Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

At night, a crescent moon hangs high in the sky, and a light mist hangs over Poseidon Lake, making Poseidon Island look like a fairyland.

In the tranquil night, two figures broke through the mist, crossed Poseidon Lake, landed on Poseidon Island, and walked together toward their dwelling.

Ma Xiaotao stretched and relaxed her aching muscles, then complained to Ling Bai beside her:

"Being the dean of students is no job for an inhuman. It's all just a bunch of trivial and messy things. Today, Director Du asked the teachers for an indefinite leave to prepare for his seclusion to break through to the Title Douluo level. The teachers usually don't care about the outer academy, so the outer academy will all fall on my shoulders from now on."

"Take it easy, don't go too far."

Ling Bai offered a word of advice: the affairs of the outer courtyard are numerous and complicated, and with Ma Xiaotao's fiery temper, it is truly not an easy task for her to sit still. This is also how Elder Mu is training her character.

If she has a fiery temper and causes a scene, she may not be able to successfully enter the Sea God Pavilion three years later.

"Don't worry, I know."

Ma Xiaotao raised her snow-white chin slightly: "My status speaks for itself, and not many people dare to contradict me."

I warned those teachers from the foreign language department that they were not allowed to expel students on their own and that education should be the primary focus. They all seemed to be quite obedient, thanks in part to you and Director Du for transferring that toughest nut to crack ahead of time.

"You mean Zhou Yi?" Ling Bai remembered. "She worked in logistics at the Soul Guidance Department for more than two years. It seems she has the idea of ​​becoming a teacher in the Soul Guidance Department, but Dean Xian has always disagreed. Even Fan Yu's personal pleading couldn't change her mind."

Ma Xiaotao sneered: "Dean Xian is right. Those teachers in the Martial Soul Department were actually influenced by Zhou Yi. After all, the threat of being expelled at any time does make students tense and train harder, but this is not a long-term solution. Shrek Academy needs its reputation."

"Yes, it's good that you know what I mean."

"Are you free lately? If you are, come to the Foreign Languages ​​Department and help me with some of the work."

"Oh, that must be incredibly busy."

"...Don't go to bed tonight!"

The two chatted and laughed as they walked toward Ma Xiaotao's wooden house. Just as they could see the outline of the house, a low sobbing sound reached their ears.

"It sounds like someone is crying?"

"Don't you live here alone?"

Their focus was completely different. When their eyes met, Ling Bai and Ma Xiaotao both saw a lot of doubt in each other's eyes.

In the past, due to Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Evil Fire, she was the only person living within a three-kilometer radius. It wasn't until Ling Bai enrolled and asked for a secluded wooden house that Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan led him there. Later, Ling Bai moved to the Golden Tree, and Ma Xiaotao once again became a solitary figure.

The sudden crying caught them off guard.

"I'm going back to take a shower. Get her out of here and don't let her crying ruin our evening."

"it is good."

"Go quickly and come back soon, I'll be waiting for you."

Ma Xiaotao tossed her fiery red hair, the ends brushing against Ling Bai's nose, leaving a pleasant, delicate fragrance.

A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Ling Bai followed the sound of crying and went through a forest. Not far away, by the Sea God Lake, a girl with long wine-red hair was hugging her knees and crying. Crystal tears, like pearls falling from a string, kept welling up from the corners of her eyes.

The girl had a great figure; her short hot pants revealed her perfectly shaped, fair, and long legs. Her beautiful face was glistening with tears, and her tearful appearance was pitiful. Her crying was extremely sorrowful, indicating that she had definitely suffered a great injustice.

"That damn Shrek Academy, that damn Dugu Lin, that damn cafeteria worker, that damn fatso..."

While crying, the girl kept muttering to herself, and then a clear, slightly amused voice rang in her ears.

"Til your head up a little higher, a little to the left. Stop, keep this angle, this is the best angle to cry from."

The moment the girl looked up at Ling Bai, her sadness seemed to break free. Ling Bai saw tiny stars in her eyes, but they quickly vanished, replaced by an even greater sadness.

"What are you doing here!"

The girl cried harder and harder, like a raging river that could not be stopped. Ling Bai walked up to her, squatted down, and smiled:

"Voice, control your voice, your crying is too loud, tighten it a little."

The crying stopped abruptly. The girl, her eyes red, stared blankly at the handsome face so close to hers, and said cautiously:

"You have to hold your tears up when you cry? Are you asking for that much?"

"No, no, I was just joking with you."

Ling Bai's long hair danced wildly in the wind, her golden eyes clear and bright. She said, "Miss Meng Hongchen, why are you crying in such a remote place so late at night instead of cultivating or sleeping?"

Meng Hongchen sobbed, "It's all because Shrek Academy has gone too far!"

She wore exquisite makeup, with light red eyeshadow applied to the corners of her delicate eyes, making her already beautiful eyes even more alluring and evoking a protective instinct.

"You mean the exchange student assessment competition?"

Ling Bai was curious. After ten consecutive losses, Xiao Hongchen's words were encouraging enough. Meng Hongchen shouldn't be so fragile.

"So what if I lose once? I'll get my revenge!"

Meng Hongchen first refuted, then pouted and revealed the truth: "There was only one serving of earthworm tendon left in the cafeteria tonight. I arrived at the window at the same time as a fat guy, but the cafeteria uncle insisted that the fat guy's stomach had arrived before mine!"

I'm totally overwhelmed!!!

Ling Bai looked at Meng Hongchen's gritted teeth, then looked up at the stars and the moon, wishing he could recall all the sad things in his life.

I wanted to say something to comfort her, but I was afraid that I would burst out laughing and cause her further psychological trauma.

Everyone has different concerns. The pampered young lady, who was cherished by her grandfather and brother since childhood, couldn't even have a satisfying dinner in a foreign country. The earthworm tendon was like the last straw that broke Meng Hongchen's psychological defenses.

"Shrek Academy is bullying people. I don't believe that out of dozens of students in the inner academy, I would run into Dugu Lin, who is also poisonous and whose poison is even stronger than mine!"

The room they arranged was so far from my brother's. To get to the shabby cafeteria, I had to cross the entire Poseidon Island and run into that fat bastard named Xie Huanyue!

I just wanted to cry secretly for a while, and then I'd try harder, but you saw me again! I'm so embarrassed!!!

After complaining for a while, Meng Hongchen bulged her big, teary eyes, clasped her hands together, and pleaded, "Please don't tell my brother, okay? He's the exchange student team leader. He's under the most pressure because we've lost ten in a row. I don't want him to worry about me."

"Okay, this is a secret between us." Ling Bai nodded gently.

"I'm done crying. I'll go back and meditate. Tomorrow I'll challenge Dugu Lin again... No, wait, I need to beat up that fat bastard first!"

Meng Hongchen got up, patted the sand off her pants, and instantly became full of energy. The hatred of having food stolen was irreconcilable. At this moment, in her heart, Xie Huanyue was even more hateful than Dugu Lin!

After encouraging herself, Meng Hongchen looked at Ling Bai, puzzled:

"This place seems pretty remote; there are only two wooden houses within a three-kilometer radius. Are you staying next door to me?"

"Good question..."

Ling Bai understood; Meng Hongchen's room was his old one, and she was Ma Xiaotao's new neighbor. Since Ning Tian went to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, there was no one at Shrek Academy with whom he needed to deliberately hide his identity, so he and Ma Xiaotao simply traveled together openly.

Tell Meng Hongchen it's nothing; the two women live so close, she'll find out the truth sooner or later.

"I live in Golden Tree, and your neighbor is...."

However, as soon as Ling Bai spoke, Meng Hongchen's eyes lit up:

"I understand, you came here specifically to visit me! I knew Ling Bai, you're a good person, different from those Shrek students. I'm determined to follow you!"

"what?"

Ling Bai fell into deep thought. This thought process was rather peculiar, and he needed to analyze it carefully.

"I'm leaving now. I'll bring you a lovingly prepared breakfast at Golden Tree tomorrow morning!"

Meng Hongchen waved her hands and skipped away. Ling Bai waited for a while, and when he felt that she had almost finished meditating, he pushed open the door to Ma Xiaotao's house.

At this moment, Meng Hongchen took out a small notebook and checked the first item.

"I was just going to have a good cry, but I was pleasantly surprised."

The first step of the strategy has been successful. She is innocent, vulnerable, beautiful, has a great figure, and isn't very smart. Every man would love this type!

Do you really think I don't know who my neighbor is?

"Hmph, so Ma Xiaotao beat me to it. Dugu Lin is just as eager to please as I am..."

……

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Inside the sealed room, several figures lay sprawled about, their grotesque claw marks nearly tearing apart the solid wall made of mixed metal, the marks shimmering with a dark golden light.

"No...no, we'll never do it again!"

The man shrank back, his arm protected by a level-three paralysis ray, but he dared not fire it at all in the face of the approaching crimson figure.

"Bang—"

Wu Feng knocked the man unconscious with a single punch. Her long, crimson hair was tied into a high ponytail. She curled her lip and said, "Begging for mercy now? Where were you before?"

On the other side, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda floated in Ning Tian's palm. A woman in her early twenties, wearing the uniform of a sixth-year student from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, knelt on the ground, her hands charred black by the red dragon flames.

"I'm sorry, Senior Liu Yao, Xiao Feng went a bit too far. I apologize on her behalf," Ning Tian said softly. "But you're something else too. We just enrolled, and you're already coming to extort us. Did you find out we're from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

Liu Yao said resentfully, "Ning Tian, ​​we've really messed up this time. Just you wait!"

Ning Tian's smile remained perfect: "Your family is in Sunrise City. Your parents died in an accident five years ago. You have a six-year-old sister who attends the Sunrise Junior Soul Master Academy."

"How did you know? What are you trying to do!" Liu Yao was terrified. She thought she could bully the weak, but who would have thought that Ning Tian would have the ability to find out about her background!

"What ideas could I possibly have? Didn't you come up with them first, senior?"

"I'm sorry, Junior Sister Ning, I promise it won't happen again." Liu Yao lowered her head tremblingly, signifying her submission to Ning Tian.

"Do me a favor, but I'll let it go today."

"you say……"

"Your talent as a Soul Master isn't high. A Level 4 Soul Master in their twenties can't even get into Mingde Hall. For an ordinary student like you, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has plenty. Aside from the daily quota, they won't give you any more resources."

You can't even afford some rare metals, so you can't make any valuable soul tools to sell. Your sister has good talent in soul tools, but the cost of her schooling is also huge. So you gathered a group of good-for-nothings like yourself and set your sights on us exchange students from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Of course, none of that matters anymore. I've heard that there's a smuggling operation within the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, so audacious as to sell soul tools manufactured by Mingde Hall to the outside world. Could you please introduce me to one of them...?

Before arriving at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Ning Tian had learned about this smuggling operation from his aunt Ning Fengyu. However, the source of this operation was within the Mingde Hall, and all its members were teachers and students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Linglong Pavilion's reach doesn't extend that far. Normally, they only smuggle rare metals and Sun Moon Soul Tools not produced by Mingde Hall. Now that Jianmu Douluo and Ling Bai have respectively secured the sect's present and future, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is gradually trying to get involved in this secret line. The best option is to go through Ning Tian, ​​a student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy who is absolutely trustworthy.

"You are a citizen of the Heavenly Soul Empire, this is asking me to betray my country..." Liu Yao shook her head repeatedly.

"I'll give you this amount, enough for you and your sister to be wealthy for life." Ning Tian was too lazy to argue, and held up two slender fingers.

"Two million..."

Liu Yao swallowed hard. Some level-eight soul tools cost less than one million, and two million gold soul coins were a number she could only dream of.

Her morality is characterized by subjective initiative.

Ning Tian's Gold Soul Coins exhibit objective regularity.

To properly exert subjective initiative, it is essential to adhere to objective laws.

Liu Yao nodded hurriedly; she couldn't refuse money just because of morality!

She gave so much.

"I'll contact them. Wait for my news."

Liu Yao felt full of energy, got up, opened the door and ran into the distance, forgetting about her unconscious underlings.

Ning Tian and Wu Feng exchanged a smile and left the blood-soaked room.

Wu Feng wiped the blood from his fist and sighed, "The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's targeting came really fast. You've never made a move at Sun Moon, yet Liu Yao and her group have found out about our identities."

I heard that a fight broke out on Huo Yuhao's side as well, and a member of the royal family suffered mental trauma and is still in a coma.

Ning Tian calmly said, "It's just xenophobia and bullying of newcomers. If they were really polite to us, I would be suspicious. I believe that the Sun and Moon exchange students will definitely be treated equally at Shrek Academy. Given Dean Yan's personality, I don't know how he will treat them."

"Didn't you give Liu Yao a bit too much just now? Two million! That's enough for me to save for two years!" Wu Feng thought Ning Tian was too generous.

"Having more will allow her to do her job wholeheartedly. This hidden thread deep within Mingde Hall is extremely important to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Controlling it means controlling a continuous stream of high-level soul tools and the enormous wealth brought by smuggling," Ning Tian said.

My mother's intention is for the sect to get a share of the profits, and the two Soul Guidance Guard Corps that were secretly established also need to be equipped with Soul Guidance Devices. My aunt and Linglong Pavilion will fully cooperate with my actions. The information about Liu Yao was also found out by my aunt, who believes that someone with obvious weaknesses like her would be a good breakthrough point.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School doesn't lack money, it lacks talent. I want to bring back some genius soul masters from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. If possible, I would like to invite a level nine soul master to join the sect..."
