Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 251 Only Victory Allowed, Defeat Not an Option

Stepping into the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Tang Wulin and his companions immediately felt as if they had entered a science fiction world, unlike the more ancient and rustic decorations of Shrek Academy.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is more like a modern factory that keeps up with the times, with everything exuding a metallic feel.

In the center of the hall, a huge metal sphere floated and rotated silently, clearly containing surging soul-guiding energy and a core magic array within. It emitted a faint glow, making the entire hall bright yet softly lit.

The middle-aged man didn't say anything, just walked ahead, leading Tang Wulin and the other six. When they passed the front desk, two very beautiful receptionists stood up and bowed respectfully to him.

There were quite a few people in the hall at this time, of varying ages, and many of them were dressed the same in white school uniforms. These were clearly the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Most of the time, their gazes toward Tang Wulin and his group were filled with curiosity, but also with repulsion and malice.

"Shrek Academy, which is popular everywhere, seems to be a formidable enemy here. Have all the students here been brainwashed?" Tang Wulin thought to himself.

The middle-aged man led Tang Wulin and his group of five into the elevator, without saying a word the entire time. This meant that Tang Wulin and his group could only communicate with each other through eye contact.

The elevator stopped on the sixteenth floor. The middle-aged man stepped out first, followed by Tang Wulin and the others.

They arrived at a place that resembled a conference room. "Sit down," the middle-aged man said, not even bothering to say "please."

Tang Wulin was already mentally prepared. After all, they were there to cause trouble, so they had to be prepared. No wonder their attitude was anything but pleasant. Teacher Wu, you're such a troublemaker!

"You've come to challenge us, haven't you?" the middle-aged man asked the five people, as if to confirm.

Tang Wulin nodded. "Let's have a friendly spar."

The middle-aged man said, "Alright. We'll give you some space to choose your opponents later. Our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy won't take advantage of your age. State your age."

Tang Wulin felt a slight sense of relief and inwardly exclaimed with a sigh of relief. Among his peers, they really weren't afraid of anyone. Well, apart from Fors and Lu Fa, whom they met on the Soul Guidance Train!

"We're fourteen years old on average," Tang Wulin said.

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly. "Very good. The students we're sending will be no more than fifteen years old. Their ages are roughly the same as yours."

But there are two things I need to inform you of in advance. First, the entire academy will be watching this match together. Second, this match will be broadcast live on all the large screens in Mingdu City.

Tang Wulin felt a chill run down his spine. "It's just a private sparring match, there's no need for such a grand spectacle, is there?" he asked tentatively.

The middle-aged man said calmly, "It's necessary! If you win, it will serve as an impetus for all the students in our academy; if you lose, we can give Shrek Academy a good slap in the face. So, it's necessary."

What deep-seated hatred could lead to such cruelty?

Tang Wulin finally understood why Wu Changkong had used this method to provoke them into issuing challenges. It seemed the conflict between the two academies was far more intense than they had imagined.

But now that things have come to this, they have no way out; this is a match they cannot afford to lose.

"Okay!" Tang Wulin's answer was just this one word.

"You all wait here." The middle-aged man stood up and left, leaving only Tang Wulin and his four companions in the meeting room.

Seeing that the others were about to say something, Tang Wulin raised his hand to stop them, "Now we can only deal with whatever comes our way. Among our peers, how many do you think can be a match for Shrek Academy?"

The other four nodded silently, but sat cross-legged and adjusted their state. In this battle, they could only win and could not afford to lose!

……

The middle-aged man then arrived at a conference room and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" an old voice rang out.

The middle-aged man pushed open the door and entered. Looking around, he saw that almost all the senior members of the academy had gathered there.

"Dean, they are students from Class 1, Grade 1 of Shrek Academy, mostly around fourteen years old. Their purpose this time is to challenge our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy," the middle-aged man said calmly.

"Is that so!" Ao Hongchen, the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, said calmly, "Since they are so eager to be defeated, then let the members of the Seven Stars of Glory fight them."

"Dean, Lu Fa, the current captain of the Seven Stars of Glory, hasn't he finished acquiring all his spirit rings yet?" At this moment, a teacher sitting below asked.

"Lu Fa is currently in Tian Dou City due to some matters." Ao Hongchen glanced at the teacher who still wanted to say something, then waved his hand. "Alright, Lu Fa isn't here, doesn't our academy have anyone capable of defeating him?"

"They're just a few first-year students, Shrek Academy, humph! I didn't expect them to actually come looking for us." Ao Hongchen sneered.

"Pass the word down: this publicity campaign must be done well. Since they've come all this way to embarrass us, we can't let them down. We can also take this opportunity to promote our academy's reputation." Ao Hongchen waved his hand and gave the order.

"yes!"

The people in the meeting room immediately sprang into action, leaving only Ao Hongchen and Lu Fa's homeroom teacher, Dang Hongchen.

"So? Are you confident about Shrek Academy's challenge this time?" Ao Hongchen asked his son calmly.

"Don't worry, Father. Even if Lu Fa isn't here, there's still Shen Wei. His strength is no less than Lu Fa's. He's already a One-Word Battle Armor Master," Dang Hongchen said with some emotion.

"Really! It seems they are even more outstanding than I imagined, blacksmiths!" Ao Hongchen's tone was also somewhat wistful. When they first started providing resources to Lu Fa and the others, they discovered that the other party had already begun forging battle armor parts.

Two thirteen-year-old boys, whose cultivation level had not yet reached the Soul King level, had already begun forging and fusing parts of the battle armor, and these parts were even made of spirit alloy.

Kamui was a level four repairman, which surprised him, but that was all. However, Lufa was actually a level six blacksmith!

Upon hearing this news, Ao Hongchen was at a loss for words to describe his feelings. Excitement, joy—a level six blacksmith under thirteen years old! This meant that the other party had a very high chance of reaching the level of a divine craftsman.

On this point, Ao Hongchen, an eighth-level master craftsman, felt he had a lot to say. He had even considered personally taking Lu Fa as his disciple.

However, before that, Lu Fa had applied to him in advance, saying that he wanted to go out to obtain a spirit ring, so this idea was delayed.
