Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 106 This God-King will reluctantly grant you a chance.

"According to Xiaoya, the headquarters of the Evil Soul Masters is in Sun and Moon. The person who killed Xiaotao that day, as you said, is at least at the same level as Xuanzi. So he must be a high-ranking member of the Holy Spirit Cult. He should have already reported back about the matter of Wang Dong's two elders."

This time, we owe it all to Wang Dong and those two seniors. However, this also reveals another layer of the Sun and Moon Emperor's intention: to test whether what the evil soul master said was true.

After listening to Mu En's self-indulgent explanation, Yan Shaozhe's expression grew even more unpleasant. He looked at Mu En with considerable anxiety and said:

"Elder Mu, aren't we in a dilemma? If we don't send students to compete with them, won't the world think that Shrek Academy has no one to rely on? But if we want to participate in that competition, how many of our students are capable of participating right now?"

After pondering for a moment, Mu En said softly, "That's right. This year's regular team members are either dead or injured. Those three members of Sun Moon are not simple. If we send more people out, we'll probably suffer more casualties. That won't do."

After listening, Yan Shaozhe tentatively asked, "So you mean we should just avoid it altogether? But wouldn't that damage the academy's reputation too much?"

Moon glanced at him indifferently: "Do you also believe that the academy's reputation is more important than the safety of its students?"

Yan Shaozhe quickly bowed and replied, "This student wouldn't dare, but the elders are already in an uproar. Some of them even want to intercept and kill them on the way."

Even the usually calm Moon was quite angered by these words, and let out a cold snort:

"This is utter nonsense! Forget about the enormous price we'd have to pay to intercept three level-nine Soul Masters; even if we succeeded, what would the world think of Shrek Academy?"

"That's why I said that getting past Elder Mu might not be easy. After all, the Sun and Moon's wolfish ambitions are obvious, and we can't just let them go like this, Elder Mu."

Seeing his slightly anxious face, Moon waved his hand:

"Alright, alright, let me think about it for a while. Tang Ya will be out of seclusion in two days. Could you tell Yunzhi for me to take Xuanzi and accompany the students to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings?"

"Isn't sending Elder Song and Elder Xuan to hunt for a spirit ring an overreaction, Elder Mu?"

Mu En replied calmly, "It's better to be careful. I don't feel comfortable sending Xuanzi alone. Let Yunzhi go with him. Remember to tell Xuanzi that he should follow Yunzhi's orders when he goes out. If he causes any more trouble, I won't let him off the hook."

"Yes."

Seeing Yan Shaozhe leave, Mu En frowned with some worry: "Perhaps we still have to rely on Wang Dong's influence."

Spirit world.

Tang San, his face filled with worry, suddenly sensed a familiar aura emanating from the lower realm. His eyes widened in confusion as he asked:

"Huh, why does the Golden Tree have the scent of Dark Blue Silver Grass? Let me see what's going on."

As Tang Shenwang channeled his divine power, a scene suddenly flashed in his eyes: Tang Ya bathing in golden light under the golden tree, purifying evil spirits. He exclaimed in surprise:

"Descendants of the Tang Clan? Alas, it's not that I'm unwilling to help the Tang Clan, but the rules of the divine realm are such that I shouldn't easily interfere in matters of the mortal world."

After a moment of hesitation, he sighed with a hint of helplessness:

"Very well, since the Tang Clan has been kind to me, and you are destined to be with the Tang Clan, then I, the God, will grant you an opportunity. I hope you can seize this opportunity and work with Xiao Qi to guide the chosen one of destiny onto the Tang Clan's path that is most suitable for him."

Mu En's eyes, which had been slightly strained, suddenly flashed with a surge of wild joy. Looking at Tang Ya, who was surrounded by holy golden light, he exclaimed excitedly, somewhat losing his composure, "Ancestor Tang San, is that you?!"

If Tang Ya hadn't been immersed in divine power and unable to perceive the changes in the outside world, she probably would have been quite startled by Mu En's current behavior.

At this moment, Moon had risen from the recliner, knelt on both knees, and two streams of tears slid down his withered face as he wept with overwhelming emotion.

"As expected, our ancestors have been protecting Shrek. I, the unworthy descendant, pay my respects to our ancestors. I will do my utmost to ensure Shrek's eternal prosperity and never fail the foundation you and our ancestors have built with such hard work."

Tang San watched this scene calmly, then suddenly sensed something and cursed inwardly, "Aren't you giving Destruction a handle on me? Damn it!" With that, he quickly severed his connection with the lower realm.

Seeing a purple spirit ring being stripped from Tang Ya's body amidst golden light, Mu En calmed himself down after a moment of excitement. As Tang Ya slowly opened her eyes, he said with a kind expression:

"Xiaoya, you were just blessed by the gods. Do you feel any changes in yourself?"

After carefully sensing it, Tang Ya explained in a daze:

"Elder Mu, my spirit ring, which I obtained from a five-thousand-year-old plant, seems to be missing. The position of my fourth spirit ring is now empty. Also, I feel as if my heart has been cleansed, and my love for the Tang Sect has become even stronger."

Upon hearing this, Mu En rarely showed a joyful smile: "This is Tang San's ancestor guiding you. He probably wants you to change to a better spirit ring, and at the same time, he wants you to be more determined on the path of the Tang Sect. You must not let your ancestor down."

Tang Ya nodded emphatically upon hearing this, a proud smile spreading across her face: "Don't worry, Elder Mu, Ancestor, Mom and Dad, I will definitely revitalize the Tang Clan!"

Mu En was somewhat moved and patted Tang Ya's head: "Good child, since that's the case, you can go with Xiao Xiao and the others to hunt for spirit rings in the Star Dou Great Forest with Xuan Zi this time."

"Okay, thank you, Elder Mu."

Tang Ya was filled with strength at this moment. Her efforts had not been in vain. Her ancestor Tang San was indeed silently protecting the Tang Clan!

Tang San, of course, had no idea that his spur-of-the-moment decision would make Tang Ya completely devoted to him. At this moment, he was starting to feel troubled again by the fact that the chosen one was out of his control, and an idea couldn't help but surface in his mind:

Could it be that we can only rely on the two Ming emperors? However, this seems to be against the rules. Well, for the sake of my eternal plan, necessary measures must be taken. I hope the chosen one will realize his mistake and cherish the opportunity I have given him.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

After a grand farewell ceremony, Lin Dong and his group prepared to part ways. In addition to the three people who were publicly identified, Xu Tianzhen and Elder Zhong, who had treated Lin Dong, also accompanied them as his physician.

After everyone left, a cold glint flashed in the old emperor's eyes. He hoped they could bring him some good news.

Above the Heavenly Soul Empire.

A tall, elderly man stood quietly in the hall, his long, dark green hair cascading down his back. Somewhat amusingly, however, he was bald on top of his head.

The old man's face was rosy like a baby's, with hardly any wrinkles. The only thing that revealed his age was the vicissitudes in his dark green eyes.

Looking at the contents of the newspaper, Du Busi couldn't help but chuckle: "That dog emperor Riyue is quite generous, really thinking that soul tools are invincible. Since he's so willing to spend the money, then this old man will gladly accept it."

Below him stood a burly young man, nearly 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a muscular build. He had long, reddish-brown hair parted in the middle, with the hair hanging down on both sides looking extremely smooth. He had narrow, cold eyes, a straight nose, and a square mouth.

Although he wasn't particularly handsome, he had a somewhat devilish charm. What was even more peculiar was that his skin was very fair, as clear as jade, with a faint glow flowing beneath it. Every gesture he made was very graceful.

He bowed deeply to Poison Immortal: "Master, let your disciple fight on behalf of the sect."

Poison Undying frowned and shook his head slightly: "Aotian, your cultivation level is still low. The grand competition held by Sun and Moon in five years will be the time for you to show your true power. Your senior brothers are already close to the Soul Saint level. It would be better to send them to fight this time."

A sharp glint flashed in Long Aotian's eyes, and he couldn't help but reply, "Master, although I am now a Soul King, the contestants they sent are only two Soul Kings and one Soul Venerable. I am confident that I can defeat them. Is it necessary to send out several senior brothers?"

Poison Undying smiled faintly: "It's good to be confident, but this matter is not so simple. That dog emperor is here to test the strength of our younger generation. We can't hold back, lest he have other ideas."

Long Aotian knew his master's temperament all too well; once he made a decision, he would never go back on it. So he could only nod somewhat reluctantly.

Seemingly noticing his reaction, Poison Undying chuckled and explained, "Aotian, why do you think that old emperor would send a Soul Venerable to make such outrageous claims and challenge the entire continent? Is he really senile, with too much money to spare?"

Long Aotian was taken aback at first, then paused and replied, "Of course not, Master."

"Hehe, in my opinion, that Soul Master is the one they are truly relying on in this competition. That young man named Lin Dong will probably become your biggest opponent five years from now."

Long Aotian asked, somewhat puzzled, "Master, does he really deserve such high praise from you? I'm about to break through to Soul Emperor, and I've already undergone Silver-level awakening. Before the next competition, I'm sure I'll be able to break through to Soul Saint. How could he possibly be a match for me?"

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Poison Undying smiled faintly: "Although your talent is indeed very strong, that kid killed no less than four Soul Kings during the competition with the strength of a Great Soul Master, and even defeated Shrek Academy's strongest level 68 Soul Emperor in this competition. Now you know why I said that."

Long Aotian's expression changed, and he murmured incredulously, "That level 68 Soul Emperor from Shrek Academy couldn't have been defeated so easily, could he? He must have used some special method of restraint."

"I don't know the specifics, but his performance in the competition was too outstanding. What shocked me the most was that he killed a student from Shrek Academy in front of a Title Douluo."

Long Aotian's already shocked expression froze completely. He knew that apart from killing a Soul King, the success rate of these two tasks would not exceed 50%, especially since the opponent was only a Great Soul Master.

This was so astonishing that even Long Aotian was speechless for a moment, while Du Busi gave a faint smile:

"You little rascal, you usually only care about cultivation and don't care about anything else. It's rare to see you with this kind of expression."

Upon hearing this, Long Aotian smiled somewhat awkwardly, a hint of seriousness appearing in his eyes:

"Then Master, I'll go cultivate now. I can't let you down in five years."

Poison Immortal nodded, and after watching him leave, his eyes narrowed slightly as he murmured to himself:

"If it weren't for this damned emperor sending three level-nine soul masters to escort him, I would have really wanted to snatch this kid away. He's a rare talent, what a pity..."

Three days later, in front of Shrek Academy.

Song Yunzhi looked at Beibei, Tang Ya, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao in front of her, and patted Beibei and Wang Dong's heads affectionately with a smile:

"You two, instead of focusing on your cultivation, you insist on getting involved in this mess."

Beibei glanced tenderly at Tang Ya beside her and said softly with a smile, "I want to spend more time with Xiaoya, Elder Song. Besides, isn't it also a kind of training for us to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts?"

Seeing this, Wang Dong quickly chimed in, "Yes, Elder Song, the academy has always taught us to value relationships and righteousness. Aren't we just responding to the academy's call?"

Although she wanted to be with Xiao Xiao, she also felt that academy life was too boring and she finally had a chance to get out and breathe some fresh air, so she naturally had to seize this rare opportunity.

Seeing the two men's reasonable and well-founded arguments, Old Song could only nod. Their backgrounds were indeed quite frightening, but taking two children along shouldn't be a problem.

After the group made some preparations, Xuanzi looked at everyone and nodded indifferently. After being reprimanded by Mu En for so long, Xuanzi had realized his mistakes and was no longer as carefree as before. The wine flask at his waist looked much duller.

Seeing his dejected appearance, Wang Dong and the others bowed to him out of politeness, saying, "Greetings, Elder Xuan."

Xuanzi forced an awkward smile and said softly:

"Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely protect you this time."

The four nodded obediently, stepped onto Xuanzi's large flying soul tool, and slowly flew into the sky.

After seeing that the group had left safely, Yan Shaozhe disappeared from the spot and came to Mu En's side, asking softly:

"Elder Mu, as per your request, we have sent all the Shrek Academy students who are affiliated with sects back to their respective sects. This is all we at Shrek Academy can do."

However, with such a generous reward, if we could find a way to assemble a team from the entire continent, wouldn't that be worth a try?

Moon shook his head slightly: "What we should be focusing on is not the competition itself, but the people behind it. They dared to set such a generous reward this time, so they must be confident enough. Let's not take the risk."

Seeing that Mu En had made his decision, Yan Shaozhe said no more and said softly, "Then I will take my leave, Elder Mu."

After he left, Moon stared blankly at the glittering golden tree, lost in thought, and said:

"I wonder if those two seniors from the Haotian Sect were a contingency plan left by our ancestors. The current situation is truly not good."
