Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 337 Ling Luochen: I'm sorry, Wang Dong, we actually came here on a mission...

"You've left Shrek Academy too?"

Xiao Xiao's expression showed slight surprise. Wang Dong was the young sect leader of the Haotian Sect. If he left Shrek Academy, wouldn't that mean that the Haotian Sect and Shrek Academy had also severed their relationship?
"Yeah, there's nothing useful in that godforsaken place, and you're all gone, so what's the point of me staying there?"

Wang Dong looked completely unconcerned, indicating that it was a trivial matter and not worth mentioning. He added that he was now free to roam as he pleased.

In the distance, Ling Luochen's eyelids lifted, his eyes lighting up, and a strange light appeared in his gaze as he stared at Wang Dong.

So all the Shrek people who come to the Sun and Moon have to remove their "glory"?
For more than two years, she, Zhang Lexuan, and Xiao Xiao have been cultivating peacefully and steadily, making steady progress in their cultivation. Xu Sanshi, who has been staying here, often runs around with Xiao Hongchen. It is said that he has even bought a residence in Mingdu, clearly intending to stay for a long time. As a result, Jiang Nannan has also said goodbye to Shrek Academy for good.

The young sect leader of the Xuanming Sect has been cultivating in the Sun Moon Empire for over two years without returning... If you think about it more deeply, could there be some tacit approval from certain important figures in the Xuanming Sect behind this? It's hard to imagine.

He Caitou is still being held in a special prison, and few people know where he is now. Unless Shrek launches another suicide attack, the possibility of him being released is almost zero.

Now that Wang Dong is gone, Shrek Academy's once-in-a-century golden generation has almost collapsed, with only Bei Bei still carrying the burden. It is expected that they will continue to lose the championship in the next competition.

With Bei Bei, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and the others, Ling Luochen could easily deduce that they were no match for that terrifying guy.

Thinking of the Heavenly Court Lord who was elusive and disappeared for two years, who quietly created a soul spirit, established his own sect, and even brought in powerful beasts from the two major soul beast gathering places, Star Dou and the Far North, to his side, Ling Luochen couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

More than two years ago, they suffered a crushing defeat on the field.

In a direct confrontation, even with all her power-ups, Bei Bei was no match for Xu Tianxi. Xu Tianxi shot her through the chest, nearly killing her.

Ma Xiaotao's powerful attack was broken by Xu Tianxi using Beibei as a shield. She was then relentlessly pursued by Xu Tianxi, and even the intervention of the evil soul master, Super Douluo, could not save her life.

He punched him through the abdomen with a martial arts technique, then grabbed his ankle and flung him away, seriously injuring Ning Tian. Just thinking about the scene where he was dizzy and turned into a "windmill" to smash into Ning Tian filled Ling Luo Chen with a deep sense of shame and fear.

If you can fight, fine, but why can't you just use another soul tool to knock Ning Tian away? Why are you using me as a weapon? I'm a genius, I have my pride too, okay?
(Ning Tian: I'm dead if he uses a soul tool, you cold-blooded woman! Bah!)
(Xu Tianxi: I thought Ma Xiaotao's malicious killing on the field was ruthless enough, but I didn't expect Shrek Academy to have such a master! You're not even satisfied that I didn't use a large-scale weapon against your teammate? I'll give you a shot next time.)
A blush crept onto her cheeks, then vanished just as quickly. Ling Luochen regained her cool and aloof expression, lost in thought, contemplating what the next competition would be like in more than two years.

Perhaps, just like last time, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team, led by that terrifying figure, crushed all their opponents and won the championship in one fell swoop?
But for that person, if he had already lost to top geniuses whose average age was five years older than him, was there any point in fighting against people his own age?
"Unless an unprecedented Soul Saint-level genius appears in the next competition, no one will be his match."

A thought popped into Ling Luochen's mind, and he smiled bitterly to himself. Over the past ten thousand years, Shrek Academy has produced countless geniuses, but no one has ever fought on the tournament stage as a seven-ring Soul Saint. Xu Tianxi, however, is definitely capable of doing so.

With eyes like divine swords and brows sharp as swords, he exudes composure and confidence on the field. He is a terrifying figure destined to overwhelm this generation of geniuses.

Perhaps a young Mu could rival him, but the odds of winning are hard to say. The mini version of Mu Enbebe is clearly not up to par, as he hasn't even fully awakened the Holy Dragon of Light.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex was vaguely considered the number one beast spirit in the world ten thousand years ago, but in this era, it is clearly no longer able to defend its position as the overlord.

At this moment, Wang Dong let out a few soft laughs, interrupting Ling Luochen's thoughts.

"Hehe, Xiao Xiao, it's rare for us to meet. We're definitely going to have some fun. You've been in the Sun Moon Empire for over two years, do you know any fun places to go?"

Xiao Xiao opened her mouth slightly, and hesitated before saying, "Ah... I've been cultivating and living in Mingdu for the past two years, and haven't gone out much, so I'm not very clear about it. Why don't you come with me back to the temporary academy in Mingdu for a visit? The cultivation atmosphere there is very good..."

For more than two years, Xiao Xiao's few outings were almost all internal activities organized by the Soul Guidance Department of the Real Control System, such as participating in exchange competitions with other top academies in the Sun Moon Empire.

In reality, other departments within the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy couldn't stand the Control Department's group of lunatics who, under Ji Juechen's influence and Xu Tianxi's spiritual guidance, were constantly looking for fights. They were pushing hard for these guys to get rid of themselves, and Jing Hongchen readily agreed.

Most of the people Xu Tianxi brought back were warmongers. If they couldn't find any evil soul masters, they would spar with their own people. Sometimes, Jing Hongchen even felt that Ji Juechen's gaze towards him showed a desire to fight. He quickly threw them out to wreak havoc on other academies.

Jing Hongchen was quite satisfied with the outcome.

After being visited by Ji Juechen's team at the madhouse, top domestic academies such as Mingdu Soul Master Academy completely lost their ambition to catch up with Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. They simply insisted on sending them out and recommending them to wreak havoc on other academies.

Besides that, Xiao Xiao went out to participate in the team building activity for outstanding students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. However, such occasions were mostly related to soul tools. There were few people in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy as lazy in their cultivation as Wang Dong. He hardly considered entertainment and was busy working hard, with everyone burning with anger.

The dean said that Kong Tianxi, the nation's number one genius in a thousand years, never slept while cultivating at school. He always used meditation instead of hibernation. When he was full of energy, he was either fighting with the sword madman Ji Juechen or burying himself in the laboratory researching advanced soul tools. That's how he led the team to achieve a remarkable achievement that attracted nationwide attention.

The power of role models is paramount, and those involved, such as Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, have never denied these claims. Whenever they talk about Xu Tianxi, they always have an air of "this kid's cultivation is like a madman," so no one has ever doubted this. In fact, the difference between Xu Tianxi and the rumors is probably that he still occasionally sleeps, but that can't be called an exaggeration, because he spends almost all his nights absorbing moonlight and cultivating his spiritual power.

Xu Tianxi once told Xiao Hongchen in private, "Can a student who can't even overcome the desire to sleep be called a top genius? Genius is something that is achieved through relentless hard work!"

This sentence was included in "Quotes of the Royal Academy's Top Geniuses" by Meng Hongchen and made into a banner to be posted on the academy's wall of famous quotes, inspiring the entire academy to develop in the direction of relentless pursuit.

Perhaps because she had been traumatized by someone back then, Xiao Xiao had a deep impression of this sentence. She repeated it to Wang Dong and said that she had been living a very fulfilling life in the Sun Moon Empire and had been able to go three months out of the year without sleeping.

Hearing all this, Wang Dong felt as if the sky had collapsed. Her beautiful, bright eyes widened instantly, and she pointed at Xiao Xiao, wanting to say that she had changed. Surprise, sadness, and a variety of other emotions welled up in her heart.

Before I left Shrek Academy, I was under immense pressure. A bunch of crazy teachers were always nagging about how I had achieved glory and how I should train hard. After leaving Shrek Academy and coming to the Sun Moon Empire, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy turned out to be a paradise for the King of Scrolls. The pressure was still just as great.

Didn't Shrek Academy leave for nothing? My original intention in traveling all this way to the Sun Moon Empire was to have a vacation, not to get involved in this mess!
“Xiao Xiao, geniuses like us with twin martial souls don’t actually need to work this hard. There’s no need to rush cultivation.”

Wang Dong carefully examined Xiao Xiao, whose figure was still petite among her peers, but whose soul power was almost unmatched, and said that she didn't need to work so hard.

Xiao Xiao shook her head and insisted, "Wang Dong, you don't know, the academy told me that I can only have the opportunity to represent the academy if I break through to the Soul Emperor level before the next competition. I'm already over fourteen, and time is very tight. I don't have much time to waste."

Wang Dong's lips twitched, and he said, "I see you're already level 44. Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi probably aren't much stronger than you at your age. Why are you doing this? Is the competition at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy really that intense?"

"It's huge. There are so many monsters there that even my twin martial souls seem insignificant. Xu Sanshi is already trying to break through to the Soul Emperor realm. I don't know if I can catch up with him."

Xiao Xiao sighed deeply, and before she knew it, she had used the word "monster" to describe it.

"So, will you still have time to spend with me this time?" Wang Dong asked with concern.

"Of course I have time to spend with you."

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, so of course we should spend a few days together. The hospital has also given me a long leave of absence so I can show you around Mingdu."

"Wow, that's great! I'm going to eat all the delicious food in Mingdu and explore every street and alley in Mingdu!" Wang Dong's eyes sparkled.

At this moment, Ling Luochen walked in and said softly, "Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao is here to accompany you this time. I will be responsible for your safety and guidance. You can come to me if you have any needs. We... were classmates before, right?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, I definitely won't hold back if I need anything, Senior Ling."

Wang Dong jumped up, quickly packed his luggage, and waved to the two of them, saying, "Now, let's hurry back to Mingdu, shall we?"

Xiao Xiao followed with a smile, while Ling Luochen's expression became somewhat complicated as he quietly followed behind.

Seeing how happy Wang Dong was, she silently decided that she should not let Wang Dong know that Xiao Xiao had come out to see him, but also accepted a mission from a mysterious big shot in the hospital.

The mission was to let Wang Dong, the young master of the Haotian Sect, suspected of being a high-risk individual, indulge in a life of luxury and pleasure in Mingdu, using this "pleasure offensive" to numb his will and cut off his possibility of gathering important intelligence about Mingdu.

In particular, he must not be allowed to go near the Heavenly Court to investigate the soul technology that is still being secretly researched.

The reward for completing the mission is a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, which can sustain one through a very long period of arduous cultivation.

Of course, Ling Luochen also received a reward.

"I wonder who that important figure is. He's so generous. Everyone says the Sun Moon Empire is short of soul beast resources, but I see he has quite a lot. He can just casually give out ten-thousand-year soul bones as rewards."

Ling Luochen sighed inwardly, then opened his mind and sent a message to Zhang Lexuan to discuss the test.

"Senior Sister, Wang Dong is here. Xiao Xiao is quite infatuated with him. Can you help me think of a way to test him?"

I'm sorry, Wang Dong, we came here on a mission. We don't want to doubt your sincerity, but there are always some people above who are worried. As long as you're not a complete jerk, we won't make things too difficult for you.
