Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

The battlefield, which was just moments ago filled with tension, fell into a deathly silence in less than a minute.

Xiao Hongchen, who was initially full of fighting spirit and confidence, now had an incredulous shock in his eyes.

He never expected that as soon as he summoned his martial soul and soul tool, a knife was already at his neck.

"When?" Xiao Hongchen's gaze involuntarily turned to his side, looking at Sheng Yangyue, who had a knife to his neck.

Is this speed really something a speed-type Soul Master can possess?

He didn't even notice any fluctuations in soul power...

At this moment, Kong Deming also narrowed his eyes.

He had been staring intently at Sheng Yangyue just now, and the other party's speed was so unreasonable that she almost escaped his sight.

If that's the case, there's only one possibility: Sheng Yangyue's martial soul possesses the rarest "spatial attribute"!
Thinking of this, Kong Deming took a deep breath to calm his excitement.

Unexpectedly, just by taking students out to hunt for fourth spirit rings, they actually found a great treasure in the academy.

"You lost, Xiao Hongchen."

After calming down, Kong Deming spoke to Xiao Hongchen, who was still in disbelief.

"I..." Xiao Hongchen wanted to make an excuse, but when he thought of the scene where his head would slip off his body if he moved, he nodded silently, "I lost."

“Xiao Hongchen, this is what I mean by there are always people more capable than you, and there’s always something beyond your understanding. Your arrogance and blind self-confidence are just because you’re living in your own comfort zone, understand?”

Kong Deming looked at Xiao Hongchen, who had a dejected expression, and began to lecture him.

The Sun Moon Empire has many geniuses, no less than the original Three Kingdoms, but very few of them were able to become Title Douluo or Level 9 Soul Masters in the later stages.

Because too many people are eager to achieve quick success and rely on drugs to improve their strength, Kong Deming himself was no exception.

In order to break through to the Title Douluo level as quickly as possible, he abandoned the cultivation of his second martial soul and allowed the drugs to drain all the limits of his body.

"I understand, teacher."

At this moment, Xiao Hongchen truly had no temper, and the slight dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared. Perhaps this is the difference between a monster and a genius.

Will the so-called Monster Academy be like Sheng Yangyue in the next Soul Master Competition?
Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but become curious.

When Sheng Yangyue Jianxiao Hongchen conceded defeat, he silently put down his scimitar and suggested, "Your reaction speed is too slow. It would be a pity if you lost to a worthy opponent because you were too slow in summoning things."

After saying that, Sheng Yangyue stood up, sheathed her scimitar, looked at Kong Deming who seemed to want to ask a question but didn't know how to start, and said, "Teacher, you can ask whatever you want to ask. I will answer what I can."

"Your martial soul possesses spatial and dark attributes, right?" Kong Deming asked, his eyes filled with curiosity and thirst for knowledge as he looked at Sheng Yangyue.

Sheng Yangyue simply nodded and didn't say anything more.

"Hahahaha... We've really struck gold!" Kong Deming burst into laughter. "Let's go back to the academy."

Xiao Hongchen followed behind the two, recalling Sheng Yangyue's words. He realized he was indeed a beat slow when summoning his soul tool, a flaw he needed to correct.

Thinking it over, Xiao Hongchen looked at Sheng Yangyue beside him and said, "Thank you for your guidance!"

"Hmm?" Sheng Yangyue was somewhat surprised that Xiao Hongchen would thank him. He waved his hand, "It's nothing serious. No matter how much you change, you're still no match for me." "???" Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen's eyes widened as he stared at Sheng Yangyue, unable to resist retorting, "You'd better not be so confident! Otherwise, you'll regret it when you stumble!"

"Tumble? That's impossible!" Sheng Yangyue's heterochromatic eyes shone with the unique confidence of a strong person as she declared loudly, "Because... I am the strongest!"

His talent, Sheng Yangyue, is arguably the best among all the clones, even surpassing that guy Jin Tianming.

With the script now in his hands, if he's not the strongest, then who is?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen met that confident gaze and, for some reason, couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal—the other person was indeed very strong!
Kong Deming listened silently to the conversation between the two people behind him, and couldn't help but think to himself, "It's good to be young. If I were the same age as Sheng Yangyue, I probably wouldn't even be qualified to be his opponent."

A few days later, in Mingdu, the capital of the Sun and Moon Empire...

Kong Deming led the two back to Mingdu. As soon as they arrived, several pairs of eyes fell on the three of them.

Kong Deming's current status is quite sensitive.

He is not only the youngest near-ninth-level Soul Master in the Sun Moon Empire, but also possesses royal blood.

If they were to inherit positions in Mingde Hall or the Royal Academy in the future, it would be something many clans would not want to see.

"I didn't expect so many people to 'welcome' me as soon as I came back."

Kong Deming's mental power naturally and keenly caught those people's gazes, but he didn't care at all and led Sheng Yangyue and Xiao Hongchen into the Sun Moon Royal Academy.

At this moment, the dean of the Sun and Moon Royal Academy had been waiting here for a long time.

The current dean is an elderly man surnamed Chen, a level nine soul master who is quite witty. It is said that he made great contributions to the rise of the new dynasty in his early years, which is why he has been able to sit in the position of dean for 150 years.

"Old Chen." Kong Deming greeted the old man respectfully as soon as he saw him.

He had been the old man's student and naturally held him in high esteem.

"Deming, you're finally back!" Old Chen chuckled, stroking his beard as he looked at Sheng Yangyue behind Kong Deming. "Is this the child you sent back a few days ago?"

“That’s right, Mr. Chen.”

“Alright, I’ll take care of these two little ones,” Old Chen said. “His Majesty the Emperor is looking for you; you should go and see him.”

Upon hearing this, Kong Deming frowned slightly. Why did the emperor's nephew want to see him?
Despite his doubts, Kong Deming nodded and turned to Sheng Yangyue, saying, "Yangyue, he is the dean, one of the most influential people in the empire. Just ask him for whatever you want, and he will not be stingy."

“Okay.” Sheng Yangyue nodded, her gaze falling on Old Chen, who was smiling at her.

After giving his instructions, Kong Deming immediately used his flying soul tool to leave, flying towards the palace, leaving only two young men and an old man there looking at each other.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become awkward, Xiao Hongchen quickly said, "Good afternoon, Elder Chen."

"Alright~" Old Chen nodded with a smile, then said to Xiao Hongchen, "Xiao, you just obtained your fourth soul ring and still need to consolidate it, so go back to your dormitory first."

“Ah…oh~” Xiao Hongchen naturally understood that Elder Chen wanted to speak to Sheng Yangyue alone, so he could only nod. Then he glanced at Sheng Yangyue, his eyes seeming to say, “Brother, Elder Chen is a good person, don’t be too nervous.”

Sheng Yangyue naturally saw it, nodded to him, and then met Chen Lao's old yet sharp eyes.
