Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Inside the Star Luo Imperial Palace, Xu Jiawei lay on the bed with his eyes closed.

If it weren't for the faint sound of his breathing proving that he was still alive, everyone would probably think that this Emperor of Xingluo had already passed away.

Princess Xu Jiujiu hurriedly entered the palace. At this moment, only the two siblings were in the palace, while a group of titled Douluo guarded the outside of the palace. This was to prevent any accidents from happening to the emperor on his deathbed. If anything went wrong, these titled Douluo would lose their titles.

Xu Jiawei, lying on the bed, sensed someone approaching. He wearily opened his eyes, slowly turned his head, and saw that it was Xu Jiujiu. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Jiujiu, have the Shrek Academy people arrived?" Just one sentence seemed to drain all his strength, followed by heavy breathing, as if he would collapse at any moment.

“You’ve come, but if I tell your brother what happened at Shrek Academy, you’ll probably faint from anger,” Xu Jiujiu said slowly.

"..." Xu Jiawei remained silent upon hearing this. It seemed that something serious had really happened at Shrek Academy, otherwise she wouldn't have arrived so late. Moreover, judging from his sister's words, the matter was so serious that he might not be able to handle it.

After a moment, he finally spoke with difficulty: "Speak."

No matter how difficult it is to accept, he must face it; moreover, he must have come all this way for a reason.

He wanted to know what had happened to Shrek, and even more so, he wanted to hear his sister's solution.

Seeing that he was prepared, she stopped trying to explain. She had come for this very reason, and her words were just a heads-up for her brother.

But before he could finish speaking, Xu Jiawei froze, nearly fainting.

Xu Jiawei thought that Shrek Academy had only encountered a minor accident, such as getting lost along the way, which he could accept. However, Xu Jiujiu said, "An evil soul master, Soul King, wiped out the entire Shrek Academy team, leaving only Ma Xiaotao. The reserve team also suffered heavy casualties."

Keep in mind that the leader of this team is none other than Taotie Douluo Xuanzi—a level 98 Super Douluo!
How could an evil Soul Master, a Soul King, possibly do such a thing? This is simply unbelievable...

Xu Jiujiu noticed that her brother's emotions were extremely unstable, so she hurriedly stepped forward to transfer her soul power and put the pills made by the Immortal Doctor Douluo into his mouth. Only then did Xu Jiawei slowly recover.

His face was ashen, and he was still breathing heavily, clearly having suffered a great shock.

This is understandable, given that the Sun and Moon team in this Soul Master Competition has a monster genius like Jin Tianming, and the Star Luo Emperor has already placed all his hopes on Shrek Academy.

No, more accurately, it was entrusted to Mo Yan, who also belonged to the Jin Tianming family.

Xu Jiawei struggled to speak: "What about Mo Yan from Shrek Academy? Could it be that he's also..."

“Brother, I’ve inquired. Mo Yan, Dugu Luo, and Ling Luochen were kicked out of the team by Xuanzi,” Xu Jiujiu replied, then revealed his plan, “So I think the solution is quite simple.”

“The geniuses have all been kicked out. Do you think they will come back to the team?” Xu Jiawei roughly guessed his sister’s thoughts. “Geniuses are all eccentric, and arrogance is one of them. Xuanzi’s actions were simply out of his mind. But it was precisely because of this that Mo Yan and the other two talents escaped the crisis of being wiped out by the Soul King.”

The thought of the Shrek Academy's official team being wiped out by a single evil soul master, a Soul King, made Xu Jiawei feel both like laughing and crying.

What on earth happened to Xuanzi? Letting a Soul King wipe out an entire team is something that would make him a laughingstock.

No, Xu Jiujiu already knows, it seems Shrek Academy has long since lost all face.

“Of course I understand, brother.” Xu Jiujiu understood what he meant. “Brother, do you know? Just now, Xuanzi angered the Immortal Doctor Douluo so much that if those reserve team kids at Shrek Academy don’t receive timely treatment, they may really be cut off from the path of Soul Master.”

"So, you want to use this as a bargaining chip? But how are you going to start? Although the Immortal Physician has given me some face, he won't do it easily..."

“Brother, have you forgotten that I have Wen Yu?” Xu Jiujiu interrupted him.

Wen Yu was the disciple of the Immortal Doctor Douluo. Having spent these days together, she could see that whatever Wen Yu asked for, the Immortal Doctor would grant it without hesitation, treating Wen Yu practically like his own granddaughter. Xu Jiawei looked at his sister in surprise upon hearing this, not expecting her to have grown so quickly, actually knowing how to use all the surrounding factors and connections to set a trap for Shrek Academy.

As the elder brother, he felt gratified; but as the emperor, he was also somewhat wary.

However, he knew his days were numbered and he could only temporarily entrust the country to his sister. With her capable abilities, he felt much more at ease.

"Go ahead and do it." After saying this, Xu Jiawei silently closed his eyes, which was considered as agreeing to Xu Jiujiu's suggestion.

Seeing this, Xu Jiujiu nodded, got up and left the palace.

Even if her brother disagreed, she would still go to Wen Yu—there was no other way; the winner of the Soul Master Competition could not be Xingluo, but it absolutely could not be the Sun and Moon Team.

Otherwise, war will truly break out.

The Soul Master Competition is not only a contest between major nations, but also a test of various forces. Moreover, sects are also involved this time, so there is no room for carelessness.

Inside the hotel of the Sun and Moon team.

"Don't hit Grandpa, I was wrong!"

"Ahhhh!!!"

"Don't hit my handsome face, grandpa!"

"I'm never showing off again!"

"Woooo..."

The members of the Sun and Moon team sat quietly to the side, watching Dean Jing Hongchen reprimand his grandson, Xiao Hongchen.

At this moment, Xiao Hongchen was a pitiful sight, his face swollen like a pig's. Even if he went out now, probably no one would recognize him as the same person who had just been showing off.

Meng Hongchen covered her mouth, not daring to look. The pig-like screams were utterly disgraceful.

Jin Tianming sat there deep in thought. Shrek Academy had suffered heavy losses this time, but they would never give up on the Soul Master Competition. Right now, there was only one best solution—to ask that "lazy dog" for help. He wondered if the two brilliant strategists would stoop so low as to ask for help, and he was actually somewhat looking forward to it.

At Shrek Academy, Mo Yan, who was leisurely sunbathing, couldn't help but sneeze.

She rubbed her nose and muttered, "Could it be that someone is plotting against me again?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Luo couldn't help but tease, "Could it be that Lord Mo Yan has caught a cold?"

"Impossible, how could someone like me catch a cold?" Mo Yan didn't believe he could catch a cold at all. Feeling a bad premonition, he hurriedly got up and said to Dugu Luo, "Luo, I'm going back to get my beauty sleep. If anyone comes to you to ask about me, ignore them!" After saying that, Mo Yan immediately turned and left, looking like he was running away.

Dugu Luo glanced at Lord Mo Yan's departing figure, then looked at the things in her hands. After thinking for a moment, she packed them up and went back to study the poisons—as long as no one could find the two of them, no one would bother Lord Mo Yan.

She is so smart!
