Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 55 Dinner, Goodbye Qiangu Chaosheng

Perhaps to celebrate the birth of a team, in the evening of that day, led by Shu Yan, a group of people had a simple dinner at the Xinghuang Hotel. Various extremely expensive dishes were served on the table one by one, and Xu Jiujiu was there to accompany them personally. The hotel staff was almost trembling from beginning to end, fearing that one inappropriate move would displease the noble and thus bring disaster upon them...

At first, the group was still a little reserved, but after three rounds of drinks, they became more familiar with each other. Chen Ming was just like his own martial soul, with a cheerful personality. Under his deliberate guidance, Shu Yan also slowly learned a lot about their past.

After spending some time together, Shu Yan had some understanding of the group of people.

Chen Ming is an extrovert and lively person, and is somewhat impulsive when dealing with big issues.

Wang Lin is the team's total loser, with a rather introverted personality, but not shy either. In other words, he is simply too lazy to talk.

Luo Qinghan had already known about this before, so naturally there was nothing much to say.

As for Qiangu Yueyin, her personality is somewhat similar to that of the Nine-Colored Goddess as a girl ten thousand years ago, but in the final analysis, there are actually some differences. What the specific differences are, I'm afraid we'll have to get the answer from their subsequent interactions.

The character of this big guy Huyan Hao is very simple. Although he doesn't look like a good person, he is actually very honest and simple, and he is also the quietest person in the group.

Look at Tian Ling who teases Shu Yan from time to time. Hmm... this girl is just a vixen who likes to talk nonsense. It is said that she has been taught a lesson by Luo Qinghan more than once because of this.

As for Meng Ning... well, she is just a shy little sister. She was caught stealing glances at Shu Yan several times at the dinner party, and then she lowered her head shyly. But she repeated the above plot again after a while, which looked quite cute.

After returning to the princess's mansion, Shu Yan first took a quick bath. When he returned to the couch, he found that Xu Jiujiu had fallen asleep.

Shu Yan yawned, but he was not sleepy. He had a strange feeling. This was a sign of a breakthrough. After leaving a few soul power warnings nearby, he sat cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation...

……

The next afternoon, Shu Yan felt refreshed, his soul power surged and his mind was clear. Nearly eight hours of deep meditation not only allowed his soul power to break through to level 56, but also cleared his mind. He felt as if he had undergone a thorough cleansing.

Seeing that it was still early, Shu Yan searched the princess's mansion but did not find Xu Jiujiu. Finally, the maid told her that Xu Jiujiu had gone to deal with an important matter and might not be back until late.

Looking at the empty princess's mansion, Shu Yan sighed helplessly, and then decisively chose to enter the palace.

He was deeply impressed by what the Medical Immortal Douluo said yesterday. Although he didn't know why the great priest wanted to see him, Shu Yan actually had some guesses. At least based on his existing knowledge, he could easily judge that the great priest was hiding a secret, and it was not an ordinary secret.

……

In the Starlight Hall, Shu Yan first met with Xu Jiawei who was handling government affairs. After a brief chat with him, Xu Jiawei personally led him along the secret passage towards the depths of the palace.

Unexpectedly, the length of this secret passage was astonishingly long, and even made Shu Yan feel that he had walked out of the palace. But while Shu Yan was still pondering, Xu Jiawei had already stopped.

He looked at the two huge stone doors in front of him, then turned around and said:

"This is the teacher's retreat place. It is also the most mysterious place in the entire Xingluo Palace. Even I have only been there once when I was young. Go, the teacher will not harm you." Xu Jiawei's voice was gentle and long, and so was his gaze. Shu Yan nodded to Xu Jiawei, then stepped forward and pushed open the two heavy stone doors that weighed thousands of pounds.

Endless darkness came and swallowed Shu Yan in an instant. Looking at the stone door that closed automatically, Xu Jiawei stayed there for a while before choosing to return the same way.

……

Several oil lamps slowly lit up in the dim stone chamber, barely dispelling some of the darkness. Shu Yan looked up, only to find that there was a well-like passage above the stone chamber. It was sunset at this time, and some of the setting sun shone on the rocks of the casting passage, but it could not go deeper. However, it still added a touch of mystery to the world below.

A soft laugh was heard in the darkness, and a few oil lamps were lit again. Qiangu Chaosheng sat quietly in front of a low table. He was still as thin as the last time he met him, and his hunched body seemed hidden in the opaque darkness, but his golden eyes were still full of indescribable spirit.

"I've met senior."

Shu Yan bowed slightly, and then he felt a gentle soul power supporting him up.

Qiangu Chaosheng stretched out a shriveled finger and pointed at the position opposite him, then said softly:

"No need to be polite, come and sit down, I have something I want to talk to you about..."

Shu Yan nodded, then sat directly opposite Qiangu Chaosheng.

Qiangu Chaosheng sighed softly, looking at Shu Yan with some emotion, and then he said:

"I watched the match between you and Yue Yin and the others. You performed very well. It can even be said that you greatly exceeded my expectations."

"This is also the first time in my lifetime that I have witnessed the unique strength and tyranny of the Ultimate Attribute. Perhaps letting Yue Yin and the others follow you can help them get out of the current quagmire and predicament and see a wider world."

Shu Yan remained silent for a long time before he said:
"Master Qian also agrees with my idea?"

Qiangu Chaosheng smiled upon hearing this, and then said in a very casual manner:
“Why would you disagree?”

“The existence of Shrek Academy is a shame to us, and it is also the biggest obstacle. To tell you the truth, when I was young, my thoughts were almost exactly the same as yours, but later I had to change because of reality. This is undoubtedly a pity for me, but as people get older, they see things more clearly. When my life is about to come to an end, your appearance makes me feel as if I see a kind of inheritance and hope…”

Shu Yan was slightly stunned and was about to say something, but Qiangu Chaosheng did not give him a chance to speak and instead changed the subject to something else.

"Little guy, I wonder if you are interested in listening to my story. Perhaps after you finish listening, you will know the reason why I came to see you today..."
