Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 220 Shrek Academy Becomes History

Ye Liangchen experienced the 100,000-year soul skills that the little rabbit had given him. One was the Invincible Golden Body, and the other was the Void Skill called Splitting Light and Shadow Slash. Once this skill was used, he himself became illusory, and his sword spirit also became transparent, just like the Cheng Ying Sword, making him invisible to others.

Ye Liangchen was very fortunate that Xiao Wu hadn't given him any charm skills; otherwise, it would have been incredibly embarrassing for a grown man like him to use them!

Xiao Wu's sacrifice to Ye Liangchen in front of Bibi Dong made Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Yu Xiaogang and others feel that something was amiss. Although Shui Lanxin apologized to Bibi Dong, everyone was puzzled by Bibi Dong's magnanimity.

"Your Holiness, the little rabbit sacrificed itself for me, so I can be considered to have stolen your 100,000-year soul ring."

"But don't worry, I have information on another 100,000-year-old soul beast. I'll give that 100,000-year-old soul beast to you, and then we'll be even."

Ye Liangchen noticed the expressions on Ning Fengzhi's and the others' faces, so he immediately pretended to promise Bibi Dong that he would help her find a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

"Why don't you join our Spirit Hall? I'll appoint you as our Holy Son, and then we won't owe each other anything." Bibi Dong played along with Ye Liangchen's act.

"Joining is impossible, absolutely impossible in this lifetime. I value freedom and dislike being controlled, so I won't join."

Ye Liangchen publicly stated that he refused to join the Spirit Hall.

"Young Master Ye, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall possesses power second only to the Pope, something countless people dream of," Gui and Ju also advised from the side.

"Fame and fortune are to me like the clouds in the sky, fleeting and easily dispersed by the wind."

"People are chasing fame and fortune, but they don't realize that these two things are like poison, making people lose themselves in them and unable to extricate themselves. It's truly pitiful."

Ye Liangchen casually stated that he was not interested in fame or fortune.

"Pfft...! I feel like Young Master Ye is showing off, but I have no proof."

Looking at Ye Liangchen's serious-sounding nonsense, everyone thought he was just a charlatan.

"You brat, you're spouting your nonsense again."

"Your Holiness, this little fellow has always loved to boast, please don't mind him."

Shui Lanxin and Shui Lanyue grabbed Ye Liangchen's ears to stop him from continuing, lest he start bragging.

"He's right, fame and fortune are indeed poisons."

Bibi Dong almost burst out laughing. What the little guy said seemed like bragging, but it contained the truth.

"Since you don't want to join the Spirit Hall, I won't force you. Besides, you have six Title Douluos by your side, and no one in this world dares to force you."

Bibi Dong saw the expressions on Ning Fengzhi's, Sword Douluo's, and the others' faces and found it quite amusing. She knew that what the two great empires feared most right now was that Ye Liangchen, this monstrous genius, would join the Spirit Hall.

"If you have information about a 100,000-year-old soul beast, then come back to the Papal Palace with me to talk."

Bibi Dong used the pretext of gathering information about 100,000-year-old soul beasts to openly invite Ye Liangchen into the Papal Palace, making unsuspecting people think that she and the little guy were just having a normal transaction.

"Your Holiness the Pope has extended such a generous invitation, so we would be impolite to refuse."

Ye Liangchen immediately called to the Tianshui Academy students, and they followed Bibi Dong into the Papal Palace openly and legitimately.

When Ye Liangchen and his group arrived at the Papal Palace with Bibi Dong, they found that Qian Daoliu and a group of Title Douluos had gathered there.

"All the seniors are here!"

Ye Liangchen greeted Qian Daoliu and his group.

"Young friend Ye's methods have truly broadened our horizons. Not only did you cripple Tang Hao, but you also made a 100,000-year-old soul beast willingly sacrifice itself for you."

"But I'm very curious, what methods did you use to cripple Tang Hao, a Super Douluo?"

Even Qian Daoliu himself wasn't sure if he could withstand Ye Liangchen's amazing attack methods.

"You flatter me, senior. I only managed to cripple Tang Hao by using a divine artifact."

"The Goddess of Life waited tens of thousands of years for me to be her successor. For my safety, she had her husband give me a super artifact to protect my life."

Ye Liangchen was spouting nonsense with a straight face to appease these old guys, since no one knew whether it was true or false.

"A divine artifact? What is it? Can I take a look?"

Qian Daoliu was stunned. He only knew about divine artifacts, such as the Angelic Divine Sword, but he had never heard of super divine artifacts.

"Great Elder, stop asking so many questions. Since it's a supreme artifact, how could it be taken out so easily?"

"Xiao Chen's plan this time was very successful. Tang Hao, the number one enemy of the Spirit Hall, is now useless. I even managed to seize two of Tang Hao's inherited soul bones."

"This is a joyous occasion. I am preparing to hold a grand celebration banquet. Elder Gui, Elder Ju, please make the arrangements for the banquet."

After Bibi Dong finished speaking, she took Ye Liangchen and his group back to her palace to settle them in and let them stay at the Papal Palace for a few more days.

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope."

Gui and Ju immediately began gathering people to prepare for the banquet.

"We don't have much to do, so let's lend a hand!"

The other titled Douluos in the Elder Hall also helped arrange the work. Everyone knew that Bibi Dong was going to host a banquet for everyone from Tianshui Academy, so it had to be a grand affair.

……

The Soul Master Competition has ended, and people from both empires have left Wuhun City.

Xue Qinghe, played by Qian Renxue, also returned to the Tiandou Empire under the escort of the guards to continue her plan to seize the country.

Fearing being discovered by Sword Douluo, Jiangmo, Qianjun, Shemao, and Citun did not travel with the main group. Instead, they disguised themselves and secretly protected Qianrenxue.

Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang, and Huo Wu sent their respective academy teachers and teammates back to the two elemental cities, while the three of them stayed in Wuhun City for the time being to wait for Ye Liangchen and see what arrangements would be made.

"The information about the 100,000-year-old soul beasts that Ye Liangchen mentioned should be the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape."

Yu Xiaogang was extremely displeased with Ye Liangchen for telling Bibi Dong about the 100,000-year-old soul beast; he was consumed by jealousy.

"Xiao Gang, forget about those things. Even if those two 100,000-year-old soul beasts are not for us, let's leave as soon as possible."

Flander advised Yu Xiaogang not to meddle in other people's business, and then called the Shrek Four Monsters to leave Wuhun City.

As for Yu Tianheng, Zhu Xiaomei, Lin Xiaofang, and Tailong, they had already left the Shrek Academy team long ago.

Tang Hao's crippling injury was a major event, and Tai Long rushed back to Tian Dou City immediately to tell his grandfather about it.

Zhu Xiaomei stayed in Wuhun City to wait for Zhu Zhuqing, and did not plan to return to the Zhu family. She would then follow Zhu Zhuqing around.

After leaving Spirit City, Shrek Academy's group encountered Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and others.

"This year's Soul Tournament is truly bizarre. The mighty Haotian Douluo was actually crippled by an unknown powerhouse. I wonder who did it?"

"Pope Bibi Dong said that the finals were a trap set for Tang Hao. I think it might be Qian Daoliu's doing. I just don't know why he didn't kill Tang Hao. And Bibi Dong then let Tang Hao escape with Tang San. It's really too bizarre."

"And that Ye Liangchen, it's unbelievable that he could make Xiao Wu willingly sacrifice herself for him."

When everyone talked about what happened in this year's finals, it felt like a dream.

"Xiao Wu sacrificed herself to Ye Liangchen, becoming the first soul ring of his sword martial soul. Bibi Dong must have told him about the cultivation method of twin martial souls."

Yu Xiaogang spoke of this through gritted teeth, feeling extremely distressed. The method for cultivating twin martial souls, which he had longed for, had been obtained so easily by others.

"Xiao Gang, you said that Bibi Dong's martial soul used to be just a spider martial soul, but this time the martial soul she showed was actually a humanoid martial soul. Obviously, she has obtained Ye Liangchen's martial soul evolution method, so it is reasonable for her to give Ye Liangchen the twin martial soul cultivation method."

Flander thought this was normal. He also knew that Yu Xiaogang was resentful because he couldn't obtain the cultivation method for twin martial souls.

"Twin martial souls. The first martial soul's soul ring combination is already so heaven-defying, and the second martial soul is at least 100,000 years old. That guy truly deserves to be the most monstrous genius."

Everyone believed that Ye Liangchen was destined to stand at the pinnacle of this world in the future.

"Little monsters, now that you have completed your studies, it is time for you to graduate. I hope you can all forge your own paths in life."

"Sect Leader Ning, please take Rongrong back!"

Flander delivered his graduation speech directly to the Shrek Four Monsters, and then handed Ning Rongrong over to Ning Fengzhi.

"Thank you, Dean Flander, for taking care of Rongrong."

Although the Shrek Academy team has a bad reputation, that was caused by Yu Xiaogang and Tang San. Ning Fengzhi still respects Flander.

"Dean,..."

"teacher,…"

Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Ma Hongjun looked at Flander's somewhat lonely figure and felt a pang of sadness. They wanted to say something, but couldn't bring themselves to say it.

"Alright, all good things must come to an end. It's time for you to move on with your lives."

Flander waved goodbye to the group, then left with Yu Xiaogang, who looked unwell.

Flander is getting old and has lost his drive. If the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy doesn't mind him, he might as well just stay at the academy and freeload.

"Teacher, I'm only in class 38. I haven't met the graduation requirements for Shrek Academy yet!"

Ma Hongjun caught up with Flander and refused to leave.

This guy hasn't broken through to the Soul Master level yet, and he feels he won't make a name for himself on the continent, so it's better for him to stay by his teacher's side.

"Hongjun, come back to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy with me first, and we'll see how things go."

Flander had no solution to the problem of the evil fire caused by Ma Hongjun's martial soul.

"Would you two be interested in visiting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

Ning Fengzhi looked at Dai Mubai and Oscar and thought they were quite capable, so he wanted to invite them to join his sect.

Ning Fengzhi had no interest in that lecherous guy, Fatty Ma. If he were to enter the sect, the female disciples would suffer if he got carried away with his lust.

"Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master Ning. I've been away from the Star Luo Empire for so long, I'll go home and visit first." As a prince of the Star Luo Kingdom, Dai Mubai naturally couldn't join another sect.

Ning Fengzhi's rejection of Dai Mubai was expected, so he had no choice but to turn his attention to Oscar.

"Oscar, what about you?"

Ning Fengzhi didn't think highly of this guy who liked his daughter. Both of them were support-type Soul Masters and could never be together. But this guy was, after all, a genius food-type Soul Master, and he didn't want to miss out on such a genius.

"Oscar, come back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with us!"

Ning Rongrong then spoke up, inviting Oscar to join the sect, which could be considered as recruiting talent for the sect.

"Thank you, Sect Master Ning. I am willing to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Oscar immediately joined after receiving Ning Rongrong's invitation.

For the past two years, Ning Rongrong has neither rejected nor responded to his pursuit, keeping him hanging on, leaving Oscar feeling uncertain and anxious. Now that Ning Rongrong has personally invited him, Oscar feels that his spring has arrived, but this is only wishful thinking on his part.

"Goodbye, Boss Dai."

Oscar waved to Dai Mubai, in a very pleasant mood.

Goodbye!

Dai Mubai really wanted to invite Oscar to help him, since the two had a pretty good relationship, but he wasn't confident he could beat Davis, and he was too embarrassed to invite his friends.

"I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to see everyone again?"

Dai Mubai watched Oscar and Ning Rongrong walk away, sighed, and then headed towards Xingluo Kingdom.

His fiancée, Zhu Zhuqing, did not return to the Star Luo Empire. Zhu Xiaomei left immediately after the finals. Dai Mubai was unsure of his family's and Zhu family's attitudes, so he went back to check first.

Of the Shrek Six Monsters, Xiao Wu sacrificed herself to die, Tang San was taken away by the crippled Tang Hao and his whereabouts are unknown, Oscar joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Ma Hongjun has not yet graduated.

This team failed to win the Soul Master Competition. Instead, because of Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, their reputation was completely ruined, which disheartened Flander. Shrek Academy will eventually disappear from history.

……

At the foot of a cliff on the outskirts of Wuhun City, Tang Hao and Tang San, after being unconscious for several hours, finally slowly woke up.

"Pfft...!"

After Tang Hao woke up, he coughed up another mouthful of blood.

At this moment, his whole body felt as if it had fallen apart, and he was in excruciating pain. The loss of his right arm and left leg had greatly diminished his strength and made it even more difficult for him to move around. It was truly a matter of life and death.

"dad…"

Seeing that his father was vomiting blood again, Tang San disregarded his own injuries and immediately crawled over to check on Tang Hao's injuries.

"boom…"

Upon examining Tang Hao, Tang San was immediately shocked by the extent of his injuries, his mind reeling as if it had exploded.

"Dad, how did you get such severe internal injuries?"

At this moment, Tang San discovered that his father's meridians were all disordered and covered in blood stasis. In addition, he had lost his right arm and left leg and was losing too much blood. If he did not receive treatment, he would die at any time.

"Buzzing..."

Tang San immediately sat cross-legged behind Tang Hao, activated his Mysterious Heaven Skill, and channeled his soul power into Tang Hao's body to heal him.

"Don't waste your time, mistress. This is an old injury that I've had for years; it can't be cured."

"Let's leave here first and take you back to Haotian Sect. I'm crippled now and can't help you anymore."

Tang Hao was utterly despondent at this moment, so he advised Tang San not to heal him anymore. He wanted to take advantage of his remaining breath to send Tang San back to the Clear Sky Sect and ask his brother Tang Xiao to raise his son. As for himself, he would atone for his sins by dying at his father's grave.

"Dad, don't speak yet, let me heal your wounds first."

"If your injuries aren't treated soon, you might die. You're my only family member in this world, and if you die, I won't live either."

Tang San dared not let Tang Hao make any rash moves now, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Tang San had cultivated the Xuan Tian Gong of the Tang Sect, so he was confident that he could heal his father's internal injuries.

"Pfft..."

An hour later, Tang San's treatment took effect. Tang Hao coughed up a few mouthfuls of stagnant blood and immediately felt much better.

"Young mistress, what kind of cultivation method are you using?"

Tang Hao felt that the flow of soul power that Tang San had channeled into his body made him feel very comfortable, so he asked out of curiosity.

"Dad, this is the method of soul power circulation that I've figured out over the years."

Tang San finished his practice but did not tell Tang Hao about the Mysterious Heaven Skill, nor did he dare to tell Tang Hao, otherwise his fact that he was a reincarnated person from another world would be exposed.

Tang San is a sect slave who values ​​everything about the Tang Sect more than his own life. He would never reveal the Tang Sect's techniques to anyone, not even his father in this world.

"I see."

Tang Hao saw that his son wasn't telling the truth, so he didn't bother to ask anymore. He thought to himself: Oh well, no matter what, this kid is still his son.

"Dad, Xiao Wu..." Tang San was in great pain because he couldn't save Xiao Wu.

"Xiao San, Xiao Wu is a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form. If she falls into the hands of the Spirit Hall, there is absolutely no way she can survive."

"It was my carelessness. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have let her come to the Spirit Hall."

Tang Hao was filled with regret at this moment, as a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone had slipped through his fingers.

"Dad, who hurt you? I didn't see anyone make a move."

Tang San was furious, his face was gloomy, and wisps of black energy rose from his head, making him look like a man-eating demon.

"I don't know. I didn't sense any soul power. I only heard two explosions, and then my hands and feet were broken. Bibi Dong also stole the two inherited soul bones from my sect."

Tang Hao wasn't concerned about losing his hands and feet; the real issue was that Bibi Dong had stolen the two inherited soul bones from his sect, making him even more ashamed to face the sect.

"Dad, do you think it could be that guy Ye Liangchen who did it? I have a feeling that he's the one targeting you this time."

"The Tianshui team didn't even take the Spirit Bone reward from the Spirit Hall this time, which is very likely a plan jointly devised by Ye Liangchen and Bibi Dong against us."

After defeating the Shrek Academy team, Ye Liangchen immediately made an excuse to go to the toilet, which Tang San found unbelievable.

"If that's the case, then it means the powerful person behind him is terrifying."

After Tang San's reminder, Tang Hao felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that Ye Liangchen was even more terrifying than the Spirit Hall.

"Dad, I will definitely avenge you."

"I also want to destroy the Spirit Hall and avenge Xiao Wu."

Tang San swore in his heart: Whether it was Ye Liangchen or the Spirit Hall, they had long ago devised a way to die. If he didn't destroy them in this life, his whole family would die, and his teacher would die.

"Little San, let's talk about revenge when we have the strength," Tang Hao comforted Tang San, telling him not to be impatient, or he would be courting death.

"Let's leave first. This is Spirit Hall territory; it's not safe here."

"Click..."

After Tang Hao finished speaking, he got up, cut a stick to use as a walking stick, and then led Tang San towards the Heaven Dou Empire. The two dared not take the main roads, fearing they would be discovered by the Spirit Hall, and could only travel through the desolate mountains and wilderness.
