Douluo Dragon King: I, the wielder of the Holy Sword, will vanquish all evil.

Chapter 93 Yali
"Young friend Su Qiu, I've wanted to meet you for a while now." Ya Li smiled slightly, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze across a lake. "I am Ya Li."

Su Qiu bowed respectfully, his gaze sweeping over the Holy Spirit Douluo: "Your Majesty the Holy Spirit is too kind. May I ask what business you have with me?"

Yali led him to sit down, and then got straight to the point: "The reason I've come to see you today is to invite you to join Shrek Academy."

Su Qiu raised an eyebrow: "Oh? What does that mean?"

“You guys just suffered a terrible defeat.”

“That’s not important.” Ya Li nodded. “It’s normal for Soul Master competitions to have winners and losers.”

No, that's very important.

Cai Yue'er, standing next to her, didn't quite agree. That was Shrek Academy's undefeated glory, how could it not be important?
However, she didn't say anything, since it was Yali who said it.

"You don't mind that I'm from the Spirit Pagoda?"

"Why would you mind?" Yali asked in surprise. "Many of the leaders of the War God Temple, the Spirit Pagoda, and other forces have studied at Shrek Academy."

She said sincerely, "Shrek never forces anyone; we just want to give our young friend a better platform."

“The people around you, such as Na’er and Gu Yue, are all exceptionally talented. Shrek Academy can provide you with the best resources to help you grow faster.”

“I will go.” Before the other person could express their happiness, Su Qiu shook her head and continued, “But not now.”

He had already planned to visit Shrek Academy. It was the Federation's largest hub for talent. Getting one there would be a huge win.

Isn't Wu Changkong, a genius, a product of Shrek Academy?

Actually, Qian Wu was quite nice, which made Su Qiu somewhat interested.

Although the other party is arrogant, they can be shameless when necessary. To buy time, they'll even call someone "father." Being able to bend and stretch—that's true talent.

"Are you refusing?" Yali's gaze was fixed on the blond-haired boy. To be honest, even she was a little nervous.

Which faction wouldn't want a UR card like Su Qiu?

Not to mention, she sensed Su Qiu's terrifying potential more clearly than anyone else.

Inviting Su Qiu to enroll and being friendly to him were actually personal decisions made by Ya Li on the spur of the moment.

Having witnessed the sword's true form after its liberation, she was absolutely certain that the future of Douluo Continent belonged to Su Qiu.

Shrek may have lost, but they must never become enemies with Su Qiu.

“It’s not a refusal.” Facing the gaze of the Title Douluo, Su Qiu remained calm and said softly, “It’s just that, unfortunately, I’ve been quite busy lately. I’ll go in a while.”

This is not a refusal.

Su Qiu really has a lot to do.

First, one must cultivate to level thirty-nine and receive special training from Mu Ye, using the body's secret techniques to better cope with the possible changes that may occur in the body when breaking through to the Soul Master level.

I also need to find a way to raise my spiritual power to the Spirit Abyss Realm and merge with the 100,000-year-old soul spirit provided by Gu Yue.

This all requires a lot of time and effort.

He really doesn't have time to go to Shrek Academy to show off right now.

Moreover, he is not strong enough yet; he won't go if he can't crush all the other trainees.

Otherwise, you'll end up getting humiliated instead of showing off, which would be a real shame.

There should be quite a few people with Qian Wu's strength in the inner court. If someone causes him trouble, he can't just unleash the Holy Sword every time.

Just to be on the safe side, let's strengthen it first before going.

"Really?" Yali thought the other party was politely refusing, and after a moment of silence, she said disappointedly, "You can come anytime, Shrek's doors will always be open for you."

Cai Yue'er, who was standing to the side, was unhappy.

She finally couldn't hold back any longer, her brows furrowed, and her tone carried a hint of impatience: "Young friend Su Qiu, Shrek Academy's invitation is already an incredible opportunity, something many people would kill for. Yet you're making such a fuss. Do you think Shrek Academy isn't good enough for you?"

Su Qiu then realized there was a third person in the room, and immediately looked at the old lady with a puzzled expression. "Who are you?"

Cai Yue'er was speechless for a moment after being choked by the question, "Who are you?" Her face turned pale and then red. After all, she was an elder of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy.

The title of Silver Moon Douluo is quite famous in the Federation's Soul Master world.

Su Qiu's attitude made her feel slighted.

Of course, the most important thing is the stark contrast between Su Qiu's attitude towards Ya Li and his relaxed demeanor towards her.

It made her feel like she lost face in front of her love rival.

Ya Li quickly smoothed things over, suppressing a laugh as she introduced, "This is Teacher Cai Yue'er, who is also a core mentor at our Shrek Academy."

So this is Cai Yue'er? That's not surprising.

Upon hearing this, Su Qiu suddenly realized and bowed apologetically: "So it is His Majesty Silver Moon Douluo. My apologies. I was preoccupied with my conversation with His Majesty Holy Spirit and failed to notice you. Please forgive me."

His tone was sincere, and he didn't seem to be deliberately offensive.

But it is precisely this seemingly genuine attitude that often makes people more vulnerable.

Cai Yue'er continued her usual tactic of labeling people, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, I see you don't take Shrek Academy seriously at all!"

She stared intently at Su Qiu. "I'll ask you one more time: are you willing to join Shrek Academy or not? If not, just say so. There's no need for this pretense!"

"Cai Yue'er!" Before Su Qiu could answer, Ya Li interrupted first.

"Since Su Qiu has her own plans, we should respect them."

She looked at Cai Yue'er with disappointment.

She knew Cai Yue'er liked Yun Ming, and she also knew that many others liked Yun Ming. In fact, she wouldn't mind if Yun Ming married someone else.

After all, her inability to have children made her feel guilty towards Yunming.

But now it seems that person could never be Cai Yue'er. Such an impulsive person is simply not worthy.

"Huh?" Su Qiu's eyes lit up, and she asked with a hint of anticipation, "Are you going to attack me?"

If Cai Yue'er really acts impulsively and makes a move, then he might be trying to scam her.

Cai Yue'er was already furious after being stopped by Ya Li, and when she heard Su Qiu's provocative question, her blood boiled.

A terrifying surge of soul power coursed through his body like a tidal wave: "You brat, you're utterly arrogant! Do you really think I wouldn't dare to touch you?"

Ya Li's expression changed, and she quickly stepped in front of Su Qiu, saying in a deep voice, "Cai Yue'er! How dare you!"

A gentle soul power emanated from her body, and the pressure of the Holy Spirit Douluo instantly enveloped the entire room, creating a standoff with Cai Yue'er.

Looking at Ya Li standing in front of him, Su Qiu knew that with her there, Cai Yue'er wouldn't be able to touch him.

But who is Su Qiu?
Donghai Idea King.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he devised a plan. He said weakly, "Your Holiness, I shall take my leave now."

"We still need to catch the Soul Guidance Train tonight to go back to Donghai City."

"The ticket I booked is for the train at Tianhai West Station, which is quite far from here."

Su Qiu described her itinerary in such detail that she was practically showing him her household registration booklet.

Cai Yue'er, you absolutely have to come!

"I'm sorry, you can go ahead then." Yali apologized as gently as possible.

Then he looked at Cai Yue'er and said in an icy tone, "That's enough for today. If you cause any more trouble, don't blame me for being impolite!"
