Douluo Dalu - The Story Of Sheng Feilong

Yuanen Yehui stared at Sheng Feilong in shock . She already knew that his Spirit Essence is incredibly powerful and definitely a top ranking Spirit Essence, so it"s to understandable that her Fallen Angel Spirit Essence would react to it, but the demon she summoned as well? That was a real demon summoned from the true Nine h.e.l.ls!

The reason why everyone was so shocked to see her unleash her fourth Soul Skil in the tournament is exactly because of that reason . A true demon from the Nine h.e.l.ls has unfathomable powers . Although the one Yuanen Yehui summoned is comparatively weaker, that is only because of her own cultivation base; Once she became stronger, the summoned demon"s strength would be adjusted accordingly .

The Gates of h.e.l.l was a Soul Skill highly sought after by every evil Soul Master in this world and their organizations; They would go to great lengths to get anyone with this power to their side – forcibly, if need be .

However, Sheng Feilong"s Spirit Essence turned this situation upside down, completely disregarding the normally dreadful demon . Yuanen Yehui wanted to know just how powerful his Spirit Essence truly is for it to have such an effect on an actual demon, but she didn"t have the time to do so .

As soon as Sheng Feilong finished his words, the demon version of Yuanen Yehui sprung back to its feet and the real Yuanen Yehui felt a powerful force pulling at her Soul Power; The demon actually tried to open the Gates of h.e.l.l using her power .

She had already closed the gates she had summoned at the beginning because the Soul Power expenditure of keeping it opened was extreme high . Yuanen Yehui"s face changed when the demon suddenly tried to pry the gates back open, but quickly calmed down when she saw the demons distressed and pleading expression; It seemed to want nothing more than to just flee far away .

Reluctantly, Yuanen Yehui used her forth Soul Skill again, opening the gates and the demon instantly dashed through them, back to where it came from . She looked around, only to see She Meixiao stand by the side with a satisfied smile and glistering eyes, while Elder Cai had an extremely solemn expression .

Yuanen Yehui followed Elder Cai"s gaze; She was staring at Sheng Feilong, who now stood in place with his eyes closed . His body was shaking ever so slightly, but one could clearly feel the intense, sombre energy radiating off of him calm down .

Sheng Feilong had closed his eyes when the summoned demon returned to the Nine h.e.l.ls, because the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon was still rampaging . It wasn"t satisfied with how things had turned out at all and instead wanted to rip the summoned demon into shreds . Sheng Feilong was currently focusing to keep control over himself .

A few minutes pa.s.sed in silence before the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon finally calmed down and became quiet again; It"s spirit vanishing into silence once again . Sheng Feilong slowly transformed back into his human form and let out a long sigh when he opened his eyes . His back was now drenched in cold sweat; He could barely retain his rational thoughts when the demon stood in front of him .

Sheng Feilong soon noticed Elder Cai staring at him with a solemn expression . Noticing him staring back, Elder Cai turned her gaze towards She Meixiao, who was still smiling brightly . "Just what is his Spirit Essence . . . ?" Elder Cai understood just what kind of existence the demon summoned by Yuanen Yehui is, thus increasing her interest in the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon .

She Meixiao smiled back at Elder Cai, speaking with an sweat voice, but accusing undertone . "I don"t think we"ll have to tell you, do we?" For Sheng Feilong, it was clear that She Meixao was implying that she already knew due to the circ.u.mstances regarding Gu Yue, but Elder Cai seemed to understand differently .

The latter let out a displeased harrumph, and replied in a plain tone . "No, you don"t . He isn"t a member of Shrek Academy anymore, but of Daedalus, after all . " Sheng Feilong frowned lightly, but said nothing, while She Meixiao continued to smile . "I"m thankful for Elder Cai to be so understanding . "

She Meixiao then turned slightly to the side, looking at Yuanen Yehui . She nodded with satisfied expression and smile on her face . Then spoke up in a light voice, seemingly meant for everyone . "It seems our little test was a complete success . Feilong, you did really well and it seems like that Yuanen Yehui won"t have to worry about demons, at least not until she reaches a certain boundary . "

Sheng Feilong didn"t quite understand what his Master meant with the last part of her sentence, but still thanked her for the praise . Elder Cai"s expression darkened somewhat, while Yuanen Yehui seemed fl.u.s.tered at what She Meixiao said .

Once again smiling lightly at Yuanen Yehui, She Meixiao spoke up with a light voice . "Daedalus is the number one organisation when it comes to knowledge about evil, dark or demonic Spirit Essences and information; Usually, even Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect or the Spirit PaG.o.da can"t compare to our knowledge in those regards . You don"t have to worry, though; This information will not land in the wrong hands . "

"Master? What information are you talking about?" Sheng Feilong asked in a rather low voice, not understanding where his Master was coming from . The latter lightly shook her head with a calm expression, while Yuanen Yehui still looked fl.u.s.tered . "You don"t have to understand, yet . You will know in the future, if necessary . "

Sheng Feilong looked back and forth between She Meixiao and Yuanen Yehui for a moment before nodding . He still didn"t understand what information they were talking about, but he wouldn"t press the matter as Yuanen Yehui didn"t look like she wants to talk about, while She Meixiao already said he"d know when he needs to .

Elder Cai"s expression was still rather dark, but she spoke with a plain tone . "We"ll be taking our leave now . " She glanced at Yuanen Yehui, indicating for the latter to follow her . Yuanen Yehui nodded before turning to She Meixiao and Sheng Feilong again and respectfully bowed to the two of them . "Thank you for your help . "

She Meixiao smiled, but remained silent, only stalthily glancing at Sheng Feilong . The latter didn"t notice her gaze, and only smiled at Yuanen Yehui . "There"s no need for thanks, we asked you to come, after all . Though, if that demon is troubling you again, I"ll gladly help you . "

Yuanen Yehui hesitated for a moment before nodding with a small smile . "Thank you . . . " She bowed lightly once again and then followed Elder Cai out of the hall .

She Meixiao and Sheng Feilong remained in the hall for a while longer and the former suddenly smiled brightly at Sheng Feilong . "That was impressive . . . " Sheng Feilong looked a bit confused . But quickly nodded his head . "The Netherworld Putrefaction Demon rampaged a lot, specially after I transformed, but didn"t kill the summoned demon . The strange black chains really are powerful . "

She Meixiao showed a amused expression for a second and also spoke up . "That was also impressive . You did really well today . Let"s return to the Grand Star Luo Hotel for now . We"ll continue our travels tomorrow, so take it easy for the rest of the day . "

Sheng Feilong nodded before also following She Meixiao out of the hall . Back at the hotel, Sheng Feilong returned to his room first . It was barely past noon, but he was considerably tired from dealing with the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon, so he opted to rest for a while in meditation .

It took him about an hour before he opened his eyes again, no long considering cultivating in meditation was a normal thing for every Soul Master, but he had a reason to stop . Holding his grumbling stomach, he stood up from the bed and went for the dining hall; He was craving something to eat .

The Grand Star Luo Hotel was usually quite empty durign this time of the day as most people didn"t remain at the hotel for lunch, but the dining hall would still prepare a buffet for everyone that did stay .

Sheng Feilong grabbed a plate and tried a few of the food items from the buffet before settling down on a table . There were a few people scattered throughout the s.p.a.cious dining hall, but no one that Sheng Feilong recognized .

A few minutes later, someone came to his table and sat down across from him . Sheng Feilong was surprised to see that it was Yuanen Yehui . "You"re not with Wulin and the others?" Yuanen Yehui nodded her head nonchalantly and shruged lightly . "Elder Cai didn"t mention how long it would take when we went out, so the others have gone to the city alone . "

"I see . " Sheng Feilong nodded and smiled lightly before starting to eat again . "Well, let"s enjoy our meal then . " However, Yuanen Yehui didn"t start eating . Instead, she looked at Sheng Feilong with a light frown and asked another question . "You"ve been avoiding us for the past few days . And Tang Wulin also didn"t look good whenever you were nearby . Did something happen?"

Sheng Feilong stopped and looked back at her . His face turned a bit more serious, but he hesitated to say something . " . . . No, nothing . " Yuanen Yehui obviously wasn"t satisfied with that and rolled her eyes . "It sure doesn"t look like nothing . "

"You wouldn"t believe me even if I told you . " Sheng Feilong tried saying this ith a joking expression, but Yuanen Yehui took it serious . "How would you know? Just tell me . "

He hesitated again, but then decided to to just tell her the gist of it . "Gu Yue came to my room after the tournament and tried to kill me . I used Tang Wulin as a hostage to make her spill her secrets . Well, they didn"t like that . "

As expected, Yuanen Yehui looked at him with an incredulous expression and frowned . " . . . What?"
