Chapter 584: With me here, what kind of soul beast can hurt you?

The air was filled with a fiery aftermath, and the ground was covered with charred marks, as if it had been destroyed by some powerful force.

He frowned, sensing waves of strong soul power coming from the front, as if two terrifying forces were fiercely confronting each other.

"This is……"

Ning Fengzhi quickened his pace and soon arrived at a completely destroyed area.

The surrounding trees were uprooted, the ground was covered with huge cracks, and the air was filled with the smell of heat waves and scorched earth.

He narrowed his eyes and saw a figure fighting with a huge soul beast in the distance.

It was a huge black beast, covered with hard scales all over its body, with red eyes and emitting a terrifying aura.

Each of its attacks brought with it violent wind pressure, and the ground collapsed continuously under its trample.

The one fighting against it was a female soul master with a sturdy figure.

She was wearing a red long dress, with soul rings flashing around her. She was obviously a powerful Soul Douluo.

However, even she seemed powerless in the face of this giant beast.

"drink!"

The female Soul Douluo let out a delicate cry, and her eighth soul ring lit up. A blazing flame shot up into the sky and slammed into the giant beast.

But the giant beast roared, and a faint light appeared on its scales, which actually shattered the flames directly.

It raised its giant claws and slapped the female Soul Douluo with the power to destroy the world.

At this critical moment, a figure suddenly fell from the sky, so fast that it was almost invisible.

The figure put his arm around the female Soul Fighter's waist, flipped his body in the air, and disappeared with her.

The giant beast's attack missed and hit the ground, causing a terrifying shock wave.

Ning Fengzhi's pupils shrank, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes: "Is this... a spatial ability? Or some kind of teleportation soul skill?"

He sensed carefully and found that the soul power fluctuation of that figure was not particularly strong. It was about the Soul Sect level, and the soul power strength was about level 42.

But that person could actually come and go freely in a Contra-level battle, and could even disappear with others in an instant. This ability really impressed him.

"Is it Lu Yu?"

Ning Fengzhi muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on the direction where the figure disappeared, a hint of curiosity rising in his heart, "To be able to achieve this with the strength of a Soul Sect, this kid is indeed not simple... Rongrong's vision is not bad."

His figure flashed, and the light of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower circulated around him. The whole person was like a stream of light, quickly chasing in the direction where the figure disappeared.

He had already made up his mind that he would get to know Lu Yu's background clearly no matter what and see whether he was worthy of his precious daughter.

The aftermath of the battle deep in the forest still echoed in the air. Ning Fengzhi's figure gradually disappeared into the dark shadows of the trees, leaving behind silence.

Inside the cave, dim light seeped in from the cracks in the rocks, reflecting on the rough stone walls. The air was filled with the smell of damp earth and a faint smell of blood.

Lu Yu gritted his teeth, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and he held Liu Erlong with both arms with great effort. His body, which was overdrawn from his soul power, was almost collapsing.

His wings trembled slightly behind him, and the soul power halo on the edge of the wings had dimmed. Every flap of his wings seemed to drain his last bit of strength.

Finally, he found a hidden cave with rocks as thick as city walls, which was enough to withstand external threats.

He staggered to the ground, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, his body could no longer support him. His eyes went dark, and he fell heavily into Liu Erlong's arms, his consciousness falling into darkness.

Liu Erlong woke up slowly, with a splitting headache and her body felt as if it had been crushed by a huge rock.

She opened her eyes and saw a dark rock wall. The only sound she could hear was the dripping water coming from deep in the cave.

She frowned and looked down. Lu Yu was lying in her arms. The boy's handsome face was as pale as paper, and his breath was weak, but his hands were unconsciously placed on her waist, gently stroking it.

Her heart trembled, and she was furious. She raised her hand to push him away, but she stopped halfway.

"This kid... could it be that he saved me?"

Liu Erlong muttered to herself, her eyes falling on Lu Yu with complicated expressions.

She carefully examined his injuries and found that his body was covered with scars of varying depths, his clothes were soaked in blood, and his soul power was almost exhausted. It was obvious that he had used all his strength to bring her here.

Her heart warmed, and her anger dissipated, replaced by a hint of emotion and confusion.

"A Soul Sect member... can actually fly? And he even saved a Soul Douluo like me?"

She whispered softly, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Liu Erlong carefully placed Lu Yu aside, sat down cross-legged, closed her eyes and recalled everything that happened before she fell into a coma.

She remembered that she was being chased by the giant beast, her soul power was exhausted, and she almost died. It was Lu Yu who suddenly appeared and used a strange flying soul skill to take her out of danger.

She frowned and thought, and a sentence Lu Yu once said came to her mind: "A man like Yu Xiaogang is not worthy of you at all."

These words were like a thorn that pierced her heart and brought back memories of the past.

She and Yu Xiaogang were both from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. They fell in love when they were young, and decades of companionship made her devote all her energy to him.

But as time went by, she gradually discovered that although Yu Xiaogang was talented, he had always stagnated, while she was getting further and further on the road to becoming a soul master.

The gap between the two is as insurmountable as a chasm.

She had given up countless opportunities for him and even suppressed her own talents, just to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

But now, she has reached the peak of Soul Douluo, only one step away from being a Titled Douluo, while Yu Xiaogang... is still the theoretical master who has stopped moving forward.

"Lu Yu is right..."

Liu Erlong murmured to herself, with a hint of relief in her voice, "I wasted too much time on him.

If I had practiced wholeheartedly, I might have reached the divine realm long ago."

She closed her eyes, and the past scenes flashed by like flowing water. Those memories intertwined with sweetness and pain gradually faded away in her heart.

She took a deep breath, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders, and murmured, "Yu Xiaogang, from now on, I, Liu Erlong, will only live for myself."

At this moment, the aura around Liu Erlong suddenly rose, the air in the cave seemed to solidify, and an invisible pressure spread from her.

Her scars healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, her skin glowed with a lustrous luster, and her soul power surged like a river, breaking through the bottleneck that had remained stagnant for many years.

Level ninety-five! She had broken through! The limit of an ordinary Titled Douluo! A terrifying aura swept across the surroundings. The soul beasts outside the cave, sensing this power, crawled to the ground, not daring to approach.

"Rumble--"

In the distance, the ground was shaking violently, accompanied by the rustling sound of withering grass and trees, and a violent breath was approaching the cave.

Liu Erlong suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing like lightning as he said in a deep voice, "This aura... is from that giant beast!"

She stood up, her fiery red hair moving without wind, her eyes boiling with fighting spirit.

Outside the cave, Ning Fengzhi, who was observing secretly, frowned.

He hid in the woods and sensed the changes in Liu Erlong's breath with the auxiliary soul skills of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

"A Titled Douluo breakthrough... Liu Erlong actually advanced at this time?"

He whispered to himself, his tone filled with surprise and solemnity, "But that giant beast is definitely not a good thing. If she meets it right after breaking through, she will probably be in great danger.

The child Lu Yu is still in the cave, if anything unexpected happens..."

Ning Fengzhi clenched the scepter in his hand, hesitating whether to take action.

At the same time, in the cave, a soft light overflowed from Liu Erlong's body and silently flowed into Lu Yu's body.

His injuries healed quickly, his pale face regained its rosy color, and his breathing became much steadier.

Not long after, Lu Yu slowly woke up. The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to look at Liu Erlong and heaved a sigh of relief: "Senior Liu, are you okay?"

Liu Erlong turned around and saw Lu Yu waking up, a smile flashed in her eyes.

She approached, squatted down, and said softly, "Thanks to you, not only am I fine, but I also turned a disaster into a blessing and broke through to level ninety-five."

She paused, looked Lu Yu up and down, and said with a smile: "You kid, you are so young and you dare to save an old woman like me, you are really bold.

Tell me, how did you do that? That flying soul skill is not something a soul master can possess.

Lu Yu scratched his head and smiled shyly: "That is one of my special soul skills. As for how I got it... it's a bit complicated. I'll tell you in detail later."

He paused and asked with concern: "Senior Liu, your injuries have just healed. Has your soul power recovered? Are we safe now?"

Liu Erlong stood up and said proudly, "Safe? Humph, who dares to act rashly in this forest with me here? As for you, you're not very old, but you're quite caring."

Her eyes softened, as if she had made a decision, and she said seriously: "Lu Yu, I am not much older than you, so don't call me senior from now on, call me sister.

You saved my life, you deserve to be called sister."

Lu Yu was stunned, and then a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Recognize Liu Erlong as your "sister"

, which can not only bring them closer together, but also make those who covet him hesitate.

Besides, Liu Erlong is extremely beautiful and has a fiery temperament. Which young man can refuse such a sister? He nodded quickly: "Okay, Sister Liu!"

Liu Erlong nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Originally I wanted to invite you to join Lanba Academy, but unfortunately... now the situation has changed, and I'm afraid I can't make this decision anymore.

However, I acknowledge you as my younger brother. From now on, as long as I am here, I will be the first to not let anyone who dares to touch you go!"

Just as Lu Yu was about to respond, a deafening roar suddenly came from outside the cave. The ground shook violently and dust fell from the top of the cave.

His expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Sister Liu, it's that giant beast! Your injuries have just healed, can you handle it? Or should we retreat first?"

Liu Erlong sneered, her eyes gleaming with fighting spirit. "Retreat? What a joke! I'm at the limit of a Titled Douluo now. If that beast dares to come, it's just a gift to my door!"

She paused, her tone carrying a hint of teasing, “I originally wanted to leave this beast’s soul bone to someone else, but now I’ve changed my mind.

Lu Yu, wait, I'll get you a soul bone!"

After saying that, Liu Erlong's figure flashed and turned into a stream of fiery red light and rushed out of the cave.

Lu Yu stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at her receding figure, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.

His strength was only that of a Soul Sect member, and facing a 94,000-year-old soul beast, he was of no help at all and could only watch Liu Erlong fight the enemy.

At this moment, a deep voice rang out in his mind. It was the remnant soul of the Qilin that resided in his body: "Boy, stop feeling sorry for yourself.

That woman was quite powerful, and this beast was only 94,000 years old, so it wasn't a big threat to her.

If she could remove the soul bone of this soul beast, it would be of great benefit to your future advancement. Unfortunately, you are too weak now and cannot absorb it in such a short time."

Lu Yu clenched his fists, his eyes determined: "One day, I will catch up with Sister Liu!"

He looked up outside the cave and saw that Liu Erlong's figure had disappeared into the depths of the dense forest. Only bursts of roars coming from afar remained, shaking the mountains and forests.

Lu Yu stepped on the moist soil of the Star Dou Forest. The air was filled with the fragrance of grass and trees and the faint smell of blood coming from afar.

He frowned, his eyes swept over the towering ancient trees around him, and from time to time he heard low roars of beasts.

The soul power in his body was circulating, sensing everything around him, but he felt a sense of unease in his heart.

"Teacher Liu, the spirit beast aura in this place is too strong. I feel something is wrong."

Lu Yu said in a low voice, with a hint of caution in his tone.

Liu Erlong, who was standing beside him, was dressed in a fiery red robe and looked very heroic. Upon hearing this, he snorted and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

"Hmph, what are you afraid of? With me here, no soul beast can hurt you."

Liu Erlong patted Lu Yu's shoulder and said proudly, "Although your current soul power level is not high, but with my Fire Dragon Martial Soul protecting you, which soul beast dares to act rashly? But you have to be more careful, kid. Absorbing soul rings is no small matter, especially soul rings with a high age. If you are not careful, the soul power overload can make you explode and die!"

Lu Yu smiled bitterly and nodded, feeling a little helpless.

Of course he knew the dangers of absorbing soul rings.

The rules of Douluo Continent are strict, and soul masters have strict time limits for absorbing soul rings. For example, the first soul ring can only last for a maximum of a thousand years, and the second soul ring can only last for ten thousand years, step by step.

If one forcibly absorbs a high-age spirit ring, the spirit power will run wild, causing serious injuries at best, and even death by explosion at worst.

He is only at the Soul Sect level now. Even with the help of the system, he still feels scared when facing the soul rings of soul beasts that are tens of thousands of years old.

"Teacher Liu, I know.

The soul ring age must be gained step by step, and you will not be able to digest it if you bite off more than you can chew.

But deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, the soul beasts are at least tens of thousands of years old, I always feel..."

Before Lu Yu finished speaking, a deafening roar suddenly came from the distance. The ground trembled slightly, the birds flew away in fright, and the branches and leaves rustled.

Liu Erlong's eyes flashed, and she suddenly looked up in the direction of the voice: "Such a strong soul power fluctuation! Lu Yu, come with me to take a look!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure turned into a fiery red afterimage and flew forward.

Lu Yu did not dare to delay, and activated his soul power to follow closely.

After passing through the dense forest, Lu Yu gasped at the scene before him.

The mountains and forests were in a mess, towering ancient trees were uprooted, the ground was cracked into several bottomless gullies, and the air was filled with the smell of burning.

Liu Erlong stood in the center of the battlefield, with a huge fire dragon shadow roaring behind her, and flames swept across, burning everything around it.

Her opponent was a ferocious giant beast, with a human-like body but only one blood-red eye. It had several tentacles on its head, which stirred up gusts of fishy wind when they were waved.
