Douluo Continent: The creation of Jixia Academy made Bibi Dong drool with envy.

Chapter 53: Summoning Lanling King Ake to Establish an Assassin Organization! (Bonus Chapter)
Inside a side hall of the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

A royal banquet of extremely high standards, yet with an unusually delicate atmosphere, has finally come to an end.

On a snowy night, the Emperor went to great lengths to be courteous, frequently offering toasts to Yan Boshan, Zhuge Liang, and Sima Yi, his words filled with awe and... subtle attempts to win them over.

He repeatedly emphasized the possibility of a long-standing friendship between the Heavenly Dou Empire and the Jixia Academy, hinting at a broad prospect for future cooperation.

They attempted to use the emperor's sincerity and the empire's resources to persuade this unfathomable headmaster of the Jixia Academy.

However, Yan Boshan maintained a calm and detached attitude throughout, as if he were completely uninvolved.

He politely responded to Emperor Xueye's toast, but consistently avoided discussing substantive topics such as alliances and cooperation, or lightly brushed them off by citing the Jixia Academy's aloofness from worldly affairs.

This left Emperor Xueye feeling helpless, but it also strengthened his resolve to cultivate a good relationship with Jixia Academy at all costs.

Such a powerful, yet so aloof force, if it were to become an enemy, would have unimaginable consequences.

We can only befriend each other, never make enemies.

The banquet ended in an atmosphere that seemed harmonious on the surface, but was actually rife with undercurrents.

Yan Boshan politely declined the Emperor's kind invitation to stay in the palace on a snowy night.

He left the palace with Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, and the members of the King's Team and Xiaochu Team who had also attended the banquet, and returned to the Jixia Academy located deep in the Sunset Forest.

On the way home.

The night was as dark as ink, and the starlight was dim.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was quiet. Zhuge Liang closed his eyes to rest, seemingly deducing something.

Sima Yi maintained his cold expression, but occasionally, when he glanced out the window at the chaotic Tian Dou City, a hint of barely perceptible mockery would flash in his eyes.

The members of the Kings Team and the Xiaochu Team, having experienced the thrilling scene during the day, are still in a state of mixed excitement and awe.

Especially after witnessing firsthand the Dean's godlike power to obliterate a Title Douluo, their worship of their Dean reached its peak.

At the same time, they also developed a deeper desire for their own power.

Yan Boshan leaned against the carriage wall, seemingly resting with his eyes closed, but in reality, his consciousness had already sunk into the core of the Ark in his mind.

"The core is to calculate the fortune gained today."

"Command confirmed, begin statistics."

"Event: The truth is clear, Yu Xiaogang is being tried."

Scope of influence: The entire Douluo Continent. Primary targets: Yu Xiaogang and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

"Effect: Yu Xiaogang is disgraced, his luck is greatly reduced, and his connection with the world's protagonists is basically severed."

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family's reputation has plummeted, and its fortune has suffered a severe blow.

"Event: The annihilation of Yu Yuanzhen."

Scope of influence: The upper echelons of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Soul Master community.

Primary target: Yu Yuanzhen.

"Effect: Yu Yuanzhen is completely dead, his soul is annihilated, and his fortune is completely dissipated. The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan has lost its pillar, and its fortune is on the verge of collapse."

"Comprehensive assessment: This event has collected a large amount of global fortune."

Listening to the report from the Ark Core, Yan Boshan nodded in satisfaction.

Although the process was somewhat rough, the results were remarkable.

Yu Xiaogang is completely finished, and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family is now defunct in name only.

With just a gentle push, this once-mighty sect will be completely submerged in the dust of history.

The resulting good fortune is enough to support his next plan.

"Prioritize converting all fortune into energy reserves."

Yan Boshan issued the order.

"Instruction confirmed."

The Qi is circulating and transforming... transformation complete.

Feeling the energy surging within the core of the Ark, Yan Boshan began to consider his next move.

After this period of development, Jixia Academy has begun to take shape.

With top-tier mentors like Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Zhang Liang, Master Laozi, and Zhuang Zhou on board, the show is a must.

With the addition of the formidable Kings and Valiant Warriors teams, they are more than capable of handling any challenge in the world on the front lines in the future.

but…

A truly powerful force cannot only have a righteous and honorable side.

most of the time.

Some dirty and tiring jobs, and some things that are inconvenient to be discussed openly, need to be handled in the dark.

Jixia Academy needs a pair of... no, a sharp blade hidden in the shadows.

A black glove that obeys only his commands and clears away all obstacles for him.

Establish a second power in the continent of kings.

A dark organization operating outside the Jixia Academy system, focusing on intelligence, assassination, and subversion.

This idea gradually became clear in Yan Boshan's mind.

Excluding those national powers that require vast territories and populations, a lean, efficient, and secretive assassin organization is undoubtedly the most cost-effective option at present.

So, who should lead this organization?

Yan Boshan began sifting through the hero database of the King's Continent in his mind. Requirements: Proficient in stealth and assassination, possessing powerful single-target burst damage, and preferably... also having some leadership and organizational skills.

Soon, a figure shrouded in ghostly blue flames appeared in his mind.

That masked, elusive figure, a silent killer in the darkness.

Lanling Wang.

Yes, that's him.

Whether it's the ability to stealth and remain hidden, or the instantaneous assassination skills.

Or perhaps it's his mysterious and ruthless leadership qualities that perfectly match Yanshan's requirements for the leader of this assassin organization.

"Core, lock onto the summoning target—Lanling King, summon."

"Command confirmed, target locked: Lanling King."

Energy consumption assessment in progress... Summoning initiated.

In an instant, a cold, eerie energy fluctuation, filled with the aura of death and shadows, surged within the core of the ark.

at the same time.

In order to enable this assassin organization to quickly form combat capabilities and have sufficient deterrent power, Yan Boshan decided to equip it with another top-notch deputy.

Lanling King excels at stealth and delivering a fatal blow, but his ability to sustain direct combat is relatively weak.

Therefore, we need someone who is equally skilled in assassination, but whose movements are more unpredictable, whose explosive power is stronger, and who can even take the head of a general in the midst of a massive army.

That peerless female assassin who danced like a ghost, her blade licking death—

Ake.

"Core, summon simultaneously—Ake!"

"Furthermore, Yuan Ge's affiliation will also be incorporated into this new organization."

Lanling Wang's lurking and leadership, Ake's explosive power and reaping of the spoils, plus Yuan Ge's ever-changing and unpredictable puppet techniques.

This trio is practically born for assassination.

"Command confirmed, additional summon target: Ake."

Energy consumption has increased dramatically… Summoning begins.

Under Yanboshan's will, a massive amount of energy was consumed.

Two summoning arrays, imbued with an aura of extreme killing intent and stealth, lit up simultaneously within the special space of the Ark's core.

The light dissipated.

Two figures emerged quietly.

A man dressed in exotic blue outfit, wearing a signature ghost mask that revealed only his sharp, hawk-like eyes, exuded a chilling aura that kept strangers at bay.

It was none other than Prince Lanling.

The other was a red-haired woman with a graceful figure, wielding two daggers, with cold eyes and a faint, cruel smile on her lips.

It was Ake.

The moment the two appeared, they immediately knelt on one knee and offered their loyalty to the supreme will in the void.

"Lanling Wang (Ake) greets the Dean."

"very good."

Yan Boshan's voice resonated deep within their souls.

"From this day forward, you will form a new organization, codenamed 'Hidden'!"

"Lanling Wang is the leader, Ake is the deputy, and Yuan Ge is the assistant."

"Your mission is to become the sharpest blade in my hand, stealthily moving through the darkness to eliminate all obstacles."

"To enable you to perform your missions more effectively..."

With a thought, Yan Boshan channeled the remaining energy once more, precisely pouring it into the bodies of Lanling Wang and Ake.

Their aura began to surge at an astonishing rate.

finally.

Lanling King's aura remained steadily at... level 92, a titled Douluo.

And Ake's aura also reached... level 91, titled Douluo.

Two top-tier assassin-type titled Douluo.

Add to that Yuan Ge, who is equally enigmatic and skilled at manipulating puppets.

The newly established assassin organization 'Hidden' already possesses high-end combat capabilities that would make any force on the continent tremble with fear.

"Thank you, Dean!"

Lanling Wang and Ake felt the surging power within them, and a hint of excitement flashed in their eyes, but their tone remained cold and respectful.

"Go."

Yan Boshan's voice rang out again.

"Your first task will come soon."

The figures of Lanling Wang and Ake disappeared silently, as if blending into the shadows.

Yan Boshan slowly opened his eyes inside the carriage, a slight smile curving his lips…
