Integrating the Navy's Six Powers into the Douluo World

Long Aotian stared at the Dark Gold Demon Frog in the center of the swamp, fists clenched and face full of excitement.

"Aunt Luo, can I have this Demon Frog?"

After watching Lu Chen fight the ten-thousand-year Earth Demon Ape alone earlier, he had already been itching for a fight.

Now, he wanted to test his own skills.

However, Luo Wei shook her head with a serious expression.

"No. This entire area within a thousand meters is swamp.

Besides this thousand-year Dark Gold Demon Frog, several ten-thousand-year ones are hiding beneath it.

You won't be able to fight effectively here. If you accidentally sink into the swamp, even your life may not be safe."

Though Long Aotian was unwilling, he could only nod in agreement.

With his current strength, he had no chance against even a single ten-thousand-year soul beast.

Let alone several of them.

"Lu Chen, Aunt Luo said there are several Dark Gold Demon Frogs below that are over ten thousand years old. Wouldn't that be perfect for your second Soul Ring?" Tang Ya suddenly asked.

Lu Chen shook his head. "Dark Gold Demon Frogs mainly enhance toughness and defense. They won't help me much.

What I need is pure strength."

Tang Ya immediately understood.

Just then, Luo Wei made her move.

She took a slight step forward.

Then her figure vanished instantly. When she reappeared, she was already beside the thousand-year Dark Gold Demon Frog.

"So fast!"

Lu Chen's pupils contracted slightly.

He realized that Elder Luo Wei had not used soul power to fly through the air this time.

Instead, she had deliberately employed some kind of technique.

"That's a combat technique Aunt Luo created herself. It's called Flash Step."

Long Aotian raised a brow and smiled. "You gather soul power in your legs, then suddenly exert force with both feet and use the ground's reaction force to propel yourself. You can achieve instant movement in a single step.

At the beginning, you can only rely on the explosive force of both feet. Once mastered, you can even teleport with one foot.

What do you think, Brother Lu? Cool, right?"

After a pause, he added, "Unfortunately, this combat technique requires exceptionally powerful legs as well as precise soul power control.

That kid Chen Lü's Martial Soul is his feet, yet he still hasn't even gotten started."

Lu Chen's expression turned a little strange.

Gathering soul power in the legs to achieve sudden movement...

Wasn't that Naruto's Body Flicker Technique?

It even seemed to carry traces of One Piece's Shave.

Then his eyes lit up. Right, he was a transmigrator. He could try borrowing ideas from all sorts of moves in the anime from his previous life!

He might be restricted by the rules if he copied them perfectly, but taking their essence should be possible.

Just like Elder Luo Wei's Flash Step. With his current physical strength, he could absolutely try practicing One Piece's Shave.

If he mastered it, it would make up for his weakness of struggling to close in on enemies quickly.

And beyond that, there were Moonwalk, Paper Arts, and the other techniques of the Navy's Six Powers!

While Lu Chen was lost in thought, Luo Wei had already returned.

She casually tossed the Dark Gold Demon Frog in front of Long Aotian.

Seeing Lu Chen staring blankly at her legs, she smiled.

"What I used just now was Flash Step. I figured it out myself when I was a Soul King.

Back then, I created it to deal with Xian Lin'er, who possessed the Azure Flame Dragon Martial Soul.

Oh, right. She should be one of the elders of Shrek's Sea God Pavilion now."

When she mentioned this, Luo Wei's tone carried a hint of nostalgia.

"Back then, the two of us turned from best friends into enemies over a scumbag. We spent every day thinking of ways to defeat each other, and we made quite a few fools of ourselves along the way."

Tang Ya asked curiously, "Aunt Luo, who won in the end?"

"Of course I did."

Luo Wei looked utterly proud. "She could fly, but after I mastered Flash Step, I could briefly move through the air as well.

As long as I got close to her, with the strength I had after my silver-grade second awakening, dealing with her was easy."

Then her tone changed, and a forlorn look appeared on her face. "But even though I won, that scumbag chose her."

Tang Ya was just about to comfort her when Luo Wei's lips curled upward and her tone became cheerful.

"But I heard she couldn't hold on to that scumbag in the end, either. Later, she seemed to marry someone else.

Thinking about it now, it was truly ridiculous."

"Holy shit! What kind of explosive gossip did I just hear?"

Lu Chen's eyes widened. He had never expected to stumble onto such shocking information by accident.

Earlier, he had already thought the way Elder Luo Wei spoke with Yan Shaozhe was strange, but he had been busy fighting and had not thought much about it.

Now, the identity of that scumbag was obvious.

Yan Shaozhe was practically the benchmark for scumbags!

In his youth, he had wronged Aunt Luo from the Body Sect and Xian Lin'er from Shrek. He also seemed to have had some entanglement with Feng Ling of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Good lord, he had connections with all three major powers of Douluo III.

In the end, he had even gotten together with Cai Meier, Mu En's disciple, and firmly secured the position of dean of the Martial Soul Academy.

Tsk, tsk. That résumé was the stuff of legends.

"Lu Chen, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing Lu Chen's expression constantly shifting, Luo Wei asked in confusion.

"Uh, nothing."

Lu Chen hurriedly changed the subject. "Aunt Luo, did you deliberately demonstrate Flash Step in front of me because you wanted to teach me?"

Luo Wei nodded. "That's right. Flash Step isn't very useful once you reach Soul Saint or above, but it's highly practical in battles between lower-level soul masters.

Your physical strength fully meets the requirements to learn it. With your understanding of combat techniques, you'll master it quickly if you practice diligently."

She had always had great confidence in Lu Chen's comprehension.

Lu Chen nodded firmly, his tone resolute. "Don't worry, Aunt Luo. I definitely won't let you down."

Just then, soul power fluctuations suddenly came from Long Aotian's side.

"I did it!"

Three Soul Rings rose and fell rhythmically around his feet.

Yellow, purple, purple.

The three Soul Rings that surpassed their normal age limits fully displayed his talent.

A gratified expression appeared on Luo Wei's face.

After thousands of years of inheritance, the Body Sect was finally about to rise in their generation.

With Ao Tian assisting him and the young sect master leading the way, the sect would surely flourish.

"I can feel it! Power—overwhelming power!"

Long Aotian turned toward Lu Chen, his face brimming with confidence. "Brother Lu, let's have a fight!"

Lu Chen raised a brow.

Not long afterward, the group finished packing up and continued deeper into the area.

They were helping Lu Chen search for a suitable second Soul Ring.

"Senior Brother Ao Tian, what level is your soul power now?"

Tang Ya looked at Long Aotian's bruised and swollen face and asked curiously.

Long Aotian rubbed his badly swollen cheek as he answered indistinctly through his gap-toothed mouth.

"Level 32."

He was missing two front teeth now, making his speech unclear.

Tang Ya could no longer hold it in and burst out laughing.

"Senior Brother Ao Tian, your front teeth are letting air through!"

Long Aotian snorted and awkwardly turned his head away.

Suddenly, as if he had caught sight of something, he pointed to the left and cried out.

"Look! Something seems to be flying toward us over there!"

Lu Chen looked in the direction Long Aotian pointed and was slightly startled.

In the distant sky, a fiery-red feminine figure was rapidly approaching with the force of a gale.

Two yellow and two purple Soul Rings alternated beneath her feet.

It was Ma Xiaotao.

However, thick black energy swirled around her body, and her eyes were blood-red.

Clearly, the Evil Fire within her had completely erupted, and she had lost control.

"Isn't that the Shrek student we met before?"

Tang Ya looked surprised, her brows tightly furrowed. "That state of hers... something is definitely wrong!"

Luo Wei calmly glanced at several figures faintly visible behind Ma Xiaotao.

Her expression remained completely calm.

She neither spoke nor showed any intention of stopping Ma Xiaotao.

A mere Soul Elder was no match for the young sect master.

When Ma Xiaotao spotted Lu Chen from afar, a fleeting flash of delight passed through her chaotic consciousness.

It was as though she had found an outlet for the Evil Fire.

But that trace of clarity was quickly swallowed by violent evil energy. Her phoenix wings flapped fiercely.

Her speed abruptly increased as she charged straight at him with a world-destroying aura.

"She's coming for me?"

Lu Chen raised a brow, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

In the next instant, the phantom of a golden giant rose from the ground behind him.
