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

Chapter 243 Arrival in Xingluo! I'm Not a Train Killer 3.0!

a.

"Ugh——!"

A long, drawn-out whistle pierced the sea as two giant ships slowly approached, finally revealing the dark coastline to the public.

An uncontrollable cheer erupted on the deck.

"Wuhu~ We've finally arrived!"

Xu Xiaoyan sat on Jiang Yi's shoulders, raised her hands high, and let out a cheer.

The nearly two months they spent adrift at sea were a real ordeal for these young Soul Masters.

There's only so much space on the ship, it's impossible to move around freely.

"Alright, get off quickly, the boat is about to dock."

Jiang Yi gently patted the girl's leg.
He reached out and smoothed down the hem of her skirt, which was being lifted by the sea breeze, to prevent her from exposing herself. Although he knew she was wearing white leggings, it had become a habit.

"Know it--"

Xu Xiaoyan gave a soft snort, and like a panda, she wrapped her arms around his neck and slid off him.

Not far away, Yali walked out of the cabin.

"Young people are so energetic..."

She couldn't help but smile as she watched the two of them playfully bickering.

Behind her, Tang Wuling and the other Shrek Academy students also arrived on the deck one after another to gather.

Soon, the Star Luo arrived at the west coast of the Star Luo Continent, ending its nearly two-month-long ocean voyage.

On the shore, the Star Luo Empire had already prepared a grand welcoming ceremony.

Colorful flags fluttered, and melodious music filled the air as officials from Xingluo, dressed in formal attire, lined up to welcome them.

However, most of those who came to exchange ideas were elites from various fields who were used to the world and did not react much.

The Star Luo Empire's exchange delegation was given a day off.

"Brother Jiang, and all our friends from Shrek Academy, we'll be taking our leave now!"

Dai Yueyan stepped forward and bowed in farewell.

Beside him were the group from Monster Academy; since the princess and prince were present, they would not travel together afterward.

"Goodbye."

Jiang Yi and the others nodded slightly.

During the two months on the Starship, everyone exchanged ideas and became old friends, especially Dai Yun'er.

"I'll be waiting for you in Xingluo City!"

Long Yue strode up to Jiang Yi, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.

This kid actually broke through to the Soul Saint realm, which made him even happier.

He extended his fist and bumped it with Jiang Yi's.

"I didn't expect you to break through so quickly... Very good. I'll go into seclusion for a few days, and then we'll have a good fight."

The Star Luo Continent is their home ground, and this battle is not just about individual victory or defeat.

"Ok!"

Jiang Yi smiled politely.

Compared to fighting the bald giant, he would much rather fight the Bed-Under-the-Bed Douluo for three hundred rounds under the bed.

After exchanging pleasantries, the eight members of Monster Academy turned and boarded the vehicle that had come to pick them up.

"Xiao Yan! See you in Xingluo City! I'll take you to eat the most delicious snacks then—"

Dai Yun'er leaned half her body out of the car window and waved vigorously at Xu Xiaoyan.

This is the friendship between two lazy bums.

Goodbye, Sister Yun!

Xu Xiaoyan also waved her arms, watching the luxury bus disappear at the end of the port avenue.

"Then I should leave now."

The crowd dispersed slightly, and Gu Yue led the group from the Spirit Pagoda out, nodding slightly to the Shrek Academy members.

Of course, her gaze was mainly focused on Jiang Yi.

The others were also very considerate, quietly stepping back a few paces and handing over their seats to the two of them.

Their relationship was essentially exposed to the public eye after that ball.

No one felt anything was wrong; Shrek Academy and Spirit Pagoda were, on the surface, still allies working together.

"See you later!"

Jiang Yi nodded in response, his movements perfectly proper under everyone's watchful eyes.

In the brief exchange of glances, he subtly gave Gu Yue a look.

"..."

Gu Yue understood, but gave him a disapproving look.

The next second, she felt a soft, warm touch on her lips from a distance.

Ever since Jiang Yi joined the Silver Dragon King's chat group, he has been thinking about some strange and unusual attempts.

For example, kissing remotely...

Gu Yue's expression remained calm, but her eyes narrowed slightly, while she inwardly cursed someone.

Are you trying to kill yourself?! There are so many people here...

[What are you afraid of? They don't know!] A hint of a smile flashed in Jiang Yi's eyes as he winked at her.

To outsiders, it was just a tender gaze exchanged between the two as they parted.

"..."

Gu Yue glared at him, but gave up resisting.

In public, such intimate behavior in secret brings a strange sense of thrill and transgression.

A moment later, the warm sensation quietly dissipated.

"gone!"

Gu Yue subconsciously licked her lips, turned around and left, her back view crisp and clean.

Let's wait a little longer; who knows what tricks this lecher will pull!
"Moon, be careful on the road."

Jiang Yi smiled and waved.

This Silver Dragon King bloodline is just too useful! If he weren't afraid of Gu Yue's mother's wrath, he would have liked to try the legendary...

"elder brother?"

Tang Wuling walked to Jiang Yi's side and glanced at him.

For a fleeting moment, she felt inexplicably strange, like she was having a nervous breakdown.
"Ok?"

Jiang Yi withdrew his gaze and ruffled Xiao Wuling's hair.
"what happened?"

"nothing……"

Tang Wuling shook her head, attributing that slight feeling of unease to her own imagination.

"Shrek folks, please come this way."

Shortly after, Sima Lanxiao appeared and guided the Shrek Academy members onto the prepared Soul Guidance Train.

Many people travel to Xingluo City, as it is the capital of Xingluo and the first choice for many exchange groups.

Students from Star Luo Royal Academy were traveling in the same carriage as Shrek Academy.

After the train started moving, I could faintly hear the hushed conversations from the seats next to me:

"Does Xingluo really have a chance of winning this competition?"

"Hard to say... Did you guys notice during the last sea spirit beast attack? It seemed like everyone on Shrek Academy's side was at least a fourth ring, and some were even fifth rings..."

"That Soul Saint, he probably won't participate, right? Otherwise, even the Dragon King probably wouldn't be able to win."

"I have a plan. Why don't we have the little princess find a husband? Then we'll be guaranteed to win."

The young people got carried away with their conversation and would occasionally steal glances at Shrek.

At one end of the carriage, the Shrek members sat in groups of four, facing each other in pairs, while Jiang Yi's group was the East Sea group of four.

Jiang Yi and Xie Xie sat together, while Xu Xiaoyan and Tang Wuling sat opposite each other.

"Hehe...Looking for a son-in-law~"

Xu Xiaoyan, with her sharp ears, caught those key words.

She rolled her big eyes, leaned forward, rested her elbows on the small table, and looked at Jiang Yi with her chin in her hand.

"Jiang Yi, do you want a wife?"

If you're willing to say so, I'll do it myself!
"..."

Jiang Yi rolled his eyes and slapped the back of her outstretched hand.

"Stop fooling around. We're here to exchange and learn, be serious."

One of Shrek Academy's key objectives in participating in the exchange was to accept the invitation from Monster Academy.

It was called an invitation, but it was actually a challenge. Before they even arrived, Monster Academy had already started building momentum in the Star Luo Empire.

"Oh--"

Xu Xiaoyan spread her hands, but she wasn't too disappointed and was still smiling.

"Another Soul Guidance Train... I wonder what little surprises await on the way."

Xie Xie sat by the window, watching the scenery rushing past outside, his tone tinged with a hint of teasing.

I don't know if it was a landslide, an earthquake, or even a robbery...

Swish-!
No sooner had he finished speaking than a sesame seed cake flew right at him.

Xie Xie hurriedly caught it, but the force was so great that it made him wince. It was too violent!

"Humph!"

Tang Wuling glared at him and pouted.

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river! Besides, this is Star Luo, not the Federation..."

She straightened her back and said with conviction.

"If there's any unexpected event, then send a group of evil spirit masters right now."

After saying that, she turned to look at Jiang Yi, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Brother, what do you think?"

My brother definitely believes me. I'm not a train killer; it was just a minor accident before.

Don’t believe rumors and don’t spread rumors!
"..."

However, Jiang Yi blinked, then suddenly raised his hand and pointed out the window.

At the edge of the once cloudless sky, a group of small black dots appeared out of nowhere and were rapidly growing larger.

"They're coming!"
