Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 38 Departure from Xingluo City

"As for the differences between the three, quasi-gods are greater than false gods, demigods are greater than false gods, and demigods are greater than false gods."

A quasi-god is equivalent to three demigods.

Demigods are close to gods in some way, while false gods merely possess similar characteristics or abilities.

"I see. So, is your teacher still alive?"

"He's still traveling now, but if he wants to come back, he will naturally return."

In Douluo Continent II, to be honest, Di Tian is one of the demigods, but he is only at the level of a demigod with the Dragon King Claw. However, the Golden Ancient Tree and his teacher, Ilex, are complete demigods.

As for quasi-gods, those only existed in the Douluo Continent III era; they don't exist in the current Douluo Continent.

"So, Ah Die, do you think the strange phenomena in the sky are good or bad?"

"Okay, based on what's said above, those who are listed on the leaderboard will receive the God Ranking reward. It will be open soon, and we'll know all the answers now."

"Then, A-Die, can you make another battle armor?"

“Master, I can do it, but time seems to be insufficient. Have you forgotten? We have to go to the Elite Soul Master Competition in a few days. There are still more than ten days left. At my speed, it will take at least half a month. Moreover, it will be the other half a month for Qiu'er and Na'er to spend together.”

Xia Die was referring to at least the timeframe. Even if a second battle armor were made now, it would be meaningless, given Mingde Hall's current technological level.

Even if they were given this battle armor to study, they wouldn't be able to figure it out, since it's a product of a different era, not one of our own.

However, the first experimental subject here is quite valuable for research. Perhaps it is possible to bring the mecha to the real world and build a mecha army. Then, in the Douluo Three Kingdoms, let's see who dares to challenge us.

Jing Hongchen was not disappointed when she heard Xia Die's words.

"Ah Die, what do you think about me starting a forging profession now?"

Xia Die shook her head and said, "Master, isn't it too early to start now? I'm the only one who knows how to forge right now, and I won't learn forging in such a short time. I probably won't even know the most basic Hundred Forging."

Now that things have come to this point, if Xia Die hadn't participated in this competition, she might have had a chance, but now that chance is gone.

Although it's not too early and I could quit, I don't want to miss the chance to kill Tang San.

The grudges between us should be understood. Whether it's Huo Yuhao or Xia Die, I am who I am.

Jing Hongchen said, "I'm sorry, I was too hasty. We'll proceed with this after this competition ends."

"By the way, Master, could you arrange for a few bodyguards to accompany you? I don't trust Teacher Yu to do it alone."

After all, Yu Yu is only a Soul Douluo, which is not enough to protect us. The other side's Taotie Douluo, oh no, Chicken Leg Douluo Xuanzi, is no pushover.

Based on his first martial soul, there's a 99% chance the opponent would judge him as an evil soul master. As for the remaining 1%, that's just a small percentage of the Shrek Academy members who understand the truth...

No, Shrek Academy doesn't have a single reasonable person. We need to send more level nine soul masters to give them some friendly exchanges on a physical level.

"Yes, I'll tell you, but don't tell anyone else, and don't be surprised."

"Who are they?"

“You’re right. Yu is in the open, and we’re behind him. There are quite a few people protecting him in secret, including me, your teacher, Old Ye, Mad Bull, Luan Feng, Bu Po, and Ni Ye…”

"Master, are we going to the Star Luo Empire to compete, or are we going to destroy it? Leaving aside the number of level nine Soul Masters, what about sending several Soul Master regiments to be on standby?"

"At first I was just as surprised. As you know, your and your sister's martial souls are quite safe in the Sun Moon Empire. As long as you don't encounter them, you won't run into any problems."

But the Star Luo Empire is a different story. After all, it's not our territory, and your safety and your sister's safety must be fully guaranteed. Therefore, it's just a tiny "billion" of people.

Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy will definitely understand. We are really just protecting the safety of our students and there is absolutely no physical threat to Douluo Three Kingdoms.

If I didn't not know the number of people, I would almost believe it. All three of the three great soul guide masters of the Sun Moon Empire have come, plus some relatively powerful level nine soul guide masters. I guess it's not very realistic to capture Xia Die.

But at worst, we can use the power of the Titan of Death to summon the waters of the River Styx to drown them, but that would be against the natural order.

As the Titan of Death, she certainly wouldn't believe she didn't have a trump card.

"Alright, A-Die, is there any other question?" "Other question, Hall Master. Prepare more defensive soul tools. It's not for any particular reason, but I'm afraid those madmen from Shrek Academy will attack too quickly and be fatal."

………………

On the other side, Shrek Academy.

Poseidon Lake.

They then went to participate in the All-Continent Elite Tournament in two groups. One group consisted of spectators, who were some substitutes, while the other group consisted of regular players and pre-selection players. They needed to complete a "special mission" before they could join the other group.

There is absolutely no "danger," and they should be able to return "safely."

Two teachers accompanied the group this time: Fan Yu and Wang Yan.

Meanwhile, Fan Yu was counting the students who had accompanied him to the Star Luo Empire to watch the competition. His gaze swept over Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo one by one, and he closed the list only after confirming that everyone had arrived.

"Alright, let's head to Star Luo City first. After the participating students finish clearing out the evil soul masters on the border of the Star Luo Empire, they can join us. You guys double-check to make sure you've brought everything. It won't be good to go back if you forget anything."

Fan Yu had just finished putting away the list when she looked up and saw a student raise their hand. Looking up at the person with the raised hand, she saw it was Wu Feng and asked, "Wu Feng, is there a problem?"

"Teacher Fan Yu, we can actually participate in the elimination of evil soul masters. It can broaden our horizons and give us some experience." Wu Feng looked at Ning Tian in front of him and said loudly.

It's understandable that she wasn't selected for the reserve team, since she's only in the second ring. But it's absurd that Ning Tian wasn't selected for the reserve team.

The team competition roster was surprisingly empty of support-type Soul Masters, especially Ning Tian, ​​a genius possessing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda—the number one support-type Martial Soul in the world—who hadn't even made it into the reserve team. She was utterly perplexed and felt deeply aggrieved for Ning Tian. Coincidentally, the participating students were about to embark on a mission to eliminate evil Soul Masters. If Ning Tian could accompany them, his powerful support abilities with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul would undoubtedly play a crucial role, demonstrating to the selection teachers who truly deserved to be in the reserve team.

“Those evil soul masters aren’t very strong, the highest they can get is only a Soul King. With the strength of the participating students, they can handle them perfectly well, so we won’t get involved,” Fan Yu said gently.

With a look of reluctance, Wu Feng eagerly suggested to Teacher Fan Yu, "Teacher Fan Yu, the evil soul masters aren't very strong, so they can be used as practice targets for us."

Wang Dong stood beside Xiao Xiao, his gaze coldly sweeping over Wu Feng, his tone revealing undisguised contempt: "You dare to underestimate an evil soul master? What kind of child's play do you think this is? If you're tired of living, go do it yourself, don't drag us into this."

Wang Dong'er naturally knew about the trouble. Did you want me to attend the banquet early?

Furthermore, even though I've been reborn, this Wu Feng is still just as annoying as he was in my previous life. He can't beat me in a fight, so what's with all the arrogance?

Wu Feng had often caused her trouble because of Ning Tian, ​​so now that she had the chance, she naturally wouldn't let it go.

It's just that during the freshman assessment, Ning Tian didn't even have time to react before he eliminated her. Was it really necessary?

Compared to running to the wilderness to wipe out evil spirit masters, what's more important than finding my Ah Die?

Besides, that guy is ruthless and vicious. If you're not careful, you'll just be throwing your life away.

She won't do thankless work.

"Wang Dong, what are you saying?" Wu Feng stared at Wang Dong with wide eyes and a face full of anger, and questioned him in a cold voice.

Wang Dong crossed his arms, looking calm and speaking in a casual tone: "If you're not convinced, let's have a one-on-one fight. I'll give you a handicap."

Wu Feng snorted heavily through his nose, turned his head away disdainfully, and stopped talking. This confrontation, which was at odds with each other, was put on hold.

"Those evil spirit masters are too weak. They're not even good enough for the contestants to practice on. You have no place to interfere. Let's go to Star Luo City and wait to meet them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Yu waved his hand and announced, "Let's go! Destination: Star Luo City!"

At the same time, under the golden tree in front of the Sea God Pavilion.

The Shrek Academy's regular and reserve members, participating in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, stood in neat rows in the open space. Xuanzi, holding half a greasy chicken leg, stood in front of the reserve members and recounted the origins of the Inner Academy and the Shrek Academy's Supervisory Group, attempting to plant seeds in their hearts of yearning for the Inner Academy, taking pride in the school, and being willing to dedicate themselves.

Tang Lin, the reincarnation of Tang Shenwang, shouldering the heavy responsibility of reviving the Tang Sect, mingled among the reserve team members, observing coldly. He saw Xuanzi's words as nothing more than "hypnotic talk"—Shrek Academy was known for its ruthless exploitation, only talking about giving but stingy with returns; this unchanging tactic was something he, as the core of the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils, had long understood. Even if Chicken Leg Douluo Xuanzi possessed some of the qualifications of a Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, he couldn't be easily fooled.

Shrek Academy's old trick of "plucking feathers from passing geese," using the guise of dedication while remaining silent about returns, has continued from ten thousand years ago to the present. As the core of the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils, would Tang Lin be easily swayed by Xuanzi holding up a chicken leg? This guy, known as the "Chicken Leg Douluo," vaguely exudes the aura of a Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Sect, but these petty tricks are utterly insignificant in front of him.

Upon hearing Xuanzi's words that "the inner academy's teaching is not much more extensive than the outer academy's, with only a hundred registered students, and students need to complete thirty tasks to graduate," Tang Lin's eyes turned cold, and he could no longer restrain himself.

In the reserve team, Bei Bei was exceptionally strong, while Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan were even more gifted. He absolutely could not watch these promising talents be trapped by Shrek Academy's "shackles of glory," and he had to bring them into the Tang Sect—only by dedicating themselves fully to the rise of the Tang Sect could they truly follow the right path!
