Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

Chapter 67 Duvilen's Dilemma: One Against a Hundred

Evening, Shrek City East Gate.

"Young Master Ling, please inspect the goods."

The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School's secret guards presented Ling Bai with a starlight sapphire ring, which was filled with various rare and precious materials to assist Ling Bai and Ning Tianwu Feng's cultivation over the next three months.

Ling Bai probed the starlight sapphire with his spiritual power and counted the items according to the list:

"Two 7th grade ginseng kings, hmm, it seems like Wu Feng doesn't get any."

Ten-thousand-year-old deep-sea demon whale glue, ten-thousand-year-old demon soul great white shark oil, ten-thousand-year-old seven-treasure exquisite fruit, bright dragon marrow, blazing armor earth dragon tendon, nine-colored stone, bright soul pill, beauty pill...

The variety and quantity are fine, thank you for your hard work.

All the rare and precious materials were transferred into his own storage soul tool, and Ling Bai returned the Starlight Sapphire Ring to the Dark Guard.

"Your subordinate takes his leave."

The guard bowed respectfully and quickly disappeared in the shadows.

After obtaining the items, Ling Bai did not return to Seagod Island, but instead waited for Ning Tian to finish his class at the foot of the outer academy's Soul Guidance Department teaching building.

About two hours later, as night fell and Shrek Academy was enveloped in darkness, Ning Tian slowly walked out of the teaching building.

Ning Tian instantly locked onto Ling Bai from afar and jogged over in a few quick steps.

"Brother Bai, why aren't you going back to the inner courtyard to rest?"

Her tone carried a hint of reproach, but the girl's heart was filled with warmth. The feeling of having someone she admired always holding her dear was intoxicating.

"I'm afraid you won't be used to it on the first day."

Ling Bai reached out and helped Ning Tian tuck her long, platinum-gold hair, which had been ruffled by the evening breeze, behind her ear. After a whole day of hard work studying soul tools, the girl's pretty face inevitably showed a trace of fatigue, but her excitement and thirst for knowledge had not disappeared in the slightest.

"Brother Bai, don't worry, the teacher is very gentle with me and explains things in a simple and easy-to-understand way. I benefited a lot today, and I even regret not learning about soul tools sooner!"

Ning Tian put his arm around Ling Bai's and headed towards the outer courtyard cafeteria, whispering, "The only flaw of the teacher is that he knows about our relationship and even told me that you don't seem like a devoted and good man like Dean Qian."

A devoted and good man?

Lick the dog!

Ling Bai suddenly couldn't figure out what Xian Lin'er meant!

You're saying I don't seem like a simp?

Ning Tian continued, "My teacher decided to give me the treatment of a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department ahead of schedule. After completing the Martial Soul Department courses every day, I will come to the Soul Guidance Department to study Soul Guidance Devices with her for two hours."

"Then you have quite a heavy task ahead of you," Ling Bai said.

"Cultivating both martial spirit and soul tool is the path I chose myself, and I will finish it even if I have to crawl on my knees!"

Ning Tian clenched her small fists, and a spark suddenly ignited in her beautiful blue eyes.

Shame inspires courage!

This humiliation will only happen once in my life!

"By the way, Brother Bai, did you get the stuff?"

"Um."

Ling Bai nodded slightly: "I was just about to discuss this with you. The sect leader gave us two ten-thousand-year-old grade seven ginseng kings. You can give one to Dean Xian when you have the chance in a while. Director Du has helped us so much. We can give the other one to him in his office after your classes tomorrow morning. What do you think?"

"good!"

Ning Tian had no objection and considered it a matter of course.

No matter what world you live in, gift-giving is one of the secrets to interpersonal relationships. No matter how eloquent your words are, they are just illusions. Only real benefits can make people willing to do their best to help you.

"Take out a portion of the remaining items to attract geniuses from other academies. Remember not to make them too valuable, lest they become arrogant and haughty."

As for the others, such as the homeroom teacher, Mu Jin, you can decide for yourself.

Ling Bai carefully instructed Ning Tian, ​​who listened attentively while nodding repeatedly, his eyes sparkling like a puppy's, as if he were about to take out a notebook and write down every word.

Not only Ning Tian, ​​but Ling Bai also gave his friends in the inner courtyard a few rare but not very expensive gifts. Han Ruoruo, Zhang Lexuan, Qian Fufu, Dugu Lin, Chu Qingtian and others all received one.

It was getting late, so the two had dinner together, selected rare and precious herbs, and then went back to their dormitories to rest.

……

The next day, noon.

Ling Bai and Ning Tian had arranged to go to Du Weilun's office. As soon as they arrived at the door, they found it wide open, and a heated conversation broke out inside.

"Zhou Yi, what brings you here?"

Du Weilun glanced at Zhou Yi, who looked like an old lady, her face clearly showing her annoyance and helplessness.

He was annoyed because Zhou Yi always caused him trouble, frequently verbally abusing and expelling students, resulting in a flood of complaint letters every year.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yi's husband is Fan Yu, an eighth-level Soul Master. In the Soul Guidance Department, his status is second only to the two titled Douluo Deans, Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo. With Fan Yu protecting him, Du Weilun has no way to deal with Zhou Yi.

Both his tone and expression clearly indicated that Du Weilin intended to dismiss him, but Zhou Yi remained unmoved, directly addressing the core issue:

"Director Du, the new students have officially become Shrek Academy's first-year students after the assessment. They should have worked harder to cultivate their soul power, but that's not the case!"

Arrogance, impatience, complacency… almost all the students exhibited these traits. I believe that if this continues, it will be extremely detrimental to both teaching and student development!

"Having just passed the new student assessment, it's normal for the students to be young and impetuous. You don't need to overreact. Just offer them a few words of comfort and wait a few days," Du Weilun suggested.

"You're wrong, Director Du!"

Zhou Yi flatly rejected the idea, stating firmly, "Students must obey all arrangements made by their teachers and always remain humble and motivated. In my opinion, unruly students like Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Wu Feng, and Huang Chutian should all be expelled to uphold the spirit of Shrek Academy!"

Dude, are you freaking crazy?!

Du Weiren choked on a mouthful of blood. He could tolerate firing others, but the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, the Star Luo Netherworld lineage, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School...

If you keep doing this, you'll offend all the major powers sooner or later. How will Shrek Academy recruit students then?

Let's just disband here!

Unfazed by Du Weilin's furious glare, Zhou Yi shouted:

"Director Du, since the college chose me to be a class advisor, I will definitely teach according to my principles. Now I need to crack down on the students' unhealthy practices! You have one day to come up with a solution, otherwise I will take matters into my own hands!"

After saying that, Zhou Yi turned and strode away. Clearly, she wasn't discussing it with Du Weilun, but rather informing him directly!

When Zhou Yi walked out of the director's office, she was arrogant and didn't even spare a glance for Ling Bainingtian at the door. Immediately afterward, the sound of porcelain breaking echoed from inside the room.

Ling Bai and Ning Tian exchanged a few words with their eyes and decided to step into the director's office. Du Weilin, who looked like a lion with its mane bristling, immediately came into view.

Du Weiren was truly furious. Exquisite porcelain ornaments on the table were scattered everywhere, with shards strewn all over the place, leaving almost no room to step in the office.

Ling Bai swept his soul power, and the debris was instantly purified by the holy aura of the six-winged angel. Ning Tian opened a small box, revealing rolls of lush green leaves, and said with a smile, "Uncle Du, this is Tianxiang Xuecui from the far north. It's the best for refreshing the mind, calming the nerves, and reducing internal heat."

"I'm sorry to have made you two children laugh at me."

Du Weiren picked up a roll of Tianxiang Xuecui and put it in his mouth. The icy coolness filled his mouth and rushed straight to his mind. The boiling anger was extinguished by the coolness from the far north, and he regained his composure.

"Xiao Tian should know that woman, right?"

"Yes, the homeroom teacher of Class One is Ms. Zhou Yi."

"Zhou Yi is really outrageous!"

Du Weilun took a deep breath and poured out his grievances to the two of them: "I've put up with her for a long time. Relying on Fan Yu's protection, she does whatever she wants. On the first day of freshman enrollment, she expelled a total of nine people, and the reason was that she was lazy in running!?"

Sometimes I really want to lift her skull to see if it's water or paste inside!

Those were top-tier talents from the mainland, and they were hastily expelled for such a trivial matter! No one is perfect, especially eleven or twelve-year-old children. Teaching and nurturing students is a teacher's duty, and helping them correct their shortcomings is a teacher's responsibility! Zhou Yi's oppressive, obedient, and selective teaching methods have ruined Shrek Academy's long-standing reputation. What's the use of a high graduation rate then…sigh!

Upon hearing this, Ling Bai's eyes flickered slightly. Zhou Yi's teaching method was quite peculiar. Her college entrance examination pass rate and graduation rate were the highest in the Foreign Languages ​​Department because those who did not meet the requirements were expelled long ago, and those who remained were naturally geniuses among geniuses!

Fortunately, he chose to skip a grade and enter the Inner Academy. If he had become a freshman in the Outer Academy and been assigned to Class 1, Ling Bai couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't have gotten into a fight with Zhou Yi.

Beating up Ma Xiaotao X

Beating Zhou Yi

Ning Tian was especially grateful that he had been assigned to Class 9, led by Mu Jin. After the assessment, the new students were reassigned to classes. Wu Feng, as a powerful attack-type Soul Master, was forced to go to Class 1. Ning Tian secretly worried about Wu Feng's hot temper.

Du Weilun ran his fingers through his hair, sighed heavily, and said, "Zhou Yi asked me to suppress the students' morale. If this isn't handled properly, it could easily ruin a student's life! I can't just ignore it, and she's gone too far!"

Du Weilun was radiating a resentment that was almost tangible. As the dean of students, he was truly aggrieved to be threatened by a mere homeroom teacher!

"Xiao Tian, ​​Ling Bai, you two help me think of a way to fulfill that tiger woman's wish, remove the arrogance and impetuosity from the students without hurting their fragile little hearts, and ideally, ignite their fighting spirit and inspire them to continue striving for excellence."

Wow, you have high standards!

Ling Bai and Ning Tian looked at each other strangely. "We are Shrek Academy students, not turtles in the Wishing Well!"

"Uncle Du, I think you could find some senior students and solve the problem through a battle of wits," Ning Tian tentatively suggested.

Du Weilun fell into deep thought and said, "The upperclassmen... the strongest in the outer academy of the Martial Soul Department, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan, only have soul power of level thirty-eight or thirty-nine, which is not much higher than Dai Huabin and Xie Huanyue. Moreover, there are more than sixty students in the class, including the offensive and control departments. Even if Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi worked themselves to death, they still couldn't win. Finding too many upperclassmen would lose the effect of suppressing them."

However, Xiao Tian's suggestion is indeed a good one. If the outer court students can't do it, I'll ask the inner court students!

Ok?

Ling Bai suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

The Spider King's sensor activated automatically!

It looks dangerous!

The next second, a soft, melodious voice drifted into my ears.

"Little White..."

Du Weilen forced a smile, his large face blooming like a chrysanthemum, and said as gently as possible, "Could you do the director a favor?"

Ling Bai subconsciously took a step back to maintain a safe distance, and said with a wry smile, "Director, I think I guessed it..."

Du Weilun's smile grew even brighter: "Your age is similar to that of the outer academy freshmen, you are an inner academy disciple, you possess a god-level martial soul, a soul ring that surpasses the limit, you are a sure-fire member of the Shrek Seven Devils next year, and you know how to be ruthless. Other inner academy disciples are either too old or not strong enough. After thinking it over, I found you to be the most suitable!"

"I've chosen you, Xiaobai!"

"6".

Ling Bai's facial muscles twitched. Yesterday, Director Du introduced Ning Tian to the two deans of the Soul Guidance Department. Today, he was being asked for a favor, and it was like a boomerang hitting him in the face. He simply couldn't bring himself to refuse!

"You can arrange it, Director," Ling Bai said, pinching his nose in resignation.

"Hehe, I know you have a conscience!"

Du Weilun, looking smug, said, "The details do need to be discussed carefully. Everything must be done in moderation. This afternoon, during the first period, I'll have Zhou Yi lead the first class of students to the playground for assembly. Then you'll make your grand entrance, first with a sharp verbal mockery, then with a physical mockery, and finally, a perfect verbal finale!"

Ling Bai was speechless and choked with emotion: "Why does it have to be a blatant taunt?"

Du Weiren scratched his head, puzzled. "To ignite the fighting spirit of the first-year students! Taunting is so effective!"

"Times have changed, Director Du!"

Ling Bai was heartbroken. How could the dignified Dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy be so lacking in creativity!

"Is it possible for us to think about things from a different perspective?"

"Tell me in detail!"

"First of all, it's unfair to only deal with one class. Director Du, why don't you just call on all the first-year students? I'll take care of them all at once."

"Huh? I think you're more sarcastic than I am."

"That's not the point... Secondly, you and I are like this and that... and so on..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is giving me trypophobia. You're too cunning!"

An hour passed quietly. Ling Bai and Ning Tian walked out of the Martial Soul Department teaching building. Suddenly, Ning Tian remembered something and exclaimed:

"Brother Bai, I forgot to send Director Du the Ten-Thousand-Year Grade Seven Ginseng King!"

Ling Bai snorted coldly: "Give me a damn thing! There are over four hundred of you first-year students; save them for me to catch up on!"

Ning Tian couldn't help but smile, and asked curiously, "Brother Bai, why did you deliberately increase the difficulty by challenging the entire first-year student body?"

"Let's go all the way and solve all of Lao Du's problems in one go."

Ning Tian nodded slightly, seemingly convinced by Ling Bai, but her woman's intuition told her that Ling Bai's purpose was not so simple.

Ling Bai gazed into the distance, his dazzling golden eyes unusually deep and unfathomable.

Xiao Tian, ​​someone has to stand up for you and for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Challenging three freshmen from the foreign department is bullying, but fighting four hundred alone is not!

PS: My editor has informed me that the book will be available for purchase on the 1st, so there will be three updates (6,000 words) tomorrow!

Actually, this isn't the author's first time writing and publishing a book. His debut novel was a Douyi novel, which was about 800,000 words long. When writing Sword Bone and Angelic Glory, the original name was Ling Chen, but it kept being typed as Ling Bai, the protagonist's name from the first book, so he simply left it as is, haha.

A new book, a fresh start! I'll guarantee a stable 4,000 words update every day and strive to reach two million words!

Thank you all for your support over the past month! Thank you for all the favorites, reads, recommendations, monthly tickets, and donations!

Here are the answers to your questions:

1. The Ice and Snow Emperors did not give Huo a buff.

2. Autumn and winter are not the same; autumn is autumn.

3. Soul spirits are not widely used; the protagonist will create his own methods to resolve conflicts between soul masters and soul beasts.

4. Don't worry too much about the soul rings and soul bones during the growth period, as they will eventually evolve into 100,000-year-old ones.

5. The protagonist does not learn how to make soul tools, but does not mind using soul tools to assist in combat and strongly supports the development of soul tools.

6. Do not inherit divine positions, but recast and evolve the positions of angels and rakshasa.

7. The protagonist embodies both good and evil, is neither kind nor lawful, and does not harm innocent civilians, refusing to do things like bombing the capital.

8. Supports the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and the original Douluo Continent, later establishes its own power, and is hostile to the Body Sect (foreshadowed), the Heavenly Soul Empire royal family (not yet in the plot), the Sun Moon Empire (supporting soul tools ≠ supporting the Sun Moon's unification of the continent), and the Holy Spirit Cult (evil soul masters should die, no explanation needed).

9. There are many conflicting settings in the four parts of Douluo Continent. The author will select and adapt them appropriately.

10. I'm going home for Friday's holiday. If the data for the release is ideal, I'll definitely add an extra chapter!

Finally, thank you all again for your support. Wishing you a Happy New Year and all the best! Please subscribe!
