Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

However, because Luo Guixing's strength was relatively low, his influence on space was insufficient. The loss of control over the separation between the two realms only caused some minor misalignment in that space, leaving only a few long bloody marks on Li Mengyang's body.

Li Mengyang winced in pain, let out a muffled groan, and took two steps back.

Before he could even stand up straight, two golden ribbons flew out from his wings and wrapped around his arms.

Golden liquid flowed from the gold-infused silk and seeped into Li Mengyang's body.

Suddenly, a feeling of exhaustion washed over Li Mengyang.

The golden silk ribbon contracted, pulling Li Mengyang directly in front of the Netherworld White Tiger.

"Ah!" Li Mengyang mustered his strength, and flames erupted from his body.

Then, with a "smack," the Netherworld White Tiger shoved Li Mengyang's head into the sparring arena.

"Class 1, Grade 1, Wu Siduo and Luo Guixing win." Cai Yue'er put down Li Mengtian, pulled Li Mengyang out of the ring, and announced the winner of the match.

Another crushing victory.

In this two-on-two match, Li Mengyang and his sister suffered a crushing defeat. They were completely helpless against Luo Guixing's spatial abilities and didn't even have a chance to use their strongest trump card, the Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

Although the sun was shining brightly, the third grade, class one seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds, with everyone's face filled with gloom and dejection.

Chu Ci glanced at Class 1 of the third grade, and when he saw the fear in their eyes that they tried so hard to hide but couldn't erase, he smiled gently, and the challenge was over.

Sure enough, Song Lin, the homeroom teacher of Class 1, Grade 3, said to Cai Yue'er on the stage in a deep voice: "Teacher Cai, we give up the team battle, we admit defeat."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Xie Xie turned to look at Chu Ci and said in surprise, "My God, you were right about the class monitor."

Chu Ci said calmly, "Their confidence has collapsed. If they continue fighting, they probably won't even be able to unleash 20% of their strength."

"Rather than continue to suffer a miserable defeat, it's better to simply admit defeat, which will also prevent the remaining one-word battle armor master from being discouraged."

"Alright!" Tang Wulin shook his head with slight regret; he still wanted to show off his skills.

"Class 1 of Grade 3 forfeits the seven-on-seven match; the combined team of Grades 1 and 2 wins the challenge." Cai Yue'er declared decisively, announcing the final result.

Only then did a thunderous cheer erupt from the first and second grade stands.

Chu Ci glanced at her cheering companions, her eyes darting around. She turned and hugged Gu Yue, wanting to celebrate with her.

Gu Yue blushed slightly as she looked at Chu Ci, who was hugging her, a hint of doubt rising in her eyes. She had a feeling that Chu Ci wasn't celebrating, but rather taking advantage of her.

"I have an announcement to make." Cai Yue'er's voice resounded throughout the arena. The aura of a Title Douluo quickly suppressed the cheers and noise in the arena.

All eyes turned to Elder Cai, who said in a deep voice, "In view of the outstanding performance of the first and second year joint teams in the challenge, the academy will select a group of students from the two classes to participate in an exchange program to the Star Luo Continent in six months. You need to work even harder to earn a spot on the Star Luo Continent. The exchange program will last for one year."

Chapter 155 Prelude to the Journey to the Star Luo Continent

Upon hearing this, Chu Ci's brows furrowed slightly. Unbeknownst to her, the plot had already progressed to this point.

The Star Luo Continent was originally the Star Luo Empire on the Douluo Continent. Under pressure from the Sun Moon Empire, the predecessor of the Federation, the Star Luo Empire sent troops to find a continent suitable for human habitation and then moved there, thus forming the Star Luo Continent.

Thinking of this, Chu Ci's gaze fell on Gu Yue's face. During the trip to the Star Luo Continent, the Soul Beast faction had made quite a few moves. Should he get involved?

Gu Yue noticed that Chu Ci was staring intently at her, and her ears turned slightly red. She suppressed her inner panic and insisted on looking straight ahead.

After Cai Yue'er announced the arrangements, the students left the sparring arena one after another to attend to their own training.

Chu Ci generously donated money to rent a cultivation room, where he led Gu Yue and the others to discuss the news announced by Cai Yue'er.

"It's highly likely that only a few of us will be going to the Star Luo Continent for this exchange, so everyone should be prepared," Chu Ci said.

Yuan Enhui frowned and said, "To be honest, I'm not too willing to leave. Everyone's cultivation has gotten back on track, and this year that was delayed was actually quite important."

Chu Ci nodded and said, "The academy must have considered this. During this year of exchange, we shouldn't lack cultivation resources."

"Moreover, the Star Luo Continent has its own unique characteristics, and this generation has produced several geniuses. It wouldn't hurt to go and see for yourself."

The people present nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"For you, the most crucial issue right now is the production of the One-Word Battle Armor. In the next six months, Wu Lin, you need to forge enough spirit metal so as not to delay your progress," Chu Ci said.

Xie Xie complained, "Why bother with battle armor? Class monitor, why don't you make us a soul weapon instead!"

Upon hearing this, the others present all looked intently at Chu Ci. Having witnessed the power of the Soul Weapon, they frankly admitted that they also wanted one.

Chu Ci spread his hands and said helplessly, "I've said it so many times, I will make it for you, it's just that the time is not right yet. You should make the One-Word Battle Armor first, and then I will directly transform the One-Word Battle Armor into a Soul Weapon."

"Do we need to find the right time to forge a soul weapon?" Le Zhengyu asked.

Chu Ci smiled mysteriously, "This is related to a deal I made with Shrek Academy."

Upon hearing this, everyone rolled their eyes and shouted, "The Riddler, get out of Shrek Academy!"

The exchange spots to the Star Luo Continent were quickly announced. The first-year students from Class 1 were Chu Ci, Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, Ye Xinglan, Xu Lizhi, Xie Xie, and Xu Yan. The second-year students from Class 1 were Yuan Enyehui and Le Zhengyu. A total of nine students were selected.

Leading teacher Wu Changkong.Besides Wuchangkong, the team leader, Yinyue Douluo Cai Yueer.

……

Six months later,

Shrek Academy, Lingbing Square.

On the bench, Na'er leaned on Chu Ci's shoulder and said coquettishly, "Brother, are you willing to leave me here and go to the Star Luo Continent by yourself?"

Chu Ci smiled wryly, "This is the academy's arrangement, what can I do?"

"Hmph, but I'm worried about you!" Na'er said.

Chu Ci gently stroked Na'er's soft silver hair and said tenderly, "Be good, Na'er. While I'm gone, cultivate diligently, okay?"

Na'er nodded and said, "I understand, brother. After you come back, Na'er will definitely be a one-word battle armor master!"

Chu Ci gently pinched Na'er's nose and said affectionately, "Na'er is really amazing!"

Just then, Chu Ci's phone rang with a message notification.

After Chu Ci finished reading the document, he said to Na'er, "Na'er, I made plans with my classmates to climb the tower today, so I'm leaving now. You should go back to the inner courtyard."

"Okay, goodbye brother!" Na'er said rather reluctantly.

Chu Ci arrived at the academy gate and met Gu Yue and five others who were waiting for him.

Chu Ci strode forward and said, "This time we're charging into the tower to help Tang Wulin obtain a level 40 soul spirit. Let's go."

After tireless efforts, Tang Wulin finally reached level 40. After consuming a level 4 Soul Nourishing Pill, he successfully broke through to level 40.

Today, Chu Ci and the others are here to help him break through the tower and obtain his second soul spirit.

When everyone arrived at the Spirit Pagoda, Chu Ci realized something: was Tang Wulin's Tyrannosaurus Rex soul gone?

Chu Ci stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and finally concluded: It doesn't matter, just find Tang Wulin a dragon-type soul spirit. Under the nourishment of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, it's all the same.

The group entered the Spirit Pagoda and saw Leng Yaozhu once again.

However, unlike the last time when she simply came to pick up Gu Yue, this time Leng Yaozhu was clearly there for Chu Ci.

Before they could even exchange three sentences, Leng Yaozhu had already brought up the topic of soul weapons.

In response, Chu Ci wore a polite smile and said calmly, "Higher-level soul weapons are currently under research. In the future, when the results are available, more soul masters will possess soul weapons."

Leng Yaozhu sighed helplessly, rubbing her forehead, and said, "It's that line again, Chu Ci. You know I don't want to hear it."

Why "again"? Naturally, it's because ever since Chu Ci displayed his Soul Weapon in the third-year challenge, countless forces have been drawn to inquire about it, but all of them have been turned away by the War God Temple and Shrek Academy.

This only demonstrates the ability of Soul Weapons to transform into armor. Once Soul Weapons display abilities surpassing those of Four-Word Battle Armor, some powerful forces might go mad.

Leng Yaozhu looked at Chu Ci for a while, then waved her hand helplessly and said, "Let's go charge the tower!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Tianfeng."

Afterwards, Chu Ci and the others completed the tower assault, helping Tang Wulin obtain a ten-thousand-year-old Ironclad Dragon Soul Spirit. After absorbing it, Tang Wulin's strength increased significantly once again.

After conquering the tower, Leng Yaozhu gave her contact information to Chu Ci.

"Chu Ci, I hope you will give this matter much consideration."

Chu Ci smiled gently and said, "It's good that Pavilion Master Yun and Palace Master Chen agree."

Leng Yaozhu was even more frustrated. Yun Ming and Chen Xinjie were both stubborn and had terrible tempers; getting them to agree was harder than getting the sky to fall.

As for threats of force, no one has actually considered that method. With Yun Ming and Chen Xinjie combined, no one in the entire Douluo Continent can threaten them.

It seems the only option is for Gu Yue to subtly probe the matter, Leng Yaozhu thought.

"Class begins." Wu Changkong walked behind the podium and announced the start of today's lesson.

"Stand up," Chu Ci called out habitually.

Rise and bow. The lesson begins.

"Before we begin, I have an announcement to make. Chu Ci, Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, Xie Xie, Xu Yan, Xu Lizhi, and Ye Xinglan, today is your last day of class. You will have a day to rest tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow you will depart to participate in an exchange activity to the Star Luo Continent. I will be leading the team. Therefore, today's class will also be my last class for the next year."

"The class positions of Chu Ci, Tang Wulin, and Gu Yue will be temporarily filled by Wu Siduo and Luo Guixing. Wu Siduo will be the class monitor, and Luo Guixing will be the vice class monitor. Yang Nianxia will be added as vice class monitor and forging committee member..."

Chapter 156 Departure, Set Off

The bell rings.

Wu Siduo and Luo Guixing walked up to Chu Ci and said, "See you in a year."

Chu Ci nodded slightly and said, "Yes, you two should cultivate diligently at Shrek Academy, and go to the Temple of War to cultivate during the holidays. I have left you enough things to learn at the Temple of War. If you have any questions, send me a message."

"Yes, got it!"

Chu Ci smiled and said, "Okay, I'll bring you some souvenirs when I get back."

Wu Siduo's eyes lit up. "Really?"

Chu Ci is always quite generous with his gifts, and the souvenirs he brings are definitely worth looking forward to.

"Alright, everyone go back now. Go back and pack your things." Chu Ci stood up and led everyone out of the classroom.

……

Chu Ci and his companions arrived at a city they had been away from for a long time, Tianhai City.

The Shrek Academy group consisted of eleven people, led by Silver Moon Douluo Cai Yue'er, with Tian Bingwu Changkong as their instructor. The students were Chu Ci, Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, Yuanen Yehui, Le Zhengyu, Xie Xie, Xu Yan, Xu Lizhi, and Ye Xinglan.

They came to Tianhai City to meet up with the Xingluo Continent delegation, who would then travel by ship back to Xingluo Continent from here.
