Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

— Chapter 313 —

Yunlong woke up with soft snoring, almost like a cat’s purr on his side. He yawned and saw Chu Xiaoyu had returned to normal, sleeping soundlessly.

They are pretty tired after nine hours of intense snu-snu.

Yunlong recovered his stamina quicker or even had an endless amount of it with White Light Grace, though Chu Xiaoyu is not.

He wanted to test something and gently caressed Chu Xiaoyu’s head, giving her the White Light Grace’s blessing. With his 24% divine energy level, noticeable changes happened to her body.

Chu Xiaoyu’s black hair attained a shade of ice blue, releasing natural coldness.

A rush of memories rushed into Yunlong’s mind, causing him to frown for a moment. It ruined his mood because the Sun and Moon Continent actually tried to create Dragon-Human mutants.

Well, they called it Dragonborn’s Project.

Yunlong put this information aside and checked his inventory, searching for a book. After a few seconds of browsing through many items, he finally found it.

[Sea God’s Journal 2nd Part]

“Let’s see…” He opened the journal and found a series of blank pages. His mouth twitched in annoyance.

Yunlong sighed and activated his sharingan, finding black ink resurfaced from each page.

A line upon lines of words started to assemble, revealing another warning for him.

[For my Inheritor, when you obtained this journal from Ice God. I want you to find his Ice God’s Palace and retrieve something for your future Trials.

It’s an item that could help you increase your strength alongside God’s Trials to convert your Spirit Energy into Divine Energy.

There are always more than 1.000 ways to improve your Sea God’s Technique in this journal, correcting my last teaching to you]

“What teaching? You literally transferred the technique into my mind.” Yunlong sneered with an annoyed look on his face.

He flipped through pages and watched multiple advanced moves that could improve the Sea God’s Thirteen Halberds.

Yunlong scanned through the entire journal and secured them inside his spiritual sea.

“Mhh~.” A soft groan resonated on the side.

He closed the journal and threw it inside his inventory, moving his gaze to Chu Xiaoyu.

“Master?” Chu Xiaoyu rubbed her eyes slightly.

“Yes, I’m here,” Yunlong answered with a chuckle.

Chu Xiaoyu opened her eyes slowly and watched her master in a half-naked condition. She recalled everything that occurred between them and blushed like a bright apple.

Her mouth was wide open, remembering her wild actions a few hours ago.

‘Am I that wild?’ She thought to herself.

Yunlong gave her a peck and said, “Don’t overthink it, Xiaoyu.”

“I like your wild side. It’s a gap moe.”

“Gap moe?” Chu Xiaoyu slowly lifted her head in confusion.

“Gap moe is a term used for someone who does something completely different from their usual self,” Yunlong explained truthfully. “Usually, this contradiction is seen by others as charming or likable.”

He pulled Chu Xiaoyu’s tender cheeks and continued, “And as you can see, I like it.”

“I see…” Chu Xiaoyu considered Yunlong’s words and returned to her usual silence.

After a few minutes, she nodded in resolution and kissed Yunlong’s left cheek.

“Gap moe, I like yours too, young master.”

Yunlong chuckled and responded, “Haha, That’s not how it works.”

…

They returned to the cabin magically restored with new wood left and right. There are also new doors now.

Bing Chun was shirtless with an Icy Haze Sword in his hand. The cold weather couldn’t hide sweat from his muscle-filled physique.

“Damn, your grandpa’s age must be a lie,” Yunlong commented casually.

Chu Xiaoyu laughed softly and said, “Mhmm, he’s above 100 already.”

Bing Chun’s ears perked a little when hearing them. He quickly sheathed his martial soul back and glanced at Yunlong with a wary gaze.

Swoosh!

Chu Xiaoyu saw her grandfather checking her condition from top to bottom and asked, “Does he do anything inappropriate to you?”

His wrinkled face frowned even more when she began to blush like a maiden.

“Kiddo…” Bing Chun moved his gaze back to Yunlong.

Yunlong smiled wickedly and teased, “What? I haven’t done anything wrong here.”

A blue sword appeared from thin air and flew to Yunlong’s chest.

Clank!

It bounced back because Yunlong’s chest released crimson and black glows. He used [Aura: Strengthening] on his chest and [Material Reinforcement: EX] onto his clothes.

Bing Chun scowled because Hayate didn’t even summon his martial soul out. “Let’s go a few rounds.” He said while releasing an intense cold.

“Well, challenge accepted.” Yunlong returned the challenge by disappearing from Bing Chun’s gaze. He leaked a sliver of his spirit energy, so Xiaoyu’s grandpa could follow him.

They arrived at the forest filled with crystal-like trees, reflecting their appearances.

Yunlong was amused and decided to pick a random tree branch, strengthening it with his abilities. He watched the slender tree branch turn shiny black with a crimson shade.

“Nice.” He commented while tilting his head.

A sword passed through his head and clashed against the nearest crystal-like tree, destroying it.

Boom!

Yunlong shook his head and said, “Chill, old man.”

“How dare you say that after sullying my granddaughter?!” Bing Chun sounded a little angry.

A “little.” angry was an understatement because Bing Chun’s pale complexion is red now. His veins also popped off.

Bing Chun clenched his grip and waved his icy sword to Yunlong, sending a flying cut to him.

“Ice Age’s Cleave.”

At first glance, Yunlong could see how Bing Chun’s technique was more advanced than Chu Xiaoyu and Chu Yunxi. The flying cut bent in the air and accelerated to him.

He also wanted to test something and quickly entered a spear stance with the ice branch in his hand. In the Sea God’s journal, there is a way to increase the effectiveness of the first stage.

“Unfixed Storm.” Yunlong thrust the branch forward, creating a ripple in the air.

Bing Chun scowled and launched another flying cut at him, but none of them even hit Yunlong.

Unfixed Storm is the most effective single target restraining technique in Sea God’s Thirteen Golden Halberds. It also repelled any projectile through the ripple it created.

Yunlong bounced Bing Chun’s attacks off and rushed toward him with the tree branch.

Clank!

The sword clashed with Yunlong’s tree branch.

Bing Chun launched a kick to Yunlong’s stomach, which he countered with a punch on the guts.

BAM!

Their strength was equal.

“You’re not bad for an old man.” Yunlong felt the pressure on his fist.

“I should have been the one who said that, Kiddo.” Bing Chun’s leg trembled slightly.

Yunlong loosened the grip on the branch and caused Bing Chun’s sword to slip off. As the middle-aged title douluo stumbled forward, a kick came near his wrinkled face.

“Green.” Bing Chun stabbed his sword onto the ground instead and shook everything around them.

Yunlong, whose leg was in the air, was affected by this and lost his balance. He smiled and punched the space between them.

“Space Shattering Strikes.”

Like glass, the space shattered abruptly and pitched a ripple of destruction to Bing Chun’s face. The shockwave swept over the forest.

SWOOSH! BOOM!

Bing Chun was speechless and utilized a defensive technique, getting himself blown a few hundred meters away.

…

Crack!

Bing Chun’s body stopped in another part of the forest, planting his legs deep into the ground. He breathed in and raised his sword, parrying Yunlong’s incoming thrust.

Clank!

Yunlong stomped the ground to shake Bing Chun off and grasped his left arm.

“Ice Age’s Breath.” Bing Chun breathed out and decreased the temperature even more.

“That’s not bad.” Yunlong noticed his movement slowed down for a moment. However, that doesn’t mean he can’t force it down.

His body flared with silver flame suddenly, moving ferociously to Bing Chun.

“3rd Stance, White Tiger’s Barrage.”

Yunlong stepped forward casually and started to throw a series of punches at Bing Chun, raining the middle-aged man with heavy strikes akin to the mountain.

He also mixed Space Shattering Strikes in between, confusing Bing Chun.

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

As expected of the legendary title douluo from the north, Bing Chun is agile with his movement and skilfully dodges Yunlong’s attack.

Well, he was still caught off guard by Yunlong’s random usage of Space Shattering Strikes.

‘This kiddo is cunning.’ Bing Chun thought while waving his sword.

Yunlong threw a right hook with a left jab combo, but the space-shattering strikes unexpectedly were included a second later without any warning.

He changed the combo every time Bing Chun was able to adapt to his attack, eliminating errors from his movement.

Even without Sharingan’s, Yunlong could be considered a master in martial arts. An otaku who learned this kind of technique is rare after all.

Bing Chun’s sword missed a pace, and Yunlong grasped this advantage using Full Contact Karate, the first technique.

“1st Stance: Black Tortoise.” A green light illuminated Yunlong’s fist.

Bing Chun’s eyes widened because of a powerful punch that made contact with his face.

He swore there was still a reasonable distance between them, yet this kiddo seemed to skip through the space and delivered this blow instantly.

“The fuck-!”

BAM! BOOM!

Bing Chun’s head went blank, and his vision became black.

“You’re rusty, old man,” Yunlong commented casually.

“Don’t worry, Xiaoyu and Yunxi are in good hands because I won’t let anything bad happen to them.”

Chu Xiaoyu jumped from tree to tree and approached Yunlong with a weird expression.

“You don’t have to beat him that bad…” She pouted adorably.

Yunlong laughed and answered, “Your grandpa is being stubborn, Xiaoyu.”

“I only gave him a reality check.”

(An: Wake up to reality)

Chu Xiaoyu opened her mouth in awe, speechless.

She doesn’t know how to respond to Yunlong’s statement and decides to be quiet. Well, her mother will give a better explanation to her grandpa later.

Yunlong patted the adorable maid’s head and said, “Let’s return to Sea God Island.”

“We have some visitors.”

…

At the Sea God Island, an explosion occurred left and right.

BOOM! BOOM!

“Come at me, you little witch.” Ma Xiaotao’s hands slowly were engulfed by the crimson Phoenix Flame.

Her eyes focused on Bai Xue, who yawned lazily because her body hadn’t returned to its perfect condition.

Bai Xue flicked her finger, and a fiery witch hat appeared on top of her head. A golden flame floated around her palm.

“Phoenix Break.” Ma Xiaotao released her technique, sending a burst of flame in the shape of a phoenix.

The temperature around them increased dramatically, burning every grass there.

(An: No, Grass-Kun!!)

Bai Xue wasn’t affected a bit because any flame would literally fall short under her Ultimate Fire. It’s an absolute truth any flame user in this world cannot overcome easily.

“Whatever.” She waved her hand signs.

Madara grinned a little when he noticed the jutsu his annoying disciple wanted to use. He doesn’t want to admit it, but Bai Xue is pretty conventional and creative when manipulating her energy.

“What a monster,” Madara commented with a chuckle.

“Well, I’m taking part in it.”

Bai Xue watched the incoming phoenix and inhaled oxygen into her lung.

“Fire Style: Majestic Destroying Flame.”

.

.

Now, some people might be confused.

Let’s return in a few hours.

— 4 hours ago —

“When will he return?” Ma Xiaotao asked while playing with Little Saixi.

After Ma Xiaotao got dragged by Kaguya, she was assigned to play with Little Saixi. Or become a babysitter, in short.

“Hmm, big sister, are you strong?” Little Saixi asked all of a sudden. Her eyes shone with curiosity.

“Um, Maybe? Yeah, I’m strong.” Ma Xiaotao responded wryly.

Little Saixi’s eyes shone even brighter and said, “Then you can fight big sister Bai Xue, right?”

“Eh?”
