Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 133 Apology, The Silver Dragon King's Request

"His Majesty……"

Wang Xian'er bent down to check Cheng Gang's condition, shook her head helplessly, and looked at Xu Jiawei with a questioning expression.

"His bones were shattered, his meridians were severely damaged, and even his heart was blasted into blood foam. Although he appeared unharmed, he had actually been walking for a while."

Although with her strength and vision, it's not entirely hopeless. For example, she could try to find another fresh heart of a Soul Douluo at the peak level or above, along with dozens of spiritual herbs.

But given the current situation, it would be better if this guy were dead.

If it costs a lot of money to save them, it will only cause trouble.

"I understand, thank you for your hard work."

Emperor Xingluo took a deep breath, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes, but he suppressed it.

Few on the entire continent would dare to disobey Xuanzi, especially since he was backed by Shrek Academy, one of the continent's top powers. Judging from the attitude of those present, they were clearly not friendly...

The top powers on the entire continent rarely clash.

Especially those stronger than Super Douluo rarely take action in peacetime. After all, the only time such top-level experts can be forced to use their power is during a full-scale war on the continent or a racial war. Those who can be recorded are extremely rare. This also leads to differences in the understanding of combat strength among those above Title Douluo.

The stronger a person is, the less likely they are to take action. However, he can clearly sense his own strength and the gap between himself and ordinary Title Douluo, and he is even more afraid of the terror of Limit Douluo.

But Xu Jiawei... to be honest, this was the first time he had ever experienced the oppressive feeling of a top-tier Douluo powerhouse. Even the Hall Master of the Offering Hall was only at level 97, but even a difference of one level was as terrifying as a chasm.

With a smile, Su Wen leaped from the top of the hotel and landed steadily beside Xuan Zi.

I'm waiting for someone, what are you waiting for?
"Ha ha……"

Xu Jiawei's smile was bitter.

My back, which was straight just a moment ago, bent over in an instant.

"Regarding Cheng Gang's matter, the fault truly lies with Xingluo. Since the deed has already been done and cannot be undone, I wish to bow deeply to everyone and express Xingluo Empire's apology for this matter..."

The fact that a monarch is willing to bow down, especially in front of everyone, demonstrates Xu Jiawei's courage.

"Tch, you think an apology is all it takes to make this matter go away?" Xuanzi scoffed.

"Don't even mention you, I'd still pick up your grandfather and beat him up. Your Xu family has no face in my eyes."

"I……"

Xu Jiawei's face twitched slightly.

This guy just happens to have a reckless personality, no wonder Shrek Academy sent him here. However... with his shrewd eyes, he could also see a clue about the relationship between Xuanzi and Su Wen. Of the two, although Xuanzi is stronger and older, the real mastermind seems to be this young man!

He seemed to have greatly underestimated the identity of the Sea God Pavilion's successor from a previous generation, and the young man's status within Shrek Academy...

He then said sincerely, "Of course, it's not just an apology. My Star Luo has also prepared a generous gift for Shrek Academy. Please be sure to attend the upcoming Royal Auction."

"..."

Xuanzi subconsciously looked at Su Wen.

Xu Jiawei's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "Just as I thought!"

This young man even seemed to be subtly taking over Xuanzi's position! He was the true core of the entire Shrek Academy team, without exception!

It seems that all his previous speculations about Su Wen will have to be overturned and reconsidered.

The fact that he is the successor of the Sea God Pavilion is not enough to understand the boy's status at Shrek Academy, after all, Xuanzi is the successor of the Sea God Pavilion...

With their formidable and decisive combat prowess, coupled with Su Wen's obviously shrewd and experienced command style, this "duo" from Shrek Academy is going to be a tough opponent.

“Alright, I accept Your Majesty’s apology.” Su Wen smiled.

"Just give me one item for free at the upcoming auction."

“…” Xu Jiawei was stunned for a moment.

This is different from his "apology." His "apology" was a hidden gift. To put it bluntly, he had complete control over the operation area, and Shrek Academy had no right to choose.

But Su Wen said the opposite.

The grand finale item at the upcoming royal auction is the treasure he used to lure Mingde Hall. If he gives it to Shrek Academy... well, let's just consider it a favor to Shrek. Besides, before that, he might use up the opportunity to get close to the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone.

The electrocardiogram showed a rapid change.

Xu Jiawei gave a polite smile.

"Brother Su Wen, it's a deal!"

"It's a word."

Both of them smiled.

Su Wen and Xuan Zi leisurely departed, leaving behind a mess for the Star Luo Empire to clean up. The prestige of Shrek Academy left an even deeper mark on the participating teams.

Top floor lounge.

"What? Such a thing actually happened!" Ma Xiaotao, with her fiery temper, instantly flew into a rage. If Ling Luochen hadn't held her back, she probably would have gone to the Cheng family to wipe them out.

“That beast and Cheng Gang are both dead, there’s no need to desecrate their corpses.” Su Wen sipped his juice and said leisurely. “As for the entire Cheng family, without Cheng Gang’s protection, they have too many enemies they’ve made in the past, they won’t be able to escape the Star Luo Imperial Capital.”

"You didn't even say anything!" Ma Xiaotao complained.

"Sister Xiaotao, in your current state, let alone avenge me, I'm afraid that if you're not careful, you'll get caught by the other side again, which would be embarrassing..." Su Wen said helplessly.

"How dare you look down on your Sister Xiaotao!" Ma Xiaotao was embarrassed and angry. She pinched Su Wen's ear, but it turned red after a while. She then carefully breathed on it and rubbed it.

Su Wen: "..."

Regardless, he made a profit.

If the final act of the auction is Xue Di, he will save more than 100 million gold soul coins, and there is a certain chance that he will avoid a surprise attack from the Body Sect. The Star Luo Empire is very dependent on Shrek Academy. Unless he is willing to join the Sun Moon Empire, he will not provoke Shrek.

If it weren't for Xue Di, then the one who could be the grand finale certainly wouldn't be cheap, unless Xu Jiawei was being greedy and treating Shrek Academy like fools...

"I'm going to the restaurant," Xuanzi said, clicking his tongue.

"Drink less alcohol," Su Wen advised.

“…Hmm.” Xuanzi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"By the way, Xiao Wen, do you have any gold soul coins?" Xuan Zi suddenly remembered something as he was leaving, scratching his head sheepishly. "Before I left, Elder Mu took all the gold soul coins from me, saying that if I needed any more, I should ask you for some."

"Swipe it as you like." Su Wen paused for a moment, then tossed Xuanzi a black gold card and said casually.

"Benevolence and righteousness!" Xuanzi grinned and gave a thumbs up.

His figure disappeared into the hall.

"Elder Xuan has changed so much..." Ling Luochen sighed softly.

“Yes, but Elder Mu is really serious.” Ma Xiaotao agreed. “Being able to kidnap the deputy head of the Sea God Pavilion’s inspection team must have made him quite angry.”

Xuanzi is the strongest person in Shrek Academy on the surface.

The loss to the entire academy after the latter's departure was unimaginable, so they only secretly complained a few words and did not really expect to do anything to Elder Xuan. However, they did not expect Elder Mu to be so tough and dismiss him completely. Moreover, it is true that Elder Xuan is unreliable, but his loyalty to the academy is also true.

Otherwise, if it were another country offering tribute, they would probably have left long ago. As one of the strongest powers on the continent (on the surface), there is no shortage of top forces vying to recruit him.

Of course, they also underestimated Elder Mu's status and prestige among the elders.

Xuanzi was raised under the watchful eye of Elder Mu, not to mention the other elders. Their respect for him was not something that developed overnight, but rather came from the heart and was ingrained in their bones. In fact, Shrek Academy's succession model has always been very healthy. If Mu En had not been injured, he would now be a level 99 peak combatant, with enough time to find and cultivate the next generation of successors (surpassing Xuanzi).

But alas, life is unpredictable...

A life-or-death battle between Limit Douluo, an event with a probability even lower than a meteorite falling from the sky, actually happened.

"..."

Stay alone.

The door was pushed open.

A graceful silver figure arrived and sat beside Su Wen's bed. Her silver pupils quietly stared at Su Wen, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed cultivating. Su Wen naturally sensed something and slowly gathered his golden soul power into a golden core. The light dissipated, and the golden core disappeared into his body.

"Gu Yuena?" Su Wen asked in surprise.

"I want to know, can humans and soul beasts coexist?" A hint of confusion appeared in the girl's eyes.

"Since you know my identity, I won't hide it from you. My purpose in coming to the human world is to save the soul beasts and allow the two races to coexist. However, my experiences in the human world have shattered my hopes..."

"In fact, as the Silver Dragon King, I can vaguely sense a guiding force from destiny, the answer to my goal, everything points to you. It seems that you are the one who can resolve the conflict."

"Can you... do it?"

Looking at Gu Yuena so close to him, Su Wen fell silent, a rare occurrence.

In fact, the best ending for this matter in the original work would be for humans to find the seventh planet and then settle the soul beasts on the Elf Star. This seems like a good choice, but given the current level of development of soul guide technology, it would be at least tens of thousands of years from now.

This problem is truly unsolvable.

Humans need to hunt soul beasts to advance and improve their strength. Although this is the only major difficulty, it is enough to give people a huge headache. Of course, things like the laws of creation can't be easily changed.

In the original work, Huo Gua's Spirit Pagoda did not directly modify the underlying code, but rather exploited a loophole that allowed it to attach itself to humans in the form of a soul. However, this was only a temporary solution.

First, the contract signed by the soul has a major problem. This unequal treaty means that it can only follow the perspective of the human it is attached to for its entire life, which is equivalent to imprisonment.

Secondly, someone discovered that souls could devour each other to increase their own strength, and thus, an even more brutal infighting began in the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Huo Gua's idea was good, but unfortunately he wasn't there. The Spirit Pagoda went astray step by step, eventually leading the soul beasts into an abyss.

But what would he do if it were him?

"Poké Ball!"

Su Wen softly uttered three words.

"What?" Gu Yuena asked blankly.

"It seems like I have a solution." A glint of light flashed in Su Wen's eyes.

But he soon fell into deep thought again.

Poké Balls are a link to improve the relationship between Pokémon and humans, but if not handled properly, they could very well follow the same path as Pokémon, since the two are quite similar in that they both involve Pokémon "parasitizing" humans.

However, Poké Balls don't have to give up their physical bodies and aren't constantly controlled by humans, so they should be slightly better than spirits.

As for Poké Balls... things like contract circles.

Su Wen grinned.

"Yilao!"
