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

The boy opposite him, with his gentle smile, had long since grown into someone even he couldn't fathom.

The player in this game has long since changed.

But... when did it start?

……

Chapter 34 The war begins, the sun

"Didn't Elder Mu already guess that?"

Lu Cheng's smile remained warm.

But in the eyes of Xuanzi, Mu En, Du Busi and others, it was chilling to the bone. A level 96 Super Douluo, a figure who could be ranked among the top in the entire continent, had just disappeared.

Moreover, it stirred up a particularly turbulent storm in Moon's heart.

He was the one who knew Yan Shaozhe's background best. Even Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui would have a hard time killing their disciple. After all, Phoenix Nirvana's life-saving ability was heaven-defying. Not only could it rewind life, but it could also place the location of its rebirth in a place from a certain period of time ago.

Even Ye Xishui, who also possesses the Martial Soul of the Phoenix of Light, had not been able to discover this move.

"I never expected this..."

Mu En looked at the spirited young man with a complicated expression. The boy's childish and frightened appearance from that night had completely faded away, and he had become a calm and composed person who controlled the lives and deaths of countless people with every move.

He has become a player in the game, just like everyone else.

Heaven and earth transformed into a vast chessboard.

Everyone present was represented by a black or white chess piece.

The young man stood behind the crowd, facing him from a distance, and each placed a chess piece.

Using Zhang Lexuan as bait and taking advantage of Yan Shaozhe's greedy nature, they lured the snake out of its hole and headed to Sunset Forest. Their aim was to first reduce Shrek Academy's high-end combat power and gradually erode it. The fact that the Holy Spirit Cult has now mobilized all its members to launch a night raid on Shrek further confirms this.

But... he felt something was off.

Looking at the boy's warm smile, he felt a chill run down his spine.

What exactly have I forgotten?!

But the Holy Spirit Church wouldn't give him time to think it over.

"Let's do it, Elder Long..." Lu Cheng lowered his eyelids, his smile slowly fading as he looked down indifferently at Shrek Academy and spoke softly.

Long Xiaoyao took a step forward, his dragon roar resounding throughout the entire Shrek Academy. He stood on the head of a massive black dragon and charged straight at it.

"Long Xiaoyao, Xuanzi and I will meet you!" Du Busi chuckled and took to the air with Xuanzi. The dark green giant and the Taotie Divine Ox, both martial spirit true bodies, were equally unwilling to be outdone and fought against the black dragon.

At the same time, dozens of black-robed figures swept in from behind Lu Cheng, clashing with dozens of powerful figures from Shrek Academy, Body Sect, and other organizations.

Black and white divide the sky into two distinct camps.

"Xishui..."

Moon looked at his former lover with a complicated expression.

"Moun, no need for further words. Destroy your Shrek Academy, and my Holy Spirit Cult will dominate the entire continent. We were once driven from the original continent by Shrek, but now… hahahahaha!"

Ye Xishui lifted her cloak, revealing a stunningly beautiful face. As a Limit Douluo, time had not left many marks on her face; she still looked the same as Mu En remembered.

"The Tower of Death!"

Ye Xishui gave a low shout, and a rumbling sound of metal rubbing and turning came from behind him. Then a giant tower a hundred meters tall appeared behind him. The tower had more than a hundred floors, each floor imprisoning countless wronged souls. They roared, raged, and howled, trying to break out of the tower, but they were always suppressed and locked inside by the tower, struggling in vain.

"Death Ray!"

The bottom dozen or so floors of the Tower of Death instantly went dark, and the wronged souls within became consumables, serving as the energy source for the Tower of Death to fire once.

"Boom!"

A jet-black ray, radiating an aura of annihilation, shot straight from the top of the Tower of Death, piercing towards Moon.

"Ugh……"

Moon sighed softly and tapped the ground lightly with his long staff.

The golden tree emitted a dazzling light, and countless energies surged into his body. His white hair gradually turned pale gold, and his hunched body became more upright.

"Dragon Emperor Shatters Evil!"

A divine dragon of light appeared behind him, its head held high, its vertical pupils looking down contemptuously at all evil spirits in the world. It exuded an extremely rich holy aura, and with each breath, it was as if a god had descended to earth. With a raised dragon claw, it easily crushed the beam of death light.

"A final burst of energy before death."

Ye Xishui's eyes glazed over for a moment. The once spirited and powerful man who suppressed the continent seemed to have returned, but in the end, it was just a fleeting moment.

By drawing upon the power of the ancient golden tree, Mu En was also overdrawing his own life force. His body was already riddled with holes, and his life force was constantly dissipating. The fact that he had survived until now was thanks to the efforts of Elder Zhuang in healing him.

"Moun, is it worth it for the academy behind you?"

“Xi Shui, don’t say any more…” Mu En said softly, “You know that Shrek Academy is everything to me. If you want to take Shrek away, you’ll have to step over me first.”

Moon's eyes gradually hardened, carrying a murderous intent.

The fact that he's revealing his hand means he's prepared to go down with him.

……

"Lu Cheng, today is your end!"

A huge azure divine eagle appeared behind Old Man Song, its cry shaking the heavens. Then, the old woman transformed into a blue shadow and attacked Lu Cheng directly.

"Is Old Song only talking to me?"

Lu Cheng smiled as he sized up Song Yunzhi, the top agility-type Soul Master at Shrek Academy, who unleashed her full power and launched a surprise attack on him.

The speed was so fast that even he was somewhat dazed.

His arm was struck instantly, leaving a deep, bone-piercing wound from which bright red blood flowed.

But Lu Cheng's eyes remained warm as he chuckled and said, "Old Song's eagle prowess is still as strong as ever."

"Enough with the nonsense, just die!" Old Song's face was filled with anger, and he exuded a strong killing intent.

The more they favored this boy back then, the deeper their hatred now becomes. Without exception, all the elders regarded him as Shrek Academy's only hope, but...

He betrayed them completely.

"Mom, I'm here to help you!" Xian Lin'er activated her Valkyrie mode, wielding a long spear as she transformed into a shooting star.

Both mother and daughter are Super Douluo, and they share a tacit understanding.

They came from both the left and right.

They blocked Lu Cheng's escape route.

"Aren't you going to release your Martial Soul? Trying to withstand it with your physical body?" Song Yunzhi sneered, with a hint of mockery.

"Boy, even if you can use the Holy Spirit Cult to kill Shao Zhe, it doesn't mean that you, a Title Douluo, can withstand my attacks."

"Title Douluo?"

Lu Cheng smiled.

"Old Song has probably misunderstood something..."

"I broke through to the Super Douluo realm long ago."

The words fell.

A terrifying aura surged from Lu Cheng's body, as if it originated from the wilderness, carrying a strong sense of antiquity and antiquity, as if it had been conceived at the beginning of the creation of the world.

It's like the sun in the sky suddenly falling to earth.

At this moment, the three-legged golden crow that had materialized behind Lu Cheng also began to form the outline of a great sun...

"What on earth is this?!"

Xianlin'er stared blankly at this scene.

"That three-legged golden crow is the sun itself!" Old Song's pupils suddenly contracted as he realized the truth.

Chapter 35 Self-Destruction, Suspicious Points

"Why is that three-legged golden crow so powerful?!"

The Shrek Academy's inner court disciples looked bewildered, yet also with a hint of indescribable shock.

Many people looked at Wu Ming.

She is also a Golden Crow, so why is the gap between the two of them... bigger than a dog's?

"How would I know!" Wu Ming blushed, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed. "Maybe... it was just a three-legged golden crow?"

Shrek Academy's exploration of the Golden Crow is still too limited.

After all, no one knew that it was actually the sun itself. Even Moon only regarded it as a strange bird that controlled a relatively powerful flame, and never approached the sun at all.

But now...

Until Lu Cheng fully revealed the true form of the three-legged golden crow.

"There's nothing I can do. Even if I knew the secret of the Golden Crow Martial Soul, I couldn't uncover it." Wu Ming looked up at the figure hidden in the sun in the sky, as well as the three-legged Golden Crow, his eyes filled with melancholy and emotion.

"My talent is far from enough..."

"Only he can reveal the true power of the Golden Crow."

As she spoke, she could even feel the martial spirit within her body stirring restlessly, as if it also wanted to ascend to the heavens, to circle around that great sun, and to bow down to its breath.

"..."

Upon hearing this, the inner courtyard disciples around them wore complex expressions.

If they could, who would want to be his enemy?

"Playing tricks? If that's the case, then let this old woman test your true strength!" Old Song's eyes twitched, and the azure divine eagle behind him transformed into a blue shadow at a speed imperceptible to ordinary people, suddenly attacking Lu Cheng from behind.

But the next moment.

Lu Cheng remained calm. Before anyone knew it, a fire bow had appeared in his palm, and with his other hand, he held three arrows with two fingers, slowly releasing them.

The three arrows transformed into three golden crows.
