The Dragon King Stops Time to Protect His Beloved! Nan Qiuqiu Gives Her First Kiss

"Let me think about how to deal with you, you giant ice shell."

After everything around him had frozen in place.

Luo Feng ran through his four existing Soul Skills in his mind, as though watching a movie.

[First Soul Skill: World-Splitting Dragon Claw] primarily dealt explosive damage in close combat.

It could instantly cover his right hand in crystalline jade dragon scales and imbue his dragon claw with the power to slice through space.

[Second Soul Skill: Time Dragon Blade] was similar to a wave slash, an attack for medium to long range.

He crossed his arms to form an emerald-green, dragon-shaped blade of light.

Time would distort during the attack, producing a law effect that stripped away the target's years.

Because it carried the power of time, wounds inflicted by it were extremely difficult to heal.

His third Soul Skill was [Heavenly Curtain Ceasefire], which he had just used. Its effectiveness had already been proven, and it was quite practical.

[Fourth Soul Skill: Space-Time Annihilation Strike]

This was a large-area ultimate attack that could indiscriminately strike everything on the screen.

Its effect resembled the combined fire of photon and ion cannons in science fiction.

It could even create an artificial black hole within its range.

Its maximum attack radius was one thousand meters.

"The fourth Soul Skill isn't suitable. If I use it here, the entire mine will collapse!"

"Then I'll whittle you down with my first and second Soul Skills. Let's see whether your body can take it."

Having made up his mind.

The Soul Rings beneath Luo Feng's feet swiftly lit up.

A slightly translucent giant Dragon Martial Soul, unmistakably jade in color, slowly materialized.

Crack, crack, crack!

At the same time, his right hand rapidly transformed into a dragon claw!

It might have been only his first Soul Skill.

But its power was no trifling matter. This was the Jade Dragon King's legacy.

A single swipe could gouge several holes even in a Level 9 Soul Tool.

In an ordinary battle.

An opponent facing such a lethal move could dodge or condense Soul Power into a Soul Skill to counter it.

But it was Time Stop now.

It was the Jade Dragon King's domain of absolute control.

The only thing that could resist this dragon claw was the opponent's physical defense!

Smack, smack, smack!

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

The Zero-Realm Giant already possessed top-tier defenses among ice and snow Soul Beasts.

Yet beneath this dragon claw.

They still fell short.

With just the first strike, dense, spiderweb-like cracks appeared across the creature's shoulder.

Blue light could faintly be seen beneath its shell.

Fortunately, Luo Feng was only level 45 at present.

If he had reached the strength of a level 90 Titled Douluo.

That single strike, little more than a basic attack, would have been enough to crush the monster!

"Heh!"

"Pretty tough, aren't you?"

"There's still half the time left. You'll make a perfect punching bag!"

"Behold my second Soul Skill, [Time Dragon Blade]!"

Luo Feng could have chosen to claw away at it, strike after strike, until the monster before him was torn to pieces.

But such a fine living target was truly hard to come by.

It wasn't that Luo Feng hadn't wanted to spar with his fellow disciples in the sect before.

His Soul Skills were simply too terrifying.

One careless move could leave a hole in a companion's body.

He had made a rough estimate.

Even Sect Master Nan Shuishui, with her Martial Soul Avatar activated, would probably struggle to defend against his dragon claw!

Whoosh!

Smack, smack, smack!

The terrifying blade of space and time seemed to strike instantaneously.

Luo Feng had barely uttered the Soul Skill's name before its effects appeared on his opponent's body!

Even though the monster was protected by ice extreme divine crystal.

That was, after all, an inanimate substance.

How could it possibly withstand the erosion of time?

Clack!

Soon, a large section of the monster's chest caved in.

It exposed a crystal inside that resembled a magic core!

"Heh, found you!"

"First Soul Skill, shatter!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the Jade Dragon Claw plunged deeper.

Compared to the hard outer shell.

This core was far too fragile.

It was like a glass marble.

With a single flex of the dragon claw, it shattered outright!

Rumble!

Crack, crack, crack!

With its core destroyed, the monster lost the source of all its power.

The next instant, the blue glow covering its entire body dimmed.

All the profound ice and crystals broke apart once they lost the medium connecting them.

Because of the Time Stop effect.

Although the monster's body burst apart into piece after piece.

Every little fragment remained suspended in the air.

The sight was exquisitely beautiful.

It was like a high-resolution camera freezing beauty in place the instant its shutter was pressed.

[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have once again increased your innate skill's proficiency. Your Soul Power has risen to level 48.]

[Your current proficiency is still insufficient to upgrade your innate skill, so its duration and cooldown remain unchanged. Please keep up your efforts.]

Sure enough, every time he used his innate skill.

Luo Feng's abilities improved across the board.

It was just like practice making perfect.

Not long after the electronic voice faded, the forty-five-second Time Stop effect ended as well.

"Ah!"

Nan Qiuqiu was still in the same frightened state as before.

It was much like what had happened when she had watched Long Aotian's defeat.

Because her thoughts were still following their previous momentum.

This proud senior sister assumed the monster was still wreaking havoc.

But her vision suddenly blurred.

And the clinking and clattering of fragments hitting the ground rang out beside her.

It gave her quite a fright.

Fortunately, Luo Feng was there to slip an arm around her.

And whisper gently in her ear.

"Senior sister, it's all right! It's already taken care of!"

"What?"

Hearing her fiancé's reassurance.

And seeing the fragments scattered across the ground.

Nan Qiuqiu could scarcely believe her eyes.

Her mother had entered the mine many times before.

She had even brought along experts from their sect.

But someone had suffered a mishap every time.

At first, they had thought the cave was simply too cold, only to discover later that a terrifying monster lurked inside.

Thus, even when the sect master personally intervened, she couldn't bring out any valuable mineral deposits.

Yet today, the monster that made her mother pale at its very mention had become a pile of parts on the ground.

"You?"

"A Feng!"

"How on earth did you do that?"

"Was it the same move you used to defeat Long Aotian last time? This isn't teleportation. It definitely isn't teleportation!"

There was no helping it.

How was he supposed to explain a move called Time Stop?

Besides, Luo Feng had no intention of revealing his ultimate trump card.

After all, everyone deserved to have secrets!

"More or less. It should be safe here now!"

"The Earth Dragon Sect can begin large-scale mining here whenever it wants!"

"Want to go farther inside? There seems to be ten-thousand-year cold marrow in there!"

Looking at his little girlfriend, who kept jumping from one surprise to the next.

Luo Feng smiled and pointed toward the ice cavern ahead.

According to the original story's description.

Huo Yuhao and the ice beauties around him had stabilized their power by absorbing the ten-thousand-year cold marrow here!

Even Brother Sky Dream's million years of cultivation had been extracted from a similar substance.

Any single piece of this stuff would be a priceless treasure outside!

But before Luo Feng could react, Nan Qiuqiu gave him an enormous surprise.

"You scoundrel, turn around!"

"Huh?"

"Senior sister, you!"

"You're still calling me senior sister?"

Seeing Luo Feng's dazed expression.

Nan Qiuqiu's gaze suddenly became utterly resolute.

This proud, beautiful senior sister suddenly wrapped both arms around Luo Feng's neck, then rose onto her tiptoes.

And offered him her fiery red lips.

This was Nan Qiuqiu's first kiss!

And Luo Feng's, too!

They said every man and woman deeply in love found it hard to forget their first sweetheart.

Because this was a kiss that sealed their love!
