Peerless Douluo: Blood of the Black King Nidhogg!

Chapter 127 Heaven and Earth, I Alone Am Supreme! (5K)

In the deepest room of the left passage beneath the Golden Tree, the four attributes of wind, fire, ice, and spirit were continuously absorbed into Mo Yuan's body like a whale sucking up hundreds of rivers, and at the same time, his aura rose higher and higher.

When that aura reached its peak, Mo Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, his golden pupils ignited, and a majestic dark golden light illuminated all around, rendering the room a golden hue.

At this moment, with the blessing of four soul bones and a bottle of 100,000-year-old ancient dragon blood, Mo Yuan's soul power level had reached level sixty. Moreover, during his deep meditation, he consolidated all his previous alchemy skills once again and finally mastered them, far surpassing his previous level.

After gathering his scattered soul power, Mo Yuan stretched his slightly stiff body and then exhaled a deep breath.

"As expected, the Body Sect and the Sun Moon Empire have come, but what I didn't expect was that Huo Yuhao would join the Body Sect. Things are unpredictable..."

More than a month has passed since he went into seclusion and the attack by the Body Sect. He has seen everything that happened during this time by using a portion of his mind to observe the Vacuum Serpent and the Kamaitachi.

He was naturally aware of the exchange student plan proposed by Jing Hongchen, and like Mu En, he definitely wouldn't go to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Going there in Mo Yuan's capacity would be tantamount to a one-way trip, and would only create more trouble.

Even if he really had to go, why not use Ye Xuan's identity? One is an outsider who needs to be watched, the other is a super Douluo, a distinguished guest of the empire. How could he not tell which one is better?
Mo Yuan hadn't expected Zhang Lexuan to be assigned as an exchange student at first, but considering the importance of the Hongchen siblings in the empire, it made sense.

After all, would the Sun Moon Empire feel at ease sending other inner court disciples? Unless Mu En is willing to send Bei Bei out and make his identity clear.

As for the outcome, it goes without saying that Zhang Lexuan would have no chance of refusing what Mu En said.

Mo Yuan slowly stood up, straightened his robes, pushed open the door, entered the passageway, and went straight into the hall.

Seemingly sensing that Mo Yuan was about to emerge from seclusion, Mu En had been waiting there for a long time. Looking at the young man who was walking slowly towards him, a smile appeared in Mu En's eyes, and he said softly.

"Child, can you tell this old man what your path is?"

He didn't ask Mo Yuan if he had found his own path, because he knew that for a genius like Mo Yuan, finding his own path was a very simple matter.

Indeed, this is true. Mo Yuan knew his path very early on, and if he had to express it in words, perhaps those eight words could summarize it.

The golden light of his eyes appeared. Mo Yuan's expression was calm, and his eyes were undisturbed. He stood with his feet staggered, then pointed one finger to the sky, as if traversing the sky to the realm of gods, and pointed the other finger to the earth, as if breaking through the earth and reaching the Netherworld.

"I am the only one in heaven and under heaven."

Mu En's expression stiffened visibly, and a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes. But when he finally came to his senses after a long while, he saw that Mo Yuan had returned to his previous gentle and refined appearance.

"Very good, very good. In heaven and earth, I am the only one who is supreme. It is a terrifying and amazing path. However, I believe that with your talent, you will definitely be able to reach the end on this path."

Mu En smiled and said, "I see you've already reached level sixty, meeting the requirements for graduating from the inner court. So, have you decided on your future plans?"

Mo Yuan said, "After I finish acquiring the soul rings in a few days, I plan to go out and train on the continent for a few years, and also complete the rest of the surveillance missions. As for what happens after that, we'll talk about it then."

“That’s true. Flowers in a greenhouse can never compare to wild grass on the edge of a cliff. It’s good for him to get some experience.” Mu En did not refuse Mo Yuan’s request for training. As long as he was alive, he could guarantee that Mo Yuan would not have any problems.

"You must be very tired after being in seclusion for so long. Go and rest. I will arrange the hunting of spirit rings."

"it is good."

Mo Yuan nodded. He sat cross-legged in place for more than 30 days without moving. Even he felt a little uncomfortable. After saying goodbye to Mu En, he left the Sea God Pavilion and returned to his dormitory in the bamboo forest.

It was nightfall, but there was not a single light in either of the dormitories.

"Huh? Senior sister isn't in the dorm? Is she still studying in the library?"

Mo Yuan was somewhat disappointed. He had planned to relax after the competition, but unfortunately Ning Tian still wanted to postpone it until an important day. Helpless, he had no choice but to 'sign' and obediently go back to his room, making it seem like he was doing the Inch Stop Challenge.

After finally returning to the academy, he spent more than a month underground under the Golden Tree. When he came out of seclusion, his senior sister was nowhere to be found. Mo Yuan began to wonder if some 'mysterious force' was preventing him from doing so.

Since Han Ruoruo wasn't there, Mo Yuan had no choice but to go back to his dormitory and rest and get some sleep. The moment Mo Yuan finished washing up and walked into his bedroom, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

There's a second breath here!

Even though the aura was deliberately suppressed, he still noticed it. Just as Mo Yuan was about to leave the bedroom, a pair of slender, fair arms suddenly wrapped around his waist.

Smelling the familiar, faint floral fragrance, Mo Yuan's tense body immediately relaxed. When he turned around, he saw Han Ruoruo quietly watching him with a smile in her eyes.

"Long time no see, junior brother~ Have you missed your senior sister?"

"I do, of course I do."

As he spoke, Mo Yuan turned around and picked Han Ruoruo up from the ground.

Han Ruoruo was caught off guard by this sudden action and stared blankly at Mo Yuan, asking him a question.

"Junior brother, what do you want to do?"

Mo Yuan nodded, his expression sincere. "I want to."

"?"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Han Ruoruo immediately reacted. A tempting blush quickly rose on her face, and she said nothing, her eyes filled with shyness.

After all, could she have come here at night to discuss some issues related to martial spirits with Mo Yuan?
Their eyes met, and everything was understood without a word...

……

"Hey, I just heard a junior say she saw Mo Yuan, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye. Did he go back to his dorm?"

Ma Xiaotao walked along the bamboo path outside Mo Yuan's dormitory, heading deeper into the forest. As previously agreed, everyone was supposed to hold a celebration banquet, firstly to celebrate, and secondly because after the competition, people like Dai Yueheng would graduate from the inner academy and go their separate ways, so it was a way to reconnect before leaving.

However, since Mo Yuan was left at the Sea God Pavilion, this matter has been delayed until now. Not long ago, Ma Xiaotao had just returned from the outer academy when she heard from a junior that she had seen Mo Yuan. Therefore, she decided to come and ask Mo Yuan if he had time tomorrow.

As Ma Xiaotao walked through the bamboo forest, she saw that the lights in the two dormitories were not turned on.

"Is she not here? Or has she already gone to sleep?"

Ma Xiaotao walked to the door of Mo Yuan's dormitory, intending to knock and see if Mo Yuan was inside. But as soon as she raised her hand, she seemed to hear a sound and listened intently.

After a long while, Ma Xiaotao's eyes widened suddenly, her moist red lips parted slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief, and blushes quietly rose on her cheeks.

"This...could it be that Mo Yuan is currently..."

In a flash, Ma Xiaotao came to this most likely guess. She stared blankly at the door in front of her, various illegal images flashing through her mind.

For some inexplicable reason, she reached out to open the door, but as soon as her hand touched the doorknob, she jerked it back as if she had been electrocuted.

After hesitating several times, Ma Xiaotao rubbed her burning cheeks, shook her head violently as if trying to shake off all the images in her mind, and then turned and left, muttering something under her breath.

"That voice... Mo Yuan must be doing something in there. Who is he talking to? Could it be Ning Tian, ​​junior sister? Luckily, it seems Ruoruo isn't in the dorm, otherwise... Wait! Could it be Ling Luochen?!"

Ma Xiaotao was startled by this thought, and then her phoenix wings suddenly spread out, carrying raging flames as she flew into the sky and charged towards Ling Luochen's dormitory.

……

The following evening, Shrek City.

"Cheers!" A dozen glasses filled with wine clinked together, making a crisp sound.

All the Shrek Academy participants in this competition were present at the dinner table, including Xi Xi, Gongyang Mo, and Yao Haoxuan, who had been absent due to injuries before the competition started. Of course, Huo Yuhao, who had already joined the Body Sect, was not there.

After Xu Sanshi finished all the drinks in his glass in one gulp, he poured himself another glass, stood up, and said to Mo Yuan sitting opposite him, "Brother Mo, this glass is for you. If it weren't for your constant help, I probably wouldn't have been able to get past the Death Messenger, let alone win the championship. I have no way to repay your life-saving grace. If you need anything in the future, just let me know, and I, Xu Sanshi, will be there for you anytime!"

"I second that! Brother Mo, I'll also toast you! If it weren't for your ice sculpture that saved me, I think I wouldn't be sitting here drinking right now, but lying under a tombstone somewhere in my hometown."

"Forget it, why say so much? All the feelings are in the drink. Brother Mo, do as you please, I'll drink this!"

Yao Haoxuan, whom we haven't seen for a long time, also stood up, raised his wine glass to Mo Yuan, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Gongyang Mo and Xixi, who had been saved by Mo Yuan, also stood up and toasted Mo Yuan one by one.

"Mo Yuan, I'd also like to toast you!"

"Me too."

Faced with everyone's toasts, Mo Yuan didn't put on airs and returned the toasts one by one. They had all been together for at least a few months and were already familiar with each other.

Knowing that Mo Yuan was very approachable outside of competitions, even those who weren't very familiar with him, such as He Caitou and Wang Dong, relaxed and drank freely together.

As Mo Yuan was drinking, he felt a chill beside him and something was wrong. He turned his head and saw Ma Xiaotao staring at him intently with a strange look in her eyes.

That wasn't the end of it. When Mo Yuan looked away, he saw that Ling Luochen was doing the same thing, but she wasn't looking at him; she was looking at Ma Xiaotao.

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?" Mo Yuan asked.

Ma Xiaotao opened her mouth, wanting to use the courage emboldened by the alcohol to ask in detail about what happened last night. After all, she had seen Ling Luochen's dormitory and there was nothing wrong with it, and she had also carefully observed Ning Tian just now and found nothing that was different from before.

Therefore, the woman in Mo Yuan's dormitory last night must have been someone else, and most likely someone from the Inner Court.

Thinking of this, Ma Xiaotao felt a nameless anger rise up, as if she had been beaten to it. If it were Ning Tian, ​​she would have tolerated it, since Ning Tian was indeed one step ahead of her.

But she was clearly the second one to arrive! And then she just disappeared while holding hands with someone?

"Hmph, go drink your wine, but don't ruin your health, or someone will be heartbroken."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yuan was immediately bewildered, unaware that his words would have a different meaning when heard by others.

In most people's eyes, the relationship between Mo Yuan and Ning Tian was practically an open secret, so they thought Ma Xiaotao was teasing Mo Yuan and Ning Tian, ​​and they all laughed and joked around.

Ning Tian thought that Ma Xiaotao had discovered what happened the night after the competition, and her pretty face turned red. However, she was not very shy. She just took Mo Yuan's arm in a generous manner and then gave Ling Luochen a provocative smile.

What's going on? It seems like everyone else knows what's going on, and I'm the only one who doesn't?
Mo Yuan, who hadn't understood what Ma Xiaotao had said to begin with, was completely bewildered.

Fortunately, Ma Xiaotao thought that Mo Yuan was pretending to be stupid, so she stopped asking questions and turned to pull Ling Luochen, who was exchanging glances with Ning Tian, ​​to drink.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, someone started talking about post-graduation plans, since most of them were about to meet the graduation requirements of the inner academy.

“I just finished my last surveillance mission a few days ago, but I’ll probably be leaving in a few days. I plan to go back to my father’s army for some training first,” Dai Yueheng said.

Yao Haoxuan followed up with his future plans, "I'm in a similar situation. I'll go home in a few months after my soul power level reaches the required level. But Brother Mo, my promise to you still stands. I'll be there whenever you call."

The arrangements for the others, such as Gongyang Mo and Xixi, were similar. In fact, according to the previous arrangements, they should have all planned to stay at Shrek Academy.

But the matter of the Grim Reaper was ultimately too chilling. If Mo Yuan hadn't intervened in time, they might have become one of the few Soul Masters on the continent who could be killed by a Soul King even while being protected by a level 98 Super Douluo.

If we stay any longer, who knows what other trouble might arise later.

"Oh, by the way, Mo Yuan, you should be level 60 by now, right? How about it? Why don't you come and train in my Xingluo army after graduation?" Dai Yueheng extended an olive branch to Mo Yuan. As the son of the White Tiger Duke, he naturally thought of bringing Mo Yuan to their side, just like Ning Tian.

"I haven't decided yet, but after I get the spirit ring in a few days, I plan to travel around the continent first."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened in astonishment. If they remembered correctly, this was only Mo Yuan's second year of school, right? How could he have risen from the Soul Sect to become the Soul Emperor?

Sometimes it's no wonder they make such a fuss; the difference between people is truly greater than that between humans and pigs. Things that they can only dream of are easily within Mo Yuan's reach.

After a brief moment of surprise, Ma Xiaotao seemed to realize something and said with a delighted expression,

"My soul power level just broke through to level 70 a few days ago, and I was planning to go to the Star Dou Great Forest. Why don't we go together?"

Mo Yuan thought for a moment and then nodded. "Okay."

Ning Tian and Ling Luochen also wanted to join in, but they were still a bit short of the next level, and forcing them to go together would only create unnecessary trouble.

After this topic was discussed, everyone drank for a while longer before ending the celebration banquet. Because of Huo Yuhao's situation, Bei Bei, He Caitou, Wang Dong, and a few other teammates who got along well with Huo Yuhao were somewhat distracted.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the others did not continue for long, since they could always get together whenever they wanted.

……

Two days later, at dawn, Han Ruoruo, dressed neatly, walked out of the dormitory with Mo Yuan and flew towards the east gate of Shrek City, facing the rising sun.

The Soul Hunting Team consisted of five people. Mo Yuan and Ma Xiaotao were there to obtain Soul Rings, while Han Ruoruo and Zhang Lexuan were sent by Mu En to protect them. As for the extra blonde woman, Wu Ming, she joined the team after hearing about the event.

Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan didn't say much about this; having another combatant is always a good thing.

"Long time no see, Junior Brother Mo Yuan!"

Upon seeing Mo Yuan descend from the sky alongside Han Ruoruo, Wu Ming immediately greeted him warmly. This attitude caused Han Ruoruo to raise her eyebrows in disapproval, and she unceremoniously pulled her scheming best friend aside to teach her a lesson.

Mo Yuan simply smiled at this, then greeted Zhang Lexuan, who was stunningly beautiful and always had a gentle smile on her face.

"Sister."

Zhang Lexuan smiled and nodded, then tugged at Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming, who were playing and laughing beside her, and said to everyone,

"Well, now that everyone is here, let's set off. This time, in addition to us, Elder Song from the Sea God Pavilion and Elder Gong from the Beast King will be following us in the shadows. But unless it is absolutely necessary, we will have to solve our own problems."

Old Master Song and Gong Changlong? Tsk, it seems Old Master Mu has also noticed something's wrong with Xuanzi and doesn't dare let him do this kind of thing anymore?

Mo Yuan thought to himself, "That makes sense. This is the Douluo Continent. There might really be some mysterious and mysterious things here."

For example, whenever Xuanzi leads the team, there will be a 50% chance of a major problem with the interest rate.

"Alright, let's set off quickly and try to reach the Star Dou Great Forest before noon."

After saying that, the five of them leaped into the sky and sped towards the distant Starry Sky Forest. Behind them, Old Song and Gong Changlong, who were hidden in the shadows, exchanged a glance and nodded, then followed closely behind.

It can be said that the pressure on the two of them on this trip was as heavy as a mountain, not to mention the three exceptionally talented disciples, Ma Xiaotao, Han Ruoruo, and Wu Ming, who will become the backbone of Shrek Academy in the future.

The mere presence of Zhang Lexuan and Mo Yuan kept them on edge for the slightest, because if either Zhang Lexuan or Mo Yuan were to have an accident, Shrek Academy would be truly on the verge of collapse.
