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

Chapter 309 Where Dreams Begin

Since Lu Fa was attacked in Tian Dou City half a year ago, Ao Hongchen was furious when he learned of the incident. He not only went to Tian Dou City to pick up Lu Fa and Dang Hongchen, but also personally went to Tian Dou City to pick them up.

At the same time, the power of the Red Dust Clan was mobilized, requesting the Federation to cooperate in eradicating the Evil Soul Masters. At least for that period of time, the Evil Soul Masters were indeed much more stable.

At the same time, Lu Fa was instructed not to go out for the time being and to stay in Mingdu as much as possible. As the most advanced city on the continent, Mingdu was far superior to Shrek Academy in terms of the placement of soul tools.

If any evil spirit master dared to attack Lu Fa in Mingdu, he could definitely hold out until Ao Hongchen arrived, thanks to the radiance of the sun and moon on his body. Besides, the Mingdu security force was not to be underestimated.

As the capital of the Federation, even Black-level mechs are not uncommon here, and God-level mechs are not unheard of either, with a large number of Battle Armor Masters.

Ever since Yun Ming tore a huge hole in the sky above Mingdu a hundred years ago, the Federation personnel have thoroughly strengthened Mingdu's defenses. Even if a Limit Douluo dares to cause trouble, they will definitely make him suffer.

"Didn't you see how troubled the captain seemed? You should stop bothering him."

At this moment, Xue Liushuang, who had long blue-pink hair, a tall figure, and a cold and beautiful appearance, spoke up.

As the owner of the Splitting Light Sword Martial Soul, Xue Liushuang may seem a bit cold, but she is actually the kind of person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and she also has a high degree of affection for Lu Fa.

Compared to Zui Hongchen's lively and enthusiastic personality, she is more inclined to be introverted and reserved.

However, seeing that Zui Hongchen was constantly pestering Lu Fa, she couldn't stand it and immediately interrupted Zui Hongchen's entanglement with Lu Fa.

"Hmph, Sister Liushuang, could you please stop interrupting my time with Brother Lufa? It's very rude of you," Zui Hongchen said, displeased.

Xue Liushuang was not to be outdone, replying, "It's better for girls to be a little more reserved. Constantly pestering the captain like this will not only cause trouble for him, but also negatively impact the atmosphere of the academy."

"You..." Zui Hongchen puffed out her cheeks and glared angrily at Xue Liushuang.

Bang, bang, bang!

Just then, a round of clapping broke the silence between the two, drawing the attention of everyone else.

Ao Hongchen and Dang Hongchen walked over one after the other. It was Dang Hongchen who had just clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention.

"Now I'm going to announce something, and everyone should look at me."

After seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him, Dang Hongchen said, "Tomorrow is the day the Star Luo Continent exchange group will return to the Star Luo Continent. As the representative academy of the Federation, our academy will also send corresponding personnel to go there for exchanges and exchanges."

As some of the most outstanding geniuses in the academy, you have also been included on this list. Now, you can start preparing anything you need to.

"Yes."

The eight members of Lu Fa responded that Dang Hongchen had already told them about the exchange group from Xingluo Continent coming to Douluo Continent to exchange ideas with them, and that a group of people would be selected to go to Xingluo Continent together afterward, so they were not surprised.

Indeed, there are people in the Federation who are now interested in starting a war and plundering resources, but that is the idea of ​​the hawks.

Doves advocate for peaceful exchange, and now throughout the Federation, hawks and doves are constantly arguing about this issue.

However, due to the existence of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, the doves have always held the upper hand.

Doves wouldn't refuse something as peaceful as traveling to the Star Luo Continent for exchanges.

Ao Hongchen also felt that this was a good thing that would help the students broaden their horizons, so he did not refuse. Experiencing the customs of a foreign land would definitely be beneficial to their growth.

As for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, which specializes in sending talents to the Federation, they took the initiative to request to go to the Star Luo Continent, so the members of the exchange group naturally did not refuse.

Rather, this is definitely a good thing. It at least shows that the Federation's attitude towards the Star Luo Continent is still friendly. Otherwise, why would they specifically send students to exchange ideas? Isn't this one of the signs of their trust in them?

As for Shrek Academy?

I'm sorry, but as an academy with its own laws and regulations, Shrek Academy doesn't really represent the Federation. Or rather, in most people's eyes, Shrek Academy is no longer an academy, but rather more like a powerful force.

Even though it has always touted itself as peaceful and neutral, in the eyes of many high-ranking officials in the Federation, Shrek Academy is not much different from Tang Sect, Spirit Pagoda, and the like.

Which academy would claim to love peace while causing all sorts of damage to the Federal Military?

Not to mention, when the Federation was in the right and went to Shrek Academy to demand an explanation, the other party actually said things like, "This world is one where the strong are respected, might makes right, and if you're not convinced, fight me."

Looking at the fists of those Shrek executives, as big as casserole dishes, and then at the Sky-Piercing Spear behind them, even the Federation's top brass could only swallow their anger silently.

"Teacher Dang, who will be the team leader sent by the academy?" Xue Liushuang asked, raising her hand.

As their homeroom teacher, Dang Hongchen will likely accompany them to the Star Luo Continent, but he probably won't be the only one. After all, the people of the Star Luo Continent might not be very friendly towards them.

Without a strong leader, it's easy to be looked down upon by the people of the Star Luo Continent, and you might even suffer some unfair treatment.

"It's me." At this moment, Ao Hongchen, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

"I will be your team leader for this exchange activity."

"Hey? Dean, it's you?"

Even the others were shocked. As the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Ao Hongchen's status was extraordinary! Why would he participate in this event? Would the Federation agree to it?

As a Limit Douluo, Ao Hongchen is a powerful bulwark in Mingdu. He has always been stationed at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, serving as a bulwark for the region.

Once he leaves, things will be fine in other areas of Mingdu, but the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's forces will become weak.

Under normal circumstances, even if it is an exchange activity, sending the vice dean should be enough to show their attitude. After all, the vice dean is also a Super Douluo, and he should be more than capable of protecting them.

"Hmm." Ao Hongchen nodded. "You guys are the top geniuses in the academy, and you will definitely become the backbone of the Federation in the future. I'm not too comfortable sending others to protect your safety. It's safer for me to keep an eye on things myself."

"Dean!"

Upon hearing Ao Hongchen's words, the others were immediately moved. They hadn't expected the Dean to value them so much. Despite being a Limit Douluo, he was willing to condescend to protect them, a few Soul Masters.

"Alright, hurry up and get ready." Ao Hongchen smiled kindly, then left with Dang Hongchen, leaving Xue Liushuang, Long Chen, and the others with touching expressions.

After leaving their sight, Ao Hongchen immediately said to Dang Hongchen beside him, "On the way to the Star Luo Continent, you must keep an eye on the safety of Lu Fa and the others. It's not safe there."

Terrorist attacks are just as frequent as those perpetrated by evil spirit masters in the Federation. In case of an emergency, I will hold them off for you first; you should prioritize getting the students away from here.

"Understood, Father." Dang Hongchen nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "However, is the Star Luo Continent really that turbulent? Here we are troubled by evil soul masters, but what is it about them?"

Ao Hongchen snorted coldly, "Do you think it's peaceful on their side? Back when they found the new continent, it wasn't called Star Luo Continent. And exploration is always accompanied by killing."

Just like the Sun Moon Empire, the predecessor of the Federation, the natives there were not friendly towards outsiders. However, in the end, the people of the Star Luo Empire prevailed and suppressed them all.

"Of course, the people of the Star Luo Empire did not exterminate them. Instead, they left some of the natives behind and then integrated with them. The natives there were also extraordinary; their blood seemed to possess a special power."

Similar to the bloodline of spirit beasts, this allows them to still produce many spirit master geniuses after intermarrying with people from the Star Luo Continent, making it a mutually beneficial arrangement.

"Isn't this a good thing?" Dang Hongchen asked in confusion.

"Indeed, it is very good." Ao Hongchen said earnestly, "But the hatred of the massacre of our ancestors has not been forgotten by some of the remaining natives. Even if they cannot shake the Star Luo Empire now, it is not a problem for them to carry out some terrorist attacks to retaliate."

This is a problem left over from history. Even though many of them have let go of their hatred after intermarrying with the Star Luo Continent, and after thousands of years of adjustment, there are always some who still remember what happened back then and harbor hatred towards the Star Luo Empire.

"I see." Dang Hongchen suddenly realized. He didn't know much about the situation on the Star Luo Continent, since the Hongchen family's business was not related to the Star Luo Continent.

"This exchange group is a great opportunity for those terrorist organizations. If they can eliminate the people from Douluo Continent, they might be able to sow discord between the Star Luo Empire and the Federation."

Moreover, those evil spirit masters are restless; even on the Star Luo Continent, there are quite a few of them!

This is why Ao Hongchen personally took action; the members of the Seven Stars of Glory have extraordinary backgrounds.

Long Chen and Xue Liushuang both come from famous families, while Kuang Zhantian and Jian Mochen's parents are from the Federal Military. His granddaughter, Zui Hongchen, needs no introduction.

Only Lu Fa, Shen Wei, and Weng Daimin are definitely from commoner backgrounds. Oh, no, Lu Fa and Shen Wei are descendants of martyrs.

Of course, there was another reason why Ao Hongchen chose to go in person, and that was Lu Fa!

That's the rising star of their Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy! Ever since Lu Fa defeated the Shrek Academy students head-on in a live broadcast across the entire continent, and demonstrated the strength of a Saint Craftsman.

Ao Hongchen knew that Lu Fa would definitely be targeted by some people, which is why he specially gave Lu Fa the level 10 soul tool, Sun and Moon Shining. Unexpectedly, it would have been better if the other party hadn't made a move, because the first move was an attack by a Super Douluo.

Although the target of the attack was the master craftsman Zhenhua, the second attack was aimed directly at Lu Fa!

If it weren't for the protection of the sun and moon, he might have actually been taken advantage of. This incident served as a stark warning to Ao Hongchen.

Lu Fa was undoubtedly being targeted by those evil soul masters. This time, the Super Douluo's attack failed, so the opponent will definitely bring corresponding methods next time they make a move.

That's why Ao Hongchen asked Lu Fa to stay in Mingdu as much as possible unless there was something important. Even if there was something important, he could discuss it with Lu Fa, the dean.

This exchange activity of the Star Luo Continent delegation caught Ao Hongchen's eye. On the one hand, it could broaden the horizons of Lu Fa and the others, and on the other hand, it could allow him to temporarily go to other continents to avoid the limelight.

Of course, just in case, he himself had to accompany her. After all, his granddaughter was also in the exchange group, and as her grandfather, he was worried about her safety and wanted to go along. Even the people in the Federation couldn't say anything about that.

"Go and get ready. Also, take a few level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells. If the situation is urgent, have Lu Fa activate Sun and Moon Radiance to protect the others, and then you can throw those shells out."

Since they weren't on the Douluo Continent, Ao Hongchen didn't have many concerns. Even if they were held accountable later, they would definitely have a reason to refute it. If the Star Luo Continent's security wasn't so poor, would they have needed to use soul-guided cannons for protection?

"Yes."

……

The sky was a clear, bright blue, and the sun was shining intensely. This kind of weather always brings a sense of comfort and ease, at least without any oppressive feeling.

Nan Fusheng and his companions arrived in a city he knew well: Tianhai City, the largest city in the East Sea of ​​Douluo Continent.

Back then, his official rise to power began right here. He gradually eroded the forces in Tianhai City one by one, and now this place can be considered Nan Fusheng's stronghold.

The group of thirteen from Shrek Academy was led by Silver Moon Douluo Cai Yue'er and accompanied by teacher Tian Bingwu Changkong.

The trainees are: Fors Wall, Nan Fusheng, Na'er, Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, Yuan Enyehui, Le Zhengyu, Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, Xu Lizhi, and Ye Xinglan.

They came to Tianhai City to join the delegation from the Star Luo Continent.

After more than a year of exchanges, the Star Luo Continent delegation will return to Star Luo Continent by ship from here. Because the airspace is not open, they cannot leave by long-distance flight.

In reality, mechs can't fly that far. Long-distance flight vehicles, as far as we can see, only exist in the Douluo Continent.

The Federation could not risk having its newly developed soul-guided aircraft stolen and handing it over to the Star Luo Continent delegation. Therefore, leaving by ship was the only option.
