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

Chapter 320 Xuanzi: This is how compassionate and merciful we at Shrek Academy are! (4 words)

Sun and Moon Empire, Western Hills.

After carefully reviewing tonight's actions, Xuanzi immediately noticed the problem.

He didn't run west at first, but as he ran, he sensed a powerful high-altitude soul tool guarding him, so he kept changing direction and eventually ended up heading towards the western mountains.

In other words, the Sun Moon Empire had already laid out defenses in the east, south, and north directions long ago. No, these cannot be called defensive fortifications at all; they are ambushes and traps set by the Sun Moon Empire.

The Sun and Moon Empire must have started preparing a long time ago, with the aim of forcing all the teams participating in the competition to head towards the Western Mountain, where there is no threat whatsoever.

Wang Yan also recalled the rumors he had heard before and said to Xuanzi, "Elder Xuan, I have heard rumors that the Sun Moon Empire has deployed more than five level-nine fixed-position soul-guided shells in those three directions."

Xuanzi slapped his thigh: "That's no surprise! The Sun Moon Empire must want to capture us!"

"Hmph, it seems this explosion was indeed the right thing to do. The Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire is so ambitious, he actually made his move during the Soul Battle Tournament." Xuanzi sneered, quite pleased with himself.

Although he didn't see through Xu Tianran's schemes, the unintentional explosion in Mingdu must have given Xu Tianran a lot of trouble.
In this way, the other teams that haven't left Mingdu will definitely be able to escape as well, and when they return, they'll be grateful for Shrek Academy's kindness!

However, the sound of the wind around him brought Xuanzi back to reality.

Putting aside gratitude, Shrek Academy itself is already on the verge of danger.

This seemingly promising Xishan Mountain is definitely Xu Tianran's biggest scheme.

However, we'll have to investigate what dangers lie ahead first.

If Xuanzi hadn't been afraid of being separated from the students if he left, he would have rushed up to find out what was going on.

The Shrek Academy team is currently short of members; even losing just one member would be a huge loss for the school.

At this moment, the Shrek Seven Devils finally learned that the terrifying explosion was actually caused by Xuanzi.

Wang Yan immediately comforted him, saying, "Elder Xuan, this is not your fault. You just wanted to stop the war."

Xuanzi looked at Wang Yan, who was comforting him, with a slight surprise, but then he understood.

This massive explosion destroyed not only Mingdu, but also countless people within it. Wang Yan must have been trying to comfort him because he was afraid that it would affect his mood or even make him feel guilty.

It can only be said that he is indeed his good grand-disciple; such a compassionate and empathetic character could only be cultivated at Shrek Academy.

"Alas, the Sun Moon Empire's soul tool, capable of threatening Limit Douluos, should have been completely destroyed in this explosion," Xuanzi sighed. "But regardless, although we are enemies of the Sun Moon Empire, the civilians are still innocent..."

“Elder Xuan, your original intention was good, but an accident happened in the process. This was not your original intention, so how can you put all the blame on yourself?” Bei Bei said.

But in his mind, Zog sighed with great regret, "You guys ran too fast... If you could absorb the resentful spirits and energy generated by the explosion, your strength would definitely increase greatly!"

"Yes," Xu Sanshi nodded and said, "Elder Xuan, you see, putting aside the fact that you didn't intentionally cause this explosion, just look at those weapons. Such a terrifying explosion was caused by those weapons. You can imagine how many people would have been killed if these weapons had been placed on the battlefield?"

Dai Huabin chimed in, "This only shows the impact of underground explosions on the surface. What if these weapons were used directly on the ground?"

“Although He Caitou isn’t here, I’ve heard him talk about soul tools before,” Wang Yan speculated. “The power of this explosion is probably greater than that of several level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons exploding together.”

"Unfortunately, it is precisely because he is not here that we are unable to calmly estimate the actual number of casualties this explosion could cause," Wang Yan said.

Beibei shook her head and said, "In reality, how could the Sun Moon Empire's weapons depots not be well-defended? Although this explosion was powerful, it was also partially contained by the depot's own defenses. I estimate that the actual impact of the explosion will not spread to such a large area; it will just explode upwards more. The area that is truly severely affected should only be the core of the explosion."

"There will definitely be casualties, but the number shouldn't be too terrifying."

"Alright, this matter is over. The deceased is gone, so let's not discuss it anymore," Wang Yan said, clapping his hands.

If he continued, he feared that Elder Xuan would have a guilty conscience.

Elder Xuan is now the pillar of Shrek Academy, the master of the Sea God Pavilion. If Elder Xuan's mentality is damaged, how can he advance to the Limit Douluo level?

The Sun Moon Empire has Limit Douluo, and the Hall of Light also has Limit Douluo. If Shrek Academy doesn't produce a new Limit Douluo, how will it resist the Sun Moon Empire in the future?

Time passed slowly, and everyone spent a rather long dawn in meditation.

But the imagined dawn did not arrive, because the sky was completely covered by an incredibly thick fog.

Even Xuanzi only just noticed it.

"My perception has been greatly weakened by this fog." Xuanzi's first words put pressure on everyone.

"This fog overhead is like a cage, completely trapping us here. If we can't get out, we might..."

Xuanzi didn't say much, but everyone had to know the current situation.

"Now I will take you flying upwards, all of you, come on up." With that, Xuanzi revealed his Martial Soul True Form, the Taotie Divine Ox.

Once everyone was on the ox's back, Xuanzi soared into the sky, but before he had flown very high, he felt an immense pressure. Because he was diverting his soul power to protect the people on his back, he had not expected the pressure above to be so great. Xuanzi was so shocked that he crashed to the ground.

Although the people on his back were not seriously injured, they were also experiencing nausea and dizziness.

"What's going on?" Zhu Lu screamed in alarm.

Xuanzi withdrew from his Martial Soul True Body state, his face extremely grim.

As soon as he took flight, he felt as if the entire sky was against him. The pressure was beyond the limits of human strength. Even Limit Douluo like Elder Mu and Long Xiaoyao would not be able to fly here.

Moreover, long before everyone woke up, Xuanzi had already tried to break through by burrowing into the ground using the characteristics of his martial soul, but he failed again.

"Elder Xuan, let's split up and investigate," Dai Huabin suggested.

"No, we can't afford to separate now that things are this bad!" Wang Yan quickly refuted Dai Huabin's suggestion.

“Alright, I’ll lead the way. If we keep going in circles, then we’ll think of another way,” Xuanzi said, frowning.

The group looked at each other, having no better idea, and could only agree with Xuanzi and follow him forward.

As they continued their journey, the forest was utterly silent. There were no spirit beasts, and even insects seemed to have vanished. If they hadn't been traveling together, the silence would have driven them mad.

Soon, after traveling through the forest for a while, Xuanzi suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, Elder Xuan?" Wang Yan asked.

“It seems we’re about to make it out,” Xuanzi said. “Have you noticed that we’re no longer going around in circles like before?” “Really!” Zhu Lu exclaimed in surprise. “The terrain we’re traversing is different now!”

Finally, some encouraging good news arrived, and everyone couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, let's keep pushing! As long as we keep moving forward like this, we'll definitely make it out," Wang Yan encouraged.

As noon approached, the fog still lingered, and the forest remained silent and gloomy.

"Wang Yan, how much dry rations do we have left?" Xuanzi asked.

"Elder Xuan, there should be about ten days' worth left," Wang Yan said after checking his storage soul tool.

"Alright, let's rest here for a bit." Xuanzi stopped. "Wang Yan, bring me a big chicken leg!"

"Yes, Elder Xuan." Wang Yan took out a large chicken leg from his storage soul tool and watched Xuan Zi happily eating the meat and drinking wine.

"Why does it seem like Elder Xuan... hasn't been affected at all?" Wang Yan thought to himself.

People continued to eat and drink normally, seemingly unaffected by the suffering caused by the massive explosion that slaughtered countless innocent civilians.

Just then, a golden and silver halo surged in from afar, and before Xuanzi had even finished eating his big chicken leg, it was already covered by the golden and silver halo.

Everyone simultaneously unleashed their defensive abilities, but the golden and silver aura had no effect on them; it merely spread across their bodies.

The next moment, an incredibly strong pulling force came from the depths, dragging the people covered in gold and silver light deeper into the depths.

Nanmen Yun'er, who had the lowest soul power cultivation, was the first to be taken away, followed by Cao Jinxuan, Zhu Lu, and others.

Xuanzi's eyes were bloodshot. He raised his hand and unleashed a ball of yellow light, stopping Cao Jinxuan and the others who were being dragged away. However, Nanmen Yun'er screamed and disappeared into the depths.

However, as soon as Xuanzi made his move, the pulling force instantly became even stronger.

"Come closer!" Xuanzi shouted, using his power to gather everyone together. Then, under the powerful pulling force, they were pulled into the air.

Before long, the group was pulled out of the thick fog by this force, and their eyes were immediately filled with light.

The more oppressive the atmosphere was before, the more shocked they were at this moment.

What appeared before them now was a lake of gold and silver.

At the center of this two-colored lake is a circular golden lake surface, surrounded by a silver crescent-shaped lake surface.

The golden and silver halo that appeared in the thick fog earlier was emanating from this lake.

Nanmen Yun'er, who was the first to be pulled away, is now above the Golden Sun and Silver Moon Lake, still patting her chest in shock.

"Could this be the Valley of Love and Destiny?" Bei Bei asked.

They had previously encountered two black-clad evil spirit masters who came from the direction of the Western Mountains. The two evil spirit masters were referring to the Qiankun Wenqing Valley in the Western Mountains.

They explained the origin of Qiankun Wenqing Valley, but all they knew was that it was formed by the legend of the God of Love in the divine realm being betrayed by his lover and falling to his death.

As for anything else, they didn't know.

Everyone was also pulled to where Nanmen Yun'er was, and the golden sun and silver moon on the lake surface instantly became dazzling and rose up, engulfing everyone inside.

Xuanzi's Martial Soul True Form, which he had just used to gather everyone in the forest, was also reverted to its original form at this moment. A golden and silver light shield appeared on each person, which floated in mid-air, separated from each other, and then instantly fell into the lake.

When everyone opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a world that looked incredibly clear, as if it were carved from gold, silver, and crystal.

The light shields on everyone remained, but the same huge circular platform stood beneath their feet.

The platform is light gold in color, with several circles around the edge, and each person's landing point is one of these circles.

Above them was the light emanating from the lake, where the golden sun and silver moon had shone earlier, and there was nothing else around them.

“Children!” Xuanzi tried to call out to everyone, but found that his voice could not be heard at all, and it seemed that the others were the same.

The silence was just like the forest before.

“Qiankun Asks About Love Valley…” Xuanzi’s heart sank.

Is it another curse that keeps me in charge of leading the team?

First it was evil spirit masters, then spirit beasts, then evil spirit masters again, and now it's some kind of Qiankun Asking Love Valley?
But how exactly does this place operate? And what are people supposed to do in this area?
Just then, the golden circles beneath everyone's feet emitted a misty haze, and a beam of golden light shot out from the center of the platform, revolving around it.

……

Spirit world.

"Third brother, what's wrong?"

Xiao Wu looked at Tang San with a worried expression.

I don't know when it started, but Tang San always had a furrowed brow, as if he had encountered some big problem, but no matter how much I asked, I couldn't get any information out of him.

"It's nothing." Tang San stood up, but his heart was filled with joy.

After so long, he has finally reconnected with Douluo Continent.

I wonder what's going on with Douluo Continent now.

What exactly happened before?

But it's not convenient for me to take action right now...

Fortunately, Ning Rongrong had made preparations in advance; I wonder if she has already started...

Tang San was filled with anticipation.

As long as he can regain control of Douluo Continent and re-establish a deeper connection, he will know exactly what happened on Douluo Continent. At that time, he will settle accounts with the God of Destruction one by one!

It's unknown whether the chosen one was involved in this process, much like the trajectory of destiny itself...
