Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 178 Douling Royal Academy
“Bing’er, we have now merged with Dong’er. Even if you are angry, you can’t go back.” Xue Di said. “I am also angry, but this world is a dog-eat-dog world. I’m afraid it won’t be long before humans will be able to threaten super soul beasts like us with their so-called soul guidance technology.”

After her initial anger subsided, Ice Emperor calmed down and sighed, "Humans are truly terrifying. Even we soul beasts need human power to truly step into the gates of godhood. Will we soul beasts one day in the future completely disappear?"

Snow Empress shook her head and said, "No matter what, that's a matter for the future. At least for now, humans can't do that. More importantly, Bing'er, the future of us soul beasts may depend on Dong'er."

“I have no doubt about that,” Bingdi said. “Dong’er is both human and born with the luck of a soul beast, just like the harmonious coexistence of humans and soul beasts.”

"However, if human soul masters want to become stronger, they will inevitably target soul beasts. As long as this remains unchanged, there will never be a day of peace between humans and soul beasts."

"Let's wait and see in the future." Xue Di looked at Wang Dong'er. "Dong'er and her teacher were able to create the Soul Spirit Technique. Perhaps they'll have a way to solve this problem after they become gods in the future?"

At least, the attitude of the God Realm towards soul beasts is obvious, but Wang Dong'er's attitude is different.

……

The next morning.

At Xingluo Square, the participating academies were already waiting in the rest area.

Today, Shrek Academy will be facing off against the number one academy of the Douling Empire: Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy.

At the round of 16, no academy should be underestimated, especially the Royal Academy of Fighting Spirit, which should have qualified first in its group.

This team has five Soul Kings, but Wang Yan is much more relaxed than before.

After all, starting today, their team will have two Soul Emperor-level members.

With Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng leading the charge, along with Ling Luochen, Wang Dong'er who is comparable to a Soul King, and Bei Bei and others, Shrek Academy's team configuration alone is enough to place them among the top teams.

Not to mention his tactical arrangements, which can deliver a fatal blow to these teams.

Only the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy would be a bit troublesome, but that's all it would be.

So what if we lose four inner court disciples? Shrek Academy can still win the championship!
Many academy teams also noticed that Shrek Academy had two more members today, which appeared to be Shrek's remaining two regular members.

Wang Yan stood in front of the team about to go into battle and said seriously, "During the team battle later, fight according to the strategy we have set up before. If they hadn't given up a match, we would have advanced to the top 16 as the top team in our group. You absolutely cannot let your guard down. Don't forget the consequences of being careless when facing the Grim Reaper."

Ma Xiaotao was initially dismissive because of her recovered injuries, but after hearing Wang Yan mention the Grim Reaper, the contempt in her eyes lessened somewhat.

The Grim Reaper is also a Soul King. She and Dai Yueheng, both Soul Emperors, were forced into their current state by a Soul King.

Moreover, it's no longer the round-robin stage; no match can be lost. Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo was still watching from the city walls, but this time his gaze was fixed on the girl with short, light blue hair in the Shrek Academy team.

Whether it was because Xu Jiujiu and Wang Dong'er were young people of the same generation, or because Xu Jiujiu was indeed far-sighted, she highly valued her good relationship with Wang Dong'er.

However, Xu Jiawei still felt that a reclusive Haotian Sect might not be involved in continental affairs, but Shrek Academy, as the number one academy on the Douluo Continent, would inevitably help them eliminate the Sun Moon Empire, whether to maintain its status as the number one academy or for some other reason.

A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative, let alone the Haotian Sect, which is hardly a distant relative at all.

Although the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's match was in the afternoon, I came to watch it at the venue.

Old Ma had already disappeared from the group. The reason they came to watch the game every time was to confirm Meng Hongchen's previous statement about cheating with cigars.

After observing for several days, they discovered that in Shrek Academy's team, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and He Caitou almost always lit a cigar in every battle, while Jiang Nannan, who was the same age as them, and the youngest Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Dong'er never lit one.

Logically speaking, since Shrek Academy chose this replicable cheating method, it's impossible that they would only allow a few people to cheat.

Especially Wang Dong'er, who possesses combat power equivalent to a Soul King, would undoubtedly become even stronger if she could obtain the assistance of that cigar. The instructors leading the Shrek Academy team would not possibly let her go.

So, it's highly likely that the remaining four people were unwilling to fight by cheating, and because of their status as Shrek Academy students, or because they were threatened, they did not choose to report themselves.

Ling Luochen, who later returned to the field as a regular member, also did not light a cigar, which puzzled the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. However, they assumed that Ling Luochen had the same reason as the four reserve team members, or that he felt it was unnecessary.

Now that Shrek Academy is facing a challenge from the Royal Academy of Fighting Spirits, it will inevitably have to reveal more of its power, as evidenced by the two newly emerged regular members.

On the competition stage, the referee began calling the two teams from the first match to come up. Ma Xiaotao was the first to stand up and walk in front, followed by Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochen, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong'er.

The captain of the Douling Royal Academy looked to be about the same age as Dai Yueheng, but he was very thin, and his broad frame looked like skin and bones.

Wang Yan has already described the situation of the main team members of the Douling Royal Academy. This captain, who looks very thin, is named Guzhujian. His martial soul is Zihuangzhu. Although it is a plant martial soul, it is a power attack type, and his strength has reached level 57.

The burly man beside the Guzhu Sword was named Qian Yuan, whose martial soul was the Terror Claw Bear, and he was a level 53 Soul King.

The core of the team is a young man named Xiao Feng, who is also the vice-captain of the Douling Royal Academy. His martial soul is the same as Huo Yuhao's, belonging to the mental type, but it is the weapon martial soul Mysterious Pearl, and his soul power is one level higher than Qian Yuan's.

Besides the three core members, the remaining two Soul Kings are Chi Hengyu, a defensive Soul Master with the Vajra Giant Shield Martial Soul, and Han Ling'er, an agility-attack Soul Master. The last two Soul Masters, Tang Niuniu and Qing Feng, are support and control types, respectively.

However, their formation was somewhat unusual. Gu Zhujian, as the captain, stood in the middle of the group, with Qian Yuan and Chi Hengyu in front of him, and Tang Niu Niu behind him.
