Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

Chapter 20 The Mighty Gorilla and the Jade Phosphorous Snake (Part 2)

Compared to the bustling atmosphere when Ling Bai first arrived, Shrek Academy's outer courtyard was exceptionally quiet at night. The new students had all finished their enrollment, and the older students, having completed a day's lessons, were all meditating in their dormitories, diligently cultivating their soul power.

Along the way, they did not encounter any trainees, only the occasional patrolling teacher.

A quarter of an hour later, the group arrived at the Sea God Lake. A layer of gentle ripples rose and fell on the surface of the lake, and the sparkling water rippled slowly. Unlike the jewel-like blue of the daytime, the Sea God Lake at night, illuminated by the Soul Guiding Lamp, gained a touch of tranquility and mystery.

Zhang Lexuan glanced at the six new students and said with a smile, "You're all inner court students, so the mere Sea God Lake shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

"Look at what Senior Sister is saying, she's underestimating us!"

The female student in the support class pouted so much that she could hang an oil bottle on her lips, and the others did the same, all complaining that Zhang Lexuan didn't treat them like inner court students.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you on the other side."

Zhang Lexuan rose into the air, and without releasing her martial soul or soul rings, she disappeared like a gentle breeze.

"Isn't Senior Sister at least a Soul Saint?"

"That's what the plant-related guy guessed."

"Perhaps it's Contra," the prettiest girl with short, turquoise hair murmured.

"Who cares what level Senior Sister's cultivation is? We'll talk about that later!"

The support-type girl took out a pink, wing-shaped soul tool, put it on her back, clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and muttered incantations:

"The peach blossoms smile sweetly beyond the fence!"

"Soul-guided propulsion system, food-type?"

Only food-type Soul Masters need to chant a Soul Incantation to use Soul Skills. Looking at this food-type girl, Ling Bai showed an interested expression. Soul Master plus food-type, a rather excellent combination.

"Second Soul Skill: Lightening Body with Qi and Small Peach!"

The food science girl gave a soft shout, and a plump, red peach appeared. She ate it in a few bites and then waved to everyone.

"Everyone, I'm going first!"

With a roar, the soul-guided thrusters unleashed two streams of pink flame, carrying her like a shooting star towards the opposite bank.

"Soul tools are so convenient. I'd like to get one to play with sometime." The plant-type boy murmured to himself as he gazed at the pink shooting star.

The next second, a green phantom flashed past him—a beautiful woman with short, emerald-green hair.

At this moment, she had released her martial spirit, and a green diamond-shaped scale appeared between her eyebrows. Her plump and alluring body seemed to become soft and boneless, and her legs merged together, transforming into a long green snake tail.

"Azure Phosphorus Serpent..."

Ling Bai recognized this martial spirit.

Before leaving, she deliberately raised an eyebrow at Ling Bai, a meaningful gesture.

"Guys, we can't let the girls fall behind!"

Not to be outdone, the plant-type boy grew a slender blue-purple vine from his palm, exuding a faint aura of life, with four soul rings—two yellow and two purple—pulsating on the vine.

Ghost Vine!

"First Soul Skill, Growth!"

The first spirit ring flashed, and the ghost vine in the boy's hand quickly extended. Some aquatic plants grew on the Sea God Lake. The ghost vine wrapped around the plants, and the boy transformed into a meteor hammer and swung it over.

"Brother Chu, you're injured. Do you need me to take you with me?"

The most robust-looking boy in the group walked over and asked Chu Qingtian a question.

"No, no need."

Chu Qingtian waved his hand in refusal: "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious. Crossing the lake is the first test our senior sister gave us. Your help will only backfire."

"it is good."

The boy trusted Chu Qingtian completely, turned to Ling Bai and extended his hand, saying, "Taixing, Martial Soul: Mighty Gorilla."

"Hello there."

Ling Bai grasped that hand; Tai Xing's palm was broad and hot, clearly indicating that he was a Soul Master with vigorous blood and energy.

Chu Qingtian laughed heartily and patted Taixing's muscular chest: "Brother Ling, Taixing was my roommate for six years in the Foreign Languages ​​Department, and also my best friend."

"Tai surname, mighty gorilla..."

Ling Bai narrowed his golden eyes slightly: "The Tang Clan has four clans with a single attribute?"

"That's all in the past."

Taixing grinned and said in a deep voice, "When the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent collided, the Tang Clan's hidden weapons were completely defeated by soul tools in that continental war, and the Tang Clan has been declining ever since. The ancestor of the Power Clan, together with the ancestors of the three clans, proposed to abandon hidden weapons and the Tang Clan transformed to develop soul tools."

The Tang Clan leader firmly believed that hidden weapons were the foundation of the Tang Clan and rejected the ancestors' proposal. The four ancestors were greatly disappointed, and after dozens of failed attempts to persuade them, they finally decided that the four clans, each belonging to a single element, would part ways with the Tang Clan.

"By the way, Brother Ling, what about what happened ten thousand years ago...?"

Chu Qingtian asked tentatively, suddenly remembering that the Spirit Hall, represented by the six-winged angels, and the Tang Clan behind the Mighty Ape were mortal enemies ten thousand years ago. He was worried that this would make Ling Bai hostile to Taixing.

If they are constantly targeted by a monster like Ling Bai, life in the inner courtyard of Taixing in the future will be miserable beyond words!

"It's all in the past."

Ling Bai said calmly and casually.

Before possessing absolute strength and a voice, Ling Bai's act of challenging the Spirit Hall's banner would only lead to his demise.

Moreover, strictly speaking, Ling Bai was merely an outsider who had transmigrated from elsewhere. He didn't even know why he had awakened the Six-Winged Angel and the Death Prison Spider Emperor. The one who truly inherited the bloodline of the Six-Winged Angel from the Spirit Hall was Ye Guyi.

"Yes, it's all in the past."

Taixing shrugged and sighed, "Tang Ya had approached me before, hoping I could rejoin the Tang Clan, but I refused. Ten thousand years ago, who could have imagined that the four single-attribute clans and the Tang Clan would become strangers again?"

The grudges and hatreds from ten thousand years ago don't need to be passed down to our generation. Anyway, after seeing Brother Chu get beaten up, I definitely don't want to be enemies with the six-winged angels...

"You little brat, are you trying to reopen old wounds?!" Chu Qingtian feigned rage.

This Taixing man had a rough but meticulous side. Taking this opportunity, Ling Bai asked, "By the way, who is that Jade Phosphorous Snake girl?"

You mean Dugu Lin?

Taixing leaned back slightly, his dark face contorted as if Dugu Lin were some kind of taboo.

"As you can see, her martial soul is the Azure Phosphorous Serpent, a descendant of the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo from ten thousand years ago. She is skilled in using poison and is unpredictable. Don't underestimate her. In the entire Shrek Academy, she is undoubtedly the number one in combat power. Even Brother Chu and I have been defeated by her Azure Phosphorous Serpent poison."

"Hey you two, we can't keep chatting like this. If we fall too far behind, we'll be too ashamed to face anyone in the inner courtyard. Let's get going!"

Chu Qingtian interrupted the two, his feet crackling with electricity. In terms of pure speed, he feared no one, and vanished in the blink of an eye.

"Brother Ling, I'm leaving too!"

With the martial spirit of the Taixing Mighty Gorilla, this guy's way of moving forward is the most violent: jumping, clenching his fist, slamming his fist into the lake surface, and using the force to move forward!

Chu Qingtian, arriving late but arriving early, soon overtook the food-type girls and caught a glimpse of the graceful figure of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, Dugu Lin.

He looked back and saw Taixing where the water column exploded, and the figure shooting out vines from his fingertips was a plant-loving boy.

Where is Ling Bairen?

Are you looking for me?

A teasing voice suddenly rang out above his head. Chu Qingtian subconsciously looked up and saw Ling Bai with angel wings spread behind him, his figure upright, a smile on his face, his long golden hair blowing backward in the howling wind, the moonlight as frost and his figure as jade.

"Angel Sparrow is so handsome..."

For the first time ever, Chu Qingtian felt that walking on water was incredibly lame!
