Douluo Continent: I Can Summon Heroic Spirits

Chapter 84 The Essence of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; Yu Xiaogang Arrives at Shrek Academy

The top-floor office of the Star Tower branch in Tiandou City.

Nana was buried in a pile of documents, her brow furrowed.

"Knock knock knock—" The knocking sounded on the door.

"Please come in." Nana didn't even look up, her pen scribbling away. "Just put the documents on the table, I'll take care of them right away."

"I didn't expect that, Nana. In less than a year, you've really developed the aura of a big manager."

A familiar voice, tinged with a hint of teasing, rang out in the office.

Nana's pen stopped abruptly. She looked up in disbelief, and the weariness in her eyes vanished the moment she saw who it was.

"Tower Master!"

She was so excited she almost jumped out from behind her desk. But then she noticed the golden figure following Ye Chenxing and quickly stopped, standing properly.

"Sister Xue... Sister Xue."

Qian Renxue nodded, and Nana continued.

"Master, you've finally appeared! I hadn't heard from you for so long, I thought something had happened to you—"

"What, you have so little confidence in your tower master's strength?"

"How could that be! I just..."

""

Ye Chenxing walked over with a smile, pulled out a chair and sat down, waving his hand to interrupt Nana.

"Just kidding. So, how's your new life in Tiandou City been these past six months? Are you satisfied?"

Nana nodded emphatically.

To her, Ye Chenxing was like a second parent, not only saving her parents and pulling her out of the dark and hopeless abyss of the Holy Spirit Cult, but also giving her a place where she could shine.

She can never repay this debt of gratitude; she simply cannot repay it.

"If you like it, that's fine." Ye Chenxing changed the subject, "But I noticed you looked so worried earlier, is there some trouble with the progress at the branch?"

Nana sighed and irritably smoothed the purple highlight in her hair.

"It is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"Oh?" Ye Chenxing became interested.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was the sect of Ning Rongrong, one of the original Shrek Seven Devils. Although it abandoned the Tang Sect like Tang San did, the original Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was one of the top three sects.

Although the three sects have lost their former glory after ten thousand years of change, they are still the largest merchant organization in the Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent, controlling countless economic lifelines.

If we can get in touch with their channels, the civilian soul tools of the Star Tower can definitely spread rapidly throughout the three great empires.

Not only can it save a lot of promotion time, but it can also downplay the sensitive label of "from the Sun and Moon Empire" of the Star Tower.

"What do you mean? They're unwilling to cooperate with us?" Ye Chenxing asked.

"I'm willing, but..."

"9

Nana handed Ye Chenxing a proposal, her tone grave: "They highly value our wind and solar energy conversion technology and our sealed baby bottle technology. They've offered to utilize all the channels and connections the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School had in the original Three Kingdoms to fully support Star Tower's sales."

"Not only that, they even promised not to take a single penny, and to return all the net profit from the sales to our Star Tower."

""

Upon hearing these conditions, Ye Chenxing didn't laugh; instead, he narrowed his eyes: "And the price?"

"The price they paid was that they asked us to share these two core technologies."

After hearing this, Ye Chenxing threw the proposal back onto the table and shook his head.

"It seems that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School can't stand the loneliness anymore and wants to take advantage of the popularity of my Star Tower to return to the forefront of sects in this world."

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's words, seemingly an olive branch, actually concealed a threat.

As local strongmen who have operated in the original Three Kingdoms for tens of thousands of years, they can indeed help Star Tower quickly seize the market if they are willing.

Conversely, if they were to deliberately sabotage the Star Tower, it would be absolutely impossible for it to make any progress in this area.

As for core technologies, he would never hand them over. Although he was not afraid of others buying the products and disassembling and studying them themselves, he had no interest in giving away the blueprints.

More importantly, his promotion of affordable civilian soul tools, besides benefiting ordinary people, was primarily aimed at collecting faith power.

If the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School were to use this for joint sponsorship, the common people would remember all their kindness and it might all become part of Ning Rongrong's KPIs. Where would she go to seek justice?

"Master, should we just refuse them?" Nana asked tentatively.

"Refuse? Of course not." Ye Chenxing smiled playfully. "Since the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is so enthusiastic, we can't just leave empty-handed."

"Go and tell them that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is willing to cooperate, but they must unconditionally cooperate with all the activities of our Star Tower, and they must not use their sect's name. All sales channels must be under my command. As for the profit sharing ratio, we can discuss it slowly, but there is one rule that they are absolutely not allowed to take the opportunity to raise prices and exploit ordinary people and low-level soul masters."

Nana was stunned, and couldn't help but swallow hard: "Tower Master, is this really a good idea? The other side is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

Ye Chenxing smiled mysteriously, offering no explanation, but instead closed his eyes and communicated with the small plane for a moment.

With a flick of his wrist, he pulled an exquisite wooden box from his storage space and pushed it onto the table.

"Just go and take this wooden box with you. Find a way to show it to their current sect leader," Ye Chenxing said confidently. "I guarantee that after seeing what's inside, they will not only agree to everything, but they will also treat you like an ancestor."

As for Ye Chenxing, it's hard to say about other forces, but for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which had held the name of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School for ten thousand years, but whose martial soul inheritance was not left behind because Ning Rongrong ran away to the God Realm, there are only three words to say to them.

Effortless control.

Nana glanced at the wooden box on the table, then at Ye Chenxing, who remained calm.

If someone else had said that, she would have thought they were crazy.

But the tower master's task...

"Understood! I guarantee it will be done!"

"Where am I?!"

In a dimly lit, secret room, Yu Xiaogang slowly woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a circle of figures surrounding the bed, staring intently at him.

"No! Don't hit me!"

The psychological trauma of being recently beaten in a mixed doubles match suddenly resurfaced, and Yu Xiaogang was so frightened that he shrank back, covered his head with his hands, and curled up in a ball on the bed, looking extremely disheveled.

Seeing this, all the elders of the Sea God Pavilion fell silent.

"How could it be such a person—did we arrest the wrong person?" A woman in her fifties couldn't help but mutter under her breath. Although she was old, it was still clear that she must have been a stunning beauty in her youth.

"Lin'er! Don't be rude," Yan Shaozhe scolded in a low voice.

Xian Lin'er pursed her lips. Although she often bickered with Yan Shaozhe, she was unwilling to argue with him in front of everyone.

At this moment, Elder Song stepped forward and said in as gentle a tone as possible, "Master, you are safe now. There is no need to panic. This is the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy. The person who hurt you is not here."

(Xuanzi silently looked away and whistled)

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang calmed down a little.

He carefully lowered his hands and discovered that the deep, bone-revealing wounds on his body had all disappeared. He quickly sat up as if waking from a dream and cautiously looked around.

"This is Shrek Academy? Who are you? I've never seen you before!"

Elder Song patiently introduced, "I am Azure Shadow Douluo. This is Dean Yan Shaozhe of the Sea God Pavilion, and the one next to him is Gluttonous Douluo Xuanzi. They are the ones who brought you back to Shrek Academy this time."

"Douluo Continent?"

Yu Xiaogang's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets: "Are you all Title Douluos?! Impossible! Don't try to fool me!"

He was born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and he knew the ins and outs of the three upper clans very well. Later, he had worked by Bibi Dong's side, and he also knew those old monsters in the Spirit Hall's Hall of Worship. He had definitely heard of all the Title Douluos on the entire continent, even if he had never met them.

Qingying? Taotie? Where did these Title Douluos come from?!

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's exaggerated reaction, everyone exchanged glances.

Oh no, could it be that the master's descendant was poisoned to death and had his brain damaged?

Yan Shaozhe sighed and tentatively comforted him, "Master, we are all elders of the Sea God Pavilion. Your ancestor, Yu Xiaogang, also came from our Shrek Academy. Speaking of which, our Pavilion Master, like you, has his blood flowing through his veins, making him a direct descendant."

"Sea God Pavilion? Elders? Ancestors? Descendants?"

He jumped out of bed and shouted at the top of his lungs, "What nonsense are you spouting! I am Yu Xiaogang! I'm looking for Flander! I'm looking for Erlong! I'm looking for Xiaosan!"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang in a frenzy on the bed, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

This illness is quite serious.

Just then, an aged, gentle yet infinitely majestic voice slowly rang out from the main seat.

"Master—may this old man have the pleasure of examining your martial spirit?"

Yu Xiaogang's voice abruptly stopped.

He stared blankly at the gaunt old man sitting in the wheelchair, and swallowed hard.

"Me? My martial spirit?"

Yu Xiaogang was slightly taken aback.

Originally, he was extremely reluctant to show his martial soul in front of others. After all, this failed mutation of his useless martial soul was the source of his inferiority complex for most of his life.

But now, being stared at by so many old monsters who called themselves "Title Douluo," he had no choice but to grit his teeth and shout, "Come out, Luo Sanpao!"

With a flash of pale purple light, two pitiful yellow spirit rings rose from beneath his feet.

Immediately afterwards, a chubby purple creature that looked like a pig and a dog landed on the ground with a grunt.

However, as soon as Luo Sanpao landed, it seemed to smell something familiar. Its small eyes lit up and stared intently at Moon in the wheelchair.

The next second, Luo Sanpao took off on his short legs and happily pounced into the arms of that unfathomable old man!

Yu Xiaogang was completely dumbfounded.

What's going on? When has Luo Sanpao ever been so close to anyone other than himself?

Mu En gently stroked Luo Sanpao, who was frantically rubbing against him, with his withered hand. A look of disbelief flashed in his originally cloudy eyes.

He muttered to himself, "It all matches up... These physical features, this level 29 soul power fluctuation, are exactly the same as those recorded in the academy."

Upon hearing Moon's whisper, the surrounding elders gasped. They exchanged bewildered glances, the utterly absurd possibility inevitably surfacing in their minds.

Mu En raised his head and stared intently at Yu Xiaogang.

"Master, could you tell me which organization is currently the most powerful on the continent?"

Yu Xiaogang was completely bewildered by the question and blurted out instinctively, "It should be the Spirit Hall, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Sea God Pavilion erupted in uproar!

Moon waved his hand, silencing the murmurs of the crowd.

"Everyone, please leave. Xuanzi, Shaozhe, you two stay. We need to have a serious talk with this—master."

After the group of elders left the secret room with extremely complicated expressions, Mu En looked at Yu Xiaogang again.

"Master, do you know what era we live in?"

"What era?" Yu Xiaogang's unease grew stronger.

Mu En sighed softly: "Now, a full ten thousand years have passed since the Spirit Hall was destroyed."

a thousand years!

These three words struck Yu Xiaogang like a bolt from the blue, leaving him completely frozen in place, his mind blank.

"That's right, ten thousand years." Moon's gentle voice carried a hint of respect. "Shrek Academy has now become the number one power on the continent."

"And I, this old man, am a direct descendant of you and Liu Erlong."

"You—you are my and Erlong's descendant?! How is that possible? Erlong and I..."

""

This barrage of mind-blowing information was so overwhelming that Yu Xiaogang felt dizzy and stumbled, nearly falling to the ground.

Overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information, he clung desperately to his last hope, his voice trembling as he asked, "What about Xiao San? My disciple Xiao San—how is he?"

Looking at his disheveled ancestor, Moon said helplessly, "You've succeeded."

"You personally nurtured Tang San's ancestor into the supreme deity—the Sea God."

Yu Xiaogang was completely stunned.

He stood frozen in place, his whole body trembling violently as if he had been electrocuted.

Immediately afterwards, his face flushed red, and he burst into hysterical laughter.

"I did it—I did it! Hahaha!"

"I, Yu Xiao... Yu Xiaogang, have produced a god!!!"

His brain, engorged with blood, caused him to completely lose his mind. He ran and jumped around the secret chamber of the Sea God Pavilion like a madman.

"Master! Master, please calm down!"

Yan Shaozhe rushed over to pull the man away. Although he could easily subdue the level 29 Great Soul Master, he couldn't bring him back to normal.

The three of them looked at Yu Xiaogang, who was grinning foolishly, and were at a loss for what to do.

"This can't go on." Yan Shaozhe frowned, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "I think I read in an ancient medical book that this kind of hysteria caused by extreme excitement can be cured by giving him a sudden fright! Master, is there anyone you're particularly afraid of?"

Xuanzi gulped down a mouthful of wine, rolled his eyes, and said, "Where are we going to find someone from ten thousand years ago? Am I supposed to go and call that Poison Old Monster over again and beat him up again?"
