Douluo Continent: Half-level Innate Realm, but a Sword Cultivator with a Heart-Only Mind

Qian Renxue has been an undercover agent in the Heaven Dou Empire for many years. Just how much control does she have over the Heaven Dou Empire?

This can be seen from the extent of her control over the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

All three instructors at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, all at the Soul Douluo level, are her people.

It should be noted that the Heaven Dou royal family does not have any titled Douluo; the Soul Douluo is already the strongest force that the Heaven Dou royal family can control.

Besides Meng Shenji and his two companions, most of the four thousand Soul Masters stationed at the Heaven Dou Royal Family also obeyed Qian Renxue's orders.

It can be said that Qian Renxue had long possessed the ability to launch a palace coup.

However, a throne obtained through a palace coup is ultimately illegitimate and lacks legitimacy, making it prone to backlash.

In addition, Emperor Xueye's health had been deteriorating over the years, so Qian Renxue endured it and wanted to wait for his death.

But as her level increased, she eventually couldn't wait any longer.

She must return to the Spirit Hall to participate in the Divine Trial before reaching level 90.

Therefore, she had to speed things up.

...

Just as undercurrents were surging within the royal family of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Shrek Academy.

Ning Rongrong had already returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Although Dai Mubai is stubborn, he is not tough at all.

After returning to Heaven Dou City, he hid in Shrek Academy and dared not go anywhere.

It's not the theft itself that's scary, it's having someone eyeing it.

Dai Mubai ultimately decided to give in to Ning Rongrong.

He approached Zhu Zhuqing, hoping she would privately reconcile with Ning Rongrong.

The two women had a decent relationship, but on this matter, there was absolutely no room for negotiation.

Although Zhu Zhuqing approached the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Rongrong guessed her purpose and refused to even see her.

Dai Mubai grew increasingly nervous and uneasy, regretting his impulsive actions.

But it's too late now.

He offended Ning Rongrong in the Heaven Dou Empire, and had Davis, a formidable enemy, in the Star Luo Empire.

Now, there is almost nowhere for him to stay on the entire continent.

The immense pressure was suffocating him, and he even began to slack off in his cultivation again.

Now, he has two little people fighting in his head every day.

One told him to enjoy life while he could, while the other told him not to give up.

But he saw absolutely no hope, unless...

Shrek Dean's Office.

Flander looked at Dai Mubai, who seemed much more dejected, and sighed inwardly, but still smiled and said, "Mubai, what brings you here?"

Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and suddenly knelt down on the ground with a thud.

Upon seeing this, Flander's pupils dilated, and he exclaimed in shock, "Mu Bai, what are you doing?"

After saying that, he stepped forward, grabbed Dai Mubai's arm, and tried to pull him up.

But Dai Mubai refused to get up, only looking at Flander with pleading eyes.

"Dean, can I ask you for a favor?"

Flander vaguely guessed what Dai Mubai wanted to say, but still said to him, "Mubai, we can talk things over. Get up and let's talk."

Dai Mubai shook his head decisively and said, "Dean, if you don't agree, I won't get up."

Flander sighed upon hearing this and could only say helplessly, "Tell me what you need from me first, and I'll do my best to help if I can."

Dai Mubai was overjoyed.

He pleaded, "Dean, I would like to request that you come with me to the Star Luo Empire to lend me a hand!"

Upon hearing this, Flander's expression changed.

Just as he expected.

If it were anything else, even if Dai Mubai wanted him to negotiate with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he would be willing to swallow his pride and ask Ning Fengzhi to plead for him.

Because at most he'll lose some face.

But if it involves the struggle for the throne within the Star Luo royal family, people could really die.

Although Davis is not yet the crown prince of the Star Luo Empire, his position is as stable as Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Xue Qinghe still had the support of three Soul Douluos from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so what about Davis?

It should be noted that the Star Luo Empire is much stronger than the Heaven Dou Empire.

Furthermore, the Star Luo royal family's control over the empire far surpasses that of the Heaven Dou royal family.

Therefore, there will be more powerful people supporting Davis than Xue Qinghe.

Although the combined strength of the Golden Iron Triangle is enough to contend with high-level Soul Douluo, even two fists can't fight four hands.

Moreover, even if he agreed to Dai Mubai's request, Erlong and Xiaogang might not.

After all, they didn't have a deep relationship with Dai Mubai.

Moreover, among the three upper sects, apart from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan never participate in political struggles.

(Dai Mubai's original words, and the three upper sects are all within the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire, but the source of the claim that the Haotian Sect is supporting the Star Luo Empire is unclear.)

Seeing the change in Flander's expression, Dai Mubai immediately felt anxious.

Davis has deep roots in the Star Luo Empire, and the Soul Master Competition is his only chance to defeat him without relying on external forces.

Having missed the Soul Master Competition, if he wants to continue competing with Davis, he can only find help.

Flander was the only chance Dai Mubai could think of to turn the tide.

After all, the reputation of the Golden Iron Triangle is not to be underestimated. If they could get Flander's support, Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang would probably not let Flander go to Xingluo alone to risk his life.

In this way, he would essentially have the combat power of a high-level Soul Douluo, and might even be able to go toe-to-toe with Davis.

Dai Mubai hugged Flander's legs with both hands.

"Dean, if I become the Emperor of Xingluo, I will bestow upon you the title of King."

"Don't you like money?"

"I can give you a million gold soul coins!"

"And Shrek Academy, you can open one in Star Luo City as well. I will have all the geniuses of the Star Luo Empire join Shrek Academy and let the name Shrek resound throughout the continent."

"As long as I can become emperor, I will listen to you in everything, I will listen to you."

"I will trust you more than anyone else, give you important responsibilities, and treat you with the same reverence and respect as I would a father..."

"I don't want to lose this opportunity, and I want to survive even more."

"Dean!!"

"I...I desperately want to be emperor!!"

Dai Mubai wept bitterly, revealing his true feelings.

In that instant, even Flander was slightly persuaded.

But he quickly came to his senses.

No matter how big the pie in Dai Mubai's picture is, you still need to be alive to eat it!

If he were to go to the Star Luo Empire to help Dai Mubai, he would be wasting his time alone.

The other teachers at Shrek Academy only came together to avoid serving the nobles, and they wanted them to fight for Dai Mubai's throne.

is it possible?

Thinking of this, Flanders sighed.

"Mu Bai, I cannot agree to this."

Dai Mubai was shocked and hurriedly tugged at Flander's trouser leg, saying, "Dean, why is this? Was the offer I made not generous enough?"

Flander shook his head and said, "If you just want to save your own life, neither Old Zhao nor I will stand by and watch you die."

"But if you're after the throne, then I'm sorry, neither I nor the other teachers at the academy will help you."

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

After a long while, he walked out of the dean's office, disheartened, with only one thought in his mind.

If he had known that all his efforts would be in vain, he might as well have indulged himself for the past two years.

Thinking of this, he even felt a bit more resentful towards Zhu Zhuqing.

If it weren't for Zhu Zhuqing's appearance, he might still be enjoying life to the fullest.

The more Dai Mubai thought about it, the stronger his resentment became. In addition, due to the threat from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School these days, he had been holding back a fire and wanted to let it out.

Therefore, he immediately put the threat from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School out of his mind and stepped out of the academy gate.

He refused to believe that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would dare to attack him in broad daylight!
