Douluo Continent: The Real World

"Sister, I heard from you that when you obtained your seventh soul ring, you were chased by a flaming python, right?"

Yu Tianyan whispered this sentence, which brought back her memories. When she had just broken through level 70, she came to the Sunset Forest with two teachers, full of excitement. Unexpectedly, she encountered a 40,000-year-old fire snake soul beast that defeated them and forced them to flee. It chased them out of the Sunset Forest alive. Later, she went to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain her seventh soul ring.

Logically speaking, the quality of soul beasts in the Sunset Forest couldn't compare to those in the Star Dou Great Forest. She had chosen the Sunset Forest for safety reasons, considering her lack of strength. Yet, unexpectedly, she got into trouble and almost died there.

"Xiaoyan, for the experiment, we can just find a soul beast. There's no need to seek death. I won't hide it from you; I'm not sure I can fight that fire snake now. It must have cultivated for 40,000 years," Liu Erlong said with a palpitating heart.

"Hey, it's okay, sister," Yu Tianyan smiled calmly.

"Sister, which one do you think is scarier, my strange fire or that fire snake?"

Hearing this, Liu Erlong lowered her head in thought. Just then, she realized that Yu Tianyan was holding her hand.

She involuntarily pulled back, feeling a soft regret as she let go.

Yu Tianyan's question had really touched her heart. Compared to that terrifying flame, the 40,000-year-old fire snake was nothing.

Liu Erlong believed that no matter how powerful a soul master was, even a Titled Douluo, once Xiaoyan's flames entered their body, there would only be one way out—death.

If Yu Tianyan hadn't controlled the flames, they would have burned everything. Even if he used his soul power to resist, he would have died once his soul power was burned out.

"Sister, I only need one chance, a chance to inject the strange fire into you. If I succeed, I can not only gain an excellent soul bone but also help you get revenge. Why not do it?" Yu Tianyan whispered tempting her.

But Liu Erlong, or rather her affection for him, made her see through his plan.

"No, Xiaoyan, once I fight that fire snake, I won't be able to protect you. This is too dangerous. Let's find another soul beast," Liu Erlong said.

The fight between soul masters and soul beasts was extremely dangerous, and soul beasts that had practiced for ten thousand years and gained wisdom might attack Yu Tianyan first. Liu Erlong simply couldn't take that risk.

Yu Tianyan pondered for a moment. There really was no way to convince Liu Erlong to join him in this adventure, so there was only one solution.

"Sister, take me back to the academy first."

"It's still early, Xiaoyan. It's not too late to take the test before going back." Liu Erlong was puzzled.

Yu Tianyan shook her head helplessly. "If you want to take the test, wait until we return to the academy. Sister, you can go take the test alone."

This confused her further. Her little brother always spoke unclequently.

"How can I take the test? The fire in my body can't be released at all."

The heart fire in Liu Erlong's body was now essentially merged with Yu Tianyan's, under her control. But it couldn't be used; it could only serve as tempering.

Yu Tianyan didn't hide it any longer. "There's another way. I'll separate a wisp of fire, and you can throw it into the snake's body to burn it to death."

"Zihuo? Does it have any effect on you?" Liu Erlong asked.

It was the first time she heard that it was possible to decompose the fire.

"It should be weak for a few days, but it's not a big problem," Yu Tianyan replied.

Liu Erlong was excited after hearing this and slapped him on the forehead.

"Why didn't you tell me this method earlier?"

Yu Tianyan winced, feeling speechless. Unless there were special circumstances, he too wanted to see the strength of soul beasts over ten thousand years old.

"Let's go, let's go back now or find a soul beast to experiment with before returning." Liu Erlong was still eager to test it. After all, this kind of thing was too unbelievable. Yu Tianyan was helpless. There were no powerful soul beasts outside the Sunset Forest. The soul bones that exploded were only about a thousand years old at most. To someone who had seen Douluo Continent in his previous life, it was truly not very attractive. However, seeing Liu Erlong's excited expression, he nodded.

"Okay, sister."

The excited Liu Erlong grabbed Yu Tianyan and ran off.

He casually caught a 600-year-old blood-piercing porcupine. After seeing Yu Tianyan inject the Fallen Heart Flame into it, he witnessed the porcupine actually evolve—its fangs became longer, and its spikes sharper. After losing its life, Liu Erlong swung her hand and found a calf-shaped soul bone that shone with black light.

At this moment, Liu Erlong's heart was ignited again, and an indescribable excitement surged in her heart.

Excitedly, she caught another soul beast and asked Yu Tianyan to set the fire.

It is worth mentioning that although Liu Erlong was excited, she did a good job of keeping it secret.

After obtaining the soul bone, the soul beast's corpse was directly destroyed using soul skills. Yu Tianyan hunted and killed three more soul beasts before Liu Erlong's excitement finally calmed.

It was already evening when they returned to Lanba Academy.

Upon their return to Tiandou City, Yu Tianyan also went to the Spirit Hall to register for the title of Spirit Master and received a gold soul coin.

Facing Liu Erlong's disdainful gaze, he said, "Who would complain about having too much money? Is there a problem with the Chinese people's love of saving money?" No problem!

Inside Lanba Academy, after the two had dinner, Liu Erlong took out five soul bones, placed them into a bracelet-like soul guide, and handed it to Yu Tianyan.

"Xiaoyan, this is for you. Congratulations on becoming a true soul master."

"Thank you, sis."

Yu Tianyan didn't bother with any politeness and accepted it with a smile. There was no need for such formalities between them.

Wearing the exquisite bracelet, Yu Tianyan noticed that its size could be adjusted to fit both children and adults. Inside, it had about 30 cubic meters of storage space. It was a priceless treasure, even in an auction house. Five soul bones gleamed inside. In addition to the soul bones, there were also about 100 gold soul coins, some books, and spare clothes.

Yu Tianyan guessed that Liu Erlong had already prepared this gift.

He felt warmth in his heart. It was truly nice to have someone care for him.

"You've been tired all day. Go to bed early," Liu Erlong said, gently touching Yu Tianyan's head.

Yu Tianyan nodded. She had been looking up information all night and was already sleepy. "Well, good night, sister."

The next morning, Liu Erlong called Yu Tianyan early.

"Sister, I'll split the fire now. Please help me protect the law."

After Yu Tianyan spoke, he sat cross-legged on the ground, and the strange fire in his body surged out.

Liu Erlong instinctively took a few steps back and suddenly thought of a question: How would she contain the fire? This thing was extremely dangerous. Wouldn't it burn her to death?

However, Yu Tianyan had already started separating the fire. Now was definitely not the time to disturb him, so Liu Erlong didn't ask.

It wasn't too difficult to split the strange fire. The challenge was that Yu Tianyan's current soul power was insufficient. Even though he had traveled through time and space, living two lives, it wasn't enough. He could only forcibly mobilize his mental power to complete the separation.

The transparent flame gradually condensed in front of him, evolving from a flame to a fireball, and then into a tiny fire snake. Under the urging of Yu Tianyan's soul power, it gradually took on color.
