Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

Looking back now, having such a powerful figure who could easily defeat Shrek Academy as my master wasn't such a bad thing. At least I could use that as a shield when I went out into the world.

"What's your name?"

Tian Hao asked, as he had always admired such pragmatic and capable individuals, at least those with sound intelligence.

Unlike Xian Lin'er, who acted as if her life was in her own hands but still clamored for revenge and wanted to kill him.

If this thing weren't still somewhat useful, I would have crushed it long ago.

"From now on, I belong to my master and must bid farewell to the past. Please bestow a name upon me, my master."

Realizing that the other party had no intention of killing her, the alluring woman quickly declared that she would belong to her master from the inside out.

"You're a smart person, at least better than those two self-proclaimed smart fools. I also like smart people the most. You've offered me your loyalty and life, so I'll grant you power. From now on, you'll be called Ahri!"

Tian Hao was even more satisfied with the alluring woman's reaction, especially after sensing her genuine submission. He then bestowed upon her a new name.

He is, after all, a titled Douluo with spiritual talent, and his ninth soul skill is quite good, making him worth cultivating.

Moreover, he needed a fox spirit to impersonate a super god warrior, so this one was perfect for him.

"Thank you, Master, for bestowing upon me a name!"

The alluring woman was overjoyed; her life was finally saved, and she would even gain a powerful force.

Upon closer inspection, it turns out that this wasn't a loss at all; in fact, it was a profit.

"My people will be here soon to set your broken bones."

After saying this, Tian Hao put his hands behind his back and looked towards the east gate of Shrek City, waiting for Zhao Ju and the other three to return.

He wasn't afraid that Shrek might try anything again. At worst, he would leave today and wait for a thunderstorm to come so he could raze Shrek City to the ground.

Moreover, this test revealed Shrek Academy's true strength, so it was a worthwhile endeavor.

As expected, Shrek Academy didn't dare to play any more tricks and quickly released Zhao Ju and the other three.

There was nothing they could do; Shrek Academy had been utterly decimated this time. Elder Mu and Elder Xuan were both killed, Elder Song sacrificed himself, the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department was killed, the two deans were captured, more than half of the academy's buildings were destroyed, and a section of the city wall was blown up.

Even the sea god's avatar was destroyed by the opponent, and the remaining divine power was not enough to kill it. They no longer had the power to fight back, and at this point, they had no choice but to accept their fate.

Chapter 700 Insidious Inducement

Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya were both very moved. They really didn't expect their teacher to attack Shrek Academy for their sake. Their teacher was too good.

"teacher!"

Tang Ya's eyes were red, and she wanted to throw herself into her teacher's arms, but she was blocked by a large, steel hand. Jiang Nannan was the same.

"Don't wipe your snot up there, I still need to repaint it!"

He shoved his two tearful disciples away, not wanting to wipe their snot and tears on the mecha.

This is a man's romance, how could it be allowed to be touched by a woman?

"Teacher, you're so mean!"

The emotion that Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan felt instantly shattered. They clenched their teeth, wishing they could tear a piece off the mecha.

The teacher is so mean!

"You are the Beast Eater!"

At this moment, a woman who had come with the four people stared intently, her eyes filled with intense anger.

Zhang Lexuan hated this person to death. It was this person who destroyed so much of the academy and injured Elder Mu and Elder Xuan.

After her family was wiped out, Shrek Academy became her home, and Elder Mu and Elder Xuan were her family.

Now that her home has been destroyed, her family members have been injured and killed, and the two directors have been pinned to the ground by the other side, how could she not be furious?

If he hadn't still had some rationality, the killing intent he had been suppressing would have exploded.

"Wait a minute, I need to prepare a prop before I can answer your question."

Faced with the girl's question, Tian Hao felt a strange sense of familiarity. He immediately ran to the side, picked up a huge rock, took out a greatsword, and started hacking at the rock, eventually carving it into a throne.

He looked her over and nodded in satisfaction, then turned around and sat down, crossing his legs. His blue-lit eyes looked down at the still angry woman.

"That's right, I am the Gluttonous King Shihu, the culprit who attacked your Shrek Academy, without exception!"

These words would feel more meaningful if spoken while seated on the throne, and they would also evoke a sense of nostalgia.

"Do you know the consequences of being an enemy of Shrek Academy?"

Clenching her teeth, Zhang Lexuan wished she could tear this thing to pieces.

"Before this battle, I was a weakling who couldn't even kill a chicken, let alone dare to be an enemy of your Shrek Academy."

Seeing how cooperative the girl was, Tian Hao continued the act, casually raising his hand to remove the outer armor on his head, revealing a head that shimmered with blue light inside.

"Don't think you're invincible just because you created that kind of soul tool. The peak power of a soul master is beyond your imagination."

With her teeth still clenched, Zhang Lexuan could tell that this was a despicable and treacherous person.

The attack on the academy was intended to hold off Elder Mu and Elder Xuan, forcing them to physically block the soul tool's attack, which was powerful enough to destroy the academy. Otherwise, with Elder Mu and Elder Xuan's intervention, this person would surely die.

That's despicable!

"Hehe! Invincible, I'd say second place!"

With a chuckle, Tian Hao was quite satisfied with the girl's cooperation. Although there were some discrepancies, she could still keep up.

“I will definitely dismantle this metal lump in the future and pull you out of it.”

Zhang Lexuan became increasingly annoyed, wishing she could take action to dismantle that thing, drag the guy inside out, and tear him to pieces, grinding his bones to dust.

In her view, it was just a large suit of armor, and the person must be hiding inside it, controlling the armor to fight.

"Take it apart as you like, I have plenty of parts."

He flicked the armor on his chest, producing a heavy clang of metal striking metal. Tian Hao was very confident; this was one of the advantages of mechs—if something was damaged, you could just replace it, making it efficient and simple.

Why are you attacking Shrek Academy?

Suppressing her anger, Zhang Lexuan questioned him.

She still doesn't understand why this person attacked Shrek Academy; there was no warning whatsoever.

She was in seclusion at the academy when she was awakened by a violent tremor. When she came out, she found Elder Mu and Elder Xuan heavily injured, enduring a series of terrifying attacks. She still doesn't understand what happened.

However, she was certain that this person was not among Shrek's previous enemies, and the attack methods used were also quite unfamiliar.

What exactly are their intentions?

"I can't live without you. You're too young to understand. Just like you feel the urge to conquer handsome men, I feel the same way about you Shrek students. I get pleasure from crushing your bones with my strong body."

Tian Hao responded in a cheerful tone, which was quite eccentric, making Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan roll their eyes. They realized that their teacher was talking nonsense again, or rather, teasing Zhang Lexuan, the senior sister of Shrek Academy's inner court.

"you……"

Those perverse words did indeed provoke Zhang Lexuan, who even manifested her own martial spirit in preparation for a fight, but was stopped by Bei Bei, who had arrived with her but remained silent.

"Sister Xuan, this matter is the fault of Shrek Academy, not of the teacher."

“Beibei, you…”

Zhang Lexuan was puzzled. How did it become the fault of Shrek Academy?

It was this despicable pervert who hurt Shrek and killed so many people.

Instead of explaining, Beibei bowed apologetically to someone, offering a sincere apology.

"Sir, on behalf of Shrek Academy, I apologize to you."

He already knew what had happened; it was Shrek's wrong decision that caused this disaster, and the man was only trying to protect himself.

Although he loved Shrek very much and considered it his home, he couldn't bring himself to blame others for the incident.

He also noticed that although the academy was damaged, there were not many casualties. It was clear that even in his anger, the master had held back. Otherwise, if he had attacked the teaching area directly, the academy would have suffered heavy casualties.

"You don't represent Shrek Academy yet, but it seems you've grown a lot. I'm glad. At least there are still some sensible people in Shrek Academy, not just mindless idiots who only know violence."

With a hint of satisfaction in his voice, Tian Hao put down his crossed legs and became much more formal and serious.

"you……"

Zhang Lexuan, standing to the side, was so angry she felt like her teeth were about to break. She realized that the person who said she was a violent idiot was referring to her.

Although I still don't understand the cause of this incident, judging from Beibei's attitude and words, I'm afraid I made a mistake before.

“The words the gentleman spoke back then were very enlightening to me. I have been reflecting on them every day these days, and each time I gain new insights. But I still don’t understand why things have developed to this point, and where exactly the problem lies?”

Beibei voiced his doubts, saying that he had been pondering this question for a while but still couldn't figure it out.

Originally, everything was fine. Even if Vice Dean Fan Yu and the others were blind and expelled the teacher from the academy, it shouldn't have ended up like this.

What went wrong?

“I once said that there is light and darkness, and only when light and darkness coexist can they endure in the world. But there is one thing you have not grasped, and that is the scale of the ratio between light and darkness.”

Tian Hao doesn't mind deceiving people a bit more; he's very good at ruining people.

This is a perfect opportunity to use Beibei as the core to create a different philosophy within Shrek Academy, causing internal conflicts.

What he wanted to see was an internally unstable Shrek Academy.

"Proportion, scale?"

Beibei muttered those two words, lost in thought.

"Everything needs a standard to be controlled. An upright force can have a certain degree of darkness, but it must be suppressed by the light. This situation of righteousness suppressing evil is called justice."

Conversely, an evil force is one where darkness outweighs light; this situation where evil prevails over good is called evil.

To maintain one's stance and nature, one needs to strike a balance, and clearly, Shrek Academy hasn't grasped that balance.

Tian Hao patiently explained.

Although all of this was the result of his secret manipulation, he had long anticipated Shrek's decision.

Just look at Shrek Academy's domineering behavior in its original destiny trajectory to know that Shrek itself is not purely righteous; it's just that it's better disguised.

Of course, this is also a kind of helplessness. Since Shrek Academy became independent, it has been forced to the brink of despair and has no choice but to continue. In order to survive and continue, it is inevitable to use some means. This is the case for any force, not an exception.

Even the Spirit Hall back then was the same; the only difference was that Shrek Academy didn't have the same ambition to unify the continent as the Spirit Hall.
