Douluo Continent: Saving Zhang Lexuan at the Start

Chapter 59 Star Luo War

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and another year was about to end, but the students of the Soul Guidance Department had already begun a new round of assessments.

In the Soul Guidance Production Area, Zhang Lexuan rested her chin on her hands, looking tenderly at Ye Ying in front of her with her beautiful eyes.

Although Zhang Lexuan was much older and more skilled than Ye Ying, she didn't show off her abilities. Instead, she carefully hid herself behind Ye Ying.

Stroking the soft, jade-like slender white hand in his own, Ye Ying was somewhat puzzled. There was no movement from the Martial Soul Department, but the Soul Guidance Department had already started its assessment ahead of schedule?

Generally speaking, the assessment for the Soul Guidance Department is the same as that for the Martial Soul Department, and the assessment is conducted directly at the start of the following year.

Those who pass will be admitted to higher education; those who fail will be advised to withdraw.

For some reason, this assessment was conducted before the holiday.

With the arrival of Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er, the two deans of the Soul Guidance Department, as well as Fan Yu and several other teachers from the department, all the students began to concentrate.

There aren't many students in the Soul Guidance Department; including Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan, there are only seventy-four people.

Compared to those with martial souls, their talent is poor, not to mention their soul power level is even more appalling. Apart from Zhang Lexuan, there are three Soul Masters, and they are all those who have only recently broken through.

At Qian Duoduo's prompting, Fan Yu stepped forward, his stern face showing little change in expression. "Currently, the Star Luo Empire has gone to war with the Sun Moon Empire. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the battle at the front, the Soul Guidance Department's holiday has been canceled. Everyone must complete three melee and ranged Soul Guidance Devices of a relatively high level every day, as required."

"

As soon as Fan Yu finished speaking, the seventy or so students from the Soul Guidance Department below the stage began to discuss among themselves.

Although the Soul Guidance Department is not popular at Shrek Academy, the families of students who can enter Shrek are basically all powerful individuals above the Soul King level, or nobles of the rank of Earl or above.

Objections to the Soul Guidance Department's decision were quickly raised: "Why should we? What business is it of ours if the Star Luo Empire is at war?"

"Exactly, why do we need to help them!"

Scattered voices rang out, mostly from students from the Heavenly Soul Empire.

As for the Douling Empire, sorry, they have never taken soul tools seriously, even the royal Xue family has led the way in rejecting them.

Fan Yu frowned, and seven spirit rings appeared—two yellow, two purple, and three black—revealing his strength as a level 78 Soul Saint.

No one expected that Fan Yu, who was usually very rigid, was not a weakling among the Soul Saints.

"Calm down, this is the school's decision. If anyone fails to meet the requirements, the school will impose severe penalties!"

Although Qian Duoduo's strength is lacking, and he might not be able to defeat Yan Shaozhe even if he used all his strength, he is still a titled Douluo.

With him in charge, the students in the Soul Guidance Department basically stopped causing trouble and all obediently began making their own Soul Guidance Devices of the corresponding level.

Although most students in the Soul Guidance Department are below the fourth level Soul Guidance Master, the battle has already begun. As long as they can use it, what right does the Star Luo Empire have to be picky?

The backwardness of Douluo Three Kingdoms is not just due to the various soul tools, but to the backwardness of the entire system.

Soul tools are certainly good, but they cannot bridge the gap in industrial foundation between the Douluo Three Kingdoms and the Sun Moon Empire.

However, this was a matter concerning the Douluo Three Kingdoms, and Ye Ying had no say in it. She gently squeezed Zhang Lexuan's soft hand and said, "Let's get started. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can go home."

Shrek Academy is still a step above the Ye family, so they should be given the respect they deserve.

Making three soul tools is enough as a token gesture; as for whether they'll come tomorrow, Shrek Academy won't care.

With their dedication to meticulous craftsmanship, the two completed the three level-two soul tools in less than two hours.

Fan Yu checked it over and nodded in acknowledgment. Ye Ying then took Zhang Lexuan and left.

Shrek City, Green Leaf Teahouse, is one of the few businesses owned by the Ye family outside the city.

When Ye Zhenfeng had free time while guarding the two men, he would come here to drink tea.

Unlike the bustling other shops, Qingye Teahouse was very quiet, with only Ye Zhenfeng sitting there drinking tea.

The reason for this is the entry requirements for this teahouse; only members of the Ye family with titles are allowed to enter.

This statement clearly shows that the Ye family had no intention of making money from this teahouse.

"You're here. Are you curious why Xingluo would initiate a war?"

Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan sat opposite Ye Zhenfeng, and the waiter immediately placed two cups of fragrant tea on the table.

"Third Grandfather, do you have any news?"

Hearing Ye Ying's words, Ye Zhenfeng chuckled, "It's all family news. I only learned about it three days ago. Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Kingdom launched a surprise attack on three important towns of the Sun Moon Empire without the permission of Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire, and massacred tens of thousands."

The Xu family of Xingguan originally evolved from the Xingguan Sect, the national guardian sect of the Xingluo Empire. Four thousand years ago, during the continental collision war, they officially replaced the Dai family and became the rulers of the Xingluo Empire.

However, Shrek Academy was at its peak at the time, and due to its interference, the Xu family's replacement was not perfect. Now, the military power of the entire Star Luo Empire is basically in the hands of the Dai family.

The Xu family can directly control only a quarter of the Star Luo Empire's military force.

"So—the Xu family went to find Grandpa again."

Ye Zhenfeng did not deny that the Xu family had indeed gone to the Longyue Mountains, but Ye Zhenting had not agreed to it.

After all, the Ye family and the Sun Moon Royal Family are sworn enemies. If a strong member of the Ye family appears on the battlefield, it may not be just a simple local war.

"Of course, and Xu Jiawei brought up the old issue again."

Ye Zhenfeng's words suddenly carried a hint of teasing, causing Ye Ying's expression to change. "Third Grandfather, Sister Xuanxuan is still here!"

That matter was truly due to his youthful ignorance. If you bring it up again, Ye Ying won't know how to explain it to Zhang Lexuan.

Fortunately, Zhang Lexuan did not show much interest and simply sat quietly next to Ye Ying, drinking tea.

Just as Ye Ying was about to return home, the Star Luo Empire, which bordered the Sun Moon Empire and was actually located in a small border town, was thousands of miles away from Shrek City.

The majority of people here are from the Sun Moon Empire, but there are also quite a few people from the Star Luo Empire who have settled here.

The town, though not wealthy in the past, was quiet and peaceful; now it is nothing but ruins.

Corpses of the dead were everywhere, and soldiers of the Star Luo Empire could be seen searching the area from time to time.

The reason people are able to join the army and fight is simply to get promoted and make money.

However, the soldiers at the bottom, who don't even have soul power and have no hope of advancement, have the greatest desire to make a fortune through war.

Murder and robbery are among their few sources of income.

In such cases, even the most brilliant generals would turn a blind eye in order to maintain morale.

In an unknown corner of the town, three soldiers from the Star Luo Empire killed a seemingly kind-looking man with their spears, and this bloody scene was witnessed by an orange-haired girl.
