Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

At the Soul Master Competition, Kong Deming suddenly received a message from Elder Chen, and his face instantly darkened...

Sure enough, someone dared to make a move on Yang Yue.

Shrek Team!
Kong Deming glared at the Shrek team's rest area with hostility.

Just as rumored, this group always tries to poach talent from various academies. Now they actually dare to mess with people from the Sun Moon Royal Academy within the Sun Moon Empire. They have some serious audacity!
If I had known this would happen, I should have just crippled those guys back then.

He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and walked straight toward the Sun and Moon Emperor at the very top.

He had to report today's events to the emperor and ask him to warn Zhao Xin of the Shrek team.

Inside the Dean's Office of the Sun and Moon Royal Academy...

Old Chen brought Sheng Yangyue and Ye Xishui here. Fortunately, he didn't study soul tools today, otherwise Shrek Academy's scheme would have succeeded and they would have taken away the academy's two treasures.

Now, Elder Chen regards Sheng Yangyue and Ye Xishui as treasures of the academy, and his plans have already begun to be implemented.

If the plan goes smoothly, Ye Xishui will be able to stay at the academy.

When Kong Deming is promoted to the position of Grand Master, he can retire gracefully, handing over the position of Dean to Yang Yue and the position of Vice Dean to Ye Xishui.

In this way, everything is perfect.

"Yangyue, Xishui, just ignore what that Shrek Academy teacher said today. Those guys love to make empty promises, especially those perks..."

When Old Chen first heard that the welfare was "to fully cultivate you" and that it required discussion with the higher-ups, he thought Shrek Academy was being incredibly absurd.

“That welfare system is treating people like idiots,” Sheng Yangyue chimed in.

"I agree." Ye Xishui couldn't help but agree at this moment. Now she was even wondering if she would become an idiot if she went to Shrek Academy.
Seeing their reactions, Old Chen nodded in satisfaction. He was truly worried that these two precious students from Shrek Academy would be lured away, but thankfully they weren't.

However, after thinking about it, to prevent this situation from happening again, he took out two things—the level nine defense system perception soul guide device that he had made a few days ago. This thing is disposable, so it is very simple to make.

He handed the items to the two of them, saying, "Keep these safe. If these two soul tools are destroyed, I will sense it and come to your rescue immediately."

Shrek Academy has done this once, and there will definitely be a second time. We must be on guard.

After receiving the soul tool from Elder Chen, the two thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Elder Chen."

"Alright, you can wait here for Kong Deming to return. If you're tired, you can sleep on the sofa. I still need to study the soul tool." After saying this, Old Chen pressed a mechanism, and a wall in the office opened like a door. He went in but did not close it.

When Sheng Yangyue saw Old Chen go in but not close the door, he was a little curious, but he didn't follow him in. He just sat on the sofa, closed his eyes and started to catch up on sleep—whether he was really sleeping or just pretending, only he himself knew.

Seeing this, Ye Xishui didn't disturb them. She stood up, walked to the bookshelf in the office where books were kept, and picked up a book on soul guidance to read.

Now, she has prepared all the materials, and all she needs is the knowledge and information to start crafting a melee soul tool that is even more powerful than Elder Chen's, and then she can give it to Yang Yue.

Mr. Chen: ...

After returning to the Sun and Moon Rest Area, Kong Deming told Xu Tianxin and the others to go back on their own, then hurriedly headed towards the academy. He was genuinely furious—he had just informed the Sun and Moon Emperor of Shrek Academy's actions, only to be told that it was "harmless."

"What the hell?! You call this harmless?!" Kong Deming roared inwardly. "They've practically dug up the wall right in front of us, and you're telling me it's harmless? What's wrong with your brain, Emperor...?"

He almost cursed at the time, but in the end he couldn't contain his anger and stormed back to the Sun and Moon rest area, telling the other Sun and Moon team members to make their own arrangements... go back to the hotel if they wanted, or go home if they wanted.

As for returning to the academy, it's not allowed according to regulations unless accompanied by a teacher. This is because during previous Soul Master Competitions, some individuals impersonated members of the Sun Moon Team to infiltrate the academy and steal soul tools.

Fortunately, Elder Chen caught them on the spot and dealt with them according to the law. After that, Elder Chen set a rule: during the preliminary rounds of the Soul Master Competition, members of the Sun and Moon Team were not allowed to return to the academy alone and had to be accompanied by a teacher.

Upon returning to the academy, Kong Deming immediately went to the dean's office. Seeing that Sheng Yangyue and Ye Xishui were alright, he breathed a sigh of relief.

His biggest worry was that Yang Yue would be left with a disability. Seeing that Yang Yue was resting, he did not go up to disturb her. Instead, he walked to Ye Xishui, who was reading a book, and said softly, "If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

At this moment, Ye Xishui was pondering how to forge a close-combat soul tool that surpassed Elder Chen's. Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but look up at Kong Deming, her eyes filled with surprise...

This guy is actually willing to teach me? It's like the sun has risen in the west!

However, she didn't want to miss this opportunity, so she immediately started asking questions.

This near-level nine Soul Master's insights might offer her a lot of inspiration.

Future Old Chen: Damn it, you were an accomplice!
Inside the hotel prepared by the Sun Moon Empire for Shrek Academy...

When Zhao Xin returned to the hotel, he found Mu En waiting in front of his room.

He opened the door and said, "Let's go inside and talk."

Moon entered in response and closed the door behind him.

"Senior brother, where did you go just now?" Mu En asked curiously, really wanting to know where his senior brother had gone.

“I went to investigate some things,” Zhao Xin said, tossing Sheng Yangyue’s information to Mu En. “This captain of the Sun and Moon team is no ordinary person.”

Mu En took the information and examined it carefully. After a moment, he nodded and said, "It's actually a space-type dragon martial soul, but my Holy Light Dragon is the strongest dragon martial soul!"

Seeing his junior brother's confident demeanor, Zhao Xin nodded and said, "I believe in you, junior brother."

Afterwards, Zhao Xin told his junior brother about his efforts to win over Sheng Yangyue.

Moon looked surprised upon hearing this and asked, "He actually refused?"

"Yes, he refused, which was somewhat unexpected."

"He really is blind. With such talent, he didn't come to Shrek Academy, but instead wasted his time at Sun Moon Royal Academy. Does such a person deserve to be my opponent?" Moon's eyes were full of disdain for Saint Sun Moon.

"Senior brother, you must have other plans behind what you're saying, right?"

Mu Encai didn't believe that his senior brother had just mentioned these things casually.

"As expected of my junior brother, he understands me best." Zhao Xin nodded in satisfaction. "If we encounter the Sun and Moon team in the next match, I hope you'll show your true skills and let that guy understand what the real gap is!"

“I understand, senior brother!” Mu En put away the documents and nodded emphatically.

So why didn't Zhao Xin get angry when he heard Sheng Yangyue's rejection?

He knew in his heart that once his junior brother completely crushed that guy's arrogance, the guy would naturally beg him to let him join Shrek Academy!
