Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 215 Gu Yue arrives, conflict begins, 100,000-year-old soul bone!
"Wow! So many people!"

Under the cover of night, gazing at the dazzling neon lights and the rushing crowds in Shrek City, Xu Xiaoyan, dressed in a pale yellow dress, parted her pink lips slightly. Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, who had just gotten off the train beside her, also showed a hint of shock in their eyes.

"So this is the safest city on the entire continent? It truly lives up to its reputation!" Tang Wulin murmured to himself, looking at the towering skyscrapers and patrolling self-defense forces.

Gu Yue, standing to one side, was dressed in a long black and white robe. Her pretty face had a slightly aloof air, and her calm black eyes were like a pool of clear water.

They came from the East China Sea and were heading to Shrek City to participate in the freshman assessment.

"Na'er, are you ready to welcome me...?"

As if sensing something, Gu Yue's red lips slightly parted, a glint of light flashed in her dark eyes, and her beautiful body straightened slightly.

Now that the three-year agreement has been fulfilled, she has arrived in Shrek City as promised.

As Gu Yue looked up, the most magnificent Spirit Pagoda in Shrek City came into view first, which was also her main purpose for coming to Shrek City.

She will climb step by step to the top of the Spirit Pagoda, and then use the Spirit Pagoda to complete her great cause of reviving her soul beasts!
"I wonder how difficult the Shrek Academy assessment will be this time. I hope we won't be eliminated." Xu Xiaoyan said softly, a hint of unease and nervousness appearing in her clear eyes.

"Don't worry, we're unbeatable in the East China Sea! There aren't many as strong as us," Xie Xie said proudly, arms crossed.

Tang Wulin's eyes lit up, and he bought a steamed bun from the side. While eating, he said, "We just need to take the test seriously!"

Although he had lost the essence of the Golden Dragon King, his appetite did not diminish as he continued to cultivate forging skills and forge metals.

"Is this the taste of Shrek City? It's really authentic!" Tang Wulin took a bite of the steamed bun and secretly enjoyed it. Even a country kid like him is eating city food now.

In his heart, he longed for Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent. From Wu Changkong's casual praise, he could understand how wonderful the academy was.

Moreover, he had already joined the Tang Sect, and the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy had very close ties; many Tang Sect disciples had studied at Shrek Academy.

Once a member of the Tang Clan, always a member of the Tang Clan; once a student of Shrek Academy, always a student of Shrek Academy. He often heard these two vows within the Tang Clan, and these disciples always spoke of them with pride.

"Gu Yue, what about you? Aren't you worried?" Xu Xiaoyan came to Gu Yue's side and asked, blinking her eyes.

Gu Yue's lips curled up slightly as she said in a clear voice, "It's just an assessment; I'll strive for a perfect score."

She remembered that Jiang Xiu had passed the assessment with a perfect score, so if Jiang Xiu could do it, so could she.

Furthermore, her purpose in coming to Shrek City this time is to reach the very top, and the higher her talent is displayed, the easier it will be for her to rise.

Therefore, her extraordinary wisdom told her that it was time to use her extraordinary power!

At that time, she would make Na'er understand that she could not protect anything, including her boss.

Besides, how difficult could a freshman assessment be? Could it possibly stump even half of the Silver Dragon King?
……

Shrek Academy.

Inside the ancient golden tree.

A graceful woman in a long emerald green dress sat at the table, her bright eyes sparkling, radiating a reassuring aura of life.

"Ya Li, these are the two 100,000-year-old soul bones that I promised to give to Jiang Xiu." At this moment, Yun Ming sat down next to Ya Li and took out two exquisite jade boxes, placing them on the table.

“We’ve owed him for two years, it’s time to pay him now,” Yali said softly, her beautiful eyes slightly moving.

Yun Ming shook his head slightly and said, "Originally, according to Sister Yue's idea, we were going to wait until Jiang Xiu finished his exchange at Shrek Academy before giving him these two soul bones. If it weren't for your request, we wouldn't have given them to him so soon."

After Ya Li returned from the mainland, she wanted to give Jiang Xiu the soul bone she had promised three years ago. After some consideration, he convened the Shrek Academy meeting again and took out the two soul bones from the treasury.

Upon hearing this, Yali sighed softly to herself.

Although Long Yeyue gave such an order when the Shrek Academy meeting was first convened, the current head of the Sea God Pavilion is her husband, Yun Ming.

Clearly, after confirming that Jiang Xiu would not join Shrek Academy, Yun Ming secretly agreed with Long Yeyue's suggestion.

After slightly shaking her head, Ya Li stretched out her delicate hand and slowly opened the two jade boxes. The moment the jade boxes were opened, a dense aura of darkness and a violent aura of destruction burst out and spread throughout the room.

Inside the jade box lay two soul bones, one black and cold like a piece of black jade, with dark gold dragon patterns on it, clearly originating from a 100,000-year-old true dragon bloodline soul beast.

The other piece is a noble purplish-gold color, bright throughout and faintly permeated with a purple hue. It seems to be engraved with ancient and violent lightning patterns, and its interior is brewing a terrifying sense of destruction.

"Is this the left leg bone of that mutated thunder beast?" Ya Li asked with some surprise after seeing the purple-gold soul bone.

Thunder Beasts were extremely rare even ten thousand years ago, because they were born from storms and possessed the attribute of lightning. Therefore, in terms of combat power among soul beasts of the same age, Thunder Beasts were at the very top of the entire soul beast world.

The thunder beast that produced this soul bone also developed terrifying destructive attributes. With the enhancement of these two terrifying attributes, the thunder beast's strength was naturally extremely formidable. Ultimately, it was killed by one of the Sea God Pavilion's former pavilion masters. Ya Li was surprised that the elders of the Sea God Pavilion were willing to give Jiang Xiu such a high-quality soul bone, instead of the soul bone that had been sealed away for so long.

Seemingly noticing Ya Li's confusion, Yun Ming chuckled and said, "That long-sealed Destruction attribute soul bone was secretly obtained from the Sun and Moon Royal Family ten thousand years ago. It is quite mysterious. Although we haven't figured out what kind of soul beast it came from yet, its value is definitely no less than this Thunder Beast Soul Bone."

Yali nodded thoughtfully, then put the jade box away.

"It's time to ask Jiang Xiu about how to control the power of faith..." Ya Li murmured to herself.

The reason she hadn't visited Jiang Xiu in the past two years was to allow him to study quietly at Shrek Academy for a period of time, hoping to help him overcome his dislike for the academy.

After all, she had been treated unfairly and made things difficult by Cai Yue'er when she enrolled in Shrek Academy. If she had gone to find Jiang Xiu back then, she might not only have failed to obtain the method to control the power of faith, but would also have likely increased Jiang Xiu's hatred for Shrek Academy.

Now that she has these two 100,000-year-old soul bones and two years of erosion, she should be able to discuss with Jiang Xiu the methods for controlling the power of faith.

"Ya Li, you've been saving lives on the mainland for the past two years, just like back then. I'm so proud of you." Yun Ming said with a touch of emotion as he looked at Ya Li beside him.

Ya Li smiled without saying a word. Since entering Shrek Academy, she had rarely traveled the continent. In the past two years, she had gradually rediscovered her original aspirations.

Yun Ming's eyes flickered, then he asked softly, "When saving lives, the power of faith within the Prayer Angel Martial Soul must have greatly increased, right?"

"During this period, my nascent demigod status has been somewhat unstable. I wanted to try cultivating using the power of faith, but I wonder what will happen tonight..."

"Brother Ming, I just returned from the mainland and I'm still a bit tired. How about we postpone it for another day?" Ya Li gently declined upon hearing this.

Using the accumulated power of faith now would be a crude waste. Only when she obtains the method to control the power of faith from Jiang Xiu will she be able to use it more accurately.

Yun Ming's expression froze for a moment, then he regained his composure and said with a smile, "This time it was my oversight. Ya Li, you should rest first."

"Okay." Ya Li nodded slightly, then seemed to remember something, "Tomorrow is the Shrek Academy freshman assessment, right? I wonder how the arrangements are going this time?"

"Everything is as it was before. After nearly three years of confinement, Yue'er is no longer so impulsive in her actions." Yun Ming paused, replying with some relief.

"Yue'er..." Ya Li murmured involuntarily upon hearing this. She remembered that Cai Yue'er's battle armor was called Silver Moon Darkness...

At the same time, Yali had a bad feeling, "Should we let her proctor the exam again this time?"

"Don't worry, what happened last time was just an accident, and Yue'er has served as the chief examiner before," Yun Ming said firmly. "Besides, we can't let her stay idle in the Sea God Pavilion forever."

"Hmm." Yali nodded slightly, and said nothing more.

Yun Ming strolled out of the room, a strange glint in his eyes.

Condensing a divine position is difficult; it requires the power of faith…

……

Ontology.

When Jiang Xiu returned to the Body Sect after bidding farewell to the Underworld Emperor, night had already fallen completely.

As Jiang Xiu walked toward the main hall, he heard a sound coming from Na'er's room. Because Na'er often came to see Jiang Xiu, there was always a room for Na'er in the Body Sect.

Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Xiu quietly walked towards Na'er's room, but the door to Na'er's room was not closed.

Na'er stood with her hands on her hips in front of the First Soul Space Spirit Dragon and the Second Soul Space Void Illusion Dragon, her pretty face solemn, talking incessantly.

It was like a large-scale meeting.

"That woman is coming. I can feel it. We must prepare for a level 18 alert!"

"This is not a drill! I repeat, this is not a drill!"

"She is cunning, so we must have a firm enough belief and never give up."

Na'er spoke clearly and deliberately, and the two little dragons opposite her listened very attentively, occasionally taking notes.

"Remember, if we succeed, I will not keep the glory to myself! If we fail, I will take full responsibility!"

As Na'er finished speaking, the two little dragons raised their miniature dragon claws and bowed to Na'er, uttering only two words in their spiritual power:

"loyalty!"
