Douluo Continent: Twin Golden and Silver Dragons Shock Bibi Dong

Yu Feng leaned back on the sofa, arms behind his head, his tone extremely arrogant, "Hopefully we'll have a few capable teams, instead of the ones from those previous cities that we wiped out in one wave. That would be too boring."

“Yes, our Royal Fighting Team has maintained a perfect record all the way, and there hasn’t been a single team that has forced us to use our full strength.” Osro also chimed in with a laugh.

Listening to his teammates' extremely confident, even somewhat arrogant, discussion, Qin Ming, standing to the side, frowned slightly, almost imperceptibly.

As the leader and mentor of this group of outstanding students, he was naturally happy to see his students making great strides and winning every battle.

However, a heavy stone always weighed on Qin Ming's heart.

He actually desperately wanted the Royal Fighting Team to suffer a crushing defeat in this training trip!

This is not because he is psychologically twisted and cannot stand to see his students succeed, but rather because he has the extremely long-term vision and foresight of an excellent mentor.

Because he knew all too well the backgrounds and talents of these children.

Yu Tianheng, heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family; Dugu Yan, granddaughter of Poison Douluo; Ye Lingling, the only successor of Nine Heart Begonia... Every member of this team is a top genius born with a silver spoon in their mouth and raised with flowers and applause from childhood!

Their growth trajectory was too smooth! So smooth that they almost never experienced any real setbacks!

On the path of Soul Master cultivation, talent alone is not enough; mental fortitude is often more important than the rank of one's Martial Soul.

Geniuses who have never experienced setbacks or tasted the bitterness of failure have an arrogance that is like a castle built on the sand—seemingly magnificent and grand, but actually incredibly fragile.

If they continue to win smoothly while they are still developing, their arrogance will gradually swell into fatal conceit.

If in the future, during the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies, or on a real battlefield of life and death, one suddenly encounters an extremely devastating setback...

The sheer magnitude of the fall from grace, from the heights of success to the depths of despair, would be absolutely devastating for these proud and ambitious geniuses!

It could even directly shatter their Dao heart, causing them to never recover and become completely useless.

On the contrary, if there were a team that could defeat them fairly and squarely on the arena of this Great Soul Arena, and thoroughly crush their arrogance...

The members of the Royal Fighting Team are still young, have good mental resilience, and are highly adaptable.

Experiencing setbacks at this time and recognizing the reality that there are always people more capable than oneself is definitely a great thing for their future growth.

"Ugh……"

Qin Ming sighed inwardly, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes as he looked at Yu Tianheng and the others who were still chatting and laughing.

The idea was good, but the reality was rather harsh.

Along their journey, the Soul Arena in the major cities they challenged had relatively weak Soul Master teams at the bottom level.

Occasionally, they might encounter a few passable opponents, but under the combined suppression of Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, they couldn't cause any trouble at all.

Finding a hard enough "whetstone" to teach these proud little monsters a lesson is easier said than done.

Qin Ming stood with his hands behind his back in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window in the hotel lobby, looking at the bustling streets outside the window that were gradually being shrouded in night. However, his gaze seemed to penetrate Soto City and land on a remote village outside the city.

"Judging by the time, it's been more than ten years since I graduated and left Shrek Academy..."

Qin Ming murmured to himself.

I wonder how Dean Flander and Teacher Zhao Wuji are doing now?

How many exceptional students, worthy of being called "monsters," have been recruited by the academy this year?

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Qin Ming's mind.

That's right! Shrek Academy!

If there is any place in the world that can produce geniuses and monsters who don't play by the rules and can even defeat top-level martial souls across different levels, then Shrek Academy is definitely the place to be!

Perhaps, Shrek Academy is hiding a monster genius who is even more outstanding and extreme than Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan!

If we could arrange an exchange match between the Royal Fighting Team and Shrek Academy, using those little monsters from Shrek to thoroughly hone these prodigies...

This is absolutely a perfect whetstone!

At this thought, Qin Ming could no longer contain his excitement. He turned around and said to Yu Tianheng and the others who were still chatting on the sofa:

"Tianheng, you must be tired after arriving in Soto City. Please rest well at the hotel tonight and get some rest. I have some personal matters to attend to and need to go out of the city to visit an elder I haven't seen for many years, so I won't be here tonight."

"Okay, Teacher Qin, you can go without worry." Although Yu Tianheng was a little curious, he nodded very calmly.

After giving his instructions, Qin Ming didn't waste a moment. He walked out of the Soto Hotel and, under the cover of night, his figure transformed into a gust of wind, rushing towards Shrek Academy outside the city at full speed.

……

Half an hour later.

Qin Ming stopped and, by the faint moonlight, looked at the academy gate standing at the end of a remote village.

Compared to the simple yet tidy academy in my memory, Shrek Academy in front of me hasn't changed much.

If I had to point out any difference... it would be that it's much more dilapidated than it was when he was studying here more than ten years ago.

The wooden plaque with the five large characters "Shrek Academy" engraved on it is now covered with cracks from the passage of time, hanging crookedly on the archway, as if a night breeze could blow it down.

The surrounding walls were also pitted and overgrown with weeds.

Standing before the rickety wooden plaque, Qin Ming couldn't help but let out a deeply complex sigh.

He knew Dean Flander's character all too well.

With Flander's Soul Saint cultivation level of seventy-eight, coupled with the illustrious reputation of the "Golden Iron Triangle" that once shook the continent, if he were willing to lower himself even slightly, even if it was just a tiny bit of compromise...

Whether it's those extravagant noble families, the Barak royal family who rule this land, or even the all-powerful and wealthy Spirit Hall, they would all be extremely willing to invest and sponsor Shrek Academy with large sums of gold spirit coins.

With just a nod from Flander, this dilapidated village could be transformed overnight into the most magnificent advanced soul master academy in the entire Barak Kingdom.

But Flanders was like a rock in a latrine, both smelly and hard.

He did not want to be bound by those powerful forces and complex interests, nor did he want his hard-earned genius students to prematurely wear the heavy shackles imposed by those forces.

The current situation on the mainland may seem calm, but it is actually turbulent and extremely complex.

The power struggle between the two great empires and the Spirit Hall intensifies, and the atmosphere in the entire spirit master world is eerily quiet, like the calm before a storm.

If we rashly get entangled with these deeply entrenched and powerful forces, no one knows what changes might occur tomorrow.

If you accept investment and support from these forces and take other people's money, you will inevitably be forcibly drawn into those cruel conflicts of interest and power struggles.

Once you board that ship, you will completely lose your precious freedom.

At that time, Shrek Academy's proud monster geniuses will likely become sharp knives used by others to fight for power and profit, or even pawns that can be sacrificed at any time in political games.

"Dean Flander, your pride, which you've upheld for half your life, is truly admirable, yet heartbreaking..."

Qin Ming took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and with a feeling of extreme reverence and trepidation, stepped into the dilapidated academy that held the most passionate memories of his youth.

Chapter 185 If I can't get in, none of you can have it all to yourself.

……

Meanwhile, at the Soto Grand Hotel, in a deluxe suite.

As night deepened, the bustling city of Soto gradually quieted down.

Xuan Hao dismissed the women and sent them back to their rooms to rest. He then washed up and lay down on the soft bed in a loose-fitting nightgown.

However, he did not immediately close his eyes to sleep, but instead put his hands behind his head and stared at the dim ceiling.

He was thinking about a question he hadn't been able to figure out.

"It's been so long, why hasn't that old bastard Tang Hao come knocking on our door yet?"

Xuan Hao secretly calculated in his heart. Based on his understanding of Tang Hao's protective nature, that guy was definitely not the kind of person who would obediently follow the rules, much less reason with you.

In the world of Soul Masters, those with absolute power have never talked about any nonsense or illogical principles, from ancient times to the present.

Fists and hammers are the ultimate truth.

He took Xiao Wu away, which not only severed Tang San's good marriage prospects, but also directly caused Tang San to be absent-minded and his cultivation progress to be greatly affected in the past few months.

Given Tang Hao's extreme protectiveness towards his son, how could he possibly swallow this insult? How could he not come looking for trouble for himself, the "culprit"?

However, apart from that day in the woods outside the city when Xuan Hao keenly noticed that the guy was hiding in the shadows and spying from afar, Tang Hao had completely disappeared for the past two weeks, without making any further moves!

"why?"

Xuan Hao stroked his chin, utterly perplexed. "Could it be that this old madman spent several years forging iron in Holy Soul Village and really wore down his temper? Impossible..."

"Or is it... because Rongrong is here?"

Ning Rongrong's identity is too special. Any Soul Master with a little knowledge and experience could instantly guess, upon seeing the unique "Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda" on the entire continent, that this young lady holds an extremely noble and irreplaceable core position in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

If Tang Hao were to act recklessly here and accidentally injure Ning Rongrong, it would be tantamount to declaring war on the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and risking his life against Ning Fengzhi!

At that time, given the fiercely protective tempers of Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong, they would definitely go berserk and hunt him down all over the continent!

Although Tang Hao carries the formidable title of "Haotian Douluo" and possesses terrifying combat power, he is not strong enough to take on two opponents with his broken body.

Not to mention, that guy's physical condition is terrible right now, his body is full of fatal hidden injuries left over from his battle with the Spirit Hall back then.

In his current state, he might be good at wielding a sledgehammer to scare people, or at bursting out to instantly kill a weakling.

If he were to engage in a protracted battle head-on with a peak Douluo like Chen Xin or Gu Rong, his internal injuries would likely erupt before the opponent could deliver the fatal blow, causing him to die on the spot.

"Being wary of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they dare not make a big fuss, which is understandable..."

Xuan Hao rolled over, but his brows remained furrowed. "But even if Tang Hao doesn't want to offend the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, with the methods of a dignified Haotian Douluo, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to lure me out alone quietly, or to cause me trouble when I'm alone, right?"

"Why hasn't that guy made a sound? Could it be... that Tang Hao has secretly investigated my background and knows my true identity and the forces behind me?"

Just as Xuan Hao's mind was filled with a thousand thoughts, and he was about to close his eyes and rest his mind,

"rustle……"

"Ouch……"

In the extremely quiet corridor, a very faint yet somewhat panicked noise suddenly came from outside his room!

"Ok?"

Xuan Hao's eyes narrowed, and out of vigilance and instinct, he subconsciously spread his vast spiritual power outwards from the door like ripples on water.

However, when his mental power "saw" what was happening outside the door.

Xuan Hao froze on the bed, his wariness instantly replaced by a wonderfully speechless expression that could even be described as "utterly hopeless."

All that could be seen in the corridor outside the door was...

Three girls, dressed in extremely frugal silk pajamas and tiptoeing to "crash" Xuan Hao's room, ended up... in an extremely embarrassing collision in front of Xuan Hao's door!
