--- Chapter 266 ---

A day later.

Inside the training ground, Yunlong watched his maids fight against Madara.

He casually sat on a wooden bench with Kaguya while a black slime stayed on the ground.

"How was it your new body, Zetsu?" Yunlong looked at the slime.

"You should thank me because that vessel possessed the same consistency as your old body, or even better because you gained some new perks."

"Y-Yes, thank you so much, Yunlong sama." Zetsu fearfully answered.

"You should reach 100.000 years old quickly, so that you could have human form, Zetsu." Kaguya smiled and patted the black slime gently.

Zetsu nodded and replied, "Yes, mother."

--- Training Ground ---

Uchiha Madara looked at the group of beautiful girls with a surprised gaze.

They definitely weren't even at their mature age yet, but their battle spirits surpassed those old veterans in his last world.

"To think such a group of young women could be this powerful." He commented while entering a stance.

"Come here and entertain me."

Chu Xiaoyu walked onto the stage and drew her sword from the cold mist, making Madara look at her in interest.

"I see, that's your martial soul." Madara guessed perfectly.

Chu Xiaoyu didn't say anything and released a cold breath. A white mist quickly spawned around her body.

She arrived in front of Madara and slashed her sword at his neck.

Clank!

"A decisive swift slash to the neck, Impressive," Madara called Gunbai and parried Chu Xiaoyu's slash.

"Sword Mirages." Chu Xiaoyu's eyes shone with a deep yellow light.

Madara felt his entire body shudder for some reason and saw three swift sword slashes aimed at his neck, chest, and abdomen simultaneously.

It wasn't just a simple series of attacks because every slash at least breached the speed of sound.

(An: It's somewhat similar to Tsubame Gaeshi, though inferior)

Madara grinned and walked forward, knowing taking a few steps back would benefit him.

However, He knows Chu Xiaoyu wanted to lure him into such a position. A battle instinct trained from small and countless wars.

Even without using Sharingan, Madara could perceive one's hunger through their eyes.

"Your intent is so readable." Madara closed his distance with Chu Xiaoyu.

Clank!

Chu Xioayu frowned because Madara read her sword and protected his abdomen with Gunbai.

"As the young master said, this is interesting." Chu Xiaoyu, who wasn't very talkative, smiled.

She took a few steps back and bowed slightly, "Sorry for letting you down. I'll be serious from now on."

"Hmm?" Madara tilted his head.

Chu Xiaoyu grasped her sword tightly, and an ice layer started to form on the ground.

"Thousand Mist." She raised her sword.

Shiiing~

Madara's eyes narrowed, and thousands of sword slashes reached over him. Chu Xiaoyu stayed in her position, but her sword intent has caught him for some reason.

Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank!

Madara parried and dodged to the left, followed by a shunsin to Chu Xiaoyu.

BOOM!

He bounced every sword with Gunbai and kicked Chu Xiaoyu, who was in her calm state, only finding that she was only a mist.

"Did my sense become dull?" Madara frowned because such trickery shouldn't have worked on him.

"No, I just haven't adapted to this body yet."

Chu Xiaoyu slashed her sword relentlessly, and Madara parried every single of them with such ease.

They lasted for a few minutes until Madara felt a cold sword pierce his abdomen.

"As expected, it's good to be alive." Madara finally used his Sharingan.

He punched the sword away and sealed his wound with spirit energy.

Chu Xiaoyu appeared with a swift strike, but it was futile because her movement became awfully slow in Madara's eyes.

BAM! Cough!

Madara punched Chu Xiaoyu on the guts and launched her a few meters away.

"More!" He kicked Chu Xiaoyu.

BAM! CLANK!

Chu Xiaoyu defended with her sword and landed far away from Madara.

(An: A title douluo physical strength is no joke)

"Xiaoyu, do you need help?" Yu Ning'er asked in disguise of her excitement to fight Madara.

"No," Chu Xiaoyu was about to strike Madara back, but he casually crossed his arm.

"All of you can fight me at the same time. it would be more interesting." Madara stated, which left Chu Xiaoyu speechless.

She immediately moved her gaze to Yunlong and requested confirmation.

"Sure, it would be a good experience." Yunlong nodded in agreement.

Yu Ning'er, Bai Xue, and Zhu Zhuqing entered the stage with tremendous fighting spirit, forming a wide grin on Madara's face.

'It wouldn't be as boring as I thought.' Madara suddenly thought.

He becomes disappointed later because his enemy is weak compared to Yunlong's maids, which wasn't his fault either.

Chu Xiaoyu glanced at her fellow maids and decided to use her ice armor.

Yu Ning'er called her thunder spear and roared in excitement, making golden electricity run wild on her body.

Bai Xue had already prepared her buddha lotus and observed Madara keenly.

Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing just disappeared to nowhere because her advantage is silent attack, and using frontal attack is useless against Madara after her quick observation.

Madara activated his mangekyou sharingan and confidently remarked, "Entertain me, I as the right hand will judge your strength."

Chu Xiaoyu and Yu Ning'er lunged forward and attacked Madara with a swift attack.

Madara welcomed them with his Gunbai and received Yu Ning'er attack, which electrocuted him.

He gritted his teeth and transferred the electricity into the ground with a stomp.

BAM! Crack!

He created a crater, exploding the solid concrete up.

Chu Xiaoyu slashed the ruble and advanced with a horizontal slash.

"Susanoo." Madara slapped Chu Xiaoyu away with his Susanoo.

BOOM!

Chu Xiaoyu held the urge to cough blood and landed on a wall.

"Charge!" Yu Ning'er heavily punched Madara's Susanoo and created a crack.

BAM! CRACK!

The crack spread, but Madara casually slapped her too to the wall.

BOOM!

Yu Ning'er landed on a tree and felt her shoulder bone dislocated slightly.

She laughed maniacally, and her eyes turned red, making her thunder into crimson color simultaneously.

Bai Xue's silhouette flashed to Madara, and she casually threw her buddha lotus at him. With fierce firepower, it could kill the spirit saint instantly.

BOOM!

Madara was launched because of the explosion and tried to catch a glimpse of the last girl, yet he couldn't find her for some reason.

He shuddered violently and noticed a pair of daggers almost stabbed his neck and back.

'How did she approach me without releasing a single faint of presence.' Madara's eyes widened.

Madara wanted to move, but a crimson fox defended him from Zhu Zhuqing.

"Hashira." He said with a surprised tone.

After becoming a partner with a 42.000 years old crimson fox, Madara named the spirit beast [Hashira] to remember his old friend.

Hashira, meaning pillar, as Madara hoped the crimson fox would be one of the solid pillars for him in this new world.

A bright red flame burst out of Madara's body, and a black spirit ring materialized in the air.

He wryly looked at the crimson fox and sighed, "I guess we'll test your ability too."

Hashira complained adorably and raised his paws together, indicating it wasn't his ability but their ability.

"Fine, it's our ability." He smirked ominously.

Zhu Zhuqing retreated to the shadows and watched Madara again silently.

"Flame Monarch." Madara chanted and created a fiery field around him.

He dismissed his Susanoo and walked toward the four maids, who had gathered in the same place.

"Since I'm pretty satisfied, let's end this here." Madara used his hand signs.

Chu Xiaoyu breathed and entered her natural stance with such ease.

"Divine Swallow." She launched a simple yet powerful Iai sword slash at Madara.

Yu Ning'er clasped her hands and drew crimson lightning into her palm, compressing them into pure energy.

She grasped her thunder spear and prepared to throw it at Madara. "A dragon fury strike." She muttered while a bolt of terrifying lightning burst from her entire body.

Bai Xue shook her head and created four intense flames in the air, fusing them quickly into a beautiful lotus.

"Buddha Lotus: Annihilator." She glanced at the floating four-colored lotus.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't release any energy, but her murderous intent flared strongly. She grasped her daggers tightly and covered herself in a dark aura.

She didn't say anything and looked at Madara like he was her prey.

"Fire Style: Monarch Destroyer Flame." Madara spouted an enormous fireball, spreading into a thousand crimson foxes instantly.

Chu Xiaoyu stepped forward and gently slashed her sword vertically, followed by a powerful gust of cold winds.

Yu Ning'er rotated her body and launched a spear attack on Madara.

ROAR!

The spear got covered by intense lightning and turned into a dragon head.

Bai Xue called her broom and struck the four-colored lotus with it, making like she hit a baseball.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A terrifying storm swept over and destroyed the entire training ground.

"I won." Madara grinned because the maids stopped in their position motionlessly.

However, akin to teleportation, Zhu Zhuqing blinked in front of him and caught Madara off guard, stabbing him twice in the chest.

Cough!

He fell to the ground and looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a speechless expression.

"You let your guard down for a second." Zhu Zhuqing calmly commented. "I only need one attack."

Madara covered his mouth in disbelief for a moment and laughed joyfully.

"Master, I'll gladly accept this as my defeat." He declared, to which Yunlong responded with a nod.

Madara didn't go all out against Yunlong's maids, but he realized something far more important than winning.

Yunlong smiled at his maid and said, "You four have grown tremendously, so I'll give a reward for each of you later."

"Thank you, young master." They replied excitedly.

However, Yunlong shrugged it off and commented, "Thank me after I give you the reward."

"Um, Yunlong." Kaguya quietly whispered.

"I'll give you one too later." Yunlong gently patted Kaguya's head, leaving Zetsu speechless on the side.

'Mother behaves like a maiden in love, what kind of forbidden jutsu he uses to her!' Zetsu thought while moving his gaze to Yunlong's maids.

'And those little monsters, how could they fight Madara almost equally.' He continued with horror.

Yunlong, who could hear one's heart, ignored Zetsu's rant and looked at the destroyed training ground.

"Well, I have to explain something to mom." He wryly commented.

--- Throne's Room ---

Bibi Dong heard some of her subjects report the current condition of the empire and suddenly heard several explosions from the training ground.

"Your majesty, are we under attack?" A female secretary asked.

"Don't worry. The explosion will calm down in a few seconds." Bibi Dong responded naturally.

Nonetheless, the explosion didn't stop and became louder instead, making the secretary more worried.

"It's okay... Just continue the report." Bibi Dong pressed them with her cold smile.

"Ah-Ah, yes."

"Um, we have pretty much secured all places in the continent."

"There is the noticeable trace of Sun and Moon's merchant on North and South West, but we couldn't track them because they disappeared abruptly on the beach."

"We guessed they probably went back to the Sun and Moon continent through the ocean."

"That's weird." Bibi Dong commented while placing her finger on the throne.

"Pardon, your majesty?" The secretary tilted her head in confusion.

"The ocean is filled with an unknown and dangerous spirit beast." Bibi Dong said with a thoughtful expression.

"There is a legend about a 100.000 years old sea dragon and a 1 million years old spirit beast in the deep sea." She added, which surprised all her subjects.

"A million years old spirit beast, how could such an entity exist?" The secretary muttered in fear.

"Why are all of you surprised? It's like you haven't seen a title douluo before."

"Who do you think sat in front of you all right now!"

"THE EMPRESS OF GREAT SPIRIT EMPIRE!" They respectfully stated at the same time.

"Hmph, it's good that all of you remembered." Bibi Dong sneered. "If not, I might have to appoint new people for your position."

They released a cold sweat and fearfully bowed at Bibi Dong.

"We are truly sorry, your majesty." They kneeled and made their heads touch the floor.

Bibi Dong sighed and suddenly commented, "Let me ask you something obvious. If you couldn't travel through land or water, what alternative path should you take?"

"Raise your head and look above."

They slowly raised their heads and looked at the ceiling with a sudden realization.

"The sky?!"

'Why did I even bother to grant them such a position.' Bibi Dong massaged her temple a little.

"We need more talent in such a field, but we have none at the moment." She looked at the training ground, where Yunlong patted Kaguya.

Bibi Dong is amazed by how Yunlong casually gained valuable people on his side one after another.

He casually gathered them like random grass on the street.

"Give this new information to the investigation squad. I'll handle another thing first." Bibi Dong commanded, to which they responded with a nod.

After they left the room, Bibi Dong couldn't help but groan in doubt. "Was I too hasty to form an empire?" She contemplated.

"Why are you stressed?" Yunlong's voice comes from behind.

Bibi Dong could feel a warm hand massage her shoulder and hug Yunlong tightly.

"Let me hug you." She whispered.

"Did something happen?" Yunlong asked because Bibi Dong was somewhat depressed.

Bibi Dong sighed and explained everything happened since her reign as the empress. Yunlong listened carefully and felt this was partially his fault.

"Talented people, huh." Yunlong wondered for a second.

He checked his inventory and read the reward he got last time. "I might have a way to help." He raised his lips slightly.

[Item Name: An Advance Summoning Circle]

[Description: A rare item that used a summoning circle to connect one world to another, with an enormous cost of energy the user could link two worlds through rift tunnel]

[Warning: Host could only connect the world you once visited or lived in, and it was limited to two worlds only]

Even though the warning rubbed the salt on Yunlong's past wound, he still greatly appreciated such a reward from his quest.

However, a cruel smile quickly formed on Yunlong's face.

"All for one, what a great day to find out that I could finally meet you again."
