Douro Continent

Chapter 224 Titled Douluo, Title: Poison (Part 2)

The moment he opened his eyes, the temperature in the entire Education Commission hall seemed to drop several degrees. They were dark green eyes, devoid of any life, revealing not only coldness but also a cruel and sinister aura.

Dai Mubai groaned, his whole body trembled violently, and he fell to the ground silently, motionless.

A long, azure vine shot out like lightning, wrapping around Dai Mubai's waist and forcibly pulling him back. It was none other than the Azure Vine Soul Douluo, Zhilin Sanxi, who had made his move.

"Your Highness, please don't go too far," Meng Shenji said angrily.

Prince Xuexing said calmly, "How have I gone too far? Chief Dream God Machine, don't forget, the academy belongs to the royal family. As the direct administrator, I have the authority to make personnel decisions. If you have any objections, you can complain to His Majesty. But until His Majesty removes me from my post, I am still the one in charge here."

"You—" Meng Shenji was so angry that his beard and hair stood on end, and he couldn't speak.

A flash of azure light entered Dai Mubai's body, enveloping him, and he awoke. His eyes, however, were filled with a bewildered fear.

In that brief moment, he only felt a chill run through his body, and then he knew nothing more. He had no chance to attack, let alone resist.

Prince Xuexing turned to his right. Despite his arrogant demeanor towards the three committee members and Shrek Academy members, he was surprisingly respectful to the green-haired old man beside him. "Mr. Dugu, I beg you."

The green-haired old man glanced calmly at the Shrek Academy students before him. "Prove yourselves with your strength. Come at me all at once." As he spoke, a strong green light suddenly emanated from his body, followed by rings of light rising from beneath his feet. Yet, his own body remained completely unchanged.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black. Nine spirit rings spiraled upwards, their dazzling light making the entire Education Committee hall dazzling.

The expressions of everyone at Shrek Academy changed, as did the expressions of the three education committee members. No one had expected that this seemingly unkempt green-haired old man was actually one of the most powerful experts on the continent, a Title Douluo with a soul power level of over ninety.

Not to mention the students of Shrek Academy, even three Soul Douluos above level 80 wouldn't have the confidence to fight against him. Although there's only a one-level difference in title between a Soul Douluo and a Title Douluo, their strength is worlds apart.

The higher the level, the greater the difference between levels. Although the last five spirit rings on the green-haired old man's body were all black, everyone knew that the later the spirit ring, the closer it was to 100,000 years old. His last spirit ring was conservatively estimated to be from a spirit beast that was over 70,000 years old.

The aura emanating from the green-haired elder revealed him to be a Title Douluo possessing a Beast Martial Soul. The fact that his body showed no change when he released his Martial Soul further confirmed his terrifying power. Only top-tier Soul Masters at the Title Douluo level could achieve such control over their Martial Soul.

"Your surname is Dugu, and you reek of a foul stench. If I'm not mistaken, you must be the Poison Douluo, Senior Dugu Bo, whose title is Poison." Grandmaster stepped forward, blocking the enraged Shrek Academy teachers, and spoke to the green-haired elder.

"Hahahaha." The green-haired old man chuckled maliciously. "I didn't expect anyone would still remember me. That's right, I am Dugu Bo. Now that you know my name, why don't you get lost?"

The master's expression remained calm. He even nodded seriously. "Alright, let's go. Flander, let's go." With that, he forcefully pulled Flander out with one hand.

Flander struggled free from the master's grasp, his eyes flashing with a cold light. "Little Gang. I cannot let Shrek suffer this humiliation."

The master roared, "You're not afraid of death? Do you want everyone to die with you? How can you possibly contend with a Title Douluo? If you were a Title Douluo, you could also order people to get lost, but you're not. Even if we old folks aren't afraid of death, do you want the children to follow us to destruction? The Poison Douluo is the most poisonous in the world. Do you think he only targeted you when he attacked?"

After saying this, the master turned to the three Soul Douluo instructors and said, "I'm sorry, seniors. Let's leave it at that. But we will never forget your warm hospitality. Until we meet again."

"Wait a minute." Meng Shenji's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he stared at the Poison Douluo whose body was adorned with nine rings. "Dugu Bo, let the three of us old guys experience your poison firsthand."

Tianxing Furnace Soul Douluo Bai Baoshan and Tianqing Vine Soul Douluo Zhilin arrived behind Meng Shenji. All three simultaneously unleashed powerful auras.

Meng Shenji's body instantly became illusory, transforming into a pitch-black phantom. Thick black mist rose from his feet, and eight spirit rings—two yellow, three purple, and three black—blown simultaneously.

The difference between the two can be seen from their spirit rings. Poison Douluo Dugu Bo's fifth spirit ring is already at the ten-thousand-year level, while Meng Shenji's fifth spirit ring is still at the thousand-year level.

A gleaming golden cauldron appeared in the palm of Bai Baoshan, the Soul Douluo of the Heavenly Star Furnace, adorned with seven shimmering silver stars. His soul ring, of the same quality as Meng Shenji's, shone brightly, and a solid, weighty aura permeated his entire body.

Only one Azure Vine appeared on the body of Soul Douluo Zhilin, but the color of the vine was as clear as jade, and a faint blue aura was released from his body, permeating his entire body.

At this moment, everyone on Shrek Academy's side looked grim, but no one noticed that Xiao Wu, standing at the very back, was trying her best to suppress her aura, and her face was already somewhat pale.

She had been doing this ever since Prince Xuexing and his companions entered the area. It's just that no one had noticed her until now. Her eyes had unknowingly turned red.

The standoff between the three Soul Douluos and the one Title Douluo made the atmosphere in the entire Education Committee hall extremely tense.

The auras of the three Soul Douluos protected the Shrek Academy students behind them, while Poison Douluo Dugu Bo naturally shielded Prince Xue Xing and the Fourth Prince Xue Beng from the oncoming pressure. It seemed that a great battle was about to break out.

Although Dugu Bo was incredibly powerful, he dared not be careless when facing three Soul Douluos working together, and a hint of seriousness finally appeared in his dark green eyes.

"Three education commissioners, what are you doing?" Prince Xuexing roared, his voice trembling with barely concealed anger. He was already beginning to regret his actions. After all, these three education commissioners were all level 80 or higher experts, highly valued by the Heavenly Dou Emperor. If a fight broke out and something went wrong, he was worried he wouldn't be able to handle the consequences.

"Prince Xuexing, you are going your own way. After today, the three of us will definitely go before His Majesty to submit a memorial impeaching you and let His Majesty judge the matter." Meng Shenji was truly enraged.

He had a very good impression of the Shrek Academy students, especially Tang San, who had surprised and delighted them. Now that the cooperation that would greatly benefit the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was about to fall apart, how could he not be angry?

In terms of age, even the titled Douluo Dugu Bo wasn't older than him. At this moment, the head of the Education Committee was truly enraged and no longer cared about the consequences. For him, the current situation was no longer just about the fate of the Shrek Academy students, but also about the reputation of the three Soul Douluos. Of course, Tang San's earlier stunning performance also played a significant catalytic role.

"Never mind." Flander sighed inwardly, his clenched fist slowly relaxing, his eyes, hidden behind his crystal glasses, regaining their composure. He bowed slightly to the three Soul Douluos, "I didn't expect my visit to cause such trouble for you three seniors. I am ashamed. Since the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is unwilling to keep us, how could we possibly beg? Even if we miss today, we will likely not find peace. Farewell, three seniors. I will visit you again another day."

Flander was no longer the impulsive young man he once was, and he naturally understood the principle that one cannot fight against another. Since the Snow Star Prince was already hostile to them, staying would only cause more trouble.

Although the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is excellent, it is not a place to stay for long.

The Great Soul Arena yielded considerable benefits, enough to sustain the reopening of Shrek Academy for a long time.

"Dean Flander," Meng Shenji called out anxiously.

Without turning around, Flander led the Shrek members out.

When the Shrek Seven Devils passed by the Fourth Prince Xue Beng, they clearly saw the gloating look in his eyes. Meanwhile, Prince Xue Xing held his head high, as if he couldn't see Flanders and his group at all.

The three Soul Douluos' faces flushed red and then turned pale, clearly furious to the extreme, but what could they do at this point? After all, this place belonged to the royal family of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Just then, a pretty young girl ran in from outside. "Grandpa." As soon as she entered, she rushed straight to Dugu Bo, who was standing there with nine rings shining on his body.

Dugu Bo, who had previously had a cold expression, softened upon seeing her. He reached out and pulled the girl into his arms, laughing heartily, "Yanyan, hmm, not bad, your strength has improved again."

The Shrek Seven Devils all recognized this girl; she was Dugu Yan, the control-type Soul Master from the Royal Fighting Team who had fought against them at the Soto Grand Soul Arena last time.
