Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 240 Bai Yuan: The Future Elder of the Sea God Pavilion

On the other end of the communicator, Gula seemed to have anticipated Yun Ming's reaction and chuckled, "Is the Pavilion Master worried that Bai Yuan's martial soul is too special and not suitable to represent Shrek Academy?"

Yun Ming did not deny it, but simply said, "Although Shrek Academy is inclusive, it ultimately needs to conform to the public's perception."

Gula pondered for a moment, then said, "But I have made arrangements for the other three, and considering their personalities, Bai Yuan is the most suitable to stay."

"Where is that clone who controlled the flying knives?"

Yun Ming's eyes flickered slightly as the image of that aloof young man surfaced in his mind. His indifferent demeanor made him, at least, more suited to the stage than Bai Yuan.

But then another question popped into his head: "Is he alright?"

"Oh, it's not a big problem. Liu Niandao is born without some emotions. If a situation like Cai Yue'er's occurs, he will usually just cut her down with one stroke."

Gula said in a relaxed tone, "If the Pavilion Master is not worried about his ruthlessness in the academy, he can transfer to Shrek's inner academy at any time."

Yun Ming thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's choose another one."

Although Shrek Academy is called an academy, it is actually closely connected with many soul master families on the continent, which inevitably leads to some unsavory dealings.

At most, students would be expelled; injuries or deaths were extremely rare. But if injuries or deaths occurred, it would damage Shrek Academy's network and past relationships.

“Sure.” Gula didn’t care. His original plan was to have Liu Niandao deal with the Tang Clan.

"Mu Yi, you're going to the Body Sect to learn the Body Secret Techniques..."

"Shrek Academy possesses a secret technique related to the original body." The question seemed unclear, implying Shrek Academy had embezzled the technique. Yun Ming explained, "It's a copy left at the academy by Spirit Ice Douluo ten thousand years ago before his ascension."

Gula: "..."

You don't need to explain; the more you explain, the more guilty you seem.

"Does Shrek Academy also possess the new secret techniques created by the Body Sect over the past ten thousand years?"

If that were the case, Shrek Academy would be utterly shameless.

Yun Ming: "..."

Does it exist? Or... does it not?

"…No."

“Right?” Gula continued, regardless of whether Yun Ming was telling the truth or not. “Mu Yi majored in forging. Senior Mu Ye and Teacher Zhen Hua spent a lot of time together. She could cultivate and forge at the same time. Shrek Academy can’t provide that, can it?”

On the other end of the communicator, Gura sat on the sofa in the forge, with all four of his clones present. Today was the day they were to attempt to create battle armor.

What could Yun Ming say but agree?

Of Gula's five clones, the one he most wanted to keep was Mu Yi, who possessed both the original martial soul and the ultimate wood element. Unfortunately, Mu Yi was the only student that Shrek Academy could not teach.

There was also the eerie Yin Wansheng, whom Yun Ming didn't even mention, saying, "According to you, only Bai Yuan is suitable to stay."

After hesitating for a moment, Yun Ming decided it wasn't a big deal. Shrek Academy was qualified to support Bai Yuan; it was just a martial soul related to the Abyss, so Shrek would protect him!

-

Three days later, Shrek Academy, Inner Courtyard.

Bai Yuan stood outside the Sea God Pavilion, his black robes fluttering in the wind, his dark hair tied up. When he didn't release his martial spirit, he exuded an aura of a strong, unapproachable athlete. Yun Ming stood on the steps, calmly observing him. Bai Yuan, no longer arrogant, bowed slightly and said, "Pavilion Master."

"No need for formalities," Yun Ming said calmly. "From today onwards, you are an inner disciple of Shrek Academy and will enjoy the benefits of a core disciple."

Bai Yuan nodded, his expression respectful yet neither humble nor arrogant, but in his heart he was thinking that before going to the Blood God Legion, he could satisfy his appetite at Shrek Academy.

Yun Ming looked at him and suddenly asked, "Besides cultivation, did Gula send you to Shrek Academy? Is there any other arrangement?"

Bai Yuan smiled slightly, revealing sharp, white teeth like a shark: "Sect Master, you are overthinking it. I am just here to learn."

Yun Ming remained noncommittal, only giving him a deep look before turning around: "Come with me, I'll take you to see some of the elders."

……

Bai Yuan's formal entry into Shrek Academy caused a small ripple in the academy, but it all subsided under Yun Ming's suppression.

The identities of Baoluo Gula's many incarnations have all become secrets known only to a few people due to Yunming's suppression.

Several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the forging room, the intense metallic fumes filled the air.

Le Zhengyu held a piece of gleaming gold alloy in both hands, his eyes sparkling with excitement. The surface of the metal was covered with delicate patterns, undulating slightly as if it were alive, and emanating a rich fluctuation of soul power.

"Ninety-four degrees of fusion..." he murmured softly, his fingertips gently tracing the metal surface, feeling the spirituality contained within.

Such a level of forging is extremely rare, even within the Holy Angel Family.

He looked up at Gula in front of the forging table. Gula was focused on swinging the forging hammer, each strike precise and accurate. The metal was constantly transforming under the guidance of soul power, eventually presenting a perfect form.

"Your forging skills have improved again," Yue Zhengyu exclaimed. "At this rate, you'll probably be able to break through to the Saint Craftsman level soon, right?"

Gula didn't respond, focusing solely on completing the final quenching step. After the metal cooled, he looked up and said calmly, "Tang Wulin should be finishing the last few pieces of metal you need soon too."

After the previous conflict, Yue Zhengyu behaved himself for a few days, but the pride of the Angel Family made him only want to face the challenge head-on.

Ultimately, through Gura's deliberate arrangement, he was drawn to Gura's forging techniques.

His grandfather was the commander of the Southern Legion of the Federation, and what he had no shortage of was rare metal resources. Gula successfully acquired a large amount of rare metals.

Le Zhengyu smiled with satisfaction: "With the help of the two of you, my battle armor is progressing much faster than I expected."

He paused, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes: "However, metal alone is not enough; the creation of the battle armor also requires the cooperation of high-level mecha designers and repairmen..."

Gula glanced at him, a slight smile playing on her lips: "What, you still can't handle it?"

Le Zhengyu didn't hide anything and nodded frankly: "I know you know a lot of experts in secondary professions. If I can ask them to help me, I might be able to complete my two-word battle armor before the third year."

As the heir of the Holy Angel family, Yue Zhengyu has never lacked resources, but the family's requirement for him to undergo training at Shrek Academy is that he must complete the creation of the battle armor using his own abilities. And Gula happens to be the most suitable help he can find at the moment.

“Their fees aren’t cheap,” Gula said with a half-smile.

Le Zhengyu chuckled, flipped his fingers, and a soul guide card with gold trim appeared in his palm: "Money is not a problem. If all else fails, we can settle the payment with rare metals."
