The Abused Dragon God

"Heh heh heh."

Lan Xuanyu smiled. Then he blinked, looked at the table full of rare ingredients, and asked, "Bro, when I was in kindergarten, our teacher once told us that if we were lucky enough to become Soul Masters in the future, we'd definitely go in and out of all sorts of places and face all sorts of temptations. But Teacher Qiu told us to remember that, in this world, aside from the people closest to you, no one treats you well for no reason."

"So, Bro, Uncle Ye Feng is helping you so much. In the future..."

At that point, Lan Xuanyu abruptly stopped. Lin Yuan gave Lan Xuanyu a deep look, finding it somewhat unbelievable that those words had come from a six-year-old child—and that he had actually understood them.

As expected of the little Dragon God from the original work whose IQ and EQ were both maxed out. He really had gained wisdom early.

Lin Yuan leaned lazily back in his chair.

"Uncle Ye Feng and the others are helping me partly because of my parents, and naturally also because I'm so outstanding."

"Then in the future, will they make you do things you don't want to do?"

Lan Xuanyu could not help saying.

Lin Yuan had just been about to say, Are you kidding? Your brother is invincible under heaven. It's true that I should help them, and I don't dislike it, but if they make me do things I don't want to do, then they're the ones who don't know what's good for them.

But when he saw Lan Xuanyu's silent expression, for some reason, the thought of teasing him rose in his heart.

Lin Yuan suddenly remembered the melodramatic plots from short videos in his previous life, where the protagonist's sigh always carried "three parts helplessness, three parts unwillingness, and four parts acceptance."

He imitated them and let out a heavy sigh.

"Sigh..."

That sigh seemed to carry three parts helplessness, three parts unwillingness, and four parts acceptance.

"Bro, you..."

Lan Xuanyu failed to hold it in, and his eyes instantly reddened.

Children at this age always liked to imagine all sorts of things, like sometimes thinking that their mother would die. Once, Lan Xuanyu had bawled his eyes out right in front of him because of that.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan's tone changed. "Well, about that..."

"What, worried about me?"

"Mm-hm."

Lan Xuanyu nodded, not suppressing the worry in his heart at all.

"Then hurry up and get stronger. When you grow up, you'll be able to help me fulfill these responsibilities."

"Mm-hm, Bro. In the future, I'll definitely become even more amazing than you, even more outstanding than you. I'll do the things you don't want to do for you. After all, I'm so outstanding and so adorable, Bro."

Lin Yuan froze, his brows furrowing slightly. The little Dragon God in the original work had not been this shameless. Who had he learned it from?

So narcissistic!

Lin Yuan could not help saying, "Who did you learn to say things like that from?"

"From you, Big Brother." Lan Xuanyu blinked, his face innocent and pure.

Lin Yuan: ?

Lin Yuan felt offended.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan's voice calmed. "You're full, right?"

"I'm full, Bro."

"Didn't you want to spar with me twenty-some days ago? Then let's do it now."

Expressionless, Lin Yuan made a Singularity appear in his palm. With a gentle push of his right hand, the dining room instantly became an open arena.

"Show your Martial Soul and Soul Ring. Don't worry, the Soul Skill I use won't act directly on your body. You can relax now, right? And as long as you hit me, you win."

As those words fell, Lan Xuanyu revealed his silver-blue silver grass.

In an instant, the water elements in the room danced gracefully with the swaying of the Silver-Patterned Blue Silver Grass. And that blue silver grass seemed to see him, even swaying a little as if greeting him.

Lan Xuanyu's left hand raised Golden Blue Silver Grass once more, and he stepped forward.

His entire aura changed in an instant. His eyes turned crimson, and a faintly violent aura emerged.

"Bro, here I come!"

Without any hesitation, Lan Xuanyu locked onto Lin Yuan and immediately charged forward. But just as he was about to touch the corner of Lin Yuan's clothes, His body suddenly stopped. He only felt as if an invisible force around him had grabbed hold of him, making it impossible for him to advance even another inch!

The next second, a black Soul Ring instantly emerged from Lin Yuan's body.

Surging Soul Power poured out from around Lin Yuan!

Over the course of this year, Lin Yuan's compressed Soul Power had already reached rank nineteen. If he unleashed this Soul Power with all his might, then it would be no weaker than that of a four-ring Soul Ancestor—and a rather powerful Soul Ancestor at that.

Facing this vast Soul Power head-on, Lan Xuanyu's legs went weak, as if he were about to kneel.

The corners of Lin Yuan's mouth lifted slightly, and he seemed to say casually, "Is your resolve only this much?"

Is my resolve... only this much? The speaker had not meant anything by it, but the listener took it to heart. Lan Xuanyu suddenly froze. That was right. If he wanted to kneel even when facing his brother, then when he faced those people who wanted to force his brother, was he supposed to keep kneeling forever?

No... This was absolutely impossible!

In that instant, Lan Xuanyu's mind was instantly washed in gold!

A brutal aura instantly filled Lan Xuanyu's entire chest. He raised his head, and in the blink of an eye, the head of a Golden Dragon appeared as well!

Lin Yuan, watching Lan Xuanyu inexplicably go berserk: ...

"An..."

Just as Lan Xuanyu was about to erupt, a pleasant humming suddenly reached his ear:

"Is this life a battle, a fight, madness, or the way I protect you..."

The melody seemed to be accompanied by spiritual power, slipping silently into Lan Xuanyu's head.

After this period of cultivation, Lin Yuan no longer needed an instrument. He only needed to hum the melody, and the tune he was humming was the Douluo Continent Theme Song.

In an instant, within Lan Xuanyu's spiritual world, an azure planet appeared, instantly suppressing the Golden Dragon that was about to surge out with some kind of idealistic power!

Lin Yuan shook his head. "You're too weak."

Lin Yuan had just been about to step forward, but in the next second, Lan Xuanyu suddenly raised his head, the corner of his mouth pulling into a wicked grin:

"Bro, did you think the Silver-Patterned Blue Silver Grass I released just now was only for show?"

Lan Xuanyu pointed around him.

Lin Yuan was startled. He looked around and saw that all the water elements in the room had gathered together, and they even contained Lan Xuanyu's Soul Power as well as an unconscious boost from his bloodline.

Through his own spiritual perception, Lin Yuan sensed that each of those seemingly weak droplets possessed the hardness of stone. If they hit him, it would definitely hurt.

"Bro, you've lost. As long as you don't use that Soul Skill of yours to control me, the water droplets filling the sky will definitely touch you."

Lan Xuanyu clenched his hand hard.

In an instant, the water droplets filling the sky smashed down toward Lin Yuan!

"...Who gave you the confidence to think my Soul Skill can only work on objects?"

Hearing this, Lan Xuanyu froze instantly. No, bro, if a Soul Skill doesn't work on objects, then what else can it work on? Don't tell me it can work on my Soul Skill?

Lin Yuan moved.

He extended his right hand, and invisible Gravity erupted outward. The water elements instantly froze in place.

In the next second, Lin Yuan stretched out his right hand, and those water elements seemed to have received a king's command, continuously converging in Lin Yuan's palm.

Lin Yuan used Gravity to make these water elements begin moving indiscriminately, until they gradually gathered into a water sphere like a small vortex.

"Isn't this just for show?" Lin Yuan muttered.

Lan Xuanyu: ...

"This... Am I the water-element controller, or are you the water-element controller, bro...?"

Lan Xuanyu's mouth fell open. In that moment, his young heart suffered a severe shock. He could sense that the water elements were actually rejecting Lin Yuan, but they simply could not leave.

That was impossible to understand!

And also... Bro, what exactly is that water ball you're kneading in your hand supposed to mean?

Could someone who wasn't a water-element controller play with water like this?

Even Mom, a six-ring Soul Emperor, couldn't do this, right?

"This move, I call Rasengan!"

As he said the last word, Lin Yuan suddenly rushed forward and struck Lan Xuanyu with the water vortex.
