— Chapter 76 —

After Han Yuan and Liu Erlong returned to the ground, Han Yue snatched her beloved brother from the hand of the evil cow back at lightning speed.

Liu Erlong noticed the threatening look in Han Yue’s eyes and giggled, not caring much. Before facing her inner struggle, she’d have been ashamed and played it as a joke, but not anymore.

She was over with waiting for uncertainty.

She also wants the best for herself.

Even if it’s a little egoistic and immoral.

Dugu Bo stared at Liu Erlong solemnly and asked, “Dean, how strong are you exactly? I can feel an overwhelming force from you, and I’m a Title Douluo.”

“About that…” Liu Erlong clenched and unclenched her hand. “I’m not sure either.”

“However, I can roughly feel that the Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin won’t be my enemy if we fought directly, even if no poison is involved.”

Everyone was shocked by Liu Erlong’s reply because She said a 100,000-year-old spirit beast wouldn’t be her enemy. That’s a bold statement, but she wouldn’t lie about it.

Han Yuan sighed inwardly because Liu Erlong’s battle prowess had really reached the Title Douluo Realm. The enhancement her evolution bought is too much.

Elder Dragon.

Progenitor.

Ultimate Attributes, especially Annihilation!

Each trait allowed Liu Erlong to be a genuine powerhouse on the Douluo Continent.

Dugu Bo sighed, “Damn, I’m really old. Dean is half my age, and she has the strength of Title Douluo. Not to mention, she could get even stronger upon reaching the Title Douluo Realm.”

“At that point, my presence will become redundant.”

“Haha, you shouldn’t say such a thing, Senior. You can also get stronger as long as you follow Xiao Yuan.” Liu Erlong responded naturally, having this charisma that her former self didn’t have.

“Also, Dao Academy couldn’t get enough of Title Douluo. So, of course, the more Title Douluo we have, the better it was for us.”

Han Yuan and Han Yue blinked at Liu Erlong in disbelief, ‘This change is too drastic!’

Liu Erlong saw their reaction and winked, “What do you think?”

Who are you?

Where is the slow Female Tyrannosaurus we know and love-! Ah, scratch that last part!

Han Yuan and Han Yue were speechless. It was too much for them to adapt for the first time.

Ye Xuelan narrowed her eyes, thinking another competitor was about to join the tournament. Then, she sighed because she couldn’t win against the current Liu Erlong.

However, Ye Xuelan won’t give up.

After all, she also has her advantages, like her daughter.

Ye Lingling felt her mother’s gaze and nodded in understanding.

Mother and daughter, together, we are strong!

“Wow!” Dugu Yan was amazed by Liu Erlong’s transformation and wanted to do the same. She felt the current Liu Erlong is so cool.

Lastly, Dugu Xin’s mouth twitched because he was supposed to catch up with Liu Erlong, but then she left him in her dust.

Han Yuan shook his head helplessly because they had experienced many things today and said, “Well, we should quickly leave the mountain range as the commotion we caused is bound to attract attention in one way or another. We can count our harvest in the academy later.”

“Okay!” x7.

With that, everyone hurriedly left the Burning Mountain Range and used the Star Dou Forest as their escape route because any place with humans would get investigated by Spirit Hall and other factions. They couldn’t leave any traces behind.

Of course, there is an exception. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan would undoubtedly connect the dots because of how cunning Ning Fengzhi was, assuming somebody from Han Yuan’s group went to the Burning Mountain Range to kill the 100,000-year-old spirit beast they gave info about not too long ago.

Thankfully, Ning Fengzhi was still in the dark about Han Yuan being the Merchant Union’s Golden Member.

Anyway, back to Han Yuan and others. They successfully traveled over the Star Dou Forest because of Dugu Bo and Liu Erlong’s strength and arrived at the Soul Hunting Town called Freebird Town in half a day.

The sky has turned dark, welcoming a beautiful white moon.

“Okay, let’s rest in this town.” Han Yuan looked at the exhausted Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling. “We can continue our journey in an hour.”

“I want to take a bath…” Han Yue said slowly.

“This one day and night journey has made my body all sticky.”

“Me too!” Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling agreed with Han Yue.

“Hmm, I could use a warm bath.” Liu Erlong chimed in with a smile. “What about you, Xuelan.”

Ye Xuelan smiled back, “Yeah, that sounds good.”

On the other hand, Han Yuan, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Xin glanced at each other awkwardly.

“I think…” Dugu Bo was about to say something.

“Nope!” Han Yuan rejected Dugu Bo’s proposal before he could finish his words. He doesn’t want to take a bath with dudes.

“Let’s look for information instead.”

“Well, that’s good, too.” Dugu Bo replied reluctantly.

Dugu Xin quietly lamented, “But warm water would feel so good now…”

“We can clean ourselves later. I want to know what occurred to the world when we were busy hunting spirit beasts.” Han Yuan rolled his eyes at him, walking away.

Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin sighed and followed Han Yuan.

After roaming a few minutes in the Freebird City, Han Yuan found his way to the Merchant Union’s branch. He entered with Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin, buying information about the latest events in the Douluo Continent.

They learned that the chaos they had done at the Burning Mountain Range had spread to all factions on the Douluo Continent.

After all, the meteors are still visible to many people far away. There is also a lightning strike that erases everything.

“Divine Punishment, God’s judgment on the world, huh?” Han Yuan read the information with an amused expression.

Dugu Bo chuckled, “No one would have thought it was you who did that lightning strike, Young Master.”

“I mean… Anyone with a working mind wouldn’t have believed a seven-year-old did it, haha~!” Dugu Xin added with laughter.

Han Yuan smiled, “Well, it’s funny, though.”

“But the next information isn’t good.”

They discovered a “major” thing happened in the Heaven Dou Empire and some rumors about the Star Luo Empire.

Dugu Bo read the information and sighed, “The second prince succumbed to his illness and died. The Heaven Dou Empire won’t be calm for a few months because this was good news for the Star Luo Empire.”

“The border provocation will become more intense…”

“The conflict between two empires has always been this heated?” Dugu Xin commented while feeling somewhat complex because he ignored all these politics due to his poisoning.

“Yeah.” Dugu Bo nodded. “Sometimes, Prince Xue Xing even asked me for a favor to clean some competitors on that side.”

Dugu Xin’s mouth twitched, “Father, you’re actually willing to be someone else’s hunting dog.”

“Hmph, what hunting dog? I’m cleaning some small fry because Prince Xue Xing saved my life once.” Dugu Bo argued back.

“You gotta be joking! That’s exactly what hunting dogs do?!” Dugu Xin was speechless.

Han Yuan ignored Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin’s argument and continued to read the last bits of information. “The Second Prince of the Star Luo Empire has run away, and his current location is unknown…”

“Dai Mubai finally left the Star Luo Empire? The competition for the royal throne is indeed difficult for him.”

“If my presence didn’t cause too much butterfly effect, Dai Mubai should come to the Shrek Academy soon.”

“Hmm, maybe I should adopt a cat?”
