Reincarnated as a demon from Douluo Continent, guarding peace in the human world.

Chapter 56 Royal Fighting Academy

As the conspiracy against Xiao slowly unfolded, Xiao was unaware of the specific developments and continued to live his life in a nearly fixed manner.

Perhaps because he was a traveler, or perhaps because the almond tofu was so delicious that it reminded him of the taste of a beautiful dream, he was no longer so averse to the world.

I would occasionally visit Yuexuan and became friends with Tang Yuehua.

Thinking about it this way, he has made many friends during his time in this foreign land, more than he has in the hundred years he spent in Liyue.

Tang Yuehua, Dugu Bo, Qian Renxue... These people from foreign lands have different personalities, but they all fit his personality quite well.

That day, while he was sleeping outside Tiandou City, he suddenly received a summons.

He immediately went there. It was a country road. A villager was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. In front of him, hundreds of venomous snakes were coiled up, flicking their scarlet tongues.

When the villagers saw the demon appear, they kowtowed repeatedly.

"Sage Xiao! You've really appeared! Please, please save me! Save me! I have an eighty-year-old mother to care for, and..."

Xiao suddenly shook his head and said, "Come out."

The villagers were stunned for a moment, looking at Xiao's back with a puzzled expression.

The next second, a figure flashed out from the bushes nearby; it was Dugu Yan.

After some time apart, Dugu Yan had grown her hair long, letting it fall loosely behind her head, making her look softer than before. She said with a grin, "Brother Xiao! You're amazing! You guessed it was me right away."

Xiao frowned as he looked at her; he wasn't actually happy about seeing him this way.

Seeing Xiao's expression, Dugu Yan immediately realized the problem and hurriedly said, "Brother Xiao, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to scare him! It's like this!"

"His elderly mother was seriously ill and bedridden, and he had no money for treatment, so I gave his wife some gold soul coins and secretly staged this charade without his knowledge."

"Tell me, is it worth giving you ten gold soul coins just to scare you like this?"

Dugu Yan asked.

The villagers' eyes lit up, and they immediately kowtowed to Dugu Yan, repeatedly saying:

"Don't even mention startling me, I'd be willing to be bitten a few times! Otherwise, where would I get so many gold soul coins? Thank you, sir, thank you, sir..."

Dugu Yan glanced smugly at Xiao, as if waiting for Xiao's praise.

Xiao simply gave a faint "hmm".

Dugu Yan couldn't hold back any longer and quickly stepped forward to hug Xiao's arm, saying in a sweet voice, "Brother Xiao, you've really gone too far. You haven't come to see us for so many days... I had no other choice but to do this."

"Why don't you tell me where I can find you, and I won't do it again next time?"

Dugu Yan blinked, her meaning clear.

If Xiao doesn't give her a place to find, she'll definitely continue doing this.

Xiao paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then told her about a place.

That was a good place for him to sleep outside Tiandou City.

"What do you want from me?" Xiao asked.

She could tell that Dugu Yan was risking angering her because she had other important business to attend to.

Dugu Yan sighed, took Xiao's wrist, and walked down the mountain, saying as she did so:

"Brother Xiao, this is the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Because I broke off my engagement, I had a falling out with Yu Tianheng. He left the academy, and I am now the future dean of the academy."

"In recent years, Shrek Academy has been the most arrogant, actively contacting the Four Elements Academy in an attempt to merge into one academy."

"That shameless Flander came up with an excuse, saying that the Soul Masters who had participated in the Soul Master Competition before could spar from time to time, and this time it was at the Royal Fighting Academy."

"The challengers are Shui Bing'er and her group from Tianshui Academy. Sigh, without Yu Tianheng, even with a substitute, I'm not very confident of winning."

Dugu Yan sighed. Among their generation, apart from the Shrek Seven Devils who were all freaks, Shui Bing'er had the highest talent!

Not only was her martial soul a top-grade beast martial soul, the Ice Phoenix, but she was also the youngest at the time!

At that time, their soul power cultivation was about the same, but nearly five years later, Shui Bing'er's talent was brought into play, and she became much stronger than them.

"So, I hope Brother Xiao can help us defeat them," Dugu Yan said with a grin.

Xiao frowned slightly. "I'm not..."

"Hey, Xiao-ge, it doesn't matter. You're my good Xiao-ge! Besides, it's starting soon, and it would be so embarrassing if we couldn't find anyone!"

"Please, Xiao-ge..."

Dugu Yan clasped her hands together, looking pitifully at Xiao.

Xiao nodded and agreed.

……

The two soon arrived at a battle arena, which was open-air and already had a large audience. Representatives from other academies had also arrived, bringing the total number of people to over 100,000.

Among them, the most eye-catching were the representatives from Shrek Academy, including Flander and Ma Hongjun.

As the champion of the previous Soul Master Competition, Shrek Academy was in unparalleled glory.

Flander and Ma Hongjun were like two flamboyant oddballs, constantly greeting other colleges while the other was trying to poach talent from other institutions.

The teachers at Huangdou Academy were furious, but they couldn't be as shameless as the two of them.

Flander said smugly, "I'm not bragging, but when it comes to teaching and recognizing talent, no one is better than Shrek Academy! Even a good-for-nothing can succeed there!"

"We were the champions last year. You should know that their average age is so high that they could even participate this year!"

"What? Your Royal Fighting Academy? Just watch! This time, Shui Bing'er and the others from Tianshui Academy will absolutely crush you. That's the true path to success, and you'll soon find out!"

Flanders is spouting nonsense here.

The students from Tianshui Academy couldn't stand it anymore.

Xue Wu frowned and whispered, "Damn it! Can he please stop bragging! If this continues, people will suspect that Tianshui Academy is deliberately causing trouble, and in the end, it will ruin our reputation!"

Shuiyue'er said with a smile:

"They were quite entertaining, but they're not wrong; they were never a match for us to begin with. Now that Yu Tianheng is gone, if they get a replacement, they're doomed to lose!"

Shui Bing'er shook her head slightly, remained silent, and kept looking at the entrance.

At this moment, just when everyone at Huangdou Academy was in a state of utter distress.

Dugu Yan finally brought Xiao in.

Since there are no cameras or similar devices in Douluo Continent, Xiao, although wanted by the authorities, will not be recognized unless he appears in a bizarre way.

The members of the Royal Fighting Team hurriedly gathered around, their expressions varying as they looked at Xiao beside Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan ran away because Yu Tianheng was angry, and they actually harbored some resentment towards each other.

They only suppressed their dissatisfaction after Dugu Yan said she could find a better substitute.

The result is that Xiao now...
