While Lin Yun and Xiao Xiao were living their blissful life, Myriad Demon King, with Lin Yun's will, began to carry out his mission.
...
"Myriad Demon King, remember, this mission is different from before. The content of the book involves three Ultimate Douluos who are still alive in the current world of soul masters. You must be extremely cautious! You must ensure that the books are spread throughout the entire continent at the first possible moment, and not city by city like before, which makes it too easy to be caught. After all, the opponents are Ultimate Douluos!"
"Furthermore, you must not act in your true form. Just use the clone you have created from a seed. Again, you must not be caught, and if you are, you must never reveal your identity!"
"This is the most important mission!"
...
Recalling the words Lin Yun had said to him alone before leaving the Star Dou Forest, the expression on Myriad Demon King's face gradually became solemn, his will firm and indestructible!
"Your Excellency! Your subordinate will definitely succeed!"
Myriad Demon King raised his head at a forty-five-degree angle, looking at the sky, as if he saw Lin Yun's face with a hint of domineering and arrogant smile among the blue sky and white clouds.
"Seeds, once again… once again, let the will of Your Excellency permeate the entire Douluo Continent!"
You must, succeed!
As Myriad Demon King released the signal, the countless seeds he had derived by overdrawing his soul power transformed into human forms and began to walk through the streets and alleys of every city in the four empires, spreading one book after another.
It was like a swarm of locusts crossing the border!
No, it was even more insane than a locust crossing, like ink poured into a boiling pot, instantly dyeing all the water in the pot black.
A storm… was coming!
On the cover of those books, two young men with similar temperaments, a hint of noble arrogance, and a young woman hidden under a hood, with only a delicate chin and fiery red lips visible, were depicted.
The young woman extended her ten fingers, painted with scarlet nail polish, and countless silk threads wrapped around them, falling from her fingertips and binding the two young men. With the movement of her fingers, she controlled every action of the two young men.
The two young men faced each other with cold arrogance, engaging in a battle of two dragons under the young woman's control!
The four big words on the book cover, written in splashed ink, were—"Phoenix Playing with Two Dragons"!
——Mature dividing line——
The Unofficial History of the Ultimate Douluo, "Phoenix Playing with Two Dragons"!
Synopsis:
Two hundred years ago, the Heaven Dou Empire saw the unprecedented emergence of three peerless geniuses, two men and one woman, who were exceptionally talented and surpassed all others.
Their names were:
Long Xiaoyao—
Ye Xishui—
And… Mu En!
Long Xiaoyao possessed the powerful True Dragon spirit, the Dark Holy Dragon, while Mu En's spirit was the exact opposite of Long Xiaoyao's, awakening the powerful Light Holy Dragon spirit.
Both of them were rare geniuses with innate full soul power. With their equally powerful Dragon spirits and opposite attributes of light and darkness, they fought and pushed each other forward, yet they also cherished each other, recognizing each other as their only rival in this life.
Friendship between men can be simple, and such was the case for Mu En and Long Xiaoyao. In countless battles, their strength grew continuously, breaking through one bottleneck after another and acquiring one powerful soul ring after another.
However, in their battles, Long Xiaoyao lost more than he won and was always overshadowed by Mu En.
This made him very dissatisfied, but also very helpless.
When they reached a suitable age, the two who were both rivals and friends finally went their separate ways. With his peerless talent, Mu En became the leading figure of the contemporary Shrek Academy, while Long Xiaoyao stayed in the Heaven Dou Empire and became the leading figure of a high-level soul master academy.
But there was always a gap between academies, especially when compared to Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent.
In the years they were apart, Long Xiaoyao's growth was decent. At the age of nineteen, he reached level 68 as a Soul Emperor, with a soul ring configuration of two yellow, two purple, and two black.
Due to the vast resources of Shrek Academy, Mu En even reached the Soul Sage level before the age of twenty, with a soul ring configuration of yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, and red.
Yes, a ten-thousand-year fourth ring and a hundred-thousand-year seventh ring.
Mu En's growth far surpassed Long Xiaoyao's. The two who were once evenly matched were now miles apart after a few years of separation.
When they met again, it was at the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition. Mu En, as the captain of the contemporary Shrek Seven Devils, stood on the arena, facing Long Xiaoyao.
His terrifying soul ring configuration made Long Xiaoyao feel suffocated for the first time, and also feel a sense of defeat for the first time. Even though he had never admitted defeat to Mu En before, at this moment, he had already decided in his heart that he had lost.
He… was inferior to Mu En.
Long Xiaoyao might have fallen into decline like this, being left behind by his old rival Mu En in the future until he could no longer see Mu En's back. But at that moment, she appeared.
"Hello, my name is Ye Xishui~" The gentle and serene young woman, with a sweet and warm smile like a spring breeze, stood in front of Mu En and Long Xiaoyao.
She was also the captain of a team from another academy, with a soul power cultivation of level 67, not at all weaker than Long Xiaoyao.
Her strength shocked Mu En and Long Xiaoyao, her beauty enchanted them, and her temperament captivated them.
Everything about her… was so beautiful.
As old rivals who had fought countless times, with just one look, Mu En and Long Xiaoyao knew each other's thoughts. Both of them had fallen for this flawless young woman and wanted to win her heart.
Ye Xishui…
In the end, the competition concluded. Shrek Academy, led by Mu En, won the championship without any surprise. Long Xiaoyao's team lost to Mu En and became the runner-up, and Ye Xishui's team came in third among the top four.
Although the competition was over, the bond between the three was far from over.
After successfully finishing the competition, Mu En and Long Xiaoyao also had free time. Having not seen each other for several years, they missed the days of mutual progress and supervision.
"Mu En, without you all these years, I can no longer find the feeling I had when I was cultivating," Long Xiaoyao said.
He should have fallen into decline under Mu En's pressure, but the appearance of Ye Xishui reignited his fighting spirit.
Yes, he, Long Xiaoyao, was indeed inferior to Mu En. Not only had he lost to him now, but even in the past, he had lost more battles than he had won against Mu En. But so what? Temporary wins and losses don't mean anything. He could lose countless times, but he might not keep losing!
At least this time, he didn't want to lose!
Seeing the flames burning in Long Xiaoyao's eyes, the arrogance in Mu En's heart was also ignited. The silhouettes of two True Dragons, one black and one golden, appeared behind each of them, wantonly releasing their dragon might and roaring at the sky.
"The competition is over anyway, so how about we agree to go on an adventure on the continent?" Mu En's lips curled up, his gentle expression gone, replaced by a domineering and arrogant one.
"Why not?" Long Xiaoyao crossed his arms, confronting Mu En.
It was said to be an adventure, but it was actually a struggle between two men. This was not just a struggle of strength, but also a struggle of emotions.
They… had both fallen in love with that young woman, and love is selfish; it cannot be shared with others. Both of them wanted to possess Ye Xishui's love exclusively.
"An adventure… how about I join you?" A sweet and charming voice suddenly sounded. Ye Xishui's beautiful face wore a naive and romantic smile as she gracefully came to their side.
Not only did Mu En and Long Xiaoyao develop feelings for Ye Xishui, but Ye Xishui was also attracted to these two spirited geniuses.
Love is a two-way street. Now, they had come together, and the sparks of love had ignited between them.
"If Xishui is willing to go on an adventure with us, then I believe this adventure will be full of beautiful memories," Mu En said with a smile.
"Traveling the continent with you is also an experience I've been looking forward to," Long Xiaoyao also said.
And so… the three of them set off together.
