Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 147 Teacher-Student Play and Weighing It Up: Yan Shaozhe's Disciple Sells It
After their sea voyage, Shu Yan and his companion were joined by Hai Xunxun, who looked like a college student.

This girl clearly possesses the cultivation level of a Super Douluo, and she's not exactly young, but her mind is like that of a naive teenage girl. It's truly... quite strange...

Hai Mengqin will have to wait a while before she can leave Seagod Island. She is a Limit Douluo, and although her main combat power is in the mental realm, her mental strength is indeed terrifyingly strong. Not to mention, she also has a mental artifact. Even if something unexpected happens, she is absolutely confident in protecting herself.

In contrast, due to Hai Mengqin's special status, even though the Poseidon family had many powerful members, they still dared not attack her casually. After Hai Xunxun successfully left Poseidon Island, a female Title Douluo from the Poseidon family quickly took her place.

The guardians of the Seven Pillars have always been six men and one woman since ancient times. This is an unwritten rule, at least the guardians of the Ama Pillars have always been women.

……

It was a day later when they set foot on land again.

The three arrived at the seaside city where Han Ruoruo and Shu Yan had previously vacationed. It was somewhat similar to the city on Poseidon Island, but not entirely the same. At least the local customs and culture were very different.

Hai Xunxun, like a child who had never seen the world, touched and looked around everywhere, while Shu Yan and Han Ruoruo followed behind her, cleaning up her messes.

After tossing down a few gold soul coins, the merchant, who had originally intended to utter a few "polite words," immediately forced himself to put on a fawning smile, almost praising Hai Xunxun's touch.

In this day and age, the purchasing power of Gold Soul Coins is still quite terrifying. At least, vendors selling jewelry or snacks can't earn much Gold Soul Coins all year round.

Shu Yan planned to take the two of them to rest in the city for a day, and also let Hai Xunxun familiarize herself with the various rules and regulations of the human world. Otherwise, given her appearance, people who didn't know her might think she had some mental issues...

……

The day passed quickly.

Shu Yan and his two companions continued their journey back to Shrek Academy.

After returning this time, he will have some peace and quiet for a while. He was forcibly added to the Shrek Seven Devils quite some time ago, and as for the so-called Soul Master Competition... Shu Yan doesn't care much about it now; he'll just go through the motions.

Well, let's just treat it as a publicly funded trip.

Han Ruoruo also had plans for this. She intended to apply to the academy to accompany the participating teams to Xingluo City as a teacher this time.

Wu Ming also had this plan, but she did not intend to accompany them as a teacher. Inner Academy students had much more freedom than outer Academy students. She would simply find an excuse to leave the academy, and then she could do whatever she wanted.

Moreover, with Wu Ming's cultivation level, she is already qualified to take the graduation exam for the inner court of Shrek Academy, although she doesn't want to take the exam for the time being.

Hmm... it's not a good thing if word gets out about teacher-student play...

However, if Shu Yan wanted it, she could grant his wish. After all, Shu Yan was the number one person on the continent in everyone's eyes. What's wrong with a genius of this caliber doing something special when he was young?
To countless people on the mainland, this would only be seen as youthful arrogance... Even if someone brings it up again in the future, it will at most be a topic of conversation about the romantic escapades of the mainland's number one man...

Wu Ming was certain that the effect and result of her and Shu Yan doing this would be completely different from that of ordinary people doing this...

This is the source of her confidence in Shu Yan and herself!
As for Ling Luochen, she was originally a member of the Shrek Seven Devils in this competition. In particular, she is now a Soul Emperor-level ultimate Soul Master. In terms of combat power, she is even close to Ma Xiaotao. After all, no matter how strong Ma Xiaotao's evil fire is, it is not the ultimate fire. Without the ultimate fire, it will eventually be suppressed in front of the ultimate ice.

……

Shrek City.

Shu Yan and Han Ruoruo led Hai Xunxun into a large hotel.

This hotel is also owned by the Han family, and inside the wine hall, Shu Yan also met his old acquaintance Gu Yun.

After some time apart, Gu Yun's mature charm had become even more pronounced, especially her ample bosom, which made Hai Xunxun, who had never seen much of the world, widen her eyes in disbelief.

The next instant, before Gu Yun could react, Hai Xunxun was already in front of her, reaching out to weigh it in her hand…

Gu Yun's pretty face flushed crimson in an instant. She quickly took two steps back, looking at Hai Xunxun in disbelief. She never expected that a seemingly naive and innocent girl would dare to treat her like this on their first meeting...

Especially since this was in the hotel lobby, and although the area had been cleared for Shu Yan and the others' arrival, she was still so embarrassed she almost scratched herself with her toes. Her observation skills were incredibly sharp; just a moment ago, she clearly noticed a hint of amazement in Shu Yan's eyes...

Han Ruoruo couldn't help but rub her forehead slightly, then stepped forward and pulled away Hai Xunxun, who belatedly realized she had gone a bit too far.

"Aunt Gu, this is Hai Xunxun, a Sea Soul Master we met on the high seas, and also a Super Douluo. It's just that her personality... well, you've seen it yourself, so please be more tolerant of her in the future..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yun forgot her shyness and her eyes were filled with shock.

Hai Xunxun looks to be only a teenager, but she already possesses the cultivation level of a Super Douluo. However, just as Han Ruoruo said, this sir's personality... is indeed a bit too peculiar...

"Greetings, Your Majesty. My name is Gu Yun, and I am the manager of this hotel. I will be in charge of your daily life from now on. If you have any questions, please feel free to come to me at any time."

After regaining her senses, Gu Yun gracefully bowed slightly and then spoke softly.

Hai Xunxun glanced at Han Ruoruo, quickly stepped forward to help Gu Yun up, and then said somewhat embarrassedly:
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to, it's just that this place is... really too spicy, I couldn't help myself..."

A slight blush crept onto Gu Yun's face. She brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and then said:

"It's alright, we're all women, but please be a little more mindful in the future; this kind of behavior is very impolite..."

"Okay, I'll pay attention."

Hai Xunxun glanced at it one last time, then nodded and said.

Han Ruoruo whispered a few words to Gu Yun, and then took Hai Xunxun aside to talk.

This is Shrek City, a place teeming with hidden talents. The fact that Hai Xunxun is half-human and half-soul beast is something most people can't see through, but there's always the risk of accidents. So, out of caution, Han Ruoruo decided to set a few "rules" for Hai Xunxun to prevent her from causing trouble in the human world.

Meanwhile, Gu Yun, whose blush had not yet completely faded, came to Shu Yan's side.

"Young Master, you seem to have grown taller since I last saw you..."

Shu Yan smiled lightly, and then said:

"Yes, Aunt Gu is even more radiant now. I just wonder who will be lucky enough to have such a beautiful Aunt Gu in the future."

Gu Yun took Shu Yan's arm and walked towards her private lounge, saying as they went:

"Young Master is too kind. I'm almost fifty years old and have no plans to find a companion in this life. If you don't mind, I can help you take care of your children in the future..."

Yu Bingyan was completely clueless about childcare, so Gu Yun, her confidante, naturally took on the responsibility. Shu Yan was cared for by Gu Yun from infancy. If one had to say, Gu Yun was the person who spent the most time with Shu Yan during his childhood, and the depth of their friendship was unimaginable to ordinary people.

"Then it's a deal. I have complete confidence in Aunt Gu taking care of the child..."

Shu Yan smiled and lay down on the soft sofa. Gu Yun, with a smile in her eyes, took off her high heels and knelt down beside Shu Yan, who had turned over, and gently massaged his body.

It has to be said that when it comes to massages, Shu Yan felt that even the three of them combined couldn't compare to Gu Yun's alone. A professional is a professional; amateurs simply can't compare…

After returning to the inner courtyard, Shu Yan met with the old man Yan Shaozhe.

Ever since he was "slightly outmatched" in the high-altitude PK with Xuanzi last time, Yan Shaozhe's gaze towards him has completely changed. That gaze made Shu Yan feel slightly uneasy. If he didn't know what kind of personality this old man had, Shu Yan would even think that he had traveled to Chengdu for further studies...

Sitting in Yan Shaozhe's office, Shu Yan said with a hint of helplessness:
"Dean Yan, please just say what you want to say. Why are you staring at me like that? It's really awkward..."

Yan Shaozhe then came to his senses. He coughed twice to ease the awkwardness before saying:
"Um... Ah Yan, I heard that you have already broken through to the Soul Saint realm, is that right?"

"Yes, Dean Yan."

"So you've already got your seventh spirit ring sorted out?"

"Yes, Dean Yan."

"Is it a 100,000-year spirit ring?"

"Yes, Dean Yan."

"So what do you think of Xiaotao?"

"Yes, Dean Yan."

Shu Yan subconsciously gave a casual reply, but then he suddenly came to his senses.

"Dean Yan, what do you mean by that? I have a girlfriend. I advise you to calm down..."

Shu Yan's gaze toward Yan Shaozhe gradually became wary. He knew that Yan Shaozhe's thought process had always been a bit eccentric, but he never expected that the conversation would turn to Ma Xiaotao.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Yan Shaozhe's old face, but being a seasoned veteran of the underworld, he cleared his throat and continued:

"Look at what you're saying... Never mind, let's not talk about that... Um, let me ask you, have Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming both broken through?"

Shu Yan nodded. There was indeed no point in hiding it. After all, Yan Shaozhe was a Super Douluo, so it wasn't difficult for him to see that Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming had broken through.

Upon seeing Shu Yan's admission, a fleeting look of surprise crossed Yan Shaozhe's eyes. He pondered for a moment before continuing:

"If I'm not mistaken, Han Ruoruo's ninth spirit ring and Wu Ming's eighth spirit ring are both 100,000-year spirit rings, right? And Wu Ming and Ling Luochen's martial souls have most likely evolved to their ultimate attributes. I'm not wrong, am I?"

When Yan Shaozhe said this, his eyes were burning, as if he had already confirmed the answer to the question and was just waiting to confirm it with Shu Yan.

"Dean Yan is absolutely right about that."

Shu Yan chuckled and then said.

Extreme attribute martial souls are too special. Ling Luochen usually has to train, so it is impossible for her not to reveal her martial soul. It is easy for people to notice the changes in her. Not to mention that there is also Ma Xiaotao in the team who is infinitely close to the extreme fire. Sure enough, Yan Shaozhe also found out about this matter soon after.

Upon hearing Shu Yan's admission, Yan Shaozhe still couldn't help but clench his hands tightly.

Only three people with the ultimate attribute have appeared in the past ten thousand years, but now, two soul masters with the ultimate attribute have quietly emerged in front of Yan Shaozhe.

Yan Shaozhe understood all too well what ultimate attributes meant. Ultimate attribute martial souls were all super martial souls, and even if the owner did not become a Limit Douluo, they should at least be able to reach the level of Xuanzi.

What shocked Yan Shaozhe even more was that these two ultimate attribute Soul Masters were both born later in life. This meant that Shu Yan, as the mastermind, definitely possessed a method or treasure that could help ordinary Soul Masters become ultimate Soul Masters...

Yan Shaozhe forced himself to calm down, and then asked a question that he still hadn't dared to be sure about:

What is your relationship with the three female trainees mentioned above?

Shu Yan looked at Yan Shaozhe with a half-smile, then he said softly:

"It's obvious, they're all my girlfriends, otherwise why would I have so much time to help them improve themselves..."

Yan Shaozhe's lips twitched. He felt like covering his face and sighing, but at the same time, he wasn't particularly surprised.

People always ask questions with the answers in mind, and even Yan Shaozhe is no exception.

"You brat... I... you... Sigh, never mind, I can't interfere in your affairs, but I still have to say, you're really something, managing to take down three of the most outstanding female students in the inner courtyard at the same time. You've got the flair I had in my youth... cough cough..."

Shu Yan looked at Yan Shaozhe with a strange expression, but didn't say anything more.

It's true that Yan Shaozhe was a womanizer when he was young, but he clearly didn't handle things as well as Shu Yan did, otherwise he wouldn't only have Cai Meier as his partner now.

On the other side, Yan Shaozhe was both shocked and somewhat helpless.

Normally, Shrek Academy does not allow such a situation of "one husband, multiple wives," but unfortunately, Shu Yan is too special and cannot be measured by normal standards. In addition, the female students have too much influence in the inner academy. Even though he is the dean of Shrek Academy, he can't really say anything. At most, he can only pretend to criticize a few words.

If all else fails... then how about three cups of slapstick?
This was the most severe punishment Yan Shaozhe could think of. If you asked him to dismiss Shu Yan, Han Ruoruo, and the other two, Yan Shaozhe would absolutely refuse.

Leaving aside the fact that Shu Yan is now the biggest face of Shrek Academy, Han Ruoruo and the other two are also indispensable pillars of the inner academy. It is because of people like them that the inner academy has become a sacred place of cultivation that countless genius soul masters are eager to enter. If they leave, it will be a great blow to Shrek Academy.

But on second thought, this seems to be a good thing?
Since Shu Yan already has three girlfriends, it doesn't seem like he would mind having another one, Xiao Tao.
Shu Yan is undoubtedly the number one person on the continent in the eyes of his own teacher, which is incredibly prestigious. In addition, Shu Yan is handsome and dashing, and he controls countless treasures that are unimaginable to ordinary people. Marrying Xiao Tao to him would not be a loss for her. Moreover, it won't be long before she can transform into the ultimate fire phoenix and completely eliminate the threat of the evil fire.

With such a powerful backer, she will have greater say and confidence within the Sea God Pavilion in the future. Moreover, this move further strengthens the relationship between Shu Yan and Shrek Academy, since Ma Xiaotao cannot possibly leave Shrek Academy...

Moreover! As Ma Xiaotao's closest teacher, Yan Shaozhe knew that Ma Xiaotao's feelings for Shu Yan were somewhat different... His actions seemed to be a win-win situation.

Thinking of this, Yan Shaozhe almost slapped his leg in excitement. How could he be such a genius?!
After a moment's thought, Yan Shaozhe said with a sense of desperation:

"Hey, Ayan, you already have three girlfriends, so one more or one less won't make a difference... Look at my Xiaotao, you two are a perfect match, and she's deeply in love with you. She even told me she won't marry anyone but you. I was thinking... why don't you two try getting to know each other and give her a chance...?"

As Yan Shaozhe finished speaking, a crisp sound of something falling to the ground suddenly came from outside the office door. As the office door was slowly pushed open, Ma Xiaotao's pretty face, flushed red whether from embarrassment or anger, came into their view...

Shu Yan smiled with interest, then stood up and said:
"Dean Yan, I have some things to attend to later, so I'll be leaving now... Oh, by the way, Senior Sister Xiao Tao only heard the last sentence; she didn't hear anything before that. Please explain things to her properly; I believe she'll understand..."

Yan Shaozhe looked at Ma Xiaotao, his mouth opening and closing, but in the end he only managed to say with some difficulty:

"Xiaotao, let the teacher explain..."
