Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting-Novel

Chapter 542 – My Name Is Bai Xiuxiu

TL : GoldenLung

Among the divine beasts on the ground, Lan Xuanyu suddenly saw a familiar figure. It was a gigantic tiger covered in gold and black fur, its body as large as a mountain. It raised its head and let out a tiger roar, and behind it, countless divine beasts responded. They responded to the Dragon God’s dragon roar in the sky.

Dragon roar and tiger roar shook the heavens and earth!

In the distance, there were gigantic figures and a terrifying aura that led countless troops to wait for them.

The nine-colored giant dragon let out a loud dragon roar and was the first to fly forward. On the ground, the giant gold and black tiger charged out brazenly and pulled out two golden and black shadows behind it. Together with the Dragon God in the sky, they charged into the distance.

That battle caused the sky to darken and the earth to darken! That was a collision between races, a war that determined the ruler.

While this ancient battle echoed in Lan Xuanyu’s mind, Dong Qianqiu, who was not far from him, had a blank look in her eyes.

A completely different scene appeared in her mind.

It was a blue world, a world that belonged to the sea. The cold seawater made everything feel so transparent and comfortable.

Huge white sharks swam freely in the sea, occasionally letting out their own sounds.

There were over a hundred white sharks that formed this gigantic group. Among them, there were two gigantic existences at the center.

A faint white halo rippled. The largest shark’s body suddenly changed and shrunk rapidly. It actually gradually transformed into a human form and became a handsome middle-aged man. His entire body was covered in white clothes and his dark blue hair fluttered behind him.

Beside him, another gigantic Great White Shark also began to transform into a beautiful lady. She was also dressed in white and her long hair fluttered in the wind.

The seawater around them seemed to have parted on its own as the white sharks circled around them.

The two of them held hands and had smiles on their faces. A faint halo was being emitted from their bodies and illuminated the surrounding seawater, making everything even clearer.

Right at this moment, a petite white shark wandered over and came before the lady. It opened its mouth and spat out a string of bubbles.

“You’re being naughty again, Bai Paopao.” The lady covered her mouth and giggled.

That petite white shark immediately swung its body and the middle-aged man laughed. “Our daughter isn’t satisfied. She doesn’t like the name ‘Paopao”, it’s too unpleasant to hear. Hahaha!”

The lady laughed. “She can only blame herself. Who asked her to be so fond of blowing bubbles? She’s already so big, yet she’s still blowing bubbles all the time. Why don’t we call her Bai Xiuxiu (咻咻) (1) ?”

The middle-aged man laughed. “She would never accept it. Actually, I think calling her Xiuxiu (秀秀) (2) sounds quite nice! Isn’t it good that it has the same pronunciation as ‘Xiuxiu’ (咻咻)? Why don’t we call her Bai Xiuxiu (秀秀) ? Our daughter will surely become very pretty.”

“Alright, then let’s call her Bai Xiuxiu. Objection overruled, my baby girl. Hehehe!”

The scene changed and everything turned into bubbles.

It was still the sea, but everything seemed to have changed. A gigantic white shark swam in the sea, and its clear voice echoed in the water.

“I don’t want to be called Xiuxiu, I want to give myself a name. Being in the ice cea, what I control is ice. I want to be able to freeze this world and everything. I want to give myself a domineering name, Dong Qianqiu (冻千秋 = Freezing A Thousand Autumn), humph! Father, Mother, objection overruled.”

Just at this moment, a helpless voice resounded in the sea. “You little girl, you’re being naughty again. I’ll let you be. You can call yourself whatever you want, but keep your surname as Xiuxiu. Daddy is already used to calling you that. Come back quickly. Recently, our sea area isn’t very peaceful. The Devil Tiger Whales often appear. Don’t go too far. Don’t let Daddy and Mommy worry!”

“I know, I know. I’ll go back now.”

The seawater shattered and turned into bubbles that disappeared without a trace. Dong Qianqiu, who was standing next to Lan Xuanyu, had tears streaming down her face.

“Daddy, Mommy. Daddy, Mommy...”

She finally remembered everything and recalled the past that she had intentionally forgotten due to her grief.

Dong Qianqiu? No, my name is Bai Xiuxiu.

When she was young, she was rebellious, but after growing up, she realized how childish she was.

‘I miss you guys so much! If only you guys were still alive. Daddy, Mommy, I won’t be willful anymore. I just want you guys to come back alive!’

“Rumble!” Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky. The two gigantic black dragons were still colliding.

Their bodies began to turn illusory and even shrink. Cracks appeared in the sky and tore the space around them apart.

Unknowingly, Wang Tianyu, Yang Hui, Bai Lingshuang, and Tang Miao were already floating in midair. They worked together to lay down layers of energy barriers, isolating everything in the sky, especially those spatial cracks.

Lan Xuanyu panted heavily as the scenery before him returned, but he only felt extremely exhausted, as though he had just experienced a huge battle.

There was no doubt about the final outcome of the battle between the gods and the divine beast. The divine beasts should have lost. This should be the reason why soul beasts were unable to cultivate to Godhood no matter what. But why couldn’t the divine beasts and the gods coexist peacefully? What caused the battle back then?

Lan Xuanyu’s breathing was somewhat rapid and he subconsciously looked to his side. He immediately saw that Dong Qianqiu’s face was filled with tears.

“Qianqiu, what’s wrong?” Lan Xuanyu quickly grabbed her hand.

Dong Qianqiu lowered her head and shook her head gently. “Sorry, I’m not Dong Qianqiu anymore. I’m Bai Xiuxiu. Call me Bai Xiuxiu in the future, alright?”

“Ah?” Lan Xuanyu was stunned. He didn’t know what had happened to Dong Qianqiu, but he could clearly feel the sorrow in her heart. He had never seen Dong Qianqiu like this before. He didn’t ask further and just nodded his head silently as he held her hand tightly.

Feeling the warmth coming from his palm, Dong Qianqiu, no, Bai Xiuxiu’s state of mind finally stabilized a little. She took half a step forward, allowing herself to be closer to him. There was always a sense of stability around him.

Suddenly, the sky lit up.

The two gigantic black dragons suddenly turned bright purple at the same time. Their bodies were already covered in wounds, but at this moment, they still emitted an extremely strong aura.

All of a sudden, the black dragon with a solid body pounced forward. Ignoring the huge wounds left by the illusory black dragon on its body, it actually hugged it and tangled with it.

Their gigantic bodies coiled around each other, and the large space cracks around them seemed to have exploded due to the powerful energy that burst forth from their bodies. In an instant, a strange scene appeared in the sky. In the middle were two gigantic black dragons that emitted a strong purple light, and around them were large, pitch-black space cracks.

The four god-rank powerhouses had grave expressions on their faces. If so many spatial cracks landed on the surface of the planet, it would immediately cause a huge disaster. They all focused and guarded carefully, not allowing any cracks to spread.

Right at this moment, a low but dignified voice resounded in everyone’s ears.

“I was born and accompanied by the Dragon God. With the help of the Dragon God, I had become a Dragon King. Unfortunately, the heavens didn’t look after me and the Dragon Race fell. I wandered the world and achieved my Dao in the Great Star Dou Forest. After that, I cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years and protected the soul beast lineage. Today, the heavens were heartless and finally wanted to cut off my path forward. I have a clear conscience about what I did in my life. I am only worried about what will happen after me. After my leave, Tiger King will inherit the position of Beast God and will be fully supported by all my companions. Our cooperation with Shrek, Tang Sect, Spirit Pagoda, and War God Temple remains unchanged. I hope that the Federation will take care of us and protect our race.”

Author note : As for Dong Qianqiu changing her name to “Bai Xiuxiu”, I have explained the reason in my Weibo, xin, and platform. Everyone can search for “Tjs33″。

TL note : Briefly, the author TJSS has the habit of naming some of his characters after his friends. That was the case for Dong Qianqiu, but this was recently (around 2019-08-20) being harassed under this name and so he decided change it.

TL note: bai = white; paopao = bubble; (1) xiuxiu = gasping for air; (2) xiuxiu = elegant
