Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 350 Full Preparations: A Mixture of Surprise and Disappointment!

Xuanwu Gate, originally named Huanglong Gate, was the place where the princes of the Sun and Moon Empire fought to ascend the throne ten thousand years ago. It is located in the mountains north of Mingdu.

As the empire was transformed into a federation, the federation renamed Huanglong Gate to Xuanwu Gate in the name of goodwill and to quell the bloodshed.

"Tsk, it would have been better not to change the name at all." Jiang Xiu clicked his tongue as he recalled the information about Xuanwu Gate.

After all, the symbolism of Xuanwu Gate is even worse...

“However, this also corresponds to what will happen in three days…” The next moment, Jiang Xiu’s purple eyes suddenly deepened.

The Xuanwu Grand Stage awaits; come if you're ready.

Whoever loses is the intruder!
I love you, devil. See you in three days!
"Young Jiang, what are you thinking about?" Old Jin raised an eyebrow and asked, noticing the intense killing intent and hint of excitement in Jiang Xiu's eyes.

"Old Jin, don't those demons look like my future legion?" Jiang Xiu's lips curled into a kind smile.

"..."

Jin Lao was stunned for a moment, then gave Jiang Xiu a deep look. He was originally worried that Jiang Xiu would be hesitant when facing another dimension besides the Abyss for the first time, but he did not expect that Jiang Xiu had already started to plan about the Demon Legion.

It seems his worries were all unnecessary...

But Elder Jin still needed to give some instructions, so he secretly transmitted his voice to Jiang Xiu:
“Young Jiang, my true form must remain at Shrek Academy, after all, I still need to guard against Ah Yin to prevent any trouble.”

"At that time, I will send a wisp of divine thought to the Demon Plane through the demon bloodline within this little girl's martial soul. After sending the coordinates, that divine thought will dissipate. The rest is up to you. You need to be prepared."

Jin Lao glanced meaningfully at Yuan En Ye Hui.

"Don't worry, Elder Jin. I wouldn't act rashly without a 98% chance of winning," Jiang Xiu said with a smile, his tone full of confidence.

He now possesses three level-nine soul-guided cannon shells, "exclusively sponsored" by the Green Skull.

When the demon army arrives, he will first launch a barrage of artillery fire to wipe out the weaker demons.

He knew all too well that all the fear stemmed from insufficient firepower.

"Alright, as long as you know what you're doing." Old Jin nodded slightly, then asked, "How's Yali doing?"

"Teacher Yali has agreed to come along. I'll go tell her later."

Immediately, Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed and he said, "However, after sending the coordinates and ensuring Yuan En's safety, I hope you will knock Teacher Ya Li unconscious. After all, there are some things that Teacher Ya Li should not know."

“Alright.” Jin Lao pondered for a moment and nodded slightly. He understood that the Underworld Emperor would definitely appear at that time, so after ensuring Yuan En’s safety, Ya Li should not know what happened next.

Yuan Enhui watched the two quietly from the side. She knew that the two were secretly communicating and discussing something, but a hint of surprise couldn't help but appear in her dark red eyes.

Jiang Xiu had told her about Elder Jin's identity beforehand, but the more he told her, the more shocked she became. After all, one of Shrek Academy's greatest strengths was so closely related to Jiang Xiu, almost like an elder and a junior.

Do you know Shrek Academy?

Immediately, Yuan Enhui shook her head again, it seemed to make little difference whether Shrek Academy knew or not...

"By the way, Elder Jin, do you know what the opportunity to become a god was left by the spirit of the old plane for the Underworld Emperor?" Jiang Xiu asked curiously.

"Well, I still..." Old Jin hesitated for a moment upon hearing this.

"I really don't know."

"Alright, then I'll go back and find some more help." Seeing that Elder Jin was like this, Jiang Xiu stopped investigating, since he would find out in three days.

Anyway, there are only a few ways to become a god, and he could roughly guess them.

There's really nothing that can shock him now, unless... unless the spirit of the old plane comes back to life...

But how could that be? He witnessed the spirit of the old plane dissipate with his own eyes.

He even secretly shed a few tears, heartbroken...

"Buzz!"

At this moment, Old Jin stretched out his powerful palm, made a grasping motion in the air, and a bright golden leaf appeared, with dazzling golden lines on it, engraved with the mark of an ancient tree.

"Take it. You can activate it with your soul power later." Old Jin handed the leaf to Jiang Xiu, which contained a wisp of his divine thought.

Jiang Xiu nodded and accepted it, then solemnly put it away.

"Let's go, Yuanen." Jiang Xiu then led Yuanen Yehui out of the training room.

As the wooden door to the training room closed, a hint of satisfaction appeared in Elder Jin's eyes. He had high hopes for Jiang Xiu's composure and boldness.

If this succeeds, they will have another god-level expert on their side, and he won't be so alone when facing Tang Hao and Ah Yin.

But soon, the relief in Jin Lao's eyes was replaced by an expression of expectation mixed with hesitation.

"Hey, old friend, I wonder if you're really still alive..."

He had some suspicions, but he wasn't sure, which is why he didn't tell Jiang Xiu.

However, everything will be revealed in three days.

Outside the training room.

Jiang Xiu first sent Yuan Enhui back to her family, while he went to Ya Li's room alone.

"Teacher Yali, it's been a long time. I've missed you so much." Jiang Xiu greeted Yali with a smile, looking at her in a green dress, exuding a strong aura of vitality.

"Hmph, our champion is back." Ya Li glared at Jiang Xiu with her beautiful blue eyes, giving him a sharp, eye-roll. "Do you still remember having me as your teacher?"

During the time Jiang Xiu was returning from the Star Luo, he disappeared several times without any apparent reason, and she couldn't get through to him using his communication soul tool.

"Ahem, how could I possibly forget you, Teacher Yali?" Jiang Xiu coughed twice. He had been busy inspecting and training the Shadow Legion during the few days he had disappeared.

"Hey, Teacher Yali, this is a local specialty from Xingluo that I brought back for you." As he spoke, Jiang Xiu took out a delicate potted plant from his living soul tool and placed it on the table.

Inside the pot is a small, lush green grass with four leaves, resembling stars.

"Teacher Ya Li, didn't you say last time that you liked the unique flowers and plants of the Star Luo Continent? I specially brought back one that is most suitable for you," Jiang Xiu said with a smile.

According to the book he learned as a child, "On How to Get a Rich Woman to Help Me in Three Sentences," the art of playing hard to get is very effective, and disappointment and surprise must coexist.

Sure enough, when Yali saw the slightly swaying potted plant, her blue eyes paused for a moment, and then a hint of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes.

She remembered that she had casually mentioned liking plants from the Star Luo Continent after a discussion about the power of faith, and she never expected that Jiang Xiu would remember it and bring it to her!
Instantly, Ya Li's resentment towards Jiang Xiu for disappearing for those few days vanished without a trace.

There was also a hint of surprise in it...

"Teacher Yali, what do you think? Do you like it?" Jiang Xiu straightened the potted plant and asked with a light smile.

"So-so." Ya Li pursed her red lips, turned her head to the side, and hummed softly with a nasal tone.

Jiang Xiu took one look and instantly focused his gaze on her. Ya Li's little resentment disappeared, but she still had a bit of teacherly arrogance in front of her student.

Of course, this is because he and Yali have had many in-depth exchanges on the power of faith... which is why Yali is so unusually a little proud. As for the students from the outside world, Yali still treats them calmly and gently.

"You wouldn't come here without a reason. Speak, what is it?" Feeling Jiang Xiu's smiling gaze on her, Ya Li turned her head and asked in a clear voice.

"Teacher Ya Li, do you still remember the promise you made to protect me? Three days from now, in the Xuanwu Gate in the mountains north of Mingdu, I need your help, Teacher Ya Li." Jiang Xiu said earnestly, his tone becoming serious.

"Xuanwu Gate? Jiang Xiu, did you go that far?" Ya Li asked in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu shook his head slightly, lowered his voice, and whispered, "There's no other way. Aliens are attacking the Douluo Plane in three days, and I have to go protect the Douluo Continent."

Upon hearing this, Ya Li was immediately amused. "Jiang Xiu, can you be serious for once? There are no aliens!"

"Sigh, if you don't believe me, Teacher Yali, there's nothing I can do," Jiang Xiu said with a helpless sigh, spreading his hands.

He was a quiet and honest Soul Master, and was often not believed by others.

"Alright, I'll go in three days." Ya Li said with a smile, looking at Jiang Xiu's expression.

She always keeps her promises.

"Then we'll await good news, Teacher Yali." Seeing that Yali had agreed, Jiang Xiu slowly stood up and said.

Seeing Jiang Xiu about to leave, Ya Li felt a sudden pang of sadness, and then a mixture of anger and amusement. "Jiang Xiu, you really are just doing what you're paid to do. The teacher just agreed, and you're already leaving."

"At the very least... at the very least, please finish telling the story of protecting Douluo Continent."

"Teacher Yali, it's Thursday today. The fried chicken shop outside the school is having a promotion. Give me fifty Federal Coins and I'll continue the story," Jiang Xiu said, glancing at the time with a smile.

"Tch~, if you don't tell me, the teacher won't listen." Ya Li pursed her red lips and glanced at Zhen Shou again.

"Then I'll be leaving now." Jiang Xiu smiled slightly, then pushed open the door and prepared to leave.

The book "How to Get a Rich Woman to Help Me in Three Sentences" already recorded that when it's time to run away, you have to run away.

"Wait." Just as Jiang Xiu was about to leave, Ya Li suddenly called out softly.

Ya Li pointed to the potted plant on the table, her blue eyes slightly unfocused, and said, "Jiang Xiu, did you only buy one of these potted plants?"

Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed, and he chuckled, saying, "Yes, I only bought one pot of this Star Orchid."

After saying that, Jiang Xiu left the room directly.

"Hmm." Hearing this, and watching the door slowly close, Ya Li's red lips subtly curled up slightly.

Ya Li stretched out her slender hand and gently touched the swaying Star Orchid, her eyes filled with affection. This potted plant from the Star Luo Continent was unique to her.

Then, Yali picked up the potted plant and placed it among the potted plants on the windowsill.

However, seeing that the star orchid was drooping and clearly lacked sunlight, Yali thought for a moment and placed it in the sunniest central position.

A potted plant with the character "cloud" on it was positioned slightly back...

Yali seemed to suddenly remember something. She had just asked if Jiang Xiu had only bought one potted plant, and Jiang Xiu had said that he had only brought back one potted star orchid...

Immediately, Yali shook her head again; it seemed there was no difference...

She was also preparing to depart for Xuanwu Gate.

Of course, she didn't take Jiang Xiu's words about protecting Douluo Continent seriously, thinking he was just joking.

After all, how could Jiang Xiu, a mere fifteen-year-old boy, protect the Douluo Continent...?
