At this moment, the Thunder Dragon's head fiercely collided with the faint black barrier, seemingly intending to smash the protective screen before its eyes into dust.
However, despite struggling for a long time, it wasn't successful.
Then, its body flickered, and it abruptly raised its head, soaring into the sky before crashing down once more.
Boom!
Another violent collision ensued.
But the faint black barrier in front of Zhao Wuji remained completely undisturbed.
"Goodness, it appears to be just a thin membrane, yet Yu Luomian has exhausted so much effort and still can't break it? Pah, his shield?"
"Old Zhao's got something special with his soul skill."
Flander couldn't contain his excitement, patting his thigh vigorously; Zhao Wuji's strength had somewhat exceeded his expectations.
In fact.
Yu Luomian had also begun to mutter in his heart, "What the hell, I've launched my attacks with all my might, but I can't break his… spit, his shield?"
Thinking this.
He rose into the air once more, and then fell again.
Over and over.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Flander had lost count of how many times Yu Luomian had launched his attacks.
But Old Zhao's defensive barrier was still standing tall.
In his heart, Flander had already silently given Zhao Wuji a big thumbs up.
Splash!
Yu Luomian landed not far away, with a sour expression, he said, "Forget it, I'm done fighting. Zhao Wuji, you win."
"Hahaha, I appreciate it, I appreciate it, Elder Yu."
Zhao Wuji chuckled heartily, making a fist and palm salute toward Yu Luomian.
Yu Luomian's expression turned even uglier.
Before the two had fought, he could still accept being called Elder Yu with equanimity, but now the title felt piercing to the ear.
It even stung his heart.
With an expressionless face, Yu Luomian turned around and walked away without a word.
...
"Old Master Fu, Zhao Wuji, thank you."
After Yu Luomian left, Liu Erlong's voice came from the wooden house.
Turning around, Flander and Zhao Wuji saw Liu Erlong, dressed in coarse cloth, stepping out of the wooden house.
"Er Long, why wouldn't you meet Elder Yu?" Flander couldn't help asking.
"Old Master Fu, you should see for yourself," said Liu Erlong, passing a letter to Flander, "This is a message that came from the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan a few days ago. I've never replied, so that man came looking today."
Undoubtedly, the man she referred to was her father, Yu Luomian.
"I see."
Flander's face revealed a sudden realization.
Opening the letter, Flander read carefully.
His expression changed dramatically.
"This, this, this..."
His hands trembled as he held the letter, "Er Long, is this for real?"
The letter detailed the recent plight of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan.
Especially what Qin Xiao had done within the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan.
And, ultimately, it expressed the hope that Liu Erlong would share any information she had about Qin Xiao for the sake of her father's face.
"Since he came in person, it naturally can't be fake," Liu Erlong said.
"Old Master Fu, what exactly happened?"
Zhao Wuji, who was growing impatient, couldn't understand the riddling words between Liu Erlong and Flander.
"Old Master Fu, let Zhao Wuji have a look," Liu Erlong suggested.
"Alright."
With Liu Erlong's permission, Flander handed the letter to Zhao Wuji.
Reading the contents of the letter, Zhao Wuji couldn't stay as composed as Flander.
"What!"
"His Majesty the Thunder Emperor attacked the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan, killed the future head, Yu Xiaofeng, killed one of the Twin Stars of the clan, Yu Tianheng, and even drove the current clan leader, a Titled Douluo level powerhouse, to suicide?"
Zhao Wuji's eyes widened in disbelief.
Flander spoke irritably, "Old Zhao, can you not shout about everything? The content on the letter was written by Elder Yu Luomian himself; there's no mistake."
"Uh, doesn't that mean that now the true strength of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan is no longer enough to be among the upper three families?"
Zhao Wuji quickly realized another issue.
"Indeed."
Flander nodded with a complex expression, "The only one that can be called one of the upper three families now is the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect."
Qin Xiao's journey had been visible to them all along.
Since joining Shrek Academy, he had already destroyed the Hao Tian Clan and crippled the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan.
These things, if he had not seen them with his own eyes, he would not have believed them to be true.
"Gurgle."
Zhao Wuji swallowed hard, "Your Highness is so fierce it's inhuman, a veritable destroyer of the upper three families."
"What I don't know is what Your Highness's next target is, to annihilate Martial Soul Hall? To unify the Soul Land?"
Though it sounded far-fetched, Zhao Wuji felt it was not impossible.
After all, in his knowledge, Qin Xiao seldom did anything normal.
"Alright, stop fantasizing,"
Flander waved his hand, "What Your Highness does is not something we can guess."
"Alas."
At this moment, Liu Erlong showed a helpless smile at the corner of her mouth, "Since you know the content of the letter, then you should understand why I don't see my father."
Flander and Zhao Wuji nodded together.
They understood Liu Erlong's intention.
That was to choose Qin Xiao between him and Yu Luomian.
She feared giving the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan more information about Qin Xiao, which might threaten him.
Although the likelihood was low, Liu Erlong simply didn't want to take that chance.
In her heart, she didn't want to see Qin Xiao in danger.
Suddenly Flander said, "Er Long, actually I think if we were to inform the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan of the Thunder Emperor's achievements, they might become more disciplined."
Zhao Wuji also nodded, "I think it could serve as a warning to shake the tiger."
After listening to their words, Liu Erlong fell silent for a moment, then slowly nodded, "Okay, then I will tell them about Qin Xiao's achievements."
Having said that, she hurriedly left.
Without any hesitation.
"Old Zhao, let's talk about what's going on with you?"
After Liu Erlong had gone, Flander walked around Zhao Wuji, examining him and couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder.
"What are you talking about?" Zhao Wuji grinned foolishly.
"Cut the crap, don't play dumb with me,"
Flander said impatiently, "Of course, tell me how you suddenly became a Soul Douluo Level powerhouse."
"Oh, that,"
Zhao Wuji feigned a sudden realization, then added, "My strength improved to such an extent, thanks to His Highness's help."
Qin Xiao again? Flander was stunned for a moment but said nothing, quietly waiting for what came next.
As expected.
Zhao Wuji's modulated voice rang in his ears, "The story begins with this recent outing to help Zhu Zhuqing hunt for Soul Rings...."
Quickly.
Zhao Wuji gave an overview of the events and informed Flander that Dai Mubai had also been killed by Qin Xiao.
"Dai Mubai..."
"Alas."
Flander sighed deeply, "As today reaps what was sown in the past, the lad lived a life drowned in luxury, indulgence and chaos. Zhu Zhuqing seeking vengeance on him was the price paid for his past frivolity. Finding a remote place to live out his life in peace would have been the best choice. Who would have thought, he would embark on a path of vengeance?"
Regarding Dai Mubai's death, his feelings were complicated.
For a moment, he could not articulate whether he felt regret or some other emotion.
"But getting back to it, what does this have to do with your increase in Cultivation Level?" Flander asked Zhao Wuji again.
"Don't rush me, I'm about to tell you,"
Zhao Wuji flashed a grin, "His Highness, seeing how seriously injured I was, bestowed upon me an Immortal Herb that could heal injuries. After taking it, not only did my injuries heal, but my Cultivation Level soared by four levels, reaching level 80. Afterward, he took me to the Aquipeia Forest for Soul Hunting. Oh, you've seen my eighth Soul Ring Skill, right? It's from a Dark Evil Tiger with a Cultivation Level of sixty thousand years. After refining the Soul Ring, my Cultivation Level went up an additional level, reaching level 82."
"What? A Dark Evil Tiger?"
"And it's sixty thousand years old?"
Flander's eyes widened, "According to legend, wouldn't that be able to contend with a hundred-thousand-year soul beast?"
"Exactly, that kind of monstrous soul beast," Zhao Wuji nodded emphatically, "As for the power of the soul skill, you've seen it."
Flander nodded blankly.
He had seen it, for Yu Luomian, despite attacking with all his might, still couldn't break Zhao Wuji's defense. The Evil God Protective Body was nothing short of monstrous!
Moreover, Flander was envious.
If he had known about such good fortune, he would have certainly taken Zhu Zhuqing soul hunting as well.
...
Elsewhere.
After two days of pursuit, Qin Xiao finally found traces left by Meng Yiran in a mountain stream.
It was a flying dagger with a cold, flashing light.
