Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

"Federal Central News Agency reports that Shrek Academy and Tang Sect have responded actively to the recent terrorist attack launched by a Shrek Academy student and Tang Sect disciple in the Federation."

"The Sea God Pavilion's Vice Pavilion Master, Holy Spirit Douluo, and the Tang Sect's Vice Sect Master, Amorous Douluo, led a delegation to engage in full exchanges with the Federation delegation, witnessed by the two Tower Masters of the Spirit Pagoda. They frankly exchanged opinions, admitted their mistakes, and offered apologies and compensation."

"We are now broadcasting footage of five Shrek Academy students publicly apologizing and repenting for their crimes."

In all eighteen first-tier cities across the Federation, the same content was projected onto open-air soul-guided light screens:

Yu Minglong, Ning Yue, and the other five Shrek Academy students appeared one by one, weeping bitterly and prostrating themselves in repentance for their acts of terrorism, and begging for forgiveness from the academy and the public.

The most emotional of all was Ma Tianjun, the Evil Phoenix. His eyes were dull and lifeless. After apologizing, he slammed his head against the prison door and never got up again.

Cai Yue'er appeared on the screen, claiming that "Shrek Academy has a strict school discipline and does not allow students to misbehave. All four students who made mistakes have been placed on probation, and Ma Tianjun, whose offense was the most serious, has been expelled."

After the segment was shown, Feng Zaixing in the broadcasting studio of Mingdu Broadcasting Building looked disgusted, but he continued his speech, bringing his internship to a close.

"Due to the 'Law on the Protection of Minors,' the remaining four students will serve more than ten years in prison at Mingdu Prison after reaching adulthood. The Federation firmly says no to any privileged class, not even the former top academy on the continent!"

"Cherish life, stay away from terrorist attacks. We urge all Soul Masters to enhance their legal awareness, respect the law, and not knowingly break the law. Protecting the life and safety of every citizen is the strong voice of the Federation. Any act of terrorism will be brought to justice."

"Finally, I wish all the affected citizens and the four genius heroes of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy a speedy recovery."

After saying that, Feng Zaixing put down the microphone and soul guide, lay back in the chair and let out a long breath, his mission accomplished.

"Clap clap clap..."

Makino and Aruheng applauded enthusiastically. Makino smiled and said, "I didn't know you had this talent."

"Of course, what can't your apprentice do?"

Feng Zaixing clapped his hands and said, "After much planning, we've finally wrapped up filming. I'm exhausted as the director."

Aruheng chuckled and praised, "The Secret of the Body has returned to our sect; Junior Brother, you have made a great contribution."

"This is nothing; the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well will be the real show later."

Feng Zaixing rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "I heard that the Tang Clan has set up many obstacles outside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Let's use the Ice and Fire Token to go through the process, and then we can dig a tunnel to get there easily."

"Hehe, the old man likes that. We should act when the time is right and not be polite to others."

Le Zhengyang and Han Tianyi sat facing each other, playing chess. When they heard Feng Zaixing's words, they cheered loudly.

Everyone nodded. Yu Xin, who was brewing tea in the distance, fiddled with the teacup and said, "But I didn't expect Shrek Academy to be so ruthless, making Ma Tianjun commit suicide to atone for his sins and cleanse himself completely."

Han Tianyi fiddled with the chess pieces and said, "My spiritual power has been monitoring that place all along. It was Cai Yue'er who made Ma Tianjun commit suicide. She promised Ma Tianjun to treat his sister well."

"Of course, the Holy Spirit Douluo and the others tacitly approved of Cai Yue'er doing this."

"It's not surprising; his death was more significant than his entire life."

With a flick of his toes, Feng Zaixing turned the recliner 180 degrees and said leisurely:

"After all, I've crippled him, and the Ma family has been wiped out and is still infamous. He's useless except for dying. It's better to give my sister a better future. Of course, that is, if Cai Yue'er isn't lying to him."

"Even his death would be a relief. The other four didn't die, but they'll never have the chance to inherit the family business in this lifetime."

At this moment, Wang Wen and Xu Miao carried hot dishes out of the kitchen, and Long Chen brought in two cases of beer, turned on some music, and cheered:

"Boss, we've won a resounding victory this time, shall we celebrate?"

"Then let's go together."

Feng Zaixing laughed and jumped down to join the victory celebration.

He opened a bottle of beer and blurted out a few words without thinking:

"Our business has achieved initial success, but we must continue to work hard. Six Stars Club, keep it up! Let's all give it our all!"

"Go for it!" Everyone raised their glasses and drank it down.

……

On this day, Mingdu was brightly lit and decorated, while Shrek was shrouded in gloom.

"The five great families are threatening us, and the Spirit Pagoda is joining in too! Then let's fight! How can we yield? How can we pay such a high price!"

Inside the Sea God Pavilion, Long Yeyue flew into a rage upon hearing Ya Li's reply and overturned the conference table.

"Yali, you are too soft-hearted. I believe you are no longer suitable to be the deputy head of the Sea God Pavilion!"

With her hands resting on the edge of the table, Long Yeyue glanced at Ya Li with a furious look of dissatisfaction.

Yun Ming sighed and flashed in front of Ya Li, shielding the negotiation team behind him, and shook his head, saying:

"Sister Yue, Ya Li and the others have done everything they could. The price they paid wasn't actually that high."

Zhuoshi and Feng Wuyu nodded in agreement, firmly standing on Yunming's side.

Aside from the Ice and Fire Token, the Federation certainly needs a considerable number of spirit objects and soul bones, but Shrek Academy is a large and powerful family with allies to help them reach the bill.

The four students are geniuses at the level of prospective young masters of these reclusive sects. Even if they lose their right to succession, the four sects will still have to pay their dues.

Hundreds of billions of Federal Credits sound daunting, but Shrek City has an independent economic system. Its internal circulation doesn't require Federal Credits, and people give them away for free every year.

Since the Ice and Fire Token wasn't issued by Shrek Academy, Zang Xin didn't object.

The Tang Sect will not help the Federation's geniuses obtain immortal items; their success depends entirely on themselves.

If the new Shrek Seven Devils need it, they can just go through the trouble of obtaining immortal items; there are plenty of them there anyway.

In Yunming's eyes, these costs were acceptable, and the blame couldn't be placed on his wife.

However, Long Yeyue firmly refused.

"Is the price important? The important thing is that Shrek Academy bowed down! How could Shrek Academy bow down to the Federation? Yun Ming, where did your former arrogance go! You're such a traitor to Shrek Academy!"

She stared intently at Yun Ming, her face filled with dissatisfaction towards him.

"well……"

Yun Ming sighed softly, his refined demeanor suddenly changing. He raised his hand and grasped at the air, and a long spear, completely transparent and surrounded by incandescent light, appeared in his hand.

He slammed his spear into the ground with a loud bang, and a powerful arc of energy rapidly spread from beneath his feet, surging towards Long Yeyue.

Long Yeyue's pupils trembled, and she retreated seven or eight steps in an instant, trying to avoid the sharp edge of the Sky-Piercing Divine Spear.

However, the spearhead was as sharp as lightning, leaving her no room to dodge.

As the spear's edge flashed past, Long Yeyue was struck as if by lightning, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

She leaned against the tree wall, her voice trembling with fear, and asked, "Yun Ming, what do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, Yunming just wanted to remind Sister Yue of something."

Yun Ming gripped the gun with one hand, his eyes narrowed, his gaze sharp as a blade.

"In this Sea God Pavilion, I, Yun Ming, am the true master; the ultimate decision-maker in Shrek City is me, not you!"

"I appointed Ya Li as the deputy pavilion master, and I also made the decision regarding this matter. Zang Xin has no objections, so what right do you have to criticize Ya Li! You're meddling too much!"

Yunming could tolerate Long Yeyue in other matters, but Yali was his most beloved wife. He couldn't stand being with her all the time, so how could he tolerate this old woman, Long Yeyue, nagging in his ear?

Yun Ming shouted, "Don't think that I've lost my former sharpness just because I haven't used the Sky-Piercing Divine Spear yet, Sister Yue; I'll do anything for Ya Li!"

"You've been through this before, you know Yun Ming's personality!"

The older generation of powerful figures on the continent all know about your mess with the Vast Ocean Douluo back then; I gave you some leeway because of my teacher's passing, but you can't be ungrateful!

In Douluo Continent, romance comes first; if you piss me off, sending you to meet your teacher is just a matter of one shot!

"You... I understand."

Long Yeyue tried to release her spiritual power, but in just a moment, she saw a chilling abyss in Yun Ming's eyes and dared not say another word.

Seeing that Long Yeyue finally bowed her head, Yun Ming's icy expression melted away. He sheathed his Sky-Piercing Divine Spear, turned his back, took Ya Li's hand, and walked away, saying from afar:

"Sister Yue is getting old, it's best for her to enjoy her retirement. You won't need to worry about the Sea God Pavilion anymore; I will nominate your disciple Lan Muzi as a prospective elder to fill the vacancy."

"You... haha, it seems I really am old, really old..."

Long Yeyue looked at the elders who left with Yun Ming, and the empty Sea God Pavilion. Her face showed an extremely ashen expression, as if all her spirit had been drained.

"He dedicated his entire life to Shrek Academy, yet this is how he ends up. Heh heh heh..."

……

On the shore of the East China Sea.

Outside Donghai Academy, several figures gazed into the distance.

Di Tian stood behind a phantom figure and respectfully said:

"My lord, based on our observations, Tang Wulin, a freshman who is cultivating in this Soul Master Academy, does indeed possess the essence of the Golden Dragon King. Feng Zaixing is telling the truth."
