Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

Chapter 128 Hello, my name is Otto Apocalypse

"Otto Apocalypse".

Fan Yu read out the name on the badge.

Generally, this kind of badge is also a small soul tool. If you input soul power into it, it can display the holder's information, which can be considered a kind of identity certificate.

"His ancestors came from the Heavenly Soul Empire, and later moved to the Sun Moon Empire. He is a Level 7 Soul Master directly under the Mingde Hall. He is responsible for the experiments and research of many important Soul Guidance Devices. As for his age, he is twenty-six years old."

"A 26-year-old level 7 Soul Master!"

This completely shocked Fan Yu, who was already over forty years old and only an eighth-level Soul Master. Even in the Sun Moon Empire, Fan Yu believed that such a twenty-six-year-old genius scholar was not someone one could easily encounter.

As long as the Soul Master's talent isn't too problematic, they can become a Level 9 Soul Master and Title Douluo simply by using medicine.

This made Fan Yu even more puzzled.

"Could it be that he offended the Master of Mingde Hall and fled here to seek the protection of Shrek Academy?"

"Otherwise, no matter how you explain it, it won't make sense."

"Your resume is indeed impressive. A level seven Soul Master at the age of twenty-six. Even in the Sun Moon Empire, which is known as the cradle of Soul Masters, I believe that with your abilities you can thrive. But why—"

Fan Yu paused for a moment when she asked this question.

Shrek Academy has indeed been eager to recruit talented Soul Masters in recent years, but it hasn't reached the point where anyone can enter regardless of their status or position.

Therefore, Fan Yu must ask about the key points involved.

"Actually, it's because my personal beliefs clashed with some people's, which led to me not being well-liked at Mingdetang."

"The main reason is that I do not want to apply the soul guides I have researched to the war in large quantities, which makes some radical warmongers very dissatisfied."

"Of course, what angers me the most is that every time I submit my new research findings, I soon see their application in the Sun Moon Empire's army."

"So I was disheartened and wanted to try a change of environment."

Fan Yu sighed; it was pretty much as he had guessed.

"But young man, you've simply jumped from one fire pit into another."

No one knew better than him what Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department was meant to serve: to create soul tools that could benefit ordinary people.

Fan Yu personally stated, "Wake up, kid."

"Ideals are lofty, but reality is harsh."

"That's unlikely to happen, young man!"

Fan Yu nodded, said "Come with me," and then walked away without looking back.

Xu Yang followed closely behind.

The two completely ignored Ma Xiaotao, who had been a third wheel for so long.

"Stop right there!"

Enraged, Ma Xiaotao directly activated her martial spirit, attempting to capture Xu Yang.

However, as if Xu Yang had anticipated this, his defensive soul tool automatically activated, directly knocking Ma Xiaotao aside with considerable force. It would probably take her several days to recover.

At the same time, Xu Yang was also secretly complaining.

"Ma Xiaotao hasn't improved at all these years except for her soul power and physique. Her brain, which is only the size of a soybean, is only good because she's at Shrek Academy and protected by Yan Shaozhe. If she encountered any wild soul masters outside, she'd probably be killed before she even had a chance to grow up."

When the many new students and parents nearby saw that a fight had broken out, instead of backing down, many of them rushed forward to join in the fun.

It just goes to show that loving to watch a spectacle is indeed human nature.

Moreover, if someone were to die because of the enrollment process, right at the gate of Shrek Academy, Shrek Academy would surely become famous in another way.

However, no one understood why Ma Xiaotao's fierce attack was neutralized so easily, and Xu Yang's clothes weren't even dirty.

This commotion also caught the attention of truly important figures, including Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy and the first true Soul Guidance Master of the department.

He had been busy dealing with the new students in the Soul Guidance Department, and this year was another year of no results. Every year, he could only select some mediocre students from the Martial Soul Department, which made Qian Duoduo very depressed.

Even though Mu En had begun shifting the focus of the Soul Guidance Department four years ago because of Zhang Lexuan's incident, it had only yielded minimal results.

Their Soul Guidance Department has only improved slightly since before, just a tiny bit. Because true Soul Guidance Masters of Level Seven or higher who don't belong to the Sun Moon Empire are extremely rare.

Qian Duoduo stepped forward, and at the same time, nine standard soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—rose beneath his feet.

After feeling the terrifying aura of the Title Douluo, the people present subconsciously made way for him.

Even the most ordinary Title Douluo is not someone that ordinary Soul Masters like them can mess with, let alone an elite Title Douluo from Shrek Academy.

Qian Duoduo's deep voice rang out, "What kind of behavior is it to fight at the gate of Shrek Academy?"

After saying that, he waved his hand and used his soul power to carry Ma Xiaotao, Xu Yang, and Fan Yu towards the interior of Shrek Academy.

Qian Duoduo ignored Ma Xiaotao, who was still sulking, since she would be leaving it to Yan Shaozhe to handle in a while anyway.

Instead, she stared intently at Xu Yang with her small eyes. Through her glasses, Xu Yang could see that Qian Duoduo's eyes held doubt, admiration, and a very obvious calculation.

"Your name is Otto?"

Qian Duoduo adjusted her glasses and rubbed her hands together as she asked.

"Otto Apocalypse, if you find my name hard to pronounce, you can just call me Otto."

Xu Yang straightened his clothes, which had been disheveled because of Ma Xiaotao, and spoke calmly.

-

"Alright, Otto. I'm asking you, what is your purpose in coming to Shrek Academy?"

"I've already explained it to this teacher, and I believe that with your Title Douluo-level hearing, you've already heard it. Or perhaps—is there some other reason you'd like to hear, senior?"

Xu Yang then took out several chairs from his storage soul tool and distributed them to the group.

"Let's sit down and talk. As for the unpleasantness just now, as long as this young lady sincerely apologizes to me, I can forgive her for her offense."

"you----"

Ma Xiaotao was clearly about to lash out again, but Qian Duoduo immediately stopped her.

"I believe your reasons just now, but—I don't believe it's that simple. Just because of those reasons, you would give up such a good environment as the Sun Moon Empire to join our Shrek Academy?"

"In my opinion, this reason is far too weak."

"Ah—I see. Actually, I did hide part of the reason."

"The pro-war faction I offended happens to wield considerable power in the Sun Moon Empire. They can make my life very uncomfortable, and even threaten my life, so—for my safety, I came here."
