Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 230 Departure! Star Luo Continent!
The bus was moving at a decent speed, but the journey was indeed long.

It wasn't until noon the next day that the group arrived at the Tianhai Hotel, located in the center of Tianhai City.

"Everyone, please come this way."

Hotel staff had been waiting for them for a long time and politely led them to their respective rooms.

This exchange activity is at the national level and is large in scale, with more than a thousand participants from both sides. It will take several more days for everyone to gather.

Putting everything else aside, Jiang Yi didn't see anyone from the Spirit Pagoda, and Gu Yue never showed up either.

In the past six months, Gu Yue dropped out of Shrek Academy and returned to the Spirit Pagoda, so they saw each other less often. Instead, Na'er would come to bother him from time to time.

"Take a good rest; you should also pay attention to balancing work and rest when cultivating."

At the doorway, Yali looked around, then gently patted his shoulder in a soft tone.

This child has been cultivating too hastily lately.

"Understood, godmother."

Jiang Yi nodded, and after watching Ya Li's figure disappear, he returned to his room.

For the past six months, he has been busy with Tang Sect affairs, and his soul power has only increased by two levels. He is now at level sixty-nine, still some distance from becoming a Soul Saint.

However, according to his estimation, he should be able to break through the bottleneck before arriving at the Star Luo Continent.

Therefore, he has increased the intensity of his cultivation in the past few days.

This caught the attention of Ya-li, who thought he had something on his mind.

"pat-"

Just as Jiang Yi closed the door, a slight knocking sound came from the balcony, like a mouse trying to avoid a cat.

"..."

Jiang Yi didn't even look in that direction before raising his head and saying helplessly.

"Can't you just use the main entrance this once?"

"I'm used to it, I'll definitely do it next time!"

Ye Xinglan flicked her slightly messy hair and gave a perfunctory reply, but she didn't really care.

Using the main entrance? That won't do!

If people see us spending the night together every night, wouldn't my reputation be ruined?
Sneaking into the village, don't shoot.

Moreover, this sneaky feeling gave her a strange sense of excitement.

"Fine! Whatever you want!"

Jiang Yi shrugged, too lazy to argue with the golden retriever.

This girl is so stubborn. The more you talk to her, the more determined she gets, just like a donkey.

"Alright! Let's get started! I can't wait!"

Ye Xinglan waved her hand and looked at Jiang Yi with a look of excitement.

After saying that, she even reached out and started taking off her clothes, quickly stripping them off completely, revealing her...

Leggings.

Aren't you going to take it off?

She placed the neatly folded coat beside the bed and turned to look at Jiang Yi, who was still dressed.

"If the movements are too vigorous later, it will be a hassle to get your clothes dirty."

"No, let's go."

Jiang Yi glanced at her, then turned and walked towards the training room next door.

The Tianhai Hotel has a training room in every room, which is sufficient for the daily training of Soul Masters.

"coming!"

Ye Xinglan excitedly followed.

Soon after, a roaring sound came from the training match.

……

Half an hour later.

"I'm not playing anymore... I give up."

Ye Xinglan lay on her back on the ground, her chest rising and falling slightly as she breathed heavily.

Her long, golden hair was spread out on the floor. She stared at the ceiling, as if all the strength had been drained from her.

She really didn't have a single drop left.

"Some progress..."

Jiang Yi stood not far away and said softly, casually putting away the Fangtian Halberd.

Compared to Ye Xinglan's disheveled appearance, he seemed much more composed; not only was he not sweating, but his clothes were also perfectly neat.

"You're a monster..."

Ye Xinglan tilted her head, glanced at Jiang Yi, and said in a complicated tone.

Over the past year, the two have often sparred privately, without using their soul power, simply discussing combat techniques.

Unfortunately, she never won, and even felt that the gap between them was quietly widening.

"Remember to clean up the training room."

Jiang Yi didn't respond to her words. He only glanced at the girl who was lying on the ground before turning around and walking out of the training room.

Ye Xinglan's talent in swordsmanship is indeed outstanding, and her sword skills are unparalleled among those of the same level, but unfortunately she encountered him.

His mental strength was too high, and his control over his own power was far beyond what Ye Xinglan could compare to.

"Hmph... Don't be so smug, one day I will surpass you!" Watching Jiang Yi's departing figure, Ye Xinglan, even lying on the ground, still couldn't resist being stubborn.

Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don’t bully young girls into poverty!
However, there seemed to be an indescribable emotion hidden in her pair of bright green eyes.

Defeating him...maybe not, but she has to catch up!

I have my reasons for not losing, hey!

……

The next few days were uneventful; Jiang Yi lived a regular life of eating, sleeping, and playing with the golden retriever.

As more and more exchange teams arrived, the Federation finally issued a departure notice three days later.

One after another, soul-guided buses departed from the Tianhai Grand Hotel and headed towards the distant port.

Two giant ocean liners were moored at the dock, each deck loaded with numerous soul-guided weapons that gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

The most dangerous thing about ocean voyages is not weather changes, but the sea monsters in the deep sea.

On land, humans have become the undisputed overlords, and spirit beasts have almost disappeared. However, in the ocean, ferocious sea spirit beasts are not uncommon.

"Your Holiness, this way please!"

As soon as the Shrek group got out of the car, a middle-aged man in a suit quickly came to greet them with a respectful attitude.

The man was none other than Pan Wen, the Secretary-General of the Federation, who was in charge of matters related to this exchange with Xingluo.

"Hello, Xiao Pan! It's been so many years!"

Yali greeted him with a smile, her gentle attitude making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.

"Your Majesty actually remembers me..."

Pan Wen looked somewhat flattered.

He had met the Holy Spirit Douluo once when he was a child, accompanied by his father. He never expected that the other party would still recognize him after so many years.

"Naturally remember."

Yali smiled and nodded.

She had previously held a position in the Federation, but later stayed at Shrek Academy because of Yun Ming.

"Your Majesty, to promote exchange between the two sides, the teams for this trip have been mixed. Shrek Academy has been assigned to the 'Star Luo' ship on the Star Luo Continent side..."

Pan Wen, being a seasoned politician, instantly suppressed his excitement.

He walked ahead, leading the way, and explained the relevant information to Yali and the others in a very enthusiastic manner.

Soon, after boarding the giant ship, Jiang Yi and the others, led by Wu Changkong, received the keys to their respective cabins.

Shortly after boarding the ship, Ya Li was specially invited to leave by high-ranking officials of the Star Luo Continent. They had long admired this famous Holy Spirit Douluo.

Befriend Ya-Li; she could be a lifesaver in a pinch. No one would complain about having an extra life.

"Woo-wu-wu-"

Shortly afterward, three deep, resonant blasts of the ship's horn echoed through the harbor, and the two giant ships slowly departed from the dock, heading towards the deep sea.

Starship, set sail!

……

"See you tonight, I'm off!"

On the cruise ship, Jiang Yi waved to everyone and then left alone.

"Hey? Why isn't Jiang Yi's room with ours?"

Xu Xiaoyan looked in the direction he left, a hint of disappointment on her face.

They all lived together on the second deck, except for Jiang Yi, whose room was assigned to the fourth deck.

What's happening here?
"Could it be because of the dean's relationship?"

Yuan Enhui stroked his chin and guessed.

She stood at the very front of the line, her robust figure particularly eye-catching, her beautiful eyes gazing at Jiang Yi's back with a hint of regret.

A few months ago, before he had finished paying back the money he owed Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi gave him a magical herb.

The debt is really piling up.

She was even thinking of finding some work on the road to pay off Jiang Yi's debt.

Otherwise, if I keep owing money like this, it seems I really might have to sell myself...

"It does seem possible."

Xie Xie blinked, indicating his agreement.

It's common knowledge that Jiang Yi is Ya Li's adopted son.

"Let's go! Yuanen, who cares where he lives!"

Ye Xinglan acted as if she didn't care, and pulled Yuan Enyehui toward the second-floor cabin.

Since everyone lives together, her actions at night are more likely to be seen. It's better to live further away!

……

On the other side, Jiang Yi walked somewhat confusedly through the ship's passageway.

Yali's room was specially arranged, which was nice, but she told me she was staying on the top floor.

With questions in mind, he climbed the stairs floor by floor, passing through deck after deck, and finally arrived at the fourth floor.

However, just as he stepped out of the stairwell, the first cabin on the fourth deck suddenly opened, and a small, fair hand reached out and skillfully pulled him inside.

"Don't move, it's me!"
