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

Chapter 193 Things have come to this point, there is no other way.

The highway is flanked by woods and fields.

When the car crashed through the median and fell below, everyone felt a sharp pain in their buttocks, but they couldn't worry about that now. They could only run into the woods. In a situation like this, as long as you were well hidden in the woods, you could basically get through the crisis safely.

On the other side, several soul-guided mechs noticed their sudden change of direction. They took to the air, and their soul-guided cannons aimed at Gu You, rapidly approaching.

However, these mechs belong to the Spirit Pagoda, not the Federation. The Spirit Pagoda mechs would never dare to kill people easily, as the Federation's order cannot be disrupted.

When they had flown halfway through their journey, the mechs in the air retracted their soul-guided cannons, but their speed remained unchanged as they flew towards the group.

"You all need to leave quickly."

Gu You knew that someone had to cover the rear, and that person had to be him.

He actually didn't want to take action, since it was in a public place like a highway. If he did, it would probably make the news, and he would become famous again.

But since things have come to this, there's no other way.

Let's go then...

A dazzling purple light flashed behind the Shrek Seven Devils, but no one turned around to look. All they could do now was not waste this opportunity and try their best to escape, which would be the greatest reward for Gu You.

……

Gu You clapped his hands twice to clear the dust, revealing a dozen or so wrecked mechs beneath his feet.

He tied more than a dozen people to a tree nearby with a rope.

Their mouths were stuffed with rags, preventing them from speaking. But it wasn't hard to see the terror in their eyes.

"Don't be afraid, I won't harm you. Just wait for your own people to come and rescue you." Gu You's face was surrounded by the divine light of destruction, making it impossible to discern his appearance.

After saying that, Gu You ran away.

The next few cities we'll be visiting are all large cities with some Soul Master academies, where there should be Soul Saint-level experts.

It wasn't until they had run nearly 200 kilometers that they caught up with the others.

Two hundred kilometers is nothing to someone as physically strong as Gu You.

They chatted for a while.

"Spirit Pagoda!" Xu Lizhi swung his fist fiercely.

"What do you want?" Gu Yue asked quietly.

Xu Lizhi glanced at her, "I will never sell steamed buns to them again!"

Ye Xinglan said irritably, "Look at your pathetic self."

They found a small hotel to stay in. Since everyone there was a Soul Master, they recovered quickly. Gu You also took the opportunity to inquire about the location of the Soul Master Academy.

The city they were in at the moment was called Tianding City, which was about two thousand kilometers away from Mingdu, and they would pass through several other cities along the way.

As expected, Tianding City has a Soul Master Academy, and it's quite famous, called Tianding Starry Sky Academy.

This is a special Soul Master Academy that only admits Soul Masters with flying Martial Souls. It also has an Advanced Academy that trains high-level Soul Masters, Mech Pilots, and Battle Armor Masters.

Regarding the training of Battle Armor Masters, everyone generally agreed that it wasn't necessary to take it so seriously. The average graduation age for students from higher academies is between twenty-two and twenty-five. Even at Shrek Academy, very few students can complete a One-Word Battle Armor within this age range, let alone students from other academies.

The Heavenly Starry Sky Soul Master Academy has cultivated many talents and has a close cooperative relationship with the military. In the early days, when the military recruited Soul Masters, they preferred those with the ability to fly.

Although Soul Masters can fly with the help of Soul Guidance Devices, they are already capable of flying, making them far superior to ordinary Soul Masters in aerial combat.

Even if one's martial soul isn't very strong, combat power can be enhanced through soul tools. Back then, the advent of soul tools greatly narrowed the gap between ordinary soul masters and genius soul masters. With the emergence of mechs, for a long time, the strength of a soul master alone couldn't determine the outcome of a battle. It wasn't until the later appearance of battle armor that powerful soul masters regained their advantage.

The Celestial Starry Sky Soul Master Academy is an academy primarily focused on training Soul Masters, especially Flying Soul Masters. Therefore, their mecha pilots are highly renowned throughout the Federation and are scarce talents in various military regions. With the support of the military, the Celestial Starry Sky Soul Master Academy has developed very rapidly. Besides those long-established top-tier academies, they are also considered among the best in the second-tier academies.

An ordinary soul-guided car stopped in an alley not far from the Heavenly Starry Sky Soul Master Academy.

After getting off the bus, the one in the lead was Gu You, wearing a green Shrek school uniform. However, this wasn't the official uniform; it was bought from a clothing store, which just happened to represent Shrek Academy.

The main gate of the Heavenly Starry Sky Soul Master Academy is incredibly cool. Made of metal, it stands over twenty meters tall and forty meters wide, allowing even mechs to pass through it with ease.

The walls of the compound were high, and judging by the area it occupied, it was quite large. A large area in the southwest of Tianding City belonged to them.

"Use your methods," Gu You said calmly.

Xie Xie's lips twitched slightly as he took out something—a banner supported by two long bamboo poles.

The banner, unfurled, was a full ten meters wide, white with a dozen or so large green characters. The calligraphy was rather poor, but at least legible. He and Xu Lizhi, one on each side, unfurled the banner and planted bamboo poles in the ground.

The area in front of the Tianding Starry Sky Soul Master Academy was bustling with traffic, and their banner immediately attracted the attention of many passersby.

A passerby instinctively read, "We are from Shrek Academy, challenging your academy's strongest team under twenty."

Is this...is someone coming to cause trouble?

There were guards at the entrance of the Heavenly Starry Sky Soul Master Academy. It was already noon, and the guards had probably gone to the cafeteria for lunch. Many people saw this scene and instinctively stopped to watch. Some were surprised, some frowned, some were angry, and some were curious. Soon, the area in front of the academy gate was crowded with people.

Shrek Academy? What attracted them most was undoubtedly the name Shrek.

For any student, these three words represent something extraordinary—they're legendary! Shrek Academy students actually came to our academy to challenge us? What's going on?

Challenging the strongest team under 20? Judging by their age, they're probably only around 15 at most.

"You've really come to Shrek Academy?" a young man asked as he stepped forward.

"That's right, from Shrek," Gu You replied.

"How can you prove it?"

A flash of purple-gold light appeared in Gu You's eyes, and rings of blood and spirit rose from beneath his feet, drawing gasps of surprise from those around him.

What's with these purple-gold and purple-blue spirit rings? Even the most powerful spirits have orange spirit rings, right? These spirit rings are really...
