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

Chapter 252 Hibiscus: A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on; Shrek Academy has no driftwood (3 words)

“Since that Soul Battle Tournament, I’ve learned a lot of things I’d never known before. My brother… if he continues like this, he’ll truly become the sinner who drags the Star Luo Empire into the abyss.”

He looked at Wang Dong'er for a long time, his eyes sparkling. "The White Tiger lineage was able to abdicate the throne back then because they were already in decline and faced external threats of war. Our Star Crown lineage is in a very similar situation now. What the White Tiger lineage can do, I can naturally do too. Moreover, they had no choice but to do it, while I abandoned darkness and embraced light."

"Actually, the royal family's status isn't that noble. This world ultimately revolves around top-tier soul masters. Even if we lose our royal status, our Star Crown lineage is still a top-tier martial soul family."

Wang Dong'er hadn't expected Xu Jiujiu to be able to think of such a thing, but since Xu Jiujiu had already made her decision, she welcomed it.

Next, Wang Dong'er took out fragments of Life Gold from the Starlight Sapphire Bracelet.

"Now that you've joined the Hall of Light, we're family. Absorb this. Then, when the stars are shining brightly tonight, I'll give you another immortal herb to absorb."

"A magical herb?" Xu Jiujiu looked puzzled.

"Well, just think of it as the Xuan Shui Dan plus the Sheng Hun Dan, which has no side effects and is more than ten times more powerful."

"Is that so?" Xu Jiujiu thought of her best friend Vina, who had chosen the Body Sect, and sighed for a moment.

Although Wang Dong'er didn't explain the fragments of the living gold, she could already sense the life energy contained within them, making it undoubtedly a valuable item.

Then, with Wang Dong'er's help, Xu Jiujiu absorbed the fragments of the Life Gold.

By the time the fragments of living beings' gold were fully fused, it was already evening.

Because of the special nature of the Star Crown Martial Soul, Xu Jiujiu usually needs to absorb starlight power when she cultivates at night. The immortal herb that Wang Dong'er prepared for her is an immortal herb called Star Luo Spirit Pearl.

The Starry Sky Pearl can enhance the communication between a Soul Master and the starry sky. Among immortal herbs, it is a very gentle and approachable type that can even be transformed into a Soul Core.

This immortal herb is a perfect match for Xu Jiujiu's Star Crown Martial Soul.

Upon obtaining the immortal herb, Xu Jiujiu was already able to feel the harmony between her martial soul and the herb. During the process of absorbing the herb, she could feel a sense of exhilaration, as if she were traveling through a sea of ​​stars. When she came to her senses, starlight had already gathered around her.

Xu Jiujiu could clearly feel that the original Star Crown Martial Soul's powerful soul skills, such as Star Guardian, which were made stronger by bathing in and absorbing starlight, were now much more effective than before, with a significant increase in the speed and capacity of absorbing star power.

This can be described as an evolutionary advancement.

Feeling the changes in his martial spirit and other aspects, Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but feel even more fortunate for the decision he had made.

Unfortunately, according to Wang Dong'er, if she had taken this immortal herb when she was a Soul Venerable, the improvement she would have received would have been even greater.

However, Xu Jiujiu was quite content. Without Wang Dong'er, she wouldn't even know that such a thing as immortal herbs existed in this world.

Wang Dong'er informed everyone that the Hall of Light had gained a new member.

No one questioned her joining.

After all, Wang Dong'er has already agreed, so what problems could there be?

Then, because of Wang Dong'er's readily agreed and the immortal herbs and life-giving gold she received, coupled with the welcome from the other members, Xu Jiujiu began to show signs of self-pity...

After spending two days in Tiandou City doing almost nothing, Huo Yuhao brought back someone from outside who was somewhat unexpected to meet there.

"Teacher Mu?" When Wang Dong'er saw Mu Jin, she thought she had mistaken someone else for someone else.

"I'm no longer a teacher at Shrek Academy," Mu Jin said, shaking her head. "It's been two years. I never thought I'd see you all again."

"What happened?" Wang Dong'er asked.

People who had once been to Shrek Academy gathered around, very curious about what Mu Jin, a teacher at Shrek Academy, had gone through.

Then, Mu Jin recounted her experience of secretly going out to gather information after the Soul Fighting Tournament ended, and everything that happened after she returned to the academy.

After seeing the true faces of Fan Yu and Zhou Yi, the "conjoined twins," Mu Jin completely severed all ties with Fan Yu.

However, she did not leave Shrek Academy because of this. After all, she had been studying at Shrek Academy since she was young, and after graduation, she stayed at Shrek Academy as a teacher. She had been working there for quite some time, and she had some nostalgia for it.

However, after the Soul Battle Tournament, Shrek Academy directly replaced all of Mu Jin's resources with Zhou Yi, and Mu Jin began to become marginalized.

At first, things were alright, but over the next two years, Shrek Academy underwent drastic changes. First, Zhou Yi became the top teacher in Shrek's outer academy, receiving the same honor as Fan Yu as a special-grade teacher, with her status second only to the two deans and the head of teaching, Du Weilun. Then, some of the teachers who were previously close to Mu Jin began to ostracize her and praise Zhou Yi.

Mu Jin, who had always been at odds with Zhou Yi, could not stand this insult and immediately protested to Shrek Academy.

However, Du Weilun implied that Mu Jin's teaching quality was too low and could not compare to Zhou Yi's at all. He suggested that she should just be a mid-level teacher and even threatened that if Mu Jin continued to affect Zhou Yi's teaching and worsen the atmosphere of the foreign language department, he would expel her directly.

Coincidentally, Zhou Yi had always been indifferent to Mu Jin, but ever since she became successful, she started to increase Mu Jin's power. One reason was that there had been a long-standing grudge; another reason was that when Wang Dong'er was in the academy, Mu Jin was the first to stand up for Wang Dong'er and increase her power; and yet another reason was that Mu Jin had reported Zhou Yi.

For various reasons, Zhou Yi had been on guard for a long time, and now that she had the chance, she was determined to crush Mu Jin to death in the ground before she would be satisfied.

Mu Jin stayed at the academy only because of her romantic feelings for Fan Yu and her nostalgia for Shrek Academy. After all these things, even if she still had feelings, she had come to see her current situation clearly.

Shrek Academy had no place for her.

As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a good tree to perch on. Mu Jin felt that even if she wasn't a good bird, she should at least be a normal one. Shrek Academy, this withered and rotten tree, was definitely not a place she could stay any longer.

On the vast ocean, Shrek Academy had no driftwood to rest on, so how could she not find any other place?
Therefore, Mu Jin unilaterally expelled Shrek Academy and left Shrek City alone with her belongings.

What made Mu Jin feel uneasy was that when she unilaterally announced her expulsion from Shrek Academy, a murderous intent seemed to flash by, but she couldn't sense who had the intention to kill her.

So Mu Jin didn't dare to stop for a moment and ran all the way to Tian Dou City before she could rest.

Her original plan was to join the Imperial Academy, the royal academy of the Heavenly Soul Empire, but she didn't expect to run into Huo Yuhao in the city, so she came along with him.

"That bitch Zhou Yi even said that once you left Shrek Academy, you were destined to become just another ordinary person. I always thought she was the one with the narrow-minded view. Now it seems that the entire Shrek Academy underestimated you all," Mu Jin sighed.

Because she realized that with her own abilities, she could no longer discern the true strength of Wang Dong'er and the others.

It's only been a few years since I entered Shrek Academy.
"By the way, where did you go after you left Shrek Academy? How come we haven't heard from you for two whole years? If we could hear from you, that bitch Zhou Yi probably wouldn't be acting so arrogantly," Mu Jin asked.

“Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy,” Wang Dong’er said.

"What? The sun and moon?" Hibiscus asked in surprise.

For the Douluo Continent, which originally belonged to the Three Kingdoms, the Sun Moon Empire, along with its royal family and citizens, had long been demonized thanks to the relentless propaganda efforts of the three imperial families and Shrek Academy.

It can be said that if one had not personally visited the Sun Moon Empire, the vast majority of commoners in the three great empires would only think that the Sun Moon Empire was an extremely evil and filthy country, where the commoners had a lower status and lived worse lives than them.

Even the beggars in the imperial capital could proudly puff out their chests upon hearing the name of the Sun and Moon Empire, as if they were superior to others.

"In that case, may I come with you?" Mu Jin's heart stirred.

Wang Dong'er has a very strong background, something Mu Jin could have guessed back when they were at Shrek Academy.

After all, not just anyone dares to confront the Dean of Students at Shrek Academy.

Upon hearing Mu Jin's question, Wang Dong'er pondered for a moment.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy teaches heavy soul tools, so Mu Jin definitely can't enroll there. She can only become a teacher, and with her teaching abilities, she can only teach about martial souls.

Perhaps Jing Hongchen can make some arrangements.

“Teacher Mu, if you come with us, you won’t be able to get away,” Wang Dong’er said.

If we were to bring Mu Jin along, then either Mu Jin would have to participate, or a large group of people would have to fly back to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy together using a flying soul tool.

Wang Dong'er explained the situation to Mu Jin as concisely as possible, and Mu Jin immediately fell into deep thought.

After a moment's thought, Mu Jin made her final choice.

……

Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

After handing Mu Jin over to Jing Hongchen for arrangements, Wang Dong'er led Gu Yuena to the academy's teaching building area.

Xuan Ziwen was already waiting here.

"You're finally back." Seeing Wang Dong'er, Xuan Ziwen breathed a sigh of relief. "Where are the others?"

"They're in the apartment."

Xuan Ziwen nodded knowingly, and then said, "The research on sealed baby bottles is close to success. As the most versatile energy source, soul power may soon be able to start civilian development. At that time, soul power will develop in parallel with other energy sources, and this world will surely usher in a new era."

"Wang Dong'er, you are the founder of a new era!"
