Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: Starting with a Bond to God King Tang San

Chapter 184 Laughing at the World with Shadows

After entering the room, Deng Mu and Huo Yutong went into the bathroom together.

An hour and a half later, Deng Mu and Huo Yutong came out of the bathroom.

In the quiet of the secluded courtyard, a blissful spring night unfolds, and my heart, filled with countless worries, finds itself utterly at peace.

The petals and leaves once broke the flower stamens, and the drooping willow branches swayed in the breeze.

……

The morning light quietly filtered through the gaps in the curtains, gently falling on Deng Mu and Huo Yutong, who were sleeping in each other's arms on the bed.

The room was quiet, with only the occasional chirping of birds outside the window.

Huo Yutong slowly woke up, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. The tender scenes from yesterday flooded her mind like a tide, her cheeks flushed, and she subconsciously snuggled closer to Deng Mu.

Deng Mu seemed to sense her movement and slowly opened his eyes to look at Huo Yutong in his arms.

"Good morning, Yutong," Deng Mu greeted Huo Yutong softly.

Huo Yutong tilted her head slightly, a shy smile on her lips, and replied softly, "Good morning, Brother Mu."

Deng Mu gently kissed Huo Yutong's forehead and said, "It's time to get up. We have important things to do today."

Huo Yutong nodded slightly, a hint of reluctance on her face.

Deng Mu moved quickly and soon got ready, standing aside watching Huo Yutong do her makeup in front of the mirror.

"Brother Mu, do you think we can learn a lot of new things from this exchange?" Huo Yutong asked while combing her long hair.

Deng Mu stepped forward, gently hugged her from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said, "I definitely can, but no matter what, I'll be by your side."

Feeling a bit curious, now that Xue Di was on his side, what kind of soul beast embryo would Huo Yutong obtain?

And what about Xiao Hongchen, whom we haven't seen in a long time? How has he changed? Is he still the same as before, or has his personality changed?

After getting ready, the two walked out of the room together.

At this time, there were already quite a few Shrek Academy students walking around in the hotel corridor.

Upon arriving at the hotel lobby, Yan Shaozhe was already waiting there.

He nodded slightly when he saw Deng Mu and Huo Yutong.

Led by Yan Shaozhe and Fan Yu, everyone arrived at Maple Leaf Square, located in the center of Maple Leaf City.

Deng Mu and Huo Yutong soon spotted familiar faces: the siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.

When Deng Mu saw Xiao Hongchen, he was stunned for a moment, feeling that Xiao Hongchen had changed a lot.

Xiao Hongchen used to give off a very arrogant and domineering vibe, but now that vibe has completely vanished, and he seems somewhat颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, dispirited, or demoralized).

When Xiao Hongchen saw Deng Mu, he was stunned and subconsciously swallowed.

He truly hadn't expected that this devil would actually come.

Thinking back to that day's match, Xiao Hongchen felt like it was a nightmare.

He had thought he might lose, but he hadn't expected to lose so quickly, which was really hard for him to accept.

So much time has passed, and he still has only one dream: to defeat Deng Mu and become the true number one genius.

When Meng Hongchen saw Deng Mu, her eyes lit up, and she greeted him warmly: "Long time no see, Deng Mu."

Deng Mu responded politely to Meng Hongchen's greeting with a faint smile, saying, "Long time no see, Meng Hongchen."

Standing beside Deng Mu, Huo Yutong noticed the burning passion in Meng Hongchen's eyes when she looked at Deng Mu, and a feeling of jealousy quietly crept into her heart.

She subtly moved closer to Deng Mu, affectionately taking his arm as if to assert her dominance.

Meng Hongchen naturally noticed Huo Yutong's little actions as well. She slightly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a slightly provocative smile.

He was somewhat reluctant to go to Shrek Academy and preferred to stay at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Yan Shaozhe and Jing Hongchen chatted for a while and then switched places.

He clearly heard Deng Mu and Xiao Hongchen pass each other by.

Xiao Hongchen whispered, "In the next tournament, I will defeat you and prove that I am the strongest."

He must defeat Deng Mu, break free from his inner demons, and return to his former self.

Hearing Xiao Hongchen's words, Deng Mu couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, let's wait and see."

I thought Xiao Hongchen had become withdrawn, but now it seems he just has some trauma.

Yan Shaozhe led the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy away, heading towards Shrek Academy.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Seeing that Yan Shaozhe and the others had left, Jing Hongchen smiled and looked at Fan Yu and the other Shrek Academy students, saying, "Everyone, let's go too. I am Jing Hongchen, the Hall Master of Mingde Hall, and on behalf of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, I welcome you all to join us."

While speaking, he secretly sized up Deng Mu, as he had been curious about Deng Mu before.

I'm curious how Deng Mu beat his grandson so badly that he started to question his existence and it took him quite a while to recover.

After speaking, Jing Hongchen leaped into the air, and two thin golden beams of light suddenly unfolded behind him, slowly lifting his body upwards.

Immediately afterwards, Jing Hongchen led everyone to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Upon arriving in Mingdu, Deng Mu couldn't help but think of the modern cities on Earth when he looked at the scenery of Mingdu.

He couldn't help but wonder if he would ever be able to return to Earth.

Jing Hongchen led everyone to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and landed in the plaza.

A dozen or so people were already waiting in the square, and they quickly came forward to greet him.

One of the middle-aged men, also short and stout, approached Jing Hongchen and respectfully said, "Master, everything is arranged."

Jing Hongchen smiled and said, "Let me introduce you all. This is Lin Jiayi, the Dean of Studies at our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Your lives and studies will be inseparable from him for the next two and a half years. Jiayi, please make arrangements for the children. Teacher Fanyu, please come with me."

After saying that, Jing Hongchen left with Fan Yu.

Lin Jiayi directed the people behind him to hand over the items to Deng Mu and his group, and then told Deng Mu about the school's arrangements.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Jiayi led Deng Mu and his group into the physical testing room.

The room wasn't particularly large, about 100 square meters, and contained many large soul tools.

Deng Mu suddenly became curious whether the Sun and Moon's soul conductor instrument could detect his current state.

You should know that the divine core inside his body is constantly strengthening his body, and he has also absorbed several ten-thousand-year soul rings before.

However, it must be said that if the Soul Conductor Measurement Device from Douluo Continent were modified and placed on Earth, it would definitely be a cutting-edge technology.

Lin Jiayi explained the soul guide device to Deng Mu and his group, and told everyone to put their soul guides away.

The others were very curious about the Soul Conductor Side Meter; it was the first time they had ever heard of it.

"Who wants to go first?" Lin Jiayi asked with a smile as he watched the Shrek Academy students quickly pack up their soul tools.

Just like in the original story, Ye Xiaosheng was the first to step out and experience the Soul Conductor Instrument.
