Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

"Dean, Uncle Long, this is a reenactment of what happened ten thousand years ago when Shrek Academy destroyed the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!"

Inside the Spirit Pagoda, Luan Hongchen and Long Tianwu rushed to visit Feng Zaixing, but the first words the young man uttered made them freeze.

Feng Zaixing's face was as cold as frost as he looked at the chaotic world and sighed, "Ten thousand years have passed. If the academy doesn't seize this opportunity now, it will probably never have a chance to turn things around again, won't it?"

Luan Hongchen's face paled, then his body trembled, his hands clenched into fists, and his knuckles cracked.

"I will definitely get an explanation from Shrek Academy for this! I absolutely will!"

Luan Hongchen gritted his teeth, drawing bright red blood from his thick lips, which dripped down in large drops.

After saying that, he strode away without uttering any other words, but everyone could feel an overwhelming chill emanating from this dean.

Long Tianwu said with some worry, "Zaixing, won't this cause too much trouble? What if the situation gets out of control..."

"Mingdu is in ruins. What could be worse than this? Will Yunming attack again?"

Feng Zaixing scoffed and retorted, "Countless heroes have sacrificed themselves only to be met with utter contempt. They say the Shrek people never needed the Federation's protection!"

"Sister Yu and I suffered this fate while protecting the safety of federal citizens and our colleagues. I wonder if Commander Yu and the Temple of War can protect our dignity?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Mengjun burst into tears, and Long Tianwu's hand holding the sword trembled uncontrollably.

Feng Zaixing breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "If the Temple of War doesn't react, I'll just leave. Whether it's the Southern Legion or the Spirit Pagoda, there's always a place for me in this world. At worst, I'll go to the Abyss Battlefield and die a clean death."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ye's eyes turned red, and he let out a beast-like roar:

"Your Excellencies, I, Mu Ye, am incompetent, but if absolutely necessary, I will risk my life to bring some Shrek Academy experts with me!"

Having said that, Mu Ye stirred up the wind and rose again, his body transforming into a red light as he soared into the sky.

Han Tianyi stood up and followed, saying calmly, "I have already informed the Tower Master and the old Tower Master about this matter. Since this happened in the Spirit Transmission Tower, the Spirit Transmission Tower will not turn a blind eye."

"Tianwu, we..." Su Mengjun held Long Tianwu tightly, her beautiful eyes filled with painful reluctance and a resolute light.

"Now that things have come to this, we can no longer care about the old relationship between Vice Hall Master Guan and Shrek Academy. If the Temple of War does not step in, it will no longer be qualified to stand alongside the other three."

Long Tianwu's hand gripping the sword stopped trembling, and a surge of boundless rage flashed in her eyes as she said:

"Tell Hall Master Chen, Vice Hall Master Yu, Commander Yue, Mirror Douluo of the Blood God Legion, and... the Federal Military. If you want to put pressure on Shrek Academy and the Council, then bring in the strongest forces in the military!"

"This time, they've gone too far!"

……

On this day, a shocking video went viral on the Soul Network, and similar messages quickly topped the Soul Network's trending searches, pointing directly at Shrek Academy, the number one holy land in the Soul Master world for 20,000 years.

At the entrance of the Spirit Pagoda, the Holy Angel Feng Zaixing was seriously injured by Shen Yi's punch, Yu Xin in military uniform coughed up blood and was seriously injured, and the silver-haired girl among the disaster victims wept bitterly with a desperate expression, with the sky of Mingdu behind her—such a perfectly composed photo traveled to every corner of the Soul Network.

"Yu Mingdu, the orphan of a Federation lieutenant general and a major in the Central Army Corps, fought valiantly to protect the safety of the people. He was brutally attacked by terrorists and his life was hanging by a thread. Who made the Federation's hero bleed in life and weep in death?"

This headline, which sends chills down your spine at first glance, tops the list on SoulNet, with its bloody words.

Under the headlines, every trending topic is extremely eye-catching.

"Down with Shrek Terrorism," "Bloody Mingdu," "The Nation is on the Verge of Collapse, the Enemy is in Shrek," "Overwhelming the Weak with Superiority and Bullying the Small? Unveiling the Ugly Truth Behind Shrek's 20,000-Year Reign as Number One"...

Each title is a powerful piece of writing, full of emotion and fluent in style, written by leading figures in the journalism field.

As evening fell and public opinion reached its breaking point, many figures who had previously only existed in legends began to appear on the Soul Network and make public statements.

"The four victims of the terrorist attack are all the most outstanding students of our academy. They are the pride of the academy and the heroes of Mingdu. Their talent and sense of responsibility far surpass those of the fame-seeking geniuses of Shrek Academy. Our academy will spare no effort to protect their lives and dignity."

—Luan Hongchen, the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, publicly swore that he would resign if no explanation was given.

"This is appalling! This should never have happened in Mingdu! This is a disaster for Mingdu, a disaster for the Federation!"

—Kong Yao, the chief scientific researcher of the Federation and the head of Mingde Hall, was deeply saddened and called on all parties to give it the utmost attention.

"The Central Legion is determined to defend the dignity of the families of martyrs and soldiers, to protect Mingdu and the Federation, and to punish all terrorists."

—Telegram from Yu Guanzhi, Commander of the Central Army Corps and Deputy Minister of the Army Department.

"The final bloodshed occurred at the entrance of the Spirit Pagoda. On behalf of the Spirit Pagoda Council, I assure the public that the Spirit Pagoda has an inescapable responsibility to uphold justice, eradicate evil, and safeguard peace on the continent."

—The master of the Spirit Pagoda, Dongfeng Electricity for all time.

"The orphans of the Angel Family shall not be slighted. The Southern Legion will always be a strong backing for the safety of the Federation's military and civilians." — Telegram from Le Zheng'en, Commander of the Southern Legion.

"This is a matter of great importance. On behalf of the Temple of War, I apologize to the people. The Temple of War will certainly provide an explanation." — Telegram from Chen Xinjie, Master of the Temple of War.

"The Federation will not allow any terrorists to defy the world and run rampant in Mingdu." — Federal Military Telegram.

The four major leaders spoke out one after another, sweeping through the entire federal military. The eight legions also expressed their opinions under the storm of public opinion, and surprisingly, they were not divided into doves, hawks, or neutrals, but had an unprecedentedly consistent attitude.

Shrek is under attack from all sides!

That night, as the Federal Speaker sorted through the overwhelming amount of information, he looked at the large number of citizens marching with banners in the alleys of Mingdu City and slumped into his chair.

For a moment, the speaker doubted whether his eyes and ears were playing tricks on him.

The loudest slogan chanted by the marchers was, "The Sun and Moon Federation punishes the Shrek terrorist organization! Down with Shrek terrorism!"

Judging from the excited state of the crowd, the Federal Speaker was quite certain that this was not a paid troll; the Federal capital, which had suffered repeated calamities at the hands of the Shrekians, was showing signs of becoming irreconcilably opposed to Shrek.

Furthermore, this momentum is erupting in many parts of the Federation, with demonstrations taking place in cities ranging from Shrek City to Mindo.

The scale and momentum of the event were unprecedented in the history of the Federation, and it was impossible to suppress it.

"Shrek, Shrek, you've really taught your students well. You've managed to get the five major military families, the Spirit Pagoda, and the Temple of War to all express their opinions at the same time, and even the Blood God Legion is putting pressure on the council..."

The speaker gritted his teeth and began to think about how to deal with the boiling parliament and how to negotiate with Shrek City.

The military and the Spirit Pagoda formed an unprecedented united front, and the morale of the people and the army was boiling. Even when Yun Ming stormed Mingdu back then, the impact was far less than this.

……

The Southern Army Corps, led by Le Zheng'en, rushed excitedly to the secret chamber where his father was in seclusion, looking as excited as a child.

"Father, great news! Incredibly good news!"

"What's all the commotion about? What good news has made you so excited?"

The door to the secret room slowly opened, and Le Zhengyang, his hair disheveled, walked out, frowning as he said:

"I taught you long ago that a person should have composure. How can you be so unsteady at your age?"

"It's not that your son is irresponsible, but this matter is of utmost importance, Father."

With a thought, Le Zheng'en used his spiritual power to display everything at the entrance of the Spirit Pagoda.

Le Zhengyang watched quietly, initially frowning, but his pupils quickly contracted, and finally his emotions surged, deep anger welling up in his old eyes as he cursed:

"Those damn Shrek Academy bullies the weak, do they think my Angel Family has no one to rely on?! Even Yun Ming would have to be wary of me to my face, it's just a matter of mutual destruction!"

Having said that, he looked directly at Le Zheng'en and asked, "Which branch of our clan does this person belong to? I've never seen him before."

Le Zheng'en smiled and was about to begin his explanation when he saw his father's eyebrows furrow. He quickly organized his thoughts and cut to the chase:

"He's the Feng Zaixing from the Body Sect that my son told you about a year ago..."

"OK!"

Le Zhengyang's old eyes gleamed. He stepped forward and grabbed his son's collar: "How is he now?"

"It should be alright, Father. Do you think I should go there immediately?"

Le Zheng'en confidently stated, "I have already publicly stated that it doesn't matter if we fall out with Shrek Academy this time."

"Make a statement? All five major families have made statements, and the Yu family girl has such a good relationship with him. You think you can get him to come back and acknowledge his family with just a word? Do you think you can beat Yu Guanzhi?"

Le Zhengyang raised an eyebrow, clearly disagreeing with Le Zheng'en's idea.

"So you mean...?"

"It would be good to bring a small gift," Yue Zhengyang said, pacing back and forth inside and outside the secret room with his hands behind his back.

"I recall that the strongest member of the Phoenix Ma family was a level 97 Super Douluo?"

Le Zheng'en nodded. "Yes, what's wrong?"

Le Zhengyang grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth:

"Having made a deep-seated enemy, we should eliminate him completely. I will go and borrow the heads of his entire clan."

Le Zheng'en gasped, and then saw his father vanish in a flash, leaving only an excited voice echoing in the air.

"I'm dying soon, so I'll do as I please one last time; from now on, I'm no longer a member of the Yue family."
