Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 65 Planning for the Future

Ye Lingling successfully obtained her fourth spirit ring, and the group began their return to Heaven Dou City. The trip had been a complete success.

A day later, Ye Liangchen and his group walked out of Sunset Forest. Suddenly, more than a dozen Soul Masters dressed in black robes emerged from the woods a kilometer away. Upon seeing Ye Liangchen and his group, they immediately ran over.

Judging from the aura emanating from these black-robed men, they were all at the Soul Saint level. Dugu Bo thought it was an enemy attack, so he immediately released his Flood Dragon Martial Soul and nine Soul Rings, staring intently at the group.

Who are you?

Upon seeing a Title Douluo, the other group was immediately taken aback. Dugu Bo's martial soul had now evolved into a dragon, and his hair, eyes, and skin were no longer green. He looked much younger, and none of them recognized his identity.

"Your Majesty, we mean no harm. We simply wish to inquire whether any of you have encountered this person in Sunset Forest?"

At this moment, a leader at the Soul Saint level took out a portrait from his pocket and asked Ye Liangchen and his group about it.

Holy crap! The portrait in that painting looks a little bit like my old self! But it's just hand-drawn, so you can't see any expression or temperament at all.

When Ye Liangchen saw the image in the painting, he immediately guessed that the other party was from the Spirit Hall. It must be because he had previously injured Snake Spear and Porcupine with a gun, and Qian Renxue had returned to the Spirit Hall to send people to investigate him.

"Go ahead and investigate! That's just a random alias I made up. You could turn the whole continent upside down and you still wouldn't find it." Ye Liangchen thought to himself, thinking that finding him based on a doodle-like portrait was a ridiculous joke.

"We did not encounter the person in the painting," Dugu Bo replied calmly.

"Thank you, I'm sorry to bother you."

Having obtained no clues, the group left immediately, coming and going in a hurry.

"Grandpa, who is the other party?" Dugu Yan asked curiously.

"They were all dressed in black, and there was no discernible pattern to their appearance. I, Grandpa, have no idea who they are. They were carrying a portrait of a young boy and searching the entire forest. Could that boy be someone important?"

As a titled Douluo, Dugu Bo wouldn't even glance at these Soul Saint-level Soul Masters, nor would he pay them any attention, let alone know their origins.

"The fact that they mobilized more than a dozen Soul Saints at once suggests that the opponent might be from the Spirit Hall," Ye Suling thought. Only the Spirit Hall could possibly mobilize such a large force at once.

"It doesn't matter who it is, as long as it's none of our business."

Dugu Bo urged everyone to hurry on their way, completely disregarding those Soul Saints.

The group arrived at a small town a hundred kilometers away from Sunset Forest, bought a horse-drawn carriage, and drove towards Tiandou City. Dugu Bo and Ye Liangchen, as usual, took on the role of coachmen.

Along the way, the old man and the young man talked about many things related to the future.

"Young Master Ye, I heard from Clan Chief Ye that your Tianshui Academy plans to establish a sect. Is that true?"

Dugu Bo was very curious about the sudden increase in strength of the women from Tianshui Academy. If Tianshui Academy were to establish a sect, it would surely shock the entire continent.

"When I returned this time, I discussed it with some elders, and we decided that we could start building the sect. We will announce it to the world when the time is right, and it will take no more than ten years at most."

Ye Liangchen had already made a plan in his mind. After returning this time, he would directly invite the Yu Clan to build various buildings for the Tenglong Pavilion and the Tianshui Sect. The Yu Clan, led by that old rhinoceros Niu Gao, was an expert in construction.

"Young Ye, establishing a sect will inevitably attract the covetous eyes of various powerful forces. We must prepare a foolproof plan."

Dugu Bo has now joined Ye Liangchen's Tenglong Pavilion, making him part of the same camp as the Tianshui Sect. He sees hope in this young man and is looking forward to the challenges ahead.

"Don't worry, senior! I have a Limit Douluo behind me. If any other forces come knocking, we'll just start a war. Who's afraid of who?"

Anyway, Ye Liangchen can summon Di Tianpai thugs at any time, so even if Qian Daoliu comes, he is not afraid. If the old man Qian really comes to kill him, he can use a Barrett MK22 sniper rifle to take him out and change the landscape of the continent ahead of time.

"Limit Douluo? Kid, you're not kidding me, are you?"

Dugu Bo was shocked by this news. In his knowledge, he couldn't imagine where there was such a powerful force.

"Senior, I have no reason to lie to you. Otherwise, do you think I would dare to venture into Sunset Forest alone? I won't use that power unless it's in danger."

Ye Liangchen spoke calmly, which made Dugu Bo, who was standing next to him, feel that he was not lying. Besides, the fact that this little guy could evolve his own martial soul was already amazing enough.

"Alright, I trust you. Now that I've brought my whole family to join your Tenglong Pavilion, whatever difficulties we encounter, we'll face them together."

Now that Dugu Bo has joined Ye Liangchen's organization, he is ready to face the challenges of the future. Everyone should have some goals in life. Before, he only wanted to solve the problem of the backlash from the poison between himself and his granddaughter. Now that this problem has been easily solved by this little guy, he might as well give it his all, otherwise his life would have been in vain.

"Senior Dugu, you are still a guest advisor to Prince Xuexing. Resigning from this position shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"No problem. I've already paid back the favor I owed him back then."

"It's good to fire him. That old man wasn't a good person anyway. He was greedy, lustful, sold slaves, and did all sorts of bad things. We'll get rid of him sooner or later."

"Young Ye, you wouldn't be thinking of taking down the Heaven Dou royal family and becoming emperor, would you? That would cause quite a stir."

When Dugu Bo heard that Ye Liangchen was planning to make a move against the old man, Prince Xuexing, he was immediately startled. This kid was too bold.

"I have no interest in any royal family, nor do I have the energy to manage this country. However, who becomes the emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire in the future is up to me."

Ye Liangchen will definitely rule the entire continent in the future, and then he can just send anyone to manage the country.

"You've got guts, kid."

Ye Liangchen's statement, "I'll decide who becomes emperor in the future," stunned Dugu Bo. However, given the power behind this guy, it was quite possible that he could actually do it.

"Now let's go back to Tiandou City and have Sister Yan and Sister Ling drop out of the Royal Academy. They're already Soul Masters now, so they won't learn anything if they stay in the academy."

Ye Liangchen plans to send the two girls to Tianshui Academy, where they can cultivate the Hunyuan Technique. Now that the two girls have joined his organization, he can't let them stay in Tiandou Royal Academy any longer.

"I will handle this matter. Yan Yan and Ling Ling have used some resources from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy over the years. At worst, I will just compensate them with some money."

Dugu Bo understood that the two girls' withdrawal from Tiandou Academy would inevitably cause a stir in the Tiandou Education Committee, but with his title of Douluo, he could still handle it. However, there was no need to go too far; it was better for everyone to part amicably. In any case, he could afford to cover the two girls' expenses at school.

"Don't worry, senior! Problems that can be solved with money aren't problems at all. I've refined some Soul Power Pills and Jade Flower Pills, both of which can restore soul power. The Jade Flower Pill, in particular, not only restores soul power but also has beauty and skin-nourishing effects. We can easily get a few hundred thousand gold soul coins by simply auctioning some items at the Heaven Dou Auction City."

Ye Liangchen took out several Soul Power Pills and Jade Flower Pills and showed them to Dugu Bo.

"Young Ye, you actually managed to concoct such a pill?"

Dugu Bo himself had some knowledge of medicinal herbs. Judging from the rich aroma of the herbs, he knew it was a top-quality product, so he swallowed it directly to experience it.

"Hmm! Not bad!"

"Young Ye, if you auction these things off, you'll make a fortune. Women care about their appearance the most. Just the selling point of beauty and skincare alone is enough to drive women all over the world crazy, especially those wealthy ladies."

Dugu Bo stared at the pill in his hand, as if he could see piles and piles of gold soul coins.

"Senior, that's exactly what I was thinking, but we'll have to wait until we've established our power base." Ye Liangchen already had a plan for making money.

"You're giving me more and more surprises, kid."

Dugu Bo recalled that when this kid invited him before, he said that they would make a lot of money together, and sure enough, it did.

Ye Liangchen pondered, "If Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling are poached, the first team of Tiandou Royal Academy will definitely undergo a major change. Perhaps when the Shrek Six Monsters come to Tiandou Royal Academy later, they will be assigned to the first team. In this way, they won't be able to cause trouble for Liu Erlong's Blue Tyrant Academy."

If that's the case, then there won't be any Shrek Academy anymore. It's quite interesting to think about.

The Shrek Six Monsters are currently undergoing special training under Yu Xiaogang in a small mountain village south of Soto City. It seems they will have to go through three months of weight training, then a month of Soul Fighting competitions, followed by a two-month break. It will be about half a year before they come to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Now that Shrek Academy no longer has the kitten, Tang San and his group may not be able to win the title of Gold Soul in the Soul Arena.

……

Three days later, the group returned to Tiandou City. Under Dugu Bo's arrangement, Ye Liangchen temporarily stayed at the Dugu family's mansion.

The Dugu family is small, with only three servants besides Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan. Since almost all the direct descendants have died, the huge mansion looks deserted with just a few people.

"Senior Dugu, I'd like to trouble you to arrange Lingling's withdrawal from school."

Although Ye Suling has the cultivation level of a Soul Douluo, she is just a healing-type Soul Master without combat power and has no way to face the higher-ups of the Royal Academy.

"Don't worry, Chief Ye! We're all on the same side now, I'll handle everything."

Dugu Bo patted his chest, assuring everyone that he would get things done.

After dinner, Ye Suling went back to the Ye family to prepare, while Dugu Yan left Ye Lingling at the Dugu family home to discuss dropping out of school.

"Lingling, we're already Soul Masters now, it'll definitely scare those people at the academy."

"Yanzi, Yu Tianheng is heartbroken now that you've left the academy."

"Pshaw! There was nothing between us to begin with, so there's no such thing as heartbreak!"

The two girls knew that dropping out of school would definitely alarm the higher-ups, but they weren't worried at all.

"Little Chen, come with us to the academy tomorrow!"

Dugu Yan shouted at Ye Liangchen, who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, preparing to use that guy as a shield so that she could sever ties with Yu Tianheng.

"Sister Yan, if I go, will I get into a fight with those guys from your academy? Especially that Yu Tianheng you mentioned."

Ye Liangchen understood what Dugu Yan meant; wasn't she just using him as a shield?

"Don't worry, even if those students dare to mess with you, I'm here for you."

"It's settled then. Go and help me out tomorrow."

Dugu Yan walked over with a smile and patted Ye Liangchen on the shoulder.

"Alright! I'll go with you to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy later."

Ye Liangchen didn't take the students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy seriously at all. Even without using his martial soul, he could easily crush them all. The strongest among those students was Yu Tianheng, who seemed to be level 39. Next was the Shi brothers, who had level 38 soul power. The rest were all just noobs.

If Yu Tianheng saw me standing with Dugu Yan, he would definitely challenge me. That guy is Yu Xiaogang's nephew and admires his uncle very much; he's a die-hard fan.

He'll deal with whatever comes his way, and he'll take it one step at a time. As long as those people don't cause trouble, Ye Liangchen won't bother with them.
