Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 197 Xu Jiawei's Plans, The Clown Comes Knocking

Xu Jiawei was excited at that moment.

Then he immediately calmed down, frowned slightly, and looked thoughtful.

Such an amazing person has never appeared in the entire Douluo Continent. He is definitely the lifeblood of Shrek Academy. It will not be an easy task to recruit Lin Yun to the Star Luo Empire.

But Xu Jiawei had no other choice.

The Star Luo Empire is currently beset by internal and external troubles and is on the verge of collapse. Internally, there is the treacherous minister Dai Hao with ulterior motives, and externally, the terrifying enemy, the Sun Moon Empire, is watching with predatory eyes.

One is not good.

Not only will he not be able to continue being the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, but his royal family, the Xu family, may also be completely destroyed.

Placing Lin Yun in front of Xu Jiawei now is like placing a bottle of Nongfu Spring water in front of a person on the verge of dying of thirst in the desert. Even if he knows that the water is not from a normal source, he can only drink it down without hesitation, just like someone with diarrhea would look for a toilet without a second thought.

Rather than worrying about the future consequences, preserving the Star Luo Empire, the Xu family, and even Xu Jiawei himself is the most important thing.

Everyone looks out for themselves, or they'll be damned if they don't look out for themselves.

Even if his attempt to win over Lin Yun might lead to a complete breakdown in relations between the Star Luo Empire and Shrek Academy, Xu Jiawei couldn't care less.

Faced with absolute benefits or even the threat of life and death, anyone can go mad without regard for anything else.

In Xu Jiawei's eyes, he, the entire Star Luo Empire, and even the Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy were already on the verge of collapse. How long they could survive depended entirely on how long the Sun Moon Empire planned to drag things out.

If the Sun and Moon Empire launches a war, they will undoubtedly be defeated.

In the most critical moment, they needed a true hero to come out and save them!

"This hero belongs to none other than you..." Xu Jiawei smiled meaningfully.

As he waited in agonizingly long hours, his subordinates finally presented Xu Jiawei with all the information they could gather. Xu Jiawei merely glanced at it before bursting into laughter.

The further down he looked, the brighter his eyes became, and his expression shifted towards ecstasy.

"That's great, that's great..."

"This is truly divine intervention! May God bless Xu Jiawei and the Star Luo Empire!"

Xu Jiawei, who has always been calm and wise and composed, never showed his emotions after ascending the throne. His loss of composure shows just how good the intelligence he possessed must have been.

First of all, Lin Yun is at odds with Shrek Academy!

On his first day of school, he was harassed by his homeroom teacher. However, with his cultivation at the third ring level, he defeated the Soul Emperor-level homeroom teacher head-on. After that, he was at odds with this homeroom teacher every day.

For the next year, Lin Yun did not get close to Shrek Academy and always kept his distance.

The information here tells Xu Jiawei that although Lin Yun is now a Soul King, he is actually only thirteen years old! At such a young age and with such cultivation, even with all of Xu Jiawei's knowledge, he has never seen such a monstrous genius Soul Master.

Lin Yun's talent seems to have exceeded the limits of Douluo Continent. Even the Shrek Seven Devils from ten thousand years ago were no match for Lin Yun at the same age.

Second thing.

Lin Yun is not without power. According to his own words, he comes from a sect of unknown strength called the Beast Taming Sect!

Upon seeing this, Xu Jiawei was even more excited and speechless.

Why?

Because this means Lin Yun and Shrek Academy are destined to never be together! Shrek Academy may present itself as an academy, but in reality, it has long become a powerful force. Its selection and restrictions on inner disciples are no less stringent than those of most sects for their inner disciples.

Both are sects, so why should the Beast Taming Sect choose its own genius heir to be your successor and inherit your lineage? What a joke!

But the Star Luo Empire is different. Although it is also a force, Star Luo is an empire, not a sect. It does not have as many restrictions on sect disciples. Not only does it not need to incorporate the Beast Taming Sect into Star Luo, but it can also make the Beast Taming Sect the guardian sect of the Star Luo Empire.

It's similar to the relationship between the Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Empire.

However, whether it is a specific relationship between the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult is unknown, and no one knows whether Xu Jiawei will eventually be discarded after his usefulness is over.

At least for now, Xu Jiawei doesn't have that idea. He only wants to win over Lin Yun and use Lin Yun and the power of the "Beast Taming Sect" he mentioned to fight against the Sun Moon Empire and Shrek Academy.

While Xu Jiawei was plotting his own scheme, the others were also having their own ideas.

There are quite a few people hiding in the shadows in this year's Soul Fighting Tournament.

The Holy Spirit Cult members were probably not around, otherwise Zhongli Wu wouldn't have needed Jing Hongchen to inform him, and he wouldn't have known that his "fellow believer" and nephew or niece had actually helped their Holy Spirit Cult cultivate such an amazing Fire Phoenix Saintess.

However, there are people from the Body Sect present, and they are two Soul Douluos.

After Lin Yun left, the two Soul Douluos huddled together, their expressions somewhat uncertain.

"Shrek Academy has produced another outstanding genius, should we...?"

"Let's not. Although I really want to nip him in the bud, Shrek Academy won't let its own genius be hunted down by others. I'd conservatively estimate that there's a Title Douluo hiding in the shadows. If the two of us go to kill him, we'll only be sending ourselves to our deaths."

"Alright, what a pity. If only that kid had a true form martial soul."

"Enough with the nonsense. Although we can't kill him, we must inform the sect leader. I'll stay in Star Luo City to continue my undercover work; you go back and relay the message immediately!"

"Huh? Why am I the one going?"

"Damn it, I'm a mentalist, my stealth abilities are way better than yours, aren't they? Get lost!"

……

Some people are pragmatic, such as Xu Jiawei, and the two Soul Douluos from the Body Sect. One wanted to win them over, while the other wanted to suppress them, but for the sake of stability, they did not take action.

But some people are ungrateful. Even if you install a cheesy map app on them, they probably still won't be able to figure out their location.

Level 91 Title Douluo, Title: Mighty Giant, Martial Soul: Thousand-Pound Ant Emperor, Star Luo Empire's Offering · Cheng Gang.

Don't be fooled by this impressive list of titles. In reality, this guy is just a clown. His spirit ring configuration is two yellow, three purple, and four black, which doesn't even meet the optimal ratio. He's not very strong, but he's got a lot of ambitions.

He was the one whose eyes were blinded by greed.

In the original story, the author mistakenly believed that Huo Yuhao's Ice Emperor Martial Soul was the human form of the Ice Emperor, and went directly to confront him, only to be brutally beaten by Xuanzi.

This time, the person he targeted was Lin Yun.

"Such a powerful aura, such a terrifying ratio of spirit rings, could never be possessed by a human; he must be a transformed spirit beast!"
