Douluo: Shark Hunting Blade, Lurking in the Dark!

Chapter 21 My destiny no longer belongs to the empire! (Please read on)

After meeting with Poseidon, Lan left Poseidon Island.

The main purpose was to go over and say hello to the God of the Sea. After all, the God of the Sea had helped him a lot.

Before leaving, Poseidon didn't say anything, but just suggested that Lan try to bring some fresh blood back to Poseidon Island.

The continent has been silent for too long, and war might break out someday.

At present, the overall strength of Poseidon Island is good, but this is only on the surface. Poseidon Island lacks young talents, and even the people who can inherit the positions of the seven guardians of the holy pillars have not appeared yet.

As time goes by, if this generation of guardians of the Seven Sacred Pillars dies and there is no suitable candidate to take their place, it will be a major blow to Poseidon Island.

Lan didn't have any instructions for Poseidon and the others. After all, he was a hands-off boss. He would only show up when the sea was in crisis, except for Poseidon Island.

Now Lan is going to settle the karma of his first half of life and start his new life at the same time.

When Chu Li was still twenty years old,
Now it has been less than a year since I returned.

Before he knew it, Lan had been on Poseidon Island for nearly twelve years.

The young man who had been struggling to find freedom in the darkness has now become the independent Lord of Guixu.

All these changes started with an assassination mission.
…………

a few days later.

The border of the Xingluo Empire, Hailin City.

Lan arrived at the gate of an advanced soul master academy.

The words "Canglan" are engraved on it.

Canglan Advanced Soul Master Academy.

Lan wanted to enter the college but was stopped by the guard.

"Who are you?"

"No one is allowed to enter the academy without permission."

The security guard was an old man who looked a little lazy.

"I came to see Dean Wells and said that an old friend came to see me."

"Looking for the dean?"

The old man looked at Lan suspiciously, as if he remembered something.

"Okay, I'll take you in."

The old man brought Lan into the college.

The scale of this academy is not very large, and it probably covers an area of only about a hundred acres. There is only one lonely teaching building, and next to it there is a simulated training building specially for sea soul masters.

The old man took Lan to the mimicry training building.

At this time, Wells was teaching students.

"Dean, why can't our sea soul masters participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition?"

"This is not fair!"

"How exactly are our sea soul masters inferior to those soul masters on the mainland?"

The blue-haired young man in the lead clenched his fists, his face full of unwillingness.

"Yeah, aren't we the young genius of the Empire?"

"The Empire is too partial!"

The other six young men and girls also echoed.

The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition is the stage that every young soul master dreams of.

There, they can sweat to their heart's content and show the world their years of hard work, talent and passion. They long for the spotlight.

It can be said that there is no soul master who does not yearn for the All-Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition.

After all, what young man is not passionate?

Including Lan, when he first entered the killer training camp, he and his friends had a fantasy of joining hands to break into the Soul Master Competition and move towards the championship throne.

But things backfired,
The beautiful fantasy of those years has long been shattered, and only Lan is left.

Lan is no longer a teenager now.

I want to buy osmanthus flowers and carry wine together, but it is not like the youthful travel. Facing the children's reluctance, Wells just sighed slightly.

Many years ago, the two empires allowed sea soul masters to participate in the continent-wide advanced soul master elite academy competition, but the results were far from satisfactory. Not to mention the promotion competition, each generation of sea soul master academy could not even pass the preliminaries.

Later, the Empire felt that the Sea Soul Master Academy was wasting its places in the competition, so they simply excluded the Sea Soul Master Academy, and it was no longer allowed to participate in the Soul Master Competition.

This is a heavy blow to those young sea soul masters who want to participate in the soul master competition.

Suddenly, Wells noticed Lan standing in front of the window, his eyes slightly surprised.

after class.

Wells brought Lan to his office.

"Lan, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have changed a lot."

Wells looked at Lan's changed appearance and smiled.

Even though Wells had been with Lan for many years, he might not have recognized Lan if Wells hadn't written a letter asking him to come back.

Lan looked at Wells's weathered face and silver-white hair and said calmly, "Teacher, you have changed a lot too."

"I didn't expect you would choose teaching."

Wells has retired. He opened the college during the past ten years. The two of them had been exchanging letters on and off over the years, so Lan naturally knew about it.

"Well, I have nothing to do, so I'm going to adapt to the retirement life in advance."

"It can be considered as making up for the mistakes I made over the years."

Wells looked melancholy.

He is the head of the Black Ice organization, and it was he who brought Lan to Black Ice and made him an assassin.

A big part of the reason why Lan had a dark childhood was because of him.

if we assume,
Qian Renxue is the second person who changed Lan's fate, and Wells is the first.

Lan was silent for a long time.

Wells was indeed the culprit of his dark life, but he just couldn't hate him.

It was Wells who saved his life and avenged the villagers of the small fishing village. Moreover, Wells took great care of him during these years in Black Ice. Otherwise, Lan would not have become the number one assassin in Black Ice in just a few years. It was also Wells who taught him many things about life and survival.

"Teacher, there's no point in saying this now, is there?"

"I came here for only one purpose this time. You should understand."

Lan said softly.

"it is good."

Wells took out a secret letter and said slowly, "This is the target of your mission this time."

Lan took the secret letter and scanned the contents.

"Within five years, Tiandou Empire's Crown Prince Xue Qinghe?"

Lan was slightly surprised.

Last time the Empire asked him to kill the Pope's daughter, and this time he asked him to kill the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire. It seems that what the Sea God said was right, and the continent is really going to be in chaos.

"Originally, the empire didn't plan to act so quickly, but Xue Qinghe is extremely cunning. As soon as he became the crown prince, he used thundering means to clean up the interior of the Tiandou Empire. He is much stronger than Emperor Xue Ye."

Wells paused for a moment and said, "And this prince of the Tiandou Empire seems to have a deep grudge against our Xingluo Empire."

"He has secretly interfered with the Empire many times, causing the Empire to lose face."

"This mission is extremely difficult. If you are unwilling to accept it, I will find a way to negotiate with His Majesty."

Before Wells finished speaking,
Lan stood up slowly, and stars seemed to flash in his narrow and deep eyes.

"There is no need to ask His Majesty for instructions."

"Because my destiny no longer belongs to the empire."

Before Wells could react.

Nine soul rings gradually rose up under Lan’s feet: purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red, red, and red!

The aura of the Titled Douluo swept in all directions, and the tables, chairs, and benches in the room were crushed into powder in an instant!
Wells' eyes widened, a look of horror flashed across his eyes.

"Nine...Nine-ring title?!"
