"Whew!"
"Finally here. It should be somewhere around here!"
A figure in military-training camouflage lay prone beside Central Lake in the Star Dou Great Forest.
He was Luo Feng.
He should have been attending his freshman military training.
Yet somehow, he had transmigrated bodily to the Douluo Continent.
Like all transmigrators.
Luo Feng had a cheat, too.
It was a system called [Dragon Valley Inheritance].
Its counterpart was the secret realm in Douluo Continent III where Tang Wulin had spent a thousand days burying dragons.
For some unknown reason.
It had become Luo Feng's cheat.
He had originally thought he could summon the powers of the Nine Great Dragon Kings at will.
And rise to the pinnacle of life from then on.
But...
The system's beginner mission was too demanding.
He needed a female companion from the Dragon Clan by his side before he could successfully absorb and wield those Dragon Kings' powers.
Fortunately, the system was not entirely unreasonable.
The beginner gift pack had still given him a decent ability.
It was the Time Dragon King's power of origin.
It allowed Luo Feng to activate Time Stop once every two hours, for no longer than three minutes at a time.
It was precisely through this ability.
That Luo Feng had successfully skirted the Myriad Demon King's territory.
And slipped right under Xiong Jun's nose in the moment of Time Stop.
He had even nearly come face-to-face with the Emerald Swan...
Through one ordeal after another, running from danger all the way.
He had finally reached the forest's core.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on successfully infiltrating the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest!] [This is the only place where you can gain a woman's approval from the Dragon Clan!] [Please choose your target carefully. You have only one chance!]
Hearing the electronic voice continually scrolling through his mind.
Luo Feng held his breath.
He kept recalling the novels and animated series he had seen before.
"The Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena should be lying in that lake ahead, right? Can I handle her?"
"The Hell Demon Dragon Zi JI might appear by the lake. At this point, she isn't Di Tian's wife yet!"
"But would that violent older woman tear me apart?"
What a headache!
When reading the novel, he had even mocked Tang Wulin for being a lovesick fool.
Now that it was Luo Feng's own turn.
He trembled all over, his heart filled with unease.
Dragon women were undoubtedly the strongest soul beasts on the entire Douluo Continent.
But it seemed Tang Wulin was the only person who could win over a dragon woman.
Then what about me...
Hum!
Whoosh!
Just as Luo Feng wavered, unable to make his move.
A golden light suddenly emerged from the forest to his right, gathering into a golden dragon's silhouette in the air.
And through the mottled shrubbery.
He could vaguely make out a little golden beast there.
Behind her, however, was the phantom of a woman.
"This is...?"
"The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Wang Qiu'er?"
"Did I arrive just as she was taking human form?"
Seeing this scene.
Luo Feng finally understood.
Why the system had issued a beginner mission sending him to the central lake.
It turned out he had arrived just as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was transforming into Wang Qiu'er!
This little girl must have already met Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.
That was why she was doing this!
Compared with the mighty Silver Dragon King and the ferocious Hell Demon Dragon.
Wang Qiu'er was undoubtedly the most harmless of the three.
She also seemed the easiest to coax.
In the original story, it was precisely because this young girl had met Huo Yuhao once.
That she had begun yearning for the human world.
She had even wanted to kill Wang Dong and take her place.
The outcome went without saying.
But now!
Wang Qiu'er's fate seemed about to change.
Because Luo Feng intended to spirit this little girl away!
"To hell with it!"
"I'm going for it!"
"Time Stop!"
This was no Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
It was a genuine cessation of time.
Inherited from the Time Dragon King, one of the Nine Great Dragon Kings.
The moment Luo Feng shouted those words.
The wind around him stopped, and the waves and droplets in the lake froze as well.
Even the leaves drifting down through the air hung motionless where they were.
"You're mine!"
When Luo Feng charged toward that mass of golden light.
She was in the midst of changing from a beast into a human.
She looked as though she had taken on the rudimentary shape of a young human girl.
But when he held her in his arms, her overall form was still that of a Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
The instant Luo Feng's fingers touched this Auspicious Beast.
That electronic voice rang out in his mind again.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on unlocking the second Dragon King's inheritance, from the Mountain Dragon King.] [You will receive the passive skill Power of the Earth. As long as you stand on land, you will have endless soul power.] [Whether your stamina has been depleted or you have suffered injuries, you can recover rapidly as long as you touch the ground.] [At the same time, your defense is the strongest among the entire Dragon Clan. Even a Class 9 Soul Cannon cannot penetrate it.]
Well, damn!
Had I unlocked another Dragon King's power?!
But that was not all.
An even greater surprise was still to come.
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the beginner mission. The system will reward you with two 99,000-Year Soul Rings.] [Your current level is 22!] [We recommend quickly growing closer to your companion from the Dragon Clan, so that you can unlock the third Dragon King's power.]
All right, then!
Never mind all that for now.
Time Stop only lasts three minutes.
I have to get away from this lakeshore quickly.
Otherwise, once those super ferocious beasts react, I'll probably become their afternoon tea!
Fortunately, with the Mountain Dragon King's power bolstering him.
Even when Luo Feng ran at a hundred-meter sprint.
He did not so much as pant.
And with the reinforcement of two 99,000-Year Soul Rings.
His physical abilities were also growing rapidly.
He could not exactly claim to cover a thousand miles with divine speed.
But his feet certainly flew.
Soon, the central lake of the Star Dou Great Forest grew farther and farther away.
But the three-minute limit was also drawing ever closer.
"No, I can't stop!"
"System, open the map!"
"Mark the shortest route to Shrek City. I'm going to Shrek!"
As a transmigrator from a later era.
Luo Feng knew.
His only way to survive now was to go to Shrek.
"Whew!"
And just after the system marked out a green-and-red route.
The three-minute limit was reached!
The little golden beast that had been lying motionless in his arms quickly turned over.
And transformed completely from a soul beast into a young girl!
"You!"
"Aah!"
"Who are you? What did you do to me?"
It was a young girl's shriek.
Wang Qiu'er, who had just successfully taken human form, had never dreamed.
That she had originally been in the woods beside the central lake.
Yet now, a strange man suddenly had her locked tightly in a bridal carry.
Reflexively.
The young girl began struggling fiercely.
And let out an astonishing shriek.
"Ah, I'm done for!"
Luo Feng, too, had not been fully prepared.
Coupled with the girl struggling in his arms.
It frightened him so badly that his hands shook.
And he actually dropped Wang Qiu'er.
Boom!
Their momentum left neither of them able to stop.
They kept hurtling forward!
Moreover, after taking human form, Wang Qiu'er was still unaccustomed to walking on two legs.
She had barely taken two running steps before her body pitched forward uncontrollably!
"Watch out!"
Seeing this, Luo Feng thought of nothing else.
He instinctively rushed forward, shielding the girl in his arms with his own body.
And blocked the steep mountainside and sharp rocks for her!
Luckily, Luo Feng had received the passive reinforcement of the Mountain Dragon King's power.
Several gashes were torn through his camouflage uniform, but there was not a single scratch on his body.
They rolled downward, holding each other all the way, like a ball out of control.
In those circumstances, they could not control their bodies at all.
And so, an unexpected scene unfolded!
"Smack!"
Another violent collision sent both their heads lurching forward involuntarily.
Then, at the same time, they both lost their first kiss...
"Ah, you! We?"
As a Soul Beast who had only just taken human form.
Wang Qiu'er was naive and curious about everything.
Although the feeling in her heart was very strange.
She did not make a fuss the way a human girl would.
Instead, she opened her big, innocent eyes wide and stared intently at Luo Feng...
