Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 238: Arriving at Shrek for the First Time, the Four Deans and Their Intentions of Poaching

It is the rainy season of the year in the Xingluo Empire again. In recent days, it has been drizzling intermittently in Xingluo City. The rain water gathers on the ground, turning into streams that flow into the canals, and finally no one knows where it flows to.

The sound of dripping water kept echoing in her ears. Xu Jiujiu walked in from the door holding an umbrella. Two maids waiting outside the door quickly stepped forward and took the bamboo umbrella from her hands, while Xu Jiujiu walked straight into the hall.

"Ayan, everything has been arranged. There is no problem with Shrek Academy either."

Xu Jiujiu put the invitation letter in his hand on the table. Tian Ling, who was standing beside him, picked it up curiously, glanced at it casually, and then her eyes fell on the signature below.

"Yan Shaozhe... Dean of Shrek Academy..."

Tian Ling murmured, and then suddenly looked at Shu Yan with a strange look.

These days, they pestered Shu Yan to tell them a lot of things, and also learned about the relationship between Yan Shaozhe and the two Ultimate Douluo of the Holy Spirit Church.

Others also turned their eyes to Shu Yan, feeling somewhat strange.

Everyone was here today, even Luo Qinghan, who was trying to walk after his legs had just healed, sat down.

In response, Shu Yan remained calm and let Meng Ning massage his shoulders behind him.

"Don't worry about it. The dean of Shrek Academy is a descendant of an evil soul master. Isn't it interesting to think about this?"

Shu Yan said casually.

Everyone looked at each other and felt that there were some changes in Shu Yan recently, but they couldn't tell what the change was. This feeling was very strange, and it also made people have a vague premonition that Shu Yan seemed to have really undergone some changes that they could not fully perceive.

This is easy to understand. Everything about Shu Yan is evolving towards Godhood, and he is slowly transcending his current level of life. This kind of evolution is undoubtedly changing with each passing day. It is a true transformation. The leap in life level will undoubtedly change his temperament and aura. The women are the ones who are closest to him, so it is not surprising that they can vaguely perceive this change.

While everyone was thinking, Xu Jiujiu spoke again:

"I will also accompany you to Shrek City. Nominally, we are invited by Shrek Academy to come for exchange and study, but in fact, everyone understands our real purpose and the meaning behind it."

"After arriving in Shrek City, we should stay for a while, but this period of time will not be very long. There is not much worth learning in Shrek Academy. Let's just treat it as a trip."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and they didn't care much about the matter.

Ling Luochen on the side felt a little strange. She was originally from the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, and was even one of the Shrek Seven Devils of this generation. Now going back... well, it felt a little strange.

"All right."

Shu Yan stood up, looked around, and then continued:
"We will set off in three days. Senior Xingyun will be with us as a guard. I have some things to do after I arrive at Shrek Academy. It may make a lot of noise. You just need to protect yourselves and don't get involved casually."

Shrek Academy itself does not allow outsiders to enter at will, especially those at the Titled Douluo level. If they break in at will, they may be treated as intruders.

But Xu Jiujiu will also accompany them this time. As the most noble princess in a country, Shrek is willing to give Xu Jiujiu this privilege, on the premise that Nebula Douluo also has to know his limits and not act at will.

"Ah."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Although they were somewhat puzzled by Shu Yan's decision, they did not ask any more questions. As long as they supported him, they would not get any more answers.

……

three days later.

Everyone packed up everything, and the Soul Guidance Research Institute also customized one for the few people who didn't have a flying soul guide. After taking off into the air, under Shu Yan's guidance, everyone flew towards the northeast.

The flying soul guides customized by the Xingluo Soul Guide Research Institute based on the characteristics of everyone were of quite good quality. In addition, Xingluo City itself was not too far away from Shrek Academy. It took almost a day for everyone to see the outline of a city in the distance.

"That's Shrek City. We're here."

Ling Luochen spoke up. She was not unfamiliar with Shrek City.

"There are more than ten Super Douluo and a considerable number of Titled Douluo. To be honest, Shrek Academy does have a good foundation."

Shu Yan's mental power secretly enveloped the entire Xingluo City, and he also roughly figured out the distribution of the strong people in the city.

The most powerful aura has shown signs of weakening. It is understandable that Moon was already seriously injured, and it was already very good that he could hold on for so many years. Now that the deadline is approaching, his urgency to continue the prosperity and glory of Shrek Academy should be reaching its peak.

The group flew directly over the city wall of Shrek City at an altitude of one thousand meters, and then flew straight to the east of the city. Not far to the east of Shrek City was the Star Forest.

When they arrived above the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy, several powerful auras flew out from the direction of the inner courtyard. Soon, a total of five figures appeared in front of everyone.

The leader was a sloppy old man, who was the Taotie Douluo Xuanzi.

The old man in white behind him had a gentle temperament and radiated a unique aura of light. His soul power was at the peak of level ninety-five, and there were signs of a breakthrough.

As for the other three, each has his or her own unique look and temperament. One man and two women are all Titled Douluo. They are probably the other three deans of the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department.

The group slowly lowered their altitude, Shu Yan still stood in the front. Although Nebula Douluo had been discovered, she did not show up. This was also her style. If it was not necessary, she would usually just follow Xu Jiujiu silently and rarely show up on her own initiative.

Xuanzi's eyes swept across the crowd, then stopped at Shu Yan who was in the front, and a deep astonishment flashed in his eyes.

In his perception, Shu Yan's aura was extremely peaceful, but he had only experienced this kind of peace in one person, and that person was Dragon God Douluo Moon.

After the two teams greeted each other, Xuan Zi left on the pretext of having something to deal with, while Ming Feng Douluo Yan Shaozhe proposed to take everyone to visit various places in Shrek Academy, so as to familiarize them with the atmosphere and environment of the academy in advance, and also to arrange accommodation for everyone.

It must be said that the scenery of Shrek Academy is very nice, especially the shores of Poseidon Lake. The scenery is beautiful and the breeze is gentle. The clear lake water ripples in the breeze, as if it can touch people's heartstrings.

……

After entering the school gate, the group attracted a lot of attention. Xian Lin'er, who was walking on the side, suddenly turned around and looked at Luo Qinghan and Meng Ning, who were also walking on the edge of the team, and then asked:
"You two little girls are both spiritual soul masters?"

Xian Lin'er's sudden question made Luo Qinghan's already slow pace pause, and a slight clicking sound was heard. This was a special auxiliary soul guide. Before her legs were fully recovered, she could walk independently with the help of this soul guide. Meng Ning leaned behind Luo Qinghan shyly. She was more lively in front of others, but she was still shy in front of outsiders.

Staring at Xian Lin'er's slightly fiery eyes, Luo Qinghan nodded quietly, then said:

"The little girl is a little shy, please forgive me, senior."

There was no dissatisfaction in Xian Lin'er's eyes, but instead they lit up slightly, and then she asked immediately:

"So you have chosen the path of soul mentors? What is your martial soul?"

As if realizing that she had lost her composure, Xian Lin'er immediately added:
"I am the dean of the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy. I am also an eighth-level soul instructor and the title of Martial God. You can call me the Immortal Dean."

Luo Qinghan's expression remained unchanged, he just said softly:

"Hello, Dean Xian. When Meng Ning and I were majoring in soul master, we were also minoring in soul mentor."

"My martial soul is Qingluan, and Meng Ning's martial soul is Hei Yao, both are spiritual martial souls."

"Qingluan... Black Demon...?"

Xian Lin'er was slightly stunned when she heard the names of these two martial spirits, then her eyes changed slightly, and then she said:

"Are you the descendant of Qingluan Douluo, the third worshiper of the Spirit Hall?"

Luo Qinghan still nodded gently, his sky-blue bangs swaying gently in the breeze, and his smoky blue pupils were incomparably deep and mysterious.

Xian Lin'er opened her mouth but didn't say anything else. She just changed the subject.

"I have also heard a little about the Black Demon Martial Soul. I originally thought that this top-level control-type Martial Soul had disappeared in the long river of time, but I didn't expect that after ten thousand years, this Martial Soul would reappear in the world one day."

"Ten thousand years have passed, and things and people have changed. It is a blessing to be able to preserve the heritage."

Luo Qinghan replied.

Xian Lin'er smiled and had a good impression of Luo Qinghan and Meng Ning.

Her cultivation level was at the peak of level ninety-four, just one step away from level ninety-five. With her vision, she could naturally see that Luo Qinghan and Meng Ning were both extremely rare geniuses, especially their terrifying mental power, which was definitely a huge innate advantage in making soul guides, so she took the initiative to ask.

As for the other party's background... well, although it's a bit unexpected, it's not impossible to handle.

Ten thousand years have passed, and many past events have disappeared with time.

In fact, there have been many talented and powerful people on the continent who came from the lineage of the former Spirit Hall masters. Although those talented and powerful people were not hostile to their Shrek Academy, they were definitely not close to them. The academy once tried to win over the owner of a Holy Angel Spirit, but that person directly refused in the end. A few years later, he disappeared on the continent. Since then, the inheritance of the Holy Angel Spirit has never appeared on the Douluo Continent again.

Of course, this is assuming that they don’t know Ye Guyi.

Qiangu Yueyin also noticed the movement here, but she just snorted coldly and then stopped paying attention.

Soon after entering the gate of Shrek Academy, ten huge statues came into view.

Shu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and his gaze fell on the third young man with long blue hair in the back row.

However, unexpectedly, the enthusiastic Yan Shaozhe did not let everyone stay here for too long. Instead, he simply said a few words and then led everyone to move on.

Xian Lin'er's message to him just now was very timely, so he did not take the initiative to introduce these ten ancestors.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that introducing these ancestors under such circumstances is not a good thing. Although Yan Shaozhe has some problems with his character, he is not stupid in this regard.

Afterwards, everyone visited various iconic buildings of Shrek. By the time they arrived at the shore of Poseidon Lake, not much time had actually passed.

There was a gentle breeze beside the Poseidon Lake. The path along the lake was paved entirely with bluestone slabs and small stones. Many students passed by, most of them were couples. After noticing Yan Shaozhe, the leader of the group, they hurriedly saluted and ran away holding hands.

"The Seagod Lake is a popular date spot for the young guys in the academy. Youth always holds the most sincere and precious emotions. Thinking back, it is really a nostalgic past..."

As he spoke, Yan Shaozhe glanced meaningfully at Shu Yan and the elegant and calm Xu Jiujiu standing beside him.

After all, according to the known information, these two are childhood sweethearts. After their high-profile appearance at the last Soul Master Competition, they became the focus of the entire continent for a while. They are also idols of this generation of young opposite sexes. More importantly, the strength of this young couple is too amazing. Not to mention that Xu Jiujiu must be a Soul Sage now and has a 100,000-year soul ring, and Shu Yan is even more amazing. He was a Soul Douluo during the Soul Master Competition, and his soul ring ratio shocked the entire continent...

What about now?

Yan Shaozhe believed that he could not see Shu Yan's true colors. When he stood next to Shu Yan, he always felt a deep sense of fear and trembling, as if the other person contained a terrifying power that could easily crush him to death...

But thinking of the other person's age, Yan Shaozhe quietly comforted himself...

This is an illusion… This has to be an illusion… How can this be real?
After Yan Shaozhe said that, the faces of the Vice Dean of the Martial Soul Department Cai Meir, the Dean of the Soul Guidance Department Xian Liner, and the Vice Dean of the Soul Guidance Department Qian Duoduo all changed, especially Cai Meir and Xian Liner, whose faces looked a little unhappy for a moment.

Yan Shaozhe also realized it later, but because there were outsiders present, no matter how embarrassing it was, he could only suppress it and not show it. After thinking about it, he quickly changed the subject:
"We have finished touring the outer courtyard. Next, it is time to go to the inner courtyard. The residence arranged by the academy for you is also there. There are fewer students in the inner courtyard, and the environment is more quiet and secluded. It is the most suitable place for retreat and meditation."

Cai Meier also suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, then chuckled and said:

"The residence that the academy has arranged for you is right next to Luo Chen's former dormitory. All three houses there are available for you to live in. All the facilities and even necessities needed for life are already prepared. If you still need anything, you can find a teacher in the inner courtyard anytime and anywhere, and someone will be assigned to solve it for you."

Shu Yan and Xu Jiujiu both nodded. Just as they were about to cross the Sea God Lake and head to the inner courtyard, a female voice suddenly sounded from the path beside them:
"Four Deans, long time no see..."

Turning around, both sides were stunned.

Next to Ning Tian, ​​who had short blond hair, there was a girl with short red hair and very delicate features who had already come back to her senses first. Her cold eyes were dazed for a moment, and then they fell on Shu Yan, exclaiming:
"It's actually you..."
