Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 766 Shrek Academy
Jiang Ming readily agreed to the Sea Princess's request.

However, Jiang Ming's expression turned somewhat strange when he heard the second request.

In other words, Liya is still in her soul beast form and has not yet transformed into a human. In this case, is there a possibility that he and Liya would be reproductively isolated?

This is a question worth thinking about.

If there really is reproductive isolation, then unless Lia transforms into a human, the Sea Princess's plan will likely fall through.

However, even without reproductive isolation, the sea princess's idea would probably not be possible.

After all, Jiang Ming had his own ideas about having children.

Children born to gods can stay directly in the God Realm, but it is difficult for children born on the Douluo Continent to be brought to the God Realm.

Of course, Jiang Ming believed that his child could become a god through his own efforts, but being born into the divine realm would give him a higher starting point. He believed the Sea Princess could understand this.

But there's still one problem.

Originally, Zhang Lexuan, Ma Xiaotao, and Ling Luochen all possessed divine inheritances.

The Snow Empress is his spirit, and they have merged their souls. So naturally, she will be able to enter the realm of gods with him.

But what about Liya?
Find a divine inheritance for Liya? That's incredibly difficult. Divine inheritances aren't something you can just find anywhere.

The last time he asked Dai Mubai to help Zhang Lexuan find a place for divine inheritance was already the limit. If he were to ask for it again, it would be really unreasonable.

But what will Liya do if she doesn't inherit the divine power?
Will it become his spirit like Xue Di?

That's actually acceptable, since his Golden Heart Martial Soul still has one more Soul Ring slot.

just
This ninth spirit ring is part of the divine assessment. It was assigned to be the spirit ring of the Evil Eye Tyrant. Can it be replaced with Liya's?
To make Jiang Ming more comfortable, the group decided to have Liya put a bubble over him so he could fly close to the sea surface.

The small boat they used to come here was smashed to pieces by the sea spirit beasts, but now that they have found Jiang Ming, with everyone's cultivation level above Super Douluo, flying back directly shouldn't be a problem.

However, when the group returned, they did not choose to go back the way they came, but instead headed towards the depths of the icy sea and the far north.

They came from the Sun Moon Empire and didn't encounter any major accidents along the way, but now that they have brought a seriously injured Jiang Ming with them, they have to be careful!
As for why the far north is safer than the Sun and Moon Empire.
To put it simply, after the departure of the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor, the most powerful force in the far north is the Titan Snow Demon King, who has cultivated for 300,000 years.

With the strength of everyone present, even though this place is the far north, the Titan Snow Demon King, with his cultivation level, could be absolutely suppressed!

Of course, the most important thing is that this far north region poses almost no danger to Jiang Ming.

Titan Snow Demon King had already seen him when he last came to the Far North, or rather, when Snow Empress returned last time, all the powerful soul beasts in the Far North came and knew about his close relationship with Snow Empress. So even though Snow Empress's soul has not yet awakened, these powerful soul beasts in the Far North will not attack Jiang Ming.

And that was indeed the case. While crossing the far north, the group encountered some hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts from the far north, but these hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts immediately hid when they saw Jiang Ming.

Of course, some 100,000-year-old soul beasts also took the initiative to approach, wanting to see the Snow Empress, but the Snow Empress's soul was still in a coma at the moment, so naturally she could not come out to see these soul beasts.

The spirit beasts were somewhat disappointed not to see the Snow Empress, but they did nothing to the group and simply left.

The far north is vast, a landscape of white snow and shimmering ice crystals, both beautiful and desolate.

To take care of Jiang Ming, who was seriously injured, the group traveled very slowly in the far north. It took them a whole day from entering the far north to leaving it!
When Jiang Ming stepped out of the far north and saw the incredibly familiar city not far away, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

After crossing the far north, you will arrive at Qingshui City. From afar, you can see the three characters "Qingshui City" on the city gate, which have been wiped clean and are extremely clear.

"Should we go back and take a look?"

Zhang Lexuan asked softly.

Jiang Ming shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Sister Lexuan, in my current state, going back would only worry Lao Nie and Aunt Lan. Let's go back to the academy first and come back after I've recovered from my injuries."

As people grow older, they tend to lick their wounds alone when they are hurt. It's not that they are alone, but that they don't want to show their wounds to those who care about them and make them worry.

Perhaps this can be considered a kind of growth.

"Ah."

Zhang Lexuan nodded, then took out some things to cover her face from her storage soul tool.

Mu Lao's poison was not used unless he was dead, so no one in Qingshui City recognized the two of them. Jiang Ming, with Zhang Lexuan's help, put on a golden mask.

Given Jiang Ming's current state, once he puts on the mask, practically no one will recognize him.

Zhang Lexuan herself, along with Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, and Liya, put on straw hats and veils.

It's worth mentioning that when she entered the far north, Lia had already transformed herself into human form!
When a soul beast's cultivation level breaks through 100,000 years, it can choose to continue cultivating or transform into a human. If it chooses to continue cultivating as a soul beast, it will basically be unable to transform into human form until its cultivation level becomes strong enough.

But Liya is different. Mermaids have many similarities to humans in terms of body shape, and Liya also possesses the divinely bestowed golden bloodline, so maintaining her human form for a period of time is not a problem.

Of course, after transforming into human form, Liya also changed into the clothes that Zhang Lexuan had given her.

It was a long blue and white dress woven from ice silkworm silk. It was made from the ten-thousand-year-old ice silkworm silk that Meng Bing spat out before she transformed into a dragon. Even for Zhang Lexuan, it was the last one.

Soon, the group entered Qingshui City.

It was evening, and smoke began to rise from every household in Qingshui City. Children playing on the snow-sweeped roads were attracted by the rising smoke and skipped home without their parents calling them, eager to see what delicious food awaited them that day.

Jiang Ming and his group did not walk fast. Since they had already concealed themselves, there was no need to rush.

"There's a city like this in the far north? It looks very developed. There are more soul tools on the city walls than in my sect."

"Poison Never Dies!" Du Bu Si exclaimed in surprise.

As the then sect leader of the Heavenly Soul Empire's national protection sect, he had never known that there was such a city in the northern part of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Jiang Ming smiled but remained silent.

The far north is already desolate, and the Heavenly Soul Empire had been guarding against the Sun Moon Empire, placing most of its military forces on the border with the Sun Moon Empire. Naturally, Clear Water City did not receive much attention and was not well-known in the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Even now, although Qingshui City has developed, it is not very famous.

The limitations are there; for the vast majority of Soul Masters, the far north is a place they will never visit in their lifetime. And for ordinary people, the living conditions there are indeed too harsh to be suitable for long-term residence. The group continued walking, heading from the north gate towards the south gate.

As Jiang Mingchao passed by the city lord's mansion, he glanced inside and saw Old Nie and Aunt Lan eating in the courtyard.

As if sensing something, Aunt Lan and Old Nie put down their bowls and chopsticks and glanced at the door, but Jiang Ming and his group had already gone far away.

After leaving Qingshui City, the group did not speed up their journey, but instead maintained their pace and slowly headed towards the academy.

During this time, when they reached the vicinity of the Body Sect, Poison Undying bid farewell and left.

He was, after all, the sect leader of the Body Sect; he couldn't just abandon such a large sect.

A day after Poison Immortal left, the group finally returned to Shrek Academy.

As soon as they arrived in front of Shrek City, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, who had already received the news, appeared in unison.

When the elders saw Jiang Mingzhen sitting in a wheelchair, needing assistance to walk, they were almost simultaneously enraged!
While they were furious, the elders all turned their attention to Liya, who was standing next to Jiang Ming.

Elder Xuan's eyes narrowed, and a yellowish-brown light flickered in them.

"One hundred thousand year soul beast?!"

Although Liya is currently in human form, that can only fool soul masters below the Soul Saint level. However, any one of the elders is a Super Douluo of level 95 or above, and they can see the soul beast aura on Liya at a glance!

Feeling the gazes of Elder Xuan and the other elders, Liya trembled slightly, her fair and delicate arms gripping the back of Jiang Ming's wheelchair tightly, as if only in this way could she feel a sense of security.

Strong!
Many powerful human beings!
These were all powerful human opponents she couldn't possibly defeat! How terrifying!
If we don't count the time she was taken to land by the evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult, this can be said to be Liya's first time coming into contact with the human world.

Along the way, she had seen some cities in the human world, and the humans there did not seem to be very strong; there were almost no humans stronger than her.

But once she arrived here, the terrifyingly powerful individuals she encountered truly frightened her.

Even among the merfolk, there aren't that many powerful individuals!

These ancient-looking humans exuded an aura comparable to, or even stronger than, that of the Grand Elder!

terrible!

"Elders, Liya is not an enemy."

Jiang Ming said softly.

He wanted to reach out and hold Liya's hand to soothe her fear, but he could only move his neck and above freely, and couldn't even do something as simple as raising his hand.

However, Jiang Ming couldn't lift his hand, so Zhang Lexuan took his place, holding Liya's hand and gently comforting her.

Liya has 100,000 years of cultivation, but the intelligence of a 100,000-year-old soul beast is actually about the same as that of a teenager in human form.

According to this algorithm, Zhang Lexuan is considered an older sister to Liya.

Hearing Jiang Ming say this, the hostility in the elders' eyes gradually dissipated, but they were still very puzzled.

Why would Jiang Ming bring back a 100,000-year-old soul beast?

Yan Shaozhe, Cai Meier, Xian Liner, and Qian Duoduo, the four deans of the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department, stepped forward together to look at Jiang Ming and see what was going on. A figure moved even faster.

Old Zhuang stood directly in front of Jiang Ming, put his hand on Jiang Ming's shoulder to check the situation.

He did not directly use his life force to treat Jiang Ming. Not all injuries can be effectively treated with life force. As a healing-type Soul Master, he must understand the other person's physical condition before treating them.

Soon, Elder Zhuang figured out the extent of Jiang Ming's injuries.

But as he assessed the extent of the injury, his kind face immediately darkened.

"Xiao Ming, did you self-destruct with injuries like that?!"

This kind of injury, which spread from the inside out, was not only severe, but also covered every corner of Jiang Ming's body. It was very similar to the injury caused by self-destruction of one's origin!

Jiang Ming said with a wry smile, "Old Zhuang, this is a long story."

His injuries do indeed resemble a self-destruction, and it wouldn't be wrong to define them as such, since it's a collapse caused by the body's inability to withstand the fusion of divine power.

Elder Mu said in a deep voice, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go back to the Sea God Pavilion first."

Many people in Shrek City have already noticed this, so it's best not to let too many people know about Jiang Ming's current situation.

Upon hearing this, the four deans immediately drove away the people around them, while the other elders escorted Jiang Ming into the academy, across the Sea God Lake, and back to the Sea God Pavilion.

As they entered the Sea God Pavilion, the elders still glanced at Liya.

After seeing Elder Mu nod, the elders did not stop Liya from following into the Sea God Pavilion.

However, this is the first time in all the years since the Sea God Pavilion was founded that a 100,000-year-old soul beast has entered this place.

Inside the Sea God Pavilion, all the elders had arrived. Seeing the uniform look of confusion in their eyes, Jiang Ming simply recounted everything that had happened since he left the academy.

Logically, this should be a secret, but the elders in the Sea God Pavilion are all trustworthy people, so there is no need to hide it from them.

After listening to Jiang Ming recount the entire process, the elders gasped in shock and remained speechless for a long time.

Having cultivated to their current level of strength, the elders possessed considerable knowledge and experience, but after hearing Jiang Ming recount these thrilling events, they all felt as if their horizons had been broadened.

"He killed the Evil Eye Tyrant, ranked second among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, and even fought a direct battle with the Grim Reaper! Junior Brother, what are you doing?"

Yan Shaozhe was at a loss for words. Jiang Ming was already incredibly powerful, but now he was directly fighting against the gods in the heavens. This was simply too abnormal!

Jiang Ming shook his head and said, "Senior brother, the Evil Lord is not dead yet. He is currently sealed in my small world by the Snow Emperor. If I want to kill him completely and complete the assessment, I will have to wait until my injuries are fully healed."
