Douluo Dragon King: Nine Dragons Break the Abyss

Chapter 241 Golden Ancient Tree
Yali seemed to have really become the lubricant between Qiangu Qitian and Yun Ming. If she were not there, Qiangu Qitian and Yun Ming might have fought a long time ago.

"Tell me, what is the gift?"

Yun Ming also became interested in the great gift that Qiangu Qitian mentioned.

Qiangu Qitian smiled mysteriously: "Master Yun, come in with me later and you will know."

Yun Ming felt somewhat unhappy, but seeing that Qiangu Qitian was unwilling to speak, he did not force him.

"Go to the outer courtyard to find your junior sister. I'll wait for you at the ancient golden tree."

Qiangu Qitian nodded: "Okay."

After saying that, he flew towards the outer courtyard.

Yun Ming looked at Qiangu Qitian who was leaving, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but no words came out in the end.

Yali glanced at Yun Ming and said directly:
"What? You, the Pavilion Master, don't follow the rules, but I, a disciple from the Spirit Pagoda, have to follow them?"

There is no flying restriction within the Shrek Academy.

Yun Ming smiled apologetically and said:
"How could that be? Didn't I say anything?"

"Humph!"

Yali snorted coldly, folded her arms across her chest, and walked directly towards the direction of the ancient golden tree.

Yun Ming was somewhat helpless, but he still went after Yali after handing over the matter to Cai Yue'er.

Long Yeyue had no interest in staying here any longer, so she turned around and left, but not in the direction of the ancient golden tree.

But... outside Shrek Academy.

The competition between Qiangu Qitian and Lan Muzi was just a small episode in the Shrek Inner Court Competition, although this competition brought the atmosphere of the entire venue to the freezing point.

Lan Muzi was held by Tang Yinmeng and returned to their original position.

Feeling the gazes from all around and the silent and depressed atmosphere, Lan Muzi felt helpless.

"Winning and losing are common in the military. I am not invincible, and the opponent is not as weak as you think."

"I think you should be able to feel the difference in this battle. Don't forget, he is less than seventeen years old this year."

"Moreover... that peculiar five-colored large soul ring must have its extraordinary features..."

As he spoke, Lan Muzi looked up at the sky, which was the direction Qiangu Qitian had left.

Tang Yinmeng also comforted:
"Okay, don't lose heart, keep working hard, the future belongs to you. Don't forget, you are from Shrek."

With the couple's encouragement, the depressing atmosphere around them gradually dissipated.

At this time, the inner courtyard competition started again.

Qiangu Qitian was moving very fast. In just a few seconds, he arrived above the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy.

After scanning the area with his spiritual power in the Spiritual Realm, Qiangu Qitian quickly found Gu Yuena's location.

It’s not that he didn’t know Gu Yuena and the others’ class schedule, but the teaching content of Shrek Academy was not fixed, and it was not wise to look for people according to the schedule.

Look, the first-year students who were supposed to take theoretical classes in Teaching Building No. 4 are now conducting actual combat training inside the dueling arena in the outer courtyard.

There is no way around it. Most of the teachers in the outer courtyard are from the inner courtyard. Today, in the inner courtyard competition of Shrek Academy, their teachers still have to take the "exam", and these students can only change their courses.

In the huge dueling arena, only the first grade class was competing.

Logically speaking, practical courses require the presence of a teacher, because teenagers who are only thirteen or fourteen years old find it difficult to control their own strength and are more likely to get into danger.

This is also the reason why the other classes did not have practical lessons.

As for why the first grade can...

On the duel field, two students stood opposite each other, one on the left and one on the right, and between them was Gu Yuena.

Obviously, Gu Yuena, who has extraordinary combat power, became the referee of the practical class.

However, the referee at this moment looked a little listless.

"start."

After Gu Yuena said this, she jumped off the stage and sat down on a chair in front of Xu Xiaoyan.

Xu Xiaoyan, at this time, was very sensible and stood behind Gu Yuena, massaging her shoulders.

Gu Yuena was watching the two people playing house out of boredom when she suddenly saw a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

Her eyes regained their luster in an instant.

Xu Xiaoyan, who sensed Gu Yuena's emotional change, also belatedly looked in the direction Gu Yuena was looking.

Then, she was also stunned.

"Why is this idiot here?"

Xu Xiaoyan secretly complained in his heart.

But the next moment, seeing Qiangu Qitian's playful smile, she was like a frightened deer. Her neck instantly shrank, and the shadow created by her lowered head obscured her expression.

Can't see me, can't see me...

Qiangu Qitian: ...

He ignored Xu Xiaoyan, the dramatic actor, and slowly fell from the air.

Gu Yuena stood up directly, not caring about the life and death fight on the ring. She spread out her long legs and came in front of Qiangu Qitian in a few steps.

The other students also noticed Qiangu Qitian. They were not unfamiliar with the protagonist's figure.

Qiangu Qitian touched Gu Yuena's head and rubbed her soft silver long hair until it became a little messy.

"How did you come?"

Gu Yuena asked, with a hint of joy in her tone.

As for the fact that Qiangu Qitian had messed up her hair, she didn't care.

Qiangu Qitian laughed and said:

"I'll take you somewhere."

"Where?"

Gu Yuena asked.

Qiangu Qitian whispered in Gu Yuena's ear in a voice that only she could hear:
"Golden Ancient Tree."

"real?!"

Gu Yuena widened her beautiful eyes in surprise.

"Of course, this is the spot I fought so hard to get for you."

"mua~"

Gu Yuena directly hugged Qiangu Qitian's neck and kissed him on the cheek.

She knew all too well what this meant.

If she could enter the ancient golden tree once, she wouldn't have to waste her time in Shrek Academy.

Go back earlier, earlier... go back to Qiangu Qitian.

Several students present seemed to have their hearts broken when they saw this scene.

In addition to Tang Wulin, there is also... Luo Guixing.

He was the talented soul master whose martial soul was the space element. In the battle for the class leader, he was completely stunned by Gu Yuena. From that moment on, he fell in love with Gu Yuena.

Of course, he could only be like Tang Wulin, longing for it but unable to reach it.

Gu Yuena asked impatiently:

"When are we going?"

Qiangu Qitian replied: "Right now, someone is waiting for us there."

"Now?"

"Yes, now."

"Crack! Crack!"

Gu Yuena clapped her hands twice, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to her, although most of the eyes were on her at this time.

Even the two people who were fighting stopped what they were doing and looked towards Gu Yuena.

Wu Siduo and Ye Xinglan sat quietly in a corner of the viewing platform, just watching Qiangu Qitian and Gu Yuena quietly.

"Siduo, they are such a perfect match." Ye Xinglan said with emotion.

Wusiduo: ...

"Actually, Xinglan is also a good match."

Wu Siduo replied.

She also had to admit that Qiangu Qitian and Gu Yuena, who were standing together at this moment, were indeed a good match.

Ye Xinglan also smiled and replied:

"Siduo is also a good match. We are a good match."

Wu Siduo took Ye Xinglan's hand and interlocked their fingers:
"From now on, we will be good sisters for life."

Ye Xinglan nodded vigorously:

"Yes, good sisters for life."

Offstage, Gu Yuena announced directly:
"Today's practical class ends here. get out of class dismissed."

Then, without caring about the students who hadn't started the competition yet, she turned to Qiangu Qitian and said with a bright smile, "Let's go."

"Ah."

After Qiangu Qitian responded, a silver light flashed around him.

Luo Guixing, who was off the field, immediately determined that this was a space element.

Moreover, the fluctuation of this space element is even stronger than Gu Yuena's.

Seeing Qiangu Qitian's disappearing figure, Wu Siduo and Ye Xinglan were about to look away when Qiangu Qitian's voice sounded in their minds:
"Siduo (Xinglan), I will come to see you two later."

Of course, Qiangu Qitian did not favor one over the other. Xu Xiaoyan, who was playing the ostrich, also remembered Qiangu Qitian's voice in his mind:

"Okay, I'm leaving now. Next time we meet, don't be so scared of me, or else... I'm going to spank you."

Xu Xiaoyan: ...

Qiangu Qitian and Gu Yuena, who disappeared in the duel arena, appeared directly on the Sea God Island.

Gu Yuena was also a little surprised. She didn't expect that Qiangu Qitian, who had just mastered the element of space, could take her across such a distance.

But her surprise soon turned into pride, he was worthy of being the man that Gu Yuena liked.

Qiangu Qitian said that he was already very used to Gu Yuena's mood changes.

He didn't know how, but the aloof Silver Dragon King had gradually turned into a fool in the past few years since he came to live with him.

Hey ~
Holding Gu Yuena's hand, the two walked towards the towering golden ancient tree.

To be precise, they were already standing on the ancient golden tree.

Poseidon Island is an island-like land formed by the huge roots of the ancient golden tree and the soil.

But the golden ancient tree recognized within Shrek Academy refers to the inside of the giant tree.

That is the core of the ancient golden tree.

This was also the first time for Gu Yuena to be so close to the ancient golden tree. She had recuperated in the original core of life, the Lake of Life, for hundreds of thousands of years.

But at that time she was just healing.

Now, having transformed into a human form, it was the first time that she felt the shock brought by the life core at such a close distance.

"This originally...belonged to us."

Gu Yuena clenched her fists, but soon loosened them.

She knew that all of this was controlled by Tang San behind the scenes.

Since the death of the auspicious beast ten thousand years ago, the decline of the soul beast clan has been inevitable.

Fortunately, Gu Yuena came, fortunately... Qiangu Qitian came.

The closer the two got to the ancient golden tree, the more they could feel the rich breath of life emanating from the tree.

The surrounding air also had a faint green mist.

This is the result of life energy being so dense that it turns into atomization.

If it were a little denser and solidified from liquid, what you would see would not be pure green crystal, but green crystals with a faint golden luster.

That is the gold of living things.

Near the tree trunk, two figures just stood there.

The two of them quickly came in front of Yali and Yun Ming.

Gu Yuena knew that Yali was Qiangu Qitian’s teacher, so she bowed to Yali first.

"Crown of the Holy Spirit."

Then, he bowed symbolically to Yun Ming, the leader of the Sea God Pavilion.

"Pavilion Master."

Yun Ming: ...

From the way Gu Yuena addressed the two people, it is not difficult to judge Gu Yuena's attitude towards the other person.

Yun Ming knew that Gu Yuena was still angry about what happened.

But he did not regret what he did. If he did not try to accept a genius like Gu Yuena as his disciple, Yun Ming would regret it for the rest of his life.

However, if it happened again, he might be calmer and use gentler methods.

A gentle smile appeared on Yali's face: "Good boy."

The good child she was referring to was naturally Gu Yuena.

Looking at Qiangu Qitian and Gu Yuena in front of her, Yali was actually a little envious of Leng Yaoju for a moment.

But it was only for a moment.

Thinking that Leng Yaoju would have to share a husband with her apprentice in the future, Yali almost laughed out loud just by imagining that scene.

"Hmm." Realizing that she was about to lose her composure, Yali coughed to cover up her embarrassment.

"Okay, let's go in quickly."

"Okay, teacher."

Qiangu Qitian brought Gu Yuena and followed Yali, heading straight into the ancient golden tree.

And the Pavilion Master Yun Ming had no face at all in front of these people.

"Eh~"

Yun Ming sighed helplessly like a middle-aged man, but still followed behind.

The space inside the ancient golden tree is very large. In this big tree that seems to have no end, there are ten tree holes of different sizes.

They were all transformed by Shrek Academy into rooms for different purposes, including bedrooms for elders, conference rooms for meetings, and training rooms awarded to outstanding students...

The lifespan of living and practicing in these tree holes is several times longer than that in the outside world, and living in an environment full of life energy all year round can almost extend one's lifespan by twenty years than in the outside world!
Don't underestimate these twenty years.

It is because of these twenty years that Shrek Academy has several more Titled Douluo than the other four major organizations.

Qiangu Qitian couldn't help but look around curiously. Looking at the ancient brown tree walls with flowing golden lines, and feeling the life energy constantly gathering towards him, Qiangu Qitian had an urge to live here forever.

Of course, this is just a thought.

Even if he told Yun Ming now that he wanted to join Shrek, it would be impossible.

The current Qiangu Qitian has already been labeled as a member of the Spirit Tower.

When he was able to live here, it meant that the Shrek Academy at that time was no longer the Shrek of today.

Yali brought Qiangu Qitian and Gu Yuena to a wooden door. She pointed at the door and said:

"Here is the training room."

She then said to Gu Yuena:
"Na'er, the training time is half a month. During this period, you can enter and exit the ancient golden tree at any time. You don't have to worry about your safety. I will be here all the time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Gu Yuena bowed to Yali and expressed her gratitude.

"It's okay. When you get back, remember to say hello to your teacher for me."
