Douluo Continent: Dragon God Bei Bei, who dominated the continent for ten thousand years

The streets were clean and tidy again. The law enforcement teams acted very quickly and left as soon as they finished.

"I didn't expect you to be from Shrek Academy. Thank you for your help today," Tang Ya's father quickly stepped forward and expressed his gratitude.

Zhang Lexuan didn't say anything, she just stood quietly beside Beibei and watched.

She didn't care about the Tang Clan at all; all she cared about was Bei Bei.

"The Tang Sect and Shrek Academy have a long history, it's just a small favor," Bei Bei waved her hand.

He continued, "What are your plans next? Although we've helped you eliminate the threat from the Iron Blood Sect, there's no guarantee that other sects won't harbor ill intentions towards the Tang Sect."

"The Tang Clan has declined to this point, and no one is willing to buy our hidden weapons anymore. We can only do our best to maintain it," Tang Ya's father said with some resentment.

"Haven't you ever thought about making changes? You know, Tang Clan's hidden weapons are ancient artifacts from ten thousand years ago. Perhaps they have some exquisite aspects, but they can no longer keep up with the times," Bei Bei said.

"I understand, but how can the laws of our ancestors be changed at will?" Tang Ya's father stubbornly shook his head, seemingly quite opposed to soul tools.

Beibei was speechless for a moment after hearing his words, feeling utterly dumbfounded.

After calming down, Bei Bei continued, "Have you considered relocating the Tang Sect to Shrek City first, under the protection of Shrek Academy? This way, you can better develop the Tang Sect and recruit disciples."

In fact, Bei Bei didn't care about the rise and fall of the Tang Sect; what he truly valued was the Tang Sect's ability to combine hidden weapons with soul tools.

Many of the Tang Sect's mechanical hidden weapons do not require soul power to activate. If they could be integrated with soul tool technology, Shrek Academy's soul tool department would definitely develop more rapidly, narrowing the gap with the Sun Moon Empire.

Beibei knew very well that the Sun Moon Empire would launch a war in a little over ten years, and Shrek Academy would inevitably be on the front lines of the war.

However, due to the fear of the three great empires, Shrek Academy does not have its own army, and even the number of teachers in the academy is limited.

Beibei wanted to turn the Tang Sect into an affiliated force of Shrek Academy, so that the Tang Sect would remain independent on the surface, but would be controlled and managed by Shrek Academy in secret.

In this way, the Tang Sect could become Shrek Academy's clandestine base for storing soldiers and weapons.

Upon hearing this, Tang Ya's father frowned slightly. As the former leader of the Tang Clan, once the most powerful sect in the world...

He naturally possessed his own pride and was unwilling to live under someone else's roof, so he politely declined.

Seeing this, Beibei stopped trying to persuade her.

Faced with such a rigid, self-important, and stubborn person, no matter how he tries to persuade them, the other person is unlikely to change their mind.

If the other party could be easily persuaded, why would it be Beibei's turn to waste her breath?

Many sects and forces on the mainland turned to the research and development of soul tools after the arrival of the Sun and Moon Continent.

He refused to believe that none of the forces that the Tang Clan had allied with could persuade them not to cling to tradition and simply rely on their past achievements!

For over four thousand years, the entire continent has been absorbing the new things brought about by the collision of the Sun and Moon continents.

But the Tang Clan has remained unchanged and made no progress in the past four thousand years.

Those sects and forces that were once on good terms with the Tang Clan have probably long since given up on them.

Because they had seen through the true nature of the Tang Clan—a bunch of good-for-nothings.

Even the strongest bonds of affection may have faded over thousands of years.

If one has no tangible benefits to offer, who would be willing to help the Tang Clan, this bottomless pit of ruin?

Beibei looked at Tang Ya's parents, then finally smiled at Tang Ya and said, "In that case, I look forward to seeing you again next time. It shouldn't be too long."

Without waiting for a response, he pulled Zhang Lexuan away.

"Dad, why don't we do as Big Brother says? That way, our Tang Clan might be able to rebuild itself." Tang Ya looked at her father with some confusion.

"Xiaoya, you must remember that even if our Tang Clan falls into decline, it was once the number one sect. We have our own pride and our own honor!" Tang Ya's father said in a deep voice.

"Dad is right! The Tang Clan is the most powerful!" Tang Ya said softly, still a little confused, in agreement with her father.

"Xiaoya, you're absolutely right! Today, Dad will teach you how to use the Dragon Beard Needle, how about that?" Tang Ya's father replied with great satisfaction.

"That's great!" Tang Ya exclaimed excitedly.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Ya and her family of three entered the gates of the Tang Clan.

Meanwhile, Beibei and Zhang Lexuan were preparing to go back.

"Beibei, you seem to be in a bad mood." Zhang Lexuan looked at Beibei, who had been expressionless and had stopped smiling the whole way, and asked with some concern.

"All I see is a pool of mud, heading down the path of destruction," Beibei said softly.

"Every path is one's own choice, and even if there's a sheer cliff ahead, you have to grit your teeth and keep going," Zhang Lexuan said with a smile.

She couldn't help but recall the vow she had made to Old Master Mu: no matter what, her life would belong to Beibei, and that vow would never be changed.

"Yeah! There's no need to let a puddle of mud ruin your mood..." Beibei smiled, regaining her sunny and cheerful demeanor.

"Sister Lexuan, let's go for a walk over there!" Beibei pointed to a street and pulled Zhang Lexuan along.

Not long after, Zhang Lexuan led Shrek Academy to successfully defeat Sun Moon Academy in the finals and win the championship of this year's Soul Master Competition.

After receiving the award, Elder Xuan led the Shrek Academy students back home.

Upon returning to Shrek Academy, Beibei received some good news.

He had previously asked someone to go to the Starlight Auction House in Star Luo City to inquire about the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade.

Now there is finally news: the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife has appeared at the auction and was bought by someone arranged by Bei Bei. It has now been delivered to Shrek Academy.

The Soul-Devouring Carving Knife ranks ninety-ninth among the listed carving knives. It was made by a genius soul master from the Sun and Moon Continent three thousand years ago, using a piece of living gold as its material.

However, due to improper use, the carving knife was corrupted by evil forces, forming a vicious curse that would continuously devour the user's life force, eventually turning it into a notorious and deadly weapon.

Bebe was confident that, with the power of light from Elder Mu and the Golden Tree, they could purify the curse and evil power of the carving knife and restore its true form.

Beibei eagerly opened the box containing the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife, and a fierce aura spread out, the chilling atmosphere making the room even colder.

A carving knife, about the thickness of a finger and half a foot long, lay quietly in the box.

This carving knife has an ancient and simple design, is entirely black, and is surrounded by a wisp of black aura, exuding an extremely evil aura.
