Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 278 Return to Shrek Academy (Please subscribe!!!)

"With the Evil-Revealing Mirror around, the evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult can no longer hide, and they are not as rampant as before."

Upon hearing this, Su Ming nodded.

The Evil Mirror judges based on faith; no evil spirit master can escape it. Under this kind of investigation, the relationship between the spirit master world and evil spirit masters has changed.

Previously, we could only wait for evil spirit masters to commit evil deeds, and then someone would chase after them, which would inevitably result in losses, and we might even lose them.

Now, he carries the Evil-Revealing Mirror around looking for evil spirit masters, which has increased his efficiency by more than a little bit.

Instead of rushing to Mingdu, he went to Shrek City first.

Shrek City.

Blacksmiths Guild.

"Su Ming is here?"

Upon hearing of Su Ming's arrival, Zhang Wei immediately went to greet him.

"President, Sect Master."

He took Su Ming and Du Busi to the top floor of the association.

"Zhang Wei, I heard you're about to have your martial soul awaken for the second time?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei gave a wry smile.

He said with a hint of helplessness, "It has indeed reached a critical point, but my will has also been hit by a bottleneck, and I can't find a way to break through."

Willpower is the key to his second awakening of his martial soul, but he doesn't have a good way to transform his own willpower now.

"Since there's no other way, let's fight. Experiencing more life-or-death battles will eventually lead to a breakthrough."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei's eyes lit up slightly.

Since joining the Body Sect, he has experienced several battles and has become very enthusiastic about fighting. Now, hearing that he is going to fight to the death, he is actually a little excited.

Seeing this, Su Ming nodded secretly.

When he first met Zhang Wei, the latter was not like this; he was somewhat timid. His current behavior can only be described as corresponding to the characteristics of his martial soul.

"I'm preparing to take action against the Holy Spirit Cult, so you should join me."

"no problem!"

"As for the president of this association..."

Zhang Wei said, "Little Li is not bad."

"Little Li?"

“Yes, a genius soul master whose talent was wasted by Shrek Academy. Now he’s also doing well in forging and has already advanced to a level three forging master.” Zhang Wei said, “By the way, he only joined the Forging Master Association after I took office and started to get involved in the field of forging.”

Back then, Zhang Wei was still figuring out how to launch a public opinion offensive against Shrek Academy when Xiao Li took the initiative to set the pace and made Zhang Wei remember him.

They are not from the Body Sect.

However, upon hearing that Zhang Wei had a grudge against Shrek Academy, Su Ming did not hesitate and gave him his trust.

"Then let him be the president."

Now that he was in Shrek City, Su Ming wasn't in a hurry to leave.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were still exchanging ideas and learning when Su Ming called them over and asked for their thoughts.

What did you learn at Shrek Academy?

Although she was older than Su Ming and was still learning from the elder, Xiao Hongchen Meng Hongchen actually felt that Su Ming's tone when asking about the two of them was quite normal.

Su Ming has unconsciously developed the aura of someone in a superior position.

He exudes an aura of authority.

“It’s not very useful in terms of teaching,” Xiao Hongchen said. “Aside from the frequent battles and competitive atmosphere, Shrek Academy is useless.”

He gave his own assessment.

He made significant progress at Shrek Academy, but it wasn't the academy's doing; it was the students who gave him that support.

Before coming, he had set a goal for this exchange program: not to improve his soul tool, but to learn how to apply his martial soul. Fortunately, there were many top-tier martial souls and powerful soul masters here, allowing him to engage in pure martial soul combat very frequently.

Meng Hongchen nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed, Shrek Academy's teaching style doesn't feel particularly special. Even the techniques for developing martial souls are all discovered by the students themselves under high pressure." They find ways to become stronger under intense pressure and mental strain.

Shrek Academy is purely about raising treacherous monsters.

“Ma Rulong is probably the one who fights the most; he’s being targeted by that Yan Shaozhe,” Xiao Hongchen said.

Su Ming looked at Ma Rulong.

Ma Rulong now exudes a much more composed aura than before.

Under Su Ming's gaze, Ma Rulong's expression turned slightly unpleasant.

"Shrek Academy's design has robbed me of my Sword of Judgment."

Su Ming narrowed his eyes.

Shrek Academy took the Sword of Judgment?
"When did this happen?"

"It's been half a year already."

After the exchange activity began, Shrek Academy did not immediately show any targeting towards Ma Rulong. Instead, as time passed, signs gradually emerged, and then they devised a bet to win Ma Rulong's Sword of Judgment.

"The Sword of Judgment isn't so easy to wield. Come on, I'll take you to get it back."

Without hesitation, Su Ming led Ma Rulong and the others to Shrek Academy's inner courtyard to challenge them.

The inner court.

While Su Ming and the others were in mid-air, their powerful soul force surged in all directions, causing the water of the Sea God Lake to swell into a sphere and flow outwards.

The students of Shrek Academy glared angrily at Su Ming.

How arrogant Su Ming is!

Inside the Sea God Pavilion, Yan Shaozhe, Xuanzi, and others rushed out, their eyes immediately drawn to Poison Undying behind Su Ming.

Xuanzi's pupils contracted.

"Ultimate Douluo!"

Poison Undying has actually broken through.

His exclamation made Yan Shaozhe and the others' hearts sink.

Since Mu En's death, Shrek Academy has been facing a talent shortage and has been gradually falling behind due to the influence of the situation on the continent. Even the Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent cannot completely affect it.

This can be seen from the development of the Blacksmith Association, where the Gengxin City branch within the Star Luo Empire is on par with the Shrek City branch.

Apart from that, the Star Luo City branch is not as good as the Shrek City branch. Shrek City is, after all, a super city that gathers too many Soul Masters.

However, in terms of population ratio alone, the proportion of excellent blacksmiths produced in Xingluo City is no lower than that in Shrek City!

This cannot be achieved simply through increased training efforts. Clearly, the Star Luo Empire has begun to consolidate its talent pool, and its output to Shrek Academy has started to decrease.

We give you so many talented people every year, but we've fallen behind in our own development, and you can't develop either, yet you always have such a sour face.

I won't serve you anymore.

The Star Luo Empire's actions undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Shrek Academy, and the quality of its students has shrunk significantly in the past two years.

Shrek Academy has no effective means of retaliating against this, because wars are not frequent at the moment.

The development of the Blacksmith Association has greatly eased the war between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire!
Shrek Academy itself was on the decline, while their rival, the Body Sect, was on the rise, not only developing a huge direct organization like the Blacksmith Association, but also giving birth to the Limit Douluo, Poison Undying!

"Hand over the sword of judgment."

With poison behind him, Su Ming was full of confidence.

He stared directly into Xuanzi's eyes.

"The Sword of Judgment was won by my Shrek students through a fair fight," Yan Shaozhe said.

“A fair fight? Then I’ll bet with you today.” Su Ming said, “I’ll bet a piece of Soul Forged Metal. Any student from your inner court who can beat me can have this piece of Soul Forged Metal.”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a Soul-Forged Jade Silver appeared beside him.

"Soul-forged metal can automatically repair itself when damaged. It can further fuse with a Soul Master's Martial Soul and has special effects. When it is compatible with a Soul Master's Martial Soul, it can create a domain under the guidance of a Soul Guidance Array."
