Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

Shrek City, East Gate.

It was nearly noon, but the once bustling East Gate was eerily quiet. The small vendors who sold to Shrek Academy students seemed to have vanished, and only five figures stood before the massive gatehouse.

Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er, Qian Duoduo, Cai Mei'er, the four deans of Shrek Academy, plus Fan Yu who was eager to see his two disciples, all raised their heads and gazed at the distant horizon.

An hour later, tiny, black dots appeared in the distant sky and slowly descended in front of them.

Only after being beaten do you know the pain. After experiencing the two battles between Star Luo National Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the Shrek students experienced the power of soul tools. Even the inner court disciples who hated soul tools began to accept them and learned to use flying soul tools to travel.

After the final battle, everyone at Shrek Academy was injured. However, Wang Xian'er, the number one healing-type Soul Master on the continent, stepped in and most of their injuries healed. Only Xu Sanshi still needed to be carried on a stretcher.

Jiang Nannan took care of Xu Sanshi personally during this time because he had almost risked his life for her. As a result, Xu Sanshi grinned all day long, looking quite pleased with himself.

Bei Bei and He Caitou carried Xu Sanshi's stretcher one after the other. When they saw the five elders, they were so excited that they almost threw Xu Sanshi out. Xu Sanshi was so frightened that he shouted that Bei Bei was murdering his comrade. However, no one cared about his life or death. Almost everyone's eyes were filled with excitement. Even the younger Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had tears in their eyes.

"Welcome home, children."

Yan Shaozhe and his five companions strode forward to greet the Shrek team, who had returned in triumph.

Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo, these two old rivals, were able to keep their emotions in check, but Xian Lin'er, Cai Mei'er, and Fan Yu behind them could no longer contain themselves. They rushed forward and pulled their disciples over to check if any of their body parts were intact.

Fan Yu hugged Huo Yuhao and Cai Tou tightly, hot tears streaming down her face. Next door, Xian Lin'er heard that Ning Tian's level seven energy shield had been destroyed by the Spear of Death, and immediately patted her chest, promising to make her a level eight one.

Cai Meier and Yan Shaozhe had no children, and they always treated Ma Xiaotao like their own daughter. When they discovered that Ma Xiaotao had broken through to level 70 in soul power and advanced to the ultimate fire, they couldn't suppress the smile on their lips and secretly told Ma Xiaotao a secret.

Ten years ago, Yan Shaozhe discovered a 100,000-year-old Fire Phoenix bloodline soul beast in a fire-attribute soul beast gathering place called Blazing Volcano in the Douling Empire. He originally planned to give it to Ma Xiaotao as her ninth soul ring, but now it seems that it can be given to her as her seventh soul ring ahead of schedule.

Ma Xiaotao jumped up excitedly. For a Soul Master, the most important Soul Rings are the third, seventh, and ninth Soul Rings. Having a seventh Soul Ring of 100,000 years means that her bottom line in the future is Super Douluo. A Super Douluo with the Ultimate Flame can fight against a Limit Douluo.

The eruption of evil fire unexpectedly brought her good fortune; she gained someone she liked, her evil fire phoenix improved further, and an incredibly bright future beckoned to her. Ma Xiaotao felt that she had no regrets in this life.

"Dean Yan, Dean Qian."

Shadow Dragon Douluo Xie Qin emerged from Ning Tian's shadow. He was one of the previous generation of Shrek Seven Devils, an outstanding graduate of Shrek Academy, and familiar with the two deans.

Yan Shaozhe patted Xie Qin on the shoulder and said with great emotion, "Time flies, Xie. In the blink of an eye, you've become a Title Douluo. This time, with Elder Xuan's accident, we were able to rest easy thanks to you being there in Star Luo City."

"Dean, you flatter me. I am, after all, the senior, and Xiaobai and Xiaotian are members of the Shrek Academy team. Ensuring their safety is my responsibility," Xie Qin sighed. "The Death Prison Douluo is indeed a great threat. Even a top expert like Elder Xuan, who was just one step away from becoming a Limit Douluo, fell victim to it... By the way, Dean, has Elder Xuan stabilized his cultivation?"

Yan Shaozhe shook his head: "The Soul Skills of the Death Prison Douluo are specifically designed to break through mental defenses, and Elder Xuan's weakness lies precisely in this. Despite the Sea God Pavilion's full range of methods, Elder Xuan still lost a level. After emerging from seclusion, he drank himself into a stupor every day, always saying things like he was sorry to those children. Sometimes he would even run to Le Xuan and cry bitterly..."

Alas, Elder Xuan is not what he used to be…

The two sighed with emotion, and then the four deans shook hands with the other meritorious officials and personally led them into the academy, arriving at Poseidon Lake, where a small boat was moored on the shore.

Yan Shaozhe smiled and said, "You gave your all for the academy, bravely winning the Soul Master Competition with a depleted force. This achievement will be forever recorded in the history of Shrek Academy, and your reward will be distributed in the Sea God Pavilion for the first time in history."

Everyone was greatly shocked, especially Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, who knew nothing about the Inner Court. The Sea God Pavilion was too far away for them.

"Xiao Xie, would you like to go to Poseidon Island to relive your past memories?" Yan Shaozhe invited Xie Qin to visit Poseidon Island.

Xie Qin waved his hand and said with a smile, "This is an honor for the junior students, I won't interfere. Dean, where did that kid Shi Xing go? I'd like to find him for a drink."

The fashionable and elegant Xie Qin is one of the Shrek Seven Devils. When old friends reunite, they should drink a big cup of wine.

Yan Shaozhe laughed: "Shi Xing has joined the Shrek City Defense Army. His martial soul ability is special. The academy hopes that he will break through to the Title Douluo level in two years and take over as the Shrek City Defense Officer. Go find him yourself."

"Little Bai and Little Tian, ​​with the academy teachers protecting you, I'll return to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to report to Feng Ya."

"Bye, Uncle Xie, thank you for your hard work."

The two bid farewell to Shechin, who slipped into the shadows and headed straight for the Shrek City garrison to find his old friend.

As the group ascended Seagod Island, they saw various pavilions and towers built upon it. Seeing these buildings, which were usually hidden in the mist, now in reality, the excitement in the eyes of the reserve team grew even stronger.

Inside the Sea God Pavilion council hall of the Golden Tree, the elders were already seated at the table, frequently casting admiring and encouraging glances at the Shrek team.

Yan Shaozhe bowed respectfully to Elder Mu, who was sitting on the innermost recliner, and said, "Teacher, they've returned."

"Okay, you'll host."

"Yes, teacher." Yan Shaozhe said in a deep voice, "As decided by the Sea God Pavilion meeting, I will now announce the awards. The first one is Teacher Wang Yan."

"Dean."

Wang Yan stepped forward and bowed deeply.

"Your contribution as the team leader is indispensable to Shrek Academy's continued glory in this competition. Your reward is to be promoted to a special-grade teacher at Shrek Academy. After you finish teaching this year's outer academy students, you will be assigned to the inner academy. The library will be open to you for one year."

"This...this..."

Wang Yan was flattered and speechless, his lips trembling. He felt he hadn't given much and was instead ashamed to receive such a gift.

"This is a reward you deserve. If you have no objections, you can go back and rest."

"Yes, Dean!"

Wang Yan left satisfied, and immediately Yan Shaozhe's face fell, his voice low and deep:

"Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and Ling Luochen, you three inner court disciples failed to protect yourselves and your teammates while carrying out a surveillance mission, which in turn affected the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament. You are hereby given a major demerit."

"What?"

The three of them were completely dumbfounded. We fought tooth and nail, risking our lives, and didn't get a single reward, but we were even punished!?

Yan Shaozhe, his face dark with anger, rebuked: "Do you have any objections? Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng are offensive-type Soul Masters. They faced difficulties head-on and protected their teammates. Did you do both of these things?"

Ling Luochen is the main control Soul Master. Did you provide sufficient control in eliminating the Grim Reaper's messenger? The majority of the team's losses were due to your carelessness and underestimation of the enemy!

After a barrage of harsh reprimands, all three lowered their heads and dared not refute.

"Give a stick and then a sweet treat," Yan Shaozhe said, his tone softening slightly. "Fortunately, Ling Bai and the reserve team performed exceptionally well, giving you ample time to recover."

You won the final championship. The academy remembers this achievement, but the merits and demerits cancel each other out; there will be no reward or punishment.

"Thank you, Dean." The three of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Reserve team..."

Yan Shaozhe seemed to deliberately ignore Ling Bai and jumped directly to the reserve team: "You have carried the shining glory of Shrek Academy and amazed the Sea God Pavilion. The champion of this competition will be rewarded with three soul bones, and the academy will give out four more ten-thousand-year soul bones, one for each of you."

Soul bones are undoubtedly the most precious treasures of soul masters, and the ten-thousand-year soul bone treasured by Shrek Academy is a treasure among treasures. The reserve team members celebrated with high fives, each one beaming with joy.

"Besides, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and He Caitou have already broken through to the Soul Sect level and have been exceptionally admitted to the Inner Academy without taking the exam. You don't need to go down the island tonight."

Ning Tian, ​​Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, you three stay behind for a moment. The Sea God Pavilion Master will activate a reward for you ahead of schedule.

The surprises were dazzling, but Ma Xiaotao, who was standing to the side, held back for a long time until she could no longer contain herself and spoke up angrily:

"Teacher, what about Ling Bai? He's the biggest contributor to Shrek Academy's victory!"

Ma Xiaotao has a fiery and straightforward personality and always says what she thinks. The two had just had sex and were in the midst of their passionate love, so she couldn't help but feel indignant on Ling Bai's behalf.

Yan Shaozhe said casually, "The academy has its own considerations. Ling Bai, you stay here with the other three."

"it is good."

Ling Bai nodded indifferently. He never worked hard for Shrek Academy's meager rewards, and besides, he knew exactly what Shrek Academy was like. It was perfectly normal for him to have his merits and demerits offset each other.

Seeing that things didn't seem to be going as she had thought, Ma Xiaotao's anger gradually subsided. Not far behind her, a pair of azure eyes filled with inquiry and suspicion fell on her, and the owner of the eyes fell into deep thought.

After the irrelevant people dispersed, only Ling Bai, Ning Tian, ​​Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Elder Mu on the reclining chair remained in the Sea God Pavilion's council hall.

Old Master Mu stood up and walked over, causing the three people in the outer courtyard to widen their eyes in shock. Who would have thought that the dormitory supervisor downstairs was actually the Sea God Pavilion Master, the number one person in Shrek Academy!

Wang Dong suddenly panicked, recalling how he had been so energetic since enrolling in school, and whether he had ever spoken disrespectfully to Teacher Mu.

Old Master Mu smiled slightly, raised his hand and pointed. A rich golden halo enveloped the four of them, and in an instant they arrived at a huge hall with several passageways on both sides, leading to unknown destinations.

"This is the underground of the Sea God Pavilion, with a total of 108 rooms, encompassing environments suitable for all martial spirits," Elder Mu said. "Every inner court disciple has one opportunity to come here for deep meditation. Ling Bai has never been here before, while you three outer court disciples will enter the inner court sooner or later, so it's a good time for you to do deep meditation together."

Cultivating underground under the Golden Tree is twice as effective, but coming here is not just about cultivating; you must find your own path.

Elder Mu didn't give the four a chance to ask questions, and continued, "Ning Tian, ​​go to the sixth door of the fourth passage on the left; Wang Dong, go to the second room of the first passage on the right; and Huo Yuhao, go to the end of the first passage on the right. You can return to the outer courtyard once you wake up from your meditation."

"You should go too." Old Mu glanced at Ling Bai meaningfully. "First passage on the left, ninth door."

The four of them rushed to the door, which was carved from a golden tree and seemed to be slightly ajar. It opened with a gentle push.

"Squeak—"

Ning Tian opened the door and saw the colorful gems. A noble aura belonging to a supreme treasure wafted over him. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the pinnacle of gem-type martial souls. Sensing the pure and rich noble aura, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared on its own and began to absorb the energy from the gems.

Elder Mu selected the most suitable training grounds for them: Ning Tian was the source of countless gems collected by Shrek Academy, Wang Dong possessed light attributes that were almost liquid, and behind Huo Yuhao's door hung a multitude of skulls of the Fear Demon.

Ling Bai entered the room, where countless roots hung down from the ceiling, covering the surrounding walls. These roots were all golden yellow, with a spiral golden horn hanging in the center, faintly coalescing into the phantom of a divine unicorn.

"The horn of a 100,000-year-old sacred unicorn... Shrek Academy is truly wealthy..."

Ling Bai sighed inwardly, and his entire body immediately turned into a crystal-clear gold. His soul power flowed naturally, and with the stimulation of the Golden Tree and the Sacred Unicorn, he didn't need to do anything. He immediately entered a meditative state, and light and sacred elements surged into his body.

"Ling Bai".

Just as Ling Bai was immersed in the wonderful feeling of mental clarity, a gentle voice suddenly rang in his heart.

"Elder Mu?"

"it's me."

Old Mu paused, seemingly very conflicted about whether or not he should say certain things.

Ling Bai did not ask or urge him. After a long while, Elder Mu let out a soft sigh: "I have a question for you. Would you be willing to become my last disciple?"

Don't rush to refuse. I know you are Ji Ren's personal disciple, but I don't have much time left. I'm worried about Shrek Academy and don't know who to entrust it to. Xuan Zi suffered a blow from the evil soul master Death Prison Douluo, damaging his mental state and causing him to drop to level 97. He's constantly immersed in regret. My disciples, Duo Duo and Mei Er, lack talent; Lin Er is too strong-willed; and Shao Zhe is too cunning. The future of the academy depends on the next generation.

If you agree today, I guarantee in the name of the Sea God Pavilion Master that you will be the next generation successor of the Sea God Pavilion Master. The academy will never restrict your freedom. You will still be a member of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and Ji Ren's disciple, but you will have an additional responsibility to protect Shrek Academy.

At the same time, Shrek Academy will allocate all its resources to you without reservation, providing you with at least three 100,000-year soul rings and three 100,000-year soul bones.

"Child, are you willing?"
