Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Late at night, the moon was slowly obscured by clouds.

Inside the Sun and Moon Hotel, Ye Xishui was studying a soul tool in her room when she suddenly sensed something. She put down her research, got up, and left.

In another room, Sheng Yangyue, who was cultivating, also sensed something, but did nothing. She simply closed her eyes again and continued cultivating.

The Yang energy and the lunar energy within him have begun to merge.

The true power of the Time-Space Ancient Dragon lies not in the power of Yang or the power of Moon, nor simply in the power of space, but in the combination of these three powers. However, this requires first breaking through to the Soul Saint realm and possessing a Martial Soul True Body before the three powers can truly be integrated.

Otherwise, these three forces would simply exist independently, and although he could use one of them at any time, he would be unable to unleash their true power.

"I think I'll be under scrutiny once this Soul Master Competition is over," Sheng Yangyue thought to herself.

Under the cover of night, the church appeared particularly eerie, and ordinary people dared not approach it.

Ye Xishui arrived here, looked at the church in front of her, and walked straight in without stopping.

There were no lights inside the church. The moon had just broken free from the clouds, and its light poured in, illuminating the very center of the church, making the place seem even more desolate.

A person stood in that patch of light and shadow, with their back to Ye Xishui, quietly gazing at the moonlight streaming in through the window.

"Teacher." Ye Xishui walked in, then knelt on one knee and called out respectfully without getting any closer.

This person is none other than Zhongli the Old Ghost.

Although Ye Xishui didn't understand why he had summoned her at this moment, she knew that now was not the time to resist, so she had no choice but to come.

Zhongli, who was gazing at the moon, heard the voice behind him and asked in a hoarse voice, "How was the opening ceremony of the Soul Master Competition today?"

When asked, Ye Xishui answered truthfully, but did not mention that Long Xiaoyao possessed the Dark Sacred Dragon Martial Soul—it was not the right time yet.

After listening, Zhongli Laogui slowly turned around, his bright red eyes under the mask staring intently at Ye Xishui, as if confirming whether his disciple was lying.

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and slowly said, "In this Soul Master Competition, I hope you will observe carefully. If you find any promising talents, recruit them into our Holy Spirit Cult, understand?"

“I understand, teacher,” Ye Xishui replied calmly.

"Good that you understand." Old Ghost Zhongli waved his hand, indicating that she could leave.

Upon seeing this, Ye Xishui immediately stood up, turned around, and left without hesitation, as if this were some kind of place of trouble.

Watching her departing figure, Zhongli Laogui naturally saw that Ye Xishui had developed other ideas, but he did not stop her.

As a Limit Douluo, he no longer cared about any schemes or tricks. Now, he only needed to consolidate the soul power within his body that did not belong to him. Even Wang Xinshi, another Limit Douluo, would be no match for him!

Moreover, he was also considering whether to ambush the Shrek Academy team on their way back after the Soul Master Competition ended.

His feud with Zhongli Laogui and Shrek Academy can be described as irreconcilable.

Ye Xishui breathed a sigh of relief as she walked out of the church, and then quickly left.

If she could, she would rather never see that old guy again. Why couldn't he just have a problem and die while in seclusion?

When she returned to the hotel, she saw Sheng Yangyue standing in the corridor waiting for her.

Ye Xishui was somewhat surprised and asked, "Yang Yue, you're still awake?"

"I thought my business partner wasn't coming back," Sheng Yangyue said jokingly, leaning against the wall.

After finishing her cultivation, Sheng Yangyue noticed that Ye Xishui hadn't returned yet, so she went out to wait for her.

If he couldn't wait any longer, he planned to go find Teacher Kong Deming. Not only was Ye Xishui's luck crucial, but she herself was indispensable to all his future plans.

"No, he won't let me go back before this Soul Master Competition ends." Ye Xishui shook her head.

The deal between Zhongli the Old Ghost and Emperor Xu Yu was for her to participate in this Soul Master Competition and fully assist the Sun Moon Team in winning the championship, ending the glory of Shrek Academy!

“Let’s talk in your room,” Sheng Yangyue said.

"Huh?" Ye Xishui was stunned.

Seeing her stunned expression, Sheng Yangyue knew that she had misunderstood again, and quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, I have something important to tell you."

"Oh~" Ye Xishui drawled out her words as she walked to her room, opened the door, and gestured for Sheng Yangyue to follow.

After entering the room, Sheng Yangyue closed the door and then took out a soul tool that Ye Xishui had never seen before and placed it at the door. An invisible space instantly enveloped the entire room.

Seeing this, Ye Xishui looked at Sheng Yangyue in confusion: "Yangyue, what's wrong?"

"I've blocked out the outside space, so we can speak freely," Sheng Yangyue explained, putting away the soul tool. This soul tool was invented casually by Jin Tianming. It has to be said, Jin Tianming truly deserves his reputation as a workaholic; one wonders how his brain works.

They were born to the same father, so why is there such a big difference between them?
Ye Xishui, a genius of soul tools, couldn't help but squat down and touch that space. She felt another spatial fluctuation and looked up at Sheng Yangyue: "Was this soul tool also made by that senior?"

"Yes."

"Can I meet him then?"

"..." Sheng Yangyue fell silent. He really wanted to say that you had met that senior, but instead of seeking advice, you directly gave him a "heart-splitting" blow.

Jin Tianming: ...

Seeing that Sheng Yangyue remained silent, Ye Xishui quickly said, "If it doesn't work, then forget it. I won't make things difficult for you."

The young man in front of her was already being very kind by giving her a summary of soul tools; she shouldn't push her luck.

"By the way, what did you want to see me about?" Ye Xishui was secretly wondering how she should respond if Yang Yue confessed his feelings to her right now.
“Xi Shui, how about you go solo tomorrow?” Sheng Yangyue said slowly. “Otherwise, with that group of people keeping their eyes on me, it will be troublesome if they only bring up the exchange student issue with me.”

Although a hint of disappointment flashed through Ye Xishui's heart, she still carefully considered his words and nodded, saying, "Okay."

"Okay, that's settled then. I'm going back to sleep."

"what???"

"What's wrong?" Sheng Yangyue stopped and turned around to look at her in confusion.

"It's so late, Yangyue, why don't you sleep here?"

Holy Sun Moon: ...

My room is right across the street, lady, you're really lusting after me!

I crave your good fortune, and you crave mine, tsk~

Sheng Yangyue immediately turned around, opened the door, and walked out, closing the door behind her.

Ye Xishui watched Sheng Yangyue leave without even saying goodnight and couldn't help but pout: "You stingy guy!"
