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

Chapter 282 Xiaoyan, shall I invite you to watch the fireworks?
Above Poseidon Island, a vortex of spiritual energy slowly rotated, like an inverted white funnel, flowing into the pavilion below.

Long Yeyue stepped out of the void and strolled along the bluestone path in front of the pavilion.

She looked up at the spectacular scene, then glanced at the girl guarding the door.

"This kid has broken through again?"

A strange light flashed in Long Yeyue's eyes.

Jiang Yi only broke through to Soul Douluo two years ago, is he about to break through to Title Douluo now?
What a monster...

However, this is enough to demonstrate my wisdom.

Long Yeyue chuckled inwardly.

That is, she made a decisive decision at that time, letting that girl Yinmeng take action to keep the boy at Shrek Academy.

Otherwise, the Tang Clan would have recalled this kid long ago.

After a while, as is customary, his obedient disciple should also return, at which point the two of them will be completely bound together.

"Vice Pavilion Master!"

Xu Xiaoyan bowed respectfully.

Jialin didn't stay with her; instead, on the way back, Ziji dragged her off to play.

Gu Yue's reaction to Jia Lin was unremarkable, but Di Tian and Zi Ji were like old friends meeting again, their eyes filled with tears.

Although Zi Ji is hailed as a rising star of the Hell Dragon clan, she is actually the only Hell Dragon left on the Douluo Continent.

The two of them doted on Jialin and wished they could be with her 24/7.

"Ah."

Long Yeyue nodded slightly, her gaze lingering on Xu Xiaoyan for a moment.

Having experienced trials on the Star Luo Continent, this girl has shed much of her naivety and is now one of the new Shrek Seven Devils, a future backbone of the academy.

As for the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils, it is naturally Jiang Yi, who is currently in seclusion.

"Sister Yue!"

Suddenly, another golden light flashed by and landed on the ground, transforming into a voluptuous and beautiful woman.

Ya-li walked gracefully towards them, her hands clasped in front of her.

Long Yeyue glanced at her and nodded slightly as a greeting.

"Godmother!"

Xu Xiaoyan's eyes lit up, and she ran over to take Ya Li's arm and leaned affectionately on her shoulder.

Yali smiled and patted the back of her hand, then looked at the pavilion where spiritual energy was gathering in front of her.

"Xiao Yan, Yi'er, has she broken through?"

"That's right! Jiang Yi is going to become a Title Douluo!"

Xu Xiaoyan nodded vigorously, her voice full of pride.

This is the first Title Douluo among the new generation of Shrek Academy.

"This child is much better than his godfather..."

Yali smiled slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of pride and satisfaction.

An eighteen-year-old Title Douluo—no, a few months short, a seventeen-year-old Title Douluo—is absolutely unprecedented.

However, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes when she thought of Yun Ming.

Three years have passed, and Brother Ming is still in seclusion.

"Sister Yue, Brother Ming is in seclusion..."

Ya Li suddenly raised her head again and looked at Long Yeyue beside her.

"Cough cough!"

But before she could finish speaking, Long Yeyue coughed lightly, avoiding her gaze.

"Yali, since you're here to look after things, I'll head back to my quarters to handle some business."

Before she finished speaking, her figure had already faded like smoke and vanished without a trace in an instant.

Over the past three years, Ya-li has been subtly probing her, and she has most likely already realized what happened back then.

When Yun Ming found out, he simply hid away, leaving the mess to this old woman.

It's really outrageous!

Is it really that hard to choose between keeping Yali in line, making her disappear, or imprisoning her?
"..."

Ya Li watched Long Yeyue leave, opened her mouth, and finally let out a sigh.

Brother Ming, are you really in seclusion?

Yun Ming had come out of seclusion once before, but he didn't get to talk to her for more than a few words before he hurriedly went back into seclusion.

She remained vague about the answers she wanted to know.

How could I not make her suspicious?

Yali bit her red lips, feeling as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

After decades of marriage, she knew him too well; he would never have acted this way unless he had some unspeakable secret.

Just then, a warm hand gently covered the back of her hand.

"Godmother,"

Xu Xiaoyan looked up at him with concern in her eyes.

"Jiang Yi will definitely be able to break through smoothly."

"Ok!"

Ya Li was taken aback, then her eyes softened, and she looked at Xu Xiaoyan with affection.

Of all the girls around Xiao Yi, this little girl is the most proactive and the most likable.

at this time--

boom!
A booming sound came from inside the attic, and a crimson-gold light shone from it, illuminating half of the courtyard.

……

Boom! Boom!
Inside the attic, Jiang Yi's aura surged and rose steadily, and a crimson-gold soul ring suddenly solidified.

Nine terrifying spirit rings were arranged on his body, red red red red orange orange orange red gold!
"Level 91, Level 92, Level 93!"

Jiang Yi's aura only stopped increasing slowly after his soul power reached level ninety-three.

"call!"

Jiang Yi suppressed his aura and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Eight hundred thousand years!

This is the age limit of his ninth spirit ring. Compared to his spiritual power, his physical body reached its limit first. "Tsk, it's just that his spirit power has only increased by three levels."

Jiang Yi stood up, dusted himself off, and sighed regretfully.

He stopped thinking about it and knew the system would interrupt his soul power leap to ensure his safety.

For a Title Douluo, each level advancement represents a new realm.

Moreover, according to the system's usual practice, this excess energy will also be sealed within his body and released during cultivation.

He cultivated for eleven years, increasing his level by nearly eight levels per year on average, all thanks to the system's talent and his own hard work!

Two levels less, fine, two levels less!
Jiang Yi shook his head, deactivated the soul guidance array, and pushed open the door to go out.

The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the courtyard in a warm golden light. Ya Li and Xu Xiaoyan stood side by side under the tree, gazing intently in this direction.

When they saw him come out, their eyes lit up at the same time.

"Godmother! Xiaoyan!"

He walked up to them with a smile.

"Xiao Yi..."

Yali looked at him with eyes full of relief, and subconsciously reached out to hug him as she used to.

But then, she stopped halfway through extending her hand—

Three years have passed, and Jiang Yi has fully grown up. When he stands in front of Ya Li, he is more than half a head taller than her.

She paused, silently withdrew her hand, and gave a somewhat complicated smile.
"You've grown up!"

However, before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yi stepped forward and gently pulled her into his arms.

"Godmother!"

Jiang Yi gently embraced Ya Li and said solemnly.

"From now on, when your godfather isn't around, let me protect you!"

Yali's body stiffened slightly, then slowly relaxed.

This hug was completely different from before. It had a familiar feel, but carried the composure of a grown man, yet the warmth remained the same.

"Okay! Godmother, I'll be counting on you from now on."

Ya Li chuckled softly and gently put her arms around Jiang Yi.

The panic and loneliness she felt because of Yun Ming had subsided considerably.

Yes, she is not alone.

For three years, Jiang Yi and Na'er accompanied her, filling the emptiness in her heart and preventing her from constantly feeling anxious and insecure.

The two embraced tightly, as always, but there had been some subtle changes in their status and position.

Xu Xiaoyan stood quietly to the side, watching the mother and son embracing, a faint smile spreading across her eyes.

It seems my plan was right; winning over my mother-in-law meant winning over Jiang Yi.

Moreover, in recent years, Gu Yue has been immersed in soul experiments, while Ye Xinglan, Wu Siduo, and Dai Yun'er have gone out to train together.

In this Shrek Chicken Dinner Competition, I, Xu Xiaoyan, have already overtaken everyone else!

After counting the breaths.

"All right!"

Ya Li gently pushed Jiang Yi away, glancing at Xu Xiaoyan out of the corner of her eye, and teased her with a smile.

"I won't bother you young people any longer."

Yali waved to the two of them and turned to leave.

The setting sun cast a long shadow of her, her skirt brushing against the cobblestone path as she walked away into the distance.

Only the two of them remained in the same spot.

Congratulations, Jiang Yi!

Xu Xiaoyan stood with her hands behind her back, tilted her head to look at him, and her eyes were filled with a smile.

"A seventeen-year-old Title Douluo."

He is truly the man I like!

"Then...shouldn't there be some kind of reward?"

Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow and smiled, then reached out and put his arm around her waist, naturally pulling her into his embrace.

Xu Xiaoyan blinked, then wrapped her arms around his neck, tilted her head back, and offered her red lips.

This wasn't the first time the two had kissed.

For three years, they were almost inseparable, and their relationship was just one step away from becoming a real one.

The two embraced, reciprocating each other's feelings.

After a long time, the lips parted.

The two sat side by side on a bench by the lake, watching the surface of Poseidon Lake shimmer with golden light in the distance.

"Jiang Yi!"

Xu Xiaoyan raised her head, stuck out her tongue at Jiang Yi, and looked at him with a shy yet expectant gaze.

"The Sea God's Fate Tournament will be held in two months..."

"I'll give you a surprise then."

Jiang Yi smiled and pinched her little face.

"really?"

Xu Xiaoyan's eyes lit up, and she almost jumped up.

"Ok!"

Jiang Yi nodded, but muttered to himself inwardly.

Surprise! There will definitely be surprises, but as for joy... well, that depends on the situation.

Xiaoyan, shall I invite you to watch the fireworks?
……

After spending some time cuddling with Xu Xiaoyan, the two parted ways as darkness gradually fell.

Cat's Tail Tavern.

Three figures gathered in the backyard and began a secret meeting of the Holy Spirit Cult.

"I have already sent out the Shrek City defense map."

"The Ghost Emperor has instructed us to prepare for the attack. The initial date for the attack is set for one month from now..."

　I have a bit of a cold, and my thoughts are a bit jumbled. I need to sort things out.
