Douluo Starting with the Chaos Divine Examination

"A dragon! It really is a dragon!"

"How could there be a dragon in the waters near Purple Pearl Island?"

"Defensive formation! Prepare for battle!"

The pirates on Purple Pearl Island scrambled to their positions, readying themselves for a confrontation with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon that had emerged from the sea.

"Si Nuo, go entertain yourself. Don't worry about me," Mu Chen said calmly.

What?!

Every pirate on Purple Pearl Island froze, stunned by Mu Chen's casual remark. Was he commanding that dragon?

No way.

Even Purple Pearl looked bewildered.

The dragon in front of them was capable of speech, meaning it had a cultivation level of at least 100,000 years.

Could a human and a soul beast really be allies?

Purple Pearl frowned deeply.

While it wasn't unheard of for humans and soul beasts to form friendships, such instances were rare. The Demon Spirit Great White Shark, for example, was a friend of the Sea God's High Priest. But that was because the shark revered the Sea God, and the High Priest held a status second only to the deity—a divine emissary on earth.

"Understood, Master."

The melodious voices of four women came from the dragon's mouth.

"Master"?

Purple Pearl was no longer just frowning; she stared at Mu Chen with shock and disbelief. This powerful soul beast—over 100,000 years old—had actually acknowledged this young man as its master?

Her worldview shattered in that instant. The longstanding animosity between humans and soul beasts was well-known, yet here was a soul beast pledging loyalty to a human.

"Surprised?" Xiao Wu said with a faint smile.

Purple Pearl didn't reply. She continued to stare at Mu Chen in shock. Gradually, however, her shock turned into fear. If this man chose to attack Purple Pearl Island, what could she do to defend against him?

Hu Liena also smiled but glanced meaningfully at Mu Chen.

Mu Chen wasn't just capable of commanding soul beasts; he had even taken a 100,000-year-old rabbit as his partner, setting a precedent in the human-soul beast relationship.

Knowing Xiao Wu's true identity, Hu Liena—now Mu Chen's woman—wasn't foolish enough to expose it. But she couldn't help but wonder how Purple Pearl would react if she learned the truth.

"You still have one last chance. Your thirty seconds of preparation start now," Mu Chen said with a smile.

What?!

Purple Pearl's heart raced, and she quickly regained her composure. A glint of determination flashed in her eyes as she formulated a plan. Her lips curled into a sly smile as she activated her martial spirit and unleashed her soul power to its fullest extent.

Mu Chen's ability to teleport made it impossible to stay in one place.

The sea was also off-limits, thanks to the dragon lurking there.

With no other options, Purple Pearl dashed into the dense forest that blanketed her island.

Whoosh!

As a Level 68 Soul Emperor, Purple Pearl moved with incredible speed, disappearing from sight in an instant.

"Twenty-eight!"

"Twenty-nine!"

"Thirty!"

"Time's up," Mu Chen declared with a smile.

"Brother, do you need my help?" Xiao Wu asked eagerly.

"Husband, I can help too!" Hu Liena chimed in.

Mu Chen shook his head gently and gazed at the lush forest before him.

Although Purple Pearl Island was an island, it was vast, with sprawling forests and undulating mountain ranges resembling waves.

For her final attempt, Purple Pearl hadn't gone into the sea but had instead hidden deep within the island's green expanse.

One-quarter of the incense stick had already burned. If Purple Pearl could remain hidden for the rest of the time, she would win the bet.

"You've already lost!"

A pirate smirked confidently. "Our island has a hundred mountains, with countless caves and treacherous terrain. Even the most seasoned pirates can't explore every peak in ten days, let alone catch our captain within the time of a single incense stick!"

"That's right! Get ready to drink our captain's foot-washing water, hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

The pirates roared with laughter, mocking Mu Chen as if the bet were already won.

Mu Chen, however, simply smiled and waved to Xiao Wu and Hu Liena. "Xiao Wu, Nana, follow me."

"Alright."

"Yes."

Xiao Wu and Hu Liena nodded, activating their soul power and quickly following Mu Chen.

The pirates, curious, trailed after them.

Meanwhile, deep within the forest, Purple Pearl leaned against a boulder, a triumphant smile on her face.

"One incense stick?"

"Hmph! Catch me on my own island in that time? Impossible!"

The self-assured pirate captain relaxed, pulling a piece of fruit from her storage soul tool. Perched on a large rock, she rested her elbow on her knee and leisurely ate the fruit.

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud noise shattered her peace, causing Purple Pearl to frown.

"What's going on?"

She spat out the fruit and walked to the cave entrance, peering toward the shore.

Boom!

Another sound echoed, louder than the first.

Purple Pearl's expression darkened. She had instructed her men to signal her if Mu Chen approached, and the noises clearly indicated he was heading straight for her hiding spot.

"Damn it! How did he find me?"

Panicking, Purple Pearl activated her martial spirit and dashed toward the mountain peak. She only needed to hold out until the incense stick burned out to win.

Teleportation!

Teleportation!

Teleportation!

In rapid succession, Mu Chen teleported five times, each leap covering 200 meters. In mere moments, he had closed the 1,000-meter gap between himself and Purple Pearl.

"You've lost," Mu Chen said with a smirk, standing just meters from Purple Pearl, who was now perched precariously on a cliff edge at the mountain's summit.
