Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the third floor of the special dormitory, where the moon is high in the sky.

Yu Xin stood on the crescent-shaped windowsill, gazing out at the view. The long wind blew through her hair, making it look like a burning flame.

Footsteps sounded behind her. Yu Xin's lips curled into a slight smile. "Is Na'er asleep?"

"Going to sleep now, I had so much fun today, but I'm also so tired."

Feng Zaixing strolled over, a delicate fragrance filling the air. Yu Xin's long hair fluttered in the breeze, her slender figure concealed by a loose-fitting robe, and her face, freshly washed, was as beautiful as a crabapple in full bloom.

"That's good. Now tell me your plan, I'm listening."

Yu Xin tossed out a top-tier soundproof soul tool, her gaze still fixed on the eternally dark capital.

Feng Zaixing pondered for a moment, then took out a soul-guided light screen, pointed to it, and said leisurely, pointing to the news reports from the Federation in the past two days:

"In the past two days, many places in the Federation have been attacked by evil spirit masters. These guys seem to have planned it all in advance to cause destruction everywhere."

A day has passed, and his trending topic has dropped by half. The top trending topic is now the Federation's upper echelons are extremely furious about the evil soul masters who have wreaked havoc, and they are going to mobilize the core forces such as the Temple of War to crack down on the evil soul masters.

Upon hearing the news, Yu Xin frowned, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, and said, "The old man said that the evil spirit masters' actions are too rampant. He believes it is necessary to organize more forces to deal with these resurgent bastards, and even wants to propose to the council the establishment of a special department to suppress the evil spirit masters."

"The Holy Spirit Cult, dormant for ten thousand years, is likely to stir up trouble on the continent again. You know the Holy Spirit Cult, right?"

"I know. The Sun Moon Empire cooperated with them ten thousand years ago to conquer and destroy the original three kingdoms of Douluo Continent. Later, they turned around and besieged them. The founder of the Spirit Pagoda, Lingbing Douluo, attacked their lair and destroyed their main body."

Feng Zaixing nodded and said with some regret, "But it's a pity that only the main body was destroyed. The Spirit Ice Douluo disappeared too quickly. There are still many small fry who were not wiped out. After ten thousand years, they have developed into a very powerful force, with one emperor, two emperors and four heavenly kings."

"I think Vice Hall Master Yu's idea is very necessary, and I am very suitable to join this kind of dedicated department."

Yu Xin tilted her head to look at him, her eyes flashing, and smiled, "What? Want to join the army early? The army won't accept a kid like you."

"Special cases should be treated specially. I am, after all, a young genius who personally killed four evil soul masters. My strength is sufficient to be included."

Feng Zaixing remained calm despite having his thoughts exposed, and asked unhurriedly, "And I remember, a mecha pilot with the cultivation of a Soul King is qualified to serve as a lieutenant colonel?"

"But you're neither a Soul King nor a Mech Pilot now," Yu Xin reminded her.

"It was only a matter of time. My mother's rank of Major General was reduced by three levels to Lieutenant Colonel, right? After my father's death, the Federation posthumously awarded him the rank of Lieutenant General."

Feng Zaixing feigned deep regret and backed down, saying, "If all else fails, I'll take a loss and start as a major. I can become a full-fledged Soul Master once I've accumulated enough experience."

"Alright, alright, I'll talk to the old man. If the Federation doesn't approve the proposal, I'll have him add you to the Central Legion's staff," Yu Xin said, waving her hand.

Feng Zaixing's eyes lit up, and he said with great interest:

"That's great. I suggest establishing an agency like the 'Federal Bureau of Investigation' or the 'Central Legion Evil Soul Master Intelligence Investigation Department' to make it seem more dignified..."

"Why are you even more eager to kill evil spirit masters than my old man? It's like the Angel Family." Yu Xin said in a low voice, finding it intriguing.

Feng Zaixing shook his head and laughed: "That's not the point. The point is that having this identity makes things easier. We need to kill evil soul masters and also get our hands on top-tier natural treasures. My method is very simple. To sum it up, it's about escalating the issue and robbing Shi Tang."

"Snapped!"

Yu Xin sighed, a look of "I knew it" on her face, and said speechlessly, "My dear little brother, you don't think Shrek Tang Sect is so easy to take, do you? When did you become so stupid?"

"It's not easy to rob them. We can't just get something for nothing. We can arrest them first."

Feng Zaixing had his arms draped over his shoulders, holding the back of his head, looking very relaxed.

Yu Xin rolled her eyes, even more speechless, but reason told her that Feng Zaixing wouldn't be stupid enough to attack Shrek City.

"...Who do you want to arrest?"

"Whoever launches a terrorist attack in Mingdu, I will arrest them." Feng Zaixing's brows furrowed, and his expression turned serious.

"Who would dare to carry out a terrorist attack in Mingdu... Wait a minute!"

Yu Xin answered casually, then suddenly realized something, her dark eyes widening in surprise as she exclaimed:

"You're going to capture Shrek Academy students who came to Mingdu for their final exams?!"

"That's right. At the end of each semester, Shrek Academy confiscates all the students' belongings and requires them to fight their way from Shrek City to Mingdu."

For years, Shrek cadets have frequently attacked and robbed passersby for money, prompting the city defense team to launch secondary attacks. Isn't this the behavior of terrorists?

Feng Zaixing countered with a question, his clear pupils reflecting the myriad lights of the city, yet radiating a chilling aura, as if he had suddenly transformed into a different person. He solemnly replied:

"To pass their final exams, they resorted to all sorts of desperate measures. Some waited outside the Spirit Tower, some attacked federal government offices, and some even stormed military camps. How are their actions any different from those of the Holy Spirit Church?"

"Shrek deliberately designed the final exam this way to plant a subconscious seed in the students: the Federation is nothing but a fart, while Shrek people can be high above and above everything, and under that guise, they can break all federal laws without any consequences!"

"Young people are the easiest to shape their character and the easiest to be deceived. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult to change."

Shrek Academy uses this method to cultivate the Federation's most outstanding geniuses into generations of loyal followers, then sends these students back to control the Federation and maintain their status as an independent kingdom—like a persistent, intractable disease, impossible to eradicate.

"Does my sister think I'm right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Xin was stunned. Her dark eyes, which had been hidden in her gaze, froze, and her heart was filled with turbulent thoughts.

Feng Zaixing's words hit the nail on the head. Even within the family, the elders would at most complain a few times, but they would never reveal Shrek's true nature so bluntly in front of her.

Kidnapping the Federation's best students and establishing a country within a country is precisely what makes Shrek Academy so feared.

A short while later.

Yu Xin calmed herself down and sighed softly, "You're right, but this isn't something we can solve right now... Your plan has some merit, but the Yu family and the academy alone can't suppress Shi Tang."

"So, they're making a mountain out of a molehill and escalating the situation."

Feng Zaixing looked nonchalant and said, "I can use my identity as the last descendant of the Blood God. Uncle Han Tai can bring the Spirit Pagoda into the picture, and Qian Gu Dong Feng will be happy to kick it while it's down. Palace Master Chen is a hawk and has always been at odds with Shrek Academy. As for the Yue family in the south, I have a reason to force them to step in."

"The Minister of the Army comes from the Xu family and controls three legions. No one wants to suppress Shi Tang more than them; as long as they all step forward, the Shen family and the Guo family will have no other choice."

"At worst, we can drag all the major powers in the Federation into this mess and turn the world upside down. We can negotiate the rest later."

Upon hearing the news, Yu Xin pondered for a long time, took a deep breath, and looked at Feng Zaixing with a complicated expression. This plan was too crazy.

"Xiao Feng, do you know how much of an impact this will have?"

"We've considered it, so on the surface, we're just trying to protect the citizens of Mingdu and stop the Shrek Academy students from launching a terrorist attack. We're on the side of righteousness, and we have a clear reason for our actions."

Feng Zaixing gazed at the vast starry sky and chuckled, "However, the incident occurred at the entrance of the Spirit Pagoda."

"Shrek cadets not only attacked civilians, but also seriously injured me, a descendant of the Blood God Legion who was protecting the lives of civilians. The video was uploaded to the Soul Network, arousing public outrage from the military and the people, who demanded that the Federation condemn Shrek."

"Of course, it's not that I was actually seriously injured by those idiots. I can fake it afterward. I could even stab myself twice."

"I've got the trending headline in mind: 'The orphan of a Federal Lieutenant General was protecting the lives of Federal citizens at the Spirit Tower in the capital when he was attacked by Shrekians and is now in grave danger. Where is the Federal's sense of public duty?'"

"If the five major families don't step in, those big shots can just wait for the morale of the army to collapse and the people to take to the streets in protest. At least the Blood God Legion can't withstand this kind of blow, and they can weigh the consequences themselves."

Or perhaps they hope their descendants will suffer the same fate after they die; if they aren't even afraid of that, then I have nothing to say, but I fear their elders and children won't agree.

Feng Zaixing looked at Yu Xin with an innocent expression: "To be honest, Yu Minglong and Ning Yue from Shrek Academy's outer courtyard don't like me. They didn't dare to cause me trouble this year, but they might bring more students to cause trouble next year."

"They caused trouble, we are the victims. Shrek Academy's outstanding students have a tradition of joining the Tang Sect. It's not unreasonable for the Shrek and Tang families to ask them for some compensation, is it?"

"If things go well, he might even thank us and beg us for benefits to quell the trouble."

Let's stir up trouble, who's afraid of who? If we can't kill Shrek right now, we'll at least ruin their reputation.

I don't bet that your Federation is united, but I bet that you dare not let the Blood God Legion's morale be shaken; I bet that none of you want your descendants to suffer such a fate after your death, with no one caring and your own people feeling disheartened!

I also know that many of you deeply hate Shrek Academy but are powerless to do anything about it. I'm giving you a chance—a legitimate opportunity to suppress Shrek Academy's reputation and elevate yourselves!

With our stance set, we should take the initiative. Putting aside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, which the Tang Sect is guarding closely, the supreme inheritance of the Body Sect, "The Secret of the Body," which Du Bu Si entrusted to Dai Yu Hao to pass on to the Body Sect members ten thousand years ago, has yet to be seen. It is probably gathering dust in the Sea God Pavilion.

The predecessors were blind, and the successors fill the gaps. He Fengzaixing is the future leader of the sect and cannot tolerate the loss of the sect's highest lineage while remaining indifferent.

One word: Do it!

Yu Xin's expression changed for a moment, then she nodded slightly and said decisively, "I'll take care of these preparations. Your military rank will be in place. I'll go crazy with you to the very end."

"Don't bear this alone. I promised you I'd always stand by you!"
