Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 352 Zhu Ziyang: You are not qualified!

Inside the room, as Ma Xiaotao demonstrated her strength, Xu Jiujiu and Vina's group became much more reserved, especially the two Title Douluo.

Leaving aside the woman in red, who was merely an ordinary Douluo with average strength, the woman in blue robes could sense a strong threat emanating from Ma Xiaotao, even though she was only a newly promoted Title Douluo.

Ma Xiaotao had long been a focus of attention for all the major forces. After all, as the disciple of Yan Shaozhe, the dean of Shrek Academy, and possessing the Ultimate Fire Martial Soul, she was destined to be one of the leaders of Shrek Academy in the future. How could such a person not be of their attention?

The blue-robed woman's apprehension towards Ma Xiaotao was quite obvious. After all, she was a Title Douluo with an ultimate martial soul. Even if she was a newcomer, she could still rival a level 95 Super Douluo like herself. Moreover, Ma Xiaotao's martial soul was very effective against hers. If they really fought, she wasn't confident of winning.

After Zhu Ziyang broke the deadlock, Xu Jiujiu and Vina finally managed to smile, and they each spoke:

"Grandma Manyi!"

"Elder Mu Xing!"

Upon hearing their princess's words, the two titled Douluo readily agreed, each taking a step back and sitting down.

"Ziyang, please forgive me. Grandma Manyi is my protector. She got a little agitated just now. I'm sorry," Xu Jiujiu said apologetically.

"Hehe, it's nothing." Zhu Ziyang smiled, while the information about Manyi surfaced in his mind.

Manyi, the Nebula Douluo, is a level 93 control-type titled Douluo. Her martial soul is the Nebula Fan. She is a royal retainer of the Star Luo Empire and a veteran powerhouse with a long-established reputation.

"Ziyang, may I call you that?" Vina asked. She knew how to build rapport, and seeing how Xu Jiujiu addressed Zhu Ziyang, she followed suit.

"Of course." Zhu Ziyang's expression remained unchanged, still full of smiles, as he nodded.

"Thank you!" Vina breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "Elder Muxing was a little agitated just now. I apologize on her behalf. Please forgive her."

Upon hearing Vina's words, Elder Mu Xing, the titled Douluo in blue robes, had a slight change in expression and her lips moved, but she ultimately did not speak.

"Hehe, no need to take it so seriously, we're not petty people," Zhu Ziyang said with a smile, as the information about Elder Mu Xing also surfaced in his mind.

Mu Xing, the Snow Demon Douluo, is a level 95 Super Douluo of the Power Attack type. Her martial soul is the Snow Demon Flower. She is the Grand Elder of the Snow Demon Sect and a royal retainer of the Heavenly Soul Empire. She is also a veteran powerhouse who has been famous for a long time.

Since we've mentioned Snow Demon Douluo Mu Xing, we have to talk about the Snow Demon Sect.

The Snow Demon Sect, the national guardian sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire, has an extraordinary relationship with the Wei family of the Heavenly Soul royal family. This can be seen from the martial souls of the two sides. The Wei family's inherited martial soul is the Snow Lotus, while the Snow Demon Sect's symbolic martial soul is the Snow Demon Flower.

Snow Lotus and Snow Demon Flower are a symbiotic combination of soul beasts. Snow Lotus has powerful healing abilities and vitality, while Snow Demon Flower possesses terrifying attack power.

Since the Heavenly Soul Empire gained independence, the Snow Demon Sect has appeared on the continent, a powerful sect with considerable foundation. The Heavenly Soul Empire's seeded team for this competition is the Snow Demon Sect team, and Vina is one of its members.

However, according to the information obtained by Tianyuan Pavilion, the Snow Demon Sect is not as simple as it seems on the surface; it is very likely a front for the Body Sect.

"Thank you!" Vina said with delight.

"Haha, the misunderstanding is cleared up, that's great!" Xu Jiujiu laughed heartily and said, "So, can we get down to business now?"

"Yes, yes, let's get down to business!" Vina chimed in with a smile. "I'm really sorry for taking up so much time!"

"Heh! Not bad!" Zhu Ziyang chuckled, a contemptuous smile creeping across his face. His tone suddenly turned icy as he said, "However, this is a serious matter. Let those old fogies behind you come out. You're not qualified to sit and negotiate with me!"

"Huh?" Zhu Ziyang's words caused the smiles on Xu Jiujiu and Vina's faces to freeze instantly. The two of them looked at Zhu Ziyang stiffly, very puzzled.

This time, Nebula Douluo and Snow Demon Douluo behaved themselves without making any moves. Of course, they were very angry, but because Ma Xiaotao was present, they could no longer use their senior status to intimidate her.

However, Snow Demon Douluo Mu Xing couldn't help but speak up, saying, "Boy, aren't you going a bit too far? Even if you are the pride of Shrek Academy, our Vina is also a princess of a country. Her status is no less than yours, so why is she unworthy?"

"Hehe!" Zhu Ziyang leaned casually against the back of the sofa, picked up the tea that Ma Xiaotao had brewed for him, took a small sip, and then said softly, "Both princesses are my friends, and of course they can sit at the same table in private. However, I am speaking to you now as the head of the Tianyuan Pavilion of Shrek Academy, so you are not worthy to sit at the same table with me, understand?"

"!"

Zhu Ziyang's voice was like a thunderclap. Although it was very gentle, it made Xu Jiujiu, Vina, Nebula Douluo and Snow Demon Douluo stand up uncontrollably.

They all stared at Zhu Ziyang in disbelief, almost unable to believe their ears. But seeing Zhu Ziyang's calm demeanor and Ma Xiaotao's unfazed smile, they felt that Zhu Ziyang had not lied to them.

Yes, how could they possibly lie about something like this? This means that the power of Shrek Academy has now fallen into the hands of a twenty-year-old. Have those old guys at Shrek Academy gone mad?

Suddenly, Xu Jiujiu's body trembled, his pupils contracted sharply, and he stammered, "Could it be... Ziyang, you... you've reached the Douluo realm?"

When Mu En perished, Xu Jiujiu was also at Shrek Academy, so she knew Mu En's last words and understood what it meant for Zhu Ziyang to become the Pavilion Master of Tianyuan Pavilion. A Title Douluo at the age of twenty? No, a Title Douluo with two ultimate martial souls at the age of twenty!

"Hehe!" Zhu Ziyang didn't answer, but his expression already told Xu Jiujiu the answer.

After a long while, she swayed, but fortunately, Nebula Douluo Manyi caught her in time, otherwise she would have fallen. Her voice trembled as she said, "I understand! Grandma Manyi, let's go!"

After a long while, he turned and left the Shrek Academy team's suite without hesitation, leaving the three members of the Heavenly Soul Empire bewildered.

But Vina quickly realized what was happening. She forced a smile and said to Zhu Ziyang, "Ziyang, excuse me! We'll leave now. We'll relay your request verbatim."

Vina and the other two also left.

In the suite's living room, only Zhu Ziyang and Ma Xiaotao remained. They immediately became relaxed, with Ma Xiaotao sitting directly on Zhu Ziyang's lap and wrapping her arms around his neck.

Zhu Ziyang's eyes flashed with disdain as he sneered, "Ha! How amusing! Wanting to lead Shrek Academy? Truly ignorant and fearless!"

"Ziyang, when do you think they'll come again?" Ma Xiaotao asked, her breath sweet as orchids.

"I guess they'll come back by tonight at the latest," Zhu Ziyang said with a glint in his eyes and a light laugh.

"Are you so sure?" Ma Xiaotao's beautiful eyes sparkled with mischief as she said, "Then let's make a bet? If they don't come tonight, then I want you..."

The beautiful woman whispered something in Zhu Ziyang's ear with her red lips.

"What if they come?" Zhu Ziyang's eyes lit up as he listened to Ma Xiaotao's whisper, and then his voice became unnaturally excited as he asked.

"If they don't come, then I'll grant your request!" Ma Xiaotao blushed shyly, her gaze involuntarily falling on her chest, and answered in a very soft voice. This demeanor was a far cry from her usual domineering style.

"You'll keep your word!" Zhu Ziyang said, even more excited.

"Mmm!" Ma Xiaotao nodded shyly.

The flirting between the two did not last long, because Jiang Nannan, Qian Lingyi, and Wu Huan'er, who had gone out to explore Mingdu, returned, along with Tang Ya Beibei, Huo Yuhao, and other members of the Tang Clan.

"Zhu Ziyang, we have a big business deal to discuss!" Tang Ya shouted as soon as she entered the room, her voice so loud that everyone else couldn't help but roll their eyes.

We're in Dunhuang now, getting ready for desert camping!
