Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

At the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy, Xuanzi gathered the reserve team and the regular team members.

He looked at the children in front of him with satisfaction and nodded with great satisfaction, saying, "Seeing you children, I am very satisfied, especially Xiao Tao. Last year, it was Le Xuan who broke through to the level 70 Soul Saint. I didn't expect that this year it would be you who broke through to the Soul Saint and also broke the curse of the Evil Fire Phoenix, and possessed the ultimate fire."

Thinking back to the previous Soul Master Competition, Xuanzi felt that Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er were somewhat like "a hidden dragon and a phoenix chick"—if he had led the team, the result would definitely not have been the same.

Therefore, he directly applied for the leadership role in this competition, and also wanted to make all the students present understand the true responsibilities of Shrek Academy.

However, he did not notice that Ma Xiaotao was looking down and seemed a little down.

For her, the position of captain should have belonged to Sister Mo Yan, but for some reason, Xuan Zi and her teacher kicked Sister Mo Yan out of the team, and Dugu Luo and Ling Luo Chen were also kicked out.

Apart from Ma Xiaotao, the other trainees were very excited, especially the three who joined the Shrek Academy team midway through the competition; they were so excited they could hardly express it.

Xuanzi noticed someone's arrival and couldn't help but look over. Upon seeing the person in that direction, he nodded without making a sound.

He hadn't expected that Long Xiaoyao would choose to protect them secretly this time. Although this was unexpected, it made the students' safety more secure.

Long Xiaoyao, hidden in the shadows, did not choose to show himself. He stood in the shadows, his figure shrouded in darkness, quietly watching Xuanzi stand there proclaiming the glory of Shrek Academy.

Although his illness was not as serious as Mu En's, he still needed to recuperate. However, he did not expect that Yan Shaozhe would let Xuanzi lead the team this time.

This completely stunned him—couldn't Yan Shaozhe see Xuanzi's leadership skills?
Therefore, remembering his promise to Moon to consider the future of the academy, and with Beibei also in the team, he chose to endure and hide in the shadows, determined to escort them safely to the Star Luo Empire.

What he didn't notice was that Beibei was shrouded in a thick layer of black energy, which was spreading quietly, sometimes expanding wildly, and then suddenly disappearing, appearing extremely eerie.

……

In the Sun Moon Empire, Jin Tianming stood atop the Spirit Transmission Tower, a creature resembling both a tortoise and a dragon appearing on his shoulder—the golden hawksbill turtle that Jin Tianming had modified with a dragon soul.

"Jin Tianming, it's time for my Golden Tortoiseshell to return to the world!" the Golden Tortoiseshell exclaimed excitedly.

“Indeed.” Jin Tianming nodded, looking behind him—Ye Xishui had appeared unnoticed. “Senior Ye Xishui, have you made up your mind?”

"Did I have a choice? From the moment I obtained Yang Yue's spatial abilities, my path to death was already sealed. But, as a god, do I also need a scapegoat?" Ye Xishui stared intently at Jin Tianming's back, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Or do you want to replace Him?"

“No…” Jin Tianming looked at the dense dark clouds in the sky and spoke slowly.

Ye Xishui fell silent upon hearing this.

After a moment, she scoffed, "Since you've already made this preparation, are you content with it?"

"To offer everything to my lord is my honor and my mission! Stop testing me, Senior Ye Xishui!"

Ye Xishui stared intently at Jin Tianming's back. At that moment, she seemed to see the figure of Sheng Yangyue when he left back then—he looked just like that, as if offering loyalty to that god was the only meaning of their existence.

Why do these family geniuses all have such thoughts? What is the reason behind it?
What exactly is the significance of this?
She truly couldn't understand it, so she decided to go and see the "Lord" that Jin Tianming and Sheng Yangyue had mentioned, to see what kind of demon or deity could make her people so devoted.

"Heh~ I'm getting more and more curious." "Then let's wait and see!"

……

In the Star Luo Empire, Wen Yu stood in the center of the martial arts arena specially prepared for the All-Continent Soul Master Competition, gazing at the dazzling sun in the sky, and murmured, "What beautiful sunshine, perfect for photosynthesis." As soon as he finished speaking, for some unknown reason, vines, creepers, flowers and grasses sprouted from under countless floor tiles, instantly transforming the martial arts arena into a dense forest.

It was as if it had transformed into a temple of life.

The plants continued to expand outwards, and in the blink of an eye, the platform became countless times larger than before.

Watching this scene, Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but swallow hard and looked at the Healer Douluo beside her: "Senior Wang Xian'er, are you really sure Wen Yu is a healing-type Soul Master?"

This ability to change the terrain at will is simply too exaggerated; it's as if the surrounding environment changes with just a breath.

Moreover, she could feel that familiar life energy, which seemed to have a consciousness, cheering and worshipping Wen Yu wildly, as if she were the creator of life.

But considering that this vast scene was all created by Wen Yu, it seemed to make perfect sense.

“Princess Jiu Jiu, the concept of ultimate life is too vast for me to fully comprehend. Perhaps my disciple Wen Yu’s understanding of life far surpasses mine,” Wang Xian’er said slowly, gazing at Wen Yu who stood there like a creator.

She knew Wen Yu was extraordinary, but she never expected him to be this extraordinary—he could change the surrounding environment at will, and might even create an entire forest on his own.

If Wen Yu knew what Wang Xian'er was thinking, she would definitely say: If the original body told her that ten thousand years later she would be a hot commodity in the eyes of soul beasts, her appearance itself is the embodiment of nature.

After hearing this, Xu Jiujiu looked at Wen Yu again and couldn't help but sigh, "This family is full of monsters! I used to consider myself a genius among the stars, but now I realize that I am just a mediocre person, while she is the real genius, far beyond my reach."

They truly deserve to be called a divine family, and they are indeed people who possess a martial soul bestowed by the gods. They are simply incomparable.

"Jiujiu, you can actually outdo me in being the empress." Wen Yu's figure suddenly appeared beside Xu Jiujiu, his voice like a devil's whisper, startling Xu Jiujiu.

She glared at Wen Yu beside her with displeasure: "Are you sick, Wen Yu?"

"I'm just stating the facts."

"You can't say that in front of people!"

"So you can do it when no one's around?" Wen Yu tilted her head and stared at him for a long time before asking.

Looking at Wen Yu in front of him, Xu Jiujiu looked helplessly at Wang Xian'er beside him and pleaded for help: "Senior Physician, please look at her!"

"Wen Yu was just emphasizing that the princess must shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country," Wang Xian'er said calmly.

"..." She stared at the two people in front of her in silence for a long time. For a moment, she felt that the master and disciple were actually in cahoots.
