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

Pan Wen, being a politician, quickly recovered, laughed, and continued, "It seems Dean Hongchen has a lot of confidence in the geniuses of our Federation. Come, this way, please. I'll take you and the top students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy over there."

Then, Pan Wen looked at Cai Yue'er and said, "Then, Elder Cai, who are you?"

"Alright." Elder Cai didn't say anything more, just nodded. Even their own rival had chosen to go, so how could Shrek Academy possibly show weakness?

"Alright." Pan Wen laughed heartily, "Then please, all you top students from Shrek Academy, make your way here."

The fact that the Federal Secretary-General personally led the way showed that both sides had already given each other ample face.

"Phew, I've finally convinced these two big shots."

Pan Wen breathed a sigh of relief. Neither the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy nor Shrek Academy were institutions he couldn't afford to offend. Persuading them to agree to the exchange was a huge weight lifted from his shoulders.

As the representative academy of the Federation, many members of the Federation military are graduates of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

As the dean, Ao Hongchen has taught countless students, and now he has close relationships with many big shots in the military.

At the same time, he is also the patriarch of the Hongchen family, a large family responsible for researching and providing various military soul tools for the Federation, and they hold a considerable number of seats among the Federation's councilors.

His identity, status, and power are all beyond what a federal secretary-general like him can afford to offend.

Fortunately, as a member of the Federation, Ao Hongchen would generally give him face as long as he didn't make excessive demands, since they were both part of the Federation.

As for Shrek Academy?

To be honest, Pan Wen felt quite helpless. He knew all too well what Shrek Academy's status was on the continent.

The academy has always been a major headache for the Federation. Each successive Federation administration has most hoped to achieve two things: control of Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda. Of course, this has remained just wishful thinking.

These two places hold a pivotal position on the continent, and more importantly, they both concentrate the continent's strongest military forces.

The Spirit Pagoda is a bit easier to deal with; driven by certain interests, cooperation can proceed relatively smoothly. But Shrek Academy is like the hardest reef in the ocean, unmoved by wind and rain.

However, Shrek Academy happens to have the strongest experts on the continent, so the Federation can only turn a blind eye.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Shrek Academy has no ambition.

Even though they occupy the center of the entire continent, apart from the major expansion ten thousand years ago, they have no intention of expanding again, after all, the major expansion during the Lingbing Douluo era ten thousand years ago.

Currently, in the entire Federation, apart from Mingdu, which is comparable to Shrek City in terms of area, no other city can compare.

The students, like soldiers coming and going, remained in the same camp. Apart from members of large families, most Shrek Academy graduates chose to join various federal departments or other advanced academies to become teachers after graduation.

Of course, these are all graduates from the School of Foreign Languages; those from the School of Internal Affairs, don't even think about it.

Graduates of the Inner Academy generally choose to stay at Shrek Academy, or join the Tang Sect, with a few choosing to join the Spirit Pagoda.

Based on all of the above, the federal government reluctantly recognized their relative autonomy.

Chapter 312 Suppressing All Dissent

Led by Pan Wen, the group filed onto the ship.

There are special escalators for boarding, propelled by Soul Guidance Technology. The journey is smooth but somewhat lengthy.

Nan Fusheng immediately spotted a group of neatly dressed people boarding the ship not far ahead of them.

They were all dressed in white school uniforms, and their average age was around seventeen or eighteen. When they saw the Shrek Academy students in their green uniforms, they pointed and whispered among themselves.

Yes, they were pointing at the group from Shrek Academy. Because the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy students were walking ahead, while they were a few steps behind, he was quite certain, with his Soul Master's eyesight, that they were being pointed at.

"However, this is inevitable."

Looking at his green outfit, Nan Fusheng didn't know what to say, since the outfit really put his looks to the test.

Good-looking girls like Fors, Na'er, Xu Xiaoyan, and Ye Xinglan will naturally look good in the clothes, but it's hard to say for those who are average-looking.

Wearing this outfit out, it's hard not to be pointed at and gossiped about. Is this Shrek Academy's way of promoting itself? It certainly seems so.

Nan Fusheng remembered that Shrek Academy's textbooks mentioned that the design was created by Flander, the first dean of Shrek Academy. It was precisely because of this that the poop-green school uniform was probably only found at Shrek Academy on the Douluo Continent.

Even after 20,000 years of changes, the core color—green—has never changed.

Boarding the giant ship and looking back at the shore, everything seemed so small.

Staff members were already approaching. These weren't staff from the Douluo Continent side, but rather from the Star Luo Continent.

The next step, naturally, was to arrange accommodations. The ship's capacity was large enough that there wouldn't be any problem for everyone to board it.

However, to make it more spacious, it was divided into two sides.

Soon, everyone got their own cabin key in hand, because there was enough space for everyone to have a single room.

Ao Hongchen and Cai Yue'er left directly. As the leaders of their respective academies, their accommodations were naturally different from the others, located on the top deck of the giant ship. Pan Wen personally led the way.

"The school uniforms of Shrek Academy are so ugly. How can you stand it?" At this moment, a somewhat sarcastic voice sounded.

The Shrek students turned around and saw that the students from Star Luo Royal Academy, who were wearing white school uniforms, whom they had seen earlier, had come up.

There were twelve people in total, all looking about the same age, eight men and four women, all gathered together.

The person who spoke was a short boy. He was not tall but looked very strong.

Upon hearing the provocation from the Star Luo Royal Academy, Long Chen and his companions in front instinctively stopped and turned around, ready to watch the show.

On Shrek Academy's side, Yue Zhengyu suddenly shook his head, seemingly searching for something, and muttered, "Who's talking? Who's talking?"

That student from Xingluo Royal Academy, though short, wasn't so short that he was completely invisible! Le Zhengyu's words immediately provoked public outrage.

"Boy, what are you talking about?" The short student was the first to get angry. He rushed in front of Le Zhengyu and hit him with his chest.

Le Zhengyu did not dodge, "Oh, so you are here. I am so sorry, my cervical spine is not very good, I am not used to looking down at people. But your development, tut tut, is indeed a bit problematic."

"Bang—" Their chests collided, the short young man jumped up and hit him. Le Zhengyu stood there motionless, but the short young man felt as if he had hit an iron plate, his body fell down, and he took two steps back.

The difference in skill is immediately apparent. The gap in strength is stark.

"Is this how you people from the Star Luo Continent show affection? How strange! Do you girls do this too?" As he spoke, Le Zhengyu glanced curiously at the four female students from the Star Luo Royal Academy.

"Very good, very lewd!" Upon hearing Le Zhengyu's words, the four female students from Xingluo Royal Academy instinctively covered their chests. The male students, on the other hand, looked extremely displeased.

"Let's fight! Let's fight!" Seeing this, Zui Hongchen, who was next to Lu Fa, immediately became eager to stir up trouble and whispered.

"Boring, let's go." Lu Fa didn't even glance at them. In any case, even if a fight broke out, it would definitely be the Star Luo Royal Academy that got beaten up. So he said it casually and left.

On the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy side, apart from Shenwei, only Zui Hongchen, who liked to pester Lu Fa, and Xue Liushuang, who didn't want to see Zui Hongchen pestering Lu Fa, followed. The rest chose to stay there and watch the show.

After all, this is a good opportunity to observe the strength of Shrek Academy and Star Luo Royal Academy. If the two really fight, they will definitely reveal a lot of their methods.

And no matter which side wins, as spectators, they won't lose out no matter how you look at it.

"If you're so capable, come over there and have a real fight." The short young man mocked the group from Shrek Academy. There was indeed a specially set-up arena on the deck for young Soul Masters to spar.

The Star Luo Empire has always revered martial prowess. Since the era of Lingbing Douluo, their admiration for individual martial strength has reached an unimaginable level, so it is not surprising that such a arena would be set up on the deck.

"Come on then, do you think we are..." Before Le Zhengyu could finish speaking, a terrifying mental pressure began to indiscriminately suppress them.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang..." In an instant, Le Zhengyu and the people from Xingluo Royal Academy on the deck were all overwhelmed by this terrifying mental pressure, unable to breathe, and couldn't help but kneel on the deck. Some people from Xingluo Royal Academy even lay down on the deck.

"How is this going?"

Even Long Chen and his companions, who were watching the show from afar, were affected by this mental pressure and knelt on the deck.

"Hmph!" A disgruntled snort rang out, and the mental pressure pressing down on the group intensified. This time, even those kneeling on the deck were starting to feel the strain.

The group from Xingluo Royal Academy fared even worse. Several girls collapsed onto the deck, their eyes rolling back in their heads, their mouths slightly open, revealing a small tongue. They looked as if they were about to faint.

"It's a rare opportunity to travel, can't you guys be a little more sensible? Why do you have to come and spoil other people's fun at this time?"

A languid voice rang out, and Fors calmly walked past the people lying on the ground, as if she hadn't been the one who had just launched the attack.

Oh, no, that's not right either. She was just releasing her spiritual energy, which shouldn't count as an attack, right? As for others being unable to withstand it and collapsing to the ground? What does that have to do with her?

Unfortunately, suppressed by Fors's mental power, he is now unable to even speak.

"Let's go."

Fors turned around and waved to Nan Fusheng, Xu Xiaoyan and the others, then walked past the group from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy toward the flight room passage.

"Brother, good luck to you."

Tang Wulin and the others silently walked past Le Zhengyu. Xie Xie couldn't help but squat down, poke Le Zhengyu, and silently mourn for him.

"boom."

The mental pressure that had been hanging over them only dissipated when the door slammed shut.

"Heh, heh, whew, whew..."

The mental pressure finally disappeared, and the people lying on the deck immediately began to breathe heavily, enjoying the hard-won air.

"Damn it, how can she be so strong!"

Because they were quite far away, Long Chen and his companions recovered quickly, though their eyes were filled with shock. They had already overestimated the Shrek Academy students as much as possible.

After all, their victory over Shrek Academy last time was entirely due to Lu Fa and Shen Wei. They were well aware that they were just there to make up the numbers. That's why they wanted to have another match with the Shrek Academy students this time to prove their strength.

Unexpectedly, just watching a show was enough to overwhelm them; they were all rendered immobile by the shockwaves.

Judging from this situation, when the official competition begins, the opponent probably won't even need to move; they can crush them with just this mental power.

"gone."

Long Chen said something and then left the deck. This incident served as a wake-up call for them, completely washing away their pride from their recent victory over Shrek Academy.

Although they were confident that no one among their peers could defeat the Seven Stars of Glory as long as Captain Lufa and Vice Captain Shenwei were present, this did not mean they would be content to be mere accessories; they also had their pride.
