Peerless Douluo: Blood of the Black King Nidhogg!

Chapter 185 'Makoto Ito'

Shrek City.

At this time, the semester at Shrek Academy was coming to an end. During the following month-long vacation, the lower-grade students from the outer academy would be busy preparing for their promotion exams, while the upper-grade students from the outer academy would be taking exams to enter the inner academy or to graduate. Everyone had their own things to do.

Meanwhile, many first-year students have already arrived in Shrek City. Their faces are beaming with youthful smiles, their eyes curiously exploring this ancient city, filled with beautiful dreams for the future.

High above, Ye Guyi looked down at the bustling Shrek City with great curiosity.

"Is this Shrek City? It looks completely different from Mingdu."

“Indeed, the difference is huge,” Mo Yuan said, gazing at the shimmering Poseidon Lake in the distance and the faintly visible golden ancient tree, a smile appearing on his face. “Let’s go, let’s go straight to Poseidon Island.”

"Huh? Going straight to Poseidon Island? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Ye Guyi asked doubtfully.

Although she didn't know much about Shrek Academy, she was aware that Seagod Island was a very important place for Shrek Academy. Not to mention her, an outsider who was visiting for the first time, even ordinary students from the outer academy were not allowed to enter.

Mo Yuan smiled and said, "You don't understand. Nowadays, Shrek Academy can do anything I want."

Upon hearing this, Ye Guyi was first taken aback, then suddenly realized that it made sense. With Mo Yuan's current strength, even if he concealed his true abilities, he would still be able to occupy a significant position in Shrek Academy.

The black and gold streaks of light swept straight across Shrek City and Poseidon Lake, leaving two faint afterimages on the clear lake surface.

Mo Yuan's return quickly attracted the attention of Xuanzi and other elders. They sensed another unfamiliar aura descending, and Xuanzi and the others became curious. Before Mo Yuan and Ye Guyi arrived, they had already come to the shore of Sea God Lake to wait.

Not only that, Zhang Lexuan, Han Ruoruo, Ma Xiaotao, and the inner court disciples who had a good relationship with Mo Yuan also followed closely behind and arrived here.

With a flash of light, Mo Yuan and Ye Guyi descended from the sky and slowly landed on the ground.

"Welcome back to the academy, Mo Yuan." Xuan Zi greeted him first, without immediately inquiring about Ye Guyi.

The other elders also greeted them. Perhaps they had their own ulterior motives in the past, but as time went by, they no longer thought about them.

After all, no one knows how far Mo Yuan has come.

"It's been a long time, everyone," Mo Yuan nodded, then looked at Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo standing together and said with a smile, "Senior Sister, Senior Sister."

Zhang Lexuan nodded with a smile, then turned her gaze to Han Ruoruo beside her and the stunningly beautiful and elegant Ye Guyi, her eyes sparkling and her smile carrying a deeper meaning.

"Yes, welcome back, junior brother." Although Han Ruoruo said this, her gaze never left Ye Guyi. Her beautiful eyes were slightly narrowed as she stared intently at Ye Guyi.

Ma Xiaotao's reaction was similar. Looking at Ye Guyi's stunningly beautiful face, Ma Xiaotao frowned and her hands clenched involuntarily. The joy of the reunion was replaced by a deep sense of crisis.

Ling Luochen, however, did not do that. She merely glanced at Ye Guyi before turning her gaze back to Mo Yuan, never looking away.

Like Han Ruoruo, Ye Guyi and Han Ruoruo looked at each other calmly, a faint sense of tension spreading between their gazes.

Based on a woman's intuition, she didn't like Han Ruoruo, Ma Xiaotao, and Ling Luochen at first glance, and sure enough, their subsequent behavior confirmed her guess.

So many opponents? I wonder if there are any yet to appear... Ye Guyi thought to herself, while feeling a little strange. Just looking at the reactions of Mo Yuan and Zhang Lexuan, there was nothing particularly unusual about them. They were just ordinary friends, completely within the normal range. But she still had a feeling that something was wrong.

These young people nowadays… Xuanzi noticed something was off about the girls, and after thinking for a moment, he quickly changed the subject, looking at Ye Guyi and asking in a puzzled tone,

"Um... Mo Yuan, and who is this?"

Ye Guyi bowed to Xuanzi and said, "Hello, Elder Xuan, I am Yuan's childhood friend."

"Childhood friend?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately baffled, as if Louis XVI was on the guillotine. This shouldn't be the case; they had already thoroughly investigated Mo Yuan's background, knowing everything about him, not just his childhood friends, but even the ancestral graves of his ancestors for eighteen generations.

“That’s right, Gu Yi is indeed my childhood friend, but for various reasons, I haven’t seen him since childhood. We only met again recently when I traveled to the Sun Moon Empire.”

Mo Yuan then briefly recounted his past with Ye Guyi, the most important point being that Ye Guyi was the first and only person to defeat her.

Upon hearing this, not only were the elders, including Xuanzi, shocked, but even Han Ruoruo and Zhang Lexuan showed surprise. Their gazes toward Ye Guyi were no longer scrutinizing, but rather filled with deep doubt.

They all knew Mo Yuan's strength. If he wasn't just ordinary, he was an absolute genius. Plus, Ye Guyi didn't look very old, so how could she possibly defeat Mo Yuan?

Could she be a time-traveling warrior? Did she defeat young Mo Yuan using her future self? "Hiss..." Xuanzi gasped, "Mo Yuan, are you telling the truth? Did this girl really defeat you?"

At this moment, Yao Haoxuan suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead and said incredulously, "Hey! I suddenly remembered, Brother Mo, you seemed to have mentioned this during the Soul Master Competition. I thought you were just joking to comfort us, but it turns out it really happened!"

"Why would I lie to you if I'm bored?" Mo Yuan smiled and turned to look at Ye Guyi.

With a glance exchanged, Ye Guyi understood immediately. After nodding, she took a step forward, her smile vanishing completely, replaced by a calm and still expression. Her demeanor suddenly changed, giving off an aura of sacred inviolability.

A dazzling golden light shone on Ye Guyi's delicate body, and two pairs of holy angel wings spread out behind her. Even though it was daytime and the sun was shining brightly, it still could not obscure her radiance.

"This, this, this is the Holy Angel Martial Soul?!" Xuanzi exclaimed in disbelief.

Moreover, what Ye Guyi showed next completely shocked everyone present except for Mo Yuan.

A sacred and pure radiance transformed into feathers that drifted down from the sky, while the seven soul rings—yellow, purple, black, and red—rose one by one from beneath Ye Guyi's feet.

The people in front of him with the spirit rings didn't react much, but were amazed that Ye Guyi was already a spirit emperor at such a young age, and was simply a first-class genius.

But when the crimson spirit ring, symbolizing 100,000 years, appeared, everyone's thoughts changed instantly.

A seventh spirit ring at the 100,000-year level! What does that mean? Throughout the tens of thousands of years of history of Douluo Continent, only a handful of people have achieved this! Less than ten!
Even the lowest achievement among them is at least at the level of being poison-resistant!

Currently, the only person in the entire Shrek Academy who can compare to Ye Guyi is Mo Yuan.

Xuanzi and the other elders quickly came to their senses. It wasn't that they weren't surprised by Ye Guyi's talent, but rather that Mo Yuan's example had already raised their threshold for acceptance too high.

After all, no matter how talented someone is, can they be more powerful than Mo Yuan's 400,000-year fifth spirit ring, 200,000-year sixth spirit ring, and 800,000-year seventh spirit ring?
"The hatred from ten thousand years ago has been resolved by the passage of time. Just as Junior Brother Mo Yuan said, a person's martial spirit depends on their bloodline, not on themselves. The same goes for their identity. What path to take and how to take it are things that one can decide for oneself."

With a gentle and serene smile on her face, Zhang Lexuan extended her hand to Ye Guyi, "Guyi, welcome."

“That’s right, the events of ten thousand years ago have long since come to an end, drawn to a final conclusion,” Xuanzi chimed in, expressing his opinion.

Even disregarding Ye Guyi's monstrous attitude, no one would dare to contradict her at this time, simply out of respect for Mo Yuan.

"Thank you, Elder Xuan. Thank you, Senior Sister."

"You can handle the rest, Mo Yuan. We old folks will head back now. Feel free to come to us anytime if you have any questions."

After Xuanzi finished speaking, he led all the other elders away from the Sea God Lake, leaving only the inner court disciples who had a good relationship with Mo Yuan.

The departure of these elderly people did not enliven the atmosphere; instead, it brought an instant silence.

Initially, Yao Haoxuan and Gongyang Mo planned to catch up with Mo Yuan, but when they saw the four of them standing in a square formation, staring at each other in silence, Yao Haoxuan and Gongyang Mo immediately felt that catching up wasn't such a hassle.

The four women looked at each other silently, none of them speaking, as if it were a silent war. In such a tense atmosphere, even Mo Yuan felt a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, this is Douluo Continent, not Earth. Otherwise, I would probably have to change my name in a few days, like Ito Makoto… Mo Yuan thought for a moment and prepared to break the heavy atmosphere to avoid causing any trouble later.

However, just as Mo Yuan was about to speak, the four women, who had seemed ready to fight, suddenly burst into laughter. Their smiles were bright and their voices gentle, as if they were seeing their long-lost best friends.

"You must be Senior Sister Han. Yuan often tells me about you and her, saying you're a gentle and considerate senior sister. I thank you on Yuan's behalf for taking care of me all these years," Ye Guyi said with a smile, holding Han Ruoruo's hand. Anyone who didn't know better would think the two were best friends.

"Not at all, it's me who should thank you, Gu Yi. If it weren't for you, Junior Brother would have inevitably suffered even greater harm in the Star Dou Great Forest back then," Han Ruoruo said with a smile.

"..."

Watching the four women holding hands and chatting like best friends, Mo Yuan's eyes twitched slightly. Especially when he saw Han Ruoruo's burning yet playful gaze, he had a bad feeling and felt a slight pain in his lower back.

Mo Yuan lit a cigarette, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, looked up at the sky, and said wistfully, "Sigh, this is troublesome. I just hope Ning Tian hasn't returned to the academy yet, otherwise, if the five of them run into each other, tsk, I don't even want to think about that scene..."

The next moment, before Mo Yuan could finish speaking, a very familiar, melodious female voice, filled with joy and excitement, came from afar.

"Brother Mo!!"
