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

Chapter 397 Gu Yue Descends to the Small World, Since You're Here, You Should Stay!

"Ahem, now that you're here, Jiang, then I'll trouble you, Elder Li, to take Jiang to Devil Island."

Yun Ming shook his head slightly, dispelling that inexplicable feeling, and then spoke to one of the elders.

"Yes, Master." Elder Li stood up and nodded.

He was the same senior student who was in charge of testing when Jiang Xiu enrolled.

"Come with me." Old Li glanced at Jiang Xiu with a hint of amazement. It was such a pity that such a genius wasn't a student of Shrek Academy.

“Alright.” Jiang Xiu had no objection and followed behind Elder Li, heading towards the outside of the Sea God Pavilion.

After Jiang Xiu and the others who had been bestowed the titles of Shrek Seven Devils left, Yun Ming said softly, "All of you elders, you may also depart."

"Yes!" The other elders all stood up and left the meeting hall.

"Brother Ming, I'm leaving too. They still need me in the southern part of the Federation." Ya Li's emerald eyes flashed, and after saying goodbye, she turned into a streak of emerald light and disappeared into the Sea God Pavilion.

After everyone left, Xu Lizhi respectfully entered the meeting hall, looked at Yun Ming with reverence, and asked, "Sect Master, I have a few questions I would like to ask you. I wonder if you could enlighten me..."

Yun Ming glanced at Xu Lizhi and then gestured, "Speak."

He had long sensed that Xu Lizhi had something on his mind.

"Master, how can I, a support-type Soul Master, gain combat power?" Xu Lizhi asked nervously and expectantly.

He didn't want to feel powerless in the face of danger anymore; he wanted to prove himself to Sister Xinglan!

"Possess combat power?" Yun Ming's eyes flashed, and he said softly, "Now, battle armor and mechs can enhance the combat power of support-type soul masters. If you want to become stronger, you can develop in these two directions."

Xu Lizhi paused for a moment upon hearing this. How could he not know this? It's just that he wanted to become stronger through his martial spirit, and didn't want to work hard to learn these things.

"Sect Master, what I want to ask is whether there is any way to become stronger through one's martial soul?"

Yun Ming frowned slightly, instantly understanding Xu Lizhi's meaning. He had intended to advise Xu Lizhi to work harder, but then he thought of Xu Lizhi's talent as a support-type Soul Master and the current situation of Shrek Academy being short of promising young talents.

After some thought, a glint of light flashed in Yun Ming's eyes, as if he had thought of something, and he slowly said:

"The method you're looking for does exist, but it demands immense perseverance. If successful, it could even grant your martial soul terrifying destructive attributes..."

"Where?" Xu Lizhi's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, and he asked eagerly.

He remembered that Jiang Xiu possessed the attribute of destruction. If he could also possess it, wouldn't he be able to rival Jiang Xiu?

In that case, Sister Xinglan might change her mind...

"That place is Devil Island, where Jiang Xiu is currently training. It has a strong destructive attribute and is at an extremely high level," Yun Ming said slowly.

During thousands of years of research on Devil Island, no fewer than five Shrek Academy alumni returned with their martial souls imbued with the attribute of destruction after their training on Devil Island.

"Then, Pavilion Master, can I go now?" Xu Lizhi asked excitedly.

“No, your cultivation level is too low right now. We’ll talk about that after you break through to Soul Emperor,” Yun Ming said, shaking his head. “So for now, you should focus on improving your cultivation level.”

"This... has Devil Island always existed?" Xu Lizhi paused, his expression hesitant.

Seeing this, Yun Ming reassured him: "Don't overthink it. There are seniors from our Shrek Academy on Devil Island. Once you break through to Soul Emperor, you can go there."

"Besides, Devil Island is such a large island, how could it possibly disappear? So you can focus on your cultivation."

Xu Lizhi remained silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I will follow your instructions, Your Excellency. I will go back to cultivate now."

He had already made up his mind that as long as Sister Xinglan chose him in the end, he didn't care what had happened before.

And as Master Yunming said, Devil Island is such a large island, how could it possibly disappear?

As long as he breaks through to the Soul Emperor realm, the opportunity will be his!

Watching Xu Lizhi's departing figure, Yun Ming nodded with a hint of satisfaction.

"Although Shrek Academy is currently somewhat lacking in geniuses, with these promising talents, it is still a vibrant and thriving place..."

Immediately afterward, Yun Ming seemed to remember something and glanced at the direction of the Body Sect from the Sea God Pavilion.

"Makino hasn't appeared for a long time since the last great battle. I wonder what he's been doing..."

However, Yun Ming shook his head the next moment. Whatever Mu Ye did, it was definitely none of Shrek Academy's business.

Perhaps Makino is busy reviving the Body Sect.

"The most important thing now is to solidify the divine position; that's the most crucial thing," Yun Ming murmured to himself, his gaze suddenly becoming profound.

"Buzz!"

Ripples spread through the space, and a blue crystal that seemed to contain the ocean and a divine purple-gold soul bone that exuded an unparalleled aura of terror and destruction appeared in Yun Ming's hands.

"Perhaps besides the secret to becoming a god through the process of attaining divine status, these two treasures also hold the key to godhood..."

Yun Ming stared at the two treasures and slowly began to explore them.

One of these items came from the Sun and Moon Royal Family ten thousand years ago...

……

Two and a half days later. Outside Shrek City.

Several figures dressed in black robes stood in the shadows, their bodies exuding a terrifying aura.

Suddenly, ripples appeared in the space, and Di Tian landed in front of them with Gu Yue.

"Let's go, descend upon the small world!"

Gu Yue's cold eyes swept over them, and his majestic voice resounded in the ears of the several ferocious beasts.

"Yes, sir!" The ferocious beasts bowed in unison.

Immediately, a flash of silver light appeared, and the group disappeared, heading towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

They were heading to the small world where the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Ape resided.

……

Above the vast North Sea, a black-level mech streaked across the sky, heading towards an island.

"We're almost at Devil's Island. What excuse should we come up with to wipe out those seven old devils?"

Sitting inside the mecha, Jiang Xiu pondered silently.

However, after thinking it over and over, Jiang Xiu couldn't come up with a good solution.

"Forget it, let's not act anymore, let's just extract it."

Jiang Xiu shook his head.

However, he believed that the seven old demons would definitely come looking for him, so there was no need to worry. After all, those seven old demons had lived for thousands of years and had already become somewhat abnormal.

He remembered that those seven old devils had once ordered Shrek Academy students who came for training to hijack the Northern Navy's soul-guided fighter jets...

"Alright, Jiang Xiu, we've arrived." At this moment, Old Li's voice rang out, followed by, "You can go down directly in a bit, I won't go down."

Old Li's voice trembled slightly as he spoke.

Devil Island certainly left a deep impression on him back then.

As the mecha slowly came to a stop, Jiang Xiuya saw what Devil Island looked like below.

In the azure ocean stood an island, pitch black, with undulating mountains and plants growing on it, though all of them were black.

So from a distance and high above, it looks like a huge black beast trying to devour everything.

After the mecha came to a stop, Jiang Xiu jumped down from the sky.

"tread!"

A crisp sound rang out as Jiang Xiu stepped onto the charred rocks, the sound so abrupt in the deathly silence of Devil's Island.

Meanwhile, Elder Li, piloting his soul-guided mecha, sped away from the area and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

"A very strong aura of destruction... but deep within this island, there is also a strong aura of life..."

Jiang Xiu unleashed his immense spiritual power, continuously exploring Devil Island, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light.

But at that moment, a sudden change occurred. Countless wisps of mist swept rapidly toward Jiang Xiu, and several tall figures appeared out of thin air and approached him.

"The academy has sent someone again. This time it must be that kid named Jiang Xiu."

"That's right, it's him. This is the image Xiaoyuezi showed us..."

"I really want to pull him into this illusion..."

Amidst the commotion, the Seven Demon Elders, enveloped in mist, arrived not far from Jiang Xiu, their gazes filled with danger.

"You must be Jiang Xiu?"

Looking at Jiang Xiu, the arrogant old demon in the center coldly questioned him.

“That’s right.” Jiang Xiu was not flustered. Instead, he looked at the seven old demons and his throat bobbed slightly.

"Hehehe, look, this kid's scared!"

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Jiang Xiu's throat move, the few old demons instantly became mocking.

“I heard from Xiaoyuezi that you took resources from Shrek Academy and are going against Shrek Academy at every turn. This is practically a death sentence.”

The arrogant old demon looked coldly at Jiang Xiu, "So, you'll stay with us forever."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu's eyes lit up. He had just been worried about not being able to find a reason, and this arrogant old devil had actually offered himself up and made such a request.

In an instant, Jiang Xiu's purple eyes turned bloodshot, revealing a kind smile.

"This is what you requested..."

"You can't go back on your word..."
