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

Chapter 372 Preparing for the Return Journey

"ah!!!"

A beautiful day begins with Xu Xiaoyan's exclamation.

In the staff canteen of the Spirit Pagoda.

"Xiaoyan, please forgive me this time." Nan Fusheng clasped his hands together and pleaded with Xu Xiaoyan.

Xu Xiaoyan, who was sitting opposite him, blushed immediately upon hearing Nan Fusheng's words, turned her head away, and ignored him.

"After all, Xiaoyan, you're so beautiful and so unguarded. Plus, given our position, it's inevitable that I would make a mistake," Nan Fusheng continued.

"You still dare to say that," Xu Xiaoyan said coquettishly.

"Xiaoyan, Fusheng, good morning." Just then, a lazy female voice rang out, and Fors' figure came from afar and sat down beside them.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two seemed a bit strange, Fors asked curiously, "What's wrong with you two? Did you have a fight?"

Nan Fusheng immediately said, "Yes, it's because of this morning..."

"Ah!" Xu Xiaoyan was instantly shocked and covered Nan Fusheng's mouth. How could she just say such a shameful thing? Even though she and Fors had a good relationship, it was better for as few people as possible to know about such embarrassing matters.

"It was just a minor disagreement, it's nothing now." Xu Xiaoyan explained to Fors, then gestured to Nan Fusheng with her eyes, "Let's leave it at that, I forgive you."

She wasn't really that angry to begin with. After all, if Nan Fusheng hadn't reacted at all, she would have doubted whether she was attractive enough. Her angry reaction just now was merely a little act to mask her inner shyness.

Nan Fusheng nodded repeatedly after receiving a look from Xu Xiaoyan, "Yes, it's just a small matter."

"Really?" Fors narrowed her eyes. A little conflict? Who would believe that? Oh well, as long as they're both happy, she doesn't mind being part of their play.

"Oh, it's perfect that you're all here." A deep voice rang out from behind the three.

"Senior Zhang." The three turned around and were about to stand up when they found an invisible force pressing down on them, pushing them back down.

"Alright." Zhang Geyang waved his hand. "No need for all this formalities. I don't care about these things."

"Hmm." Xu Xiaoyan nodded, no longer in the mood to joke around with Nan Fusheng, and sat up straight. Although Zhang Geyang said that, she wouldn't really take it seriously.

After all, the person in front of her was the highest-ranking person in charge of the Spirit Pagoda on the Star Luo Continent, and a great figure whose cultivation level had reached level ninety-eight. If it weren't for Fors's connection, how could she have easily met someone of this caliber?

Moreover, Zhang Geyang's gentle attitude was probably more due to Fors; Xu Xiaoyan was quite self-aware.

"Hmm, is there something you need?" Compared to Xu Xiaoyan's attitude, Fors's attitude was much more casual.

Zhang Geyang said, "It's information about your Shrek Academy. It seems that a member of your team has encountered some kind of accident and is currently discussing with the delegation members. It seems that they want to return to Douluo Continent first."

"What!" Xu Xiaoyan exclaimed in surprise.

Nan Fusheng also asked in a deep voice, "Senior Zhang, do you know the specifics of the situation?"

Zhang Geyang shook his head. "I only know that one of our members had an accident. I don't know anything else. I came here to tell you this news and to ask if you need to go back first."

The three exchanged a glance, and Nan Fusheng said, "Okay."

"Okay, then I'll arrange for a soul-guided car to take you there right now."

……

Inside the People's Hospital of the Star Luo Empire.

Zhang Geyang personally led Lu Fa, Nan Fusheng, and two others to this place.

When the five arrived, they were surprised to find many familiar faces. In addition to the students from Shrek Academy, the students from Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, as well as Dai Yun'er and Dai Yueyan from Monster Academy, were all there.

They all stood guard in front of a hospital room.

"Brother Lufa!" Zui Hongchen called out first, then rushed towards Lufa.

The attention of everyone else was instantly drawn to it.

Nan Fusheng walked towards the Shrek Academy students and asked in a low voice, "What happened? Who was in trouble?"

Xie Xie explained to Nan Fusheng, "Wu Lin got into trouble. He went to the Tang Sect on a mission and was covered in injuries. I don't know the specifics, but the Star Luo Empire's healing-type Soul Masters are treating him right now."

The relationship between Dai Yun'er and Wu Lin seems to have become quite unusual. After learning about Wu Lin's situation, she actually went to ask the dean of Monster Academy and the dean of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to come and take a look at Wu Lin. They are currently inside treating Wu Lin.

At this moment, Dai Yun'er suddenly walked towards Zhang Geyang's position, bowed deeply to him, and said something surprising: "Could you please ask Senior Zhang to come in and help as well?"

If you can heal Tang Wulin's injuries, the Empire will certainly provide you with a satisfactory reward. Even if you are not cured, a small gift will be sent afterward to thank you for your help. I swear this in the name of the Imperial Princess.”

Upon hearing this, everyone around her looked at her in surprise. Had this little princess of the empire changed her personality? When did she develop such a deep affection for Tang Wulin?

Nan Fusheng was aware of the situation, probably back in the Dragon Valley Small World. At that time, Tang Wulin was teamed up with Dai Yun'er, and their relationship seemed quite close.

"Sister." Dai Yueyan sighed softly and stood in front of Zhang Geyang. "I am willing to swear in the name of the Fourth Prince of the Empire to guarantee my sister's promise. Please, Senior Zhang."

Zhang Geyang is not only a level 98 Super Douluo, but also the head of a branch tower of the Star Luo Empire's Spirit Pagoda. In some ways, his status is no lower than that of the emperor.

Therefore, Dai Yueyan could only use his own identity as collateral, hoping the other party would give him face. If Zhang Geyang refused, there was nothing he could do.

"Hmm." Upon hearing this, Zhang Geyang frowned and subconsciously looked in Fors's direction. After receiving her nod, he then looked at the two people in front of him.

"Since His Highness the Fourth Prince and His Highness the Princess have said so, I will do my best. However, I cannot be sure what the final result will be," Zhang Geyang said calmly, and then walked into the room.

"No matter the outcome, Yun'er will always remember Senior Zhang's kindness." Dai Yun'er bowed again towards Zhang Geyang's position.

Zhang Geyang didn't reply, but calmly walked into the ward. He had just received a signal from the main body to check on Tang Wulin's condition, and his little actions with Fors were intentional.

silence!

After Zhang Geyang entered the ward, the corridor was filled with a silent atmosphere.

However, a few people secretly glanced at Fors; they had also noticed Zhang Geyang's subconscious action just now.

"She seems to have a very high status in the Spirit Pagoda, which is why Zhang Geyang subconsciously seeks her opinion."

Dai Yueyan was the one who thought about it the most among these people, after all, he was the future crown prince of the Star Luo Empire.

How could Zhang Geyang not care about Fors, who could make him subconsciously seek his opinion? After all, this could potentially affect the future cooperation between the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Pagoda.

After a long while.

The ward door opened, and Cai Yue'er, Ao Hongchen, Zhang Geyang, Enci, and a healing-type Soul Master from the Star Luo Empire walked out.

"Dean, how is Tang Wulin?" Seeing them come out, Dai Yun'er hurriedly went up to ask.

Enci shook her head and said, "Tang Wulin's situation is very special. There is an extremely large amount of golden energy in his body, which is cleansing his internal organs. If it were a normal person, he would have died long ago."

However, another power within him was sustaining his life and regulating his energies. Simultaneously, a seven-colored energy was also raging within him.

"What's raging within him seems to be his own bloodline energy. In all my years of life, I've never heard of anything like it." Enci's tone was full of sighs as he said this.

Dai Yun'er hurriedly asked, "Is there any hope for Tang Wulin?"

Zhang Geyang said from the side, "Your Highness, don't worry. Given Tang Wulin's current condition, his life should be barely spared, but..."

"It's good that you're alive."

Dai Yun'er breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the first sentence. But upon hearing Zhang Geyang's next words, her heart jumped again. "But what?"

Ao Hongchen continued, "However, the energy within his body is too complex, and his spiritual sea seems to have been stimulated in some way. Coupled with the impact of the energy, we are unsure exactly when he will awaken."

"And even if he wakes up..." Ao Hongchen looked at Cai Yue'er, signaling her to say it herself.

Cai Yue'er's expression turned somewhat grim as she said, "Even if he wakes up, with such a vast amount of complex energy within his body, it's impossible for him to cultivate. His meridians have already been thoroughly disrupted by that bloodline-like energy."

"Moreover, it's impossible to use rare and precious materials to help him before the bloodline energy in his body calms down, otherwise he might burst from the strain."

There was one more thing Cai Yue'er didn't say. That was, if the power that helped Tang Wulin regulate his bloodline had disappeared prematurely, Tang Wulin would probably be dead by now.

She had brought her students out for training, only to have them perish in the Star Luo Continent. No wonder Cai Yue'er was furious.

Especially considering Tang Wulin's exceptional talent—he's already a Level 6 blacksmith at just fifteen years old—even if he can't become a Divine Blacksmith in the future, becoming a Saint Blacksmith is still within his reach.

More importantly, Tang Wulin is very close to Shrek Academy and Tang Sect. His grandmaster is the Crimson Dragon Douluo Zhuoshi, a true successor of Shrek Academy.

"How could that be?"

Upon hearing Ao Hongchen and Cai Yue'er's words, Dai Yun'er's eyes immediately reddened. Her third brother had such great talent, how could he have ended up like this?

"Next, I will return early and send Tang Wulin back to Shrek Academy for treatment," Cai Yue'er said in a deep voice. Tang Wulin was, after all, Zhuo Shi's grand-disciple, and she could not stand by and watch him die.

With the resources of the academy and the Tang Clan, there is still a possibility of saving him.

Cai Yue'er glanced at the Shrek Academy students who seemed about to say something more, and said in a deep voice, "You guys stay here until the exchange activity is completely over. The Tang Sect has prepared a long-distance ship to go to Douluo Continent, and I will personally escort Tang Wulin."

Xie Xie, Yuan Enyehui, and Le Zhengyu exchanged glances and then said, "Elder Cai, Wu Lin is our partner. If we can't be completely sure that he's safe and sound, then even if we travel here, we'll still be thinking about him. That might actually be detrimental to our cultivation."

Ye Xinglan simply said, "Shrek Team, we'll fight to the death."

"You guys." Cai Yue'er's unpleasant expression softened considerably. She hadn't expected the bond between these children to be so deep.

Looking at them, Cai Yue'er felt as if she were seeing the scene from 20,000 years ago when the Shrek Seven Devils were first formed. Never giving up, never abandoning—this is the bond that the Shrek Academy team should have.

Even Wu Changkong was moved by this scene and couldn't help but stand up and say, "Old Cai."

"Alright, alright." Cai Yue'er waved her hand impatiently, but a grim smile appeared on her lips. "In that case, Shrek Academy will take our leave from this exchange."

Nan Fusheng watched this scene silently. Didn't anyone come to ask for his opinion? This was too arbitrary.

However, he didn't say much. In any case, he had basically achieved his purpose in coming to the Star Luo Continent. If he wanted to go to Dragon Valley later, he could simply use the portal's teleportation ability to enter. The ability to travel between stars was no joke.

"Thank you so much for your help, seniors. I will definitely visit you in person to express my gratitude later." At this moment, Dai Yun'er thanked Ao Hongchen, Zhang Geyang and the others in a generous manner.

After the trip to Dragon Valley, the little princess's personality seems to have changed a lot.

"Your Highness, there's no need for such formalities." Zhang Geyang and the others waved their hands and then left.

At this moment, Nan Fusheng glanced around and then nudged Xie Xie, asking, "Where are Gu Yue and Na'er? I don't see them."

Xie Xie shook his head and sighed, "I don't know what's wrong. After hearing about Wu Lin, those two locked themselves in their rooms and haven't come out since. Even though the captain is closest to them, now..."

……

In Gu Yue's room at the Xingluo Hotel.

Gu Yue curled up in the blankets, tears streaming down her face. "Why! I knew he was up to something, yet I still couldn't bring myself to kill him. Is this what human emotion is?!"
