Chapter 84 The Fire Dragon Descends.
"Now, everyone, stay put and cultivate! Half an hour later, we will conduct a practical combat exercise. Anyone who dares to slack off will have to stand and practice by the volcano!"
"Yes, Dean!"
The students responded in unison, their faces filled with excitement and trepidation. They sat cross-legged, seizing the time to absorb the remaining fire elemental soul power in the air.
The sea of fire on the training ground gradually subsided, but the intense heat and murderous atmosphere were several times stronger than before.
Meanwhile, in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's mansion, the atmosphere in the council hall was unusually complex.
The clan's Grand Elder, Yu Luomian, Liu Erlong's father, sat upright in the main seat, his white beard moving without wind, his eyes flashing with excitement and satisfaction.
On the council table in front of him, the tea in the cup trembled slightly due to the surging soul power within him.
"Good! Good! As expected of my daughter, Yu Luomian!"
Yu Luomian slammed his hand on the table, and several cracks instantly appeared on the solid wood table.
"Reaching level 77 from 72, and gaining another four hundred years to her Soul Ring's age—such an opportunity is truly blessed by the heavens!"
Several family elders sitting below echoed, their faces beaming with joy.
Second Elder Yu Mingmian stroked his beard and smiled, "Elder, while Erlong's temperament is a bit fiery, her talent is indeed top-notch."
"Now, thanks to the blessing of the rankings, her strength has skyrocketed to level 77, a Soul Saint. Looking across the entire continent's middle generation, I'm afraid no one can match her!"
"With her here, the prestige of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will surely rise to even greater heights!"
Third Elder Yu Fengmian nodded, "Indeed!"
"More importantly, Martial Soul City is ambitious and expanding in all directions. Now that Liu Erlong's strength has greatly increased, she can become a solid bulwark for the family!"
Fourth Elder Yu Leimian added, his tone tinged with seriousness.
"The Spirit City has tested our family's bottom line many times before. Now that we have Erlong as a trump card, they will probably have to be more cautious."
Yu Luomian's smile gradually faded, and his eyes became deep: "You are all right, but we cannot let our guard down." He paused, then continued.
"You all know Erlong's personality; she's straightforward, outspoken, and hates evil. Now that her strength has increased so much, she's likely to act impulsively even more."
"Wuhun City is treacherous and cunning. The Star Luo Empire has just risen to power, and the Heaven Dou Empire is also secretly plotting. A slight misstep could bring annihilation upon our family."
"Moreover, the appearance of this ranking list is too strange. The ability to arbitrarily increase soul power and amplify soul rings suggests unfathomable power behind it. Erlong's gaining such a great advantage may not be a good thing."
"The taller the tree, the more the wind blows. She has now become the focus of attention for various forces across the continent. Those who covet our family will definitely target her."
The Second Elder frowned slightly: "The First Elder is absolutely right. So how should we deal with this? Should we send someone to Blue Tyrant Academy to have Erlong temper her temper?"
"No."
Yu Luomian waved his hand. "Erlong's achievements today are partly due to her fiery temper. Forcing her to restrain herself will only affect her cultivation."
A calculating glint flashed in his eyes. "What we can do is protect her."
"Pass on my order to dispatch three Soul Douluo elders to Blue Tyrant Academy immediately to oversee Erlong's safety and restrain her behavior, preventing her from impulsively provoking forces she shouldn't."
"Furthermore, closely monitor the movements of Spirit City, Star Luo Empire, and Heaven Dou Empire. Report immediately if any unusual activity is detected targeting Erlong or our family."
"Yes, Elder!"
Several elders bowed in unison, accepting the order, and turned to leave.
Yu Luomian gazed out the window towards the Blue Tyrant Academy, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
"Daughter, I hope you can understand your father's good intentions, and not let this opportunity turn into disaster."
At this moment, at the Blue Tyrant Academy, three elders dressed in the attire of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family quietly descended. Their soul power was restrained, yet they faintly exuded the pressure of a Soul Douluo level, seamlessly blending into the academy's guard.
Liu Erlong was not oblivious to this. She sensed the familiar fluctuations of her family's soul power, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips.
She knew that her father still couldn't let her go.
But she didn't point it out, instead turning and entering her cultivation chamber.
Now that she had just broken through to level 77, her soul rings had also been greatly amplified, and she needed to quickly familiarize herself with this surge of power and completely master it.
Inside the secret chamber, the fire element was so dense it was almost tangible. Liu Erlong sat cross-legged, releasing her Fire Dragon Martial Soul once more.
Six crimson, translucent soul rings slowly rotated beneath her feet, and scorching soul power surged and flowed within her body, constantly cleansing her meridians and solidifying her realm. Meanwhile, the reactions from various forces across the continent were far more intense than when Zhu Zhuyun had appeared on the list.
Inside the Papal Palace in Martial Soul City, Bibi Dong's face was extremely grim, her scarlet eyes blazing with killing intent that was almost tangible. The gem at the top of the Papal Scepter hummed under her weight.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan… Liu Erlong…" Bibi Dong uttered each word slowly and deliberately, her voice icy and chilling.
"Another variable! A level 77 Soul Saint, a mutated Fire Dragon Martial Soul, and her soul rings have been amplified for four hundred years. If this woman grows up, she will become the biggest obstacle to Martial Soul City's unification of the continent!"
Ghost Douluo, Ghostly Phantom, was surrounded by rolling shadows, his voice tinged with sinister intent.
"Your Holiness, Liu Erlong has a fiery temper and many enemies. Now that her strength has increased, she will inevitably become even more arrogant."
"Perhaps we can use someone else to do our dirty work, inciting those forces that have grudges against her to deal with Liu Erlong, and then we can reap the benefits." Ju Douluo Yue Guan, who had just broken through to level 96, was brimming with confidence. He stepped forward and said, "Your Holiness, I think it's unnecessary to go through such trouble."
"Although Liu Erlong is strong, she is ultimately only a level 77 Soul Saint. I am now a level 96 Title Douluo. I can kill her myself and eliminate any future troubles!"
"No!"
Bibi Dong sternly rejected the idea. "You have only recently broken through, and your soul power is not yet fully stable. Moreover, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has a deep foundation and must have a Title Douluo in charge."
"If you make a move and get entangled with them, and the Heaven Dou Empire or the Star Luo Empire takes the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, the consequences will be unimaginable."
She paused, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes.
"What Liu Erlong cares about most is Blue Tyrant Academy and its students, as well as her good-for-nothing cousin, Yu Xiaogang. We can start from these two points."
"Pass on my order: have the spies lurking near Blue Tyrant Academy secretly plan an 'accident' to destroy the academy's cultivation resources, then spread rumors that it was done by the Star Luo Empire or the Heaven Dou Empire, provoking Liu Erlong to launch a preemptive strike."
