"You little rascal, Luo Feng! I know you're slacking off!"
It was a lovely young woman's voice.
But there was a trace of anger in her tone.
It jolted Luo Feng straight out of his sweet dreams.
He opened his bleary eyes, and a pretty face with slightly chubby cheeks came into view.
This was Nan Qiuqiu.
She was the young mistress of the Earth Dragon Sect, as well as Luo Feng's eldest senior sister.
Luo Feng wasn't originally a native of the Douluo Continent during the Peerless Tang Sect era.
Strictly speaking, he should have been a college freshman this year.
He had happily gone to register.
Only to somehow transmigrate here.
Like most transmigrators.
Luo Feng had bound himself to a system called [Legend of the Dragon King].
The system had also given him a badass Martial Soul.
It was the Jade Dragon King, which embodied the power of space and time.
Precisely because of that.
The Earth Dragon Sect's leader, Nan Shuishui, had taken a liking to Luo Feng the moment he transmigrated.
"Senior sister, why are you yelling in broad daylight?"
"Just let me sleep a little longer!"
Although Nan Qiuqiu had a lively personality.
And her looks weren't bad either.
She just loved keeping tabs on people.
It was a little annoying...
Seeing how lazy Luo Feng was only made Nan Qiuqiu's anger flare higher.
The voluptuous eldest senior sister planted both hands on her hips.
Nan Qiuqiu lifted her chin, thrust out her chest, and scolded him with righteous conviction.
"If you spend three days fishing and two days drying your nets like this, when will you ever become a Titled Douluo?"
Damn!
Did she have to take this so seriously?
With this beautiful senior sister making such a racket, Luo Feng couldn't sleep.
Luo Feng had no choice but to slowly get up.
But his tone remained lazy.
"Senior sister, stop messing around!"
"Our Martial Souls are both dragons!"
"Don't dragons cultivate by sleeping?"
"You!"
His eldest senior sister realized she was no match whatsoever for this shameless junior brother.
Nan Qiuqiu immediately bared her claws and fangs.
She went from a graceful young senior sister to a snarling tigress.
At the sight of that.
Luo Feng's headache only got worse!
"All right, all right, you win!"
"Time Stop, activate!"
Perhaps too lazy to fend her off, just as his senior sister's dragon claw was about to strike.
Luo Feng snapped his fingers with effortless flair.
And then...
The entire world seemed to freeze.
Every movement Nan Qiuqiu was making stopped on the spot.
The falling leaves above their heads hung suspended in midair.
Even the senior and junior brothers sparring in the distance froze in place.
This was the Space-Time Dragon King's innate ability.
Stopping time.
The instant this state took effect.
An electronic notification that transcended the laws of reality sounded in Luo Feng's mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on using your innate Time Stop again. Your proficiency has increased by another 30%.] [Each use of Time Stop now lasts 30 seconds, with a cooldown of two hours.] [However, once you upgrade the skill to the next level, its duration will increase and its cooldown will decrease.] [Ding! Congratulations on gaining three levels of Soul Power by using this skill.] [Your Soul Power has now reached level 42. The system will automatically match you with the corresponding Soul Rings.]
The Jade Dragon King was one of the Nine Great Dragon Kings.
Although its true body had fallen forever in Dragon Valley.
When Luo Feng shattered the void and arrived in this world.
He happened to bind himself to a wisp of the Jade Dragon King's soul that had seeped out.
Combined with the support of the [Legend of the Dragon King] system.
It had given him the comfortable life he enjoyed now.
Unlike most Soul Masters.
He didn't need to cultivate desperately; he only had to use his innate Soul Skill once every two hours.
That was enough to keep stimulating increases in his Soul Power.
And whenever he reached a threshold.
The system would automatically match him with the corresponding Soul Ring.
That was the treatment afforded to the Nine Great Dragon Kings.
So, even without going to Shrek, the strongest institution on the Douluo Continent.
And merely holing up in this remote Earth Dragon Sect.
Luo Feng still lived quite comfortably.
Of course, there was another perk.
There were plenty of senior sisters here, all easy on the eyes.
Take the fierce eldest senior sister standing before him, Nan Qiuqiu, for example.
She was quite charming when she wasn't talking.
Then there was the current sect leader, Nan Shuishui.
That figure, that face—even that old skirt-chaser Cao himself would have dropped to his knees and sung "Conquest" before her.
Listening to the system's notifications.
And looking at the four black Soul Rings that appeared beneath his feet.
Luo Feng smiled.
As expected of the Jade Dragon King. Now that's prestige!
Then he took another careful look at Nan Qiuqiu before him.
"Such a cute girl. Why do you have to be so fierce?"
Unable to help himself, Luo Feng playfully brushed a finger over his senior sister's delicate nose.
It felt smooth and soft.
Marrying this girl someday wouldn't be bad, actually.
But I still prefer Sect Leader Nan Shuishui's type!
Once he had finished all that.
Luo Feng paid no attention to the countdown.
He walked straight toward the dining hall.
He had slept for over an hour and was feeling a little hungry!
But before Luo Feng could pick up a steamed bun.
His eldest senior sister's furious roar came from behind him again!
"Luo Feng, where did you run off to now?"
"You bastard, do you have a teleportation Soul Skill? You run away every time I try to have a proper talk with you!"
In fact.
Similar incidents had happened several times already.
But how could Nan Qiuqiu's cute little head possibly grasp the concept of Time Stop?
She merely assumed Luo Feng had a decent escape technique.
One that let him slip away from danger without anyone being the wiser.
"Senior sister, he's in the dining hall!"
One of the nearby fellow disciples promptly tattled.
By the time Nan Qiuqiu charged over again.
Luo Feng had already picked up a bowl of porridge.
"You're good at running away, huh? Fine, we have a friendly match against the Body Sect this afternoon!"
Suddenly, a little devil's smile appeared on Nan Qiuqiu's face.
So his eldest senior sister had been trying to round up competitors all along.
They were all part of the Heaven Dou Empire.
So the major sects held sparring matches every so often.
"Senior sister, you know all I can do is run away. Leave me out of matches like that, okay?"
Luo Feng took another bite of his stuffed bun without so much as glancing at the senior sister beside him.
Although he was a transmigrator.
Luo Feng had no desire to compete with Huo Yuhao for first place.
Nor did he intend to fight Xu Tianran for dominion over the world.
He just wanted to enjoy himself and play his way through life.
But alas.
"No. I've already submitted your name. You're fighting first!"
"They're sending out level-60 Long Aotian. Get ready!"
What the hell!
She was clearly using official business to settle a private grudge.
Long Aotian was Princess Vina's fiancé, as well as the Body Sect's acknowledged strongest member of the younger generation.
But hearing that name didn't frighten Luo Feng.
Instead, an eager urge to try his hand stirred in his heart.
After freeloading for so long, he honestly didn't know where his strength ranked in the Peerless Tang Sect era.
This was the perfect chance to test it!
But shouldn't there be a little something riding on the outcome?
"Senior sister, since you're giving me the opening match, do I get a reward if I win?"
"You? Keep dreaming! If you can beat Long Aotian, I'll marry you!"
Well, all right!
Nan Qiuqiu really knew how to make a bet.
No wonder Huo Yuhao had you wrapped around his finger in the original story.
But since you're delivering yourself right to my door.
I won't stand on ceremony!
"All right. Since you've said that, senior sister, I'll definitely have to give it my best!"
"Everyone, bear witness for me, so our senior sister can't go back on her word later!"
In fact, thirty seconds of Time Stop was more than enough to take Long Aotian down!
Seeing Luo Feng's cocky, untamable expression.
Nan Qiuqiu still didn't seem to realize how serious the situation was.
"Tch, you make it sound like you actually could!"
"I can put it in writing right now. If you win, not only am I yours, I'll even throw in my dowry!"
