Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

Chapter 120 The Wind Rises Again: I don't think Douluo Star should be like this, the Child of Nature? (Bonus Chapter 2k7)

According to the Federal Central Station, a million people in Mingdu cheered and jubilant as they destroyed the anti-Federal group, which included fifteen members of parliament led by Mingdu Deputy Governor and Federal MP Shen Changyan.

This group has been colluding with the Xingluo and Douling continents for many years, advocating the sale of the Federation's advanced soul guidance technology, transferring benefits and seeking personal gain. During their tenure, they committed major financial corruption, for which the evidence is conclusive and they are utterly heinous.

Thanks to the combined efforts of the Federal War God Temple, the faculty and students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and the people of Mingdu, the group was brought to justice.

At midday, the soul-guided light screens in the seventeen first-tier cities of the Sun and Moon Federation broadcasted scenes from Mingdu: crowds bombarding Capitol Hill, and Feng Zaixing dragging Shen Changyan down the high steps.

"Shen Changyan is hereby dismissed from all public office, sentenced to life imprisonment, deprived of all personal property, and deprived of political rights for life."

Fourteen members of parliament, including Tang Chun and Fran Yun, confessed to their crimes and were sentenced to death with confiscation of all personal property. The sentence is to be carried out immediately.

The scene shifts to the courtroom, where a half-dead Shen Changyan is escorted to prison, and twelve councilors are taken to the execution ground to be shot. Then, scenes of them surrounding the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy appear, along with a large number of corrupt documents and statements supporting Xingluo and Douling appearing.

As the series of images ended, Xu Pojun, the Minister of the Federal Armed Forces and the Purple Emperor Douluo, appeared on camera, gave an overview speech to the host, and announced the military's verdict.

"The officers of the Mingduwei Cheng troops, including Major General Shen Gu and Senior Colonel Shen Yang, were misled by the anti-Federal group and clashed with the Federation masses. The following actions are now taken against Shen Gu and others."

In the scene, all officers of the Shen family's Mingdu Guard unit on Capitol Hill were transferred out of Mingdu and demoted across the board, with major generals being demoted to lieutenant colonels, senior colonels to majors, and no lower limit.

With that, the earth-shattering emergency news broadcast ended; this was yet another bombshell.

The successive major events that have occurred in the Federation's first and second largest cities will undoubtedly affect the nerves of all the major powers on Douluo Star.

"Junior brother, we really pulled off something big today! It was exhilarating, absolutely exhilarating!"

In the bathtub brimming with life, Aruheng laughed heartily. First attacking Shrek Academy, then Zhenming, both opposing factions—the Body Sect hadn't been this glorious in many years.

Feng Zaixing's long hair was spread out on the water's surface. His breathing was extremely faint as he circulated his qi and blood to restore his energy. His eyes were clear as he said:

"Today was satisfying, but senior brother, you need to be careful in the future. This is only Shrek Academy's first counterattack. Although we retaliated swiftly, they will not give up easily."

"After this battle, Mingdu is safe, but it's hard to say what will happen outside of Mingdu."

Aruheng laughed and said, "With so many seniors supporting us, those bastards can only make some small moves outside Mingdu."

Upon hearing this, Feng Zaixing shook his head, revealing a very serious expression, and said, "Removing the Third Master of the Shen family today was a matter of taking advantage of the situation. It will be difficult to have such an opportunity next time. If you suffer in silence outside, I may not be able to get revenge for you like I did today. You will have to endure it for a few years before settling accounts."

"Even if I suffer a loss outside, and I have absolute evidence, it's difficult to make such a big fuss again."

Aruheng was puzzled and said, "Junior brother, are you saying that those seniors will no longer—"

"Everything today was done in accordance with the trend. What is my cultivation level? It's mainly because the Shen family brought this upon themselves."

Feng Zaixing sighed, pointed outside, and said in a deep voice, "The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has been eyeing the title of the number one academy on the continent for over ten thousand years. It finally managed to snatch it, and it's at the height of its power."

"The Hongchen family and the Kong family have waited for ten thousand years. The Dean and Elder Kong are eager to hold the ancestral worship ceremony, but the Shen family is trying to undermine them. This is absolutely intolerable."

"Uncle Long owes me a great debt of gratitude, yet he's causing trouble for me; besides him, the only other powerful figures storming Capitol Hill are the Dean and Elder Kong, because they are the most furious and hate the Shen family the most!"

"I just acted as a tool, giving them a reason to cover things up, explaining it all as the impetuousness of young people, and they got angry too."

"tear-"

Aruheng gasped, "So you're in real danger right now? Aren't you just being used as a pawn?"

"If your cultivation isn't high enough, you're destined to be a pawn. Which powerful figure didn't start as a pawn and then become a player?"

Feng Zaixing smiled nonchalantly and explained, "The Le family has a special status and it is not appropriate for them to appear, so only the patriarch took action. The reason is the same: to protect the younger generation."

"They helped me because they value my martial soul and hope that I can break through to the god level, so that the Angel Family can advance further. They are the most reliable allies of our sect."

"Commander Yu values ​​and mentors me because of my relationship with Teacher Zhenhua, my parents, and Sister Yu, and he also wants to suppress Shrek Academy, so our alliance is relatively strong."

"What happened today is not a conflict between members of parliament, but a struggle between interest groups; the Shen family wants to destroy our influence in suppressing Shrek, and we must give a stronger counterattack; going through the motions and stalling will not get us anywhere. Shrek killed the entire families of sixteen members of parliament, so they agree with my coup."

"But Commander Yu didn't want to be a wolf in sheep's clothing, so he stopped Wei Chengjun from entering the area to prevent the conflict from escalating."

"Not to mention Uncle Han Tai, the Spirit Pagoda dreams of overpowering Shrek Academy. He fully supports me, otherwise Gu Yue and Na'er would never have been able to bring in the Spirit Pagoda guards."

After explaining the interests of all parties, Feng Zaixing smiled faintly and said:

"In short, I am the heir to this faction, the sharpest knife. What I want to do is what they want to do, and it is in their interest, so I can accomplish it. Otherwise, I would have a hard time killing those few congressmen."

"If we hadn't defeated Shrek, not so many people in Mingdu would have been willing to storm Capitol Hill with us."

He lamented, "When fortune smiles, heaven and earth lend their strength; when fortune turns, even heroes are powerless. We are all insignificant people, yet we can shake the world because great figures want us to shake the world."

Aruheng listened in stunned silence for a moment, then suddenly her eyes widened in shock, and she exclaimed, "Mingdu isn't just about the two of us. Other forces didn't participate, nor did they help the Shen family afterward. Their stance—"

"They'll help whoever wins."

Feng Zaixing said with a deep gaze, "The benefits of my storming Capitol Hill are something the hawks can't refuse, something the Secretary of the Army wants to do but doesn't dare to do."

"Having done him such a great favor, of course he has to return the favor by expelling the Shen family from Mingdu, even though he and the Shen family are related by marriage!"

"He won't let go of the opportunity to suppress the doves; Chen Xinjie would applaud it if he knew; how could I act recklessly if I didn't understand their intentions?"

What he didn't tell Aruheng was that before he stormed Capitol Hill, he had Luan Hongchen inform the major doves other than Shen Changyan; in this turmoil, the doves were not the losers, and they would provide assistance to help the doves fill the vacancies left by the Shen family in the military and political circles.

From beginning to end, the only unlucky one was the Ironclad Shrek Faction, who was served up by Wind Rebirth and then crushed by a group of people.

"Junior brother, you're ruthless—"

Aruheng stared in disbelief, mouth agape. How could the Body Sect, which was known for producing honest people, have produced such an oddball as his junior brother?

"Don't overthink it. Senior brother, your cultivation is high. Try opening up your eight extraordinary meridians. Once you break through to Soul Douluo and forge your three-word battle armor, even a Super Douluo won't be able to do anything to you."

Feng Zaixing laughed and said, "Strategic maneuvering is a minor matter; cultivation is the foundation."

"Junior brother—." Aruheng pursed his lips, hesitating to speak.

"What's wrong?"

"Those big shots all have their own purposes. What about you? What are you pursuing?" Aruheng stared straight at Feng Zaixing.

"Me—" Feng Zaixing thought for a moment and replied, "I feel that Douluo Star shouldn't be like this; there are too many damned things."

"I don't want to let down those who came up Capitol Hill with me, so I want to kill until all the evil spirits in this world are wiped out, and use their blood and flesh to irrigate a better land; the assets of those members of Congress today will soon be transformed into all kinds of welfare facilities to give back to the people."

Since it is a federal government, we should follow the example of President Luo. When he becomes invincible and quells foreign threats, it will be time to expose his capital. After all, everyone has original sin, so killing a few of them will not be a psychological burden.

He had already decided on the four-character name for his battle armor: "Let the heavens be my guide."

Aruheng swallowed hard and didn't ask any more questions.

Meanwhile, in Shrek City, at the Sea God's Pavilion.

A gloomy atmosphere hung over many people. Yun Ming placed his hands, crossed, on the table for a long time before finally speaking softly:

"There's no need to elaborate on what happened in Mingdu; both the doves and the Shen family suffered heavy losses. If we leave that aside, what about the inner court?"

The Shen family has suffered a complete blow, and it is impossible to expect them to pose a threat to Feng Zaixing in Mingdu. Yun Ming does not indulge in wishful thinking. The most urgent task is to fill the inner courtyard.

Seeing everyone looking down, he said in a low voice, "I have an idea: to search for geniuses across the entire continent and two other continents, and then cultivate them with a large amount of resources. What do you think?"

The elders immediately raised their heads and offered their opinions. Within the hazy space of the Ancient Tree of Life, an old man with crimson gold skin listened quietly, then suddenly looked towards a certain void and said slowly:

"Is that little brat who stormed Shrek Academy today the one you've got your eye on? His bloodthirstiness is no less than Harossa's."

"Not bad," the spirit of the plane responded from afar.

"I hope you can take a gamble with me and give him the status of the Child of Nature. It's the only thing I can do."
