Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 147 Gu Yue presents another silver dragon scale, as if Leng Yulai had gone mad.
"To create a new realm of gods?"

The girl's expression had not yet recovered from shock.

“Yes.” Nan Liujing glanced into the shadows and said solemnly, “Siduo, do you believe me?”

Wu Siduo smiled sweetly and said firmly, "I believe you."

"Why?" Nan Liujing asked with a smile.

With her hands behind her back, Wu Siduo raised her hand to look at the sky. Moonlight poured down on her beautiful, cold face, which was as smooth as ice and jade, giving off a cool and radiant glow. She smiled and said.

"Perhaps it's a woman's intuition. I would scoff at anyone else saying this, but not you, Liujing. I will always trust you."

Nan Liujing looked at her profile and smiled.

"Let's go, we'll go to the main hall. I might dance with Gu Yue later, don't be jealous."

"would not!"

On the dance floor, there are quite a few men and women dancing together.

In a corner of the hall, the Consul General of the Star Luo Continent was talking with Secretary General Pan Wen. What they discussed was unknown, but judging from the smiles on their faces, the conversation went very smoothly.

The various factions also had a pleasant conversation, and the dinner helped to strengthen their relationships.

Those who were invited were all elites from various industries, and they could help each other out.

"teacher."

Nan Liujing led Wu Siduo to find Leng Yaozhu, who was still enjoying wine alone.

Gu Yue stood beside her, and upon seeing Nan Liujing, she greeted him warmly as always, "Senior Brother." Upon seeing Wu Siduo, she nodded calmly as a greeting.

Nan Liujing smiled and said, "I was busy chatting with friends. How was it? Did you have fun?"

“Just now, Qian Gu Zhang Ting ran over to try and invite Yue’er to dance with him,” Leng Yao Zhu suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Nan Liujing's eyes instantly flashed with an astonishing coldness.

"I refuse." Gu Yue's eyes were bright and gentle as she said, "Senior brother, would you like to accompany me to the dance floor for a dance?"

Nan Liujing gazed at her, his heart stirred with emotion.

Gu Yue's eyes had never been so tender, as if honey had melted inside them.

“It’s my pleasure!” Nan Liujing extended his hand in a gentlemanly gesture of invitation.

Gu Yue smiled happily and clasped his fair hand in hers.

Gu Yue's dance with Leng Yaozhu had already attracted countless eyes, and seeing her about to enter the dance floor again, many people in the hall turned to look.

But this time, everyone was taken aback.

Her dance partner was a man!

"Is it done yet?" Leng Yaozhu suddenly looked at Wu Siduo.

Wu Siduo was taken aback at first, then calmly replied, "I don't quite understand what Aunt Leng is saying."

Leng Yaozhu smiled, her red lips curving upwards: "Let's talk, but don't rush into that step, understand?"

Wu Siduo's eyes widened instantly, her pretty face flushed red, and she said weakly, "Siduo knows."

At that time, on the dance floor, Gu Yue and Nan Liujing became the center of the world.

The music was very gentle, and the two dancers' movements were not exaggerated; instead, they were gentle and flowing like a stream.

Nan Liujing's fame needs no introduction; he is recognized as the number one person under twenty in mainland China. Gu Yue was relatively unknown, but her beautiful and refined appearance outshone everyone present. Her originally serene temperament now revealed a touch of girlish tenderness, and no one needed to guess to know that the two had a close relationship.

Click!

On the other side of the hall, Qian Gu Zhangting's wine cup shattered into fine dust. He stared at the two dancing in the center of the dance floor, and a surge of jealousy instantly ignited within him, causing his rather handsome face to suddenly contort into a ferocious expression.

Qian Gu Dongfeng saw everything but said nothing. His narrowed eyes were fixed on Nan Liujing, a hidden murderous intent lurking within.

"Is he Nan Liujing? The number one person under twenty years old in your Douluo Continent?" The counselor of the Star Luo Empire, the silver-haired old man, suddenly spoke up.

Pan Wen was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the dance floor. After seeing it clearly, he smiled and said, "Yes."

"Secretary Pan, I have a favor to ask," the silver-haired old man said.

“Speak freely,” Pan Wen said.

The silver-haired elder said in a deep voice, "In two years, the Empire will once again hold the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament. If permitted, could you please invite Nan Liujing to participate?"

“This…” Pan Wen looked troubled. “Nan Liujing is a personal disciple of the Heavenly Phoenix of the Spirit Pagoda. The Star Luo Continent is nearly ten thousand miles away from the Douluo Continent. Given such a long distance, I dare not make any promises about safety.”

The silver-haired old man thought for a moment and said, "Then could you ask him for me?"

Pan Wen pondered for a moment, then said, "That's acceptable."

"Thank you," the silver-haired old man said with a smile, his gaze gradually deepening.

If we could get the number one young talent of Douluo Continent to participate in the competition in the Empire, and then have Long Yue defeat him, it would be a cause for national celebration for the entire Empire, and it would boost the collective sense of honor of the Empire's citizens to the max.

As the song ended, amidst enthusiastic applause from the audience, Nan Liujing and Gu Yue politely returned the greeting and then stepped off the dance floor.

Nan Liujing glanced at Wu Siduo to make sure she wasn't jealous, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Even with his thick skin, he still felt a little guilty dancing intimately with other women in front of his girlfriend. He needed a few more girlfriends before he would feel at ease.

The banquet was drawing to a close.

Finally, Pan Wen delivered his final speech, wishing for the enduring friendship between the two continents, and then it all came to an end.

The next day.

Nan Liujing was performing Soul Forging in the forging room. Just as he put down the hammer, the notification device that had been blocking the doorbell lit up.

After he opened it, Gu Yue stood gracefully in the doorway.

"Senior brother," Gu Yue's voice was melodious.

"What's wrong?" Nan Liujing stepped aside to let the other person in.

When he closed the door and looked at Gu Yue again, he was stunned.

She held a scale that emitted a faint silver glow and presented it to herself.

Gu Yue said, "When you saved Na'er, a powerful member of her family gave you a life-saving item. You used it at the War God Training Camp last time. I was worried that you might encounter danger again in the future, so I specially asked my family for another one."

Nan Liujing glanced at the silver dragon scales without showing any emotion and politely declined, saying, "I was saved by it, but because of that, I am very clear about its importance. If you give it to me, you must be under a lot of pressure from your family. I can't accept it."

“If it were anyone else, the elders of the clan would naturally not agree to me giving away this life-saving item, but it’s different for you.” Gu Yue smiled and said, “Just accept it. Do you think you can accept Na’er’s things but not mine?”

Gu Yue pursed her lips and stared intently at him, looking like she wouldn't leave until he accepted her.

Nan Liujing smiled helplessly and had no choice but to accept it and put it into his storage ring.

"Then I'll be going now." Gu Yue smiled and walked out of the forging room, immediately reverting to her usual aloofness.

"Very good, everything is progressing steadily."

Nan Liujing exhaled, shook his head, and smiled.

……

Time flies, and the first year of study for first-year students at the Spirit Transmission Academy is coming to an end.

Life is like a calm stream, without much ripple, yet so peaceful that it's captivating.

Principal's office.

"Imitating Shrek Academy?" Nan Liujing looked at Leng Yaozhu with great surprise.

"Although Shrek Academy didn't do a good job, we have to learn from its methods. Students can't just stay behind closed doors on campus and work on their own. It's very necessary for them to go out and practice in real combat."

Leng Yaozhu chuckled softly. Her delicate, high-bridged nose was framed by a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, which made her look less feminine and more intellectual.

Nan Liujing pondered for a moment and said, "There are still a few days left until the end of the first academic year. Teacher, you did not notify the major soul master academies in advance. If it is too sudden, I am worried that it will be difficult to make arrangements."

Leng Yaozhu said, "I have already sent someone to contact the deans of the various colleges, and I should get a reply soon."

"So what is my mission?" Nan Liujing asked curiously.

Leng Yaozhu said, "You will be responsible for arranging the subsequent reward system. At the same time, as the chief examiner of this final exam, you will supervise the entire process."

"It's pretty easy," Nan Liujing said knowingly. "Teacher Zhenhua just asked me to go to his place to check my recent proficiency in Soul Forging at the Fusion Forging level. Okay, I'll take it."

After finishing their business, Leng Yaozhu changed the subject: "Have you been under a lot of pressure lately?"

"What kind of pressure?" Nan Liujing was taken aback.

Leng Yaozhu teased, "With several girls surrounding you, all wanting to devour you, how can you not feel pressured? So, how's the progress?"

Nan Liujing understood immediately, her face remaining calm and her heart beating normally: "Everything is fine."

Leng Yaozhu smiled and said, "Be good, but remember to treat every girl who has you in her heart well."

"Oh, right." She suddenly remembered something and said solemnly, "Yali called me to discuss when to go to Devil's Island." Nan Liujing belatedly realized, "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten about this agreement. Shall I go to the inner courtyard now?"

"Together." Leng Yaozhu attached great importance to the special soul bone that her beloved disciple was fusing with.

Immediately, the master and apprentice went to find Yunming and Yali.

The Sea God Pavilion was very quiet. Coincidentally, Na'er was also there. She winked mischievously at Nan Liujing.

Over the course of the year, thanks to her consistent output, the relationship between the girls was quite harmonious.

He was definitely a super contributor.

“Liu Jing is not a member of Shrek Academy, and I will not hold him to the standards of a student,” Yun Ming explained carefully. “Therefore, I plan to escort him and Na’er directly to Devil Island for training.”

"Na'er is going too?" Nan Liujing frowned.

"Brother, I'm very strong," Na'er said, pouting.

Yali said gently, "Devil Island may seem dangerous, but it is actually quite safe. It's just a training exercise. All the high-ranking members of Shrek Academy in their youth have been there. You can rest assured."

Leng Yaozhu replied, "Then we'll set off after my final exams at the Spirit Transmission Academy."

It's true that Devil's Island is safe inside; after all these years, not a single Shrek has died on the island.

Of course, the main reason Leng Yaozhu readily agreed was that Na'er would go with her.

“Okay.” Yunming and Yali nodded in unison.

After the discussion ended, Luo Hongshao, the Dean of Students, quickly received replies from the deans of various colleges.

They warmly welcomed the Spirit Transmission Academy's desire to send students for a challenge and sparring session.

After all, the Spirit Transmission Academy had promised many benefits, and no one would let go of this opportunity that was almost cost-free and purely profitable.

Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, Class 4.

The homeroom teachers of the four classes quickly announced the requirements for the final exams.

When the students heard that they were going to compete with other academies, they became incredibly excited, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

As everyone knows, the college really knows how to give out good stuff. If you get good grades in this final exam, you might just make a fortune.

Several days later, the students gathered in the Soul Arena, creating a lively atmosphere.

Leng Yaozhu personally stepped forward, said some encouraging words beforehand to get the trainees excited, and then announced the start of the assessment on the spot.

In an instant, six hundred students, according to the pre-arranged plan, headed to the Shrek City Soul Guidance Station and dispersed to all corners of the country.

Just like the original final exams set by Shrek Academy, the time limit is also fifteen days.

The difference is that the Spirit Transmission Academy will not confiscate any of the students' belongings to avoid the situation where students lack money and have to resort to robbery to raise travel expenses. At the same time, students will not be required to travel to fifteen cities to defeat fifteen opponents whose cultivation level is five levels higher than their own. During the exam, each student will be assigned a different number of opponents, three, two, or one, based on their cultivation level from highest to lowest.

Since the challenge location was planned in advance, it also prevented the students from having a rabies attack and randomly beating up passing Soul Masters.

……

Rewinding to the evening of the day the Spirit Transmission Academy announced the examination process.

The Heavenly Spirit Pagoda, the Pagoda Master's Office.

"Is Leng Yaozhu planning to emulate Shrek Academy by implementing an assessment system where students go out to compete?"

The curtains were drawn, and there was no light, making the large living room feel gloomy. Qian Gu Dongfeng sat upright in his chair, his eyes dim and unfathomable, even somewhat agitated.
"What did Nan Liujing say? Will he come along?"

A voice came from the other end of the communicator: "This subordinate doesn't know. But given Nan Liujing's strength, he has absolutely no need to get involved."

Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Dongfeng's brows furrowed suddenly.

For a year, he had not found an opportunity to assassinate Nan Liujing. Just when an opportunity appeared, it might all be for naught.

Qian Gu Dongfeng took a deep breath, his expression uncertain, and said, "Keep an eye on him. If Nan Liujing leaves the Chuanling Academy, report to me immediately. Remember, you only need to find out whether he has left or not. Don't worry about anything else. Absolutely do not alert him."

"Yes, sir," came the reply from the other end of the communicator.

The call ended, and Qian Gu Dongfeng went straight to the window, drew back the curtains, and saw a gloomy sky outside, with thick clouds piled up, as somber as his face.

"If this kid really leaves Shrek City, who should I ask for help?"

Hiss.

Suddenly, lightning flashed in the clouds.

Qian Gu Dongfeng suddenly woke up, his slightly small eyes revealing a hint of excitement, "Leng Yulai, I almost forgot about you."

“If Nan Liujing is killed, Leng Yaozhu and my elder brother will most likely suspect me first. But if it is you, Leng Yulai, who kills him, then I can perfectly escape suspicion. After all, everyone knows that you, Leng Yulai, hate your sister to the extreme. So it is normal for you to forcibly kill your sister's most beloved disciple, right?”

Thinking of this, Qian Gu Dong Feng quickly dialed a special number.

After a moment, a deep voice rang out: "What is it?"

"Ghost Emperor," Qian Gu Dong Feng said in a deep voice, "Do me a favor."

"Heh." Ghost Emperor Axe sneered, "I'm in a good mood today, so tell me what you think."

Qian Gu Dongfeng said sinisterly, "Help me pass on a message to Dark Phoenix Douluo Leng Yulai: her sister's disciple may be leaving Shrek City on business. This is a good opportunity for revenge."

"Oh~" the Ghost Emperor suddenly realized, "You want to use someone else to do your dirty work."

The eternal east wind remains silent.

"It seems this boy's talent has made you wary, and you can't wait to get rid of him." The Ghost Emperor said indifferently, "Very well, let's cooperate. He is a thorn in your side, and naturally he is mine as well. I will pass on the message to Leng Yulai."

"Thank you," said Qian Gu Dong Feng.

drop--

Communication was lost.

at that time.

The far north.

The biting cold wind relentlessly swept through this ancient, forbidden land of humankind.

A group of figures stood atop the snow-capped mountain, unmoved by the wind, emanating a terrifying and sinister aura.

The Ghost Emperor's gaze, peering through his cloak, fell upon a tall, voluptuous, and mature woman not far away. Her appearance was alluring and stunning, her pale face possessing a captivating charm, and her eyes, like the waters of a stagnant pool, glowed with an eerie dark purple light.

"Dark Phoenix, did you hear that?"

All the powerful members of the Holy Spirit Cult turned to look.

stab.

Suddenly, a pair of dark purple phoenix wings, seemingly formed from hellfire, tore through the cloak, gently unfurled, and carried her into the air, disappearing in an instant into the vast white snow.

"Ghost Emperor, are you just letting Dark Phoenix do it alone?"

"Dark Bell, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, said crisply."

"Given An Feng's personality, if anyone else interferes with her revenge, do you believe she would dare to turn against her own people?" the Ghost Emperor said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, all the powerful figures fell silent.

boom……

Suddenly, a violent tremor erupted from the snow-capped mountain beneath their feet, triggering a terrifying avalanche like a tsunami.

The high-ranking members of the Holy Spirit Cult, led by the Ghost Emperor, collectively peered out at the even larger snow-capped mountain in the distance.

An eerie light poured down from the shattered sky, illuminating this forbidden zone. A detached eye peered into this ancient continent. Despite the vast distance between them, even just a glance was enough to send chills down the spine of the Ghost Emperor, a quasi-god level expert. In that instant, he felt like an ant, easily annihilated by the other party.

As malevolent forces from outside this plane surged forth, the focused gazes of the crowd could see the vast power of laws continuously gathering in the sky, attempting to expel and obliterate the intruders.

That snow-capped mountain is now the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult, and the person hidden within is none other than the Supreme Leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, the Demon Emperor.

As for the identity of the master of this eye...

It is none other than the Lord of the Abyss Plane, the Holy Lord of the Abyss!
"What a wonderful power!"

The Ghost Emperor trembled, his expression so excited it was almost distorted, like a madman.

The power to regard even a near-god as an ant must be that of a deity.

He followed the Demon Emperor's words and joined the Holy Spirit Cult, and has been there for a hundred years, all for the sake of one day ascending to godhood.

Not only the Ghost Emperor, but also the Dark Bell, Dark Blood Demon, Dark Hummingbird, and many other titled Douluo powerhouses of the Holy Spirit Cult, all began to breathe rapidly.

Forcibly opening the dialogue channel obviously consumed a great deal of energy, and in less than ten seconds, the shattered sky automatically returned to its original state.

Upon seeing this, the Ghost Emperor flashed away and said, "Let's go and meet the Supreme Master."

Immediately, a group of powerful members of the Holy Spirit Cult followed suit.
