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

It is said that he is a potential contender for the next speakership.

"Hello, Secretary-General Pan," Cai Yue'er greeted him casually. Shrek Academy had never had a particularly close relationship with the Federation.

Pan Wen smiled and said, "Elder Cai, it's like this. To facilitate exchanges between the two sides, we've arranged for your academy to be on the Star Luo ocean liner on the Star Luo Continent. Also boarding with you are members of the Star Luo Royal Academy from the Star Luo Empire on the Star Luo Continent. They've visited the mainland before for exchanges, and they also hope to exchange ideas and learn from you during this long voyage to the Star Luo Continent."

"Oh. That's the college that wanted to come to our college for an exchange program, but we turned them down!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding air became somewhat quiet.

Pan Wen, true to his politician nature, quickly grasped the situation, laughed heartily, and said, "Yes! Your esteemed academy's timing just didn't work out this time, so it's perfect that we can exchange ideas on the ship."

"Hmm." Fortunately, Cai Yue'er didn't say anything more, she just nodded.

Pan Wendao said, "Alright, Elder Cai, this way please. I'll take you and the other top students from Shrek Academy over there."

The Federal Secretary-General personally led the way; that's already a great honor.

To be honest, Pan Wen felt quite helpless. He knew all too well Shrek Academy's status on the continent. The academy had always been a major headache for the Federation. Successive Federation leaders had most hoped to achieve two things: control of Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda. Of course, that was just wishful thinking.

These two places hold a pivotal position on the continent, and more importantly, they both concentrate the continent's strongest military forces.

The Spirit Pagoda is somewhat easier to deal with; cooperation can proceed relatively smoothly under certain incentives. But Shrek Academy is like the hardest reef in the ocean, unmoved by wind and rain.

However, Shrek Academy possessed some of the continent's strongest individuals, so the Federation could only turn a blind eye. Of course, this was also related to Shrek Academy's lack of ambition. The academy had never expressed any intention to expand, and its students, like soldiers coming and going in a fixed camp, showed no intention of accumulating power. This is why the Federation reluctantly recognized their relative autonomy.

Under Pan Wen's personal guidance, the Shrek Academy group filed onto the ship.

There are special escalators for boarding, propelled by Soul Guidance Technology. The journey is smooth but somewhat lengthy.

"Those must be students from Star Luo Royal Academy, right?" Xie Xie whispered.

Not far ahead, a group of neatly dressed people were boarding a ship.

They were all dressed in white school uniforms, and their average age was around seventeen or eighteen. When they saw the Shrek Academy students in their green uniforms, they pointed and whispered among themselves.

Le Zhengyu fiddled with his long, slender fingers. "I don't care where they're from, if they dare to cause trouble, I'll deal with them."

Xie Xie glanced at him. "I don't believe it. If you're so capable, go and do it yourself. I don't believe you can beat them."

"Are you trying to cause trouble?" Yuan Enyehui glared at Xie Xie.

Le Zhengyu immediately became smug. "See? Our class monitor is still on my side. Don't blame the class monitor for being ruthless if you cause trouble!"

Yuan Enhui glanced at him. "He's right. You don't look like a good person at all."

"Well……"

Once aboard the giant ship, looking back at the shore, everything seemed so small.

Staff members were already approaching. These weren't staff from the Douluo Continent side, but rather from the Star Luo Continent.

The next step, naturally, was to arrange accommodations. The ship's capacity was large enough that there wouldn't be any problem for everyone to board it.

However, to make it more spacious, it was divided into two sides.

Soon, everyone received their cabin keys; there was plenty of space, and everyone had a single room. Cai Yue'er left on her own. Her room was, of course, different from the others, on the top deck of the giant ship. Pan Wen personally led the way.

"Shrek Academy's uniforms are really ugly. How can you guys stand them?!" Just then, a somewhat sarcastic voice rang out.

The Shrek students turned around and saw that the students from Star Luo Royal Academy, who were wearing white school uniforms, whom they had seen earlier, had come up.

There were twelve people in total, all looking about the same age, eight men and four women, all gathered together.

The speaker was a short boy, not very tall, but he looked very sturdy.

Le Zhengyu suddenly shook his head, as if searching for something, and muttered, "Who's talking? Who's talking?"

Although that student from Xingluo Royal Academy was short, he wasn't so short that he was completely invisible! Le Zhengyu's words immediately provoked public outrage.

"Hey kid, what did you say?" The short student was the first to object, and he rushed in front of Le Zhengyu and rammed his chest into him.

Le Zhengyu neither dodged nor avoided.

"Bang—" Their chests collided; the shorter youth had jumped up and crashed into them. Le Zhengyu stood there motionless, while the shorter youth felt as if he had hit a metal plate, his body falling back two steps.

The difference in skill is immediately apparent. The gap in strength is obvious.

"Is this how you people from the Star Luo Continent show affection? How strange! Do you girls do this too?" Xie Xie said, glancing curiously at the four female students from the Star Luo Royal Academy.

you!

The four female students opposite immediately changed their expressions.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing and give me some face." Gu You stepped forward. He wanted to resolve the dispute quickly so that he could catch some sea spirit beasts once the cruise ship reached the deep sea.

"How much is your pride worth?" the short student asked, his expression still unfriendly.

"Oh? How much is it worth?" Gu You's pupils turned into vertical pupils, and an overwhelming pressure forced the short student to kneel down.

"That's my face." Gu You strode away.

The cabins arranged by the Star Luo Continent were quite nice, a good 40 square meters in size, with their own bathrooms and showers. Each cabin also had a balcony with views of the outside world and a sea breeze. Quite comfortable.

At noon, accompanied by three blasts of the ship's horn, two ocean-going vessels slowly sailed out of the dock and gradually accelerated toward the deep sea.

The giant ship is like a monster in the sea, riding the wind and waves, moving forward steadily.

Standing on the balcony, I couldn't even feel the slightest sway. The sea breeze was blowing, and the bright sunshine was shining all over my body. It felt incredibly comfortable.

The sea was vast and magnificent; soon, only a black line remained of land, surrounded by nothing but waves...
