Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 181 Shrek's Decision
In the Mingdu Center, Ye Xinglan, Le Zhengyu, and their group entered a hotel and made their way to a room on the third floor.

"Teacher, we've arrived."

"come in."

As the group entered the room, they were surprised to see three people.

Besides their teacher, Luo Meng, there were two other people.

One of them was a handsome man in his twenties, wearing the inner uniform of Shrek Academy.

The other person was a woman of average appearance, also in her early twenties, with a smile on her lips, and very approachable.

The two were standing very close together, clearly indicating they were a couple.

Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi looked at the two of them with some surprise.

They knew these two people because they came from the inner courtyard.

Lan Muzi, the senior disciple of the inner court, a three-word battle armor master!
Tang Yinmeng, the senior sister of the inner courtyard, a three-word battle armor master!
To become a three-word battle armor master in one's twenties speaks volumes about their strength.

Among them, Lan Muzi holds a superior position in the inner courtyard and is showing signs of becoming the next successor to the Sea God Pavilion Master. Even the elders of the Sea God Pavilion speak highly of him.

Xu Lizhi asked curiously, "Senior Brother, Senior Sister, why are you here?"

Tang Yinmeng smiled and said, "This is not Shrek City. Your opponent is the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, which has a long-standing feud with the academy. The academy is worried that you will be in trouble while playing away from home, so they sent us to support you."

"Besides that reason, there's also the issue of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. We'll be taking some people there from here... Do you want to go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?"

The reason for entering the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well this time is because of the agreement made with the Spirit Pagoda two years ago. However, since the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is going to be opened, the academy also plans to send a suitable candidate into it.

That includes the two of them.

The seven students all gasped in surprise, and even Romon, Shrek's teacher, seemed somewhat astonished.

Eyes of ice and fire?
Is it possible that these children will go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye?
That's the sacred ground of Shrek Academy, a crucial opportunity for the original Seven Devils to become gods. Even first-year students like them have the chance to go in.

Ye Xinglan took a deep breath and frowned, saying, "Senior sister, we're only first-year students, is this... possible?"

The opportunity that Yu Longheng had longed for for so long was now right in front of her, making Ye Xinglan feel somewhat unreal.

"This is the academy's decision. Your class is already the most outstanding in recent years. Among those who will enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in the future, some of you are the most likely. Moreover, even if you do enter, with your current cultivation level, it will be quite difficult to gain the recognition of those immortal herbs, so you don't need to feel any pressure."

With a faint smile on her face, Tang Yinmeng gently interrupted Ye Xinglan, her gaze sweeping over her juniors, lingering for a moment on four of them.

Le Zhengyu, Martial Soul: Holy Angel.

Long Chen, Martial Soul: Holy Dragon of Light.

(Note: In the original novel, Long Chen was a student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, but his situation was special. His original goal was Shrek Academy, but he was poached by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy at great expense... In this book, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy had no reason to do such a thing.)
Ye Xinglan, Martial Soul: Star God Sword.

Xu Lizhi, Martial Soul: Steamed Bun.

The Soul-Shattering Night, the Martial Soul Heavenly Sound Flute.

He Xiaopeng, Martial Soul: Eight-sided Plum Blossom Bright Silver Hammer.

White Cherry Blossom, Martial Soul Cherry Blossom.

These seven are the contestants representing Shrek Academy this time, and four of them have a chance to directly enter the Inner Academy. Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi's situations are self-evident; the focus is on Le Zhengyu and Long Chen. One is a Holy Angel, the other a Holy Dragon of Light—their martial souls alone reveal their potential to become four-word Battle Armor Masters.

If they can be fully integrated into Shrek Academy through the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, that would be a good thing. Tang Yinmeng and Lan Muzi exchanged a glance. Lan Muzi stepped forward and said gently but firmly:

"The feud between Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and our academy has a long history. This exchange competition is not only a contest of strength, but also a battle for the honor of the two academies."

He looked around at everyone, his gaze lingering on each student's face for a moment, and continued:
"The three who perform best among the seven of you in the duel three days from now will be qualified to enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well with us. I hope you will make the most of this opportunity."

Lan Muzi's words were like a spark falling into dry tinder, instantly igniting the fighting spirit of the seven young soul masters.

The air in the room seemed to become scorching hot from their rapid breathing.

A burning light ignited in Yue Zhengyu's golden eyes, and he subconsciously clenched his fist. "The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire?"

He murmured to himself, the magical land recorded in his family's ancient books appearing in his mind—a legendary fairyland that could transform people and was the key to the sea god's ascension to godhood.

Standing beside him, Long Chen was equally excited. He turned to look at Le Zhengyu, and their eyes met. They both saw a fighting spirit eager to try in each other's eyes.

"We will definitely win."

Long Chen said softly, his voice low but full of determination.

"Of course." Yue Zhengyu smiled confidently.

……

Inside the room, morning light filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a soft warmth over the tranquil space.

Huo Yuhao stood in front of the dressing table, his slender fingers gently running through Xue Di's silver hair, which was as white as a cascading river of stars, combing through the strands.

"Xue'er, how are you?"

The woman in the mirror slightly raised her eyes, a ripple appearing in her icy blue pupils, and said softly, "Yes, it's fine."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and continued to gently comb his hair. "Speaking of which, you also helped me with my hair when we were in the far north."

Xue Di glanced at him sideways, "Who told you to live such an unkempt life back then?"

“Besides you, Elder Yi, Brother Tianmeng, and Bingdi, who are in human form, everyone else in sight is a soul beast, so naturally they don’t pay much attention to me, and there’s no ‘anyone’ looking at me.”

Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head, taking a step back. "Alright."

Sunlight streamed through the curtains, casting dappled patterns of light on Xue Di's silver hair, like the shimmering light reflected from the eternally frozen snow of the Arctic. She tilted her head slightly, her hair swaying gently with the movement, shimmering with a dreamlike glow in the sunlight.

Looking at herself in the glasses, Xue Di smiled and stood up, her skirt flowing like water.

"You're going to the Spirit Pagoda today, right? Don't keep Na'er waiting. I'll wait for you at home."

As soon as Huo Yuhao stepped out of the room, he saw Gu Yuena leaning against a pillar in the corridor, her long, silver-purple hair gleaming softly in the morning light. Her hands were behind her back, and her toes were lightly touching the ground.

Huo Yuhao naturally extended his hand, "Let's go, Xiao Yan and the others should have arrived at the Spirit Pagoda by now."

"Ah."

Gu Yuena placed her slender fingers into his palm, glanced back at Xue Di's room, and was curious about what the two of them were doing in the room so early in the morning, but didn't know how to ask.

However, Huo Yuhao noticed this and said softly, "I'm combing Xue'er's hair... I'll comb yours later."

Gu Yuena's eyes brightened slightly, and she nodded.
