Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 686 The Reunion of the Three Siblings

After exchanging greetings, Long Hengxu instinctively reached for the sofa opposite Qian Gu Dongfeng. Qian Gu Dongfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and gave Long Hengxu a cold, indifferent look.

As the acting tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, few dare to sit directly in front of him without his permission.

To demonstrate that His Majesty is in charge of everything, and also to ensure the supreme status of the Spirit Pagoda, namely the so-called unity of the Pagoda and the nation.

Qian Gu Huang Yu is currently the emperor of the Douluo Empire and also the master of the Spirit Pagoda.

However, now Qian Gu Huang Yu basically no longer participates in the management of the Spirit Transmission Tower, but has handed it over to Qian Gu Dong Feng as the acting tower master to exercise the tower master's power.

Therefore, Qian Gu Dongfeng stepped down from the position of Army Marshal, and the current Army Marshal is Dong Zi'an, the Fierce Wolf Douluo.

Even though Qian Gu Dong Feng didn't emit any soul power fluctuations, Long Hengxu still felt a chill in his heart for no reason. He glanced at Qian Gu Dong Feng with some worry, and only sat down again after seeing that he didn't make any further moves.

Long Hengxu forced a business-like smile and said, "Gentlemen, our Donghai Academy is a prestigious academy with a long history..."

In order to swindle funds from Qian Gu Dong Feng and Qian Gu Qing Feng, Long Heng Xu immediately began to vigorously promote Dong Hai Academy.

From its long history to its outstanding graduates, it can be said that it has mentioned all the advantages that can be considered.

However, Qian Gu Dong Feng and Qian Gu Qing Feng always seemed uninterested.

There was nothing they could do. When faced with a school whose best graduates only came from a top-tier institution, not laughing was the greatest respect they could offer.

"How many of your senior department graduates can get into the Imperial Soul Master University?" Qian Gu Dongfeng asked calmly after Long Hengxu finished speaking.

In the Douluo Empire, the compulsory education for Soul Masters lasts for twelve years: three years at the Junior Soul Master Academy, three years at the Intermediate Soul Master Academy, and six years at the Senior Soul Master Academy.

After twelve years of compulsory education, most Soul Masters will enter society and start working, while a small number will continue their studies.

The Imperial Soul Master University is a higher education institution specifically built for soul masters who possess talent and wish to pursue further studies.

This is also to break Shrek Academy's monopoly on higher education.

After the Holy War, Shrek Academy suffered enormous losses and lost the hearts of many people, but it still earned the title of war heroes.

Since Qian Gu Huang Yu could no longer openly obstruct their enrollment, she decided to build a school that could rival Shrek Academy.

However, after investigation, it was discovered that, apart from the Mingde Hall of the Mingdu Royal Soul Master Academy, only the internal education of some sects or families could rival Shrek Academy's inner academy.

The Mingde Hall of the Mingdu Royal Soul Master Academy only trains Soul Masters, while those large families and sects only train their own disciples.

In other words, in terms of Soul Master education, there is no school that can rival Shrek Academy's Inner Court.

Even Qian Gu Huang Yu couldn't help but sigh at why, despite Shrek Academy's incredible power, so many people still believed in it.

Since there are no competitors, whatever he does is right.

Therefore, Qian Gu Huang Yu ordered the establishment of a soul master school comparable to Shrek Academy's inner academy, named Imperial Soul Master University, and appointed himself as its principal.

Well, Shrek Academy is called an academy, so it must be a junior college, while Imperial Soul Master University is an undergraduate institution.

Upon learning that their beloved emperor intended to establish a high-quality Soul Master Academy, the Soul Clan members all expressed their willingness to dedicate themselves to the country, generously donating money and secret manuals.

In short, we must never neglect our children's education, no matter how poor we are.

In addition, in order to set an example for others, the Soul Clan members also sent their children to school.

Although Imperial Soul Master University doesn't have the same level of faculty as Shrek Academy, which even has Limit Douluo personally teaching, its excellent post-graduation placements are an undeniable advantage.

Taking the Spirit Pagoda as an example, it recruits students from the Imperial Soul Master University every year to work directly in the Spirit Pagoda.

In addition, some other sects and even armies also prefer to recruit people directly from the Imperial Soul Master University.

Therefore, all things considered, the Imperial Soul Master University has replaced Shrek Academy as the best soul master school in the Douluo Continent.

Of course, the Imperial Soul Master University also has an affiliated school that enrolls students under the age of eighteen, called the Imperial Soul Master Academy. It is divided into a primary, intermediate, and advanced division and has the same functions as the compulsory education soul master academy.

Getting into the Imperial Soul Master University is the ultimate dream for every commoner Soul Master.

Upon hearing Qian Gu Dongfeng's words, Long Hengxu's face showed an embarrassed expression. To date, the number of graduates from Donghai Academy who have been admitted to the Imperial Soul Master University is zero.

not even one.

[That's really overly ambitious. You're already at Donghai Academy, why are you still thinking about these things?] Although Long Hengxu was disdainful, he didn't dare to say it out loud.

Just as Long Hengxu was at a loss, Yu Zheng came in. Long Hengxu's eyes lit up, hoping that the dean could think of a solution. As long as the dean came, everything would be alright.

As soon as Yu Zheng entered, he sensed a tense atmosphere, but he didn't pay it any mind. [I am the Dean of Donghai Academy, what storms haven't I weathered?]

When he saw the ancient east wind, his pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinholes, as if his eyeballs were about to pop out.

Long Hengxu, completely oblivious to Yu Zheng's situation, introduced him to Qian Gu Dongfeng and Qian Gu Qingfeng, saying, "This is the dean of our Donghai Academy, the highest mountain and the longest river in the Donghai Soul Master education field..."

Long Hengxu's words startled Yu Zheng, who quickly stopped him and asked, dumbfounded, "Is he the Master of the Ancient Tower?"

“It’s an agent,” Qian Gu Dong Feng said calmly.

"thump!"

A loud crash suddenly rang out, and Long Hengxu was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, his eyes vacant and looking as if he had lost his soul.

Being called the Eternal Tower Master, or even just the acting one, means that everything points to the same person: the acting tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, the Eternal East Wind of the Heaven-Devouring Douluo!
Let alone him, the mere dean of the intermediate department of Donghai Academy, even the ruler of the Tianhai Alliance is not qualified to see the Eternal East Wind.

This is the Emperor's own brother, born of the same father and mother!
Thinking about what he had just said, Long Hengxu wanted to dig a hole and bury himself.

He wasn't being overly ambitious at all; he simply only considered the Imperial Soul Master University to be worthy of his attention.

Yu Zheng's reaction wasn't much better than Long Hengxu's. He had only guessed that Su Youli had a powerful background because of Chen Hanyu's letter of recommendation, but he didn't expect her background to be this powerful!
Long Hengxu's eyes even welled up with tears as he looked at Yu Zheng, as if to say: You didn't tell me their officials were that high-ranking!

Yu Zheng was also stunned. When he heard that Su Youli's brother had come, he thought he was just an ordinary soul master.

Unexpectedly, the Spirit Pagoda Master was summoned right away.

Under normal circumstances, Yu Zheng would not be qualified to see Qian Gu Dong Feng at all. It was only when Yu Zheng went to Mingdu to participate in the education conference that he caught a glimpse of Qian Gu Dong Feng from afar.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, Yu Zheng immediately turned his gaze to Qian Gu Qing Feng [The one who can appear with Qian Gu Dong Feng, isn't that...] "Master Craftsman?" Yu Zheng asked blankly.

"Hmm." Qian Gu Qing Feng nodded slightly.

"Pfft."

Now even the invincible Dean Yu Zheng has fallen.

I've offended two big shots in one day, what should I do? Urgent!
Just as Yu Zheng was wondering if he would be dismissed for being improperly dressed, the door to the reception room opened once again.

"Big brother, you're here. Why didn't you tell me?" Su Youli pushed open the door and entered, only to find Yu Zheng and Long Hengxu also there.

"Dean, Director, what are you doing sitting on the ground?" Su Youli asked.

Upon seeing the person in question arrive, Yu Zheng wiped the cold sweat from his face repeatedly, forcing a smile onto his honest old face, and said, "It was a bit hot just now, the ground is cool, the ground is cool."

After saying this, Yu Zheng quickly pulled Long Hengxu up and bid farewell to Qian Gu Huang Yu and the other two, saying, "We have other things to attend to, so we'll be leaving first. You all have a good chat."

After saying this, Yu Zheng left the reception room as if fleeing before waiting for Qian Gu Huang Yu and the others to react.

"Ahem." Just a second before Yu Zheng opened the door to the reception room, Qian Gu Dong Feng suddenly coughed.

Yu Zheng was struck dumb, realizing that Qian Gu Dong Feng didn't want others to know about their itinerary. He quickly said, "I understand," and then fled.

"Brother, why are you here too?" Qian Gu Huang Yu asked curiously when she saw Qian Gu Dong Feng arrive.

Qian Gu Dong Feng said, "Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong? Why didn't you tell us about something as important as taking on a disciple?"

Qian Gu Huang Yu laughed and said, "It was just a spur-of-the-moment thing. That little guy's martial soul is quite interesting. Blue Silver Emperor and Clear Sky Hammer, just like Tang San's."

Qian Gu Dongfeng raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. "What about his parents? Are they from the Haotian Sect?"

Qian Gu Huang Yu shook his head and said, "No, he was adopted. There is only information about his adoptive parents, not his biological parents."

Qian Gu Dong Feng said, "Never mind, Zhang Ting is here too, let's find some time to let the two little ones meet."

Under the butterfly wings of the Eternal Phoenix Feather, neither the son nor the daughter-in-law of the Eternal East Wind perished while exploring the demiplane, unlike in another timeline.

However, perhaps due to the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren, Qian Gu Dongfeng is very fond of his grandson, Qian Gu Zhangting, and sometimes brings him to his side to personally guide him.

"Haotian Hammer, no wonder you said it's suitable for forging." Qian Gu Qingfeng's focus was completely different.

"As the once number one weapon spirit in the world, it is indeed suitable for forging," Qian Gu Qingfeng pondered.

After the empire was established, Qian Gu Huang Yu naturally took the opportunity to carry out sweeping reforms to all the previous lists, such as the list of young geniuses.

This includes a list of various martial spirits, and the number one beast martial spirit in the world was naturally awarded to King Ghidorah with the Eternal Phoenix Feather.

Anyone who has doubts about this is probably thinking about being reincarnated.

There is great controversy regarding the number one weapon spirit in the world, with some saying it is Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer.

Some say it's the Golden Trident, the martial soul of the old sea god; others say it's the Sky-Supporting Spear, the martial soul of Yun Ming; and the Panlong Staff of the Qian Gu family is also on the list.

However, after Qian Gu Huang Yu took out the Great Sage's Golden Cudgel from the Gate of Babylon and pretended it as his own martial soul, he completely ended the match.

Thus, the Qian Gu family, as the royal family of the time, has solidified its position as the number one weapon spirit in the world with its inherited martial spirit, the Panlong Staff.

However, following the principle that anyone can be the best in the world as long as there are enough modifiers, the Phoenix Feather of the Ancient Era gave the Panlong Staff the best explosive weapon spirit in the world.

The world's number one control-type weapon spirit was given to Chen Hanyu: the Golden Trident.

The number one humanoid martial soul in the world was given to Qian Renxue's six-winged angel.

The main idea is that everyone has a share.

Now that they had met, the conversation naturally moved beyond Tang Wulin. The topic of Tang Wulin was quickly skipped, and the three of them started chatting about everyday things.

Time has passed, and the three children from back then all have their own families now. Except for Qian Gu Qing Feng, who has no children, Qian Gu Huang Yu and Qian Gu Dong Feng both have their own descendants.

When people inadvertently talk about the younger generation, they often mention whose child is the most obedient, whose child is the most mischievous, and whose child is the most studious…

“My son always feels that I’m too controlling, and he’s always complaining to me that he’s an adult now,” Qian Gu Dongfeng said helplessly.

"It's the same here. Jialin is full of her own ideas right now. If there's anything she doesn't want to do, she just goes to Guyue to escape." Qian Gu Huang Yu was also very helpless.

"My child is much more well-behaved," Qian Gu Qingfeng said with a sigh.

Of course, "Qian Gu Qing Feng" does not refer to his biological children, as he and Xia Zheng Leng have no children. He is referring to Xia Zheng Leng's disciple, who shares the same sonic wave-type martial soul as her.

"And those little guys at the Spirit Pagoda are getting more and more outrageous lately. They can't even memorize the Soul Beast Catalog. How did they pass the job assessment?" Qian Gu Dongfeng complained.

"I went to ask the master of the Spirit Pagoda in Shrek City what kind of spirits he had, and he told me that I had to ask the director first. In the end, I even asked the part-time worker all the way!"

“You’re nothing,” Qian Gu Qingfeng said. “I’ve been out of politics for decades, but people still ask me to go back and reorganize the judicial system from time to time. They say that after the change in search methods, evidence issues are now easy to resolve, but right now the problem is difficult to solve.”

Even after the empire was established, Qian Gu Qingfeng served as the Minister of Justice for more than a decade. During his tenure, no matter how high-ranking the official was or how powerful their background, anyone who broke the law would be caught and sentenced.

Even when it comes to conquering the Douluo Empire, no one has a stronger background than him, which makes many judges and investigators nostalgic for that era.

The innocent victim, Qian Gu Huang Yu, pouted and said, "I can't help it. We're all good comrades, so I can only punish myself with three drinks and be more careful next time!"

In a daze, Qian Gu Dong Feng felt as if time had returned to a long time ago, when they were all just children and did not have such an important position on Douluo Star.

But back then, the three of them would get together and chat about everything under the sun.

Qian Gu Dongfeng blinked, his expression momentarily dazed. He couldn't remember the last time the three of them had gathered together like this.

Because they lived close to Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai, and their families were old friends, the five of them would always go together for any activities.

Qian Gu Die Ting didn't seem like the type to hold family dinners, so the three of them rarely spent time together.

Later, Gu Yuena and Qian Renxue also arrived, so the three of them had even less time together.
