Douluo Continent: Starting from Leading Ferocious Beasts to Transform into Demons

Chapter 20 The Mark of the Sea God

"Have we arrived yet?"

Long Xiaoyao slowly opened his eyes and gazed into the distance at the prosperous city, Shrek City, where the world's number one academy was located.

"That's right, Elder. According to our scouts, they all arrived yesterday, and they've probably started planning their exploration of the Star Dou Great Forest today."

Zhang Peng's face was cold and stern, and a bloody aura emanated from him.

"Just let me know when they start taking action."

Long Xiaoyao frowned, said nothing more, and waved for Zhang Peng to leave.

"I will obey the orders of the Supreme Elder."

Zhang Peng slowly retreated, his face covered in a fine layer of cold sweat. It was common knowledge that this Supreme Elder disliked the practices of evil spirit masters. Although he knew that as long as he didn't take people to cultivate in front of the other party, he would be fine, but the pressure on him was still great.

Zhang Peng also looked in the direction of Shrek City, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

He once began to refine the souls and blood of soul beasts for cultivation because of the special abilities of his martial soul. He was cultivating well in a small soul beast forest when a man named Mu En came to his home and accused him of being an evil soul master. After beating him half to death, he was spared when he learned that Mu En only used soul beasts for cultivation. Mu En forced Mu En to go into seclusion in the mountains.

Zhang Peng: Me? A demonic spirit master? ??

After that, Zhang Peng was able to barely cultivate at first, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Finally, he found the Holy Spirit Cult, the gathering place of evil soul masters, and joined it, becoming a true evil soul master.

But the humiliation of that day remains etched in Zhang Peng's memory, one he will never forget.

"This time, you'll be at the forefront so we can enjoy the benefits."

A strange smile appeared on Zhang Peng's face. This operation was led by the Supreme Elder, a Limit Douluo, and he and six other Title Douluos had also come. They would let those Soul Masters eliminate the dangers for them first, and then, like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, they would be the ultimate winners.

Long Xiaoyao's mood was also not calm. No one knew whether the anomaly in the Star Dou Great Forest was related to the gods, after all, a silver dragon appeared in the anomaly at that time.

But he wanted to try. Because of guilt and love, he had to help the evildoer and protect the development of Ye Xishui's Holy Spirit Cult, committing countless sins.

He wanted to give it a try. If there really was a clue to becoming a god, he was confident that he could obtain it. Then he could take Ye Xishui to the realm of gods and never have to associate with evil again. Everything in the mortal world would be irrelevant to them.

Long Xiaoyao gazed at the pillar of light, his aura surging.

······

"Second Father, aren't you going? I heard there are clues to becoming a god there."

Wang Dong excitedly shared the news he had heard from his classmate with his second uncle. He knew that his second uncle was just one step away from becoming a god. What if he got a clue and became a god?

"Becoming a god is not as important as our Dong'er. Let them go find her. I just want to protect your safety, Dong'er."

Erming shook his head in refusal. If he really angered that master, even if he unsealed his power, it would be useless if he were slapped.

"All right."

Although Wang Dong felt a little regretful, he didn't continue the topic.

"I really didn't expect Shrek Academy to be like this. I wonder what my father, whom I've never met, is thinking?"

Wang Dong twirled his light blue hair with his fingers. Although he had gotten used to wearing men's clothing, he still couldn't understand what his biological father was thinking.

"Perhaps it's because Shrek Academy and the Clear Sky Sect have always maintained diplomatic relations, which is why they wanted to send you in to maintain that relationship."

Erming racked his brains and came up with a reasonably appropriate reason.

Huo Yuhao listened in stunned silence, as Wang Dong and his second father did not try to hide their conversation from him.

Because Wang Dong didn't want to lose Huo Yuhao as a friend, he didn't move out of the dormitory as Er Ming had suggested. Helpless, Er Ming could only try his best to provide Wang Dong with a better living environment, and he was just changing Wang Dong's bed.

"It still feels familiar."

Wang Dong rolled around on the silk quilt, then buried his face in it and took a deep breath.

Looking up and seeing Huo Yuhao's teasing gaze, she blushed instantly and started playfully fighting with him.

Erming stood there, feeling somewhat helpless and heartbroken. He was right there; did Dong'er even remember that he was a girl?

That damned Tang San!

In the midst of their playful antics, Huo Yuhao suddenly noticed a faint golden light emanating from Wang Dong's forehead, and a trident-shaped mark appeared on Wang Dong's head.

"Wang Dong, your forehead?"

Huo Yuhao stared in surprise at the mark on the other person's head.

What happened to my forehead?

Wang Dong subconsciously reached out and touched it, but found nothing.

"Dong'er, let me see what's wrong."

Erming stared intently at the trident mark on Wang Dong's forehead. Could it be that Tang San had returned?

Wang Dong sat obediently on his bed while his second uncle examined his body, somewhat curious about what had happened to him.

"Yuhao, is there something on my forehead?"

"A glowing trident mark."

Despite Erming's angry glare, Huo Yuhao still revealed what he had seen.

"I couldn't find anything wrong with my examination. How about we go back to the Haotian Sect and have our elder brother take a look?"

Erming said with a worried look that he had just used his soul power to search and found that there was no spiritual body left by Tang San. The power seemed to have spread quickly throughout his body and then disappeared.

"But I've only just started school..."

Wang Dong fell silent. He felt uneasy about leaving Huo Yuhao right after the start of the semester, but he also felt that he had some health problems and had no choice but to leave.

"It's alright, Wang Dong, your health is the most important thing."

Huo Yuhao noticed the change in Wang Dong's mood and began to persuade him, earning an appreciative look from Erming.

He originally intended to take Dong'er back to the Haotian Sect and let these humans do whatever they want, but now he has a legitimate reason to deliver her to his doorstep. As for whether Wang Dong'er's body will have any hidden dangers, she is that person's biological daughter. He doesn't believe that Tang San would be able to harm his own daughter.

"Alright."

Wang Dong stopped worrying about it. Anyway, if he was alright, he could come back. Life outside was much more interesting than Haotian Sect, and he could make a lot of new friends.

"I'll give you a hug before I go, don't miss me too much."

Wang Dong felt a pang of reluctance, but he was also quite happy to have met Huo Yuhao, a friend who was different from ordinary people.

So, under Erming's murderous glare, Huo Yuhao stiffly and awkwardly gave Wang Dong a hug.

"etc?"

Wang Dong suddenly stood up, placed his hands on Huo Yuhao's shoulders, and looked excited.

Huo Yuhao's expression also turned strange, and he seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

"I suddenly feel my soul power circulating automatically; when I'm near you, our energy merges and we cultivate together!"

Wang Dong was confused about what had happened, and subconsciously thought of the mark that had just appeared on his forehead.

"It seems that's true."

Huo Yuhao was initially excited, but then felt a little regretful. If Wang Dong were still here, he could definitely help him gain power faster, but unfortunately, he had to go home.

Erming's face darkened, a bad thought forming in his mind. He instantly appeared in front of the two, grabbing their hands and placing them together.

When he sensed that the two people's completely different auras could strangely merge together, his initial worry instantly turned into a burning flame of anger in his heart.

"You bastard, you deserve to die!"
