On ordinary days, some young students would still listen to tales of millennia of glory—but now, with the third-year challenge looming, the first-years’ minds were already racing toward that great battle, their ears half-deaf to Wu Changkong’s teachings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a blunt and brutal selection match, three victors emerged fresh: the first was Youming Wusiduo, a dual-martial-soul cultivator with Soul Ancestor cultivation base and her self-integrated soul skill, Youming Baihu, who represented first-year in battle—every soul accepted her without reservation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second was Anxiong Yang Nianxia—this one was truly unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, the strongest fighter below the Five Heavenly Kings seemed to be the immortal Xu Yucheng, the sole remaining four-ring Soul Ancestor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Dark Demon Scythe Soul Master’s frail physique gave Xu Yucheng a natural fatal weakness; though Yang Nianxia looked as dull and bearlike as a simpleton, he fought with ruthless cunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on the thick, tough hide of his Dark Golden Bear, Yang Nianxia endured the Dark Demon Scythe’s assaults and closed in for hand-to-hand combat with Xu Yucheng, finally ending the match with a single blow of the Terrifying Demon Dark Golden Fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final support soul master was Xu Li Zhi, who became an inner-campus pre-selected disciple at age ten—this little fatty clearly had two tricks up his sleeve; no one in first-year support could match him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xuanzhen, Gu Yue, Ye Xinglan, Tang Wulin, Wu Siduo, Yang Nianxia, Xu Li Zhi—the seven-member first-year team to face the third-years was now confirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a remarkably well-rounded team, possessing full coverage of control, speed, defense, and support; first-year students eagerly anticipated their fierce clash with the third-years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding ling ling—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the dismissal bell rang, Wu Changkong, true to his never-late policy, instantly shut off the soul-tool screen and turned his gaze to the four class committee members, saying coolly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dismissed. Zhao Xuanzhen, come with me to the office for materials. Gu Yue and Ye Xinglan, go to the third-floor information classroom to find Teacher Shen. Tang Wulin, visit the academy’s blacksmith association—Flender the Blazing Dragon Douluo has something for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xuanzhen and the other three split into three groups and departed; Wu Siduo and the others’ eyes flickered with disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third-years were the outer-campus’s strongest overall; Wu Siduo and Yang Nianxia had planned to meet the four class committee members after class to discuss tactics and run a live drill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Li Zhi, however, had more complex thoughts—he could finally strike up a few conversations with Ye Xinglan if they all discussed tactics together…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are we gonna do, Sister Duo? I heard the third-years have not just one, but multiple One-Character Battle Armor users.” Yang Nianxia said heavily, “A One-Character Battle Armor user at Soul King level—if their armor fusion is high enough, their combat power rivals that of a seven-ring Soul Sage, not to mention how many others have One-Character Battle Armor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, our seven of us: the class leader fused one Two-Character Battle Armor; Gu Yue and Ye Xinglan’s number of One-Character Battle Armors is unknown—but no matter how you calculate it, we clearly aren’t a match for the third-years…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you scared?” Wu Siduo said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Scared of what? Worst case, I get a beating.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Nianxia shrugged: “I’m just thinking about winning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For me, even if I’m just a sidekick to the class leader, winning against the third-years still likely lands me on the Young Genius List—and draws Shrek Academy’s attention, earning me contribution points and priority in cultivation resources.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sidekick?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoyan, passing by, caught the keyword and felt mocked—her lips immediately pouted high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t waste energy overthinking.” Wu Siduo cut in sharply. “The strong hold absolute authority. When the time comes, just follow Zhao Xuanzhen’s orders—do whatever he says, blindly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Nianxia froze for a second, stunned that Wu Siduo’s admiration for strength ran this deep; he sighed, rubbed his nose, and turned to leave the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hua—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fragrant breeze swept in as a silver-haired, silver-eyed girl stood gracefully at the doorway of the first-year classroom, her features flawless, her radiance too brilliant for sunlight to dim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the sight of the silver-haired girl, Yang Nianxia felt his eyes dazzled—she was a spirit of heaven and earth, like a fairy descending to mortal realms; compared to her, all else in the world paled into obscurity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped back three paces, instinctively clearing a path; the silver-haired girl entered the first-year classroom and instantly became the center of all attention—eyes wide, regardless of gender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wa—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst a chorus of awed gasps, the girl was ethereally beautiful—simply standing there in a plain white dress, she seemed the very center of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This year’s first-year class was widely known for its abundance of beauties—Ye Xinglan, Wu Siduo, Xu Xiaoyan, Zheng Yiran… each girl possessed her own unique charm, yet all still fell noticeably short of the silver-haired girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only one in first-year Class One who could rival her was Gu Yue—the Black-and-White Twin Beauties were evenly matched in appearance, but Gu Yue’s aura was quiet and icy, always avoiding outsiders; the silver-haired girl, by contrast, was lively and cheerful—this type of girl was undeniably more popular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Nianxia forced himself back to his senses and spoke as gently as he could: “Hello, beautiful, I’m Yang Nianxia…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he finished, his tall frame was kicked aside like a ragdoll. Xu Yucheng appeared like a ghost, secretly delighted to have avenged yesterday’s punch to the face, then adopted a dreamy, idol-like tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beautiful lady, I’m Xu Yucheng—how may I serve you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m looking for Zhao Xuanzhen. Where is he?” the silver-haired girl smiled lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Y-You’re looking for the class leader!?” Xu Yucheng shuddered. “The class leader went with Teacher Wu to the office for materials—he should be back soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“May I ask, are you the class leader’s sister?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yucheng’s eyes pleaded—please, please be his sister!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xuanzhen was the classic case of deceptive appearance—looked like a kind gentleman, but turned into a merciless executioner the moment he moved. The moment he frowned, every student in first-year Class One fell silent as mice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the silver-haired girl was Zhao Xuanzhen’s lover, and they’d had some misunderstanding, Xu Yucheng’s fragile frame had no fate but to be devoured alive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister? No, I’m not.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver-haired girl grinned mischievously—Xu Yucheng’s heart pounded into his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m his child bride.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Crack!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yucheng, shattered!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro, thanks for saving my life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Nianxia patted Xu Yucheng’s shoulder; his earlier romantic fantasies vanished completely—he now wore a polite, formulaic smile and kept a safe distance, the very picture of a proper gentleman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Zheng Yiran paused her playing with her emerald-green nails, fuming: “There are still child brides in this day and age?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss, are you here to break off the engagement—or to demand justice publicly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Neither…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er’s eyes darted, a mist of tears slowly rising as she whimpered: “Zhao Xuanzhen promised to marry me, but he left without a word and entered Shrek Academy, leaving me alone back home herding cattle!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yiran nearly snapped her precious nails; Yang Nianxia stared in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such a beautiful girl—and the class leader just abandoned her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This monster must be exterminated!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First-year Class One erupted in outrage, verbally condemning the tyrant Zhao Xuanzhen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You fools, haven’t you recognized her yet? She’s Silver Dragon Na’er, second on the Young Genius List.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Guixing suddenly spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Silver Dragon Na’er—the class leader’s teammate from the Tianhai Alliance competition?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Luo Guixing’s hint, the class erupted—soul masters developed far faster than ordinary people; over three years, Na’er had grown from the shy girl in the video into a graceful young woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Twenty-second on the Young Genius List, I’m Luo Guixing.” Luo Guixing stood and introduced himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er merely said “Oh,” clearly not recognizing Luo Guixing—she only ever paid attention to whether she and Zhao Xuanzhen ranked in the top two, occasionally glancing at Gu Yue; the rest were just crawling insects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I remember after that battle, Shrek Academy invited you as an exchange student—why didn’t you come to first-year with the class leader?” Luo Guixing probed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because the old fossils in the Sea God Pavilion opposed us having a romantic relationship.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Guixing, Yang Nianxia, Xu Yucheng—all stared in stunned silence. The venerable elders of the Sea God Pavilion had just been called “old fossils” by Na’er—and “romantic relationship”—was that really what they meant?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First-year Class One sweated bullets, fearing Zhao Xuanzhen would return and silence them all. Only Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie smirked—they guessed Na’er was just bored waiting for Zhao Xuanzhen and teasing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er, seeing the frozen first-years, smiled sweetly: “Lately Zhao Xuanzhen hasn’t been talking much when he goes home—I think he’s hiding a romance. I came for a surprise inspection.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s why you’re so young and can’t even stand up straight—you’ve been carrying the blame all day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clear, laughter-filled voice came from the doorway; Na’er spun around to see a figure leaning against the frame, watching her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunlight streamed from behind him, illuminating his handsome features, tall, straight figure—like a living painting, his dark eyes deep as frozen pools, his lips curved in a gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caught red-handed, Na’er felt no embarrassment whatsoever—she bounced over like a little white rabbit and asked: “Are you alone? Where are Gu Yue and Xinglan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re helping Teacher Shen organize materials—they’ll be busy until dinner.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yay! (σ≧≦)σ”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er cheered, grabbing Zhao Xuanzhen’s arm and dragging him toward the door, shouting: “Hurry, hurry, let’s go play for the whole afternoon—just us two!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t rush, wait a moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xuanzhen gently patted Na’er’s hand, pulled a stack of materials from his storage soul-tool, and shoved them into Xu Yucheng’s trembling arms, smiling warmly: “Xu Yucheng, please distribute these theory class materials—one copy each.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, class leader…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yucheng trembled, face etched with sorrow, convinced this was his last meal before execution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go—go play.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the envious stares of first-year Class One, Na’er linked arms with Zhao Xuanzhen, and the two left Shrek Academy together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire city glittered; the skyline vanished into clouds, towering buildings resembling woven cages, traffic surging into a long, winding dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er leaned half her body against Zhao Xuanzhen, her feet expertly leaping over a manhole cover like a nimble kangaroo, savoring the wind, the sunlight, and the changing scents of the city through spring and autumn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they’d started school apart, they hadn’t gone out alone for a long time. Rekindling this old dream, the curve of Na’er’s red lips was breathtaking—this time, she’d finally stolen away!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xuanzhen was equally delighted—cultivation required balance of work and rest; this afternoon belonged to Na’er. He asked casually:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are the Pillar Douluo and the Holy Spirit Douluo still trying to get you to join Shrek?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er sighed: “Of course they are. Our exchange program was originally set for five years—once it ends, we can leave Shrek Academy anytime. Seeing three years have passed, they’re growing more desperate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh, before I knew it, I’d become so outstanding that the Pillar Douluo is chasing me to take me as a disciple—if I just say yes, I can pick any ten-thousand-year soul bone from Shrek.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loyal minister serves only one master—one day in the Transmission Spirit Tower, forever in the Transmission Spirit Tower!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er’s fierce loyalty to her sect left Zhao Xuanzhen in awe—he had no doubt whatsoever in the silver-haired girl’s devotion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, did Gu Yue take advantage of you? Did she use any underhanded tricks?” Na’er clutched Zhao Xuanzhen’s arm tightly, glaring at him with burning eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not at all… she’s a proper girl,” Zhao Xuanzhen said helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be fooled by Gu Yue’s surface act—she secretly eats ice cream and spicy strips!” Na’er fumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhao Xuanzhen narrowed his eyes and glanced at Na’er—did you not eat any yourself!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two had known each other for over seven years and were utterly familiar with one another; Naer wore a proud expression, silently refuting Zhao Xuanzhen with her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could I possibly be the same as her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they walked, chatting freely, they avoided Longjie, the street bearing their names and martial souls, and headed instead to Phoenix Street in the outer city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The familiar chicken bone shop was run by a middle-aged man nearing fifty, stout and round, his white apron stained with grease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, we’re back again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clear, jade-like voice rang out; the boss turned toward the sound and couldn’t help but smile—Naer had one arm linked with Zhao Xuanzhen and the other waving vigorously at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bond had begun over chicken bones, and they often came to support his business; the boss had practically watched them grow up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although when Naer was seven, she’d demanded two million Federal Coins to blast two million jin of chicken bones, the boss had nearly thought he’d offended the girl—imagining she meant to exhaust him to death in such a cruel way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, the boss realized that back then, Naer simply had no concept of money or physical effort—she was just an insatiable foodie!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the years, Naer and the chicken bone boss had forged a deep bond; as a result, he’d rented a larger shop, selling not only chicken bones but all kinds of fried skewers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sat at the VIP round table the boss had reserved; Naer declared with bold generosity: “Boss, bring us fifty jin of chicken bones first, then add whatever else you’ve got—we’ve got a great appetite today and will take it all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2385,"2026-06-20T10:43:43.510Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","87c245d28f51f3d9fe1832a00687194650752d8c29d8a3ad26c753d29bdfdeda","douluo-the-dragon-king-s-taiji-xuanzhen-chapter-77","douluo-the-dragon-king-s-taiji-xuanzhen-chapter-75",92,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdouluo-the-dragon-king-s-taiji-xuanzhen-cover.jpg"]
