Douluo Dragon King: Doumu's Blessing, I Am the Star Lord

According to my sources, Qian Gu Xing Ci is at least a level five blacksmith.

An old man standing nearby said, "You old madman, ten years old, a level five blacksmith? Don't try to fool us."

Feng Wuyu glared and puffed out his beard, "This is the definite information I received. Although he hasn't made a public appearance, Zhenhua firmly believes that the child will be the next generation of master craftsmen."

Yun Ming pondered, "We absolutely cannot fall out with the Divine Craftsman. We should consider this matter carefully."

"Now that things have come to this, let's adjourn the meeting. Send in the media relations team, and everyone should carefully consider a solution."

After the old man left, Ya Li looked at her thoughtful husband and asked with concern, "Brother Ming, is there anything else?"

“I have a bad feeling about this,” Yun Ming said in a deep voice.

At Yun Ming's level, their intuition is very accurate. This feeling indicates that something major is about to happen that would be detrimental to the academy.

On the 107th floor of the Spirit Pagoda, in the tower master's office...

Qian Gu Dongfeng's fingers flew across the Soul Guidance Keyboard, his face filled with barely suppressed excitement as he furiously wrote down his criticisms of Shrek Academy.

The words are sharp and incisive, detailing how Shrek Academy is not worthy of its reputation. It also brings up old stories, listing the casualties caused by Yunming's attack on Mingdu. Every word is piercing.

As he wrote with great enthusiasm, Qian Gu Dong Feng couldn't help but sigh inwardly, feeling as if his thoughts were flowing like a spring of divine inspiration, and the words on his pen flowed endlessly.

Simply put, Shrek's behavior has always been too abstract.

This statement, once officially released by the Spirit Tower, instantly caused a huge uproar on the mainland.

In an instant, a wave of criticism against Shrek Academy swept across the entire continent, with various forces speaking out, seeking revenge for their grudges and settling scores for those they had wronged. The Spirit Pagoda took the lead, and various forces in the Federation also seized the opportunity to echo it, resulting in almost one-sided public opinion on the Soul Network.

On the other side, in an elegant courtyard, Qian Gu Xing Ci, Gu Yue, and Na Er were gathered together in a relaxed and leisurely atmosphere, completely different from the frenzy outside.

Qian Gu Xing Ci wore a white robe with gold patterns, the sleeves of which hung lightly, exuding an air of understated nobility.

Beside her, Gu Yue wore a plain white dress, her dark hair hanging loosely with only a white ribbon tied at the ends. She rested her elbow on her hand, her eyes lowered, exuding a serene and indifferent air.

Na'er wore a short, orange-pink outfit, her silver hair styled in a high bun, with a few strands of silver hair sticking up from the top.

Qian Gu Xing Ci looked at the soul guide communicator in his hand, casually swiped the soul network interface, and sighed, "The soul network is full of trending topics about Shrek Academy. It's hard to find anything else to browse."

Na'er fiddled with the communicator, her little face scrunched up: "I clearly searched for local delicacies in Mingdu, but all that popped up were Shrek's news. It's so annoying."

Gu Yue raised her fingertip and projected the content of the Soul Guidance Computer screen in front of her directly into the air. The pale blue light screen clearly reflected the interface.

"A list of young geniuses?" Na'er glanced at it, then looked at Gu Yue speechlessly. "Why are you looking at this?"

Gu Yue's azure eyes remained calm and undisturbed, and her cool voice rang out softly: "We've made the list."

As she finished speaking, her fingertips slid lightly across the list, which slowly unfolded: "Xing Ci is sixth, I am ninth, and you are fifteenth."

Qian Gu Xing Ci's gaze fell on the code names following the list, his eyes pausing slightly—

Star Emperor, a timeless lament for the stars.

Elements, Ancient Moon.

Silver Dragon, Na'er.

Na'er saw her code name and ranking at a glance and immediately flew into a rage, puffing out her cheeks and shouting, "I don't understand! We're all playing together, so why are you ranked so much higher than me!"

"You are a Soul Master." Gu Yue added casually, leaving Na'er speechless.

I feel that the accent of a certain Principal Jiang is somewhat similar to Na'er's.

Qian Gu Xing Ci coughed lightly, interrupting the two, and said, "It's not time for the rankings to be updated normally yet, so why the sudden update?"

"It was the tower master who did it." Gu Yue said succinctly, a hint of understanding flashing in her eyes. Apart from Qian Gu Dong Feng, who else would use the hype to push the three of them onto the list so quickly?

"Oh, my uncle's terrible naming skills." Qian Gu Xing Ci had many more suitable names in his mind.

Gu Yue glanced at him sideways, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, her tone playful: "So, what kind of codename would our 'Star Emperor' like?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Xing Ci spoke in a serious tone, uttering a startling statement: "The Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven Ziwei or the Great Emperor of the Upper Palace of Gouchen."

Gu Yue was speechless for a moment, her eyes filled with disbelief—who exactly infected Xing Ci with such a chuunibyou (delusional) mentality?

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the silver-haired little fool pouting beside her, and the answer was obvious.

"Code names are usually two characters long," Gu Yue coldly pointed out, showing no mercy.

Qian Gu Xing Ci was taken aback, and quickly waved his hand: "No, just kidding, you're really planning to help me change it?"

Na'er had long since forgotten her dissatisfaction with the ranking; her attention was entirely focused on her code name. As if some kind of excitement switch had been flipped, she tugged at Gu Yue's sleeve and said, "Gu Yue, Gu Yue, my code name is Silver Dragon! Isn't it super cool!"

Looking at her overjoyed expression, Gu Yue thought of how he had been the Silver Dragon King his whole life but was only an "Elementalist," and compared that to Na'er's "Silver Dragon," he felt a surge of anger in his heart and gritted his teeth, saying, "So what if I'm a Silver Dragon? I'm ranked higher than you."

Qian Gu Xing Ci inadvertently noticed that Gu Yue's ear tips were flushed with a faint blush, like a ripe apple, standing out conspicuously beneath her dark hair.

He couldn't help but chuckle, but then he saw Gu Yue turn her face away, her fingers clenched tightly, silently repeating in her heart: This is her other half, don't be angry, don't be angry, don't argue with an idiot!

Chapter 14 I don't understand, Long Yeyue, who has achieved a second victory, is the first person to attack the Spirit Pagoda.

Three days later

The Spirit Pagoda Conference Room.

Upon receiving the message, Qian Gu Xing Ci, Gu Yue, and Na Er rushed over and found Qian Gu San Ji Xian, Leng Yao Zhu, and Xia Zheng Leng already sitting and waiting.

The first-place guest, Qian Gu Die Ting, smiled and raised his hand: "Come and sit down, everyone."

Leng Yaozhu spoke first: "Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li just visited. She represents Yun Ming's will and is willing to pay a price in hopes that we will cooperate in suppressing public opinion. What do you think?"

“This little thing alone won’t shake Shrek Academy. We might as well make them bleed a little,” Qian Gu Dongfeng chimed in, and the others nodded in agreement.

Qian Gu Xing Ci suddenly frowned: "Wait, Aunt Leng, representing Yun Ming? Shouldn't this matter be handled by Shrek Academy or the Sea God Pavilion?"

“I reckon those elders haven’t come up with a plan yet.” Qian Gu Dongfeng interrupted as soon as Leng Yaozhu finished speaking. He had barely uttered the word “Yao” when Leng Yaozhu shot him a sharp look. He quickly changed his words, “Vice Tower Master Leng, you still don’t understand them. Those elders must have proposed some earth-shattering plan, which Yun Ming suppressed, so they sent Ya Li over.”

Qian Gu Die Ting and Qian Gu Qing Feng exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with disappointment and frustration—how could their Qian Gu clan produce such a love-obsessed person?

Qian Gu Die Ting cleared his throat, his gaze swept over everyone, and finally landed on Qian Gu Dong Feng: "Then think carefully about what conditions to offer."

The ancient east wind, being watched, suddenly felt a chill run down its spine and fell silent.

"The Shrek Academy group has no bottom line in their actions, but they value their reputation the most. In my opinion, a 100,000-year-old soul bone, plus some rare and precious natural treasures, is more substantial," said Qian Gu Qingfeng.

Xia Zheng Leng secretly pinched him and said in a low voice, "This matter ultimately stems from the children, so why not let Xing Ci, Gu Yue, and Na'er make their own decisions?"

Everyone echoed this sentiment.

The three children huddled together and whispered for a moment. Qian Gu Xing Ci looked up and asked, "If we exchange the rare and precious treasures for three spots for enlightenment through the Golden Tree, is there any hope of winning them?"

"Entering the Golden Tree almost guarantees deep meditation, a benefit far exceeding that of rare and precious treasures for us," Gu Yue added in a cool voice.

Na'er blinked her big, watery eyes and nodded vigorously in agreement.

"Impossible!" Qian Gu Dongfeng immediately retorted, "Shrek regards the Golden Tree as its lifeblood and has never allowed outsiders to set foot inside."

Qian Gu Die Ting shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Not necessarily. For the Golden Tree, which has already reached the god level, the students entering to cultivate will consume almost nothing. For Shrek Academy, it won't even be considered a loss. This condition is worth trying to negotiate."

Gu Yue looked up at Leng Yaozhu and said softly, "Teacher, my father sent a message asking me to return to Donghai City. If possible, he would like to bring Xingci and Na'er with me. Na'er's silver dragon bloodline is related to my elemental control, and my father wants to meet her. In addition, there is a ferocious beast soul bone in the family that is compatible with Xingci."

Qian Gu Die Ting looked at Gu Yue and asked in a deep voice, "Gu Yue, what are Xing Ci's conditions for obtaining this ferocious beast soul bone? If your family needs anything, just name it."

Gu Yue's ears turned a faint blush, and her voice carried a hint of shyness. She lowered her eyes and said softly, "Just like what my teacher and Uncle Qingfeng discussed before, that's fine. I have no other requirements."

Qian Gu Die Ting was just as bewildered as Louis XVI upon seeing this.

Xia Zheng smiled slightly in her cold eyes and glanced at Leng Yaozhu: "Father, it is I, Yaozhu, and Gu Yue's mother, Zilong Douluo, who intend to arrange a marriage between Xingci and Gu Yue."

Leng Yaozhu lowered her eyes to hide the slight ripple in them, her fingertips gently stroking the rim of the cup.

Qian Gu Die Ting was slightly taken aback, looking somewhat surprised, before his gaze fell on Qian Gu Xing Ci and Gu Yue. The young man and woman were both talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven. He naturally agreed to this marriage.

With a slight shift of his gaze, the old tower master glanced at the lively and charming Na'er beside him. He had no feudalistic thoughts whatsoever. Instead, he thought to himself: "With Xing Ci's talent and martial spirit, it would be best if more people could inherit his bloodline and help the Qian Gu family to flourish."

Leng Yaozhu spoke up at the right moment, her voice calm: "Old Tower Master, the Gu Yue family's ancestors had a deep connection with soul beasts and also hope to participate in soul spirit research."

Qian Gu Die Ting stroked his beard and smiled, completely unconcerned: "What's so difficult about that? Dong Feng, I'll leave this matter to you."

The eternal east wind should be acknowledged.

Qian Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly: "Father, isn't it a bit unwise to go out at this time?"

Qian Gu Die Ting waved his hand, his tone resolute: "It's good to let them go out for a stroll. Let Tian Feng go with them; they'll be safe. We don't need the children to stay here to deal with Shrek's affairs."

The following day, Shrek Academy, Sea God Pavilion.

Just as Yun Ming was about to initiate the council meeting, a streak of black and white light suddenly pierced the sky above the academy and disappeared into the horizon in an instant, unnoticed by anyone.

Before all the attendees had arrived, Cai Yue'er could no longer contain herself. She slammed her hand on the table and stood up, her voice filled with a mixture of passion and indignation, piercing through the dome of the Sea God Pavilion: "I don't understand!"

Six top students from Shrek Academy, fighting against three unknown brats—how could they possibly lose?! It must be that brat from the Sun Moon Empire, and the Spirit Pagoda, pulling strings behind the scenes! If it weren't for Shrek Academy's reputation as the guardians of the continent, how could the Federation maintain its rule? The Spirit Pagoda is nothing but a place that sells soul spirits; how dare they be so audacious…”

Seeing this, Ya Li quickly stepped forward and gently tugged at Cai Yue'er's sleeve, her tone urgent and helpless: "Yue'er, be careful what you say! You can't say such things carelessly." She glanced at Yun Ming's face beside her and thought that Brother Ming's face was almost completely black. If she continued to make a scene, he might get angry.

Although Cai Yue'er's anger had not subsided after being stopped by Ya Li, she saw Yun Ming's expression and reluctantly sat back down, temporarily calming down.

Yun Ming rubbed his throbbing temples, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice, "Has Sister Yue not arrived yet? Yue'er, go and find her."

As soon as Cai Yue'er stepped out of the Sea God Pavilion, Yun Ming's soul-guided communicator on his waist rang urgently. He pressed the answer button, and Guan Yue's slightly flustered voice immediately came through: "Senior brother! Sister Yue went to the Federal Parliament and slapped the Speaker in public. She's heading towards the Spirit Pagoda now!"

These words struck Yun Ming like a bolt from the blue, causing his expression to change drastically and the atmosphere around him to instantly become tense.

"Everyone, follow me to the Spirit Pagoda! Sister Yue has already attacked!" Before Yun Ming finished speaking, he had already rushed out of the Sea God Pavilion, his tone full of urgency—he could still manage to clean up the mess after attacking the Federation Speaker.

However, Long Yeyue broke into the Spirit Pagoda. Given her old grudge with Qian Gu Die Ting, if she had arrived even a moment later, this Light and Dark Douluo would probably have been erased from the continent.

On the other side, at the main gate of the Spirit Pagoda.

The black and white streak of light crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. Long Yeyue stood with her hands behind her back, her black and white outfit accentuating her imposing aura. She raised her eyes to look at the towering Spirit Pagoda, her voice booming like thunder: "Qian Gu Die Ting, get out here for me!"

As soon as the words were spoken, all the Title Douluos in the Spirit Pagoda instantly sensed this domineering and unparalleled aura of soul power, and were first shocked—this was the aura of the Light and Dark Douluo!

Without a moment's delay, they all leaped into the air and gathered at the main gate of the Spirit Pagoda, their expressions solemn as they locked onto Long Yeyue below.

Qian Gu Dongfeng, clad in a brocade robe, led the powerful figures of the Spirit Pagoda, standing in mid-air, his gaze coldly fixed on Long Yeyue, his soul power quietly circulating around him; while in the secret chamber on the 108th floor of the Spirit Pagoda, a powerful and overwhelming soul power was quietly gathering momentum, like a lava volcano about to erupt, ready to sweep across the heavens and earth in an instant.

Long Yeyue raised her eyes, her gaze passing over Qian Gu Dongfeng, her tone arrogant and unrestrained: "Qian Gu Dongfeng, let Qian Gu Die Ting come out to see me."

There was not a single word in response to her; instead, a gigantic staff, thousands of feet long, crashed down from the top of the Spirit Transmission Tower!

The staff's light, like a towering jade pillar, collapsed, its blazing golden light tearing through the sky. Space crumbled inch by inch under the immense pressure of the giant staff, and dark void rifts spread for thousands of miles like a spider web. The earth trembled slightly under this power.

On the staff, a giant dragon, its body blazing white and its scales gleaming with a purifying light, suddenly soared into the sky.

The dragon's body was ten thousand feet long, and its eyes were like two divine lamps. When it opened its mouth, it spewed out a pure white dragon breath that could purify all evil, carrying with it the supreme power of fighting against heaven and earth, and rushed straight towards Long Yeyue.
