Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

"Boss, you're amazing! We missed you so much!"

Long Chen gave him a bear hug. Nourished by the Holy Dragon of Light and his soul power, he had grown to a height of 1.7 meters, making him exceptionally tall and upright.

However, he was still a head shorter than the tall and slender Feng Zaixing. He smiled slightly, a hint of approval on his face.

"Third Ring Road, looks like they haven't been slacking off this year."

Long Chen chuckled and said modestly, "If I still can't get ahead with the resources I got from Shrek Academy, I'll have to find a block of tofu and smash my head against it."

"Boss, you were already in the Third Ring Road a year ago. I'll never catch up to you in my lifetime."

A year ago, Yali signed the "Mingdu Agreement," a humiliating treaty that cost the school its rights. Together with her old friends, the Shangsan Sect and the Human-Faced Demon Spider Clan, she paid a sum of money in spirit items and soul bones.

Thanks to the fact that all four people involved were students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, 50% of these resources were given to the academy, from which Long Chen directly benefited.

In addition to rare and precious materials, he also absorbed a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone to enhance his foundation.

Feng Zaixing received his share in full, including not only the spirit object and soul bone but also Federal currency. However, the compensation was not very useful to him, so he donated it to the academy in his personal name to establish scholarships and student loans.

Yu Xin recorded her earnings in the Six Stars Association's public account as operating funds.

After that, the Six Stars Society stepped into the limelight and rose to fame, becoming a rising star among the club organizations of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Over the past year, Feng Zaixing has been in seclusion, with Yu Xin, Wang Wen, and Xu Miao in charge of affairs. They have already recruited dozens of elite students and are beginning to take shape.

Sometimes, even Feng Zaixing felt that he, as the president, was a bit of a hands-off manager.

"You've all worked hard this year, so let's treat our time in Donghai as a break."

Feng Zaixing fully acknowledged their efforts, then walked up to Mu Chen and bowed slightly, "Uncle-Master, how are you feeling?"

"Good, good, very good! Your teacher Tian Duan is fine, so what could possibly happen to me?"

Mu Chen stepped forward and helped Feng Zaixing up, his eyes brimming with joy. He smiled and said, "Your presence is a great honor for the Tianhai Alliance."

"Uncle-Master, you flatter me. I was just looking for evil spirit masters along the way and stopped by your place to rest."

Feng Zaixing smiled gently, then his expression turned serious as he asked, "By the way, have there been any terrorist attacks here recently? If they're not too troublesome, I'll take care of them for you."

Mu Chen paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Not recently. During the Tianhai Grand Competition, all the experts in the East China Sea are focused here, and the East China Sea Legion is also secretly observing. No one dares to act rashly."

"That's a pity," Feng Zaixing said with some regret.

Having fought my way here from the south, I only found eight evil spirit masters. Apart from the three abacus vegetables near Yuanen's house, the rest were just small fry, not even enough to fill a tooth gap.

Where have all those damned evil spirit masters gone? They dare to attack the soul-guided train but don't dare to fight them?

At this moment, Mu Xi, who was behind Mu Chen, suddenly chuckled and revealed a mysterious expression, saying:

"Junior brother, don't be discouraged. Let me tell you, a year ago, a tremendous battle took place in Donghai City. A huge park was razed to the ground."

Mu Xi spread her arms wide and drew big circles, her tone exaggerated.

"During the subsequent investigation, my father discovered the aura of an evil spirit master there."

Feng Zaixing's eyes flashed: "Really?"

Mu Chen's expression turned serious, and he lowered his voice, saying, "It's true, the energy there is extremely chaotic. I guess it's the result of a battle between several powerful warriors at the level of a three-word battle armor master or above. The park has been razed to the ground."

"Afterwards, we found that only one little boy had survived in that area, but he had also passed out and was unaware of anything."

Mu Xi continued, "That little boy also has a great talent for forging. My father took him as his disciple some time ago. His name is Tang Wulin, and he will also be coming to the Tianhai Grand Competition this time."

"Tang Wulin? To be chosen by my martial uncle, he must be extraordinary." Feng Zaixing said with a smile.

Di Tian acted swiftly, even controlling the evil soul master to deplete Tang San's attack opportunities.

Is Tang Wulin being accepted as a disciple a convergence of world lines?

"There's still a big gap between us, but we're much better than Mu Xi."

Mu Chen was generous with his recognition of his disciple, and said with a smile, "It's strange, his martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, but he has a trace of Golden Dragon bloodline in his body, weak but pure, which brings him innate divine power."

"If I can bring out the potential of this bloodline in the future, I might be able to achieve something in the world of Soul Masters."

Feng Zaixing immediately realized that the Star Dou Ferocious Beast Group had exerted its power and had probably broken through several layers of the Golden Dragon King's seal.

That black dragon is something else; he didn't embarrass himself and he's a good man.

"My uncle is telling me this, does he want me to lead him into the outer sect of the Body Sect?" Feng Zaixing's eyes darted around, and he understood the implication in Mu Chen's words.

"That's the idea," Mu Chen nodded and said earnestly.

"Although I would prefer him to make great strides on the path of forging, he has a dream of becoming a powerful Soul Master, so how can I stop him? After all, the next generation of master craftsmen is right before my eyes."

The implication is that if Tang Wulin has a chance to become a Divine Craftsman, Mu Chen naturally hopes to cultivate one; however, with Feng Zaixing's outstanding achievements preceding him, Mu Chen has no choice but to abandon this idea, since an era can only have one Divine Craftsman.

Feng Zaixing quickly waved his hand and said, "You're joking with me, aren't you..."

After chatting and laughing for a while, the group entered the headquarters of the Forging Masters Association and took their seats.

Following at the very back, Yuan En Ye Hui opened her big, dark eyes full of curiosity, like a groundhog that had just broken through the soil and seen the outside world. She followed closely behind Feng Zai Xing cautiously, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wonder.

This is incredible! The class monitor is a forging genius?! The Eight-Star Master Craftsman is my uncle, and the Divine Craftsman is my teacher…

Looking at it this way, it seems that he was ungrateful for the kindness shown to him, since he was teaching him combat techniques step by step.

"Okay, I'll listen carefully in class from now on," Yuan Enhui said, taking out a small red notebook and beginning to adapt to her new life.

Long Chen, who was arm in arm with Le Zhengyu, glanced at Yuan Enyehui out of the corner of his eye, and immediately a warning bell rang.

Oh no, this guy's here to steal my underling position!

"Zhengyu, who is this woman?" Long Chen asked his friend whom he had only known for a few days.

"Don't tell anyone I'm telling you..." Yue Zhengyu glanced around and whispered:

"It was Brother Feng who snatched the Shrek Academy's designated genius."

"As expected of the boss." Long Chen suddenly realized, the boss is indeed the boss, snatching a Shrek Academy inner court genius from the tiger's mouth.

I'll report this to the boss and get the membership application processed.

Xu Miao and Wang Wen arrived soon after, and the group had a welcome dinner at the Forging Association's small canteen, where the atmosphere was harmonious.

After the meal, Mu Chen suggested taking Feng Zaixing to stroll around Tianhai City, and Feng Zaixing readily agreed.

But just then, a phone call came in. Mu Chen answered the call, and his gaze immediately turned strange.

"The Celestial Phoenix of the Spirit Pagoda is bringing her disciples to watch the Heavenly Sea Grand Competition? Who invited this great figure here?"

They thought they had already gone all out by inviting the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's top student, but someone actually brought in a top-tier expert? Does the Spirit Pagoda really support their work?

"Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, disciple," Feng Zaixing keenly picked up on two keywords and asked after Mu Chen hung up the phone:

"Uncle-Master, I haven't paid much attention to external affairs this year. When did Deputy Tower Master Leng take on a successor?"

Mu Chen shook his head to indicate that he did not know, and Le Zhengyu jogged up to explain:

"It is said that half a year ago, an ancient, reclusive family contacted the Phoenix Family. The Heavenly Phoenix Douluo took the young master of that family as his disciple and liked him very much."

"I see." Feng Zaixing understood. The hidden family was probably just a rebranded version of the ferocious beast gang, and the young master was Gu Yue.

Mu Chen said, "The organizers said that the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo will arrive soon. What do you think, Zai Xing?"

"I met Her Majesty the Heavenly Phoenix twice years ago, and we had a very pleasant conversation. If I didn't know, that's fine, but now that I know she's coming, wouldn't it be impolite not to go and meet her?"

Feng Zaixing chuckled lightly and said, "Let's go to the Spirit Pagoda."

"it is good."

……

A moment later, in front of the towering Spirit Transmission Tower in Tianhai City.

Feng Zaixing appeared in the welcoming crowd, his blue trench coat highlighting his extraordinary temperament. He stood with his hands in his pockets, looking relaxed.

In the distant blue sky, a black mech flew by. Unlike Feng Zaixing's fancy maneuvers, it flew very steadily and began to slow down a few thousand meters away from the tower.

Upon landing, the members of the Spirit Pagoda unfurled a banner and spread out a red carpet, chanting in unison, "Welcome the Deputy Pagoda Master for guidance."

Feng Zaixing narrowed his eyes as he looked at the two figures, one tall and one short, who stepped down from the mecha.

Leng Yaozhu was as stunning as ever. In terms of looks alone, she even slightly surpassed the Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li. She was the most beautiful mature woman Feng Zaixing had ever seen.

Her slender, tall figure exuded a captivating fragrance, and her red hair cascaded down to her waist, partially obscuring the young girl beside her.

"No need for formalities. I mainly brought Gu Yue here to broaden her horizons."

Leng Yaozhu raised her hand slightly and moved gracefully to make way for the black-haired girl beside her.

As far as Feng Zaixing knew, she wasn't particularly striking in appearance, but her dark eyes were exceptionally clear, possessing a charm that grew more captivating the more you looked at her.

Seemingly sensing a gaze sweeping over her from the crowd, Gu Yue quickly caught that look and gave that person a slight smile.

"You seem very strong. Would you be interested in exchanging cultivation techniques?"
