Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Thunder Dragon, A Century of Glory

Chapter 110 Xue Qinghe's Attraction and Alliance

Besides Ning Fengzhi, Xue Qinghe was also present.

"He's back," Yang Wudi said after seeing Yun Yibai.

"Young Yun, Sect Leader Ning and His Highness the Crown Prince have excellent judgment; they specifically requested to see you," Yang Wudu said pointedly.

Despite his seemingly rough appearance, Yang Wudi is actually quite meticulous.

He was subtly implying to Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe that Yun Yibai held a significant position within their Martial Arts Academy and was an important figure. He wasn't implying that Yun Yibai's lack of display of strength on the field meant he was just putting on a show; he possessed genuine talent.

Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe quickly exchanged a glance, both understanding what the other meant: Yun Yibai was definitely not as he usually appeared. Although he didn't say it explicitly, his hints were clear enough.

At this moment, they were absolutely certain that Yun Yibai was definitely the second Soul King of Martial Arts Academy!

What was once just speculation is now confirmed; Yang Wudi's words have explained everything.

Wasn't Yang Wudi's statement implying that Yun Yibai was even more powerful than Dugu Yan?

Yang Wudi wasn't speaking without reason. They hadn't actively sought out the Heavenly Dou Empire, yet the people of the Heavenly Dou Empire had already reached out to them. So, he naturally took the opportunity to promote Yun Yibai.

Since we'll have to sell the product sooner or later anyway, we might as well let them get used to it before they're completely blown away.

Martial Arts Academy established its development plan at its very inception, aiming to become the number one advanced soul master academy on the continent.

The Heavenly Dou Empire cannot ignore the fact that such a top-tier university has developed.

Their two main strengths are the titled Douluo Dugu Bo and the genius soul masters of Martial Extreme Academy.

Their major clans could barely be considered as adding some good fortune.

So when Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe came, Yang Wudi took the opportunity to promote Yun Yibai.

Although Yang Wudi knew that once Yun Yibai revealed his true strength, he would inevitably be taken seriously by the Heavenly Dou Empire, it was clearly not the right time yet.

"Captain Yun, we meet again!" Xue Qinghe smiled slightly.

"Sect Leader Ning, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Yun Yibai bowed respectfully to the two of them.

Ning Fengzhi crossed his legs, placed his hands together on his knees, and nodded with a smile.

"I wonder what important matter Sect Leader Ning and His Highness the Crown Prince wish to discuss with me?"

"As an outstanding Soul Master of the Empire, the Crown Prince naturally wishes to befriend a hero like you."

"Your Highness is too kind!"

"Although he hasn't revealed his true strength yet, I think Captain Yun, as the hidden trump card of Martial Arts Academy, is definitely not to be underestimated."

"Perhaps Captain Yun is also a Soul King!" Xue Qinghe said with a faint smile.

Yun Yibai smiled but remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement. There was no need to hide anything; anyone with a brain could guess what Yun Yibai's situation was.

"Now that Captain Yun is back, let's not beat around the bush."

Xue Qinghe looked directly at Yun Yibai and said, "I've taken a liking to your esteemed institution as a promising company, and I'd like to collaborate with you!"

Yun Yibai: "Your Highness has come to the wrong person for this kind of thing!"

"Hehehe, Captain Yun, are you underestimating the intelligence department of the Heaven Dou Empire?"

"Southward to Xingluo, breaking through the defenses and returning, acquiring Haoyue, establishing Wuji, building a city in the Northeast..."

"It seems that Captain Yun is involved in all of these things," Xue Qinghe said meaningfully.

"His Majesty Dugu prefers quiet and would not enjoy doing such tedious things given his personality."

"The Breaking Clan, the Defending Clan, and the Agile Clan each live in their own place. If no one had acted as a go-between, these three groups would not have come together. Otherwise, they would have united long ago."

"Establishing a new advanced soul master academy is also incompatible with the personalities of His Majesty Dugu and the three clan leaders."

"Do I need to continue?" Xue Qinghe looked at Yun Yibai with a half-smile.

"As the empire that dominates the north, the Heavenly Dou Empire's intelligence network is truly not to be underestimated!" Yun Yibai thought to himself.

After listening to Xue Qinghe's words, Yun Yibai said with a smile, "Truly worthy of being His Highness the Crown Prince."

"But isn't it His Highness the Crown Prince who truly values ​​Elder Dugu of our academy?"

Dugu Bo is the greatest source of confidence for their Martial Arts Academy, and there is no doubt about that.

Xue Qinghe laughed, "Heh, couldn't it be that I only chose your Martial Arts Academy because of you and your teammates?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yibai's lips curled into a playful smile. "Your Highness, you overestimate us. We are merely a group of inexperienced young people. How could we possibly be worthy of being your right-hand men?"

Xue Qinghe gently shook his head, his eyes revealing an undeniable determination. "You are too modest. Your performance in the Soul Master Competition was evident to all. Whether it was teamwork or individual strength, you demonstrated extraordinary potential."

"I know you may be wary of the royal family, fearing you'll become victims of power struggles. But please believe me, I intend to break this outdated pattern and bring about real change for the empire. And you are precisely the ideal changemakers in my heart," Xue Qinghe said sincerely.

"Moreover, our Heaven Dou Empire and your academy also share a common enemy." Xue Qinghe was naturally referring to the Spirit Hall. Most of the Martial Arts Academy's forces were at odds with the Spirit Hall, which was why Xue Qinghe said this.

Although Xue Qinghe met with Shrek Academy first, it did not mean that he wanted to reach a cooperation agreement with Shrek Academy. Rather, he chose to befriend the outstanding soul masters of Shrek Academy.

The biggest difference between Shrek Academy and Martial Arts Academy is that only Tang San from Shrek Academy has a grudge against the Spirit Hall.

The Martial Arts Academy, on the other hand, has even more people who have grudges against the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall would never have any goodwill towards an academy formed by such people.

Without goodwill, there will be endless suppression.

"The Spirit Hall's actions have become increasingly outrageous. Even Salas, a branch bishop in Heaven Dou City, dared to disrespect the emperor of an empire."

"Looking across the continent, the conflicts between the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Spirit Hall are becoming increasingly acute, to the point of no return, and a catastrophe is inevitable."

"The Spirit Hall was already powerful, and in recent years it has been secretly winning over various forces, intending to isolate the two great empires."

"By now, many sects, kingdoms, and even Soul Master families across the continent have submitted to the Spirit Hall."

"The Spirit Hall used to be more restrained, but now they've gone to great lengths to persuade the four lower sects to submit to them."
