Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 278 There's a mole inside, the plan is on hold!

The rooftop of Shrek Academy's tallest building.

Two elderly women with an air of otherworldly grace stood on the rooftop with their hands behind their backs, looking down at the rather deserted Shrek Academy campus.

"There's no traitor within, we can talk," said Elder Lin, the head of the Treasure Pavilion. "Sister Song, did you call me here for this private talk because of that book, 'The Phoenix Plays with Two Dragons'?"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Song sighed deeply: "Yes, I never expected that our suspicions from not long ago would actually come true. We only suspected him at the time, but we never imagined that he really had such a dark past."

A phoenix playing with two dragons!

The brilliant and powerful Dragon God Mu En, who has supported Shrek Academy for over a hundred years, is secretly a follower of an evil soul master, and in a very different way...

It's unbearable to look at...

Every time he recalls the explosive scenes in "The Phoenix Plays with Two Dragons", Song Lao feels that the worldview he spent nearly two hundred years creating has been challenged like never before.

Even an old woman like her couldn't help but exclaim, "The strong really know how to play the game!"

Is it because she's not monstrous enough that she's stuck at level 97 and can't break through?

Old Song fell into deep thought.

Coincidentally, Lin Huiqun, under a strange mental loop, also thought of the same thing as Old Song. The two old women, whose combined age was over three hundred, suddenly and unexpectedly experienced a mental breakdown.

Could it be that... all those who can rise to the top at Shrek Academy are truly geniuses?

The two old women exchanged a glance, both seeing a strange look in each other's eyes. They both coughed awkwardly twice to ease the tense atmosphere.

It's no wonder he's capable of encrypted calls; he can tell whether someone's thoughts are healthy or not with just a glance.

Old Song quickly changed the subject: "Xiao Lin, now that things have come to this, what do you think we should do?"

When this matter was mentioned, the unnatural look on Old Song's face turned into a worried expression.

The fact that Xuanzi might have a stain on his record was already a major blow to Shrek Academy, but now, with the addition of Mu En, the Sea God Pavilion Master, the situation has become even more perplexing for this old man who has lived in Shrek Academy his entire life.

The phrase "the wind howls and the grass and trees seem like soldiers" perfectly describes Mr. Song's current state.

"Huh? Me?"

"Sister Song, aren't you making things difficult for me?" Lin Huiqun covered her forehead, her face showing pain. "If you don't know what to do, then I certainly don't know either. I'm just a boss's wife who manages the chamber of commerce."

The two old women just stared at each other, completely at a loss for what to do.

"How about... we rebel?" Lin Huiqun suddenly said. "The academy is currently in a precarious situation, and it's precisely when we rise up in rebellion that the academy is in need of peace and order!"

"What do you mean, 'rebel'? Rebel against what? How dare you speak like that!" Old Song's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this. "We're not rebelling, we're clearly restoring order and pacifying the rebellion!"

"Yes, yes, to set things right and restore order, to uphold justice and quell the rebellion!" Lin Huiqun nodded with a smile.

The two old women exchanged a knowing smile, their expressions revealing a deeper meaning.

"Let us restore a clear sky to Shrek Academy!"

The two old men looked down at Shrek Academy with an air of grandeur, and the same thought from before resurfaced in their minds.

Who says the position of Sea God Pavilion Master can't be held by a woman? Who says I can't be the Sea God Pavilion Master? Even Mu En, a loser who was bewitched by an evil soul master and became her devoted follower, has been sitting in the position of Sea God Pavilion Master for a hundred years, so why can't the other two?

Who says women are inferior to men?!

Let's go for it!

pat...

Just then, the two, both highly skilled and with keen senses, heard a faint sound coming from downstairs.

The two exchanged a glance and vanished instantly, leaving only a solemn and wary remark that drifted away with the wind.

"There's a mole inside. Plans are on hold!"

……

"Sizzle..."

On the grill, several pieces of meat, brushed with seasonings and sauces, emitted an enticing aroma. The high temperature of the charcoal fire perfectly combined the meat with the seasonings, and the oil rendered out by the heat dripped onto the charcoal, making a sizzling sound that fueled the appetite. Lin Yun stood in front of the grill, wearing large sunglasses, a Dragon King-like smile playing on his lips. His hands moved swiftly, flipping the meat and smoothly brushing on layers of seasonings and sauces.

This is probably why he didn't go back to the inner courtyard immediately.

Embracing a beauty, drinking fine wine, watching the ever-changing world of Soul Masters, and waiting for the Shrek Academy members to leave and the tea to cool.

These past few days, he's been spending time with Xiao Xiao in the outer courtyard. He's also been feeding the little girl a lot of seafood that he saved from the previous sea voyage. Perhaps because she's gotten a taste for it, the little girl actually really likes garlic chili sauce oysters, a kind of "gas station food," and she always fights with Lin Yun for them.

Their fighting power every night is also quite formidable...

This made Lin Yun a little apprehensive. He was always very careful when playing games with the little girl, afraid of hurting the delicate Xiao Xiao...

After all, the two's physical qualities are on completely different levels. Even though Xiao Xiao has absorbed a 100,000-year-old soul bone, greatly enhancing her physical qualities, what kind of configuration does Lin Yun have?

With the Golden Dragon King's essence and Qi and Blood Soul Core, its Soul Power level is close to that of a Soul Saint.

Even Hyotei couldn't withstand Lin Yun's fierce attacks, let alone a little girl like Xiao Xiao.

Lin Yun felt a little uncomfortable.

He felt it was time to confront Xiao Xiao, at least to tell her his true identity, so that when she was too inept and loved to play games and couldn't keep up, he could also bring out Hyotei and play cards with the two little girls.

Otherwise, this would be too torturous.

Thinking of this, Lin Yun sighed softly, placed the already grilled meat on a plate, and put it in front of Xiao Xiao and Ning Tian.

As for why Ning Tian is here?

Originally, Lin Yun did not intend to defeat Ning Tian. No matter how powerful the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support capabilities were, it couldn't keep up with Ning Tian's rapid growth.

For example, even now, even if Ning Tian obtains her fourth soul ring, with her Soul Master cultivation, it's impossible for her to significantly improve Lin Yun's already overpowered level of titled combat strength.

Moreover, her own soul power couldn't last long; it would be drained by Lin Yun in no time.

Even if her martial soul evolves into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the essence of her martial soul will be stronger, but it will not change the fact that her soul power cultivation is insufficient. As long as her soul power cannot keep up with Lin Yun, she will only be a pretty face.

But there was nothing he could do. This girl was just too sensible and understood her own status too well. Even without the shady map, Ning Tian could accurately figure out her own position and never caused Lin Yun any trouble.

In addition, her upbringing at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School from childhood instilled in her the character of a young lady from a distinguished family—elegant, composed, gentle, and proper.

Lin Yun even felt that Ning Tian was even more outstanding than Xi Xi. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was just as capable, which explained why Tang San wasn't close to Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, but had a close relationship with Oscar and Ning Rongrong.

Sensible and capable!

If you, Tang San, can take in a dog, then I, Lin, cannot?

joke!

Lin Yun believed that if he didn't accept such a useful traitor, he would be doing himself a disservice. He was confident that as long as the traitor's power was strong enough and the benefits he offered were plentiful, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School would be even more ruthless and cruel when killing people than when killing soul beasts!

After these two days of intentional and unintentional probing, he had a pretty good idea of ​​Ning Tian's attitude.

Well… it was quite humble, wasn’t it? Her attitude towards him wasn’t much different from how Xixi treated him, just not obviously. After all, she was the young lady of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and she would use a more appropriate way to make Lin Yun gain more emotional value.

It seems that this dusty Jade Tea plant in the soul tool can be given to her now.

Looking at Ning Tian, ​​who was giving him a sweet smile, Lin Yun's eyes narrowed slightly behind his sunglasses, and his gaze became meaningful.

Taking over the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is a strategic move; if used well, it can play a significant role, but if used poorly, it won't cause him any loss.

It's just a single Jade Tea plant, nothing more than a loss for Lin Yun.

It's normal to win and lose; as long as you place a bet, you can't escape these two outcomes. But Lin Yun believes that winning and losing depends more on your skill than your luck.

Fortunately, what he has in abundance is strength.

At least that was the case when Tang San was unable to get involved in the affairs of Douluo Continent.

If Lin Yun has the power to overturn the table, he won't lose.
