Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Lan Xuanyu was immersed in a pitch-black world which he was unable to see nor hear. There was no pain, yet it filled him up with fear. The only thing he could feel was that he was somewhat floating.

Suddenly, light blossomed before him and his vision cleared up. To his surprise, he saw an extremely strange scene.

It was as though he was overlooking from the sky with a layer of faintly discernible mist along with the clouds below him that had projections of mountains floating in the sky. It was a bizarre yet a magnificent sight.

And in his vicinity, countless of exotic and strange creatures surrounded him. He could not make out what he himself was, he could only see, although vague, a multi-colored halo that seemed to be emitted to where he was. Many of the strange creatures that were around him were over 100 meters long.

‘Are they dragons?’ He stared at the creatures in shock. They were all larger and lanky with claws beneath their bellies, making them extremely similar to the large dragons of legends. But, there were just too many of them with at least a few hundreds to a thousand dragons. Additionally, it also had beats that as large as them.

He was unable to sense any spiritual power nor hear a thing. In the next moment, the giant beasts all flew downwards into the layers of mist and clouds.

The multi-colored light beneath started to rise as large humans emerged in succession with all kinds of weapons in hands. They were actually fighting the giant beasts.

The scene suddenly turned blurry and prevented Lan Xuanyu from observing clearly, but he was able to sense an emotion brimming with sorrow and anger, along with a roar of a dragon resonating with it.

After an unknown period of time, the scene before him cleared up once again as a bloody ball of light flew close to him.

An indescribable fear enveloped Lan Xuanyu’s consciousness. At the same time, the blood ball that was flickering about was outflanked by a sudden outburst of gold and silver light.

Aghh—

Lan Xuanyu wanted to shout, but no matter how he tried, he was unable to release a sound. Fear, indignance, anger, sorrow. All sorts of emotions instantly spread through every corner of his heart.

Zi Luo city hospital, Intensive care unit.

Nan Cheng stood watch outside the intensive care ward. In truth, the ward itself supplied fundamental support and care to its patient and there was no need for anyone to be on standby. But, she remained there and she even applied for a non-paid leave at work.

Lan Xiao should be in Heaven Luo City after being promoted, but he chose to stay because of Lan Xuanyu’s predicament. To them, Heaven Luo City was, after all, a foreign territory. Additionally, Lan Xuanyu was in an extremely difficult and heartbreaking situation!

“Didi, Didi, Didi!” The ear-piercing alarm suddenly went off. Nan Cheng was instantly alerted and stood up to look into the ward.

Inside the ward, Lan Xuanyu was spasming intensely as his body trembled incessantly. Gold veins appeared on one side of his face as silver veins appeared on the other. The two veins crossed paths and seemed to be in conflict.

“Doctor, doctor!” Nan Cheng lost her head out of fear and started screaming.

Even without her screaming, the doctors were already running over when the intensive care unit alarm rang.

“Quick, prepare the defibrillator. Hit the tranquilizer. Prepare the brainwave machine. His brainwaves are fluctuating extremely violently.” The doctor remarked with a solemn expression.

Lan Xuanyu had been in a comatose state for 20 days. In any situation like his, such an agitation to occur indicated a life or death situation!

The surgeon’s kind heart felt extremely unpleasant for such a handsome child to suffer such a fate.

As the anesthesia set in, Lan Xuanyu’s agitated body gradually calmed down. It was ineffective against the gold and silver veins that remained on his face and body, especially at his upper torso area. Along with the areas where the two colors intersected, a faint rainbow-colored light was visible.

The doctors and nurses busied themselves for half an hour before calming Lan Xuanyu’s body down. After conducting another check on his body, they concluded that it was normal.

Heaven Luo City’s stadium.

Clad in silver oriental robes matched with his blue hair, Master Le appeared extremely graceful and charismatic. He had a faint smile on his face, his eyes filled with melancholy and loss which was also his most common expression. Yet, it was able to capture the hearts of his fans.

80% of the crowd that filled the stadium were females and they all waved their arms like drunkards as they showcased their passion.

Too cool, Master Le is truly too cool. Furthermore, listening to him live was a completely new experience as compared to its broadcasts. His voice contained an indescribable charm, causing all listeners on-site to be completely immersed in his voice. They would shed tears unknowingly, and recall their own heartbreaks and sadness.

Master Le sang gently:

“Her silhouette blurred, as though experiencing a thousand years of reincarnation.”

“Her voice so clear, from the countless reverberations from the past.”

“Her fragrance of musk and lily, that lingers at the edge of my senses despite the passing of ages.”

“Her soft and slender hands, my best anchor and harbor.”

“One life, three worlds, one of our soul, the second of society, and the last contained within the depths of our hearts.”

“Where is she now?”

…

It was the same song titled ‘Remembrance’ that had been sung countless times. Yet, it was still able to capture the hearts of the audience and it felt different every time.

Master Le himself seemed to be completely immersed in his song. Each time he sang, his mind would fall into this unique state. He could not recall his past, but through the song, he was able to faintly sense that he had someone important to him, which he was trying to call out.

“Buzz—” Suddenly, Master Le frowned mid-song and broke his melancholic expression. In the next instant, he seemed to be dumbfounded as his singing stopped abruptly as well.

The music continued without any lyrics while the intoxicated fans gradually woke up from their trance as they displayed their stunned expressions.

“Apologies, I need to leave for a moment.” Master Le suddenly bowed down and then took a step forward, and even before anyone could clearly understand the situation, he transformed into a golden light and disappeared from his original spot.

“This…”

The entranced fans stared in shock, unable to comprehend what had just occurred.

Was this something arranged by the organizers? Where is Master Le? Did he fly away? How did they do it so fast?

What is going on?

The fans remained confused for a time, firstly whispering amongst themselves, but it quickly spiraled down as the situation became messy and out of control.

“Everyone, please stay in your positions and stay calm, this is a surprise organized by Master Le for everyone, a special surprise dedicated to Heaven Luo planet.”
