Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Sheng Yangyue ignored Ye Xishui and walked straight ahead, leaving Ye Xishui standing there in thought, as if her words had made her fall into self-examination.

She never considered herself an evil spirit master, nor did she ever do anything as outrageous as that demon, and she was simply incapable of doing so.

But now, she seems to be heading towards the very thing she hates most.

Sometimes she hated herself intensely: Why did she awaken the Demon Puppet Martial Soul? Why did she have to be caught by Old Ghost Zhongli when she awakened her innate full soul power?

From the day her martial spirit awakened, her luck seemed to have run out, reaching its lowest point.

Now, even the secret of the second martial soul has been revealed to the young man in front.

She wasn't without thoughts of killing.

Even if Kong Deming comes looking for trouble afterward, Zhongli Laogui will definitely protect him from behind.

But in the end, he didn't do it.

She was afraid, afraid that the title "evil spirit master" would truly be confirmed, afraid that she would go down this path to the end and have no chance of turning back.

"Perhaps I should stick to my initial choice. And that guy in front of me might be the way out of this predicament, the only one who can pull me out of this abyss."

As Ye Xishui watched Sheng Yangyue's departing figure, her heart began to waver: Should she truly cooperate with this person who had threatened her...?

Inside the office, Kong Deming, who was sitting at his desk reviewing documents, looked up and saw Ye Xishui and Sheng Yangyue walk in together. A hint of surprise flashed across his face, but he didn't ask any questions.

Perhaps it was just a coincidence. Besides, he couldn't be too harsh on Ye Xishui, after all, she was an important member of the next Imperial Tournament.

"Are you all full?" Kong Deming asked.

Sheng Yangyue and Ye Xishui nodded in unison.

“Okay, follow me.” Kong Deming nodded in response, put down his pen, and led the two out of the office toward the academy arena.

Today, he plans to take these two to meet the students participating in this year's academy competition, and also to see which two will be replaced by them.

At this moment, inside the exclusive arena of the Sun and Moon Royal Academy's Sun and Moon Team, stood seven students and Elder Chen.

Looking at the seven students in front of him, Old Chen was actually quite satisfied with this class. It was a pity that two monstrous geniuses had emerged from this class, whose talents were comparable to those of the top students at Shrek Academy.

"Children, do you know why I called you all together today?" Old Chen intended to give these children a strong pep talk, to make them understand that there are always people more capable than you, and that there is always something beyond your understanding.

"Old Chen, if you have something to say, stop keeping me in suspense," a young man stepped forward and asked.

This person is named Xu Tianyu, whose martial soul is the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon. He is 19 years old and already a level 65 Soul Emperor.

He is the only Soul Emperor in the team, serving not only as captain but also as the core leader of the team next year; in addition, as a member of the Sun and Moon Royal Family, he naturally has the confidence to ask such a question.

When Xu Tianyu asked him, Old Chen just glanced at him and then said with a smile, "Tianyu, you're almost twenty, aren't you?"

"Yes, next year will be my last time participating in the Soul Master Competition." Xu Tianyu nodded, his eyes filled with longing for the championship.

Old Chen noticed the longing in Xu Tianyu's eyes, nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "Unfortunately, I'm afraid you won't be able to continue as captain this year, and we'll have to cut two members from the team."

"what?"

"why?"

"Old Chen, what do you mean by that?" The other six people all looked puzzled, confused, and panicked upon hearing this.

No one wants to be replaced. The spots in the Soul Master team are either earned through the hard work of their families or through their own efforts. Why should they be replaced so easily?
Xu Tianyu, the team leader, did not show any panic, but instead asked with curiosity, "Old Chen, what exactly do you mean by that?"

"Two geniuses have arrived at the academy, one fifteen years old and the other sixteen, both of whom are Soul Emperors. What do you think? Should I replace two of you? And your captain position also needs to be reconsidered."

Old Chen said with a smile, deliberately giving these kids a heads-up.

Otherwise, if they actually meet later, they might be so discouraged that they develop inner demons, which wouldn't be good.

He wouldn't be like Shrek Academy, replacing people without saying anything or revealing even the slightest bit of information.

"Fifteen or sixteen years old and already at the Soul Emperor level? And there are two of them? How is that possible?" Someone immediately questioned, "Could it be that they've taken more drugs than we have?"

"That's right, Elder Chen! This kind of soul power built up with drugs must be very weak!"

"Mr. Chen, you really need to think this over carefully!"

The team members present echoed and expressed their doubts.

A Soul Emperor who is fifteen or sixteen years old is simply impossible to exist in the Sun Moon Empire. Even if there were, they would be from the neighboring Shrek Academy.

To have this level of cultivation at this age is definitely the result of brute force through taking drugs!
"Tianyu, what do you think?"

Ignoring the other questions, Old Chen turned to Xu Tianyu and asked.

This member of the royal family is an extremely rational person who never acts impulsively.

“Old Chen, if they didn’t rely on drugs and got their positions through hard work, what’s wrong with me giving them my position? But if they are like us, then my teammates and I will have to compete for it.”

Xu Tianyu possesses the Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul, and naturally harbors pride.

What are two mere Soul Emperors compared to them? If they got there by taking drugs, he wouldn't need to avoid their sharp edge at all.

The team members behind him also showed serious expressions, clearly having reached a consensus with Xu Tianyu.

Seeing the children's performance, Old Chen nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at the arena entrance: "You all heard it, let me see who will be the final winner."

At this moment, Kong Deming led Sheng Yangyue and Ye Xishui in.

All eyes were drawn to the two people behind Kong Deming. They only glanced at them but couldn't discern their strength, and their soul power was unusually stable.

These two guys really weren't on drugs?!
The seven of them were all thinking at that moment: "Is it really normal for something like this to happen in the Sun Moon Empire?"

The moment Xu Tianyu saw Sheng Yangyue, for some reason, a sense of fear inexplicably arose in his heart.

He stared intently at Sheng Yangyue, secretly pondering: 'Could this young man's martial soul be a dragon-type martial soul?'

But if it's a dragon-type martial soul, how could it make his Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon feel fear?

The Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon is recorded in the family as an extremely powerful dragon-type martial soul, which even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon cannot compare to!
Xu Tianyu was filled with doubts, yet also with an indescribable excitement, seemingly because he had encountered an opponent with a dragon-type martial soul.
