Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King

Yes, the people before us are the true high-ranking members of Shrek Academy, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion.

The one sitting in the main seat is none other than Yun Ming, the highest leader of the Sea God Pavilion and the current Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion.

"Moon, please tell us about the situation," Yun Ming said with a smile. The Sea God Pavilion meetings are never held lightly; they are only convened when major events occur.

The people gathered here now are not all of Shrek Academy's high-ranking officials. Many elders have voluntarily retired and are secretly cultivating on the Golden Tree. Those are Shrek Academy's true strength; they will only intervene when the academy faces a crisis.

"Yes." Facing Yun Ming, Cai Yue'er, who was known for her eccentric temper in the outer courtyard, appeared extremely respectful.

Cai Yue'er stood up, took out a metal rod, and gently pressed it, projecting a beam of light onto the side wall.

The image above clearly shows a train carriage covered in blood.

The elders of the Sea God Pavilion all looked over, each of them deep in thought.

"This is a video that the governor of Tiandou City sent us not long ago. It shows a section of a soul-guided train that was attacked by evil soul masters. It is said that this time, the evil soul masters not only attacked the soul-guided train, but also personally appeared to attack government personnel," Cai Yue'er said.

"The evil spirit masters have become increasingly rampant recently, to the point where they must be dealt with. The Federation has also sent us a request, hoping that we can cooperate with the Federation in cracking down on the evil spirit masters."

These evil spirit masters are elusive and unpredictable; the only solution is to strengthen security measures in various cities and deploy more military forces to monitor them closely.

The Sea God Pavilion Master said, "We agree to the Federation's request. The inner disciples of the academy will participate in the encirclement and suppression of the evil soul masters. At the same time, we will contact the Tang Sect and mobilize our entire network of relationships to search for the evil soul masters. We will report back immediately upon discovery."

"Yes," the elders replied in unison.

"Sect Master, there's something else. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy recently submitted a challenge to our academy, hoping to exchange and spar with us. Take a look." Cai Yue'er said, taking out a challenge letter and handing it to Yun Ming.

Chapter 271 The Debate Over the Start of School

One of the elders frowned and said disdainfully, "Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy? Do they think our academy has declined? Humph! Now it seems like any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to come and cause trouble for our academy."

"The main issue is that not long ago, our academy's students lost a match to them, although they managed to save face in the end. However, the disciples of Zhuoshi also agreed to their declaration of war." Cai Yue'er glanced at Zhuoshi.

"Hmph." Zhuo Shi snorted coldly and said, "Last time it was just the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Those guys were too despicable. They actually used environmental factors to put pressure on my disciples and grand-disciples, and they even hid their strength, which is why we caught them off guard."

After hearing Zhuo Shi's words, Cai Yue'er raised an eyebrow.

"Alright." The Sea God Pavilion Master smiled slightly, interrupting Zhuo Shi who was trying to be defiant. "Agree to their request. It'll also put some pressure on the kids in the outer courtyard."

“Yes,” Cai Yue’er replied, and then said, “But Pavilion Master, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy not only demands that we have an exchange match, but also specifically requests that we have a forging competition with Feng Wuyu.”

"Hmm?" Feng Wuyu looked up in confusion. "Is it that old man Ao Hongchen who wants to have a forging competition with me? If that's the case, then I'll agree."

Then, Feng Wuyu rubbed his hands together. "In terms of raw strength, I might not be able to beat that old man. But in forging, I don't think I'll lose to him."

Upon seeing this, one of the elders smiled and said, "Crazy old man, don't be careless. Not only is Ao Hongchen quite strong, but his martial soul, the Three-Legged Golden Toad, also has a natural advantage in metal forging."

"Hmph, so what if I have the advantage of a martial spirit? Apart from Zhenhua, I don't think I would lose to any other blacksmith in the world today."

"Ahem." Cai Yue'er looked at Feng Wuyu and said somewhat awkwardly, "This time, the one I'm competing against isn't Ao Hongchen."

"No? Could it be that their academy has other master craftsmen?" Feng Wuyu asked doubtfully.

Upon hearing this, the others also turned their gazes to Cai Yue'er. It's important to understand that even within Shrek Academy, Feng Wuyu was their only Saint-level Craftsman!

If the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy produces two Saint-level craftsmen, that would not be good news for them.

Cai Yue'er shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be. The one who declared war on you this time was a young man. Ao Hongchen wrote it down. His name is Lu Fa. He's fourteen years old and is the captain of the Seven Stars of Glory."

They said they had long heard of Shrek Academy's great reputation in the forging world and came specifically to challenge us.

Shrek Academy's reputation in the forging world? It's more like a bad reputation, since even the Forging Masters Association is suppressed in Shrek City and can only huddle in a dilapidated shack.

Feng Wuyu looked at her in astonishment. "What? Fourteen years old? Cai Yue, are you kidding me? Making me compete with a little kid?"

Cai Yue'er said helplessly, "I'm not making fun of you, that's just what the challenge letter says."

"Those guys from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy really have a good plan. They're only fourteen years old. If the old madman really competes with them, regardless of the outcome, he'll probably lose face."

"Yes, to be able to issue a challenge with such confidence, that blacksmith's level must be quite high. If the contestant we send out is older than him, even if we win, people will probably gossip about us."

“Sending that crazy old man to fight is impossible. These guys are too insidious, Master. Why don’t we just refuse them outright?”

The elders of the Sea God Pavilion began to condemn the unethical behavior of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

“No need.” Just then, Feng Wuyu raised his hand and said, “If the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy wants to compete, then let’s compete with them. It’s a good opportunity to let them see what the number one academy on the continent is all about.”

"Hey? Crazy old man, you're not really going to fight him, are you?"

"Of course not," Feng Wuyu said dismissively. "I wouldn't stoop to bullying a little kid. This time, I'll have my disciple fight in my place."

"Huh? Crazy old man, when did you find a successor? How come we didn't know?"

"Yes, how is your disciple's forging skill? Don't let him actually lose."

Feng Wuyu waved his hand confidently and said, "Don't worry, my disciple is about the same age as them. As for their forging skills?"

Feng Wuyu stood up, put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and said, "I can only say that in the world of forging, there is no one of his age who can compare to him, even if the other party is the master craftsman Zhenhua."

"Oh!" Upon hearing this, the other elders looked at him in surprise. They knew the mad old man's personality; he would never speak without reason. It seemed that his disciple must be truly outstanding.

"Hmph!" Zhuo Shi snorted in dissatisfaction. This Feng Wuyu was too unfair. He was using his grand-disciple to show off here, without even taking him along.

"Alright, I'll also agree to the forging competition," Cai Yue'er said with a smile. She was aware of Tang Wulin's forging skills. His ability to perform spirit forging and even forge spirit alloys meant that he also knew fusion forging.

In terms of blacksmithing skills, Tang Wulin can already be considered a level six blacksmith.

In terms of cultivation, Cai Yue'er didn't think Tang Wulin was a good match, but in terms of forging skills, she didn't believe anyone could defeat him either. Especially since his opponent was just a fourteen-year-old brat.

"Now, let's talk about Fors Wall." At this moment, Yun Ming, the master of the Sea God Pavilion, spoke up.

Upon hearing this, the elders looked at Yun Ming with suspicion. Clearly, although they knew about the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, they had not seen any footage of it.

"It's here." Cai Yue'er sighed. Although she had expected it, she was still somewhat unwilling when the moment actually arrived.

Ya Li, the Holy Spirit Douluo on the right, also glanced at Cai Yue'er helplessly.

"This is information about Fors, and a video of that battle." Cai Yue'er, as if she had prepared it in advance, took out another metal rod.

Then it opened, and what was playing was Fors's performance during the entrance exam, as well as the battle at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, followed by her background information.

silence!

After witnessing Fors's performance, the Sea God Pavilion fell into a brief silence.

"Hmm, this young lady has performed well, but I see that she is not yet very proficient in controlling the wind element. It just so happens that I am in need of a successor, so let her become my disciple."

"I will definitely teach her well." After a while, an elder stroked his beard and then said righteously.

"What does that have to do with you? Aren't you a spirit-type martial soul? Why are you trying to take it from me?"

"Get lost! Who said mental magic can't be taught? She manipulates the elements, does that mean she doesn't use mental power? She's at the Spirit Abyss Realm, and not even at the very beginning! This woman is definitely the mantle bestowed upon me by heaven."

In an instant, the Sea God Pavilion became a bustling sea, with several elders arguing endlessly.

"enough."

Just then, the old man sitting on the first left of the Sky Douluo spoke up, "You're all so old, yet you're still arguing endlessly. Have some shame."

As soon as the old man spoke, the elders who were arguing incessantly around him immediately fell silent.

"No, Brother Tang. Look at us, we're getting on in years. We're just thinking of finding a successor to carry on our legacy."

"This little girl's martial soul, although it involves multi-element manipulation, is absolutely suitable for inheriting my combat skills!" At this moment, the elder named Song cried out.

The "Brother Tang" he mentioned was clearly the old man sitting in the first seat to the left of the Sky-Supporting Douluo.

Tang Yang is a descendant of Thunderbolt Baby and Tang Ya, the sect leader of the Tang Sect, from ten thousand years ago. His martial soul is Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. He is also a level 98 Title Douluo and a four-word Battle Armor Master.

"Hmph! Didn't you see this little girl's soul ring configuration? She is definitely not a pure elemental manipulator. With her powerful physique, spiritual power at the Spirit Abyss Realm, and the ability to transform into lightning, this little girl should be taught by me."

At first, the elders around Tang Yang nodded in agreement with his words; indeed, what Brother Tang said made a lot of sense. However, as Tang Yang continued speaking, they felt increasingly uneasy.

No, so all that you've said is just to try and take it from us?

Fortunately, at this moment, Yun Ming, who was in the main seat, spoke up:

"Alright, Fors Wall is still studying at the academy. Are you all afraid she'll run away? She should focus on her studies right now. Don't go near her before she enters the inner courtyard and scare the young lady."

Let's discuss how to deal with the evil spirit master first.

Yun Ming's words directly settled the matter of Fors, instructing the elders not to disturb her before she entered the inner courtyard.

The elders clearly agreed with Yun Ming's words. This relieved Cai Yue'er, as the current situation was most advantageous to her, after all, she was the dean of the outer court of Shrek Academy.

The next step is to discuss some measures against evil spirit masters, as well as the overall response plan.

……

The opening ceremony was as simple as ever. There were six classes in six grades, totaling only a few hundred people. Mr. Cai gave a few simple words, and the opening ceremony was officially over.

Then, the teachers of each class take the students back to their classrooms for a class meeting. This is what happens on the first day of the new semester.

However, it was different for Class 1, Grade 1, because something big happened today.

"Have you heard? The vice class monitor and the others challenged Class Monitor Wu Siduo this afternoon. Yesterday, I heard a teacher mention that Xie Xie went to rent a venue."

"Huh? Really? Their conflict hasn't been resolved yet?"

"Of course, after all, they are all young geniuses, and the vice class monitor and the others have even forged battle armor parts. In my opinion, this competition is really a bit uncertain. But that's good, we can go and see this afternoon. I wonder how strong they have become now."

"Forget about it, they're definitely way beyond our reach. And what good is their strength if they can't beat Fors?"

"Yeah, I think so too. But Fors is an exception; I'm still very interested in the matches of the class monitor and vice class monitor."

The class training was conducted by Shen Yi, who first assigned tasks for the new school year. The second semester, also the second year, presented the students with a simple task: to begin experimenting with creating one-word battle armor.
