Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 198 Cai Yue'er

After walking through the dark corridor with its hanging, gleaming guillotines, Tang Wulin and the others entered the circular examination hall.

In front of the rectangular Star Profound Iron table, Silver Moon Douluo Cai Yue'er's withered fingers were tapping the surface. To her left, an old man in red was resting with his eyes closed, while to her right, a middle-aged man in a black robe with gold patterns was recording something using a soul tool.

"Fourth level: Special skills showcase"

Cai Yue'er's cloudy eyes swept over the crowd, her mean appearance was repulsive. "Each of you has three minutes to fully demonstrate your strengths."

"Martial spirit, soul skill, mental power, combat skills... anything is fine."

"I'll go first."

Xie Xie took the first half-step forward, and two dragon-patterned short daggers leaped from his palms. Gula could feel that Xie Xie's breathing rate was half a beat faster than usual—although the kid didn't say it, he was still a little nervous about Shrek Academy's assessment.

The Light Dragon Dagger is as bright as gold, while the Shadow Dragon Dagger is as dark as darkness that devours light.

As he flipped his wrist, ripples of light and darkness intertwined in the air, creating a dazzling trajectory. "Twin martial souls, but they can only share one set of soul rings. However, they can use two martial souls at the same time, causing attacks with opposite attributes."

Influenced by Gula, Xie Xie did not rigidly demonstrate his soul skills, but instead explained his strengths and weaknesses while demonstrating them.

Cai Yue'er's face, as thin as withered tree bark, twitched. Without consulting the others, she commented: "A peculiar dual light and dark weapon spirit, lacking control, with sluggish elemental control, and combat skills that are superficial and full of routines. Eight points."

Xie Xie was dissatisfied, but dared not show it, and retreated in a huff.

Xu Xiaoyan bit her lip and stepped forward, ice crystals appearing at the tip of the Star Wheel Ice Staff.

"The Star Wheel Ice Staff, a martial soul, exhibits absolute and unparalleled control at night."

“Absolute control…” Cai Yue’er’s pupils contracted slightly, but she snorted coldly, “Only when the power of the stars and moon is enhanced at night? Useless, seven points.”

Xu Xiaoyan turned around and secretly stuck out her tongue before obediently standing next to Gu Yue.

Tang Wulin took a deep breath and stepped forward, releasing the Blue Silver Grass vines with golden patterns, which had been transformed under the influence of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline.

"Mutated Blue Silver Grass? That's not enough to make Zhuoshi accept you as a disciple. Don't hold back, show your true skills and attack me."

Cai Yue'er's words startled the other two examiners, who stared intently at Tang Wulin, trying to see what was so special about him.

Tang Wulin swung his right arm, and a dragon's roar echoed in the room. The golden dragon claw, carrying a golden sharp light, tore through the air.

Cai Yue'er didn't care at first, but who knew that the Golden Dragon Claw's shattering effect was extremely high. It tore open the spider web cracks on the soul power barrier that was equivalent to the defense of a Soul King!

"boom!"

Fragments of the barrier flew everywhere, and Cai Yue'er instinctively retaliated by flicking her sleeve. Tang Wulin crashed into the wall like a kite with a broken string, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, yet he tightly gripped his right hand, which was gleaming with golden scales.

Cai Yue'er frowned as she looked at the torn sleeve. "A dragon bloodline with extremely strong attack power, very strong."

"team leader!"

The crowd rushed forward to check on him. Fortunately, Tang Wulin was tough and resilient; although he appeared to have coughed up blood, it was not even a minor injury.

Even so, everyone was very angry, and their eyes were filled with dissatisfaction as they looked at Cai Yue'er.

Cai Yue'er knew she had made a mistake, but it was absolutely impossible for her to admit it or even apologize. Her current identity represented Shrek Academy, so how could she possibly make a mistake!

"You won't die, continue the assessment."

Tang Wulin waved his hand to indicate that he was fine and went back to continue participating in the assessment.

Gu Yue moved with light, graceful steps, causing the elements in the assessment hall to surge. Crimson flames condensed into a firebird that flapped its wings on her left shoulder, a blue wind tornado coiled around the fingertips of her right hand, ice blossomed into snow lotuses beneath her feet, and rock spikes coalesced in front of her.

"Elementalist of Martial Souls"

The four elements resonated harmoniously like a symphony, coalescing into a chaotic sphere of light in her palm. "Four Elements Manipulation, Heart of the Elements!"

The red-robed old man, who had kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, and Cai Yue'er stood up abruptly, her dry hair moving without wind: "Gu Yue, enter the inner courtyard, become my disciple, and you will be exempt from all examinations!"

Gu Yue released the control of the four elements and said indifferently, "No need, I'll just go to the outer courtyard."

Cai Yue'er frowned at first, then her brows relaxed: "It's alright, then you can become my disciple and continue your studies in the outer academy."

She already has a teacher.

Gula took a half-step to block Gu Yue, his dark gold vertical pupils flashing with a dangerous light.

He used to dislike Cai Yue'er when he read the original novel. She was so old, yet she acted like a little girl, being willful and doing things according to her mood.

Like Zhou Yi, she was only protected by Shrek Academy, otherwise she would have been killed long ago.

"I'm asking Gu Yue!"

Cai Yue'er's level 96 pressure swept over like a tsunami, causing Gu Yue's hair to dance wildly, yet her body remained completely still amidst the storm of soul power.

"I don't want to."

Cai Yue'er seemed not to hear her and said nonchalantly, "With your talent, entering the inner courtyard would save you a lot of time, allowing you to quickly create the two-word battle armor. You're unwilling?"

Gu Yue simply stopped answering.

She looked down on Cai Yue'er's status and she was of no help to her in reviving the soul beast clan. As for her strength, it was not even as good as the weakest ferocious beast under her command.

Seeing Gu Yue remain silent, Cai Yue'er's illusory moon-shaped figure appeared behind her: "Do you know what you're refusing? Shrek Academy's inner court disciples, Silver Moon Douluo's personal tutors—"

"Is the examiner a demigod?"

Groudon chuckled, and instantly possessed Groudon.

The Termination Land's unique properties created a clear sky, and the fiery sphere of light possessed an inherent suppressive power, actually pushing back the Super Douluo's aura: "Or... are you planning to forcibly seize the personal disciple of the Spirit Pagoda's deputy tower master?"

The entire examination hall suddenly fell into dead silence.

"Are you Leng Yaozhu's disciples?" one of the examiners exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing the familiar name, Cai Yue'er roared, "Disrespectful to elders!" The moon wheel suddenly contracted into a pale, curved blade, and her voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth: "Are you threatening Shrek Academy?"

“State the facts. Or think what you want.” A pale flame ignited at Gula’s fingertips, and he controlled the flame to change its color with great interest. The high temperature, which distorted the air, made the two male examiners turn pale at the same time.

Cai Yue'er was furious, but instead put away her arrogance: "Fine, fine, the fourth and fifth rounds, you all got zero points. I want to see how you pass the test."

At this point, right and wrong are no longer important. Someone actually dared to contradict her to her face. Her dignity and Shrek's honor cannot be desecrated!

"you sure?"

Gula tilted his head to look at the other two, extinguished the flames on his fingertips, fiddled with his nails, and said seemingly unintentionally, "Then I can only tell the teacher that a certain old hag is targeting her, and from now on, the price of purchasing soul spirits for all the students under her supervision will be doubled."

He looked up and said, "Don't bring Shrek Academy into this again, or I'll get scared."

With a fearful expression, Gula chuckled. He didn't even need to lift a finger to deal with Cai Yue'er.

Raising prices for everyone at Shrek Academy would exacerbate the conflict between the two major powers, but if it's just for Cai Yue'er, they'll eventually have to back down together.

In the end, it won't be Gula who will lose face and be branded as a bully.
