Ling Yuan's collar plunged low, revealing a large expanse of snowy, delicate skin. Her exquisite collarbones glimmered with a lustrous sheen beneath the sunlight.
Her skirt was slit high, and as the breeze stirred it, her rounded, slender, snow-white legs appeared and disappeared from view, breathtakingly beautiful.
With such a face and figure, she was truly a peerless beauty.
Long Tian reined in the Nine-Colored Divine Light radiating from his body and slowly withdrew the Rainbow Dragon Martial Soul into himself.
"This junior greets Senior."
Long Tian bowed slightly, neither servile nor overbearing.
"The disturbance just now was merely this junior's fortunate breakthrough. Something went wrong, and I inadvertently disturbed Senior."
Hearing this, Ling Yuan could not help letting out a soft, alluring laugh.
"A fortunate breakthrough?"
"Little fellow, do you take me for a three-year-old child?"
Ling Yuan's beautiful eyes shifted as she sized Long Tian up from head to toe.
"To summon countless elements in worship and make heaven and earth change color—such a phenomenon is something I have never seen anywhere on the entire Douluo Continent."
"That elemental power was so pure it was absolute. Even my origin flame felt a trace of suppression from it."
Long Tian's expression remained calm, but his mind raced.
The woman before him appeared to be only in her twenties, stunningly beautiful and captivating.
Yet the terrifying pressure that flickered in and out of existence revealed that her strength was unfathomable.
Long Tian cupped his hands again, his expression sincere.
"This junior is inexperienced and truly did not know it would cause such a commotion."
"May I ask Senior's esteemed name?"
Ling Yuan folded her arms across her chest, making her already magnificent curves appear even more imposing.
"I am Ling Yuan Douluo, a core elder of Spirit Hall."
Long Tian's heart gave a slight jolt.
Spirit Kite Douluo.
A Titled Douluo above Rank Ninety.
A true member of Spirit Hall's highest ranks.
He had not expected to encounter such a powerful expert here just after leaving Shrek Academy.
Ling Yuan looked at Long Tian, whose beauty was like that of a deity, and the admiration in her eyes grew stronger and stronger.
"What is your name?"
"Who is your master?"
"I have never heard of such a heaven-defying Martial Soul anywhere on the continent."
Long Tian met Ling Yuan's gaze openly.
"This junior is Long Tian. I am currently alone and have no master."
At this point, a self-mocking smile touched Long Tian's lips.
"To be honest with Senior, this junior was expelled from Shrek Academy only half a day ago."
Ling Yuan's breathtaking face immediately filled with astonishment.
"Expelled from Shrek Academy?"
"Were those people who call themselves monsters blind?"
Ling Yuan could hardly believe her ears.
Such an unparalleled genius, capable of stirring heavenly phenomena and controlling supreme elements, had actually been expelled by such a mediocre academy.
Long Tian smiled faintly, his tone calm.
"That Master Yu Xiaogang believed the academy already had two support-type Soul Masters and did not need another."
"This junior pointed out the flaws in his theory, only to be rebuked and forcibly expelled."
At this, Ling Yuan let out a snort filled with contempt.
"Yu Xiaogang?"
"That worthless fool who could never break through Rank Thirty and only knows how to plagiarize Spirit Hall's secrets?"
"His theories are nothing but a colossal joke."
"A frog at the bottom of a well could never achieve anything great."
Ling Yuan looked at Long Tian, the fondness in her eyes nearly overflowing.
"Since Shrek Academy cannot recognize talent, are you willing to become my disciple?"
"As long as you agree, I can not only ensure your path ahead is free of worry, but Spirit Hall's finest resources will be yours to choose from."
Ling Yuan extended an olive branch directly, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation.
Long Tian froze for a moment.
He had not expected this Titled Douluo to act so decisively, directly offering to take him as her disciple.
Countless thoughts raced through Long Tian's mind.
Now that he was traveling the continent alone, he truly needed a powerful backer.
Spirit Hall possessed immense strength and countless resources. It was indeed an excellent choice.
Moreover, this stunning Titled Douluo before him clearly thought very highly of him.
Long Tian no longer hesitated. He bent both knees slightly and bowed.
"Your disciple Long Tian greets Teacher."
At once, Ling Yuan was overjoyed.
Stepping in red high heels, she swayed her graceful waist and swiftly approached Long Tian.
An intensely rich fragrance of roses instantly washed over him.
Long Tian raised his head slightly, and his gaze happened to fall upon Ling Yuan's slender waist, narrow enough to hold in one hand.
Ling Yuan extended her jade-white hand and gently stroked Long Tian's head.
Her warm fingertips passed through his black hair, bringing a faintly numbing sensation.
"Good disciple, rise quickly."
Ling Yuan spoke with breath as fragrant as orchids, her warm breath lightly brushing Long Tian's cheek.
At such close range, as she looked upon Long Tian's flawless and incomparably handsome face, Ling Yuan became momentarily dazed.
This little fellow was truly devastatingly handsome.
Ling Yuan silently praised him, feeling that the more she looked at this newly accepted disciple, the more pleasing he became.
"From this day onward, with me here, no one on the Douluo Continent will dare bully you."
"Shrek Academy will sooner or later pay the price for its stupidity."
Ling Yuan grabbed Long Tian's hand, and a cool, soft, silky sensation immediately spread through his palm.
"Come. Return with your teacher."
Red light flashed, and Ling Yuan transformed with Long Tian into a blazing streak of fire that vanished into the horizon in an instant.
Divine Realm Center.
Within Asura Temple, the deep crimson mist suddenly churned violently.
The originally dormant killing intent abruptly thickened at that moment, nearly condensing into tangible blood, so viscous it was suffocating.
The Asura God sat upon an enormous divine throne of white bones.
His indifferent eyes slowly opened.
His gaze pierced through layers of Divine Realm clouds and locked onto the southern region of the Douluo Continent.
In that brief instant, an incomparably pure Nine-Colored Divine Light had shot into the heavens, leaving behind clear elemental fluctuations within the Divine Realm Center.
The Asura God frowned deeply.
"Rainbow Dragon?"
Those three words echoed through the vast, deathly silent hall.
Extremely dangerous killing intent spread throughout the temple. Even the surrounding void developed fine cracks under the unbearable pressure.
The tragic scenes of the Dragon God War flashed through his mind one after another.
Back then, the Dragon God had led the Dragon Clan in rebellion, and the Divine Realm had nearly collapsed completely. Countless gods had fallen, and blood rained from the sky.
That battle had left a profound impact. Even now, the Divine Realm had yet to fully recover its strength.
The might of the Dragon Clan's bloodline had once made the gods tremble.
After that great war, the Dragon Clan's bloodline became a target of the Divine Realm's focused suppression and surveillance. Under no circumstances could any Dragon Clan member be allowed to return to the Divine Realm.
"The Dragon Clan must never be allowed any chance to rise again."
The law enforcer of the Divine Realm slowly raised his right hand, condensing a blood-red divine talisman in his palm.
Auras of destruction and judgment surged wildly across the talisman's surface, radiating a heart-palpitating glow.
"Transmit my order to the lower realm's supervisory divine officials. Investigate the source of the Rainbow Dragon aura immediately."
"If the Dragon Clan shows even the slightest sign of revival, extinguish it without exception."
As the divine decree was issued, the blood-red divine talisman instantly became a streak of light, piercing through the Divine Realm's barrier and howling toward the lower realm.
