Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

Chapter 21 The Phoenix of Evil Fire, A Radiant Brilliance (Part 1)

Zhang Lexuan stood on the opposite bank gazing into the distance. The night wind blew her long, ink-black hair backward, and her stunning face, illuminated by the bright moonlight, exuded a cool and otherworldly beauty.

"Whoosh—"

A beam of golden light pierced through the air and landed steadily beside her.

She turned her head, her eyes revealing no surprise as she looked at the figure beside her. Her red lips parted slightly: "Legend has it that the Six-Winged Angel is invincible in aerial combat and is known as the number one martial soul in the sky. Putting everything else aside, its speed is indeed extremely fast."

The angel's wings turned into specks of golden light and dissipated. Ling Bai chuckled and said, "It's just a legend. Senior Sister, you don't need to take it seriously."

"You're just trying to fool me."

Ling Bai smiled without saying a word, as if he had tacitly agreed with Zhang Lexuan's words.

He set off last, yet he surpassed the food-type girl's level-four soul-guided propulsion device and the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Dugu Lin, becoming the first to arrive at Seagod Island, demonstrating the incredible speed of a six-winged angel.

"Were those people following you just now from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School?" Zhang Lexuan asked, her expression full of certainty.

"Um."

This was no secret worth hiding, Ling Bai said frankly: "Among my companions who reported with me was the future heir of the sect. The sect leader was worried and sent the sect's secret guards to escort him."

Ling Bai had discovered the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's secret guards long ago. When the Fiery Bone Dragon Vulture ambushed Ning Tian, ​​he thought the secret guards would take action, but those guys actually managed to stay calm, forcing him to throw the Angelic Holy Sword from a great distance to repel the Fiery Bone Dragon Vulture.

"This will not be repeated. Outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering or leaving the academy at will."

"They will never appear again."

After a while, the other freshmen from the inner academy crossed the Sea God Lake and came to the two of them. The way they looked at Ling Bai was more and more like they were looking at a monster.

Chu Qingtian poured out his grievances to Ling Bai: "Brother Ling, it's one thing to be good at fighting, but I didn't expect you to be so fast too."

Electric Leopard's greatest strength, speed, was defeated by the Six-Winged Angel. Today, he was utterly crushed by Ling Bai.

"Wow, Ling-ge, you're amazing! You can fight and run away at the same time. I'm impressed!"

Taixing is a straightforward person, and he called Ling Ge (Brother Ling) willingly. The others smiled wryly. They were all in the same year as Ling Bai when they entered the university, and they all felt a great sense of pressure.

Taking in everyone's expressions, Zhang Lexuan said, "Now that you've discovered the gap, let's aim to catch up with Ling Bai and work twice as hard after entering the academy. Originally, I was supposed to show you around the inner courtyard to help you integrate into the environment as quickly as possible, but..."

She looked up at the sky and said regretfully, "It's too late today, so let's do it tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll find a few senior students from the Inner Court to be your one-on-one Inner Court guides. After assigning dormitories tonight, everyone can go home and get some rest, okay?"

"The eldest sister can make the decision!"

"We'll all listen to our senior sister!"

"..."

Ling Bai looked at the responses from the people around him and didn't say anything more.

Hunting soul beasts across the Star Dou Great Forest is undoubtedly a rigorous test of physical and mental strength.

In addition, after leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, the group went straight to Shrek Academy without any rest. After entering the academy, they fought with Chu Qingtian.

To be honest, Ling Bai was a little tired and just wanted to sink into a soft bed and have a good sleep until dawn.

With everyone in agreement, Zhang Lexuan continued, "The Inner Court is different from the Outer Court. There are fewer than a hundred students in the Inner Court, so instead of building dormitories, we have built individual houses on Seagod Island. There are many houses, so feel free to make any requests you may have, and I will try my best to accommodate them."

"Senior Sister, I want the one closest to the cafeteria!"

The food-major girl raised her hands, and everyone was ashamed when she said that. Goodness, she's a foodie!

"Okay," Zhang Lexuan agreed.

The food science girl clung to Zhang Lexuan's arm and said coquettishly, "Hehe, I knew Senior Sister was the best!"

Zhang Lexuan rubbed her little head and laughed, "But Pan Tao, don't be too greedy, or you'll turn into a fat peach."

"Oh no, how could that be? I'm Skinny Peach!!"

"Senior Sister, I want a house near Sea God Lake."

Dugu Lin was the second to speak. The shimmering blue waters of Poseidon Lake refreshed her, and she fell in love with it instantly.

"I want a room surrounded by lush vegetation," Ghost Vine Boy said, considering his own martial soul cultivation.

"Senior Sister, I..."

Chu Qingtian and Taixing exchanged a glance and said at the same time, "Let's live together."

"Um?"

Everyone was taken aback and took a step back. Their gazes towards the two were somewhat strange, except for Pan Tao, the food-type girl, whose eyes shone as if she had encountered some rare soul beast.

"Young people..."

Zhang Lexuan lamented that she was indeed getting old and couldn't keep up with the times.

"No, no!"

Chu Qingtian and Taixing panicked, gesturing wildly as they explained, "We were roommates in the outer courtyard, so it's perfectly normal for us to live together in the inner courtyard!"

"Ah, right, right, right!"

"Normal, normal!"

"That's perfectly normal!"

"Anyone who says it's abnormal, I'll blast them with my soul-guided cannon!"

Everyone chuckled and tacitly turned the page, leaving only Chu Qingtian and Taixing muttering under their breath: "It's perfectly normal, what are you laughing at..."

"Ling Bai, what about you?" Zhang Lexuan asked Ling Bai.

"I……"

"Why don't you live next door to me?"

Just as Ling Bai was about to speak, a captivating voice interrupted him.

Dugu Lin!

"My name is Dugu Lin, my martial soul is the Azure Phosphorous Serpent, I'm seventeen years old, and a level forty-nine control-type soul master. Ling Bai, I think we'll have a lot in common in the future, you won't reject me, will you?"

Those beautiful, emerald-green eyes held a smile, a hint of allure, and a touch of seductive charm, shimmering like mist. Her small, red lips parted slightly, inviting a kiss. She was a woman whose very being exuded captivating allure, stirring the nerves of every man.

And this woman, Dugu Lin, who resembles a beautiful serpent, is extending a pink, ambiguous invitation to Ling Bai.

Taixing poked Chu Qingtian's waist: "Holy crap, Brother Chu, is Dugu Lin confessing her feelings?"

"Be gentle!"

Chu Qingtian rolled her eyes at Taixing, annoyed. Didn't this pure strength-type Great Ape have any idea how heavy his hands were?

"Do you even need to ask?"

Chu Qingtian lowered his voice: "Dugu Lin is the second most beautiful woman in the outer courtyard after Jiang Nannan. She's usually arrogant and disdainful of men, but today she actually fell in love with Brother Ling at first sight. We Soul Masters value strength most when choosing a partner. Brother Ling is young and powerful, and he also has a face that appeals to both men and women. It makes sense that Dugu Lin fell in love with him at first sight, but..."

He paused, looked at the dumbfounded boy, and silently mourned for three seconds.

This guy's name is Zhou Sen. He fawned over Dugu Lin for six whole years, but in the end, he got nothing from being such a simp!

Faced with the sudden confession and the onlookers' eagerness to see what would happen, Ling Bai remained calm and continued with his carefully considered answer:

"Senior Sister, could you please help me find a quiet place to stay?"

"null--"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qingtian and Tai Xing were stunned, and Dugu Lin's face instantly darkened.

Dugu Lin, ranked second most beautiful among hundreds of female students in the outer academy, has an absolutely top-notch appearance and figure, and her talent is even more outstanding. The male students in the outer academy who pursue her could line up from Sea God Lake to the East Gate, but Ling Bai simply and decisively rejected them!

"Brother Ling is ruthless!"

Taixing secretly gave a thumbs up, asking himself if Dugu Lin would confess her feelings to him, he might immediately turn into Dugu Lin's personal puppy.

In stark contrast to Dugu Lin's gloomy face, Gui Teng Zhou Sen was so excited he almost jumped three feet high!

Ling Bai refused, good! Now he can lick again!

Dugu Lin brushed aside the strands of emerald green hair in front of her eyes and gritted her teeth, saying, "Man, you've successfully piqued my interest!"

Please stop your domineering CEO fiction!

Some say that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Ling Bai couldn't see a trace of affection in Dugu Lin's emerald green eyes, and he could also faintly smell that strange, sweet-smelling odor again.

Azure Phosphorus Serpent...

Poison Douluo...

Ling Bai fell into deep thought, and gradually began to have some guesses in his mind.

"Let's go, I'll take you to your respective rooms."

Zhang Lexuan broke the awkward atmosphere and led everyone away from the lakeside.

Ling Bai and the others followed behind Zhang Lexuan. Their positions after the confession were quite deliberate. Dugu Lin walked on the far left, next to Pan Tao, who was also a woman. To her right was Zhou Sen, who kept trying to comfort the goddess. The two bystanders, Taixing and Chu Qingtian, and Ling Bai, who was admiring the scenery of Poseidon Island on the far right, were also there.

"Brother Ling, you're awesome!"

Chu Qingtian followed Taixing in addressing him as Brother Ling. No wonder he couldn't beat Ling Bai; just look at his iron will!

"Don't get involved."

Ling Bai pushed Chu Qingtian away. If he guessed correctly, Dugu Lin's so-called love at first sight was not about him at all; it was all for the six-winged angel's talent!

Speechless all the way.

Zhang Lexuan was clearly good at interpersonal relationships; she was the first to help Dugu Lin find a room, completely resolving the awkward situation within the group.

Before entering the house, Dugu Lin gave Ling Bai a flirtatious wink, silently saying:

You can't escape, man!

Ling Bai pretended not to see it. To hell with all those domineering CEO novels!

Next were Pan Tao, Zhou Sen, and Chu Qingtian Taixing, leaving only Ling Bai and Zhang Lexuan in the end.

Ling Bai requested a secluded spot, so it had to be the most remote and deserted place on Poseidon Island. Zhang Lexuan naturally left him for last.

"Dugu Lin is very outstanding. Why don't you try getting to know each other and having a sweet romance?" Zhang Lexuan teased.

"I'm only eleven years old, Senior Sister."

Ling Bai covered his face. In his previous life, he hadn't even graduated from elementary school at eleven years old, so he had no interest in dating now.

"As it turns out, being too handsome and too strong isn't a good thing either..."

Ling Bai reflected deeply.

"cough!"

Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but chuckle, so she coughed lightly instead of laughing out loud, her beautiful eyes curving into pretty crescent moons.

Ling Bai glanced at her sideways; in the moonlight, her skin was like solidified jade, and her profile was exquisitely beautiful.

"Is Senior Sister in a relationship?"

"I?"

Zhang Lexuan pointed to herself, then shook her head: "No."

After saying that, she seemed to remember something and added, "But I have someone I like."

When talking about someone she likes, Zhang Lexuan's fair face blushed slightly.

"Oh?"

Ling Bai feigned surprise: "That boy must have saved the continent in his past life to be liked by Senior Sister."

"So glib at such a young age."

Zhang Lexuan gave a light scolding and said, "We've arrived at your place."

Ling Bai stared intently. The house was similar in style to the houses of the other people he had seen before—a simple bungalow. However, the environment combined the advantages of Dugu Lin and Zhou Sen. It was very close to the Sea God Lake and rich in plants, with a strong sense of life in every breath.

Ling Bai was very satisfied with it, until...

They discovered another room opposite it, a room with lights on.

The light is on, which means someone is there.

Ling Bai narrowed his eyes, and said meaningfully, "Senior Sister?"

The two rooms are no more than 20 meters apart, and you call that secluded?

Zhang Lexuan understood Ling Bai's doubts and explained, "There are only these two houses within a three-kilometer radius, which should meet your requirements, right?"

"Three kilometers..."

After thinking for a moment, Ling Bai agreed: "I choose it, thank you, Senior Sister."

Zhang Lexuan took out the key from her storage soul tool and handed it to Ling Bai, saying, "It's okay. A senior guide will show you around the inner academy tomorrow morning. We'll bring you the school uniform, school badge, and other necessary items. Get a good rest tonight."

"Okay, goodbye, Senior Sister."

"goodbye."

After watching Zhang Lexuan leave, Ling Bai closed the door, turned on the soul guide lamp, and surveyed the layout of the entire room.

The layout is almost identical to the studio apartment in my previous life, with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom.

After washing up, Ling Bai rushed to the bedroom, crawled into bed, and realized that Soul Masters could use meditation to replace sleep. When tired, sleep was far more effective than meditation in relieving fatigue, so Ling Bai chose to get a good night's sleep.

Goodnight Makka Pakka, goodnight Usidishi, goodnight Igglepiggle, goodnight Dots...

"Hey ya!!!"

"It hurts! It hurts so much!"

"Sister, please have pity on me!"

Just as Ling Bai was about to drift off to sleep and play with the Duke of Zhou's daughter, a series of howling male voices abruptly dragged him out of his reverie.

"What are you yelling about in the middle of the night?!"

Ling Bai sprang out of bed. He preferred quiet when he was alone; otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Zhang Lexuan for a secluded room. Who would have thought that so late at night...

The No.1 academy on the mainland?

That's so decadent!

Humans have seven emotions and six desires, and Soul Masters are no exception. Doing *that* is perfectly normal, and outsiders have no right to criticize. On his first day at Shrek Academy, Ling Bai didn't want to cause trouble.

Tolerate!

Ling Bai sat cross-legged on the bed, preparing to enter meditation, but the voice showed no sign of letting him go.

"It hurts! It hurts so much!"

"Sis, that's enough for today!"

"What will it take for you to let me go?"

"Please, will you let me do a forward roll for you?"

"What about a backflip?"

"..."

I'm not going to sleep!

Although she had never seen the man, Ling Bai's mind subconsciously sketched out an extremely lewd face!

"I think I understand."

Ling Bai suddenly realized that the reason this place was secluded was not for any other reason, but definitely because of that despicable couple!

Who can meditate amidst the screaming of ghosts in the middle of the night?!

The problem is, even if you're doing it, shouldn't you keep it down?

Ling Bai jumped out of bed, got dressed, and became a model citizen who neither caused trouble nor feared it!

He planned to reason with the other party.

If he can't explain the principles, he doesn't mind explaining the physics.

Upon arriving at the other party's door, the screams almost turned into a rolling wave of sound. While marveling at his brother's amazing lung capacity, Ling Bai took a deep breath and reached out to knock on the door.

"Squeak—"

This is a common way to signal that a door has been opened.

Huh? You guys don't lock the doors?

Ling Bai was greatly shocked!

"Hello, student, excuse me..."

He gently pushed open the door, and this was the scene that came into view.

The burly young man lay prone on the ground, tightly clutching a black shield!

A stunning red-haired beauty, standing on a shield, with fair skin and a hot body!

Ling Bai's words came to an abrupt halt. The awkward yet polite smile on his face vanished instantly, and he stood frozen in place, finally uttering a single word in a low voice.

"6".
