Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 170 This child must not be allowed to live...

"Ok?"

Jiang Yi looked up and saw three figures slowly descending from the dome; it was Yun Ming and the other two.

"Although I don't know how you did it, you just absorbed half of the Golden Tree's energy."

"Do you know how long it takes to accumulate this energy? Five thousand years, a full five thousand years!"

Yun Ming landed on the ground, his face full of cold and stern expressions, as if Jiang Yi had committed some heinous crime.

"Do you know what a huge loss this is for the academy!"

He shouted coldly, his eyes fixed on Jiang Yi.

"Master, I don't know either!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi blinked, his face full of innocence.

"After His Holiness the Holy Spirit bestowed that blessing upon the student, the student lost consciousness. When he opened his eyes, he saw three teachers..."

As Jiang Yi spoke, his gaze fell upon Ya Li.

You're kidding me? No way! He has a perfectly legitimate reason!
"Cough cough... Jiang Yi, the commotion you caused is not something that the Blessing of Life could produce... What exactly did you do?"

When Ya Li saw Jiang Yi looking at her, a hint of helplessness appeared on her face, but her eyes were somewhat unfocused.

"I don't know... During the blessing of life, I vaguely saw a hazy figure, and then a green light entered my body... and then I passed out."

Jiang Yi seemed somewhat flustered when he saw that Ya Li had said the same thing.

"A hazy figure? A green dot?"

Yun Ming raised an eyebrow; this was somewhat unexpected.

He pondered for a moment, could it be Mr. Jin?
The Golden Tree has existed in Shrek Academy for 20,000 years. As the tree spirit, Elder Golden Tree can be considered the guardian of Shrek Academy.

Since it was Jin Yong's doing, it is naturally beneficial to the academy.

"Exactly! Those green specks even stained my blood green..."

Jiang Yi nodded, not hiding anything from Yun Ming and the others; such a commotion couldn't be kept secret.

Moreover, this is the best time to win Shrek's trust.

After Jiang Yi finished speaking, he stretched out his arm, flicked his fingertips, and a wisp of emerald green blood energy surged out.

“Such a strong vitality!”

Ya Li looked at the wisp of green blood in Jiang Yi's hand in surprise. As a healing soul master, she could feel the immense life force contained within it.

If Jiang Yi's entire body's energy and blood were like this, then he would practically be a humanoid, top-grade immortal herb.

"Let this old woman take a look..."

Long Yeyue, who had been silent all along, suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Yi's shoulder without saying a word, and a powerful surge of soul force rushed into his body.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Jiang Yi's eyes, but he ultimately suppressed it.

With a thought, he activated the system's shielding function, revealing only the Seed of Nature and the Qi and Blood Vortex.

"A vortex of qi and blood... That's strange! Are you perhaps a reincarnated soul beast?"

Long Yeyue immediately sensed the vortex of qi and blood in her dantian and exclaimed in surprise. Then, she frowned.

"These are seeds from the golden tree..."

Long Yeyue seemed to have thought of something, and her face showed some disbelief.

She recalled some records in the ancient books of the academy, in which some top-level plant beings could condense a seed and give it to a child of nature.

This Child of Nature is recognized by nature and is the darling of the natural world. This is a secret that one of Shrek's ancestors accidentally learned from a plant-type ferocious beast.

But these seeds of nature only appear when nature is severely damaged. Could it be that this era is about to undergo a major upheaval...?

Long Yeyue gave Jiang Yi a deep look, withdrew her hand, and turned her gaze to Yun Ming beside her.

The legend of a god who reigns for ten thousand years is naturally not limited to the Tang Sect.

The most important reason why Shrek Academy has been able to stand firm on the continent for 20,000 years is its reputation as the Academy of Gods.

Yun Ming seemed to have received Long Yeyue's telepathic message, and looked at Jiang Yi with surprise.

“Although you didn’t do it on purpose, the academy has still suffered such a great loss! You should know that half of the Golden Tree’s energy could probably help the academy overcome a life-or-death crisis.”

Yun Ming's heart stirred slightly, but his face remained cold and stern.

"But now it's all gone. This means that if the academy faces a crisis in the next five thousand years, it will lose its biggest trump card."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi resisted the urge to roll his eyes and glanced at Ya Li discreetly. He saw that she was staring down at the tips of her shoes, looking somewhat uneasy.

He smiled inwardly, as if he had guessed something.

"Sect Master, how can I make amends? If it is within my power, I will do my utmost to compensate the academy!"

Jiang Yi sighed, a look of self-reproach and guilt on his face.

"This is, after all, your opportunity. Although it caused losses to the academy, it's not entirely your fault."

Upon hearing this, a hint of a smile flashed in Yun Ming's eyes, but he still kept a straight face.

"So, I don't need you to do anything else, I just need your promise."

Yun Ming paused, then said with a very serious expression.

"If there is a need in the future, you must agree to one request from the academy. Of course, this request will not harm your interests. How about it?"

"Okay! The student agrees!"

Jiang Yi agreed without hesitation, letting out a sigh of relief as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

"A word is settled!"

Seeing Jiang Yi agree, Yun Ming finally couldn't hold back his smile, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

You're still too young!
"A word is settled!"

Jiang Yi nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, then bowed to the three of them.

"If there's nothing else, then I'll take my leave."

After saying that, Jiang Yi hurriedly left, as if some primordial beast was behind him.

After Jiang Yi left, Ya Li raised her head and looked at Yun Ming with a troubled expression.

"Brother Ming, isn't it a bit wrong for us to scheme against a child like this..."

Yali blushed slightly, feeling a little ashamed.

Jiang Yi trusts me so much, and I'm even following Brother Ming, trying to trick him into falling into my trap.

"The energy lost by the Golden Tree is real!"

Yun Ming waved his hand dismissively and said it was nothing to worry about.

So many people outside are vying to be Jiang Yi's adopted son, the Sky-Supporting Douluo; this is Jiang Yi's good fortune.

Then, he looked at Long Yeyue beside him and asked again to confirm.

"Sister Yue! What you just said is all true..."

The emergence of the Child of Nature signifies a reshaping of the natural world's order, presenting new opportunities but often accompanied by risks.

"Of course! Do you think I've lived all these years in vain?"

Long Yeyue gave a light hum, speaking with absolute certainty.

"Then it seems I'll have to go see Brother Zang!"

Yun Ming laughed.

Although the ancient golden tree suffered considerable damage this time, it also gave him an excellent excuse.

As for the safety of the college?

With him in charge, even if Emperor Tian himself came, he would surely make sure that the creature never returned!

Before he finished speaking, Yun Ming had already vanished into the void, heading towards Tian Dou City.

"Sister Yue! I'll be going now!"

Yali nodded slightly and turned to leave.

With the final exams for the foreign language department approaching, she still has many things to do.

Long Yeyue did not care about Ya Li's departure, but stood alone in the hall.

"Children of Nature..."

Her eyes flickered, and after pondering for a long time, she finally chose a direction and left.

This child must not be left to anyone else!
