Rumble!

Crack, crack, crack!

"Long Xiaoyao, I never thought an old monster like you would still be alive!"

Clearly, Xuan Zi and Long Xiaoyao knew each other quite well.

Both their Martial Souls were related to dragons.

There was even a sense of mutual respect in his tone.

Although Long Xiaoyao was the Holy Spirit Cult's Great Enshrined, he was not an Evil Soul Master in the true sense.

He was merely protecting a woman in his own way.

He could be considered the number one simp on the Douluo Continent.

In today's battle, the Evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult had originally only been tasked with retrieving Tang Ya.

But once the fighting actually began, everything spiraled out of control.

"Xuan Zi, I don't want to kill you!"

"Hand over that child, and I'll take my people and leave!"

Clearly, Long Xiaoyao had been holding himself back.

After all, Xuan Zi belonged to Shrek Academy.

He was also the man his good friend Mu En had entrusted with his charges before his death.

"Not a chance! Tang Ya is one of us at Shrek. What right do you have to take her away?"

Facing a Limit Douluo far stronger than himself, Xuan Zi stood firm.

He did not back down in the slightest.

But just as their negotiations were about to break down, something happened.

Long Xiaoyao suddenly realized something.

He glanced down slightly, then froze on the spot.

"What?"

Until then, Xuan Zi had occupied all his attention.

Long Xiaoyao had completely overlooked the situation on the ground.

And when he saw the corpses of three Titled Douluo Evil Soul Masters below, his expression changed.

A trace of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

At once, he abandoned his confrontation with Xuan Zi.

Instead, from a thousand meters above, he began searching for the killer!

Although several other extraordinarily powerful figures had accompanied Shrek Academy, this was different.

Someone had killed three Titled Douluo at once.

They had also made dozens of experts at Soul Saint level or above on the perimeter vanish without a trace.

Clearly, this was not something an ordinary person could accomplish.

At the same time, Xuan Zi also noticed that something was wrong.

But he knew his own disciples better than Long Xiaoyao did.

Among the people from Shrek here, there was no one capable of it.

Not one of them could have done all this.

Except Luo Feng, who was slowly backing away, one step at a time...

"It was him!"

Seeing this, Xuan Zi suddenly thought of a possibility.

Earlier, this very boy had brought Tang Ya back without anyone noticing a thing.

Even Huo Yuhao had only caught the faintest clues.

Could he also have been the one who killed these Evil Soul Masters?

"What?"

"This boy!"

Hearing Xuan Zi's muttering, Long Xiaoyao reacted.

His gaze swiftly locked onto Luo Feng, who was preparing to slip away.

Damn!

They spotted me!

With two powerful figures a thousand meters in the air staring at him like that, Luo Feng stiffened.

He instantly felt uncomfortable all over.

This is trouble!

He had actually killed three Titled Douluo in succession just now.

But he had relied on the divine skill Time Stop for all of it.

The problem was simple.

His cooldown was nowhere near over yet.

He had no confidence in facing Long Xiaoyao.

However, the Holy Spirit Cult's Great Enshrined did not seem to care about his subordinates' deaths.

Instead, his attention shifted entirely to the Soul Rings beneath Luo Feng's feet.

"Young man, I can sense shifts in time and space coming from you. What is your Martial Soul?"

"Release it and let me see!"

It seemed Long Xiaoyao had sensed something.

That was what had aroused such intense interest.

"Darling..."

Seeing Long Xiaoyao descend toward Luo Feng, Nan Qiuqiu moved.

She hurried over and clung tightly to Luo Feng's arm.

Facing a Limit Douluo, the girl showed not the slightest fear. Instead, a look of disdain appeared on her face.

"Senior Long Xiaoyao, you're from our Heaven Dou Empire too!"

"Is bullying juniors like us all you can do?"

As it turned out, both Shrek's late Dragon God Douluo and Long Xiaoyao had been born in the Heaven Dou Empire.

Others might not have known much about that.

But to the Earth Dragon Sect, whose members possessed dragon Martial Souls, this man was a legend.

Upon hearing the young girl's words, Long Xiaoyao paused.

After a moment's hesitation, he spoke slowly.

"You're from the Earth Dragon Sect?"

"So what if we are?"

It had to be said that Nan Qiuqiu looked rather adorable when she put on a stern front.

But what kind of man would hide behind a girl?

Luo Feng gave his wife's shoulder a gentle push.

Then he lifted his head, puffed out his chest, and looked up into the sky!

Afterward, he slowly released his Jade Dragon King Martial Soul.

"This... this is?"

When ordinary people saw Luo Feng's Martial Soul, they usually had the same reaction.

Most would assume it was some ordinary, miscellaneous dragon.

But Long Xiaoyao was different.

He possessed the dark sacred dragon Martial Soul.

Although it was far inferior to a true Dragon King, it still had a connection.

There was no way he could fail to recognize his ancestor's aura.

"This is... Boy, could your Martial Soul be the Jade Dragon King?"

A single glance had already left Long Xiaoyao utterly shocked.

He had originally believed that his and Mu En's Martial Souls were the strongest on the entire Douluo Continent.

But compared to the one before him, theirs lagged behind by several generations!

"What? The Jade Dragon King with the power of time and space?"

The next moment, Xuan Zi could no longer take his eyes off Luo Feng either.

His Martial Soul was the godly taotie bull.

It was also one of the more authentic descendants among the Dragon King's nine sons.

Whenever Luo Feng's Martial Soul was fully activated, a sense of warmth would rise in Xuan Zi's heart.

He had always wondered why that happened.

And today, through Long Xiaoyao, he found his answer.

He finally understood!

Luo Feng's strength might have been far below theirs.

But the purity of this young man's Martial Soul far surpassed both of theirs.

Even Mu En, back in his day, would have had to bow his head before that Martial Soul.

"Today's affair ends here!"

"You kept Tang Ya through your own abilities. As for these fellows, they were outmatched. They deserved to die!"

It was as though he had reached some decision.

Long Xiaoyao, who had been radiating murderous intent just moments ago, suddenly softened his tone.

He actually had no intention whatsoever of avenging his subordinates.

The mindset of an expert at the very pinnacle really was thought-provoking!

"As for you, little fellow, hurry up and grow stronger! I can hardly wait to see a true Jade Dragon King!"

It was an utterly unexpected turn of events.

Luo Feng had actually won the favor of the man before him.

"All right!"

"Then thank you, Senior!"

As a transmigrator, Luo Feng knew something.

He actually knew how Long Xiaoyao's story ended.

If not for his desire to protect that woman, things might have been different.

This senior might have wiped out the Holy Spirit Cult himself.

Still, he later passed his power on to Huo Yuhao, so he had done his part.

"You're a bold little fellow, too!"

"But even if I don't trouble you, Zhongli Wu and the others probably won't let you off!"

As he spoke, Long Xiaoyao glanced back at the people from Shrek with a complicated look in his eyes.

His gaze also lingered briefly on Huo Yuhao.

It was as though he were comparing the boy to Luo Feng.

The next moment, everyone watched the Dark Dragon tear through the sky and depart, disappearing from view in mere moments.

"Darling, what's going on?"

"What did that senior just say your Martial Soul was?"

Although the problem with Long Xiaoyao had been resolved, another remained.

Clearly, Luo Feng could no longer hide the fact that he possessed the Jade Dragon King Martial Soul.

After all, words spoken by that Peerless Douluo could not possibly be false!

"Well, Qiuqiu!"

"Didn't I tell my mother-in-law when I joined the sect? This Martial Soul is anything but ordinary!"

"You just didn't believe me..."

"You..."

After hearing Luo Feng say that, Nan Qiuqiu fell silent.

She suddenly sank into her memories.

It seemed he really had said something like that back then.

But no one had ever considered that it might be a Dragon King.

Perhaps this was simply the gulf between what they knew...
