Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

Chapter 79 Nine Treasures Transferred to Glazed Glass, the Body Sect Comes to the Door (Part 1)

Shrek Academy, Seagod Island.

"Alright, let's part ways here. Ruoruo and I will go back to our residence to heal our wounds, while you two go to the Surveillance Pavilion to collect your surveillance missions."

Wu Ming stretched out a big yawn, the sunlight shining from behind her outlining her exquisite and shapely figure. Her pretty face showed obvious relaxation. Having spent more than ten years at Shrek Academy, the academy felt like a second home to her.

Han Ruoruo looked at Ling Bai, her eyes filled with deep concern, and gently instructed him, "Junior Brother, remember what I told you last night: the surveillance mission is different from the assessment mission, and there is no element of luck involved."

To ensure mission completion and student survival rates, the academy assigns each inner court disciple the most suitable surveillance mission based on their talent, combat strength, and personality…

Hearing this, Chu Qingtian couldn't help but clench his fists. Goodness! Last time, he drew a black-level mission to kill the Blood-faced Evil Soul Master. Heaven knows how much suffering he endured. If it weren't for the fact that the guy had offended the granddaughter of a Title Douluo, and the little girl had almost died and then called for her grandfather to take action, he would have been chopped into minced meat and made into dumplings by the Evil Soul Master long ago.

Han Ruoruo's voice continued, unhurriedly saying, "Based on your rating, I guess it should be the most difficult red-level surveillance mission. Your injuries require at least seven days of rest, and you should not fight during the mission."

Fortunately, the college has relaxed the requirements for freshmen's first inspection task, which can be completed within the one-month holiday. You must not force yourself to do it, otherwise it will cause problems later.

One more thing: you must pay attention to your diet during the recovery phase. You usually like to eat sour, sweet, and spicy foods, but you should eat more light foods while recovering.

"Um."

Ling Bai said he would remember everything.

"There is one more thing: stay away from darkness and get closer to light. Go out and bask in the sun for an hour every day to ward off evil spirits."

There's one more thing. Five years ago, I bought a pair of Heliotropium butterfly wings at the college's treasure fair. During the holidays, I'll have a skilled craftsman make you a talisman...

There's one more thing...

As Ling Bai listened, black lines gradually filled his mind. Chu Qingtian was drowsy and vaguely recalled the first-year class teacher of the outer academy lecturing on the theory of Soul Masters.

Wu Ming, ever outspoken, interrupted Han Ruoruo's rambling, feigning annoyance, and said, "Stop, stop, stop! My dear Miss Han Ruoruo, please remember you are his senior sister, not his mother! It's just a mere inspection mission; if you're so worried, why don't you just go with him!"

"That seems to make sense, but it violates the academy's rules... However, rules are rules, but people are flexible..."

Han Ruoruo seemed quite interested. After learning about the hidden dangers of the Evil Martial Soul Death Prison Spider Emperor, she was even reluctant to let Ling Bai out of her sight for even half a second, fearing that if she turned her head, Ling Bai would suddenly fall into a killing spree.

Upon hearing this, Wu Ming was puzzled, shocked, and horrified. Her fair face instantly turned into a colorful mess. "Big sister, are you crazy? You're really going to be someone's mother!"

He then leaped up, hooked his arm around Han Ruoruo's slender, swan-like neck, and forcefully dragged her away, shouting at Ling Bai and Chu Qingtian all the while:

"I'll take her to clear her head, you two hurry over there!"

Ling Bai gave an OK sign from afar and walked side by side with Chu Qingtian toward the Inner Court Supervision Pavilion.

"Brother Ling, why do I feel like Senior Sister Han is being a little too concerned about you?" Chu Qingtian scratched his head. "It's like she wants to personally take care of your every need."

The reasons are not for outsiders to know. Ling Bai smiled and said, "It's just normal concern. We're all senior and junior students in the inner courtyard, so it's understandable that we're a little closer."

"Um……"

Chu Qingtian thought about it again and realized that it made sense. After all, Ling Bai and Han Ruoruo had never tried to hide their relationship, and all the inner disciples knew that they were close.

The two entered Shrek Academy's Overwatch Hall and happened to meet Dugu Lin and Pan Tao. The two women were talking to an old man with a hideous scar running across his face.

"Old Li, why you?"

Ling Bai and Chu Qingtian were slightly taken aback. Wasn't Elder Li the head of the assessment hall? Why was he in the supervision hall?

"Shrek Academy allows part-time jobs, do you two have a problem with that?"

The head of the assessment hall and the supervisory hall, Elder Li, raised an eyebrow, as if if they answered incorrectly, the old comrade would make things difficult for the two of them every day.

"Oh, how could I have any objections? Old Li is full of energy and getting younger every day. I think you can still go to the arena and replace the Beast King." Ling Bai closed his eyes and spoke sincerely.

"That's to be agreed upon. You four little ones, come with me."

Old Li revealed a smile, which aggravated the centipede-like scar, making him look even more terrifying. He turned and walked deeper into the Surveillance Pavilion, beckoning Ling Bai and the other three to follow.

Dugu Lin moved closer to Ling Bai naturally, whispering a warm, fragrant breath in his ear, and chuckled, "You're quite fast at weaving, but why did you close your eyes?"

Ling Bai whispered, "Because you can't lie through your teeth, or you'll get struck by lightning."

"Haha, you're so mean~"

"Crunch—"

It's hard now, it's hard! Old Li's fist has hardened!

Deep within the Overwatch Hall was a spacious hall, so spacious it felt unusually quiet. The four of them were disciples who had been studying in the inner courtyard for almost a year. Elder Li, not wanting to beat around the bush, got straight to the point:

"I believe you are all aware of the four standards for graduating from Shrek Academy: level 60 soul power, a black battle soul medal, passing the graduation assessment, and completing 30 inspection missions."

Shrek Academy's inner court has another name on the continent: the Shrek Inspection Team. Each generation of Sea God Pavilion Master personally serves as the head of the Shrek Inspection Team, and any evil or chaotic events occurring on the continent fall within their purview. Therefore, throughout history, countless Shrek disciples and teachers have died in the line of duty, sacrificing themselves to uphold this responsibility and honor…

This monument, forged in blood and flesh, was too heavy to bear. Old Li paused for a moment, then continued:

"Like assessment tasks, monitoring tasks are divided into five levels: white, yellow, purple, black, and red, with increasing difficulty. The first monitoring task for freshmen is also your upgrade assessment task for this year. The task has a one-month deadline. Those who fail can return to their sect to enjoy their new life and don't need to suffer on Shanghai God Island anymore."

Now, on behalf of the Sea God Pavilion Master, I hereby issue you with the supervisory tasks. The first one is Pan Tao.

"arrive!"

Pan Tao gave a non-standard military salute.

"White-level quest: Human-faced Demon Spider. A human-faced demon spider with three thousand years of cultivation is causing trouble in a village near Yaoxing City in the Star Luo Empire. Go and kill it to solve the cholera problem for the villagers."

"Mission accomplished!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, these days the Human-Faced Demon Spider has actually been reduced to a white-level quest..."

Chu Qingtian suddenly felt a toothache, unable to imagine how difficult black-level and red-level missions must be!

"Dugu Lin, Black-level mission Catwoman. Xue Wang, a nobleman in Hailing City of the Douling Empire, is fond of catwomen and forces common women to have relations with cat-like soul beasts in order to obtain catwomen who are half-human and half-cat. Your mission is to kill Xue Wang and rescue those innocent women."

"knew!"

A chilling glint flashed in Dugu Lin's eyes, her pupils showing a tendency to turn into vertical pupils. The noble class of Douluo Continent was filled with many cruel and perverse individuals who had a penchant for hybrid offspring of humans and soul beasts—cat women, snake women, dragon women…

Their birth was built on the blood and souls of countless women, yet they were only meant for people's amusement. As a woman, Dugu Lin felt this deeply and swore to the heavens that she would make Xuewang pay a bloody price!

"Chu Qingtian, Black-level mission: kill an evil soul master..."

"What?! Another Black-level, another Evil Soul Master!?"

Chu Qingtian's loud voice shook the leaves outside the pavilion, causing them to rustle and fall. Birds, startled, fluttered their wings and rushed out of the bushes. He pointed tremblingly at Dugu Lin, and said with grief and indignation:

"Teacher Li, the academy might as well just kill me! Where did you get the idea that I'm on the same level as Sister Lin? She could take on three of me with a single finger without even breaking a sweat!"

"Believe in yourself and don't underestimate yourself. You did a fantastic job on the last assessment task."

Elder Li tried to comfort Chu Qingtian, but Chu Qingtian was petrified as if he were under Medusa's gaze, and seriously suspected that Shrek Academy was deliberately targeting him.

"Actually, there are advantages to doing black-level missions." Old Li coughed lightly. "There are five levels of monitoring missions: white, yellow, purple, black, and red. The academy's graduation requirement is thirty white-level missions. Therefore, for each higher mission level, the white-level mission count increases by one. Completing one of the most difficult red-level missions is equivalent to five white-level missions."

Think about it, if you're assigned a Black-level mission on your very first try, you'll reach the graduation requirements very quickly!

"Ideally, I'd survive to graduate..."

Chu Qingtian squatted down to the side and drew circles. Old Li leaned over and explained the details of the mission, then stared intently at Ling Bai for a long time before suddenly laughing and asking:

"Ling Bai, guess what level your surveillance mission is?"

"Red level".

"So calm?" Old Li asked in surprise. "You seemed a bit disoriented when you drew the red-level quest Medusa last time."

"..."

What are you saying! What are you saying?!

One in a thousand Red-level assessment task is due to bad luck, while Red-level inspection task is due to strong ability!

You're trying to confuse the issue, aren't you!

Moreover, he had just unleashed the 70,000-year-old Burning Sun Fire Dragon's torso soul bone, sweeping away his slump. If the Douluo Continent hadn't yet invented the soul guide camera, Ling Bai would have definitely taken a picture of the soul bone explosion, framed it, and hung it on the wall to prove that he was extremely lucky!

Ling Bai's resentment soared to the heavens, causing Dugu Lin and Pan Tao to burst into laughter, while Old Li couldn't suppress the upward curve of his lips as he said:

"Red-level quest: Calamity Snow Demon. The Dragon City of the Heavenly Soul Empire is located near the far north. The nearby villages make a living by growing special foods and medicinal herbs such as Far Northern Moonlight Rice."

Their fields have recently been extensively destroyed by spirit beasts. According to an analysis by Shrek Academy investigators, it is highly likely that this was the work of a 30,000-year-old Calamity Snow Demon.

"The Calamity Snow Demon?"

The name sounded extremely unfamiliar. Dugu Lin and Pan Tao racked their brains but couldn't find a corresponding image of the soul beast.

Old Li explained, "The Calamity Snow Demon is a mutated Titan Snow Demon, which is inherently prone to bringing disaster. The Titan Snow Demon King, one of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, would personally execute Calamity Snow Demons in order to ensure the peace of his homeland, which resulted in their extremely small number. Therefore, the academy's Soul Beast Theory course did not introduce the Calamity Snow Demon."

Ling Bai, you can capture or kill that 30,000-year-old Calamity Snow Demon, as long as you ensure it never destroys the villagers' fields again.

"Okay." Ling Bai nodded slightly.

"What kind of fate do you have...?"

Dugu Lin patted his shoulder and sighed, "The Youyao Forest, the far north, each one more dangerous than the last. Our luck is just too bad!"

"I don't think so." Ling Bai looked north, his smile meaningful.

"A land of abundant resources and outstanding people, the far north is truly a..."

"A nice place."

Meanwhile, in the dormitory for first-year students of the School of Foreign Languages.

"Yuhao, I'm leaving now, see you at the start of the semester!"

Wang Dongfeng slammed the door shut, leaving Huo Yuhao alone in the dormitory.

"Brother Tianmeng, wake up!"

Huo Yuhao frantically called upon the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in the Sea of ​​Spirit.

Tianmeng Bingcan rubbed her eyes and muttered, "What's wrong with Xiaoyuhao? You seem flustered."

"Of course I panicked!" Huo Yuhao said irritably. "When we come back from vacation, it's the outer academy's upgrade assessment. If we don't pass, we'll be expelled from the Martial Soul Department."

The minimum requirement for participating in the upgrade assessment is level 20 soul power. I trained day and night, but I only reached level 17. That was only because my senior brother won a Xuan Shui Pill from Xu Sanshi in the Soul Arena to improve my foundation!

Having lost certain opportunities, Huo Yuhao's strength has declined significantly, and it is now visibly deteriorating. Although the Soul Guidance Department places high hopes on him, Shrek Academy is the number one Soul Master Academy on the continent, and he is unwilling to give up the excellent educational resources of the Martial Soul Department.

"It's no big deal."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm rolled over, yawning, and said, "When you get your vacation, I'll take you to the far north. We'll take care of everything then—level 20 soul power, the second ice martial soul, a 100,000-year soul ring, a 100,000-year soul bone—all at once! You can expect to take off like a rocket!"

"ah???"

The pancake was big and round, and Huo Yuhao was knocked to the ground.

"Trust me, brother. As the first million-year-old soul beast on the continent, with an unprecedentedly intelligent soul ring, your future is as vast as the stars!"

"I love you, Tianmeng-ge! I'm packing my things and heading to the far north right now!"

"Calm down, let's buy some necessities for the trip first..."

……

After receiving his inspection assignment, Ling Bai arrived at the girls' dormitory building of the Foreign Languages ​​Department. His handsome face, which attracted a lot of attention, once again caused many girls passing by to bump into the pole. Despite their headaches, they couldn't bear to take their eyes off Ling Bai.

If they hadn't experienced countless failures in the previous months, they would have rushed over like a pack of wolves, offering themselves up for bed.

Unfortunately, this incredibly handsome inner court disciple only received special treatment from one and a half female students in the outer court.

Ning Tian, ​​the young sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Wu Feng (half).

The two slowly walked out. Ning Tian's innate noble air immediately made the girls feel inferior and scatter. Wu Feng, seeing this, curled her lip, instantly turning into a sour lemon, and said in a sarcastic tone:

"Wow, Young Master Ling, you're really lucky with women! I wonder how many beauties you've already slept with?"

"when!"

"Aww!"

A chop to the head landed perfectly, leaving Wu Feng stunned but not brain-damaged.

Ling Bai looked straight ahead, exuding righteousness: "Stop talking about me, and worry more about whether you can pass the promotion assessment."

Wu Feng rubbed the bump on his head, grinning, and said, "The upgrade assessment is nothing. Don't change the subject. Ning Tian and I heard you're having a blast in the inner courtyard, with a bunch of pretty senior girls waiting for you every day."

"Indeed, they're always waiting for me at the Soul Arena."

Ling Bai specifically criticized Ling Luochen, Ma Xiaotao, Dugu Lin, and others.

"Alright, Xiao Feng."

Ning Tian nudged Wu Feng helplessly and said to Ling Bai:

"Brother Bai, I've already hired a carriage, and we can set off at any time."

"Let's go home together."
