Douluo Continent: Copying Ya Li, the Carefree King of the Sun and Moon

Perhaps they will end up as ordinary people, or perhaps they will achieve something in the future, but they may never forget him, the moment they mustered the courage to ask someone for help.

An angel saved the mother and child, just like a god.

Chapter 62 Gu Yuena became even more curious about Xu Yanli.

Inside the car, Huo Yuhao cautiously glanced at Xu Yanli.

"Teacher, why did you give her the money back in the end?" Huo Yuhao scratched his head and asked.

Xu Yanli leaned back in his chair, eyes closed. "What do you think?"

Huo Yuhao stroked his chin: "Because you are kind-hearted?"

Xu Yanli chuckled softly but did not reply.

Kind-hearted...

To be honest, this is the first time in my life I've heard someone praise her for being kind-hearted.

However, in his previous life, many people said he was a kind-hearted, model student.

Tang Ling chimed in from the side, "Maybe they felt sorry for that woman?"

Xu Yanli sighed, opened his eyes, looked at the two of them, and felt that neither of them had any brains, especially when it came to politics.

Xu Yanli rubbed his temples and chuckled, saying, "Have you ever heard the saying, 'A single spark can start a prairie fire'? When people at the bottom of society discover that Xiaoyao Pavilion can give them a better life, do you think they will trust our Xiaoyao Pavilion or their empire?"

“But there will definitely be those who dedicate everything to their own country,” Tang Ling said.

“Yes, they certainly exist, but in a typical feudal society, only nobles would do so,” Xu Yanli chuckled.

Success and failure both stem from keeping the people ignorant.

They knew nothing and understood nothing; all they knew was that the officials in their land were bullying and oppressing them, while someone else shone like a light on them, pulling them out of the mire.

They were illiterate and did not understand what a country was.

They only worship the god who brought them into this world, believing that working for their god will bring them a better life.

Therefore, neither the Heavenly Soul, the Fighting Spirit, nor even the more powerful Star Luo could win back these hearts that had already strayed.

As for why the nobles were unwilling, it was because it would harm their interests.

Xu Yanli looked out the window and saw that the woman who had been motionless behind him was getting further and further away, finally turning into a black dot and disappearing completely into the horizon.

Xu Yanli sighed softly, "Kindness is the least valuable thing in this world, but it is also the most valuable thing."

Xu Yanli lowered the curtains and said softly, "The key is how you use it."

Kong Deming smiled with satisfaction. To be honest, if this child were willing to fight for the throne, or if he weren't the child of the Star Luo Empire's princess, the throne would be within his grasp.

This child is superior to all the princes in every aspect, including temperament.

Meanwhile, Gu Yuena, sitting alone in the corner, listened quietly to this scene, a complex emotion flashing in her purple eyes.

She had heard too many stories about humans from Di Tian and the others—greedy, cruel, hypocritical, selfish, and far too many.

But he had never seen anyone like this before. He seemed to be scheming, yet he didn't make people feel that he was scheming. He was clearly setting up a plan, yet people were willing to follow him.

Furthermore, judging from his behavior in all aspects, he seems like a cold-blooded and ruthless person, yet he can squat down to treat a complete stranger's child.

Which one is the real him?

Gu Yuena thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, but at the same time, her curiosity about him deepened even more.

Xu Yanli caught Gu Yuena's gaze, glanced at her, and felt his head ache even more.

After pondering for a while, Huo Yuhao suddenly slapped his thigh and said with a smile, "I understand, teacher, this is to win people's hearts."

Xu Yanli paused for a moment and then stopped talking. He thought that this kid should be placed in a research and development position from now on, so he wouldn't cause trouble for others.

The convoy traveled further and further under the sun's rays, and soon the air grew colder and colder; the far north was almost within reach.

Meanwhile, Poison Undying of the Body Sect was sitting in the main seat, playing with the crystal ball given to him by Xu Yanli.

The crystal ball clearly recorded how Zhou Yi insulted the students, how she arbitrarily expelled commoner soul masters, and how she used her power to trample on the dignity of these children.

Every scene is crystal clear.

Meanwhile, Shrek Academy was announcing that the teacher had sacrificed himself to protect his students.

Incidentally, it also created a buzz for her, even giving Zhou Yi the status of a hero and allowing her to be buried.

Du Bu Si grinned as he listened to the intelligence sent by his own sect about Shrek Academy's publicity stunts.

"Old Chen, go and make another copy of this and send it to the Haotian Sect. Let them see how their young sect leader was humiliated by the Shrek Academy students. No, wait a minute. He's going to Shrek Academy."

Du Busi watched the video in his hand again and again, his smile growing ever more pronounced.

Shrek, Shrek, you've finally met your match!

This one document alone was enough to offend many people, especially since the nobles of the three great empires no longer trusted Shrek Academy.

At the same time, if this video were released, then the elite soul masters from the lower classes would not gravitate towards Shrek Academy, and the nobles would also be unwilling to send their children to Shrek Academy for fear of being humiliated in such a way.

However, given Shrek Academy's current reputation, it should be able to hold on for a while longer.

Xu Yanli was waiting. He had already sent letters to the Xiaoyao Pavilion in the major cities, informing them that once the scandals of Shrek Academy were exposed, they should immediately begin recruiting students in various places.

However, don't compete for the advanced academy; instead, compete for the junior academy first, and at the same time, voluntarily awaken martial souls for commoners from the lower classes.

As long as a child with innate full soul power is awakened, the title will be promoted by one level. If a child with soul power is awakened, gold soul coins will be awarded according to the size of the innate soul power.

If no children awaken innate soul power, there will be a certain subsidy for every ten children who awaken.

Xu Yanli was not stingy with money. After all, if you want oxen and horses to work, you have to make sure they are well-fed, right?

However, he also has a set of corresponding punishment measures, such as those for corruption.

It's a pity that there aren't enough members of the Angelic Martial Soul right now, otherwise he would have liked to form an Angelic Discipline Team.

After all, most people with the Angelic Martial Soul are righteous and holy, and can prevent such things from happening to a certain extent.

However, they haven't gathered many angel members yet. In fact, when he tried to find Yu Mengdi at the Zhengtian Academy in the original story, he found that there was no such person.

Xu Yanli already sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Where is the owner of the Angelic Martial Soul? Why is Ye Guyi the only one outside?

However, during this time, Ye Guyi was sent to other places by him, since it was quite dangerous inside Shrek Academy.

Chapter 63 The Far North

As soon as Xu Yanli and his party stepped into the far north, the carriage curtain was lifted, and everyone was stunned.

Outside, everything was a dazzling white, so clean and monotonous, as if this was the only color left in the world.

In the distance, snow-capped mountains stretched endlessly, the sky was overcast, and large snowflakes fell silently, piling up on the frozen ground and reflecting a faint glimmer of light.

"This..." Huo Yuhao peeked out, then quickly shrank back, "It's so cold!"

Xu Yanli leaned against the car window, his gaze calmly sweeping over the world covered in ice and snow.

This is the far north, and also the hometown of the Snow Emperor.

He remembered it clearly: in the original story, the Snow Empress was eventually captured by the Soul Masters of their Sun Moon Empire using the level-nine Soul Guidance Device, the Conferred God Platform.

What he couldn't understand was why it was appearing at the Star Luo Empire's auction house.

But this time, this will never happen again.

"Let's get off, the carriages ahead can't go any further." Xu Yanli withdrew his gaze and was the first to jump off the carriage.

The snow underfoot was particularly thick, and it crunched loudly with every step.

Huo Yuhao, Tang Ling, and Gu Yuena also jumped down.

Huo Yuhao shivered as soon as he landed, his teeth chattering: "Teacher, it's so cold! I feel like my soul power is about to freeze."

Tang Ling wasn't much better off, hugging her arms and shivering: "Me too... What kind of lousy place is this? How can it be so cold?"

Gu Yuena stood to the side, her purple eyes sweeping lightly over the icy world.

She was the Silver Dragon Queen, and this bit of cold was nothing to her.

But when she looked at Huo Yuhao and Tang Ling, who were shivering from the cold, and then at Xu Yanli, who looked calm, a hint of doubt crept into her eyes.

Is this guy... really just a Soul King?

Why is there no reaction at all?

Xu Yanli was certainly not cold.

His martial soul possesses both sun and moon attributes, especially the sun's primordial fire, which naturally gives him a strong resistance to extreme cold.

Furthermore, the moon's Yin energy is inherently more inclined towards extreme ice energy, but it has never absorbed ice-attribute soul rings, so this aspect has not been developed.

But what he couldn't understand was that the sun wasn't the ultimate fire...

Perhaps it's because its properties aren't pure enough...

"Teacher, aren't you cold?" Huo Yuhao's voice trembled from the cold.

Xu Yanli glanced at him, then took out a fur coat from his storage soul tool and put it on.

"It's cold," he said calmly. "I'm just pretty good at handling it."

Huo Yuhao: "..."

Tang Ling: "..."

Gu Yuena's lips twitched slightly.

This person isn't cold at all, but still insists on wearing a coat to pretend.

Really...

Kong Deming walked over from behind, looked at the children shivering from the cold, and shook his head with a smile: "Don't try to tough it out."

He took out several exquisitely crafted soul tools from his storage soul tool and handed them to Huo Yuhao, Tang Ling, and Gu Yuena respectively.

"These are thermal wristbands, level three soul tools. Once you put them on, a temperature-regulating shield will appear around your body to block the cold here," Kong Deming explained. "Put them on, the far north is no joke."

Huo Yuhao took the wristband and put it on eagerly.
