Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

Resolution 132

Moon couldn't remember the last time he felt so powerless, except for four years ago.

He made great strides throughout his life, and ever since he awakened the innate full-soul power of the Holy Dragon at the age of six, he has been known as a prodigy.

He climbed step by step from a Soul Master to a Title Douluo, from a student of Shrek Academy to the current Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion.

Aside from matters of the heart, Moon had never suffered a setback, but the sense of powerlessness he felt four years ago brought him back to the pressure he hadn't felt in a long time.

"Duoduo————"

Moon's voice was low, but it sent a shockwave through everyone present.

They knew that the real person in charge of Shrek Academy was about to express his opinion.

If Xuanzi still held some sway before Mu En recovered and was focused on healing, then after Mu En's full recovery, Shrek Academy became entirely his personal fiefdom.

However, none of the people present seemed to have any aversion to it; in fact, they were quite nostalgic for this long-lost feeling.

The Dragon God Douluo, who has dominated the Douluo Continent for a hundred years, has returned.

"Elder Mu, you said—"

Qian Duoduo bowed and tilted her head slightly, pretending to listen attentively.

"Just do as you think it is."

"Also, Huiqun—"

Moon called out to another person.

It was Elder Lin, who controlled Shrek Academy's Treasure Pavilion, the biggest money bag, whose real name was Lin Huiqun.

Old Lin stood up and bowed slightly in acknowledgment.

"Afterwards, grant the highest level of access to your Treasure Pavilion to that little guy Duoduo mentioned. Whatever he needs, as long as the price doesn't exceed one million gold soul coins, there's no need to report it. If it exceeds one million gold soul coins, remember to report to me. I'll decide whether to issue it after my approval."

Mu En's words completely unsettled the titled Douluo present.

With such immense power, even when Qian Duoduo was applying for funding, he always looked like he was about to die, which is why Old Master Lin reluctantly distributed the funds.

How much tax revenue does Shrek Academy generate in a year? It's being squandered by a newcomer who hasn't even committed to Shrek yet.

Even Qian Duoduo herself didn't expect that Mu En would delegate so much power.

This was completely unexpected.

Many people stood up, hoping that Moon would retract his decision.

Yan Shaozhe looked like he was constipated.

"Elder Mu, isn't this... a bit too unorthodox?"

Xuanzi, being the most powerful cultivator among those present, spoke first on behalf of all the elders.

"Even if we're going to delegate authority, I think we should do it step by step, especially since he hasn't fully embraced his role as a member of Shrek Academy yet."

Xuanzi stopped eating chicken legs and drinking wine.

He felt much more energetic.

"Xuanzi, my time is running out—"

"Even if things continue like this, it will be difficult to last until Bei Bei and his generation become Super Douluo."

"During this lull, if you can break through your limits, that's fine. But if you can't, Shrek Academy will be met with the merciless level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons of the Sun Moon Empire."

"How many Title Douluo's lives do you expect to accumulate that thing?"

"Can we really gather sixty Title Douluos again like we did a thousand years ago? Even if we can, what are the chances of successfully resisting the Sun Moon Empire's invasion?"

"More than a decade ago, I visited the Sun Moon Empire, and the development of soul tools there was astonishing even to me."

"I can tell you definitively that soul tools capable of threatening the lives of Limit Douluo exist. Furthermore, four years ago—"

Moon's words reminded everyone present of that unpleasant memory.

As titled Douluo, they had been proud their entire lives, never once bowing their heads. Yet, they were humiliated and challenged by a mere child.

The child's reliance was merely on a Super Douluo, a Super Douluo with a different kind of soul tool.

Over the past four years, they have considered developing soul tools, but—as Qian Duoduo said, the gap is simply too large. They don't even know where to begin in catching up.

Mu En's recovery was like a shot in the arm, allowing these senior titled Douluo of Shrek Academy to briefly forget their pain.

Now that the wound has been reopened, everyone's face is grim.

"The reason I did this is because I trust your judgment, Duoduo. At least—before I pass away, that little guy you mentioned can become a ninth-level Soul Master who is devoted to Shrek Academy."

"When the Sun Moon Empire attacks again, we won't be helpless."

"Let me use this crippled body to protect Shrek one last time!"

Mu En murmured to himself.

Every word Moon uttered struck everyone like a heavy blow. They had been so engrossed in Shrek Glory that they had overlooked many things.

"teacher----"

Yan Shaozhe's words were urgent.

"So—do as I say, give that little guy all the resources to nurture him. Strive to see a level nine Soul Master of Shrek Academy before I pass away."

After saying his last sentence, Moon fell silent.

Qian Duoduo took off his Soul Master badge, held it in his hand, and made a promise to Mu En.

"I guarantee that in less than twenty years, Shrek Academy will have its own Level 9 Soul Master!"

As a result of this decision, Xu Yang ended up receiving special attention from Shrek Academy. Or rather, it was also for the purpose of surveillance, so he was placed in a core area near Poseidon Lake.

The residents of this place are usually some elders of the Sea God Pavilion or outstanding core disciples of the inner court. He, a newly hired teacher from the Soul Guidance Department, has become an outlier.

Xu Yang himself was both amused and exasperated upon learning of this, and was also surprised by the changes Shrek Academy had undergone over the years.

"I didn't expect Tang San to actually make a move."

"However—it doesn't seem to stop me from having fun, huh?"

Xu Yang shook his head, putting the matter out of his mind, and focused on studying his soul DNA database. This was the key to mass-producing artificial ten-thousand-year soul rings at low cost, and he couldn't afford any mistakes while running around for it.

As for Xu Yang's Otto clone, he was currently sitting by the Sea God Lake, enjoying the breeze, waiting for Qian Duoduo to arrange his next task.

Otto's clone squinted and saw a familiar figure on the lake.

It was Qian Duoduo; Xu Yang guessed that it was most likely an arrangement made for him. In the blink of an eye, he appeared beside Xu Yang.

"Dean, what's up? Has the arrangement for me been finalized?"

"Yes, it's decided that you'll be sent to the Soul Guidance Department to mentor the new students and experience the Shrek spirit. Also, remember to fill out the weekly work report; I still have some things to take care of with Elder Lin."

"You can handle it yourself with the Soul Guidance Department."
