Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

Feng Zaixing refused Shrek Academy's invitation decisively, and the scene fell into silence.

Shen Yi's enthusiastic smile froze, and Yu Minglong and Ning Yue's expressions changed drastically, their faces filled with disbelief, even doubting whether they were deaf.

Shrek Academy's inner court is the number one holy land for soul masters, how could anyone refuse? That's the goal they've been striving for!

The two felt like victims who had witnessed their goddess, whom they had admired for so long, making an invitation to someone else, only to be ruthlessly rejected. Their emotions were mixed and indescribable.

Mu Ye's face lit up with unprecedented joy, even more so than when the Body Sect was about to become famous throughout the continent.

Who does Shrek Academy think they are? They kick out all the invitations they receive!

"No... this... little friend, you may not understand the significance of Shrek Inner Academy yet. Let me explain it to you, and then you can make a decision."

If anyone else had done this, Shen Yi would have sneered. However, Feng Zaixing's talent far surpassed Yu Minglong's, so she decided to give a proper introduction to her family's glorious achievements.

A golden light of piety seemed to emanate from her face as she spoke in a measured, rhythmic voice:

"Shrek Inner Academy has been the best on the continent for 20,000 years. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was once fortunate enough to be compared with us, but they have always been second for 10,000 years."

"That was before I went there; things were different after I went."

Feng Zaixing remained unmoved, pointed to Yu Minglong and Ning Yue behind Shen Yi, and calmly said:

"If I were their age, they wouldn't have a chance to make a move against me. These two should be the strongest second-year students in your outer academy, geniuses destined for the inner academy, right?"

"My words may offend you, but it is the truth: I do not have any yellow spirit rings."

"you!"

Yu Minglong and Ning Yue both changed color. Their soul rings were two yellow and one purple, and these words really hit a nerve.

So what if you have two yellow and one purple spirit rings? You've only improved your physical attributes and increased the age of your spirit rings with the help of your elders! What we're aiming for is to unleash your power later on!

Shen Yi was taken aback by the remark, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but Mu Ye, standing beside him, dared not retaliate and patiently said:

"I admit you have extraordinary talent, but even the finest rough gem needs an excellent environment and skilled craftsmen to carve it. Shrek Academy not only has an excellent cultivation environment, but also the best teachers on the continent to guide your cultivation."

Shen Yi's expression softened, and his tone became proud: "You might even have the opportunity to be taught by one of the legendary elders of the Sea God Pavilion; my teacher was one of them."

Feng Zaixing looked at Mu Ye: "Teacher?"

Mu Ye's lips curled into a smile, and nine spirit rings—five black and four red—emerged. His calm voice carried an undeniable air of dominance.

"I don't know who your teacher is, but neither the Twin Holy Dragons nor that crazy woman Silver Moon Douluo are qualified to snatch people from me, Mu Ye."

"If you don't believe me, let them try."

As a four-word battle armor master and god-level mecha master, Mu Ye only feared the two Shrek Academy experts, namely Sky Douluo Yun Ming and Light and Dark Douluo Long Ye Yue, and disregarded the rest.

So what if you're a Super Douluo? Once my four-word battle armor is revealed, you'll all behave yourselves!

Shen Yi's face paled, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Since that's the case, then this time I'll consider it my rudeness. Please forgive me, Sect Master."

"Let's go."

Knowing he couldn't stay there any longer, Shen Yi waved his hand and led Yu Minglong and Ning Yue away.

Although the Body Sect, which had long since declined, was not as good as Shrek Academy's inner court, the sect leader's personal instruction was a different story.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; you can't get away with this even if your own teacher comes.

On the way, Shen Yi grew angrier and angrier, and sneered, "You all saw it. Our old rivals are about to welcome two exceptionally talented individuals. Although their choice of academy was incredibly foolish, they are destined to regret it in the future."

"But they are very talented. Starting next semester, the difficulty of your training will increase, and if you don't complete it, you will lose contribution points."

"...Yes, Teacher Shen."

Yu Minglong and Ning Yue exchanged wry smiles. Shrek Academy's training tasks were not easy, and losing contribution points was even more unbearable.

"That despicable guy humiliated me in public! Once I break through to the fourth ring, I'll make him pay in Mingdu!"

Yu Minglong secretly hardened his heart, realizing that in addition to Xu Miao, he now had another person to deal with.

……

When the train accident occurred, the people from Tiandou City arrived very quickly. Mo Lan's father, Mo Wu, the governor of Tiandou City and a federal councilor, arrived at the scene immediately to visit his daughter and comfort the affected people.

The enthusiastic citizens, led by Mu Ye and Feng Zaixing, and their group of brave rescue workers received warm thanks. Mo Wu, on behalf of Tian Dou City, awarded them the "Honorary Citizen of Tian Dou City" badge, and the two sides had a very pleasant conversation.

The title of "Honorary Citizen of Tiandou City" is the highest honor in Tiandou City. With this badge, one can enjoy a 20% discount on all purchases in Tiandou City.

The group happily accepted the package, gave a brief explanation, and then boarded Makino's red mecha and flew straight to Mingdu.

Makino stated that he did not believe he could encounter an evil spirit master while traveling by air!

At the disaster site, Mo Wu watched as the red mecha turned into a small red dot, and then suddenly sighed.

"Dad, what's wrong? Are you worried about the evil spirit master?" Mo Lan asked.

"Of course, evil spirit masters are worried, but that's not all..."

The red mecha disappeared, and Mo Wu's expression was complex:

"It's good that the Body Sect is saving the people and fighting against evil soul masters, but their close ties with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy may have some impact on the Federation's situation."

"The hawks already have too many powerful supporters..."

Mo Lan remained silent. Her father was a representative of the dove faction, and the two factions had been arguing about various issues for a long time.

Shrek Academy is the strongest supporter of the doves and neutrals, while Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is a supporter of the hawks.

"At least for now, we still have Shrek Academy to support us, don't we?" Mo Lan said.

Mo Wu smiled with relief upon hearing this, "That's right, as long as Shrek Academy exists, we doves will always have a strong backing."

After saying that, he raised an eyebrow and his voice became low: "However, Shrek Academy didn't contribute much to this incident, and it will soon cause a stir on the Soul Network."

Mo Lan said nonchalantly, "To be honest, if it weren't for their help, there probably wouldn't be any survivors on this train, and you wouldn't be here to see me."

Mo Wu shook his head: "It's hard to say. The two families have been at odds for thousands of years. It's rare for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to have the upper hand over Shrek Academy."

"Moreover, Feng Zaixing's talent is truly remarkable. He killed four evil soul masters in a row. If word of this battle gets out, he will definitely be listed on the list of young geniuses."

Mo Lan asked, puzzled, "So what? They really are talented. Shrek Academy is full of geniuses; would they really care about such a small matter?"

"Normally not..." Mo Wu seemed to remember something and stopped talking.

……

When Makino landed his mecha in Mingdu, it was already dark.

Xu Miao dialed the dean's hotline, and a very excited, energetic voice quickly came from the other end of the communicator.

"Good, good, good, Xiao Xu, you all did a great job. I saw it all on the Soul Network. Quickly bring Sect Master Mu of the Body Sect, Zaixing, Long Chen and the others over. All of you come here, we've prepared the camera positions."

Xu Miao was taken aback: "Camera position?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Our core students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy have done such a great thing; it's an honor for our entire academy!"

Luan Hongchen was in high spirits: "Perhaps you don't know yet, the Spirit Pagoda has updated the list of young geniuses. Zaixing has entered the list, ranking twentieth. He is nicknamed Divine Arrow and is the youngest person to ever be on the list."

"This is even considering his young age, low soul power, and lack of secondary profession abilities; otherwise, he would have been ranked at least five places higher..."

"I have contacted many friends in the media and spread the video of Zai Xing shooting four evil soul masters with an arrow all over the Soul Network. Let our little hero come quickly."

Upon hearing the news, Feng Zaixing's expression turned strange; he felt as if something dirty had gotten on him.

And who recorded the video and posted it on the Soul Network? The speed at which those disaster-stricken passengers pulled out their phones was comparable to that of the onlookers on Earth!

Upon activating his soul guide device, Feng Zaixing discovered that the top ten trending topics on the Soul Network were all related to the attack that had occurred that day, with some of the headlines being extremely sensational.

"Radiant Arrow, a new generation of unparalleled archery gods of the Federation has emerged!" "Those who offend our Federation, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy will punish them no matter how far away they are!" "Students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy will always fight on the front line to protect the lives of citizens!"

These people dare to write it, but even Feng Zaixing wouldn't dare to acknowledge it.

Scrolling down, only the third trending topic had a somewhat normal title. Clicking on it revealed a video announcement from the official Tian Dou City account. The first photo was a golden ratio photo of Mo Wu awarding Feng Zaixing the badge, and both of them looked genuinely happy.

"This is like putting me on the hot seat; luckily, they didn't use their full strength."

Feng Zaixing secretly rejoiced.

When the group arrived at the gate of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, which was 500 meters away, as guided by the guide, they found themselves there.

Eight cannon salutes rang out in unison, and dazzling fireworks formed a line of gilded characters clearly visible in the full light above the academy's dome:

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy welcomes Sect Master Mu Ye and his disciples, and welcomes Divine Arrow Feng Zaixing to formally enroll!

The booming sound of cannons was colorful, golden avenues stretched across the sky, and fireworks illuminated the entire college.

Dozens of soul power figures walked towards them, led by a kind-looking, prosperous old man with a broad smile.

"Welcome to Mingdu, Brother Makino, and our little hero."
