Douluo: Refreshing Entries, Luck Is on My Side from the Start!

"If Feng'er hadn't pleaded for you today, you'd all be leaving your lives behind."

"You teachers should keep a better watch over the students you bring out in the future."

"Now get the hell out of here. Don't get in my sight."

Dugu Bo spoke irritably, then withdrew his Soul Power.

As the Soul Power abruptly vanished, everyone toppled over from inertia, landing in a tangled heap.

The group helped each other to their feet. Just as Yu Tianheng opened his mouth to say something—

"Damn brat."

"I've put up with you all the way here!"

One of the teachers glared furiously, then struck Yu Tianheng across the back, knocking him unconscious.

"Senior Dugu, forgive our disturbance."

"We'll be leaving now."

Qin Ming turned and waved for everyone to quickly carry Yu Tianheng away, then hurried off.

Boom!

With an explosive sound, the Soul Power around Dugu Yan dissipated.

"Lin Feng, Grandpa, I successfully absorbed the ten-thousand-year soul ring!"

"And my Soul Power is level 41 now."

Dugu Yan happily rose to her feet and shared the good news with them.

"Good."

"As expected of Poison Douluo's granddaughter."

Dugu Bo nodded in satisfaction, smiling as he stepped forward and stroked Yan'er's head.

"Lin Feng, my Soul Power is higher than yours now, right?"

"Before you hunt a soul beast and absorb a soul ring, you're only level 40."

Dugu Yan first hugged her grandfather and rubbed against him.

Then she turned around, wagged a finger at Lin Feng, and said with utter seriousness.

Though she knew this might be the only chance in her life to surpass Lin Feng.

"Fine, you're higher than me. Happy now?"

Lin Feng looked at Yan'er's adorable expression and smiled helplessly.

"Hahahaha!"

"You two!"

Dugu Bo could not help bursting into hearty laughter at the sight.

In the distance, Qin Ming and the others were leaving.

"Teacher Qin, was that little boy beside Senior Dugu—Lin Feng—also level 40?"

Yan Que'er asked curiously as they flew through the air.

"Most likely. Poison Douluo said Dugu Yan reached level 40 by taking some kind of immortal herb. There's no reason he wouldn't give one to Lin Feng too."

Qin Ming nodded with certainty.

"Hm? Ah..."

"What level 40?"

"What happened?"

On someone's back, the awakened Yu Tianheng clutched his neck. Hearing them talk, he drowsily joined in without thinking.

"What level 40?"

"That Lin Feng fellow—your classmate—has level 40 Soul Power too."

Yan Que'er replied expressionlessly.

"Huh?"

"How is he also...?"

"Ah!"

Having heard the entire exchange, Yu Tianheng felt as though he had been struck by lightning, his mind instantly clearing.

He sighed repeatedly, clutching his chest as frustration welled up inside him.

"Don't overthink it. The two of you aren't people from the same world!"

Qin Ming comforted him from the side.

"Hmph!"

Yu Tianheng jumped down from the teacher's back and strode ahead with an unhappy expression.

"Ah..."

Qin Ming watched Yu Tianheng's retreating figure and let out a long sigh.

Originally, he had wanted to ask whether Lin Feng and the others needed any help, hoping to leave them with a good impression.

But before he could say it, Yu Tianheng had ruined everything, leaving things in this state.

Since it had come to this, there was nothing else to be done.

Besides, with Senior Poison Douluo beside Lin Feng and Dugu Yan, they had no need for help from the likes of them.

Qin Ming hurried after Yu Tianheng, feeling a wave of disappointment in his heart.

Back at Shrek Academy, he had thought himself a peerless genius rarely seen in the world.

Only after coming out did he realize there were plenty of people more monstrous than him.

Leaving aside freakish cultivation speeds like Lin Feng's and Dugu Yan's—

Even Yu Tianheng, a thirteen-year-old Soul Elder, was no less talented than he was.

"Ah!"

"Dean Fu, Teacher Zhao..."

"You always said I was the continent's number one genius. I'm afraid Qin Ming has disappointed your expectations."

Qin Ming sighed, unable to stop himself from murmuring to Shrek Academy's teachers in his heart.

He felt deeply ashamed.

The true number one genius on the continent was someone else.

"Grandpa, let's hurry and find Lin Feng's fourth soul ring."

Dugu Yan was delighted by Lin Feng's deflated expression.

Without thinking, she rushed forward, hugged Lin Feng, and kissed his cheek.

Lin Feng smiled, wrapped an arm around Dugu Yan, and returned the kiss on her soft lips.

They were soft and sweet.

Dugu Bo merely smiled from the side.

After spending the past few days with them, he no longer minded their intimate gestures.

After all, he was truly satisfied with Lin Feng, his future son-in-law.

"All right, all right, you two, stop being so lovey-dovey. We're setting out now."

Dugu Bo said, stroking his beard.

The central region of Sunset Forest—the Molten Land.

Guided by the Dragon Seeking Ruler, Lin Feng and the others arrived there.

The Molten Land was a barren realm ruled by scorching flames and bubbling magma.

The sky here seemed obscured by thick volcanic ash, shrouding everything in a dim and oppressive atmosphere.

"Wow, I never expected Sunset Forest to have a place like this."

Dugu Yan could not stop marveling.

Lin Feng was equally astonished by the sight before him.

"Do you know why this forest is called Sunset Forest?"

"Because this place looks like where the sun fell."

"That's why it's called Sunset Forest."

"And a type of extremely rare Flame Beast lives here. It's very suitable for Feng'er."

Dugu Bo smiled as he explained it to the two of them.

"Other than magma everywhere, I don't see any soul beasts here."

Dugu Yan asked in confusion.

"Because the Flame Beast is beneath the magma."

Watching the Dragon Seeking Ruler in his hand vibrate and point in a certain direction, Lin Feng spoke with certainty.

"That's right."

"Legend has it that the Flame Beast lives beneath the magma."

"But to this day, no one has seen what it truly looks like."

Dugu Bo looked at Lin Feng and nodded.

"Yes. I once saw records of this Flame Beast in an ancient book."

"The book said that in ancient times, there was a Flame Beast shaped like a Kirin, with a single horn and undying fire within its body."

"After it died, it left behind a Flame Crystal, whose residual heat would not fade for a hundred years."

"What that means is that the fire within this Flame Beast never goes out."

"Even after death, the Flame Crystal on its forehead can still give off heat for hundreds of years."

"If what the book says is true, then this Flame Crystal is an exceedingly rare treasure."

Lin Feng continued from where Dugu Bo had left off.

At the side, Dugu Yan listened attentively, looking at Lin Feng with admiration in her eyes.

"Xiaofeng, hasn't your martial soul evolved into Ultimate Fire? Then you..."

Dugu Bo looked at Lin Feng with concern.

"Emperor Flame Nine-Headed Dragon, manifest!"

"First Soul Skill, Fire Dragon, Entwine!"

Before Dugu Bo could finish, Lin Feng summoned his martial soul and used his First Soul Skill.

His entire body was wrapped in the Ultimate Fire of the Emperor Flame Nine-Headed Dragon as he leaped straight into the magma.

Single Kill, Not a Stain on His Clothes

"Lin Feng, Lin Feng!"

On the shore, Dugu Yan called out anxiously, her face full of worry.

"Feng'er is far too rash. He jumped down before I could even finish speaking."

"Yan'er, don't panic."

"With his Ultimate Fire, magma of this level can't hurt him."

"Now it depends on how he handles the Flame Beast himself."
