Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 66 Shrek's Creditors

Several days later, at an inn on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Hui Huo was a quasi-titled Douluo, and Radamanthys was a super Douluo with a soul power of level 96. The two of them moved very quickly. Xiao Yu estimated that the time was about right, so he prepared to go downstairs to book a room for each of them.

The Star Dou Great Forest is bustling with people, and there are so many Soul Master teams hunting for Soul Rings that it's easy for it to become overcrowded.

Although a titled Douluo-level expert could sleep under the open sky without being affected in the slightest, as the leader of a sect, it would be best if the sect members could have a better resting environment.

"Let's rest here for the night and get everyone ready. Tomorrow we'll head to the Star Dou Great Forest to get a spirit ring for Xiao Ao."

Xiao Yu had just booked two rooms and was preparing to return to his own room to continue his cultivation when he suddenly heard a rough voice.

Damn, what a coincidence!

Xiao Yu's lips twitched slightly as he turned to look at the source of the sound. There he saw a group of eight people: a burly middle-aged man and seven young men and women dressed in different colors. It was none other than Zhao Wuji and the Shrek Seven Devils!

This was not something Xiao Yu did intentionally. The Star Dou Great Forest is so vast that the number of small towns like this on its outskirts has long exceeded double digits. He never expected that the inns he chose to rest at the previous times would become one of the famous scenes in Douluo Continent.

The two main objectives of this trip, the Titan Giant Ape and the Human-Faced Spider, can be found without necessarily following the Shrek group.

Although the Titan Giant Ape came in search of Xiao Wu, its reckless and impulsive behavior made it a beacon of light in the Star Dou Great Forest. If even the top Title Douluos can't find it here, they might as well all give up and go to sleep.

After intercepting and killing the Titan Giant Ape, the subsequent plot will not occur, and Tang San will not encounter the Human-Faced Demon Spider. To find the Human-Faced Demon Spider, one can start with Meng Shu and Meng Yiran.

Long Gong Meng Shu is a renowned Soul Douluo powerhouse with many years of experience. Finding him is much easier than finding the mediocre Shrek Academy. Moreover, the reason is simple: recruit a Soul Douluo who roams the continent alone, and one who can briefly rival a Title Douluo with his Martial Soul Fusion Technique. Isn't this something every sect leader would do? This way, it won't expose their foresight advantage.

So although this trip to the Star Dou region is closely related to the Shrek Seven Devils, Xiao Yu really doesn't need them. It's just that he didn't expect his choice a few years ago to be so coincidental.

What intrigued Xiao Yu even more was the strange positioning of the Shrek Seven Devils. Ning Rongrong walked proudly at the front, showing none of the dejected feeling she had after being attacked and manipulated in the original work.

This was actually a butterfly effect brought about by Xiao Yu. Because of Ning Fengzhi's strict requirements for Ning Rongrong, when Flander asked Ning Rongrong and Oscar to run laps around the village, Ning Rongrong did not sneak away but gritted her teeth and persevered. In addition, she broke through to the Soul Master level at the age of twelve, directly trampling the other six Shrek monsters under her feet. Apart from Oscar, a food-type Soul Master with innate full Soul Power, who surprised her a little, nothing else could affect her. Therefore, Flander's PUA technique failed.

That alone wouldn't be enough to secure Ning Rongrong the center position in Shrek Academy.

After the assessment that day, our God King Tang set his sights on the soul tool Ning Rongrong used. In God King Tang's mind, as long as he figured out the internal structure of this soul tool and then integrated it into his hidden weapons, wouldn't his hidden weapons be more advantageous than the soul tool itself?

The ideal was lofty, but reality was harsh. A flurry of actions, as fierce as a tiger, and then this level-five defensive soul tool was destroyed by Tang Shenwang.

Ning Rongrong was so angry her mouth almost twisted. If Tang San hadn't had Xiao Wu plead with her several times, she would never have lent it to Tang San. Moreover, before handing it over to Tang San, she repeatedly instructed him not to try to disassemble the internal structure.

Their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School did try to recruit skilled craftsmen to research and replicate soul tools, but because the Nine Star Palace's soul tools were all equipped with self-destruct mechanisms during the manufacturing process, all attempts failed.

Even though Tang San had already been told, he still insisted on going his own way. I don't know where he got the confidence to think he could surpass those skilled craftsmen who had been famous for many years.

Ning Rongrong was so angry that she yelled and shouted, demanding that Tang San pay her back immediately.

This level-five soul tool costs as much as 10,000 gold soul coins, while Tang San's entire fortune amounted to only a few hundred gold soul coins. Xiao Wu was even more penniless. Oscar and Ma Hongjun were also penniless orphans. Although Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were members of the Star Luo Empire's royal family, both of them had fled on their own. Zhu Zhuqing fled in haste due to her sister's oppression and never thought of this aspect. The little money she had was just enough to pay her tuition. Dai Mubai had taken quite a bit with him before he ran away, but after supporting Shrek Academy and indulging in a life of luxury in Soto City over the past few years, he didn't have much money left. He wanted to help but was powerless to do so. In the end, it was Flander, who had read his old friend's letter, who personally stepped forward and issued an IOU to Ning Rongrong in the name of the academy.

Ning Rongrong is now the biggest creditor of the entire Shrek Academy, so of course she walks with her head held high and a swagger in front of them.

"It's you!"

Just as Xiao Yu was wondering what had happened to the Shrek Seven Devils, Xiao Wu had already discovered him. Although the 100,000-year-old soul beast had lost all its cultivation after being reborn as a human, its perception of the surrounding souls was extraordinary.

Following Xiao Wu's gaze, Dai Mubai and Tang San also spotted Xiao Yu. The two immediately turned fierce, and the humiliation they felt at the Rose Hotel that day surged into their hearts.

"What a small world! I never expected to run into you here!"

With teammates by his side and a Soul Saint-level teacher present, Dai Mubai instantly became more assertive, completely forgetting his cowardly behavior that day, and strode forward to block Xiao Yu's path.

Tang San and Xiao Wu lagged behind, closely following Dai Mubai's steps, flanking Xiao Yu from the left and right, their eyes filled with hatred, determined to wash away the humiliation of that day.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun, adhering to the school motto that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre and out of respect for their good older brother Dai Mubai, rushed forward almost without hesitation and stood behind Dai Mubai.

Zhu Zhuqing was slightly taken aback. She glanced at Dai Mubai, sighed inwardly, and walked up as well. After all, her life was now tied to Dai Mubai's; they would share both glory and ruin.

Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment. Her relationship with the others wasn't very good, especially after becoming Shrek Academy's creditor, she clearly felt the exclusion from everyone. But thinking that they were all from the same academy, she finally stepped over.

Zhao Wuji stayed where he was. In his mind, these students from his academy were all peerless geniuses, one in a million. It would be a piece of cake for the seven of them to join forces to deal with a young man of about twenty years old!
