Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 710 Yun Ming's Wife and Daughters

"Chang Kong, did you bring your students here to take this opportunity to return to the academy?" Shen Yi asked Wu Chang Kong with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Wu Changkong slowly shook his head. "I just hope my student can enter the academy. Once he's settled, I'll leave."

The white-haired woman, Shen Yi, slightly shifted her gaze. "Do you really never want to go back to the academy? Do you know how heartbroken your teacher was after you left?"

A flicker of pain flashed in Wu Changkong's eyes. "I'm sorry, teacher. I have no face to go back."

Shen Yi said, "So, you're just sending this student you've trained to the academy and handing him over to the teachers as compensation?"

Wu Changkong remained silent.

"How is Long Bing?" Seeing that Wu Changkong didn't speak, Shen Yi took the initiative to change the subject.

After rescuing Wu Changkong and Long Bing, Qian Renxue claimed that they had been attacked by a Super Douluo-level evil soul master.

This terrified Zhuo Shi and Shen Yi, but when they pressed Qian Renxue for more details, she refused to answer.

"She's doing well." When Long Bing was mentioned, a smile appeared on Wu Changkong's usually icy face.

The smile on Wu Changkong's face was almost blinding to Shen Yi. She had once liked Wu Changkong, but it was impossible for them to be together anymore.

However, when she learned that Wu Changkong and Long Bing were both well, the huge weight that had been hanging over her heart finally lifted.

"So you want your disciple to take the Shrek Academy entrance exam right now? You should know that now is not the time for the exam," Shen Yi said.

Although Shrek Academy's status is not what it used to be, it is still one of the top academies in the empire and still has some autonomy in student recruitment.

Wu Changkong was also in a dilemma. He desperately hoped that Tang Wulin could join Shrek Academy, because he did not want Shrek Academy to lose such a promising talent.

"Can you think of a way?" Wu Changkong remained silent for a long time before speaking softly, but Shen Yi could see a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Seeing this, Shen Yi's lips curled into a smile. "Can I take that as you asking for help now? Even the arrogant Tian Bingwu Changkong has learned to ask for help?"

Faced with Shen Yi's teasing, Wu Changkong nodded very seriously.

Seeing that Wu Changkong was so serious, Shen Yi also put away his joking thoughts and said, "I'll go ask the teacher and see if he can make an exception."

"But don't get your hopes up too high. You know how teachers are; they're incredibly rigid."

"Thank you," Wu Changkong said earnestly.

...

Not long after, Shen Yi returned and said, "Chang Kong, the teacher agreed, but since it's a last-minute addition to the assessment, it will definitely be more difficult."

Wu Changkong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and said, "No problem, I have confidence in him."

Seeing Wu Changkong's confidence, Shen Yi stopped mentioning the matter of safety and instead said, "However, the teacher wants you to come along too."

Wu Changkong was taken aback for a moment, then slowly nodded.

His initial plan was simply to hand Tang Wulin over to Zhuoshi, believing that the elders of Shrek Academy would be able to see just how talented Tang Wulin was.

They will definitely try every means to get him to join Shrek Academy, and Wu Changkong also believes that with Shrek Academy's strength and foundation, they will definitely be able to impress Tang Wulin.

And when that time comes, he can leave without a trace, concealing his merits and fame.

But since Zhuoshi asked him to go along, he naturally wouldn't panic; he had confidence in Tang Wulin.

Just as Tang Wulin was meditating, Wu Changkong returned. Sensing Wu Changkong's return, Tang Wulin immediately ended his meditation, only to see Wu Changkong enter with a woman with long white hair.

"Wu Lin, let me introduce you. This is your martial uncle, Shen Yi," Wu Changkong introduced directly.

"Greetings, Uncle-Master!" Tang Wulin said obediently.

Shen Yi's eyes lit up. It wasn't that Tang Wulin surprised her, but since Wu Changkong acknowledged that she was Tang Wulin's senior uncle, it meant that he had implicitly agreed to a master-disciple relationship with Zhuo Shi.

With Shen Yi leading the way, they naturally moved freely within Shrek Academy. However, since officially entering Shrek Academy, Shen Yi's pace has noticeably slowed down.

This was naturally Wu Changkong's request; he hoped that Tang Wulin could fully experience the atmosphere of Shrek Academy and fall in love with it.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, but along with Tang Wulin and his group came a tour group that was visiting Shrek Academy.

In any case, Shrek Academy is a famous historical site, and naturally attracts a large number of history and artifact enthusiasts to visit it.

After the One Year War, Shrek Academy completely lost its independence. While it was no longer a place where just anyone could enter, it could not completely refuse visitors to come and tour.

Tang Wulin's steps froze the moment he stepped into the school gate—in the center of the square, two female statues, even more imposing than the teaching building, stood silently.

Their floor-length gowns were adorned with what appeared to be flowing gold patterns, and the folds of their draped skirts seemed to hold starlight. But what was even more breathtaking was the back of the statue:

A three-headed dragon coiled and intertwined, its three heads holding an olive branch, a book, and a torch respectively. Its scales gleamed with a cold, hard metallic luster in the sunlight, and the outstretched arc of its wings almost covered half the sky.

Tang Wulin subconsciously tilted his head back, even his breathing became lighter. He felt that the statue's eyes seemed to contain the power to penetrate time, and together with the three-headed dragon behind it, they left a hot and shocking mark on Tang Wulin's eyes, making him forget the next step he was about to take.

Just then, the tour guide's voice rang out from the side, "Everyone, please look at these two statues in front of you."

"Those familiar with history will surely recognize that these two statues are His Majesty the current Emperor, the Abandoned Heaven Douluo, Qian Gu Huang Yu, and the former Deputy Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, the then Royal Steward, the Dragon God Douluo Gu Yue Na."

"More than seventy years ago, after His Majesty disappeared, Shrek Academy and Tang Sect harbored wolfish ambitions and wanted to invade the entire Douluo Continent."

"Ultimately, it was forcefully suppressed by His Majesty and His Majesty the Dragon God during the Shrek Campaign, preventing even greater casualties."

"It was also on that occasion that His Majesty killed the bandit leader who had poisoned the continent, Long Yeyue, the Light and Dark Douluo, and Chen Xinjie, the Vast Ocean Douluo, who were then acting heads of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy."

"However, even though Shrek Academy has committed such a grave mistake, His Majesty has remembered some of Shrek Academy's contributions to the continent and has not exterminated Shrek Academy."

"After dealing with some war criminals, His Majesty, with a magnanimous heart and a compassionate soul, pardoned Shrek and his allies for many crimes."

"His Majesty's good intentions have certainly not been in vain. In the end, under His Majesty's strong leadership, Shrek Academy realized its mistakes."

"They abandoned their unrealistic fantasies and eventually became a good college that provides quality education to the people."

"At that time, Yun Ming, the newly appointed head of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, was grateful for His Majesty's teachings to Shrek Academy, and specially erected a statue in his honor."

The tour guide's voice was loud, and Tang Wulin could hear it clearly. He listened with great interest; this was the first time he had ever known that his teacher had done so much. Meanwhile, Wu Changkong and Shen Yi's faces darkened. Due to some well-known reasons, the public's opinion of Shrek Academy was, if not overwhelmingly positive, certainly full of malice.

Wu Changkong, with a dark expression, interrupted Tang Wulin from continuing to listen and took him away directly.

Because it's summer vacation, it's peak season for visiting Shrek Academy, which is now filled with tour groups of all sizes.

Without exception, they were all recounting the glorious achievements of Shrek Academy.

He cheated in the competition, conspired with the Tang Clan to establish a dictatorship, and his good brother, the Tang Clan, had engaged in large-scale monopolies and treason!
In short, it's about doing whatever you can to the utmost.

This made Wu Changkong completely abandon his plan to let Tang Wulin continue to wander around Shrek Academy, and he led him towards the inner courtyard.

Shrek Academy is very large. Even though Tang Wulin and his two companions used their soul power, it took them quite a while to reach the end of the outer courtyard—a harbor.

Shrek Academy's inner campus is still built on Seagod Island, but the golden ancient tree that was Ah Yin's incarnation is no longer on the island.

Having lost the ancient golden tree that once served as the core of life, Poseidon Lake has long since lost its magic.

The fog that had previously prevented flying and obstructed observation over Poseidon Lake was now gone, allowing Tang Wulin to enjoy the lake's beauty in its entirety.

After negotiating with the old man stationed by the shore of Poseidon Lake, Shen Yi borrowed a small wooden boat from the harbor and had Tang Wulin and Wu Changkong board it.

Returning to Shrek Academy once again, and to Poseidon Lake once more, Wu Changkong's eyes shimmered with emotion.

Shen Yi took the initiative to stand at the stern and began rowing, without disturbing Wu Changkong's reminiscence of the past.

Before long, they arrived at the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy.

...

Shrek Academy, Poseidon Pavilion.

In a quaint room, the warm, mellow scent of aged pine wood, carrying the weight of time, lingers throughout.

The four walls are made of dark brown old wood, with the wood grain meandering like flowing water. The wood has been worn smooth and matte by the years. The mortise and tenon joints at the corners are carved with light intertwined branches, which are still clear despite the vicissitudes of time.

In the center of the room, the tabletop of a long wooden table is covered with fine marks of use, and the legs are carved with simple cloud patterns. Several celadon brush washers are placed side by side on the table, their glaze warm and lustrous.

The portraits hanging along the wall are all framed in dark sandalwood frames with meander patterns carved on the edges, and some of the joints have already shown a light patina.

The figures in the portraits are either dressed in armor or in simple robes, gazing calmly into the distance. The edges of the paper are slightly yellowed, with a few subtle traces of time, which only adds to the sense of historical depth.

This is the exhibition hall for all the past masters of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy.

Whenever a new master of the Sea God Pavilion is born, their portrait is placed in the Sea God Pavilion Master's Exhibition Hall.

However, due to historical reasons, neither the portraits of Heavenly Douluo Bede Xun nor the Light and Dark Douluo Long Yeyue exist here.

In this room that should be filled with historical depth and solemnity, an argument is taking place.

"Mengyou, how many times have I told you not to hide my portrait and then hang up a portrait of the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather!"

The one who spoke was a young man, very handsome, who looked to be only twenty-four or twenty-five years old.

He was dressed in a white casual suit, exuding an air of refined elegance. However, his tightly furrowed brows revealed that he was in a very bad mood.

However, when he looks at the person he is scolding, a hint of doting always flashes in the depths of his eyes.

If Wu Changkong, who was on his way, were to witness this scene, he would likely be speechless with astonishment. The invincible Cloud Nether Pavilion Master in his heart could actually be so distraught.

The man was none other than the current Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, a powerful figure of unknown rank on the continent, the Sky-Supporting Douluo Yun Ming.

The girl he was scolding was only eight or nine years old.

Her long black hair was casually draped behind her head. She wore a white dress, and white stockings outlined the soft and delicate curves of her legs, making it impossible to look away.

Her exquisite features were flawless, and her large eyes, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, were a luxurious gold.

She stood tall and graceful, with straight and long legs and a near-perfect body proportion. Although she was a little green, she exuded youthful energy.

The fact that the girl could elicit such complex emotions from Yun Ming, who was never inferior to anyone in his life, speaks volumes about her identity.

The girl's name is Yun Mengyou, and she is Yun Ming's biological daughter.

After everything settled down, Yunming was not bound by the past and did not choose to live out his days alone. Instead, he found someone to marry and started a new life.

Even though Shrek Academy's reputation was quite poor at that time, and Yun Ming's record was also rather unsightly.

However, Yun Ming also had something to say. He only played in the peak matches. If other people were to face Qian Gu Huang Yu and Qian Ren Xue, their performance might not be much better than his.

Regardless, he was one of the most outstanding experts of his time.

Moreover, if we're only comparing male Soul Masters, there really isn't anyone stronger than him.

Even the arrogant Qian Gu Dongfeng, if he were to face Yun Ming, would probably have no better options than using his ultimate move 'Mei Lai' to summon Qian Gu Huang Yu.

Therefore, as soon as the news of Yun Xiangming's upcoming marriage spread, it immediately caused quite a stir on the mainland.

Regardless, Yun Ming is a top-tier eligible bachelor. He's handsome, capable, and rich. Aside from his criminal record preventing his child from taking the civil service exam, he has no flaws.

Many male and female Soul Masters offered themselves to Yun Ming, hoping to marry him.

Many Soul Master families and Soul Clans even share the same idea, hoping that Yun Ming can improve their inherited Martial Soul.

If I could transform my family's inherited martial spirit into the Sky-Piercing Spear in the future, just thinking about it would be awesome!
When the two forces unite, Shrek will surely become great again!

Contrary to his intuition, Yun Ming ultimately did not choose from among the young ladies of noble families, but instead chose a female Soul Master from a commoner background as his wife.

She used to be his classmate, but she wasn't even a Title Douluo.

It was then that others realized that perhaps Yun Ming had truly let go.

Happy Mid-autumn Festival!
