Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 375 The Sun and Moon Encircle the Ming Capital, Catching a Turtle in a Jar
"Tuo has recovered." Qiu'er was indeed the first to notice that Yuwen Tuo was not normal.

Her fate was intertwined with Yuwen Tuo's, and she was also his assistant in the divine test. When Yuwen Tuo became stronger, she could feel that her power of destiny was also greatly enhanced.

“That’s right, Xiao Tuo has not only recovered, but his power has also increased!” Although Ling Luochen’s feelings were not as deep as Qiu’er’s, she and Yuwen Tuo shared the divine positions of husband and wife, and the Fire God Seal and the Water God Seal could sense each other.

"That's great, that's great." Xiao Xiao didn't think too much about it; she just wanted to know that Yuwen Tuo was alright.

Meanwhile, at the Guigu School, in Vina's room, Xu Jiujiu and the Shrek Academy finally found their way there.

On the surface, Vina and Xu Jiujiu have a very good relationship, and the two call each other sisters.

At this moment, the room is filled with the top forces from the original three kingdoms of Douluo Continent: the Star Luo Empire, the Heavenly Soul Empire, and Shrek Academy.

The only one missing is the Douling Empire. There's no way around it; Douling's strength is simply too weak. In this tournament, all their teams have already been eliminated, and they haven't sent any Title Douluos, so there's no point in looking for them.

"Sister Jiu Jiu, what do you want with us? You even brought Shrek with you." Vina asked knowingly, glancing at Shrek with a feigned displeasure, implying that Xu Jiu Jiu was unaware of the animosity between their Body Sect and Shrek.

“Vina, we do have important matters to discuss with Shrek Academy. Could you please put aside your differences for now and let us have a proper talk?” Xu Jiujiu asked sincerely and politely.

Vina didn't make things too difficult for her. She walked to the sofa and said, "Okay, Sister Jiu Jiu, please sit down. And everyone from Shrek Academy, please sit down too. I know why you came to see me. It seems you've finally discovered the Sun Moon Empire's little tricks."

Xu Jiujiu was taken aback at first, then smiled knowingly. Vina was much smarter than her; if she could figure it out, how could Vina not?

Xu Jiujiu nodded. "Yes, when we first arrived in Mingdu, we didn't find anything. But as time went on, when our competition reached the round-robin stage, I felt something was wrong. I sent three waves of spies back to the Empire to deliver the news of the competition, but these three waves of spies disappeared without a trace, as if they had vanished into thin air."

"In order to investigate the true situation, my grandmother Manyi, who is titled Nebula and has a level 93 cultivation, decided to return to Xingluo in person. However, even she has disappeared without a trace and has not returned, which has made me very vigilant. Later, I sent people to investigate from various places and finally discovered some clues. At this moment, it seems that a net has been laid around Mingdu, and now Mingdu City is in a situation where you can only enter but not leave."

Vina laughed, "It seems that the Sun Moon Empire wants to wipe out all the Douluo Continent teams that are participating in this competition. No, their real goal is to protect the hidden forces of each team."

Bullying a group of young people is not Xu Tianran's real goal; eliminating the Title Douluo who protects these young people is the true purpose of Xu Tianran's plan.

Why did the Sun Moon Empire lose its war against the Three Kingdoms? Was it because of the young people? Of course not! No matter how talented they were, as long as they hadn't grown into Title Douluos, they weren't a big threat. Of course, monsters like the Yuwen siblings were an exception.

The real reason was that Shrek Academy gathered more than sixty titled Douluo from across the continent and swept through the Soul Master Legion of the Sun Moon Empire.

Therefore, Xu Tianran wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate a large number of Title Douluos and even Super Douluos from various countries. This way, when the Sun Moon Empire launched its war, how could the remaining forces of the original three kingdoms possibly withstand its onslaught? This was something not only Vina, but also Xu Jiujiu and Huo Yuhao could think of.

Huo Yuhao looked at Vina with a puzzled expression. In such a great crisis, this princess seemed a little too calm.

Could it be because she has the backing of the Body Sect? Has Poison Undying already arrived?
But so what? The Sun Moon Empire also has Long Xiaoyao. Once Poison Undying is blocked, how can they escape the Sun Moon Empire's encirclement?
Huo Yuhao said, "Princess Vina, are you aware that the Sun Moon Empire's actions indicate that they are prepared to wage war?"

After taking a deep breath, he agreed, "Huo Yuhao is right, we must not be careless."

The Sun Moon Empire's actions at this moment signify that they are launching a simultaneous invasion of the Douling Empire, the Tianhun Empire, and the Xingluo Empire. This will be an unprecedented and massive war! But are the three nations originally belonging to the Douluo Continent truly prepared for war?
In any case, Xingluo has not fought for many years and does not want to start a war at this time.

Vina retorted, "So what if you know? It won't change the Sun Moon Empire's mind at all. Is the purpose of your two sides coming here today to join forces with us and fight your way out?"

“That’s right, Sister Vina, let me get straight to the point. I currently have three Title Douluos with me, while Shrek Academy, besides their team leader, Lord Po Xie, also has Soul Douluo Roma Xiao Tao, who possesses the Ultimate Flame and has strength comparable to a Title Douluo. In addition, there are Lord Mind, Lord Divine Brain, and Yuwen Tuo by your side. It’s quite a formidable force.”

"If we join forces with other teams and gather ten people with the strength of Title Douluo, it shouldn't be too difficult. That's better than sitting and waiting for death."

“Sister Jiu Jiu, I admit your plan is feasible, but it’s too pessimistic. You know, the Sun Moon Empire is already prepared for this war, but we are not. Rather than leaving in such a sorry state, we should turn the tables and deliver a fierce blow to the Sun Moon Empire right here in Mingdu to slow down their advance,” Vina said.

Xu Jiujiu was startled. "A strike? But with our limited strength, how can we even talk about a strike?"

She would love to fight back, but she doesn't see any good opportunities.

“Princess Vina, your thinking is too simplistic. At this time, we should prioritize self-preservation,” Cai Meier said. “Actually, Shrek Academy has also been investigating during this period. In reality, the Sun Moon Empire has not completely surrounded Mingdu on all four sides, but has left one side open, leaving the west side undefended.”

"This is a deliberately left-away path to prevent us from overexerting ourselves. As long as we break through in that direction, our chances of winning are not low."

In the original story, they might have considered retaliating, which would have involved assassinating Xu Tianran.

However, due to Yuwen Tuo's previous actions, Shrek Academy's strongest power was gone. At this moment, Cai Meier only wanted to successfully evacuate and save these children for the academy, as they were the future of the academy.
