Douluo: The Dragon King's Descent of the Gods

Chapter 85 Makino's Visit

Luo Guixing and Wu Siduo followed Xu Xiaoyan's gaze and looked over: sitting on the sofa were two men and a woman, who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, with the arrogance unique to geniuses on their faces.

There was nothing wrong with that, but everyone present was a genius, and everyone would tacitly restrain their arrogance. However, the three of them did not, which made them seem superior and gave people the feeling of being out of place.

"They're from Shrek Academy, from the Upper Three Sects," they didn't say it explicitly, but the fact that one of them has the surname Tang, one Yu, and one Ning, and that they're present at this gathering, is enough to explain their identities.

Shrek Academy and its affiliated forces have poor relations with most of the Federation's forces, but that's a human relationship, what does it have to do with the spirits?

That's why the three people from Shrek Academy and the Upper Three Sects are at tonight's gathering.

"Speaking of which, the three of them seemed to have mentioned some kind of competition earlier—" Luo Guixing thought for a moment and said, "Yes, it's the Tianhai Alliance Competition. They will represent Shrek Academy to participate across regions."

"Miss Xu, if I remember correctly, Donghai City, where you are located, seems to be a member of the Tianhai Alliance, right?"

"Yes, Donghai City is a member of the Tianhai Alliance," Xu Xiaoyan nodded, then asked, "But are you sure Shrek Academy is coming to participate in the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition?"

"Yes, we heard them say it themselves before you arrived."

Xu Xiaoyan glanced at Luo Guixing, then at Wu Siduo who was nodding in agreement. She was already seven or eight parts convinced of the truth, and thought to herself:

Why would Shrek Academy, located in the central region of the continent, come all the way to the East China Sea coast to participate in the Sky Sea Alliance Grand Tournament? There must be a conspiracy!

We must tell His Majesty the Gods this news; we absolutely cannot let Shrek's plot succeed!

"Excuse me, I'll be there for a moment."

Xu Xiaoyan got up and left, walked through the luxurious banquet hall and into the restroom. Seeing that no one was around, she went into the corner of a stall, locked the door, and used her phone to edit the events of the moment into a message and send it to His Majesty the God.

Meanwhile, at the Church of the Holy Spirit, Meng Xinghe had just returned from a small plane when his phone rang with a message notification.

He opened his phone and a smile spread across his face.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yuena turned her head and asked curiously.

"The fish has taken the bait. Here, take a look for yourself." Meng Xinghe handed his phone to Gu Yuena.

After reading it, Gu Yuena also laughed.

"You were absolutely right. Shrek really did show up uninvited to get the Golden Apple. He's got some nerve."

"Star River, what are you planning to do? Let Shrek Academy win the competition and take the Golden Apple?"

"No," Meng Xinghe shook his head, took back his phone to reply to Xu Xiaoyan, and said, "We've both personally participated in the competition. If Shrek Academy wins, where will our pride be?"

"But—" Gu Yuena said doubtfully, "If they won't let Shrek Academy take the Golden Apple through the competition, nor will they let the Holy Spirit Cult take it by force, then how will they find the nine suppressed ley lines?"

"Well—I have my own clever plan. Some things are better kept a certain mystery; it's no fun if everything is revealed."

"No, Xinghe, just tell me, I won't tell anyone else," Gu Yuena said in a slightly coquettish tone.

"Alright then." Meng Xinghe leaned close to Gu Yuena's ear and whispered the plan to her.

"————That's it."

On the other side, Xu Xiaoyan leaned against the wall, waiting for His Majesty the God's reply.

This was my first time doing this kind of intelligence transmission work. I was both nervous and excited. I felt like a secret agent in a spy drama, carrying a heavy responsibility and surrounded by danger.

A moment later, her silent phone vibrated slightly. Xu Xiaoyan quickly opened her phone to check, and sure enough, it was a message from the God himself.

The reply was brief, just five simple words: "You did a great job."

After reading it, Xu Xiaoyan felt so happy that she could ascend to heaven on the spot.

Back in the banquet hall, seeing Xu Xiaoyan visibly happy, Wu Siduo and Luo Guixing exchanged a puzzled look.

What did she do? Why is she in such a good mood?

The next day, in Mingdu.

The Spirit Pagoda welcomed a distinguished guest who specifically requested to see Meng Xinghe.

"The presence of the Sect Master of the Body Sect is an honor to our humble abode."

Upon hearing the voice, Makino looked at the middle-aged man who had appeared out of nowhere, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "I just arrived and you're already here? Who tipped you off?"

For Mu Ye to speak in such a manner, the newcomer must be no ordinary person. He is none other than Nangong Yuling, the tower master of the Mingdu branch of the Spirit Pagoda, whose martial soul is the Emerald Demon Bird and who is a level 98 Title Douluo.

Although Nangong Yuling is not a Limit Douluo, his Emerald Bird Martial Soul gives him speed and attack power that even Limit Douluos would have to be wary of.

"No one ventilated the room, no one informed us." Nangong Yuling looked at Mu Ye, "You're not the only one with a cell phone, and you know how to use one—"

You're not the only one online. That video has spread all over the internet; you're not the only one with eyes to it.

Makino: 「————」

I was so excited watching the video that I forgot about this.

Someone filmed the battle between Meng Xinghe and Xu Yucheng and uploaded it online. If he could access it, how could the Spirit Pagoda not access it?

Nangong Yuling asked knowingly, "Actually, I'm quite curious. I didn't see you come three years ago, so why did you suddenly come today?"

"Nonsense, how could I have known Meng Xinghe was such a pervert three years ago?" Mu Ye thought to himself.

The Spirit Pagoda is powerful and monopolizes the soul spirit industry. Of course, the Body Sect would want a commoner genius with a full innate soul power and a Body Spirit. However, since the Spirit Pagoda has already taken the lead, the Body Sect has no need to fight with the Spirit Pagoda over such a genius.

After all, the Body Sect already has such an excellent successor as Aruheng, a genius of the Body Martial Soul with innate full soul power. It doesn't matter if there is one more or one less.

But now————

With his innate talent domain and physical attributes that even the super martial soul Dark Demon Scythe couldn't cut his finger, Aruheng was practically a useless piece of trash compared to Meng Xinghe at the same age.

With such talent, only the Body Sect's Body Martial Soul Second Awakening Secret Technique and Innate Secret Technique could provide Meng Xinghe with the best training.

So, he's here today to steal her away!

He thought he could launch a surprise attack and take Meng Xinghe back to the Body Sect while the Spirit Pagoda was off guard, but he forgot that he wasn't the only one who could watch videos online.

Mu Ye took a deep breath and looked at Nangong Yuling, saying, "I won't beat around the bush. Tell me, what conditions does your Spirit Transmission Tower want for Meng Xinghe to be given to our Body Sect?"

"No conditions." Nangong Yuling replied unexpectedly, "As long as Meng Xinghe is willing, the Spirit Pagoda can release him at any time."

"Really?" Makino asked incredulously.

"Really?" Nangong Yuling nodded affirmatively.

Are you kidding me? If His Majesty the God wants to leave, would the Spirit Pagoda dare to stop him?

However, you'll need the ability to persuade His Majesty the God to leave the Spirit Pagoda and join the Body Sect.
