Douluo Continent: We agreed on a simulation, but they've come to life?

I always wanted to express my gratitude properly.

But unexpectedly, the boy disappeared without a trace.

Ten years have passed without any news.

He tried searching, but to no avail.

"Ugh……"

Meng Shenji shook his head helplessly.

Whether they restrained themselves or not, Dugu Yan had indeed lost to Tang San and the others, that much was undeniable. That was why they resorted to such a desperate measure, because the Heaven Dou Empire simply couldn't afford to lose face like that.

What if I go to participate in the competition and don't even make it into the top three?

That day, the Royal Academy of Dou Dizhu became a complete laughing stock.

The old emperor was indifferent and neglected his duties. Although the Crown Prince was directly under his command, he was also given more power and was not disciplined much. As a result, although the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy still had the prestige it had ten years ago, its foundation was declining day by day.

In the previous All-Continent Soul Master Competition, he was fortunate enough to win third place.

What about this time?

Can they make it into the top five?

I'm afraid it will be very difficult...

Seeing this, the students of Shrek Academy glared angrily at Poison Douluo.

Only Flander stopped Dai Mubai and the others from making their move.

He and Zhao Wuji and the others knew all too well the prestige of this senior Dugu. Originally, his body was so poisonous that no one dared to provoke him among the titled Douluo. Ten years ago, he became friends with the legendary figure Lu Cheng and gained many opportunities, allowing his cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.

He is now a well-known figure among the titled Douluo.

It is said that a few days ago, he fought a fierce battle with the Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. The battle was so intense that the sky darkened and the outcome was difficult to determine. Although the winner is unknown, it should be noted that the Sword Douluo was a level 96 Title Douluo...

On the entire continent, those who can rival him can be counted on one hand (on the surface).

Chapter 261

"In that case, we'll take our leave..."

Flander narrowed his eyes and spoke with a sly smile, like an old fox.

"We will not see you off."

Meng Shenji sighed softly, helpless in the face of the current corruption of the Tian Dou royal family. Even His Highness the Crown Prince couldn't say anything, let alone him. Everyone here was connected to the various princes and nobles of the Tian Dou Empire, their relationships were so intricate that they were simply untouchable.

It seems that the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is destined to decline.

I recall that heroic figure, standing shoulder to shoulder with the former Pope of the Spirit Hall, sweeping away all opponents with overwhelming superiority, with no one able to defeat him.

Even in the years that followed, due to that guy's terrifying influence, the entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy continued its glory for a period of time, but since he left, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy has completely declined.

Even now...

"Ugh."

Meng Shenji sighed softly, about to turn and leave.

His body suddenly stopped, stiffening and frozen in place. His eyes were glazed over as he stared blankly at the handsome man in white robes and blond hair, who looked like an immortal, and the silver-haired beauty behind him who seemed like a match made in heaven.

Even after ten years, his appearance has not changed at all.

The only difference was that her hair color changed from jet black to a dazzling gold.

Meng Shenji's unusual behavior attracted the attention of many people around him. When they followed his gaze, many of them were instantly stunned.

The younger disciples, including the Shrek Seven Devils, were only surprised by the newcomer's appearance and demeanor, while Flander and the others felt a chill run down their spines, as if a cold shiver ran from their feet to the top of their heads.

Although I had never seen this person before, the mere sense of oppression was enough to suffocate me instantly, as if I had fallen into an ice cave.

It was even more terrifying than the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo standing to the side.

Who is this ridiculously young guy?!

"Committee Member Meng, it's been a long time..."

Lu Cheng glanced at Meng Shenji, a warm smile appearing on his lips.

"You, you...you're still alive?" Meng Shenji's throat bobbed, and in an instant he was beside Lu Cheng, looking him up and down, his eyes gradually filling with tears. This guy was once the only enshrined member of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, personally appointed by Emperor Xue Ye.

When he was alive, the atmosphere at the entire Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was not so decadent and corrupt. All the young disciples regarded him as an idol. The weak were not worthy of entering the academy to study. Even if you were the son of a duke, if you didn't have enough talent, you didn't have enough talent. With him in charge, no one dared to say anything.

In fact, his sculpture still stands in the very heart of the academy.

At that time, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was incredibly prestigious.

Now, after disappearing for ten years, he has finally returned. During these ten years, rumors have been circulating on the mainland, but the mainstream opinion is that he has died somewhere. After all, even among the golden generation of decades ago, Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, and Poseidon, only one of them is still known, while the fate of the other two remains unknown.

Many Soul Master researchers agree that these Limit Douluo level powerhouses will silently die while pursuing higher levels, such as godhood.

No one in this world can harm them anymore, not even by encirclement and suppression; only the legendary gods can do so.

Therefore, Lu Cheng must be dead.

Otherwise, why would he abandon his friend's daughter, his family, and disappear completely...?

“Commissioner Meng is joking. No one in this world can kill me.”

Lu Cheng said with a smile.

Although his words were arrogant, they revealed a sense of natural ease and familiarity.

And once this statement was made, no one refuted it.

Even the plump prince on one side was pale-faced, his head hanging low, not daring to speak. He knew Lu Chengtian's status as an honorary retainer of the Royal Academy, and he also knew his position in the eyes of Emperor Xue Ye. Moreover...

Given the other party's status, even if they beat me up badly today...

Dugu Bo, who was standing beside him, would never stop him, and Emperor Xueye would not utter a single word of punishment.

The significance of a Limit Douluo is unimaginable to ordinary people.

"This guy... isn't he afraid of biting off more than he can chew?" Dai Mubai said in a low voice, putting his arm around the fat man's shoulder and playfully teasing him.

"..." The fat man's small eyes darted around, and noticing the strange atmosphere around him, he didn't dare to respond and just gave an awkward smile.

Flander's expression changed drastically.

He never expected that Dai Mubai, whom he had taught that "not causing trouble is not the mark of a Shrek disciple," would actually get into such huge trouble at this moment.

Clearly, he had seen the sculpture when he passed by the academy gate on his way here. It was exactly the same as the man in front of him. The only person who could be so grandly sculpted at the gate of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was probably the one who had dominated the continent a few years ago.

Mocking a Limit Douluo...

Seriously, I want to die.

"What, do you have a problem with this?" Lu Cheng turned his head, his gaze passing directly over Flander and the others, landing on Dai Mubai, his face still bearing a warm smile.

Although he disdains to meddle with such insignificant people, it doesn't mean he can tolerate such arrogant and overbearing behavior.

The atmosphere around them suddenly fell silent.

Prince Xue was overjoyed. He was indeed a pig-like opponent. He had been worried that his interference in the admissions of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy would lead to a lesson from this person, but now it seemed that his worries were completely unnecessary.

Those arrogant brats on the other side just self-destructed!!

Dugu Bo stood with his hands in his pockets, observing everything with a playful expression, showing no intention of interfering.

For him, Lu Cheng's appearance was definitely a happy event, so he would wait until Lu Cheng finished dealing with these matters before they could catch up properly.

“Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, this child does not recognize your identity, which is why he spoke so arrogantly. As his teacher, I apologize to you on his behalf, how about it?” Flander’s throat bobbed, and he quickly forced a smile, speaking with extreme humility.

"..."

Tang San, who was in the group, also looked at Flander and this mysterious man who looked young with some surprise.

Your Majesty?

This is used to address someone of extremely high status.

Even ordinary titled Douluo don't have this qualification.

He's either a powerful leader of a force, or...

"Dragon Emperor Douluo..."

The rest of the Shrek Seven Devils looked bewildered, but Ning Rongrong chewed on a few words, her light pink eyes widened suddenly, and when she looked at Lu Cheng, all that remained in her eyes was horror.

She glanced at Dai Mubai, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't speak.

Instead, they took a few steps back.

She and Dai Mubai had no real enmity. Back then, during the Shrek Academy incident, he even harbored murderous intent towards her, so there must have been some grudge between them. It was only through the persuasion of Tang San and others that their relationship gradually improved.

To call it harmony... is far from the truth.

Therefore, reminding the other party would only expose oneself to the emperor's gaze, and might even cause resentment.

The intelligence inherited from the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School flew by at this moment.

Chapter 262

“Flander? I’ve heard of you before. Back in the day, the Iron Triangle was a household name on the mainland…” Lu Cheng said with a smile.

"You flatter me, sir. My skills are nothing to boast about, haha." Flander scratched his head and smiled.

Just as Zhao Wuji, Yu Xiaogang, and the others breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Cheng suddenly changed his tone and sneered, "You know your name, Flander, is worthless? You still dare to ask me for face?"

"..."

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Lu Cheng stood there, but in the eyes of Flanders and Zhao Wuji, he appeared as a mountain, gradually growing thicker and larger, while they were as insignificant as ants, trembling with fear before him.

"Dragon, Your Majesty the Dragon God, what are you doing...?"

"It's me who's been silent for ten years, yet even a mere brat dares to spout such nonsense. Flander, what a fine disciple you've trained!" Lu Cheng chuckled, his hands still behind his back. Flander and the others, however, instantly coughed up blood, forced to their knees by an invisible pressure.

Even the ground gradually cracked, causing many Shrek teachers' legs to sink into the mud.

"Pfft~" Flander coughed up blood, his face filled with terror.
