How was I supposed to know I’d hit a landmine on this chaotic Soul Net?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two fell into perfect silence, advancing on either side of Na’er, who finally realized sitting in the middle was a catastrophic mistake—with nowhere to escape!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er looked like a silver-white puppy trapped between two jet-black hounds, swallowing hard, turning her head to Zhao Xuanzhen with a pleading gaze:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is definitely my fault—I’m truly sorry for damaging your eyes and ears. Give me a way out, please!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of way out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er raised one finger solemnly: “You buy me a milk tea in Tiandingcheng, and I’ll punish myself with one too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Is this how you apologize?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Full sugar—I’ll fat myself to death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xuanzhen leaned back slightly, his gaze passing over Na’er to rest on Gu Yue’s utterly speechless face. “Help me out—she’s ticklish. I’ll promote you to core disciple early.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the word “core disciple,” Gu Yue’s dark eyes instantly lit up. She rolled up her sleeves, revealing two snow-white arms, and her wicked palm crept toward Na’er’s armpits, her voice cold as judgment:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Repent!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhao Xuanzhen, you betrayed me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er gasped in shock, accusing Zhao Xuanzhen for exposing her weakness, then Gu Yue lunged forward to crush her. Na’er resisted fiercely, their black and silver long hair intertwining, you in me, me in you, like a breathtaking painting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a fierce struggle in the cramped space, Na’er laughed herself limp. Gu Yue won decisively—after all, she was one of the victims, standing on moral high ground while holding Na’er’s weakness. Victory was inevitable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both girls’ cheeks flushed with a charming peach hue, breathing heavy as they smoothed their wrinkled clothes. The noise had been loud, but the mental force barrier had sealed it—no other passengers were disturbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the commotion, the three returned to normal. Zhao Xuanzhen admired the passing scenery, Na’er went back to reading her novel—classic “Dominant Angel Falls in Love With Me”—while Gu Yue quietly browsed hidden records of the Spirit Transmission Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soul-engine train raced through twilight, slicing the sunset glow into shards of golden light. The rhythmic sway of the rails brought drowsiness; Zhao Xuanzhen’s eyelids grew heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The journey was about one-third done, still a considerable distance left. Zhao Xuanzhen rested his forearm on the window edge, propping his head in his palm, planning to nap and restore his fragile mental energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t sleep leaning on the window—it’s uncomfortable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing Zhao Xuanzhen’s posture, Na’er sniffed, her slender white fingers catching a strand of silver hair and brushing it to the side. The dim golden sunlight slanted through her hair, each strand gilded, the waves rippling with a faint, sweet fragrance like gardenia petals dipped in dew and sealed in a sandalwood box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The wound of betrayal never heals, but Queen Na’er is beautiful and kind-hearted—she’ll care for this sickly thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here, borrow my shoulder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er turned Zhao Xuanzhen’s forehead against her shoulder, adjusting her posture to make him as comfortable as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl’s warm, soft body felt like resting against warm incense and jade; with every breath, a light tremor pulsed beneath his forehead, his nostrils filled with the crisp, citrusy scent of a snapped branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t thank me—it’s due later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a daze, Zhao Xuanzhen saw the butterfly shadows cast by Na’er’s lashes, her pearl-white teeth biting her lips, leaving a coral sheen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, Zhao Xuanzhen’s breathing grew slow and deep. Na’er quietly tugged at his slipping clothes, ensuring the fabric cushioned his handsome profile better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing down at his peaceful, tranquil sleep, Na’er’s eyes softened with tenderness—suddenly, she felt an overwhelming surge of maternal affection. She turned to Gu Yue, whose expression was deeply complex, and compressed her mental force into a thread to whisper:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, I like it when Zhao Xuanzhen enters brief weakness—it lets me take care of him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly, a deep bond forged since childhood. From an outsider’s view, Gu Yue understood the intimacy they’d cultivated since youth, her gaze solemn and heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t misunderstand—Gu Yue was never the type to give up easily. Instead, she found stealing Zhao Xuanzhen from Na’er increasingly rewarding. An eagle never fears challenge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soul-engine train sped toward Tiandingcheng. Midway, a train attendant pushed a snack cart through the carriages, selling snacks and drinks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attendant was a young woman, around twenty-four or twenty-five, with delicate features and a well-tailored dark-blue uniform that accentuated her curvaceous figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hi, I’ll take a bottle of water.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A passenger in the front row flagged down the attendant, handing her a fifty-federal-coin note. As the attendant reached for change, Gu Yue, seated at the outermost seat, suddenly frowned. Four black-clad men emerged from the front and back of the carriage, their aura unmistakably locking onto the smiling attendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yue tapped Na’er’s thigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deal with it. Don’t let them disturb Zhao Xuanzhen’s sleep,” Na’er drawled lazily. “Go on—I support you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yue gave her a beautiful eye-roll and turned away, refusing to respond. Three people on a trip always have one fool—and she was the overworked fool!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-clad men caught their signal and surged forward simultaneously. Soul power flared—four Soul Masters: two one-ring, two two-ring!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a coordinated, premeditated attack—targeting the seemingly ordinary train attendant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four crystalline ice spikes erupted, their chill bone-deep. The two two-ring Soul Masters reacted instantly, releasing soul skills to resist. The one-ring ones had no time to react—the ice spikes pierced both their feet instantly, screams echoing through the entire carriage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden attack triggered panic among passengers—shouts rose in waves!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attendant, Mo Lan, sprang to her feet, gripping a soul-tool ray gun, shouting loudly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s a Soul Master in this carriage...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the two-ring Soul Masters glared coldly at Gu Yue. The girl radiated soul power—but her strength was low, only level twenty-one. Both he and his partner were level twenty-five Great Soul Masters. Two against one—taking her was no problem!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deciding to drop the act, he declared openly: “Mo Lan, we’ve been watching you for a long time. Tell your father to release the group we captured in Tiandingcheng three months ago!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Or you and everyone on this train will die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Lan gripped her soul-tool ray gun tightly. Her father was Mo Wu, governor of Tiandingcheng and a Federal Councilor—a powerful ordinary man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the daughter of an ordinary man, Mo Lan had never awakened any innate soul power; she chose neither the life of a pampered noblewoman nor using her father’s influence to enter business or politics, but instead resolutely chose the grassroots, becoming a humble train attendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her choice to blend with the masses was noble—but Mo Lan had ignored her bond with her father. As a train attendant, she was vulnerable. Once her identity was uncovered, the ruthless criminals targeted her as a lever against Mo Wu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My father arrested evil Soul Masters. Releasing them would bring endless disasters!” Mo Lan thought inwardly. “But these passengers... they’re innocent...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their willingness to attack proved they weren’t afraid of train security. Calling for mech squad support would take time. With hundreds of lives at stake, the mech squad couldn’t storm the carriage. Mo Lan was trapped between impossible choices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, someone made the decision for her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yue!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell are you babbling about? Eat my elemental combo technique!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her first soul ring ignited. Indigo wind element fused with crimson fire element, coalescing into clusters of crimson-and-indigo fireballs. Wind fueled the fire, fire rode the wind—the combination was greater than the sum of its parts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Silver Dragon King’s inherited elemental mastery needed no explanation. The fireballs exploded against the evil Soul Masters, searing their skin black. Then hidden wind blades howled forth, slicing through the charred shells, tearing their bodies apart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this attack, Gu Yue thoughtfully erected two earthen walls to shield children from the fire’s afterglow and the bloody scene!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four evil Soul Masters collapsed, drenched in blood. The only one with a body-enhancing martial soul barely clung to life, trembling as he fumbled for his chest communicator: “Team Two, Team Three—Mo Lan is in Car Seven! Send reinforcements!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Received! Received!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, we’ve got six...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Team Two replied promptly. Team Three’s voice cut off mid-sentence, leaving only static.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Lan displayed extraordinary psychological resilience. She pulled out her communicator and spoke calmly: “Report to the train captain: at least three evil Soul Masters onboard. One group in Car Seven has been eliminated. Two remaining groups are approaching Car Seven!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone, activate the emergency weapon locker, arm yourselves, and assist. Stay calm—don’t alarm the passengers!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Mo Lan bowed deeply to Gu Yue: “Soul Master, thank you for your help!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yue nodded indifferently, standing tall in the center of the carriage, waiting silently for the next wave of evil Soul Masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brothers, kill her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than a minute later, two evil Soul Masters charged in—both two-ring Great Soul Masters. The moment they appeared, Gu Yue, Mo Lan, and even Na’er’s temples twitched. In their hands were high-explosive soul-tool incendiary bombs—already armed and timed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bomb-type soul-tools were terrifying. Even the level-nine fixed soul-cannon shells remained the military’s ultimate weapon. Those three bombs, representing the pinnacle of an era’s technology, were the ultimate authority!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m done!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er’s fury boiled. She’d finally enjoyed a peaceful moment—how could fate be so cruel?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She steadied Zhao Xuanzhen, then lunged at the evil Soul Masters. Her pupils contracted; silver radiance spilled from her eye corners like starlight. Fine cracks appeared in midair—space itself shattered under invisible force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the evil Soul Master’s bone blade descended, his eyes—embedded with crimson ghostfire—froze. Na’er’s gaze shot a beam: countless spiraling silver threads, carving spiderweb-like rifts in space. The fissures devoured light, turning the evil Soul Master’s terrified expression into a twisted black-and-white silent film.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Extra-skeletal soul bone: Evil Eye—Shatter-Space Light!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Evil Eye Tyrant was a bloodline descendant of the Evil Emperor, a noble pure-spirit soul beast. When its cultivation broke past a thousand years, its bloodline regressed, unlocking spatial power. The Evil Eye soul bone inherited this spatial force, fused with Na’er’s own spiritual and spatial attributes, birthing this Shatter-Space Light!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spatial and spiritual attributes were notoriously hard to defend against. And since evil Soul Masters cultivated by devouring life, their minds were usually chaotic. Shatter-Space Light struck instantly—two heads exploded into crimson blossoms!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Na’er’s move, Gu Yue teleported to the corpses. Silver light flashed—the two girls jointly used spatial power to teleport the high-explosive incendiary bombs far above the train. The explosion roared violently!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bomb threat neutralized, the two girls instinctively glanced at each other—then turned away in perfect unison. Gu Yue grumbled: “Meddling again. I could’ve handled it alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er sneered: “What if you messed up? Would we both blow up with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could cooperate in battle, but they’d never miss a chance to argue. Without an external enemy, the two Silver Dragon King halves saw each other as sworn rivals!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it... how dare you ruin my plan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A furious voice echoed through the carriage. A passenger in the same row suddenly rose, his body swelling as two yellow and one purple soul rings rose beneath his feet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three-ring evil Soul Elder—Martial Soul: Skull!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Skull Soul Elder was the mastermind. Three months ago, Tiandingcheng arrested a group of evil Soul Masters—including his own brother. Today’s attack aimed to use Mo Lan to pressure Mo Wu into releasing him. Who knew two girls would ruin everything?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Third Soul Skill: Death Claw!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Skull Soul Elder’s hands turned to bone, radiating terrifying death energy. Hidden among the passengers, he’d witnessed Na’er and Gu Yue’s overwhelming power. Even with an extra soul ring, he had no confidence in defeating them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this Death Claw wasn’t aimed at them—or even at the easily controlled Mo Lan. The Skull Soul Elder chose to strike where they’d protect most: Zhao Xuanzhen, pale-faced, still sleeping on Na’er’s shoulder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combat is secondary; psychological warfare is primary. First, seize the one they protect and value—that’s the smart villain boss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh no...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er and Gu Yue inhaled sharply, their faces filled with profound respect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evil Soul Master—you’re a real one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Death Claw reached for Zhao Xuanzhen; the Skeleton Soul Elder’s lips curled into a grotesque grin—until, in the next instant, he saw a pair of pitch-black pupils, as if holding an infinite starry sky, their depth piercing straight into the soul, sucking at its very essence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a roar like a dragon’s cry, Zhao Xuanzhen spread his fingers, and ten claw shadows wreathed in dark-gold light shot through the air!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The left and right palm bones of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear bore the soul skill: Dark Gold Terrorclaw!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chest armor of the Skeleton Soul Elder, forged from over a hundred human spines, shattered—the Dark Gold Terrorclaw pierced through the bone armor, and deep purple bone marrow gushed from ten puncture wounds; the shriek of torn air only now echoed belatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind pressure from Zhao Xuanzhen’s retracting palm whipped the Skeleton Soul Elder’s robes; the latter slowly lowered his head, his soul power flickering, revealing a glowing hole through his chest, where remnants of dark-gold sharpness ravaged the bone patterns with wild fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evil soul power seeped from the bone seams, attempting to repair itself—but upon touching the residual force of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw, it emitted a piercing wail like a crying infant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A train encountering evil soul masters? That’s not my character arc…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xuanzhen flicked off the bone marrow dripping from his fingertips and murmured softly as he watched the Skeleton Soul Elder collapse to his knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a few days ago, even if I were confined to a wheelchair or bedridden, I could still crush an evil Soul Elder with one hand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Zhao Xuanzhen’s fixed understanding, an evil Soul Elder was trash; an evil Soul King was worth paying attention to—the brutal lessons of Season 2 of the Douluo Championship were still fresh in his mind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Lan ran up, bowing repeatedly in gratitude: “Thank you three Soul Masters for ridding the people of this menace—without you, this incident could have spiraled out of control!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was nothing,” Xiang Naer smiled sweetly. “There’s another batch of evil soul masters—we’ll just take care of them too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You needn’t lift a finger,” Mo Lan replied gratefully. “We just received word—Hun Emperor Wu Changkong and Soul Master Tang Wulin have already eliminated the attackers on the other side.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xuanzhen raised an eyebrow. Who? The Train Killers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Wulin, you’ve screwed us over!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2486,"2026-06-20T10:43:43.510Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","67f161d565d43bca5c02b4a0b2d417c586f09382fcadc10511025d623681a6ea","douluo-the-dragon-king-s-taiji-xuanzhen-chapter-28","douluo-the-dragon-king-s-taiji-xuanzhen-chapter-26",92,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdouluo-the-dragon-king-s-taiji-xuanzhen-cover.jpg"]
