Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 113 Mu En: Requesting the Protection of Ancestor Tang San

Hearing their conversation, Jiang Peng's eyes flickered with hesitation, as if he was unwilling to give up so easily.

But those who make the decisions are the leading figures of the entire continent. He is merely someone with outstanding talent among his peers in the academy, but it is absolutely impossible for him to interfere with their decisions.

Moreover, he was several years older than Lin Dong, so it would be a loss of face to challenge him rashly. In addition, he had just witnessed the power of Lin Dong's move. Even if Lin Dong asked to continue the match, could he really defeat him?

But as the strongest genius in the history of Di'ao Academy, he has his own arrogance. If I don't even have the courage to challenge him, I'm afraid I will have a hard time achieving great things in the future.

Meeting Lin Dong's calm and unwavering gaze, he hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and saying in a deep voice to the crowd, "Your Majesty Tianyang, I would like to try and exchange a few moves with Lin Dong."

Tianyang Douluo glanced at him indifferently and said in an extremely calm tone, "Jiang Peng, is it? Even if your father came, he probably wouldn't be qualified to teach us how to do things. The Red Dust Hall Master and the others have important matters to attend to. You may leave."

Jiang Peng's face stiffened upon hearing this. He hadn't expected that Tianyang Douluo would actually show no mercy. It seemed that his title as the greatest genius in history was indeed ineffective.

With a dejected expression, he clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Yes, Jiang Peng knows he was wrong."

Lin Dong's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything. He didn't have much of a relationship with Jiang Peng. If Jiang Peng held a grudge against him because of this, then he would have to wonder if Jiang Peng was out of his mind.

Looking at Tianyang Douluo, he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Tianyang Douluo, my move just now consumed a lot of energy, so I'm afraid I can't continue in this match. Please don't mind."

A smile suddenly appeared on Tianyang Douluo's previously expressionless face: "You're too kind, little guy. Jiang Peng is too immature and impulsive. How can we talk about whether we mind or not?"

Seeing Tianyang Douluo's attitude completely change, Jiang Peng's expression became somewhat unnatural, and he sighed inwardly:

It seems that I am still far from being a genius like Lin Dong.

Watching their departing figures, Jiang Peng gave a bitter smile and clenched his fists. He realized he hadn't been cultivating diligently enough. If he were already a Soul Saint, he wouldn't have been treated so differently by Tianyang Douluo.

After exchanging pleasantries with Tianyang Douluo for a while, Lin Dong and the others took out their flying soul tools and left Lingdou City directly. Tianyang Douluo watched their departing figures, his smile slowly freezing, and he murmured to himself:

"When did the Sun Moon Empire become so powerful in training Soul Masters? This is not a good thing for our Fighting Spirit Empire. Lin Dong's talent is too terrifying. If he is not eliminated, he will become a great threat. But we are afraid we cannot handle three level nine Soul Masters."

One of the titled Douluo beside him couldn't help but speak up, "Your Majesty Tianyang, aren't you being too polite to them?"

Tianyang Douluo sneered: "What do you know? Do we really have to be like Xu Jiawei and send the genius we've worked so hard to cultivate to his death? No matter what, the academy has nurtured Jiang Peng for so long."

If something were to happen to him on the field, what should I do? Go to war with three level nine soul masters? Relying on his talent, he wants to challenge anyone. He should be taught that, apart from Shrek Academy, the soul masters of other academies are not much worse than him.

Instead of trying to get my attention, focus on your cultivation. Tell him exactly what I said: only by living can he have a chance to defeat others. The academy has nurtured him for so long, not to let him be reckless and aggressive.

The titled Douluo's expression shifted slightly, and he couldn't help but speak up to advise, "Your Majesty Tianyang, Jiang Peng is, after all, the first person in the academy's history to break through to Soul Emperor before the age of twenty. Isn't saying this a bit too hurtful to him?"

"Hmph, you're going to tell him that? If he doesn't even understand this simple principle, what's the point of raising him?"

Upon hearing Tianyang Douluo's slightly angry tone, the titled Douluo expert quickly replied "Yes" and hurriedly left the city gate.

Tianyang Douluo remained standing alone and sighed softly: "Lin Dong, this name is probably going to truly resound throughout the entire continent. I just don't know if Du Busi's beloved disciple can stop him."

Shrek Sea God Pavilion.

Mu En looked calmly at Ma Xiaotao, who was lying still. More than two months after the competition ended, Ma Xiaotao's evil fire erupted once again.

After Tang Ya obtained the Soul Ring of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, she suffered a qi deviation during an accidental competition and could only rely on the power of the Golden Tree to suppress the evil energy within her body.

Moon thought to himself with a worried expression:

This shouldn't be the case. Tang Ya is, after all, the legitimate successor of the Tang Clan. Following the path of her ancestor Tang San, even if she doesn't achieve his level of success, at least nothing unexpected should happen to her.

How could this situation have arisen? Could it be that the secret techniques left to the Tang Clan by Tang San's ancestor have some flaws? But why is this happening? Shouldn't he have hoped that the Tang Clan would get better and better?

Mu En looked at Tang Ya, whose face had turned black, with a worried expression. Wasn't she already blessed by the gods? Could it be... that Tang San's ancestor was testing Tang Ya?

Solving Xiao Tao's problem will probably take some effort, but as long as their physiques can be fully developed, the academy will have someone who can fight alongside Bei Bei in the future.

With the addition of Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Xu Sanshi, and others, Shrek Academy is thriving. The only variable is whether the Sun Moon Empire will give them this opportunity.

With this in mind, a resolute glint flashed in Moon's eyes. Although Shrek Academy has always maintained neutrality, this matter concerns the peace of the entire continent, and this must be done.

His gaze lingered meaningfully on Tang Ya for a moment, then he murmured softly:

"Ancestor Tang San, if you were in heaven... no, if you were watching over the mortal realm, I hope you could bestow some grace upon us, Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, so that we wouldn't be living in such dire straits."

After saying that, his figure slowly disappeared, and a moment later he appeared in the council hall of the Sea God Pavilion. Yan Shaozhe was standing respectfully in the hall, and Mu En asked softly, "Is everything ready?"

Yan Shaozhe nodded with slight excitement:

"Elder Mu, everything is ready. The Star Luo Empire has borrowed twenty earth-drilling soul tools, and there are eighteen elders with the strength of Title Douluo. We are just waiting for your order."

Moon glanced at him indifferently, then frowned and reminded him:

"Why are you so excited? What we did wasn't exactly a good thing. You all better keep up the disguise. Even if you're discovered, you'd better deny it to the death."

If I didn't only have a few years left to live, and if Xuanzi weren't so unreliable, I wouldn't have taken such a huge risk to do something like this.

Yan Shaozhe's expression changed, and his eyes reddened as he said:

"Elder Mu, with your strength, you are sure to live a long life. Please don't say such discouraging things."

A hint of calm appeared in Moon's eyes as he spoke in a composed tone:

"I know my own body. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Go and fetch Xuanzi. I have something to tell him."

"Yes."

Before long, Xuanzi walked ahead of Yan Shaozhe, hurrying towards Mu En. He knew Mu En must have something important to discuss with him, and he walked quickly towards Mu En with some excitement:

"Elder Mu, Shao Zhe said you were looking for me. Please tell me what you need me to do."

Moon looked at him, his tone carrying a hint of admonition:

"You're already so old, yet you're still so impatient. Listen carefully, I've made up my mind to destroy Mingde Hall, and the academy's guard duty is now in your hands."

In case of any unexpected event, activate the Golden Tree to guard it. Do not act impulsively. Even if someone provokes you, wait until I return.

Seeing the solemnity in Mu En's tone, Xuanzi nodded emphatically with a serious expression:

"Don't worry, Elder Mu, after you set off, I will stay in the Sea God Pavilion and not go anywhere else."

"Sigh, I hope so. I didn't want you to get involved in the academy's affairs in the first place, but there's really no one else available."

Xuanzi didn't care at all about the reproach in Mu En's tone. As long as Elder Mu was still around, he didn't need to worry too much about the academy's affairs. He smiled awkwardly and said in a serious tone:

"I understand, Elder Mu. I will definitely not let you down. You can go in peace. I will protect the academy and wait for your return."

Mu En nodded and said, "I will let Yunzhi stay in the academy as well. In the event of any decisions involving the academy, her decision will prevail. If you disobey and cause any more trouble, you should know the consequences."

Upon hearing this, Xuanzi immediately put aside his other thoughts and replied with a serious expression, "Yes!"

"Alright, you can all leave now. I'll decide the specific time for the operation. Make sure the elders are ready at any time and don't let a word of it leak out."

After watching the two obediently leave, Mu En murmured absentmindedly:

"If we can find out who the mastermind behind this Holy Spirit Cult is, we must find a way to deal with them, otherwise the consequences could be dire..."

Starry Palace.

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

Xu Jiawei looked at the Prime Minister below the stage, frowned, and asked:

"Prime Minister, has the person sent to contact Xuanzi not returned yet? Without Shrek Academy's help, it will be difficult to carry out this plan to surround and kill Jing Hongchen."

The Prime Minister nodded slightly and replied in a low voice, "Your Majesty, apart from borrowing twenty of our earth-drilling soul tools, there has been no news from Shrek Academy. Our envoys have also failed to meet Xuanzi."

Xu Jiawei muttered angrily to himself after hearing this:

"Damn Xuanzi! My Xingluo clan has done so much for Shrek Academy, and yet they turn their backs on us! Did they think all my geniuses died in vain?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Our scouts have reported that the Sun and Moon forces have also remained undefeated in the Douling Empire and are currently on their way to the Tianhun Empire. Perhaps we can seize this opportunity to make our move."

Xu Jiawei seemed intrigued after hearing this, raising an eyebrow:

"You mean, the Body Sect and the Sun Moon Sect's teams will clash, and we can reap the benefits then?"

"Your Majesty is wise. We have Xuanzi's video recordings at Shrek Academy. As long as we can contact him, we won't have to worry about him not agreeing to our demands. Those geniuses of the Empire will certainly not have been sacrificed in vain."

Hearing this, Xu Jiawei's expression softened considerably. Looking at the hesitant prime minister, he spoke calmly:

"Please speak freely, Prime Minister. I can handle it."

The Prime Minister then recounted the attack on the Zhu residence in one breath. Xu Jiawei was instantly enraged and slammed his fist on the dragon throne in anger.

"Provocation! This is utterly arrogant! To attack my Earl on my Star Luo territory is a blatant provocation! I will publish this in the newspapers and let the whole world know about Sun Moon's wolfish ambitions."

After hesitating for a while, the Prime Minister whispered a reminder: "We don't have any substantial evidence. If we tell them, they'll use the competition as a publicity stunt, which probably isn't a good idea..."

Xu Jiawei scoffed, "So you mean we're just going to swallow this loss?"

The Prime Minister nodded with a grim expression: "The other side's recent performance in the competition is obvious to all. If they accuse us of slandering them out of jealousy after the article is published, we will be in trouble."

This would lead to public criticism. At least on the surface, the other side indeed had no reason to attack the Zhu residence. Public opinion regarding the previous competition had already begun to shift in favor of Riyue. My suggestion is to postpone it for a few days.

After listening to his analysis, Xu Jiawei pondered for a moment with some dissatisfaction, then nodded helplessly:

"Then let's do as you say. Remember to remind your men to keep a close eye on Jing Hongchen and the others' movements. We can't miss any opportunities."

"yes!"

As the Prime Minister's figure slowly faded from view, a ruthless glint flashed in Xu Jiawei's eyes:

"My lord, I will find a way to take over your power. I want to see if Shrek Academy can truly abandon its millennia-old glory!"

On the other side, after Lin Dong and the others left Lingdou City, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but ask softly:

"Lin Dong, your soul power seems a bit too extraordinary. When did you secretly develop such a trump card?"

Lin Dong smiled faintly, not answering his question, but instead asking in return:

"Dean, this competition seems a bit too easy for us. I haven't even had a chance to tour the entire Douling Empire yet, and all our opponents are already at this level?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen's expression stiffened. He coughed lightly and explained with a smile:

"I know you want to use the competition to fight against stronger people and to understand the environment of the entire continent, but the other party has given us the order to leave, so there's not much we can do. Besides, don't think that there aren't real geniuses among your peers."

Those secluded sects are the biggest opponents we might encounter. For example, the Earth Dragon Sect. Their martial soul combination skill has such great power with only three Soul Kings. If it were a Soul Emperor, its power would probably be unstoppable even for you.

Moreover, these reclusive sects within the empire are generally not very interested in the soul tools we proposed. Although they may seem foolish to be stuck in their ways, their strength should not be underestimated.

I can't guarantee whether the Douling Empire held back today, and the mysterious Star Crown Sect of the Star Luo Empire didn't even appear in this competition. It's fair to say that we haven't faced a real challenge yet.

Lin Dong smiled and said "Oh" in surprise:

"Are there any other unusual sects we might encounter in the future?"

"For example, the legendary Haotian Sect, and the Body Sect, which is on par with Mingde Hall and Shrek Academy. The Haotian Sect is so mysterious that we can't even contact it right now."

But you should know that the Clear Sky Hammer, with its terrifying power, is known as the number one weapon spirit on the continent. You can probably imagine how powerful the Clear Sky Sect is. And these two sects are located in the Heavenly Soul Empire, which we are about to visit.

Lin Dong nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and couldn't help but wonder:

Known for its power, it's the number one weapon spirit on the continent. I wonder if it can even be surpassed after the Ancestral Stone is transformed into a weapon spirit, since it's the only weapon spirit on this continent...
