Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 108 Reunion with Everyone

Deep inside the building, past a domed area, and up stone steps, we carefully and nimbly passed through the arched windows on both sides. Looking out from these windows, we saw vast green spaces, undulating and elegantly planted with various vegetation. It was impossible to judge the true size of this main teaching building. The circular building in front was clearly only a part of it. Judging from its overall luxury, it probably surpassed even the former imperial palace.

Shrek Inner City possesses the right to collect taxes in Shrek City, and its accumulated wealth is enormous.

Otherwise, no matter how renowned and powerful an academy is, it will be unable to continuously cultivate numerous "monsters" without sufficient funding and resources.

……

After Tang Wulin and his group passed through two corridors, Shen Yi led them to a circular hall. The hall was very spacious, with a height of about twenty meters. On the spacious and tall walls, there were still murals.

When Xie Xie looked up, his body trembled involuntarily. There was only one creature in the mural, a huge black dragon with golden eyes, outstretched wings, and a dark aura emanating from its body. Although it was just a mural, it was painted with remarkable realism. The scales on the black dragon's body were clearly visible, which was the source of the immense pressure.

Everyone else was in the same state as Xie Xie, their faces turning pale. Tang Wulin reacted the least, while Gu Yue's reaction was better. She trembled a few times, her eyes flashing with shock, before gradually returning to normal.

Shen Yi had disappeared at some point, and Teacher Wu Changkong was also not there. Only four people remained in the round hall.

The pressure emanating from the Black Dragon mural continued to increase, like ocean waves.

The four men's chests heaved violently. A golden light flashed in the corner of Tang Wulin's eye, which reduced the pressure considerably, but it was still not a long-term solution.

break!

In this situation, a voice interrupted everything, and a powerful surge of energy formed an invisible shield that enveloped all four of them.

"Eh." A humming sound rang out, and Shen Yi walked out from beside a stone pillar, accompanied by an old man.

"It's you!" Shen Yi exclaimed in surprise when he saw who it was.

"Ancient travel?" Xu Xiaoyan covered her lips with both hands, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Gu You stretched his neck and said, "I want to take this exam too, including... Teacher Shen Yi, didn't you say before that I got in through connections? Today, I must prove myself innocent and get into Shrek Academy. Make it a little harder for me!"

Shen Yi felt a little awkward. She looked at the old man beside her and said, "Old Li, look."

Old Li glanced at Gu You solemnly and nodded slightly. People of the older generation like them rarely read the news, so they naturally didn't know about Gu You's exploits. "Not bad, he has the potential to become a little monster. This is the first time I've seen someone with the aura to withstand the pressure of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King."

Shen Yi sighed softly. If Gu You was a little monster, then all the inner members of Shrek Academy could be called trash among trash.

The mural above was painted by a titled Douluo from Shrek Academy who was skilled in painting. The reason it generated such a strong pressure was that when she was painting, she added a drop of blood from the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, who was once the most powerful being in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The blood of this Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King was left behind during its battle with a powerful member of Shrek Academy, and it has been collected.

For students taking the entrance exam, this is a test of their mental and physical strength.

The longer one persists, the stronger one's mental strength becomes. Conversely, those with weak mental strength can persist for a longer period of time. This indicates that the blood being tested is not ordinary blood; it can nourish the body and resist the blood aura of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King. Such individuals need to be cultivated, as their future achievements will be considerable.

These weren't the things Shen Yi found most about Gu You's abnormality. After all, although few people could withstand it, some people were able to endure it. What shocked her the most about Gu You was that he could enter the assessment site silently without even being detected by Elder Li. Shen Yi couldn't imagine how much stealth ability and mental strength he must possess.

This guy has gotten much stronger. Shen Yi naturally didn't know that Gu You had gone to the far north to challenge her. Her memory was still stuck in the Tianhai Grand Competition when Gu You withdrew from the competition.

"Mr. Li, what about their ratings...?"

Old Li glanced at the four students in Class Zero, "Luck is also a part of ability, so let's give each of them eight points!"

He didn't see anything special about Tang Wulin.

"Thank you, Mr. Li." Shen Yi's face lit up with joy.

Without her even giving the order, Tang Wulin and the other three had already bowed and paid their respects to the old man.

The old man smiled slightly, "I'm just giving that old fellow Zhuoshi some face, after all, you guys are late." After saying that, he turned and walked to the side. Before leaving, he didn't forget to turn back and give Gu You a deep look, nodding to himself, seemingly lost in thought.

"Brother Gu... what have you been doing for the past three years?" Xie Xie leaned closer, his eyes filled with longing for Gu You.

"Well... it's a long story," Gu You replied with a smile. The height of everyone around him had begun to rival his, all reaching the 1.7-meter mark. Tang Wulin, who used to be a head shorter than Gu You, was now almost the same height. In the past few years, Gu You hadn't changed much, at least not in terms of height, which remained around 1.7 meters. However, the aura he exuded had undergone a huge change, and his face was more mature. He no longer looked as incongruous as he did when he was nine years old and nearly 1.7 meters tall.

"You always act so mysterious." Xie Xie shook his head. There was nothing Gu You wanted to say, and there was no way to get it out of him.

"have not seen you for a long time."

Gu You looked at Gu Yue and said, "Yes, it's been a long time." Compared to three years ago, she had grown up. She had short hair, which looked neat and tidy. She was tall and slender, and her height was over 1.7 meters, which was even taller than Gu You.

Gu You was a little curious about what these four had eaten to grow up in three years. Xu Xiaoyan was alright, after all, she was a loli. Although girls naturally develop faster than boys, Gu Yue's growth rate was still outrageous. Her slender figure was almost perfect. Although she still looked a bit immature, she was full of youthful vitality.

"You've grown so much! I said I owed you three years ago, so I'll give you a gift when we meet again." A white light suddenly flashed in Gu You's hand, and a necklace appeared in his left palm. A gray gemstone was inlaid in the center of the necklace, and if you looked closely, you could see that the surrounding soul energy was being absorbed by it.

The material used to make this chain was the small black hole that Gu You had sealed away before. That thing couldn't store anything at all, let alone the infinite storage locker he had envisioned. An item that Gu You had put in there a year ago...
