Douluo Dragon King: The First Person in History

Chapter 112 of the First Person

Chen Xinjie didn't dare ask Hai Wang Douluo if their families were alright, fearing the worst possible outcome.

And then there's Starfish Douluo; his brother is currently helping him with affairs in the Sea God Legion. How am I supposed to tell him this when I get back?

Thinking about this, Chen Xinjie wished he could travel back in time and stab his past self to death. If he hadn't taken the Sea God's Helmet and the three Title Douluos, would his clan have ended up in this state?

Tears streamed down his face as Chen Xinjie stared blankly ahead, his heart filled with nothing but self-reproach and overwhelming murderous intent towards the Holy Spirit Cult.

Chen Xinjie's sorrowful atmosphere also affected the other islanders, and one of them couldn't help but cry. Hearing the crying, the others couldn't help but cry as well.

A perfectly good family, and in just one night, they've become like this. Their Sea God family's loyalty means nothing to Tang San.

With red eyes, Sea Ghost Douluo knelt down beside Chen Xinjie and patted his shoulder. He held back his tears and advised, "Clan leader, be strong. You are now the only pillar of the clan. The clan still needs to be rebuilt. You can't fall here."

"That's right! The reason our Sea God Clan has fallen to this state is all that beast Tang San's fault. The ancestral battle spirits gathered by our ancestors throughout the ages have all been embezzled by that beast. He has been using us all along."

Haiwang Douluo clenched his fists tightly, his nails piercing his flesh, and blood flowed freely, yet he felt no pain.

"Xin Jie!"

A weak voice sounded behind him. Upon hearing the familiar voice, Chen Xinjie immediately got up and staggered toward the direction of the Sea Spear Douluo.

He approached the Sea Spear Douluo, looking at his body, which was even thinner than he remembered. His once golden hair had turned completely white. His once vibrant life force was now as weak as a candle flickering in the wind.

"Ah! Ah! Third Uncle, Third Uncle—!" Having witnessed his blood relatives turn into this state, Chen Xinjie had never hated himself as much as he did now.

Because of his own stubbornness, his family had become what it is today. How could he face his ancestors in the afterlife? No, the thought that even the souls of his ancestors had been violated by that bastard Tang San made Chen Xinjie, the top officer of the Federation military, burst into tears.

He hugged the Sea Spear Douluo's body just like he did when he was a child.

"Third Uncle, I've let Second Uncle down, I've let the family down! I'm a beast, worse than a pig or a dog. I deserve to die!"

"Silly child! How can this be your fault? None of us expected that the Holy Spirit Cult would actually find the location of our Seagod Island, nor did we expect that Tang San, that beast in human form, would be monitoring our Seagod Clan all along."

At this point, Sea Spear Douluo patted Chen Xinjie on the back just like when they were children: "You have to be careful out there. The Holy Spirit Cult has actually managed to get in touch with our Seagod Island. I suspect someone is tipping them off."

It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. The outside world is different from home; your third uncle isn't around, so you need to protect yourself even more, you know? And also…”

Every word from Sea Spear Douluo struck Chen Xinjie's heart like a heavy hammer. At this moment, the number one figure in the Federation military and the master of the Temple of War Gods wept like a child.

Even after committing such a heinous act, his third uncle didn't blame him; his first reaction was still to care about him, fearing he would suffer losses outside.

"Silly child, don't cry. Remember what your Third Uncle said!" Sea Spear Douluo patted Chen Xinjie's broad back affectionately.

“I’ve remembered everything, Third Uncle. You go and rest first. After I finish dealing with the family matters, I’ll immediately go to the Blood God Legion to call Xin Hai and Ze Wen back. I’ll go to the Federation to find medicinal herbs to replenish your life force, I…”

"Silly child, it's not worth it!" Sea Spear Douluo patted Chen Xinjie on the shoulder, looking at Chen Xinjie, whose hair had also turned white, with a sigh:

“My third uncle is over two hundred years old. He didn’t have many years left to live. I’ll be very content if he can live for another three years. Xinhai and Zewen have important responsibilities and have been guarding the Blood God Legion. Don’t trouble them.”

"But your third uncle has something he needs you to do!" Sea Spear Douluo looked at Chen Xinjie seriously, and Chen Xinjie immediately nodded in agreement.

"Don't even mention one, I'll agree to a hundred."

"Good boy, your third uncle hopes you can reconcile with Xinhai. Your third uncle really doesn't have many years left to live. Now, besides the family, I'm only worried about you two brothers."

Once your third uncle is gone, you'll have very few close relatives left. He doesn't want you to be so lonely in your old age. For his sake, apologize to Xinhai. You two brothers must take good care of yourselves.

It's all Uncle's fault for leaving you with this mess...

Hearing his third uncle's words, Chen Xinjie's mind was flooded with memories. When he and Xinhai made mistakes as children, his second and third uncles pleaded for them.

When he was young, he wanted to elope with Long Yeyue, but his father found out and whipped him half to death. His third uncle found out and took the whip for him.

When they got married, his third uncle went on a dangerous hunt to kill a 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast to celebrate his marriage, and gave him a 100,000-year-old soul bone as a wedding gift.

besides……………………

Thinking of all the sacrifices that Sea Spear Douluo had made for him, a crack appeared in the bright image of his uncle in Chen Xinjie's mind. The image of his third uncle and his words from earlier resurfaced in his mind.

At this moment, Chen Xinjie truly let go of the past. The memories Long Yeyue left in his mind and the image of her as his white moonlight were shattered by the few words Sea Spear Douluo had just said.

His sense of responsibility to his family and his affection for his loved ones overshadowed his so-called love at this time.

In this world, love, and even Ah Yue, may all be illusions, carefully crafted deceptions. But his third uncle's love for him is the only thing he can be certain of.

He cared whether he was dressed warmly enough, whether he was injured, or whether he had suffered any losses. Even when he was dying, he was still worried about himself and blamed himself for leaving a mess for his nephew.

A resolute glint flashed in Chen Xinjie's eyes as he looked at Sea Spear Douluo and nodded heavily.

Thus, Chen Xinjie, the unwavering anti-Shrek hero, the number one Tang San, and the T1 of the Dragon King Legend version, makes his debut.

Chapter 215 Vehicle Killer Tang Wulin

"Your third uncle believes in you! Good boy, you've finally grown up."

Sea Spear Douluo smiled with satisfaction. At his age, how could he not see that his nephew had finally come out of poverty?

It's a bit late, but it's good that he made it out of it. At least he got to see it before he died.

Seeing the look of relief on Sea Spear Douluo's face, Chen Xinjie felt as if his heart was being gripped tightly, making it hard for him to breathe.

"Third Uncle, let me help you to your room to rest. Don't worry, I'm here. Just focus on your recovery."

"Good boy, your third uncle believes in you."

Watching the departing figures of the uncle and nephew, Hai Wang and Hai Gui stared at Chen Xinjie, whose posture had subtly become several degrees taller, with complicated expressions, remaining silent for a long time.

After a long pause, Sea Ghost Douluo looked uncertainly at his colleague beside him: "Has Chen Xinjie reformed?"

"Idiot! How can this be called turning over a new leaf? This should be called a return from a lost path." Hai Wang Douluo gave Hai Gui Douluo a disdainful look, thinking that this guy didn't read books and didn't even know such a simple word.

Bang! The Sea Maiden Douluo slammed the Sea Demon Flute down on the head of the Sea Demon Douluo: "You idiot, that's called realizing your mistake! 'Returning from the wrong path'? Have you even read a book?"

Rubbing his slightly pointed head, Haiwang Douluo looked at Hai Nu Douluo behind him with displeasure. What if he damaged his clever brain by hitting him so hard?

"Tsk! You two illiterate idiots, get to work! We've got a lot to do now: clean up the shattered statues and damaged houses, buy medicinal herbs, treat the wounded..."

Ignoring Hai Wang Douluo's dissatisfaction, the Sea Maiden Douluo dragged him and Hai Gui Douluo to take charge of the work. Hearing the Sea Maiden Douluo's words, Hai Gui Douluo and Hai Wang Douluo, whose faces had just shown a few smiles, felt a headache coming on.

Poseidon Island needs money everywhere right now. With most of its treasure vault looted, if they have to spend another sum of money to repair Poseidon Island, they'll be either dirt poor or living hand to mouth for a while.

"Don't worry, I'll figure out how to solve these problems!" Just as the three of them were frowning and racking their brains trying to figure out where to get some money, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.

The three of them turned around and saw Chen Xinjie smiling and nodding at them.

“Clan leader! We need more than a small sum of money. You…” Haiwang Douluo glanced uncertainly at Chen Xinjie, his eyes full of distrust.

Chen Xinjie's recent actions were simply too far-fetched; Haiwang Douluo couldn't imagine where Chen Xinjie would get such a large sum of money. He wouldn't have raided the Federation's treasury, would he?

"Don't worry! I know what I'm doing. I was indeed a bit reckless in the past, please forgive me." Chen Xinjie solemnly promised Hai Wang and the other two. He used to be ignorant and always treated Long Yeyue like a treasure, but now he has come to his senses.

Forget about Long Yeyue and love; nothing matters to him now compared to his family. Once the family is rebuilt, his first priority will be to help the Spirit Pagoda suppress Shrek Academy.

After explaining some matters to the three, Chen Xinjie hurriedly flew towards Mingdu. The fact that the Holy Spirit Cult was able to launch a sudden attack on their Seagod Island meant that a significant force must have played a crucial role.

His first suspect was the Federation, but unfortunately he had no evidence to prove that the Federation's high-ranking officials were colluding with the Holy Spirit Church. However, in many cases, whether or not there is evidence is not important.

If he simply showed the other families the tragic state of their Sea God family, Chen Xinjie believed they would understand what to do. If the Holy Spirit Cult dared to launch a surprise attack on the Sea God family today, they might dare to attack the Angel family, the Yu family, or the Qian Gu family tomorrow.

No one could guarantee that these lunatics wouldn't suddenly turn on their own family. The tragedy of the Poseidon family could very well be their family's fate. Like lips and teeth, if one is gone, the other will be cold; from their family's perspective, they would all help Chen Xinjie without needing to say it explicitly.

However, before going to Mingdu, he needed to visit the Blood God Legion first, as the Sea God Clan was currently in dire need of powerful individuals. Chen Xinjie was determined to bring back Blood Second and Blood Ninth, even if it meant kneeling down and begging them.

.......................................

Shrek Academy

Early in the morning, the first-year students stood in Lingbing Square, full of energy, waiting for the start of their final exams.

Because of He Yushu's reforms, Qian Gu Chenran's class naturally didn't have to have their wallets and soul-guided communicators confiscated like the previous seniors.

To earn some travel expenses, they had no choice but to perform on the streets of Lingbing Square. Under the envious and jealous gazes of the upperclassmen, the first-year students happily followed their designated routes.

Qian Gu Chenran looked at the route on the map, planning to first go to Tian Dou City to see how the Body Sect was developing, then return to Xuan Ming City, where the Xuan Ming Sect was located, to see his maternal grandfather, whom he hadn't seen in a long time and wondered how his health was. Finally, he would go to Ming Du to see the family's ancestral lands.

Having already agreed with Na'er, Gu Yue, and others to meet in Xuanming City, Qian Gu Chen Ran transformed into silver flames and vanished without a trace before everyone's eyes.

Shen Yi, who had originally planned to secretly follow behind and record Qian Gu Chen Ran's exam progress, was dumbfounded. She hurriedly went to the place where Qian Gu Chen Ran had disappeared and carefully explored the surroundings with her soul power again and again, trying to find out which direction he had gone.

No matter how she searched, she couldn't find a trace of Qian Gu Chen Ran's soul power.

He Yushu then appeared behind Shen Yi with great interest. Others might not be able to tell, but as a Limit Douluo, he roughly understood how Qian Gu Chenran had disappeared.

No! Rather than saying he disappeared, it's more accurate to say that he merged into space and moved into the distance.

Shen Yi, a Soul Saint, whose Martial Soul lacks spatial attributes, naturally couldn't detect how Qian Gu Chen Ran disappeared. Even if she did, she wouldn't be able to catch up.

He waved his hand at Shen Yi: "I will proctor Chen Ran's exam. You can go and proctor the others."

"Yes! Dean!"

He Yushu took a step forward, merging into the space and chasing after the direction where the ancient dust had vanished.

"Then I'll be going now! See you in Xuanming City, Xinglan, Na'er, and Guyue." Wu Siduo waved to the group and walked out of Lingbing Guangcheng.

"I'm leaving too! Gu Yue, Na'er, let's meet up in Xuanming City then." Ye Xinglan said goodbye and walked into the distance.

The remaining two halves of the Silver Dragon King exchanged a glance, then snorted resentfully. They proceeded in two completely opposite directions.

Taking out his pre-purchased train ticket, Qian Gu Chenran stepped onto the Soul Guidance Train and headed towards carriage number seven. However, he didn't notice a familiar figure hurriedly running onto the train, carrying large bags of food.

Panting heavily, Tang Wulin finally boarded the train at the last minute. After stuffing all the things he had bought into his storage soul tool, Tang Wulin headed towards carriage number seven.

If Qian Gu Chenran saw that his old classmate had also boarded the Soul Guidance Train, he would definitely say this: "Dragon King Legend version T1, vehicle killer Tang Wulin is about to make his move."

The train was traveling at a steady speed towards Tiandou City when He Yushu suddenly noticed a foul odor and boarded the Soul Guidance Train. Looking at the evil soul master who was wrapped up tightly, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Why did the evil spirit master suddenly appear on the car? Oh well! I'll just have Chen Ran kill him as part of the exam later.

The evil spirit master, who was looking for a spot, suddenly shivered.

Chapter 216 Instantly Killing the Evil Soul Master and Tang Wulin's Pride

A chilling aura, enough to make one's soul tremble, surged into his heart, and the evil spirit master, who was about to sit down, found his entire back soaked with sweat.

He scanned his surroundings in alarm, but aside from ordinary people without cultivation, he found no trace of other Soul Masters. He breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed he had been overthinking things.

Mo Lan is just an ordinary person without soul power, what is he so afraid of? He calmed himself down and prepared to carry out the Holy Cult's plan.

In the sixth carriage where Qian Gu Chen Ran was, he was taking out the nutritious lunchbox prepared by Mu Ye and enjoying his meal.

Thanks to He Yushu's reforms, none of the first-year students' storage soul tools were confiscated. Mu Ye specially made more than ten boxed meals for him, fearing that his precious disciple would go hungry on the road.

"Chen Ran!"
