Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 684 Casual Conversation: The Continent's Number One Healing-Type Soul Master!
Upon hearing what Du Busi said, Elder Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly, smiling without saying a word.

To be honest, even he, the current head of the Sea God Pavilion, finds the current situation in the academy quite dreamlike.

So, all sorts of geniuses, all sorts of prodigies!
In the past, it was considered quite good if one emerged every twenty or thirty years; now they're popping up in droves.

how to say
Comfortable!

Very comfortable!

The same goes for Elder Mu. Shrek Academy is probably at its strongest and most prosperous peak in ten thousand years! Apart from the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils becoming gods ten thousand years ago, this generation has the most geniuses and the most monstrous talents!

Outside, Jiang Ming flew at full speed and returned to Shrek City in less than half a day.

After landing, Jiang Ming released everyone from the small world.

"We've arrived at the academy."

Jiang Ming said softly.

Hearing Jiang Ming's voice and seeing the familiar scene around them, everyone was in a daze.

This trip to the Sun Moon Empire was full of ups and downs, and the process was even more exciting than their lives over the past twenty years. It was truly thrilling.

When everyone saw Shrek City in the distance and Shrek Academy next to it, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It's so good to be back!
Everyone felt like they were coming home. Compared to Mingdu, which was fraught with danger and where ambushes and deadly threats were everywhere, Shrek City was much more reassuring.

"Everyone must be exhausted these days. Take a good rest these few days and consolidate what you have gained and improved. I believe this will be of great benefit to your cultivation."

Jiang Ming stretched his arms and couldn't help but let out a lazy yawn.

The pressure on him during this trip to Mingdu was quite immense. Every day he was busy planning various strategies, including countering Xu Tianran's plans and considering the competition. He even nearly suffered a fatal blow in Mingdu himself. All of this happened in just one or two months, and even though his cultivation had reached level 95 Super Douluo, he was truly mentally exhausted.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Indeed, although this period has been very tiring, the gains have been enormous.

Especially the rewards for clearing the Valley of Love and Destiny. Although the process of clearing the dungeon was somewhat arduous, the increase in soul power by several levels saved them at least several months of hard training! They need to digest and consolidate their cultivation.

After saying their goodbyes, Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan returned to their small house.

Although the hotels in Mingdu are not bad, there's no place like home! Home is always the most comfortable!
Zhang Lexuan has entered the second test of the Moon Goddess assessment. With her current strength, she is capable of passing several tests in a row.

Previously, both in Mingdu and Qiankun Wenqing Valley, there were some dangers and it was not safe enough.

Now that she's back at Shrek Academy, she can focus on the divine assessment.

However, after asking around, Jiang Ming did not see Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen.

Jiang Ming wasn't worried about this at all; the two of them were smart enough not to put themselves in danger.

Either they are still undergoing divine trials, or they should be at the place of their respective gods' inheritance.

"Next, I'll rest for a few days, and then it's time to focus on my cultivation for a while."

Jiang Ming stood in the open space in front of the hut, looking at the rippling blue waters of the Sea God Lake, and his mind gradually calmed down.

Come to think of it, he hasn't spent much time seriously cultivating along the way.

Since entering Shrek Academy, he initially received cultivation boosts from the elves, making his cultivation speed more than three times that of other Soul Masters. After reaching the seventh ring and opening up a small world, the elves no longer provided cultivation boosts. However, he then entered the Valley of Love and Destiny and obtained the inheritance of a deity.
Thinking about all this, Jiang Ming couldn't help but laugh.

If this were a game, then he would probably be the one cheating.

The sun was shining brightly today, and Jiang Ming, watching the small fish leaping out of the water from time to time in Poseidon Lake, suddenly felt interested in casting a couple of lines.

He walked to the side of Poseidon Lake and, almost in the blink of an eye, used various elemental abilities to conjure up a fishing platform out of thin air next to the lake.

"Xiao Ming, I'll have a turn too!"

Elder Zhuang's voice rang out behind Jiang Ming. Elder Zhuang was already over a hundred years old, but with the improvement of his cultivation and the fact that his martial soul was the Tree of Life, he was getting younger and younger!
His originally gray hair has turned completely black, and the wrinkles on his face have decreased significantly, making him look about the same age as Yan Shaozhe.

"Elder Zhuang, you're back from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire?"

Jiang Ming was somewhat surprised.

Ever since Elder Zhuang was allowed to reside permanently in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he has almost always stayed there and rarely returns to the academy.

Firstly, the elemental energy of heaven and earth in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is extremely rich, which is very beneficial to his cultivation. Secondly, now that Elder Mu has not perished and Jiang Ming's strength has been restored, he has nothing to do in the academy, so he might as well study the immortal herbs of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

"Yes, we can't stay at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well forever. I calculated the days and knew the competition was almost over, so I came back to see you all. By the way, how did the competition go? I heard that Bei Bei, Huo Yuhao, and the others are representing the Tang Sect in the competition."

As he spoke, he conjured a thin bamboo pole out of thin air. Without even baiting it, he simply touched the hook lightly, leaving a green stain, and then cast it directly into the Sea God Lake.

"The competition was alright. The academy and Tang Sect made it to the finals, but for some reason, the finals didn't take place."

Jiang Ming said softly.

Since everyone who makes it to the finals is one of our own, there's no need to risk staying in Mingdu to fight that match.

Jiang Ming and Zhuang Lao chatted for a while, glancing occasionally at the fishing floats floating on the lake. Although, with their skill, they could feel even the slightest movement of the fishing rods and didn't need floats, fishing is all about the atmosphere and feeling.

Whether you catch anything or not, it's all irrelevant.

Jiang Ming glanced at the fish basket next to Old Zhuang.

One,
Another one,
Another one.
There's one more.
I am completely empty-handed.

No, the fish in Poseidon Lake are just having a run of bad luck with me, aren't they?!
Jiang Ming's originally calm mood suddenly turned unhappy, and he even wanted to go into the lake to catch fish!
Honestly, they don't give you any face at all!
Oh, no bait was used. That's fine then.

A yellow light flashed at Jiang Ming's fingertips, and a plump earthworm was hooked onto the fishing hook, which he then cast back into the water.

"Elder Zhuang, your cultivation level is now at level ninety-seven, right? Are you confident in breaking through to the limit?"

As a senior member of the Sea God Pavilion, Elder Zhuang's cultivation level is a level 95 Super Douluo, and he is at the peak of level 95.

Afterwards, he went to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Under the impact of the rich spiritual energy and life force of heaven and earth, he successfully broke through the bottleneck and reached the level of ninety-six.

Having spent these years at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Elder Zhuang had cultivated a good relationship with the immortal herbs. The herbs would occasionally help him improve his cultivation, resulting in another level increase for him, reaching level ninety-seven. A level ninety-seven healing-type Soul Master!
This is practically the pinnacle that support-type Soul Masters can achieve today!

After all, the support, food, and healing types of Soul Masters are the most difficult to cultivate among all Soul Masters.

Among all the titled Douluo in the world, these three types of Soul Masters are the rarest, and each one is a treasure.

"You brat, you're putting pressure on me as soon as I get back, aren't you?"

Old Zhuang laughed and scolded.

"Limit Douluo? I am a healing-type Soul Master. You must know how difficult it is to cultivate a healing-type Soul Master, right?"

He sighed.

"Let alone Limit Douluo, I would be satisfied if I could break through to level 97 and reach level 98 in my lifetime."

This is the truth.

Xuanzi's cultivation level had already broken through to level 98 a long time ago, but he still hasn't broken through to the Limit Douluo level. Even with Elder Mu, a true Limit Douluo, around, it's unknown when he will break through to the Limit Douluo level.

The path of a Limit Douluo cannot be taught; each Limit Douluo has their own unique path.

Moreover, level 98 healing-type Super Douluo are even rarer than level 99 Limit Douluo.

At least, in the entire Douluo Continent, there are only three Limit Douluo: Elder Mu, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui. But as far as Elder Zhuang is concerned, he has never seen a level 98 healing-type Super Douluo.

Jiang Ming shook his head when he heard what Elder Zhuang said.

"Elder Zhuang, don't say that. You might just break through to the Limit Douluo level. After all, you're much younger than Elder Xuan and the Poison Undying Sect Master, so your chances are pretty good. Besides, you should be the number one healing-type Soul Master in the world right now, right?"

It wasn't that he was putting pressure on Elder Zhuang; he genuinely believed that Elder Zhuang had a sliver of a chance to reach the Limit Douluo level.

Of course, the chances aren't particularly high.

The reason is simple: although Elder Zhuang's spirit ring configuration is the best, he does not have a single 100,000-year spirit ring!

It's not that you can't cultivate to the Limit Douluo level without a 100,000-year spirit ring, but relatively speaking, the chance is indeed much smaller than that of other spirit masters with 100,000-year spirit rings. Moreover, Elder Zhuang's healing-type spirit is also the kind that is very difficult to cultivate.

Hearing Jiang Ming's flattery, Elder Zhuang coughed lightly and said, "No, no, I am not worthy of the title of the number one healing-type soul master in the world."

Among healing-type Soul Masters, Wang Xian'er, the deputy head of the Royal Offering Hall of the Star Luo Empire, is stronger than me. She is the most powerful healing-type Soul Master in the world.

Her martial soul is the Healing Angel; to be honest, it's even slightly stronger than my Tree of Life martial soul.

Jiang Ming was taken aback upon hearing this.

"The deputy head of the Royal Offering Hall of the Star Luo Empire?"

Jiang Ming suddenly realized a problem.

He rose to power too quickly. Apart from the elders in his own Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion, the powerful figures from the Body Sect, and the ninth-level soul masters from the Sun Moon Empire and the evil soul masters from the Holy Spirit Cult, he was not familiar with the top experts from other forces on the continent.

"Old Zhuang, could you tell me about this Wang Xian'er?"

Since it's a leisurely time anyway, I might as well listen to Elder Zhuang talk about the powerful figures on this continent.

Previously, his process of getting to know a strong person was basically to fight them first, and he had never been this calm and collected before.

Old Zhuang looked at Jiang Ming and nodded slightly.

"Indeed, you are still too young and do not know much about the powerful figures on this continent. Let me tell you about them."

"This Wang Xian'er is the head of the Royal Offering Hall, a top-tier member of the Star Luo Empire, and a healing soul master whose cultivation has reached the Super Douluo level. As long as she has a breath left, she can bring the dead back to life and heal flesh and bones!"

"Her martial soul is a top-tier healing martial soul, the Healing Angel! She holds the title of the number one healing-type soul master in the world, which is almost universally acknowledged by the strong on the continent. Moreover, she is from the same era as Elder Mu, and I would have to address her as a senior if I met her."

"However, in the end she entered the Hall of Worship of the Star Luo Empire, and can be considered one of the last remaining elders of the Star Luo Empire, and has been protecting the Star Luo Empire ever since. If we calculate, she should be almost two hundred years old now. If her cultivation does not break through, her lifespan is estimated to be only ten or twenty years left."

Speaking of this, Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but sigh.

When he first entered Shrek Academy, Wang Xian'er was already a renowned healing-type Soul Master across the continent.

Now, he is very old, and the life of this legendary figure, Wang Xian'er, is also coming to an end.

It's really embarrassing.

"So the Star Luo Empire has this legendary figure."

Jiang Ming suddenly felt that he had learned something new.

"However, Elder Zhuang, this Wang Xian'er is not even two hundred years old and already only has ten or twenty years left to live. Even if she is a Super Douluo, her cultivation level should not be high, right? Level ninety-five?"

Elder Zhuang nodded and said, "When I last met her, she was still level 95. It's very difficult for a healing-type Soul Master to improve their cultivation level. If she hadn't had the same opportunity as me, she probably wouldn't have broken through yet."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming raised an eyebrow and said, "So, the Wang Xian'er you mentioned is the number one healing-type Soul Master in the world, that must have been when you were still at level 95, right? Even if the Healing Angel Martial Soul is stronger than your Tree of Life Martial Soul, you are now two levels higher in Soul Power than her, so how could you still be inferior?"

Upon hearing this, Old Zhuang was taken aback.

Yes, that's true.

The Healing Angel Martial Soul is stronger than his Tree of Life Martial Soul, but his current cultivation level is level 97! No matter how strong Wang Xian'er's Healing Angel Martial Soul is, he is still two levels higher in soul power! If Wang Xian'er's soul power cultivation hasn't broken through in recent years, then he truly...
"Xiao Ming, Elder Zhuang, Elder Xuan has called you over for a meeting."

Yan Shaozhe's voice interrupted their conversation.

He looked at the full basket of fish in Old Zhuang's basket, then at the empty basket in Jiang Ming's basket, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Xiao Ming, you haven't caught a single one?"

Jiang Ming glared, wanting to retort, but the empty fish basket was there.

Ugh.
"I wasn't lucky today. I'll put in more fish fry next time, and I'm sure I'll catch some!"

After saying that, Jiang Ming angrily put away his fishing rod, and the three of them walked together toward the Sea God Pavilion.
