Douluo Continent: Becoming a disciple of Jing Liu, illuminating all the gods

Chapter 56 Noumenon Sect

Suddenly, the soul power that Chen Qiye was about to unleash vanished in an instant.

The shattered spirit rings reassembled.

Chen Qiye supported himself with his hands and asked, "Announce the results of the competition."

Even the Heavenly Fiend Douluo dared not meet Chen Qiye's gaze. His reaction was somewhat slow, and several minutes passed before he finally spoke slowly: "Yes, you won, you really won..."

Upon hearing the news of victory, Chen Qiye had already fallen into a complete coma.

With a wave of his hand, Elder Xuan helped Chen Qiye up, and then disappeared from everyone's sight with Chen Qiye.

The day after receiving their award, the Shrek students quietly flew back to Shrek Academy.

In front of Shrek Academy—

"You little rascal, well done! You didn't embarrass Shrek Academy." Fan Yu patted Chen Qiye's shoulder heavily.

"Pfft!" Chen Qiye, who was still recovering from serious injuries, suffered a new wound.

"Chen Qiye!" ×n

Fan Yu was startled and quickly checked Chen Qiye's injuries. She frowned and said, "You little brat, you didn't even tell me you were injured so badly. I should have hit you less hard."

Yan Shaozhe smiled silently. As a titled Douluo, how could he not understand what had happened? But he didn't want to interfere in other people's affairs: "You have contributed a lot to the academy in this competition... Therefore, your rewards will be distributed by the Sea God Pavilion."

To the astonishment of the inner court disciples, Yan Shaozhe led everyone to the front of the Sea God Pavilion and respectfully said, "Teacher, they've returned."

"Come in, everyone!" Old Mu's voice came from inside.

Apart from Chen Qiye, everyone else marveled at Shrek Academy's wonders as they went inside.

At the long wooden table, Yan Shaozhe announced everyone's rewards. However, when he read Chen Qiye's name, he paused and said, "I'm sorry, Xiao Ye, even with Shrek Academy's millennia-long foundation, there isn't a suitable soul bone for you. So, as compensation, if you want to hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the future, we will send at least five Title Douluos to help you hunt them."

100,000 years!? The Shrek Academy members were shocked. They hadn't expected the academy to think so highly of Chen Qiye, considering that even Elder Xuan, who was only a 100,000-year soul ring away from becoming a level 99 Limit Douluo, only had one.

Chen Qiye knew that even if he didn't win the match, he would still help kill the 10-year-old soul beast, but...

"In this Soul Master Competition, you upheld the honor for the academy. Now, the academy will bestow upon you a well-deserved honor: from this day forward, you are the new generation of the Shrek Seven Devils, for life..."

"As for Xiao Xiao..."

"No need, just give my spot to Xiao Xiao." Chen Qiye, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

Upon hearing this, the four deans immediately looked at him as if he were a monster, especially Fan Yu, who shouted, "You brat, what are you saying?"

Yan Shaozhe frowned and asked, "Chen Qiye, are you sure? This is only the second time in the academy's history that the title of 'Seven Eccentrics' has been awarded for life."

"I'm sure!" Chen Qiye shrugged, looking completely indifferent.

"In that case, let Xiao Xiao take Qin Wangyu's place and become one of the Seven Devils."

……

"Except for Chen Qiye, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao, who will be cultivating here with me for a while, everyone else should go back."

"Seven Nights, come help me up."

Chen Qiye raised an eyebrow, but still walked to the main seat and helped Elder Mu sit up straight.

"It seems you already knew," Old Mu said with a smile.

Qin Wangyu smiled slightly, as a response to Elder Mu. "Little ones, come here. To be honest, we're old friends."

"It's you!" ×3

The moment they saw Elder Mu's true face, the three of them exclaimed in unison.

"Hehe..." Old Mu smiled slightly.

……

"Seven Nights, go to the middle room. Hopefully, that room will be of some help to you now."

"Go, child."

"Thank you, Elder Mu." Chen Qiye said his thanks and turned to walk toward the room Elder Mu had pointed out to him.

"Are you really not going to regret it? The title of Shrek Seven Devils for life, that's something so many people dream of."

Just as Chen Qiye was about to step into the room, Elder Mu's voice rang in his ears.

Chen Qiye gazed into the pitch-black room, his red eyes instantly turning golden, his gaze calm and still. Regardless of whether Elder Mu could hear him, he softly said:

"If it never belonged to me, why force it?"

"Besides, I might not even belong to this world..."

……

Looking at the extremely oppressive atmosphere in the sky, Chen Qiye knew that the people from the Body Sect had arrived.

Their goal was Huo Yuhao. When everyone was arranged to a safe area, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion appeared one after another and confronted the people of the Body Sect in the air. Shrek Academy had a complete advantage in terms of the number of peak combatants, but this was Shrek Academy. Once these people started fighting, it would inevitably lead to the destruction of Shrek Academy.

When Chen Qiye stood beside Elder Mu, Wang Dong nervously tried to grasp Chen Qiye's hand, but whether intentionally or unintentionally, he dodged away. Elder Mu, on the other hand, calmly gazed at Elder Xuan, who was still confronting Du Busi in the sky.

"Chen Qiye, are you worried about Elder Xuan?" Elder Mu's gentle voice rang in Chen Qiye's ears.

Chen Qiye shook his head and said, "Actually, I'm not surprised at all why the Body Sect would come to Shrek Academy. Last time, someone from them invited Huo Yuhao back to the sect, but after being taught a lesson by Elder Xuan, the Body Sect naturally wouldn't give up on Huo Yuhao. As long as Huo Yuhao is still at Shrek Academy, the Body Sect is destined to keep its evil intentions."

For miles around, the entire sky changed color because of their battle, one side a deep yellow, the other a domineering dark green.

Each occupied one side of the sky, while at the intersection of the two colors, the battle between Elder Xuan and Poison Undying raged fiercely. This was truly a terrifying contest that shook the very heavens and earth!

In mid-air, the Taotie Divine Ox, transformed from Elder Xuan, charged forward fiercely, its yellow light crashing towards Poison Undying like a monstrous wave.

The dark green giant that Poison Immortal had transformed into strode through the void, fearlessly charging forward without flinching.

With a deafening roar, the two collided in mid-air.

In that instant, all the powerful figures who were originally floating in the air, whether from Shrek Academy or the Body Sect, quickly fell back to the ground.

A terrifying pressure descended from the sky, persisting until it reached a point nearly a hundred meters above the ground before dissipating. This wasn't due to the combined power of the two powerful figures in the air; rather, it was the result of their deliberate control. After all, neither wanted to affect their own people. Moreover, it seemed that Du Bu Si had no intention of fighting Xuan Lao to the death.

Despite this, Wang Dong, who was on the ground, swayed precariously, his face deathly pale. The terrifying pressure was as if the sky had collapsed.

Chen Qiye's pupils changed, turning into golden eyes, and the pressure around Wang Dong instantly disappeared.

Wang Dong looked at Chen Qiye blankly, "He made this..."
