Douluo: Dragon King: Natural God King

Chapter 359: Adulthood! (4.5k) (ask for monthly pass!)

The day before Jing Shaoyu’s eighteenth birthday, Yun Ming returned to Shrek Academy.

"Brother Ming, how is it? Have you found any clues?" Yali asked with a hint of worry and expectation in her eyes.

"Not much." Yun Ming shook his head helplessly and said, "I've asked Ah Yue to help keep an eye on it. He has more contacts with senior federal officials in Mingdu than we do, and knows more about the three level 12 fixed-type soul guide shells. If there is any movement, he will notify us immediately."

Although Mr. Jin's words were vague, as the person standing at the top of the Federation, Yun Ming immediately locked onto the soul guide shell that could raze Shrek Academy to the ground.

"Yeah." Yali nodded, and then said in a low voice, "Brother Ming, is it possible that Mr. Jin's premonition is wrong? Is it true that a powerful person from the Federation would collude with the evil soul master to attack the academy? There is no reason for them to do this?"

"Don't jump to conclusions!" Yun Ming said solemnly, "Mr. Jin wouldn't do something without a purpose, and I'm also a little uneasy, so there must be some villains secretly plotting against the academy, so don't be careless!"

"Alas!" Yali sighed, "These are troubled times. If there really is someone in the Federation who is colluding with the evil soul master to steal the twelfth-level fixed-type soul guide shells, it will be a disaster for the entire Federation! I hope no one will be so unwise!"

Yun Ming nodded thoughtfully, "That makes sense, but we can't control everyone's thoughts. After all, people's minds are the most unpredictable thing! For example, when the Federation decided to overdraw resources to manufacture those three level 12 soul guide shells, didn't the Tang Sect and the Spirit Pagoda oppose it at that time?"

"I remember that generation of Poseidon Pavilion was supportive, right?" Yali said with a strange expression.

"Yes, the Pavilion Master of that generation actually wanted to suppress the Spirit Pagoda and the Tang Sect through this method, because at that time the technology of the Tang Sect and the Spirit Pagoda developed too rapidly and terrifyingly, causing the academy to feel out of control. So when the Federation proposed to develop a 12th-level fixed-type soul guide shell, the Sea God Pavilion immediately chose to support it," Yun Ming said with a wry smile.

"Indeed, after the development of the 12th-grade soul-guided cannonballs, the technology of the Tang Sect and the Spiritual Pagoda has come to a standstill. But if that Pavilion Master knew that these three 12th-grade soul-guided cannonballs have become the academy's most important weapon, I wonder if he would feel that he has been trapped in his own trap!"

"I think that Pavilion Master may have thought of this outcome," Yali analyzed, "After all, the three Level 12 fixed-type soul guide shells were developed at the same time. If they really just wanted to suppress the Tang Sect and the Spirit Pagoda, wouldn't it be enough to make one? However, they directly made three. I think this is also to give the Federation a means of checks and balances."

"Three shots, three major organizations, haha." Yun Ming smiled helplessly and said, "We didn't pay enough attention to the 12th-level fixed-type soul guide shells before. Fortunately, it's not too late now. If we really wait until it explodes, it will be too late."

"Yes." Yali nodded in agreement, and then said, "Then should we alert the Tang Sect and the Spiritual Pagoda? If the 12th-level fixed-type soul guide shells are really stolen, then all three of us may be potential targets."

"Tang Sect can, as for the Spirit Pagoda," Yun Ming pondered, "you can remind Leng Yaozhu that I don't trust Qiangu Dongfeng."

It is no secret that Yun Ming lacks a favorable impression of Qiangu Dongfeng. In fact, members of the Sea God Pavilion lack a favorable impression of the people of the Qiangu family, because the Spirit Transferring Pagoda was in the hands of Qiangu Dieting, the old patriarch of the Qiangu family, and it began to escape the control of Shrek Academy, although Shrek Academy itself was largely responsible for this.

However, the higher-ups of Shrek Academy don't think so. In their view, it's just that the Qiangu family's ambitions are too big, and it's wrong for you to want to break away from the control of Shrek Academy. The Tang Sect has been controlled by the academy like that, but they haven't developed any rebellious thoughts. And yet, your Spirit Pagoda wants to go solo just because of a slap. All the resources that Shrek Academy invested in the early stages have been wasted. You really can't tame them!

In this regard, Qiangu Dieting, the former master of the Spirit Pagoda, expressed his grievance, saying, “Although I am dissatisfied with the academy, I am still a Shrek member!”

"Okay," Yali didn't comment on the grievances between the previous generations of the Spiritual Pagoda and the Sea God Pavilion. She also didn't know much about Qiangu Dongfeng, so she chose to ignore it and said directly, "Tomorrow is Ayu's eighteenth birthday. Tianfeng should be here. Just tell her then."

"Shao Yu is already eighteen years old, it's going on so fast!" Yun Ming heard this, the gloom on his face disappeared, replaced by a heartfelt smile, and said, "In a few years, I can retire!"

"Yes," Yali said with pride, "A few days ago, he and Muzi had a sparring match. Under the premise that neither side used battle armor, Muzi was unable to defeat him!"

"Really?!" Yun Ming was surprised when he heard that. He knew that Jing Shaoyu was very strong, but he didn't expect it to be to this extent. Lan Muzi was the younger generation he had always been optimistic about. If Jing Shaoyu could already be on par with Lan Muzi now, then he could really retire with peace of mind.

"Of course," Yali said with a smile, "Ayu is now at level 65 in soul power. After the Sea God Fate, let them go to Devil Island again. It will not be a problem for them to become a soul fighter before the age of 20."

"Is that so? Hahaha!" Yun Ming's eyes lit up and he laughed happily. "It seems like my retirement is just around the corner!"

"Brother Ming, when Ayu takes over the position of Pavilion Master, we will go to Xingluo Continent and Tiandou Continent to have a look, okay?" Yali also began to plan for the good times after retirement. She smiled and took Yun Ming's arm, "I haven't been to those two new continents yet."

"Yes, all up to you!" Yun Ming nodded lovingly.

At the same time, at the Shrek City Soul Guide Train Station, Jing Shaoyu, Gu Yue, Na'er and seven other girls were waiting outside the station early.

"Mom! Auntie!" Jing Shaoyu spotted Jing Ziyuan and Lin Xin among the crowd, and immediately ran towards them shouting. Gu Yue and others behind him also followed.

Jing Ziyuan and Lin Xin also noticed Jing Shaoyu and greeted him with bright smiles.

They naturally came to celebrate Jing Shaoyu's birthday. According to Jing Shaoyu's idea, he would go back to Donghai City by himself, but Jing Ziyuan said that she wanted to visit Shrek City, and Jing Shaoyu naturally could not object to this.

He put his arm around Jing Ziyuan's shoulders affectionately and introduced several girls to her with a smile. Except for Gu Yue, Na'er and Xu Xiaoyan, everyone else was meeting Jing Ziyuan for the first time, so they were all more or less nervous.

"Mom, Auntie, this is Wusiduo."

"Hello, Auntie. You can just call me Duoduo. That's what my elders call me." Wu Siduo seemed very graceful. After all, she came from a large family. Although she was usually cold, she was very good at dealing with people.

"Okay, Duoduo." Jing Ziyuan looked at Wu Siduo with a smile and nodded continuously.

"She is Ye Xinglan."

"Hello Auntie, my name is Ye Xinglan, you can call me Xinglan." Ye Xinglan's smile was a little stiff, and his expression was a little nervous. Facing Jing Ziyuan's scrutinizing gaze, he found it difficult to let go.

"Haha, hello, Xinglan." Jing Ziyuan could naturally feel Ye Xinglan's nervousness, so she smiled friendly and said.

"She is Mo Hentian." "Hello, Auntie. I am Mo Hentian, and everyone calls me Xiao Mo." There was nothing noteworthy about Mo Hentian's reaction. It was just a normal behavior when meeting an elder.

However, Jing Ziyuan's reaction was very interesting. Her attention was all drawn to Mo Hentian's chest. There was a hint of surprise in her eyes, and then she responded with a smile: "Hello, Xiao Mo."

"Mom, Auntie, let's go to the academy to put down our luggage first, and then I'll take you to visit Shrek City." Jing Shaoyu ignored Lan Fuzi and said to Jing Ziyuan and Lin Xin.

Lan Fuzi was very dissatisfied with this and shouted: "Wait a minute, Captain, you haven't introduced him yet!"

Gu Yue and Na'er had blank expressions, Xu Xiaoyan looked helpless, Ye Xinglan and Wu Siduo smiled at each other, and as for Mo Hentian, he was still immersed in Jing Ziyuan's expression. Jing Shaoyu pretended to be surprised and replied, "Oh, look at me, I didn't even notice you, sorry."

"Hmph!" Lan Fuzi looked at Jing Shaoyu angrily. She seriously suspected that Jing Shaoyu did it on purpose.

In fact, Jing Shaoyu did it on purpose. He didn't want to bring her here at all. She insisted on coming here. Now she took the initiative to ask. Jing Ziyuan and Lin Xin must have misunderstood. He was helpless and said, "Mom, Auntie, she is Lan Fuzi, a schoolmate who just joined our team."

"How can I not have just joined? It's been almost two years!" Lan Fuzi immediately retorted, and then looked at Jing Ziyuan and Lin Xin with a smile, "Hello, aunties. My name is Lan Fuzi, you can just call me Fuzi."

Lan Fuzi had been observing Jing Ziyuan and Lin Xin since they appeared. She really wanted to know what the human being who raised Jing Shaoyu looked like. However, when they met, she was very disappointed. Lin Xin was just an ordinary person, and although Jing Ziyuan had a thin vitality in her body, there was nothing special about her in essence.

How could this happen? Lan Fuzi was puzzled.

"Oh, hello, Buddha." Jing Ziyuan could see that her son didn't seem to care much about this lively little girl, so her response was less enthusiastic.

Lan Fuzi didn't care at all, and nodded with a smile. His deep blue eyes were still staring at Jing Ziyuan, trying to see something different from her. Jing Shaoyu noticed Lan Fuzi's behavior and sneered in his heart. This silly fish, is she trying to get a glimpse of his origins from his adoptive mother? How is this possible?
Jing Shaoyu didn't care at all, and led Jing Ziyuan and Lin Xin to Shrek Academy with a happy expression. He didn't notice at all that Lan Fuzi, who was at the end of the team, paused unnaturally, his pupils shrank sharply, and his mind was a little unstable.

"It hurts so much... Why is this happening?" She lowered her head and let out a low groan of pain. In her field of vision, there was a bright green.

After adoptive mother Jing Ziyuan came to the academy, Yun Ming Yali met her in person. The two were very grateful to Jing Ziyuan, and Jing Ziyuan was flattered. After all, the other party were two Extreme Douluo, and regardless of other things, they were more than twice as old as Jing Ziyuan.

The next day was Jing Shaoyu’s eighteenth birthday.

He didn't hold any grand birthday party. There was no need to go to great lengths, so he just had a meal with his relatives and friends. The only elders were Jing Ziyuan, Leng Yaozhu, Yun Ming, Yali and Lin Xin. The rest were Gu Yue, Na'er, Xu Xiaoyan, Wu Siduo, Ye Xinglan, Mo Hentian and Lan Fuzi.

After his birthday, Jing Shaoyu officially became an adult and could attend a grand event at the academy. However, the event was still about one or two months away, so there was no need to rush.

After celebrating Jing Shaoyu's birthday, Jing Ziyuan and Lin Xin prepared to return to Donghai City. However, at Yali's insistence, they decided to stay for a while. Jing Shaoyu did not object to this. Although Shrek City was very dangerous, that was not the issue at the moment.

After all, the next three months will be the time for the most grand event in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, the Sea God Festival. Although this period is the most relaxing time for Shrek Academy, it is also the time when the most people are gathered, and the safety is absolutely maximized.

Moreover, Jing Shaoyu remembered that the Holy Spirit Church launched an attack on Shrek Academy after Tang Wulin returned from Devil Island, which was one or two years after the Sea God Fate.

This day, in the Seven Monsters activity room.

"Brother Xiaoyu, have you heard? Luo Guixing and the other seven have all passed the inner courtyard exam!" Xu Xiaoyan said gossipingly.

"Is this true?" Wu Siduo expressed her doubt. "I have no doubt that Luo Guixing and Xu Yucheng can be admitted to the inner courtyard, but I doubt Tang Wulin. Isn't his martial spirit Blue Silver Grass? When did the Blue Silver Grass martial spirit become able to be cultivated so quickly?"

"Duoduo, don't you have a good relationship with Zheng Yiran? Didn't she tell you?" Xu Xiaoyan asked in surprise.

Wu Siduo rolled her eyes and said, "I have a good relationship with Yiran, but we haven't seen each other much in the past year. Do I have to ask her specifically why Tang Wulin was admitted to the inner courtyard?"

"Oh, that's right." Xu Xiaoyan felt that Wu Siduo's words made sense, so he touched his head and explained, "It's like this, it is said that Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul has awakened a second time and turned into the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, and because of his special golden dragon bloodline, even though his soul power is not enough for a soul king, he was still specially approved to enter the inner courtyard."

"So that's how it is." Everyone suddenly realized that if this was the case, it made sense.

"Blue Silver Emperor Martial Spirit! Sister Xiaoyan, is this true?" When Lan Fuzi heard the words Blue Silver Emperor, he seemed a little shocked and excited. He grabbed Xu Xiaoyan's arm and asked.

Xu Xiaoyan didn't care, just nodded and said: "This is what I heard from the senior sister, but I don't know the details. When Xiao Mo comes, you can ask her. I remember that Feng Lao is in charge of the inner courtyard assessment."

The senior sister that Xu Xiaoyan mentioned was naturally Tang Yinmeng. In the past two years since this little girl entered the inner courtyard, she had fully demonstrated her communication skills. All the female disciples in the inner courtyard were treated as sisters by her, which made Ye Xinglan and Wu Siduo always nervous for a while.

"Oh, okay." Lan Fuzi nodded somewhat disappointedly.

As they were talking, Mo Hentian arrived and brought the most accurate news to everyone.

The outer courtyard was about to start recruiting new students, and the second graders would naturally be promoted to the third grade. The seven third grade class committee members, Luo Guixing, Xu Yucheng, Yang Nianxia, ​​Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Xu Lizhi and Zheng Yiran, also chose to take the inner courtyard assessment and successfully passed it. So far, there were already fourteen inner courtyard disciples in their class, making it the largest class in recent years.

Shen Yi was already smiling from ear to ear.

Mo Hentian's information was more detailed. Tang Wulin's martial soul had indeed awakened for the second time and became the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul. It was awakened with the help of the leader of the Body Sect, Muye. His soul power was currently only level 49, but considering that his companions were already Soul Kings and he also possessed a special true dragon bloodline, he was allowed to be recruited into the inner courtyard at Zhuoshi's suggestion.

Jing Shaoyu was not too surprised by the news, because it was not something worth being surprised about. As the son of the God King Tang, Tang Wulin had already lost points by being specially recruited into the inner courtyard.

If his father knew, would he be furious?
