Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 138 Tang Wulin, who has money to treat everyone, and Cai Yue'er, who tries to expel students from the Spirit Transmission Academy!
"Didn't the dance teacher come with you?"

At the school gate, Nan Liujing personally received Tang Wulin and the other two.

Tang Wulin shook his head and said, "Teacher Wu went to Tiandou City to handle some matters."

Nan Liujing seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed that the disappearance of Shrek Academy's outer courtyard had also changed the development of Wu Changkong's storyline.

"I'll take you to your dorm first, and then I'll take you to take the entrance exam."

The four of them walked together. The Chuanling Academy undoubtedly attracted Tang Wulin and his companions' attention. After all, the buildings inside were basically demolished and rebuilt, and all of them were carefully designed to blend with nature. Most importantly, the spiritual energy inside the campus was significantly richer than outside, which could play a prominent role in cultivation.

After waiting for a while by the platform, a campus sightseeing bus drove up.

This is quite novel; at least within Donghai Academy, Donghai No. 3 Primary School has never been seen before.

"Brother Nan, I've arranged a table at Xiangju Restaurant. Are you free tonight?" Tang Wulin asked in a low voice.

Nan Liujing glanced at him with interest: "Xiangjulou is one of the top five restaurants in Shrek City. It seems your forging skills have improved quite a bit and you've made a lot of money."

Tang Wulin smiled and said, "It's alright, it's alright."

Xie Xie interjected, "Brother Nan, you don't know, after the Federation Grand Competition, Wu Lin suddenly went from being a miser to a spendthrift, he's incredibly generous."

"Oh?" Nan Liujing couldn't help but glance at Tang Wulin again.

Tang Wulin coughed lightly: "We're all friends, so of course I can't be stingy when it comes to treating you."

The real reason is that ever since Old Tang told him that there was no rush to absorb the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, Tang Wulin no longer had a huge need to buy spiritual items, so he was able to save money, and even quite a lot of it. At least when he went on dates with Mu Xi, she didn't have to pay for them.

Nan Liujing smiled and said, "I'll make the arrangements tonight. I have a few people with me."

Tang Wulin quickly said, "It's alright, Brother Nan, you can call your friends too."

“One thing at a time, there are some people you don’t even know yet.” Nan Liujing shook his head. “It’s decided then. After the opening ceremony, when everyone gets to know each other, you can treat everyone.”

"Alright then." Tang Wulin knew that once Nan Liujing made up his mind, it was difficult to change it.

With anticipation in their hearts, the group quickly arrived at the dormitory area.

Upon arrival, the three boys were stunned by the luxurious facilities in the dormitory area.

The dormitory area of ​​the Spirit Transmission Academy is actually built in an artificial forest. Each small pavilion is like an elf's abode, cleverly distributed throughout, and each even comes with a small garden. As you walk around, you can also find a martial arts arena, a game room, and a canteen.

Xu Xiaoyan exclaimed in astonishment, "This isn't school, it's a vacation!"

Xie Xie swallowed hard: "Brother Nan, how many Federal Dollars is the accommodation fee per semester?"

"It's free," Nan Liujing said calmly.

The three little ones were immediately shocked.

Such top-notch accommodations, and they're free?
A single bed board at Donghai Academy costs 10,000 Federal Dollars.

Nan Liujing added, "The Spirit Pagoda wouldn't stoop to asking its students for such a small amount of accommodation money."

Rich enough to rival a country!

This was the only word that Sanxiao could think of.

Before I had walked more than a few steps, a group of people came towards me, men and women, each with a smile on their face.

"President."

Upon seeing Nan Liujing, the group immediately shouted excitedly.

Nan Liujing's role at Chuanling Academy is that of student council president, and he also serves as president of the Blacksmith Association.

"How are you feeling?" Nan Liujing asked casually.

The male student in the lead said with a smile, "It's so much better than the Shrek Outer Courtyard where we used to live. Before, dozens of us had to fight for one toilet, but now all the private rooms in the attic have their own bathrooms."

Dozens of people fighting over a toilet?

These words startled Tang Wulin and the other two.

"That's good." Nan Liujing said gently. "Although school hasn't officially started yet, the various sub-professional associations have already begun operating. You can go and take a look when you have time."

"Yes," the crowd replied respectfully. They no longer regarded Nan Liujing as an equal.

"Brother Nan, what do you mean by saying that dozens of people from Shrek Academy's outer courtyard are fighting over one toilet?" Xu Xiaoyan asked curiously.

Nan Liujing explained, "As you should know, the location of the Spirit Transmission Academy is the original Shrek Outer Academy. Compared to the accommodation conditions of the Spirit Transmission Academy that you see now, the Shrek Outer Academy was much worse. Because there were fewer students, it was basically a dormitory building, and dozens of people lived on each floor. There were no private toilets, only a public toilet at the end of the corridor. Therefore, students in the same corridor had to fight for a toilet every morning."

"Huh?" The three of them were dumbfounded.

"This is even more stingy than Wu Lin used to be." Xie Xie suddenly attacked his good brother, "Speaking of which, Shrek Academy isn't short of money, is it? Why don't they make the dormitories better?"

Nan Liujing said, "Because one of Shrek Academy's mottos is that only under harsh conditions can students cultivate better."

"In fact, this school motto was just a saying made up when Shrek Academy was poor. When Shrek Academy became rich, it was called a legacy, and it was said that the original Seven Devils grew stronger step by step under such conditions. When later generations heard this, they thought it made sense, and so it has been maintained to this day."

The three children remained silent.

Neuropathy!
The accommodation area was quite large, and Tang Wulin and his group encountered many students who had already checked in. To their surprise, every student greeted Nan Liujing respectfully, with genuine and unpretentious eyes.

Brother Nan is very popular. The three little ones thought to themselves.

After solving the accommodation problem for the three boys, Nan Liujing took them to the training area.

He didn't reveal any inside information about the Dark Netherworld; Tang Wulin and the others had to figure it out for themselves.

The three worked together seamlessly as always, and passed the assessment with great ease.

That evening, Nan Liujing arranged a dinner party.

Gu Yue, Na'er, Yuan En Ye Hui, Wu Si Duo, and Ye Xing Lan were all present.

Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue reunited, and the two sisters spent some time being affectionate.

But once the meal officially started, the atmosphere at the table became a bit strange.

Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan tried to find the reason, but they couldn't figure it out no matter what they did.

After eating heartily for a while and getting to know each other for a moment, the three little ones finally came to their senses.

All the friends that Brother Nan invited were girls!

Bystanders see things more clearly, but they dare not speak out.

Every time Ye Xinglan peeled shrimp for Nan Liujing, her eyes would always sweep towards Gu Yue and Na'er, especially Gu Yue, where she would even squint her eyes slightly.

Na'er, with a carefree expression, seemed oblivious to the sharp glint in his eyes, and playfully called out "brother" to help her peel the shells.

Gu Yue maintained a cold expression throughout, but whenever Ye Xinglan pinched shrimp meat with her slender white fingers and fed it to Nan Liujing, their fingers and lips touching, or whenever Nan Liujing affectionately helped Na'er pick up food, Gu Yue would always quietly tighten her grip on her chopsticks.

Yuan Enhui and Wu Siduo were perhaps the most composed of the two.

They ignored everything else at the table and focused solely on discussing cultivation methods.

"I almost forgot about the real thing."

Just as Tang Wulin and the others were watching the drama unfold with bated breath, Nan Liujing spoke up.

At the dinner table, everyone instinctively looked at him.

Nan Liujing then said, "After the official start of the semester, there will be a class team competition in a month. If you can help your class win first place, you will receive a reward from the academy. You must seize the opportunity. Moreover, the person who wins first place can join the student council. There are many things that I, as the president, will not only be responsible for, but also the vice president and the heads of various departments will need to take action."

The three children looked completely bewildered, while the five beauties' eyes flashed with a sharp glint. Nan Liujing was the president; weren't the vice presidents and department heads his right-hand men?

Tang Wulin asked, "Brother Nan, are you participating?"

“I’m not participating,” Nan Liujing shook his head. “To be precise, I’m part of the students, but I don’t have to attend classes every day, so I’m more like a mascot.”

"Then we still have a chance to compete for the championship." Tang Wulin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you serious?" Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan stared straight at him.

Tang Wulin was taken aback, noticing the fierce fighting spirit in the eyes of the five girls opposite him, and subconsciously swallowed. "Then... then let's try to get a ranking, not the championship."

...

Poseidon Island.

"What a shame!"

"Those idiots who defected from the academy halfway and then joined the Spirit Transmission Academy actually slandered our Shrek Academy for having dozens of students fight over one toilet. Doesn't everyone know that it was a special arrangement by the academy to temper their will?"

"I suggest we negotiate with the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo to expel these idiots who are so ungrateful!"

On both sides of the large long table sat a group of senior members of the Sea God Pavilion.

Hearing the familiar roar, everyone felt a sense of disorientation.

came back.

Cai Yue'er's memories of cursing like a madwoman resurfaced.

Looking at Cai Yue'er, who was almost hysterical, Yun Ming was at his wit's end.

"All right."

He frowned. "The Sea God Pavilion meeting is for our internal matters, not for you to discuss the Spirit Transmission Academy."

A hint of ferocity flashed in Cai Yue'er's eyes, but she said nothing and sat down with a cold face.

Yun Ming said in a deep voice, "I have decided to cooperate with the Monster Academy of the Star Luo Continent."

Ok?
Aside from elders like Zhuoshi, Feng Wuyu, and Zhao Lanchun, the other elders from the collateral branches all looked surprised. Wasn't the previously revealed news about establishing a new academy? How did it turn into a collaboration with Monster Academy?
The elders of the Star Luo Continent were well aware of the situation. Monster Academy was the number one academy on the Star Luo Continent, and its principal was Saint Dragon Douluo, who was also a Limit Douluo standing at the peak.

Yun Ming said calmly, "It was the Tang Clan that connected us, and I also intend to take advantage of this opportunity to make something of myself."

The elders' expressions changed slightly.

The phrase "borrowing a hen to lay eggs" has a classic story circulating in Shrek Academy.

Twenty thousand years ago, the first dean, Flander, intended to use the Heaven Dou Royal Soul Master Academy to cultivate the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils. When the time was right, he would change the world of the Royal Academy. However, he did not expect that some problems would occur along the way.

But it didn't matter. Later, with the help of the Blue Tyrant Academy owned by their ancestor Liu Erlong, they completed a new round of leveraging existing resources. It was from that time that the legend of the academy truly began.

"Does the Pavilion Master intend to take over Monster Academy?" an elder immediately asked excitedly.

In fact, many elders within Shrek Academy longed for the academy to expand like the Tang Sect or the Spirit Pagoda, but previous leaders had all expressed their opposition.

Two years have passed since the cheating scandal broke out. Shrek Academy seems to have shrunk in all aspects and is not having an easy time. In fact, the academy still has great strength. After all, it has accumulated 20,000 years of strength and cannot be completely wiped out by a scandal. In fact, in a sense, the scandal has helped the academy filter out a group of graduates who are not loyal enough.

Those who remained were almost all fervent supporters of the academy, which ironically strengthened the cohesion of the institution.

Expanding outwards at this time is absolutely opportune, and the resistance will be minimal.

Yun Ming glanced at him. "Monster Academy's idea is that we can send strong individuals there to help train their students, while we provide certain cultivation resources. The Star Luo Royal Family agrees that as long as Monster Academy increases its output of geniuses, all geniuses produced on the Star Luo Continent can be sent to the academy in the future. This way, it's mutually beneficial."

Yali said softly, "Today's meeting is to ask you who is willing to go to the Star Luo Continent to guard it."

silence.

No one replied.

The elders looked at each other, their expressions varied.

Leaving Shrek City for a strange continent thousands of miles away is undoubtedly a voluntary departure from the core of the academy's power. If something unexpected happens during this time, you will be kept completely in the dark. By the time you realize what's happening, the academy will have already changed.

Ultimately, opening a branch of the academy and helping out at Monster Academy are different things.

“I am willing to go,” Zhuo Shi and Zhao Chunlan said in turn.

“Chunlan counts.” Yun Ming’s gaze deepened as he asked the others, “What are your thoughts?”

The elders who were caught in his gaze were immediately startled. One of them forced himself to say, "Sect Master, could you give us some time to consider this?"

"Okay." Yun Ming nodded, sighing inwardly.

These elders, whom he had cleaned up, were absolutely loyal to the academy. He was even certain that if the academy were to face a life-or-death situation, they would still be willing to step forward.

However, everyone's family is tied to the interests of the academy, which indirectly leads to people's rigid perspectives, fearing that if they leave the academy, their status will be taken over by others.

Only when someone achieves results and is then heavily rewarded can the current situation be changed.

...

The three-day enrollment process has finally come to an end.

On the night the enrollment process ended, the official media of Chuanling Academy announced online that the opening ceremony would be held the following day, and invited media would be able to visit the auditorium.

This move immediately attracted the attention of countless people in the Douluo Continent.

To the surprise of many, top-tier institutions, led by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, collectively offered their sincere congratulations on the official opening of the Spirit Transmission Academy through official media.

Not a single top university showed even the slightest hostility; the entire academic community seemed to have entered a peaceful era.

This is completely different from the fierce clashes that took place when Shrek Academy's outer courtyard was still there.

...

In the far north, in a gloomy underground cave.

"Oh? You mean Yun Ming intends to cooperate with the Monster Academy of Star Luo Continent, and is even planning to transfer some of its higher-ups there?"

The Demon Emperor Ax asked the Dark Blood Demon with great interest.

“Yes,” the Dark Blood Demon sneered, “I believe this is an opportunity.”

"Tell me what you think," said the Ghost Emperor.

The Dark Blood Demon chuckled sinisterly, "It's not easy to detonate a God-Slaying Cannonball without attracting Yun Ming's attention. Anyway, it's still a long way off before the cannonball is stolen. We can have Cai Yue'er take the initiative to join the Monster Academy. That way, we can secretly conduct experiments based on the data provided by Qian Gu Dong Feng to prepare for our subsequent plans. Furthermore, we can use Cai Yue'er to insert our own people into positions at the Monster Academy."

"It just so happens that the sect has recently developed a special curse mark that can be used on metals. If someone accidentally uses this kind of spirit-forged or soul-forged metal to make battle armor, their martial soul's origin will be secretly eroded. Although it is difficult to corrupt it into an evil martial soul, it is no problem to cause it to mutate malignantly. If we infiltrate the blacksmiths and happen to find that a genius student from Monster Academy is using this kind of metal to make battle armor, what will the result be?"

The Ghost Emperor's eyes lit up.

Monster Academy is the cradle of powerful figures on the Star Luo Continent. Although the Holy Church has the full capability to launch a surprise attack and destroy it, the Spirit Pagoda and the Tang Sect exist separately, and forcibly taking action would be reckless. However, if this method is used, it would be perfect.

Young geniuses are the root of any power; if that root is uprooted, the power is truly finished.

Seeing that the Ghost Emperor was interested, the Dark Blood Demon laughed and said, "It just so happens that there is a blacksmith named Ning Fengzhi on Green Skull's side that we can use. If you are interested, I will recommend him."

“Alright,” the Ghost Emperor said decisively, “we will do as you say.”

“I will inform the Green Skull immediately,” the Dark Blood Demon said respectfully.
