Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 315 Zhang Geyang, the Ghost Eye Douluo

After returning to his room and resting briefly, Gula left the hotel alone. He had another important matter to attend to—transforming the Great White Shark into a spirit, otherwise his time-slowing ability in the Forest Sea Space wouldn't be invincible, and he wouldn't be able to stop the loss of soul power.

The Spirit Pagoda branch of the Star Luo Empire is located on the west side of Star Luo City. Its architectural style is consistent with the Spirit Pagoda of Douluo Continent. It soars into the clouds, and its body is filled with a faint glow of soul power, exuding an aura of majesty and mystery.

With the contact information given to her by her teacher Leng Yaozhu, Gula successfully met the tower master of the branch tower—the Netherflame Douluo, Zhang Geyang.

Zhang Geyang was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his early forties. He had a cold and stern face, sharp eyes like an eagle, and a powerful aura of soul power emanating from his body, giving off a sense of oppression from someone who had long held a high position.

He sat behind his large desk, looking at the composed, friendly green-haired boy before him, and nodded slightly: "You must be Gula, the new disciple of the Cold Tower Master?"

“Yes, Tower Master Zhang.” Gula answered calmly, showing Leng Yaozhu’s keepsake and a detailed explanation, “My master asked me to send my greetings to you, as well as information on the soul essence and soul beast body needed to create a Soul Spirit. The target is a Demon Soul Great White Shark with 50,000 years of cultivation.”

Zhang Geyang took the letter, glanced at it, confirmed it was correct, and casually put it aside, a nonchalant expression on his face: "A 50,000-year-old demonic soul great white shark? Hmm, I understand. Leave the materials, I'll instruct them to make it as soon as possible. A 10,000-year-old soul spirit is a bit troublesome, but it's not a difficult task for our Spirit Transmission Tower."

His tone was indifferent, as if he were talking about a trivial matter, and he did not take Gula, "Leng Yaozhu's disciple," too seriously.

After all, he was the tower master of the Star Luo Branch Tower and the core force of the ancient family in the Star Luo Empire, holding a highly respected position.

"In that case, thank you very much, Tower Master Zhang." Gula bowed slightly, leaving behind the special container containing the soul essence and massive body of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, and handing it over to Bo Xi, who was standing beside him, to handle the follow-up matters.

He didn't say much, and after completing the task, he simply took his leave.

Watching Gula's departing figure, Zhang Geyang tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his eyes flickering. Leng Yaozhu's disciple... traveled across the ocean to Star Luo... He pondered for a moment, then picked up the special communicator on the table and connected to a number far away on Douluo Continent.

"Brother Dongfeng," Zhang Geyang said with a hint of respect.

From the other end of the communicator came Qian Gu Dong Feng's deep and authoritative voice: "Ge Yang? What is it?"

"Leng Yaozhu's disciple, Gula, has come to Xingluo. He just commissioned me to create a 50,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark Soul Spirit," Zhang Geyang reported.

"Gula? He went to Xingluo?" Qian Gu Dongfeng's voice paused slightly, clearly somewhat surprised. "It should be an exchange activity with Shrek Academy."

He remained silent for a few seconds, seemingly weighing something.

The fact that two targeted actions failed to eliminate this potential threat, and instead allowed him to grow to this point and even go to Xingluo, made him feel uneasy.

Leng Yaozhu's protection of this disciple far exceeded his expectations, but now that they are separated by a vast ocean, he doesn't believe that Leng Yaozhu's reach can extend to the Star Luo Empire!

"Brother Dongfeng, is there anything I can do for you?" Zhang Geyang asked tentatively, his tone carrying a hint of request and a barely perceptible ruthlessness.

The voice of Qian Gu Dong Feng came again, deeper and more resonant, carrying an undeniable implication: "Ge Yang, some people are just trouble to be around. Since he's willingly delivered himself to our doorstep and distanced himself from protection... this is a rare opportunity. Be clean, leave no clues, and absolutely do not implicate us. Understand?"

He didn't mention the consequences of killing Gula. So what if he killed him? Even if Leng Yaozhu had doubts, would she dare to overturn the table with him?

A cold glint flashed in Zhang Geyang's eyes, and a cruel smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Understood. Don't worry, Brother Dongfeng, I know what to do. I will arrange everything properly."

After hanging up the call, Zhang Geyang leaned back in his chair, rubbing his chin with his fingers.

Taking direct action was too risky, especially since the other party was Leng Yaozhu's disciple. An incident in Xingluo City could easily cause a huge uproar. He needed a more discreet weapon. "The resistance...those rats operating in the shadows of the border and the capital..." Zhang Geyang sneered inwardly.

“Those desperate people who would do anything for soul slots and resources are perfect tools.”

"After some time, when everyone's vigilance has lowered and the competition has attracted enough attention... use a high-level soul spirit slot as bait to trade for an 'accidental' opportunity to make a move. No one will know..."

A deadly trap targeting Gula was quietly taking shape under Zhang Geyang's scheming. Unaware of this, Gula had already returned to the Xingluo Grand Hotel to continue his training and plans.

Time passed peacefully, and before we knew it, it was the third day.

Today, the Douluo Continent delegation received a notification that the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire will formally receive the delegation at the Imperial Palace this evening, followed by a grand court banquet.

The Star Luo Empire had issued a notice well in advance: all members of the delegation must dress in formal attire to show respect for the royal family and the empire.

Having learned from their previous experience on the ship, the young people of Shrek Academy dutifully prepared their formal attire in advance this time. No one dared to stand out and challenge the authority and dignity of the Star Luo Royal Family.

As dusk approached, the afterglow of the setting sun bathed Xingluo City in a golden-red hue. A fleet of sleek, luxurious black limousines, adorned with the Xingluo royal emblem, silently and imposingly arrived at the Xingluo Grand Hotel, forming a neat row.

On the Shrek Academy side, Cai Yue'er and Zhuo Shi, the two Super Douluo, were naturally the absolute VIPs in the delegation. They would ride in the lead vehicle to meet the Star Luo Emperor directly.

Meanwhile, the younger generation, including Gula, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, Yuan Enyehui, Le Zhengyu, Ye Xinglan, Xu Lizhi, and Wu Changkong, gathered with the federal officials in the delegation under the serious gaze of Wu Changkong.

Wu Changkong remained as aloof as ever. His well-tailored dark blue suit accentuated his tall and imposing figure. His silver hair was neatly tied back, and his sharp gaze swept over his students, ensuring that everyone was properly dressed and in high spirits.

He whispered a few words of advice, then led the team, which represented the future of Shrek Academy and even the younger generation of Douluo Continent, toward the limousine.

"Wow, this car is really impressive!" Xie Xie exclaimed softly, curiously looking at the luxurious interior in front of him. He was wearing a flashy bright purple suit today, which made him look exceptionally handsome.

"Quiet down, mind the occasion," Tang Wulin, dressed in a composed black suit, whispered a reminder.

He also felt a sense of novelty and anticipation, after all, it was his first time attending such a high-profile royal banquet.

Gula changed into a gold suit, which accentuated her noble air under the night sky. Her long green-gold hair was draped over her shoulders, adding a touch of languor. The formal attire added to her noble and aloof demeanor.

He calmly got into the car, his gaze sweeping past the newly lit cityscape of Xingluo City outside the window, as if all the noise around him had nothing to do with him.

Xu Xiaoyan linked arms with Yuan Enyehui. The two girls, dressed in exquisite gowns, whispered to each other, their faces showing excitement and a hint of nervousness.

Le Zhengyu tried his best to maintain an elegant, aristocratic demeanor, showcasing the dignity of the Angel family. Ye Xinglan, on the other hand, maintained her aloof and unapproachable air, while Xu Lizhi smiled憨厚ly, appearing somewhat reserved.

Wu Changkong sat in the passenger seat, his gaze calmly fixed on the vehicles leading the way and the ever-approaching, brightly lit Xingluo Palace, which resembled a crouching behemoth.

His fingers tapped unconsciously on his knees, as if he were calculating something, or perhaps sensing the safety of his surroundings.

As the team leader, he bears the heavy responsibility of protecting these children, especially in this seemingly prosperous but turbulent foreign capital. This time, he absolutely cannot allow any accidents to happen!
