Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 771 Multiple Actions, Big Shots Gather (Part 2)
Wang Qiu'er returned to the Star Dou Great Forest to search for the Gold of Life, while the elders also set off in different directions.

Elder Xuan and Elder Zhuang were not the only ones heading to the Heavenly Soul Empire; Elder Lin was also there.

Compared to Elder Xuan's mission of saving face and Elder Zhuang's professional mission, Elder Lin's mission was a more complex negotiation task.

It's unrealistic to expect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, a sect with a history spanning tens of thousands of years, to fully commit to helping them, even with the long-standing friendship between Shrek Academy and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

After all, a sect is a sect, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has a talent for business that is hard for ordinary people to match.

Businessmen make huge profits!

To persuade the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, you need to offer enough benefits!

Such interests cannot be eliminated by mere personal relationships. Even close brothers need to keep clear accounts, let alone two powerful forces.

Therefore, Elder Lin was mentally prepared to make a painful sacrifice in the negotiations with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Even though Shrek Academy already possesses considerable resources and connections, the Sea God Pavilion is willing to pay an extra price to ensure absolute success!

Outside Tiandou City, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's headquarters consisted of a large cluster of castle-like buildings, magnificent and luxurious, exuding an indescribable sense of oppression under the sunlight.

That's the heavy pressure that comes with wealth!
The castle complex is surrounded by a city wall.

Near the capital of the Heavenly Soul Empire, Heaven Dou City, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's territory is practically a completely independent small city.

This is simply unimaginable! But who can blame them? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School provided such immense support to the Heaven Dou Empire ten thousand years ago—a meritorious service that helped it rise to power! This support has continued to this day.

It can be said that as long as the Heavenly Soul Empire does not perish, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will not fall.

Even after the Heavenly Soul Empire fell, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School still stood strong!
On the city wall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School territory, guards dressed in full protective gear patrolled the area. Instead of carrying retro-style spears and bows, they carried soul-guided devices!
As a support-type Soul Master family, while supporting powerful Soul Masters to protect themselves, the development of Soul Tools has undoubtedly given them more options.

Or rather, because of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's unique vision, ten thousand years ago, their people's defensive methods changed from simple spears and bows to the powerful Tang Clan hidden weapons.

Now that soul tools have been developed, their methods have changed to various styles of soul tools.

It can be said that, compared to Shrek Academy, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, due to its own obvious flaws, is fully capable of keeping up with the development of the times and adapting accordingly.

Because of their terrifying ability to accumulate wealth, they never fall behind others in any era.

"what is that?"

The guards on the city wall spotted a black dot flying in from afar and immediately alerted their companions.

Before the guards could even react, Old Lin had already appeared in front of them.

"Lin Huiqun of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy pays respects to Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

Generally speaking, ordinary people would use the phrase "request an audience" to see the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but the senior members of the Sea God Pavilion clearly do not need to do so.

Even when Old Lin said this, there was not a trace of respect in his voice; it was just a normal tone.

She came to negotiate with the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, so she couldn't afford to be weak in terms of presence!
Upon hearing this, the guards on the city wall immediately picked up their soul-transmitting devices and notified the people inside the sect.

With their limited knowledge, they might be quite unfamiliar with the Sea God Pavilion, but even the reputation of Shrek Academy was enough for them to take it seriously!
Besides the elders who went to the Heavenly Soul Empire, Elder Song from the Star Luo Empire also arrived in Star Luo City at almost the same time.

As the most skilled agility-type Soul Master on the continent, Elder Song's speed has almost reached the limit that Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent can achieve!
Old Song did not rush directly into Star Luo City. Air defense systems had already been set up over the capitals of the major empires, and Soul Masters who wanted to fly in had to follow the rules.

Of course, these rules cannot restrain Elder Song, whose cultivation level has now reached level ninety-eight.

However, since she came here to ask the Star Luo Empire for a favor, it would be better to follow the proper procedures.

Upon entering Xingluo City, Old Song made a very clear decision and went straight to the Starlight Auction House.

Actually, the original process didn't have to be so complicated. If they wanted to contact the Star Luo Empire, they only needed to send a message, and Princess Jiu Jiu, who was in charge of intelligence work for the Star Luo Empire, would naturally go to Shrek Academy.

But now Elder Song has come in person, partly because the Star Luo Empire's Immortal Doctor Douluo Wang Xian'er is a senior from the same era as Elder Mu, and it is necessary to show respect to this senior.

On the other hand, as a staunch supporter of the Soul Guidance System within the Sea God Pavilion, Elder Song could take this opportunity to discuss cooperation with the Star Luo Empire regarding Soul Guidance Devices.

When Mr. Song arrived at the Starlight Auction House, Xu Jiujiu happened to be there.

After giving the briefing, Xu Jiujiu immediately invited Old Song to a private room at the Starlight Auction House.

Upon seeing that it was Elder Song, Xu Jiujiu was quite surprised.

She had been to the Sea God Pavilion and met some of its elders, including Elder Song, who was known as the greatest agility-type Soul Master in the world!
"Mr. Song, is there something you need from me?"

After a long while, he asked softly.

Old Master Song is one of the top-ranked figures in the Sea God Pavilion, so his sudden visit to Star Luo City to find her must mean he has something important to discuss.

Old Song looked at Xu Jiujiu with sharp eyes and said in a deep voice, "I have come here to borrow someone from the Star Luo Royal Family."

After a long while, his gaze sharpened.

In Shrek Academy City, just as dawn was breaking, sunlight pierced through the clouds and mist, illuminating the earth and bringing light to the world.

It's still early, and most people are still dreaming, but some have already started getting busy.

For breakfast shops in the city, the busiest time of day is about to begin. If they don't prepare everything in advance, they'll be in a frantic rush.

Inside Shrek Academy, neither the students meditating nor sleeping had woken up yet.

Shrek Academy has seen a significant increase in enrollment in recent years, but the competition has also become more intense.

Everyone here is a genius. Among geniuses, even a genius is just an ordinary person. To stand out, you can only work harder!
In the lakeside cottage, Zhang Lexuan pushed Jiang Ming in a wheelchair to the shore of Poseidon Lake, where they admired the sun slowly rising through the gaps between the academy buildings.

"Up so early, it's a pity we don't practice the Purple Demon Eye technique."

Zhang Lexuan looked at the rising sun in the distance and said softly.

Those who cultivate the Purple Demon Eyes must absorb pure purple energy at sunrise each morning to train their eyes.

Jiang Ming, in his wheelchair, smiled and looked at the distant sun. His eyes shimmered with golden light, and a flame rose in his pupils!
The Purple Demon Eye is cultivated by absorbing the purple energy of the rising sun. He hadn't learned it, but his Fiery Eyes were in no way inferior to the Purple Demon Eye!

Moreover, his Fiery Eyes were forged from the Sun God's Fire, so it's clear that he can cultivate using the power of the sun.

The flames flickered in his pupils, golden light surged in his eyes, and a wisp of scorching heat emanated from them. However, this scorching heat quickly disappeared.

Jiang Ming squinted, trying to ease the burning sensation in his eye sockets.

The sun's energy is not strongest in the early morning, and besides, his current physical condition does not support him cultivating for an extended period of time.

Zhang Lexuan sensed Jiang Ming's actions, but she did not stop him.

She knew that Jiang Ming was sensible.

Similarly, she knew that Jiang Ming must be very depressed to be confined to a wheelchair and unable to do anything. This feeling must be very uncomfortable, and doing something else to relieve his depression was a good idea.

What do you want to do today?

Zhang Lexuan lowered her head and said softly.

Jiang Ming thought for a moment and said, "I haven't had breakfast yet, let's go check out the cafeteria."

Zhang Lexuan frowned and said, "Old Zhuang said you can't eat normally now, you can only drink the prepared nutritional solution."

Given Jiang Ming's current condition, where he can only move his neck and above, if he eats and the food goes through his stomach, his injuries might worsen.

Jiang Ming said somewhat helplessly, "Look, it didn't say I wanted to eat it. I can just watch you eat it, Sister Lexuan."

He hadn't thought being injured was such a difficult thing before, after all, he had suffered all sorts of injuries countless times along the way.

But now that he really can't move, he realizes how fucking awful this state is!
Hearing Jiang Ming say this, Zhang Lexuan slowly nodded.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, who had been meditating all night, also came out of the small house.

Since becoming inheritors of the divine power, the two of them have not only not slacked off, but have instead worked even harder in their cultivation.

Liya swayed her hips, dragging her golden fishtail along as she yawned and approached the group.

Mermaids live a similar lifestyle to humans, but not many of them get up early in the morning. As the overlords of the icy sea, before they came into contact with humans, the mermaids led a very leisurely life.

"Liya, are you sleeping well?"

Zhang Lexuan looked at Liya and asked softly.

According to her own understanding, she built a large bathtub for Liya's room, and even asked Ling Luochen to get some ice blocks specifically for the icy sea environment.

Zhang Lexuan took great care of the newly joined soul beast sisters.

Liya nodded and said, "Hmm, it's alright."

This room on land was naturally not as comfortable as her palace in the icy sea, but she could feel Zhang Lexuan's thoughtfulness.

Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan smiled and said, "I hope you're comfortable here. If there's anything you're not used to, just let me know. By the way, I'm taking Jiang Ming to the cafeteria for lunch. Do you want to come?"

Liya frowned: "My husband can't right now."

Jiang Ming had no choice but to say again, "I can't eat, but I can watch you eat and take a walk around."

If he could cultivate, he could calm down and stay still in one place, but with his current body, cultivating would kill him, and staying still is too boring, so he can only wander around.

Hearing Jiang Ming say that, Liya nodded: "Then wait for me a moment, I'll change my form."

Lia's mermaid form is too conspicuous at Shrek Academy. To avoid any misunderstandings, it would be better to change her form.

Soon, Liya appeared in a navy blue dress, which, combined with her long navy blue hair, gave her a clean and stunning look.

Zhang Lexuan pushed Jiang Ming's wheelchair, with Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen walking on either side of it like bodyguards. Liya, on the other hand, was visiting Seagod Island for the first time. She had only visited the Seagod Pavilion yesterday and then came directly to the lakeside cottage. She was not familiar with Seagod Island and was curiously looking around at the various sights on the island.

The combination of four stunningly beautiful women and a man in a wheelchair seemed so out of place at Shrek Academy.

But when the inner court students who got up early to go to the cafeteria curiously peeked at the man in the wheelchair, wanting to see which bastard had monopolized so many beautiful women, they were immediately relieved.

After seeing the Great Demon King's face, they were not surprised at all.

The Great Demon King? That's normal, perfectly normal!

The inner disciples still remember the terrifying scene at the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event, where the Great Demon King was surrounded by nine girls.

Compared to that, there are only four now, which is already a show of leniency.

However, everyone was still very curious as to why the Great Demon King was sitting in a wheelchair.
You know, the current Great Demon King is the honorary master of the Sea God Pavilion! The previous master, Elder Mu, had to lie in a wheelchair because of old injuries. Could it be that the Great Demon King is also in that situation?
What a strange tradition this is!

Everyone was filled with doubt, but since they weren't familiar with the Great Demon King, they were too embarrassed to ask. Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming, who were also there for dinner, didn't have so many reservations.

The two of them walked confidently to Jiang Ming and the others, and after glancing at Jiang Ming, their eyes immediately fell on Liya!

"Senior Sister, she..."

Han Ruoruo narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at Liya with a hint of wariness.

Now that she has reached the level of a Title Douluo, she can see through Liya's true nature as a 100,000-year-old soul beast at a glance!
It was only because Liya was with Zhang Lexuan, and because Liya was able to enter Seagod Island and move freely without being caught by the elders, that they did not take action immediately.

Jiang Ming looked at Han Ruoruo and said softly, "Liya is my wife, just like Sister Lexuan."

When others ask about Liya's identity, the person who needs to respond first is not Zhang Lexuan, but Jiang Ming.

After all, in terms of direct relationship, Liya and Jiang Ming are the closest! In addition, Liya came to the human world in the form of a soul beast, and she lacks a sense of security, so she needs Jiang Ming's repeated statements even more.

Upon hearing this, Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming's eyes widened immediately!

"She...she's your wife? But she's a ghost."

Han Ruoruo was about to say the words "soul beast" when she realized it was inappropriate and immediately stopped herself.

But she still looked very shocked.

Good heavens, isn't this a bit too fancy?!
