Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

Chapter 145 Cai Yue'er: Inner and Outer Academy Students, Together We Defend Shrek's Honor with Our Lives! A Full-Scale Chaotic Battle Begins

"Go to the sea? What does the Lord of the Planes mean?" Feng Zaixing stopped in his tracks, his brows furrowing.

"He persuaded the life core of Douluo Star to grant you the identity of the Child of Nature, and only the sea will not be monitored or stopped by Tang Hao," Ji Juechen said.

"That's really good news, thank you for letting me know." Feng Zaixing said thoughtfully.

In another timeline, the Life Core Elder Jin gave Tang Wulin 30% of his life energy, which formed his fifth soul ring, Child of Nature. This indirectly led to the Life Tree's energy being insufficient when the Holy Spirit Cult attacked, resulting in its destruction by a god-killing soul-guided cannon.

Jin Lao was thus destroyed, and Ah Yin seized his body and took his place.

The Child of Nature Soul Skill covers a vast area, but Tang Wulin has never used it properly. Either his soul power is insufficient, or the Seed of Life activates it on its own—making it seem somewhat useless.

Another effect is that it makes the ferocious beasts in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes bow down in worship. This is unnecessary for Feng Zai Xing, but the temptation of 30% of the life force is huge.

In the future, when encountering formidable enemies, there is no need to hesitate to "sacrifice" oneself; it is simply a matter of exchanging one's life for another, killing until the evil spirit masters are "terrified".

Moreover, the life force that is dispersed during the formation of the soul ring is of great benefit. Thinking of this, Feng Zaixing opened his eyes and said softly to Yu Xin, "Sister, I have a way to prolong life. In some time, you can inform your ancestor to come over."

He learned from Le Zhengyang that the strongest member of the Yu family was not Yu Guanzhi, but his elder brother Yu Guanjun.

Yu Guanzhi's father is of a higher generation and older, while his eldest son, Yu Guanjun, is about the same age as Chen Xinjie. In his early years, Yu Guanjun had chased down the previous leader of the Holy Spirit Cult and suffered a hidden injury.

Since they are veterans, we should take good care of them and let them contribute their remaining energy to destroy the Holy Spirit Cult together.

Yu Xin snapped out of her daze, a strange look appearing in her dark eyes, and muttered, "He seems to have some issues with you."

"Your opinion?" Feng Zaixing was stunned. What problem did he have? He's already in the ICU.

Yu Xin thought for a moment and then said, "I wanted to get a magical artifact from home as part of my dowry—a personal item. He felt it was a waste, and besides, he had some disagreements with Elder Le in his younger days."

Feng Zaixing blinked: "What do you think?"

"Of course, we should argue based on reason."

Yu Xin said, "He believes that without the realm of gods, even the most talented person cannot become a god. I think you can create miracles. At worst, several generations can work together." He neither agreed nor disagreed.

"I see," Feng Zaixing said, suddenly realizing.

Very good. This is the first time in my life I've encountered someone who doesn't believe in their own talent. But it's not surprising; after all, the younger generation in Dou San is generally weaker, while there are many outrageous individuals among the older generation.

Apart from a few individuals, the older generation of powerful figures all possess their own unique skills, often unleashing god-level combat power. There are countless examples of mechanic-driven and numerically-driven monsters.

According to the standards for becoming a god in the first two eras, they could all pass the divine test; but each subsequent generation was worse than the last, leaving the old man in despair.

As for his incompatibility with Le Zhengyang, Feng Zaixing simply ignored it. The old ancestor was a bandit, and few people could get along with him.

"These old men value lifespan above all else; living longer is a tremendous benefit: I'll pass on your message and make sure he shuts up."

Yu Xin pondered for a moment, then a confident smile appeared on her lips.

Seeing this, Feng Zaixing's expression turned very strange: "Don't you feel any guilt helping me scheme against your elders?"

"Swish"

Yu Xin shifted her gaze, her dark eyes suddenly flashing with sharp light, and a broad smile spread across her beautiful face, shaking the Investiture of the Gods.

"The Investiture of the Gods has the power to seal. If you say another word, I'll take you in and lock you up for a year or two."

"Generally speaking, only outstanding direct descendants of the Yu family who break through the title can receive this kind of treatment."

Feng Zaixing's eyes cleared instantly, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "I appreciate your kindness, but there's no need for that. Let future generations enjoy it."

"Don't make me angry anymore."

Yu Xin glanced at him. This man was usually composed in front of others, but he liked to tease himself every now and then. "Just kidding, just kidding, I get tired too."

Feng Zaixing shook his head. Usually, he was the pillar of the younger generation, protecting everyone behind him. He only relaxed a little in front of Yu Xin.

At the Spirit Tower in Shrek City, Na'er led a curious Xu Xiaoyan out of the tower and thanked Leng Yaozhu.

"Thank you, Aunt Leng. The Illusionary Star Fox you chose for Yan is really beautiful."

Na'er stood tall and graceful, sizing up the teacher chosen by Gu Yue, her smile sweet.

Leng Yaozhu also sized up Na'er and Xu Xiaoyan, a friendly and casual smile on her mature and voluptuous face.

"That's your skill. It's a pity you're the third disciple of the Body Sect, otherwise I would definitely have invited you to join the Spirit Transmission Tower."

Although it wasn't the first time Leng Yaozhu had met Na'er, every time they met, this girl would give Leng Yaozhu a sense of amazement; her talent and appearance were impeccable.

Pity.

She sighed, looked at Xu Xiaoyan who was still a little reserved, and said softly with a smile:

"You haven't joined any factions, have you? If you choose the Spirit Pagoda, we will give you the best support."

Xu Xiaoyan had just broken through to the third ring and was not yet aware of the situation. She thought for a moment before speaking:

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I need to consult my family."

"That's true, but I believe your family won't refuse your joining the Spirit Pagoda. Joining the Spirit Pagoda doesn't mean leaving your family."

Leng Yaozhu gave Xu Xiaoyan a meaningful look. The Star Wheel Ice Staff family is one of the few families in the Tianhai Alliance with an extremely long history. In history, there have been seven "absolutely true" geniuses who all became famous when they grew up.

Going back further, this family has some connection with the former royal family of the Star Luo Empire and the Xu family of the Star Crown Sect, and is a branch of the same lineage.

"Mmm." Xu Xiaoyan nodded, her sky-blue eyes sparkling.

At this moment, Na'er looked at the long line outside the Spirit Transmission Academy and said with a smile, "Aunt Leng, your Spirit Transmission Academy is recruiting students."

"Yes, thanks to the Federation; although it can't compare to you and Shrek, it has still attracted quite a few geniuses."

At this point, Leng Yaozhu relaxed her posture considerably and chuckled:

"We've all put in a lot of effort. Last time you wiped out all the young geniuses on Shrek Academy's list, and now four people on the new list have come to us."

"I won't go up to you guys, let alone your senior brother, but this is a good start."

The Spirit Pagoda's ability to gather information is unparalleled. Ming could contact geniuses in advance, and the Spirit Pagoda could do even better, including those favored by the Phoenix Clan.

"What about Shrek?"

Xu Xiaoyan's eyes flickered, and she said, "Four of my friends applied to Shrek Academy. How many people on the list of child prodigies were there in their year?"

"There are three. You've met one of them, Luo Guixing, who was a defeated opponent you easily dealt with back then. The other two are complete losers."

Leng Yaozhu suddenly frowned and said to the two girls, "Shrek brought Cai Yue'er back a few days ago, and they added some things to the freshman assessment."

Na'er raised an eyebrow: "What did you add?"

Leng Yaozhu said, "In the free-for-all, the freshmen from the outer academy will first fight against the second-year students, and then they will fight against your simulated images."

"The inner court is experiencing a generational gap. The new inner court students cannot fight against their senior classmates and will directly engage in battle with your simulated images."

"us?"

Leng Yaozhu nodded and said, "It's your Nine Stars Society. The spies said that Cai Yue'er is in charge of this assessment. After passing, they will lead them to shout slogans and swear to wash away the shame."

"Ha, all the trash has been piled up!" Na raised an eyebrow and sneered.

Worry appeared in Xu Xiaoyan's eyes.

Wu Lin and the others didn't know Cai'er was there. Could they have been fooled?

.

"Wu Lin, we've passed the final test. According to Teacher Wu, we're now officially Shrek Academy students."

Emerging from the simulated level of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion Skull, Xie Xie's face was filled with the joy of "mission accomplished." Although the process was somewhat bumpy, the result was wonderful.

Wang Jinxi beamed: "My childhood dream was to enter Shrek Academy. The air here is so fresh."

Zhang Yangzi agreed, walking through Shrek's teaching building, feeling as if his horizons had been broadened.

Tang Wulin also had a happy look on his face. Since they hadn't overslept and Gu Yue wasn't around, they were lucky enough not to be made things difficult for each other.

However, luck wouldn't last forever. When the four of them reached the empty stadium and rejoined the main group, they saw a group of students who were clearly older than them standing opposite them.

"What's going on? Didn't Teacher Wu say that we'd enroll after the lecture?"

The four looked at each other, noticing that the other trainees also looked confused.

In the shadows, Wu Changkong frowned and said to Shen Yi, "I still don't agree with the academy's decision. How can they put so much pressure on the freshmen from the outer academy?"

"This is Elder Cai's decision; her word is law. What can we do?"

Shen Yi smiled wryly, "We have to give it a try. What if they're capable?"

"I can say it's impossible right now! I've seen Feng Zaixing make his move many times; the students are like weeds in front of him!" Wu Changkong's tone was resolute.

"Wu Changkong, you're giving them too much credit. How can you boost their morale while diminishing your own?"

With a flash of silver light, Cai Yue'er returned with a triumphant and imposing gait, proclaiming with boundless pride:

"Sister Yue's plan to reorganize the Shrek Academy's supervisory team within the inner courtyard is, in my opinion, completely insufficient! What good are those few people in the inner courtyard? We should bring in the outer courtyard as well!"

"The students of both the inner and outer academies carry the pride and glory of Shrek Academy, fighting with their lives against evil spirit masters to defend the academy's dignity. What a magnificent and beautiful sight that is!"

Wu Changkong paused, wanting to accuse Cai Yue'er of playing with the students' lives, but he couldn't bring himself to speak; Cai Yue'er's soul pressure was too strong.

"snort!"

Cai Yue'er gave Wu Changkong a cold look, already labeling him as a "surrenderist who cannot be trusted."

She took a step forward, appearing in the airspace between the new and old students, raising her arms high and calling out:

"The penultimate stage of the freshman assessment: a chaotic battle against second-year students to prove you can carry on Shrek's glory. Let's begin!"

"There are no rules in this battle. It will last for five minutes. Anyone who doesn't participate in the fight or is defeated during this time will be kicked out of Shrek Academy!"

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were dumbfounded, then looked on in despair. No one had told them that this old woman had come out of the Spirit Pagoda before they came!

Is it too late to regret it now?
