Douluo: The Thousand-Faced Angel in the Dragon King

Chapter 34 Yali's Help Resolves the Conflict

Xu Lizhi grabbed Qian Mo's hand and whispered with concern, "Brother Qian Mo, the inner courtyard spot is hard-won. We can't just give up all our previous efforts like this!"

Qian Mo shoved Xu Lizhi aside, causing him to stumble, and said, suppressing his anger, "Then consider it dog food, get out of the way!"

Cai Yue'er pointed at Qian Mo's retreating figure, her anger blazing, and shouted, "Get out of here! What kind of place do you come from, and how big of a world are you to be so arrogant! Do you really think Shrek Academy wants to recruit you? Let me tell you, Shrek Academy has plenty of geniuses, many stronger than you."

Qianmo stopped in his tracks, and Yali thought to herself, "This is bad!"

"Alright, alright!" Qian Mo slowly turned around, his face expressionless, but the extremely low air pressure around him indicated that this was the calm before the storm.

"They're already in the wrong, yet they're still attacking from behind. I've never seen anything like it before."

Qian Mo's aura began to rise steadily, and his tone became increasingly deep. The storm was already brewing!

"Since you say Shrek Academy is far superior to mine, fine! Let's settle this once and for all, and let me witness the geniuses of Shrek Academy."

Yali's right eyelid began to twitch wildly, alarm bells rang in her mind, and the situation seemed to be on the verge of complete collapse, beyond saving.

Lan Muzi quickly closed the door to make sure no sound would get out.

Qian Mo pointed at Cai Yue'er provocatively and said coldly, "I'll give you a three-year-old if you're nine years old, no, twelve years old! I'm a magnanimous person who repays evil with kindness.

"Let any student under the age of twelve from your academy come and spar with me. Real combat, a second job, it doesn't matter, I'll accept anyone."

"We're open to discussing victory or defeat, life or death!"

A storm descended from the sky. Qian Mo pointed at Cai Yue'er and said, word by word, "If even one person can beat me, I'll walk out of Shrek City on my knees, and you can say whatever you want about me. If no one can beat me, then take down your title as the number one academy on the continent!"

"Do you dare accept this bet?"

As soon as Qian Mo finished speaking, a thunderclap sounded from the horizon, startling everyone.

Gu Yuena stood firmly beside Qian Mo, her lips pressed tightly together, supporting him.

Cai Yue'er's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, her eyes fixed on Qian Mo. If looks could kill, Qian Mo would be torn to pieces right now.

Even with her eyes burning red, Cai Yue'er still didn't answer the bet.

With Yali's reassurance, her anger had subsided considerably, and reason had prevailed, so she realized she was in a dilemma.

Based on Cai Yue'er's understanding of her students, given that Qian Mo could defeat Huo Yuhao, who was at level 35, there was no one among the twelve-year-old students in the academy who could possibly defeat Qian Mo.

The path of practical combat is not viable, but when it comes to a second profession, Qian Mo is the apprentice of a master craftsman, and his talent in forging is absolutely unparalleled. Don't underestimate him just because he's only nine years old; it's hard to say what level his forging will reach, and Shrek Academy isn't entirely confident of victory.

They couldn't accept the bet, but if Cai Yue'er didn't dare to accept Qian Mo's bet, it would be disgraceful if word got out that Shrek Academy didn't even dare to accept a challenge from a nine-year-old. How could they claim that their academy was full of geniuses? Shrek Academy's reputation would be ruined!

The situation reached a stalemate, or more simply, a stalemate that belonged solely to Cai Yue'er.

"What, you old hag with needle eyes? Does Shrek Academy, which claims to be the number one academy on the continent, not dare to respond to the sulking of a nine-year-old like me?" Qian Mo stared intently at Cai Yue'er, his tone aggressive, continuing to put pressure on her.

Just then, Ya Li broke the silence, saying in a serious tone, "Yue'er, you go down first and return to the Sea God Pavilion!"

Cai Yue'er immediately panicked, "Sister Ya Li, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ya Li interrupted her sharply, "Return to the Sea God Pavilion! You are not to leave Sea God Island without my permission! Don't make me say it a second time!"

At this moment, Yali was no longer the gentle and dignified woman she usually was; her tone was unquestionable and contained a hint of anger.

Cai Yue'er was frightened by Ya Li's appearance and could only get up dejectedly, glare at Qian Mo, and leave the room.

Ya Li took a deep breath and said calmly, "Qian Mo, let's both calm down first. Anger won't solve anything."

"Yue'er was at fault in this matter, and I apologize to you on her behalf. Yue'er was unfair in this assessment, so I order her to return to the Sea God Pavilion for seclusion to reflect on her mistakes, and I revoke her qualification to preside over assessments. The academy will also provide you and Gu Yuena with sufficient compensation and exempt you from future assessments, allowing you to directly enter the inner academy with the highest treatment. What do you say?"

Ya Li spoke up, making a decisive judgment and placing all the blame on Cai Yue'er, thus extinguishing Qian Mo's anger.

At the same time, the dispute, which was gradually escalating to the college level, was brought back to its starting point, and the conflict caused by Cai Yue'er's unfair judgment was brought under control within a scope that she could manage.

Finally, compensation was offered, which was not a problem for Shrek Academy. As for admission to the inner academy without examination, with Qian Mo and Gu Yuena's talents and abilities, they were already capable of entering the inner academy directly; exempting them from the examination was simply a matter of convenience.

Lan Muzi quickly introduced, "This is the Vice Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, Holy Spirit Douluo Teacher Ya Li. She is able to make the above decision on behalf of the academy."

The latest novel is first published here!

The anger on Qian Mo's face gradually subsided. He realized that what he had just done was indeed inappropriate. Escalating the conflict to Shrek Academy and offending or angering Shrek Academy would be detrimental to both him and the forces behind him.

After all, Shrek Academy not only has the strongest person on the continent, but its graduates are also all over the continent and hold high positions. Many of the senior officers of the Southern Legion are from Shrek Academy.

If they really go to war with Shrek Academy, even if Le Zheng'en is a quasi-god, the Southern Legion and the Holy Angel Family will suffer heavy losses.

So Qianmo waved his hand and naturally dropped the bet, following Yali's wishes.

"Fine, I accept your apology, but forget about compensation. I don't want to go into the inner courtyard anymore. I can't stay in the same place as that old woman with the needle-like eye."

After remaining silent for a while, Zhuoshi slowly said, "Child, don't be like that old hag Cai Yue'er and drag your grudges with Cai Yue'er into the inner courtyard, okay?"

"You came to the inner courtyard to study better and enjoy better resources. Are you really going to give all of that up for Cai Yue'er? Isn't that a bit too much to ask? In everything, self-interest comes first!"

Upon hearing this, Qianmo fell into thought. What Zhuoshi said did make sense. Was he really going to give up readily available resources for a mere old woman? The Divine Mask Martial Soul was desperately in need of nourishment!

Seeing Qianmo hesitate, Yali quickly pressed on, "Child, I can assure you that your feud with Yue'er will not affect your studies at Shrek Academy. Our academy will not interfere in your feud with Yue'er. You two can resolve it yourselves, how about that?"
