Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Several princes of the Heavenly Soul Empire were arguing in front of Vina, hoping to use her connections to recruit Jiang Ming, a powerful figure, to their side. They believed that if they could win Jiang Ming over, their throne would be practically guaranteed!
Even though it's not an easy thing, it's the throne! They have to fight for it!
As for Vina, she is just a princess after all, and she has already been used as a tool for a political marriage, getting engaged to Long Aotian, the young sect leader of the Body Sect. Even though her relationship with Jiang Ming is okay, and she is even in charge of the cooperation with Shrek Academy, she still cannot get her hands on the throne.

However, when they heard the voice coming from outside, their faces turned ugly.

They were familiar with the owner of the voice, and there were only a handful of people who could speak like that in front of them, the princes.

Outside the palace, Du Bu Si led Long Ao Tian in.

"You can't be poisoned, senior!"

The Body Sect is now the guardian sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and Poison Undying is naturally the national advisor of the Heavenly Soul Empire!
The position of Imperial Advisor is something they also need to strive for.

However, it was clear that Du Bu Si did not have a good attitude towards these princes. They were all only interested in vying for power and would do anything to get the position. If these people became emperors of the Heavenly Soul Empire, it would bring no benefit to the Heavenly Soul Empire.

If it were according to his old temper, he would have slapped these annoying guys out the door!

But now, after all, he is the Grand Preceptor of the Heavenly Soul Empire, so he has to give the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family some face.

"I know exactly what you're thinking, but I advise you not to have any improper thoughts about Jiang Ming. He won't be recruited by you, nor will he get involved in the power struggles within the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family. If you go and anger him, even I can't guarantee you'll come back alive!"

"Poison Never Dies" said in a threatening tone.

With Jiang Ming's current strength, killing a few princes would be as easy as lifting a finger.

Jiang Ming might show leniency out of respect for the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family, but if you really anger Jiang Ming, the entire Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family will suffer the consequences!
Moreover, these guys were truly useless; they were all only concerned with their own interests and simply caused Vina trouble.

"But Imperial Advisor, I don't know how."

The oldest prince, who had been designated as the crown prince, still wanted to try his luck.

Poison Undying glanced at him coldly and said in a deep voice, "It's enough for me to accompany Vina. As the Crown Prince, you should think more about how to govern the country and how to deal with other empires."

As he spoke, he looked at Vina standing to the side.

"Vina, let's go. I also need to go to Shrek Academy."

It's been almost a month, and the injuries inflicted by Jiang Ming's million-year soul skill have almost fully healed.

This trip to Shrek Academy was partly to accompany Vina to see Jiang Ming, but also to visit someone else.

After becoming a Limit Douluo, he was dealt a blow by Jiang Ming. He had to get his revenge on someone else!

Xuanzi is a good candidate!
Moreover, he brought Long Aotian along this time.

A few years ago, Long Aotian participated in the competition with a cultivation level of seven Soul Saints. Now, Long Aotian's cultivation level has reached Soul Douluo! He is advancing towards becoming a Title Douluo!

When Long Aotian's cultivation reaches the level of a Title Douluo, there is a certain probability that his original martial soul skin will undergo a transformation, becoming a Golden Second Awakening!

Of course, the probability is relatively small. The highest probability of a Gold-level second awakening for one's original martial soul is during the first second awakening. The probability of awakening a Gold-level martial soul decreases further with each subsequent awakening.

The Body Sect naturally has methods to help Long Aotian increase the probability of his second awakening as a Gold Saint when breaking through to the Title Douluo level, but it would be excellent to ask Jiang Ming if there are other ways to increase the probability.

The higher the probability, the further Long Aotian can go on the path to becoming a Title Douluo.

"Ok!"

Vina nodded and followed Poison Undying out of the palace, without much preparation.

She had been to Shrek City, where the hotels had everything they needed, so she didn't need to pack much.

Watching the departing figure of the invincible dragon Vina, the eyes of the many princes in the palace turned somewhat gloomy.

"Big brother, Vina is increasingly disregarding us older brothers because of her marriage agreement with the Body Sect!"

"A prince said in a deep voice."

The Crown Prince glanced at him and said, "Vina is my sister, so naturally she doesn't have to be treated like an ordinary person. Since the Imperial Preceptor has accompanied Vina, let's go back first."

He flicked the sleeve of his golden robe and left with his guards.

He wouldn't let his younger brothers drag him down with him.

Although Vina poses little threat to their struggle for the throne, offending her would be a huge problem in the future!

With all the princes unable to win over Jiang Ming and Vina, he, as the crown prince, was the most likely person to inherit the throne!
The farce ended badly, but the struggle between the royal families of the Heavenly Soul Empire will not stop.

Meanwhile, Du Bu Si, along with Long Ao Tian and Vina, flew towards Shrek Academy.

"Vina, the rest of them..."

Long Aotian looked at Vina with some worry.

Vina shook her head and said, "I'm fine. Although it's annoying that they're arguing back and forth, none of them dare to lay a hand on me."

Royal struggles are always brutal; these princes are capable of anything for the throne!

However, Vina is backed by the Body Sect. Anyone who attacks Vina will face the wrath of the Body Sect and Poison Undying, which is clearly not worth it.

Poison Immortal sighed softly and said, "On the royal side, apart from you, Vina, among the princes, only the Crown Prince is somewhat decent, but even he's far from being good enough."

Now that the Body Sect has become the guardian sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire, its fate is now intertwined with that of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

In this situation, whether the future emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire will be a wise ruler is also very important to the Body Sect.

Unfortunately, he has yet to see a truly capable prince in the current Heavenly Soul Empire royal family.

However, he was not in a hurry. After breaking through to the Limit Douluo level, his lifespan could be extended by several decades.

He can wait for one more generation over several decades.

Du Busi led Long Aotian and Vina southward to Shrek Academy, while Xu Jiujiu, after making some preparations, was also led northward to Shrek Academy by Dark Thunder Douluo, the Hall Master of the Star Luo Empire's Hall of Worship.

After witnessing Jiang Ming's tribulation, Dark Thunder Douluo gained new insights into martial souls and even faintly touched the threshold of level 98!

Although with his talent, reaching level 99 is basically hopeless, level 98 is still one of the top powerhouses on the continent!
Of course, reaching level 98 isn't an easy barrier to overcome. Even with the potential, he still needs time and opportunity. Because the distances from Heaven Dou City and Star Luo City to Shrek Academy are different, and they weren't in a rush, even though Xu Jiujiu was slightly slower and the Dark Thunder Douluo leading the group was two levels behind Poison Undying, they arrived at Shrek Academy around the same time.

"Sister Jiu Jiu, it's been a long time."

After seeing Xu Jiujiu, Vina immediately went up to greet him.

Although they are princesses of two different empires, they have known each other for so long that they can still get along as sisters as long as it is not related to national interests.

“Sister Vina.”

After a long while, he hugged Vina and glanced at Du Bu Si and Long Ao Tian behind her.

She knew that Long Aotian was Vina's fiancé, after all, he was the princess of the Star Luo Empire who controlled intelligence.

She felt a little envious. Princess Vina, who was five years younger than her, had a cultivation level similar to hers, a fiancé, and was backed by the powerful Body Sect.

While Vina was scrutinizing Du Busi and Long Aotian for a long time, she was also observing An Lei Douluo.

Or rather, both sides were sizing each other up immediately.

Dark Thunder Douluo looked at Poison Undying with a hint of wariness, after all, the Body Sect's past actions had not earned it a good reputation.

Moreover, the Poison Undying's strength is indeed extremely powerful!
Poison Undying merely glanced at Dark Thunder Douluo.

Having already surpassed the level 99 Limit Douluo, he looked down on Dark Thunder Douluo, a level 97 Super Douluo.

Don't be fooled by the mere two levels of soul power difference between level 97 and level 99; those two levels of soul power are practically the difference between a chasm and a chasm.

If the level 99 Poison Undying wants to defeat or even kill Dark Thunder Douluo, he won't need to make more than ten moves!
After some polite greetings, the two groups landed outside Shrek Academy and headed into the academy.

If they don't need to maintain relationships, they can simply fly in from the sky; that would be considered barging into someone's home without prior notice, which is impolite.

In this situation, it's clear that some politeness is still necessary.

"Vina, why do you think Jiang Ming called us both over here this time?"

Walking on the tiled path inside Shrek Academy, Xu Jiujiu and Vina began to discuss things.

Vina shook her head slightly and said, "I'm not very clear about that. The information I received was that he invited me to come here. But since he invited both of us at the same time, it must be related to the two great empires behind us."

If someone else had invited the two princesses, they might have had other guesses, but Jiang Ming...
"Yeah, I wonder what he's up to this time."

Jiang Ming was the one who planned the military soul tool business of Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department. By doing soul tool business with the three major empires, the entire Soul Guidance Department gained a lot of profits in a very short period of time, thereby promoting the development of the Soul Guidance Department in all aspects.

While the situation on the mainland is still far from peaceful, the actions of the Sun Moon Empire have slowed down considerably compared to before.

At this point in time, everyone is seeking peaceful development.

The three great empires need to accumulate strength during times of peace, and the Sun and Moon Empire needs to do the same.

"Stop guessing, Poseidon Island is right across the street, just go and ask."

"Poison Undying said in a deep voice."

As they spoke, the group arrived at the edge of Poseidon Lake.

Just as everyone was about to fly over, golden lotus flowers suddenly drifted down the lake and landed in front of them.

When they saw these golden lotus flowers, both Poison Immortal and Dark Thunder Douluo's eyes narrowed sharply!
This golden lotus is not some rare and precious material, but is constructed from extremely pure and condensed soul power!

They could actually do this too, but...
These golden lotuses showed no sign of leaking soul power! There was even some life force pulsating within them, and the petals swayed in the wind, looking no different from real lotuses.

If one's cultivation level hadn't reached that of a Title Douluo, it would be impossible to tell whether this was real or fake.

"Jiang Ming's control over soul power is getting stronger and stronger."

Poison Undying sighed inwardly.

When he sparred with Jiang Ming in the sky above Tiandou City last time, although he was injured by Jiang Ming's million-year soul skill, he also saw some problems with Jiang Ming.

That is because his soul power cultivation improved too quickly, and he jumped two levels of soul power in succession, namely levels ninety-eight and ninety-nine. This made Jiang Ming's control over his rapidly increasing soul power and soul skills much weaker.

Clearly, Jiang Ming himself was aware of this problem. This almost real golden lotus, solidified with soul power, was the result of Jiang Ming constantly honing his control over his soul power!
"Gentlemen, you've been waiting for quite some time."

Jiang Ming's voice suddenly appeared in the group's ears.

The voice was very soft, like a gentle breeze, and there was no fright whatsoever.

The group exchanged glances and quickly stepped onto the golden lotus platform.

After everyone stood on it, the golden lotus platform began to float slowly, drifting towards Seagod Island.

As the golden lotus platform floated, everyone was surprised to find that a trace of pure life force was emanating from it!

Moreover, in addition to the life force, there was also a trace of golden-red blood energy. The two energies merged and formed a tiny vortex around the lotus platform that could absorb the surrounding天地元力 (heaven and earth energy).

Almost instantly, the concentration of the elemental energy on the lotus platform doubled!
"This kid has this trick up his sleeve?"

Poison Undying was secretly surprised. Jiang Ming, that kid, always manages to come up with something interesting!

As the primordial energy of heaven and earth gathered around the lotus platform, commotion also arose beneath the Sea God Lake.

Fish of different colors emerged from the water of the Sea God Lake. After sensing the flow of the energy of heaven and earth, they followed the lotus platform and swam towards the Sea God Island.

Xu Jiujiu and Vina looked at the fish guarding the lotus platform with some surprise: "These fish are actually soul beasts! They must have cultivated for a hundred years!"

While the two women were still marveling at how these fish were hundred-year-old soul beasts, Poison Undying and Dark Thunder Douluo had already turned their attention to the deeper parts of Sea God Lake.

It seems that there are more than just hundred-year-old soul beasts in this Sea God Lake!
At the same time, a huge shadow slowly rose from the bottom of Lake Poseidon to the surface. (End of Chapter)
