Douluo: Peerless Light...

Chapter 231 The exchange ends
Empire of the Sun and Moon, Mingde Hall.

"Arthas, please come out and fight."

Arthas once again faced a challenge from Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan. Ever since he failed the assessment last semester, the two of them had been fighting him whenever they had time. Naturally, the result was that he kept fighting and was defeated.

But the two of them still enjoyed it, but Arthas was really a little annoyed.

He glanced at the two of them, frowned slightly and said:
"I don't have time to play with you two all the time. You can come and challenge me once at the end of each month. Don't bother me at other times. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and beating you until you have to lie in bed for three months."

"Okay." Ji Juechen nodded readily.

"Hmph, stingy!" Jing Ziyan wrinkled her nose and snorted.

Arthas didn't bother to pay attention to her, but he seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Ji Juechen and continued, "Ji Juechen, if you really want to find an opponent to hone yourself, I can recommend a good place to you, and that is Shrek Academy."

"I'm sure you've heard of the name Minghui."

"Of course I know. After the last Soul Master Competition, he became a famous figure." Jing Ziyan said.

"He has also realized the unity of man and nature." Arthas continued, "Although he uses a soul guide, he does not spend time researching it himself. He focuses on cultivating his martial soul. Therefore, his realm is much higher than mine. Whether it is boxing or spearmanship, they are all at the highest level. Ji Juechen, no matter what weapon you use, it is an extension of your hands and feet. If you can challenge him, it will definitely be of great benefit to your swordsmanship."

"Also, I'm not afraid of you making fun of me. Although my cultivation is higher than his, he is still superior to me in terms of combat power."

"If it's a life-and-death fight, I can't even take a single punch from him."

"Is it really that powerful?" Jing Ziyan was a little unconvinced, while Ji Juechen next to her frowned slightly, obviously thinking about something.

"Only those who have actually fought him can understand how terrifying he is." Arthas shook his head.

"Although my punches are powerful, I rely more on the far superior strength of my soul ring after it merged into my body to fight the enemy, and then rely on the self-healing ability brought by my martial soul to maintain long-term combat. I emphasize using force to defeat tricks, but it is ultimately human power. However, he can achieve the state of unity between man and nature and draw the power of the elements of heaven and earth to help him fight. How can human power fight against nature? Therefore, I am always one level behind him."

"In fact, I learned how to apply my martial arts spirit's healing ability from him."

"He's a real monster!"

Ji Juechen's expression became serious, and a strong fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.

Jing Ziyan was relieved, "Arthas, you don't have to favor one over the other. After all, Minghui has twin martial souls, and both are extremely powerful. In addition, he has the support of a big family, so he has no shortage of training resources, and there are many Title Douluo to guide him."

"Apart from that, I don't think you're any worse than him."

"With your talent in soul guide research, your future achievements may not be worse than his."

Arthas smiled and said, "Then I will borrow your good words."

"Okay, if there's nothing else, you can leave. I still have to continue researching my soul guide."

"Be careful not to study yourself stupidly if you are so obsessed with it!" Jing Ziyan curled her lips and turned away.

She thought Arthas’ suggestion was good and planned to talk to the hall master and apply to go when the next exchange student is held with Shrek Academy.

She wanted to see if Minghui, who was several years younger than Arthas, was really that powerful!

She admitted that Minghui was powerful. After all, he had defeated Xiao Hongchen and his sister in the last Soul Master Competition. But she still had to see for herself how powerful he was.

Ji Juechen said nothing, bowed, turned around and followed.

Arthas watched the two men leave, with a slight smile on his face.

"Master, can you tie these two people up and make them work in the Spirit Transmission Hall? It all depends on you from now on."

After the fixed challenge time was determined, Arthas's subsequent schedule became stable. It was uneventful for several months until Huo Yuhao broke through level 40.

After learning about this, Arthas did not help to obtain the spirit ring. He could rest assured with Fanyu leading the team.

Not to mention his identity as the son of luck, he also has the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the sixth one, in his body to help with security.

The result was not unexpected. Huo Yuhao successfully obtained the soul ring from the Ten Thousand Year Silver Moon Wolf King.

For the following period of time, everything was calm again, except that the emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire occasionally sent people to invite him to the palace to help with a physical examination, and the invitation was open, which was undoubtedly done to divide the relationship between him and the Shrek people.

The instructors in Mingde Hall, including several ninth-level soul instructors, were overly friendly to him.

For a long time, everyone in Shrek Academy has naturally seen it many times, and therefore there are some effects.

Just like before, He Caitou, who knew the situation, deliberately distanced themselves from Huo Yuhao, while the other students also distanced themselves deliberately. As for Fan Yu, in order to act more realistically, he even talked to him, and the topic of their conversation was naturally about not forgetting the cultivation of Shrek Academy.

After Jing Hongchen, who was under increasingly close surveillance, found out about this, he led all the mentors in a relentless pursuit, saying bluntly that this was moral kidnapping.

Arthas agreed with this more and more, occasionally expressing his helplessness and a little resentment.

Jing Hongchen and other college instructors were very satisfied with their operations. Xu Tianran and the Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire were also very satisfied with this progress. They expressed that they were not anxious about Arthas's insistence on his soul guide research results, and asked Jing Hongchen to be patient.

As for Juzi, he had already taken Keke to join the army.

Time flies, and more than a year has passed.

One year before the Soul Master Competition, when all the colleges were on annual leave, it was time for exchanges.

A few days before leaving, Jing Hongchen and Xu Tianran came to visit Arthas. Arthas replied that he would give an answer on the day of the reunion. Since he wanted to stay, he should make it clear in person. Backing off was not his style.

Such a reply gave Jing Hongchen and Xu Tianran some peace of mind, and they were all patiently waiting for this day to come.

Early in the morning, Alsace got up early.

In order to prevent him from having too much contact with the Shrek people before leaving, Jing Hongchen was persuaded by Fan Yu and others to even arrange for his breakfast to be delivered to his home on time from the cafeteria. After eating his breakfast leisurely, he walked straight to the gathering point at the entrance of the academy.

When he arrived, Fan Yu and others had already arrived. Jing Hongchen and Lin Jiayi were also there. When they saw him coming, they all turned their eyes.

Students like He Caitou standing behind Fan Yu frowned slightly, as if complaining about Arthas's late arrival. Then Arthas strode to Fan Yu, raised his hand, and revealed a soul guide ring, with a very calm expression.

"Teacher Fanyu, these are some of the rare metals I won earlier, as well as the results of my research over this period of time."

"Arthas, what do you mean?" Fan Yu frowned.

Jing Hongchen and Lin Jiayi's eyes lit up.

Although the lost rare metals and Arthas's research results are precious, especially the continuously improved armor, they are nothing compared to the value of Arthas as a developer!

"I plan to stay," Arthas said bluntly.

He Caitou immediately became angry and shouted, "Arthas, are you worthy of the academy's training by doing this?"

"Arthas, you are betraying the academy!" a student next to him said more seriously.

Jing Hongchen interrupted and said calmly, "Isn't that a bit too much?"

"I have some understanding of your Shrek Academy. With Arthas's achievements, he should have been qualified to apply for graduation from your academy."

"Your Shrek is an academy, not a sect or a family. Can you still force students to stay or leave?"

He Caitou and other students were suddenly speechless.

"Arthas, are you really going to do this?" Fan Yu said with a gloomy face. Arthas's face remained calm, and his tone was calm, "Teacher Fan Yu, you know my life experience. Do you think the academy will help me kill him? And if I kill him myself, will the academy still accept me?"

"Also, you should understand my obsession with soul guides. If I want to study a ninth-level soul guide now, can the academy provide me with drawings and finished products for research?"

Jing Hongchen and Lin Jiayi straightened their backs immediately. When it comes to achievements in soul guides, who else in Mingdetang can compare with them?
Fan Yu was also silent, and then stared at him, "So, Arthas, are you ready to go against your principles?"

"My principles will not change. In the near future, I will kill him with my own strength." Arthas said, "But I have to admit that it is not easy to achieve it with only martial spirit ability. Therefore, I need to become a ninth-level soul mentor."

"And the college, as it stands, is having a hard time helping me achieve that."

"You and I both know that the academy has been researching soul guides for a thousand years since the collision of the two continents, but has never been able to train a ninth-level soul guide. Master Fanyu, you are currently the most talented soul guide researcher in the academy, but do you think that you can become a ninth-level soul guide in the next few decades?" In order to make it look realistic, he felt that he needed to pull him down a bit.

Fan Yu's expression suddenly became a little ugly and complicated. Although he was acting, he had to admit it.

I'm really not sure!
All the Shrek students looked embarrassed. Although the words were harsh, they were indeed the truth.

It has been thousands of years since a ninth-level soul master was born, so how could one be born in the next few decades? They themselves did not believe this when they said it!

Jing Hongchen smiled and suddenly felt proud.

"Teacher Fanyu, a person's life is limited, and I can't wait too long." Arthas continued, "If waiting until he dies of old age can be considered revenge, I think I can't convince myself."

"Besides, his identity is there after all. After all, the academy has been kind to me in training me. I don't want to drag the academy down with this matter and make it difficult for the academy to deal with it later."

Who is this?

The uninformed Shrek Academy students were confused. They could tell he was a big shot, and he had a grudge against Arthas, and it was a mortal feud that would not end until one of them died.

They turned to look at Fan Yu, hoping that Teacher Fan Yu could give an answer.

"Ah." Teacher Fan Yu sighed, looked at Arthas, and said helplessly, "Arthas, you have always been a steady person. I think you made this decision after careful consideration. Everyone has their own aspirations. Teacher respects your decision."

"I just hope you can stick to your original intention and not hurt innocent people."

"Of course." Arthas nodded and handed over the soul guide ring in his hand. "Although the highest level is only a seventh-level soul guide, the principles contained in it will be helpful to the academy and you, teacher. I hope you can achieve your wish in the future."

"Don't refuse. Just think of it as a small token of appreciation from a student before he leaves."

Fan Yu's expression suddenly became a little sad, but he still nodded slightly, stretched out his hand to take it, and then said:
"Take care of yourself!"

“Take care!” Arthas glanced at the Shrek people, ignoring the indignation in some of them’s eyes, and cupped his hands, “Everyone, have a safe journey!”

No one said a word.

Jing Hongchen knew that the atmosphere was not right, and he didn't want anything unexpected to happen to Arthas, so he quickly took over the conversation.

"Teacher Fanyu, now that everyone is here, let's set off now."

Fan Yu was obviously in a bad mood. He forced a smile on his face and nodded slightly. Then he took out his flying soul guide and put it on. The students behind him followed suit. After a while, they took off behind Fan Yu and flew rapidly towards the border under the escort of Mingde Hall instructors such as Jing Hongchen.

Arthas watched everyone disappear from his sight, then turned to look at Lin Jiayi.

"Director, if there is nothing else, I will go back to Mingde Hall first."

"Okay." Lin Jiayi smiled and nodded.

Arthas strode away and met many students who stayed on campus on the way, all of whom looked surprised.

"Isn't it time for Shrek to finish the exchange and leave today? Why is Arthas heading towards Mingde Hall?"

"Could it be that he chose to stay in the academy?"

"." There was a lot of discussion for a while.

Arthas ignored him and walked straight towards Mingde Hall, arriving there soon.

As soon as I entered the door, many tutors who were waiting for the results came up to me with smiles on their faces, especially Xuan Ziwen.

"Alsace, welcome aboard!"

"Arthas, the past is the past. With your talent, our Mingde Hall is where you should be."

"That's right, staying in Shrek Academy is simply burying you!"

Arthas just smiled, and after some polite exchanges, he rushed to his laboratory alone.

After a while, Xu Tianran received the news, smiled, and went to see his father as soon as possible.

"Yes, yes, yes," the Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire said several good things and immediately asked Xu Tianran to invite Arthas to a banquet in the palace during the New Year to show his respect.

Xu Tianran readily agreed and said that he would arrange it as soon as possible and invite Jing Hongchen's family.

The Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire immediately understood that Meng Hongchen was also a rare beauty, and it would definitely be a great thing if the two could be brought together.

Xu Tianran smiled, with a gleam of light in his eyes.

He wanted to see whether this Arthas was really as his future Crown Princess Orange said, and was not interested in beautiful women.

Two days later, in a border city.

Yan Shaozhe, who came to pick them up, had a gloomy face and said angrily, "Master Jing, you are going too far. You are poaching our students!"

Jing Hongchen's face was calm, and he said calmly, "Dean Yan, you are joking. The students from Arthas are willing to stay here, so how can you say that we are poaching them? You can ask Teacher Fanyu about the specific reasons later to see if I forced them to stay."

Yan Shaozhe turned to look at Fan Yu and the other students, all of them were silent.

Yan Shaozhe's expression suddenly became even uglier. He was a professional at acting.

Jing Hongchen cupped his hands and said with some pride, "If there is nothing else, we will take our leave first."

I left a super spy here to show you how beautiful it is. Yan Shaozhe thought to himself. He kept his displeasure on his face, snorted coldly, ignored Jing Hongchen, and turned around and said, "Let's go!"

Take everyone and leave first.

Jing Hongchen smiled brightly, turned around and glanced at his grandchildren, and said cheerfully, "Let's go, let's go back to the academy too."

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were puzzled, wondering who this Arthas was and how he could make Grandpa so happy.

During the flight, Meng Hongchen was the first to ask, "Grandpa, who is this Arthas?"

The other exchange students were also confused.

"Very powerful?!" Xiao Hongchen asked the question he was most concerned about.

Immediately, an accompanying instructor responded, "He defeated all the sixth-year students in the academy, including the Mingde Hall members, and won all of them. It only took him three days."

"Don't you think it's awesome?"

"How is this possible?" Xiao Hongchen screamed in shock. This was something even he couldn't do.
