Chapter 318 The Current Status of the Shrek Seven Devils! [Please Subscribe! Please Vote!]

Clearly, the news of Chen Hong breaking through to level 30 was a blow to Yu Xiaogang.

In Yu Xiaogang's view, it felt as if everything he had ever been proud of had been shattered one by one in front of Chen Hong.

When his Ten Theories of Martial Soul shattered in front of Chen Hong, Yu Xiaogang did not break down.

When his own soul ring age formula became insignificant in front of Chen Hong, Yu Xiaogang could adjust himself.

When his level 29 soul power became a joke in front of Chen Hong, Yu Xiaogang chose to run away.

From all the above signs, it can be seen that no matter how much Chen Hong tormented Yu Xiaogang in the theoretical field, the mental blows he dealt to him were not as intense or painful as the news of Chen Hong's soul power level breaking through level 30.

Although a long time has passed, the nightmare of level 29 remains an everlasting shadow over Yu Xiaogang's mind.

"But you know, you're a strange person; you always manage to miss the correct answer."

Speaking of Yu Xiaogang, Chen Hong could only sigh inwardly.

If we evaluate Yu Xiaogang from a comprehensive historical perspective, we'll find that he was the opposite of Dugu Bo, living a life where the script was reversed. In his life, he missed at least two major opportunities. The first was with Bibi Dong, where the stubborn and gloomy young man was misled by a simple divisive tactic, losing the greatest opportunity of his early life. The second was with Tang San, the stubborn and gloomy middle-aged man whose irresponsible academic attitude caused Tang San, who was deceived but dared not speak out, to harbor resentment towards him, thus missing out on the greatest opportunity for immortal herbs in his later life. (The author, Tang San, is quite shrewd; in the original novel, Tang San had so many immortal herbs, yet he didn't give Yu Xiaogang a single one. Only when Tang San had more opportunities and immortal herbs became less valuable did he finally manage to scrape together a few for Yu Xiaogang.)

Now, it seems that Yu Xiaogang is missing out on the third major opportunity in his life, namely Chen Hong.

Perhaps, Gangzi's life was a life of misalignment?

Don't let your emotions control your brain. This sentence perfectly encapsulates Gangzi's misplaced life.

Of course, the fact that this is the first case of an external spiritual martial soul in Douluo Continent means that Chen Hong will not give up on Gangzi.

However, just like how Tang San in the original story only managed to scrape together some resources for Gangzi later on, Chen Hong didn't have any particular feelings about Gangzi, who was blinded by emotions and actively avoided him. In Chen Hong's mind, the priority of the research project on Gangzi was the lowest, even lower than removing the martial soul beast transformation from the two cat-eared girls who were living happily at Ninglu Medical Clinic.

"Fatty and I are training here while earning extra money. Currently, only Dai Mubai is still at the academy, assisting the teachers with teaching.

While Chen Hong was slightly distracted thinking about "Gangzi", Oscar explained the current situation of the Shrek Seven Devils to Chen Hong.

"Tang San left us a letter. His father was going to take him away to cultivate alone, and we don't know where he went."

"The City of Slaughter," Chen Hong murmured to himself. The Spirit Hall had discovered traces of a mysterious Title Douluo in the Dragon Flame Province of the Star Luo Empire. And the City of Slaughter was located in the Dragon Flame Province. Furthermore, the Spirit Hall's records of Tang Hao included information that he possessed the Killing God Domain. Therefore, it was highly likely that Tang Hao was preparing to take Tang San to the City of Slaughter.

As for why the Spirit Hall was able to discover Tang Hao's extremely well-hidden whereabouts in Dragon Flame Province, it's because a high-ranking member of the Spirit Hall had recently visited the Killing Capital of Dragon Flame Province.

After the Spirit Hall's defeat, the fox was introduced to the City of Slaughter by Bibi Dong.

"That fox is of great significance to the Technology Chamber of Commerce. If Tang San really has the protagonist's script, he should be able to help it out," Chen Hong thought to himself.

Oscar continued, "As for Xiao Wu... did Tang San interpret it in his mind as her going back to her parents' home?"

Ma Hongjun sighed, both amused and exasperated, "We've never heard of Xiao Wu having a maternal family. Of course, if..."

Ma Hongjun suddenly lowered his voice, looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, and then whispered in Chen Hong's ear, "If Xiao Wu really is going back to her parents' home, she should be going back to the Star Dou Great Forest. After all, the scene of being inexplicably chased by the Titan Giant Ape King last time is still vivid in my mind, and it also just solved the doubts that Xiao Ao and I have had for many years."

Xiao Wu has returned to the Star Dou Great Forest? Chen Hong's eyes widened slightly, a multitude of thoughts raced through his mind, but in the end he shook his head slightly.

"Now is not the time. The secrets of the Star Dou Great Forest might overturn the current state of human society. Before the time is ripe, we should not act rashly."

Oscar nodded, indicating his agreement with Ma Hongjun's point of view, and then continued, "Ning Rongrong has returned to Sword City. She doesn't seem anxious about her cultivation level. She said she's going to spend some time transforming Sword City, imitating the Soto City model, and establishing a soul-guided industrial system to radiate to the surrounding cities."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hong nodded. Sword City is very close to the Star Dou Great Forest. If Ning Rongrong were to actually establish the Soul Guidance Industrial System, all the soul beasts within the Star Dou Great Forest would suffer terribly. Perhaps then we could indirectly observe the Star Dou Great Forest's reaction.

"The last Zhu Zhuqing... Brother Chen really doesn't know?" Oscar stared at Chen Hong with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Hmm?" Chen Hong stared at Oscar with the same puzzlement.

"It seems Brother Chen really doesn't pay much attention to the development of Soto City. Zhu Zhuqing is currently a Soul Master teacher at the Technology Academy under the Technology Chamber of Commerce."

"Oh, Shrek Academy is so generous?" Chen Hong suddenly found it a bit funny.

Ma Hongjun, standing to the side, said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do. Currently, Sister Zhu Zhuqing only recognizes the Shrek Seven Devils. If the dean and the others try to force her or anything, then Zhu Zhuqing will have to drop out of school. In order to prevent the Shrek Seven Devils, who have just earned the title of 'Number One Academy,' from disbanding so quickly, Teacher Zhao and the others are turning a blind eye to Zhu Zhuqing's behavior."

Since Zhu Zhuqing discovered that she could live well without relying on Dai Mubai, she has never had any further communication or contact with Dai Mubai.

If it weren't for the pressure to survive, Zhu Zhuqing would have died long ago when Dai Mubai fled Xingluo Imperial Capital alone.

Now, with a completely new choice in her life, Zhu Zhuqing has embarked on a path that leads her further and further away from Dai Mubai.

As for the Xingluo royal family's accountability in the future?

The more Zhu Zhuqing understood Chen Hong, the more she could perceive his terrifying mobilization capabilities.

I do not believe that the Star Luo Empire has a future.
