Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San as a disciple, with a ten-thousand-fold return for teaching him.

According to the plot of the book, Ning Rongrong also participated in the allocation, since the skull of spiritual wisdom was also suitable for her.

But in the end, it was given to Tang San, who then gave Ning Rongrong the soul bone he had obtained from Shi Nian during the preliminary rounds.

Because of Chen Luo's appearance, the original plot development has been altered. Shi Nian's soul bone had already been in Ning Rongrong's hands and absorbed. Shrek Academy's many trump cards are not just empty words. In addition to Ning Rongrong possessing a soul bone, Tang San also has the external soul bone Eight Spider Lances, but neither of them has had the opportunity to use it.

With the rewards in place, the Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies Across the Continent came to a successful conclusion.

Bibi Dong, as the Pope of the Spirit Hall, also symbolically asked Tang San and the others whether they wanted to join the Spirit Hall, and without exception, they all declined.

It's worth mentioning that the melodramatic plot of Xiao Wu's identity being exposed did not happen, so there were no more tense scenes, and everything was very peaceful.

Of course, joy and disappointment were both inevitable. Everyone from Shrek Academy was extremely happy, while the Spirit Hall side was much more downcast.

Chapter 217 The Five-Year Agreement

On the streets of Wuhun City, Shrek Academy and his group were on their way to the hotel, along with the members of the second team.

Other advanced soul master academies that were unfortunately eliminated have already returned home, but Soto City Shrek Academy and Heaven Dou City Shrek Academy belong to the same academy, so Zhao Wuji obviously cannot take the second team away first. At the moment, everyone is cheering for Shrek Academy to win the championship.

Many pedestrians cheered along the streets. They did not have any prejudice against Shrek Academy because of the Spirit Hall team's defeat. They only cheered for the champion. Of course, there were some people who looked at them coldly, but they were a minority.

The little monsters walked in front, with Flander and Zhao Wuji also at the front of the group, while Chen Luo and Liu Erlong were at the back.

"What was with the way that woman looked at you when we left?"

As soon as the Shrek team left the Papal Palace, Liu Erlong kept staring at Chen Luo with murderous eyes. When the two were alone together, Liu Erlong finally broke out and asked in a low voice.

Chen Luo knew this was a death trap, and he felt quite helpless. Why did Bibi Dong give him such a deep look when she left? It made his current situation really awkward. Women need to be coaxed, so he should try to appease Liu Erlong first.

"No way, the Pope looks at everyone, how could he look at me alone? With the Pope's status, why would he look at an unknown nobody like me?"

"Ah!"

Liu Erlong sneered: "How can you call yourself an unknown junior? You're too modest. You're a master, and the leader of the champion team of this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition!"

Chen Luo's lips twitched slightly, then he immediately forced a smile: "How did we get so far off topic?"

As he spoke, Chen Luo embraced Liu Erlong.

Liu Erlong was slightly taken aback, but then stopped picking a fight.

Chen Luo sighed inwardly: "Women..."

When Bibi Dong was mentioned, Bibi Dong's image flashed through Chen Luo's mind.

She was my initial goal when I came into this world, and I have no intention of giving up now.

Since arriving in Wuhun City, I've been busy with the competition and haven't had a chance to see her. Now that the competition has successfully ended, it's time to find a reasonable excuse to see her.

Before long, all the Shrek members arrived at the hotel.

This hotel was chosen in advance by Zhao Wuji and is the best hotel in Wuhun City. All the food is extremely rare. Food made from soul beasts is just the most basic. The leaders of Shrek Academy, who are usually frugal, are now going to splurge a little to help Shrek win the championship.

In fact, regardless of whether the Shrek Seven Devils win the championship, they will all come here for a meal. Who says that the runner-up doesn't deserve to celebrate? Even winning the runner-up title is already a very good result.

In an incredibly joyful atmosphere, everyone took their seats. Flander, as the dean, spoke a few passionate words, the content of which was naturally related to winning the championship. He first congratulated them and then encouraged them. These were all old-fashioned words, but under the influence of genuine emotion, they made everyone who heard them feel excited as well.

Everyone was very happy, but the pleasant time was ultimately short-lived.

After the dinner party, the issue of parting ways is unavoidable.

Flanders asked with a smile, "Little monsters, you've all graduated. What are your plans now?"

Whether it's the Shrek Seven Devils or the members of the second team, they would have already met the graduation requirements according to the ordinary advanced soul master academy graduation standards. As for those soul masters and soul sects in the advanced soul master academy elite competition, they are just preparing for the competition.

Even before the little monsters participated in the Elite Tournament, Flander had mentioned that they would graduate if they won. In fact, Flander had already decided that as long as the little monsters achieved certain results in the Elite Tournament, he would let them graduate.

The Shrek Seven Devils' victory was both unexpected and expected, but it was more of a surprise. Flander's joy was genuine.

Dai Mubai spoke first: "Zhu Qing and I are going back to the Star Luo Empire..."

Then came a farewell speech. As they talked, Dai Mubai, this burly man, had tears in his eyes, and Zhu Zhuqing turned her head to wipe away her tears.

No one wants to face separation, but we will face countless separations in life.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing already had special identities. After experiencing this elite competition, they will have to face the things they have been avoiding. And through their own efforts, they have enough to face those things back.

After Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, it was Ning Rongrong's turn.

“Xiao Ao and I also have to go back to our families,” Ning Rongrong said.

Oscar glanced at Ning Rongrong with some surprise, his emotions running high.

Just as Tang San was about to speak, Chen Luo spoke first.

“Xiao San, you and Xiao Wu go to find your father. I already met with him yesterday.”

Tang San, who was usually calm and composed, paused upon hearing this and murmured, "Go see my father?"

Chen Luo nodded: "Yes, let's go after the dinner, but he will most likely come to pick you up."

Tang San was slightly taken aback, then nodded vigorously: "Okay, teacher!"

Xiao Wu's expression was rather unpleasant, as if she didn't want to face it, but she didn't speak immediately.

As a result, only Ma Hongjun among the Shrek Seven Devils has not yet decided on his future plans.

Ma Hongjun then looked at Yu Xiuyuan: "Brother Yuan, what are your plans for the future?"

Yu Xiuyuan looked at Chen Luo, his eyes filled with expectation: "I want to continue learning with the teacher."

Chen Luo nodded: "That's exactly what I was planning to do. I'll take you around to gain experience in different places later."

Yu Xiuyuan nodded immediately, a smile of excitement on his face: "Yes, thank you, teacher!"

As he spoke, Chen Luo looked at Tang San and said, "Originally, I wanted to take you and your fellow disciple with me, but since your father wants to take you away, he must have a better plan."

A hint of reluctance flashed in Tang San's eyes as he said, "Father must have something to discuss with me. Once I'm done with those matters, I'll come to find my teacher and junior brother immediately!"

Upon hearing that his younger brother was going to travel around with their teacher for training, Ma Hongjun's gaze immediately fell on his teacher, Flander: "Teacher, you should be with the master, right? Can you take me with you?"

Flanders smiled: "Of course."

As for the other Shrek Academy members, substitutes, and other members of the second team, they all expressed their intention to stay at the academy to continue their studies and improve.

After everyone had stated their destinations, Chen Luo smiled and said, "How about this, let's make a five-year agreement and reunite at Shrek Academy in five years?"

Everyone nodded in unison: "Okay!"

No one felt that reuniting after five years was too long. They all knew very well that after this parting, some of them might never see each other again, and the five-year promise was just a beautiful thought.

Chapter 218 The Mysterious Grand Canyon

After the dinner, everyone faced parting ways.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing set off for the Star Luo Empire, while Ning Rongrong and Oscar went to find Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo to return together.

The rest of Shrek Team Two returned home under Zhao Wuji's leadership. There was a little incident during their journey: Lu Changming from Team Two gained Ning Fengzhi's appreciation and was allowed to study at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School after returning home.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School certainly didn't have anything suitable for Lu Changming to learn, but it did have a Sword Douluo.

Tang Hao never showed up. Chen Luo followed Tang Hao's instructions and took Tang San and Xiao Wu to the south gate of Wuhun City, where they finally met Tang Hao.

Tang Hao was quite polite to Chen Luo, expressing his gratitude in many ways.

Chen Luo and Tang San parted ways. Chen Luo gave a few simple words of advice and then watched Tang Hao leave with Tang San and Xiao Wu.

After seeing Tang San and Xiao Wu off, Chen Luo returned to Wuhun City. However, instead of immediately meeting up with Liu Erlong and the others, he went to the Papal Palace.

……

The Papal Palace, the council chamber.

Chen Luo, who was drinking tea, suddenly heard the sound of the door opening. He immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw Bibi Dong arrive.

Bibi Dong wore a light purple robe with silver embellishments. Her stunning beauty, graceful figure, and noble demeanor perfectly embodied the word "perfect."

"No one is allowed to enter without my order!"

Bibi Dong's authoritative voice rang out, and as she stepped into the council hall, the doors closed tightly.

Chen Luo's gaze remained fixed on Bibi Dong, and the two inevitably locked eyes.

With just one glance, the air seemed to be filled with a variety of complex emotions.

"I didn't expect you to come looking for me."

Bibi Dong spoke, her voice lacking any authority, only a slightly unfamiliar gentleness.

"I've wanted to come find you for a long time, but I've never been strong enough to be worthy of seeing you."

A smile appeared on Chen Luo's face.

Bibi Dong was slightly taken aback. She had thought of all sorts of responses, but she never expected this one.

Having seen all sorts of storms before, Bibi Dong instinctively thought of the entanglement of interests, but she was still somewhat surprised by this.

"Speak, what do you want from me?"

Bibi Dongdao's voice had lost its gentleness and was once again filled with authority.

Chen Luo didn't continue with his usual cheesy manner, but went straight to the point: "I want to ask you something."

"ask."

Bibi Dongdao's voice had become slightly indifferent.

Chen Luo asked, "I want to know where the entrance to the Mysterious Grand Canyon is?"

Bibi Dong frowned slightly: "What are you going there for?"

Chen Luo said, "Of course, it's to become stronger."

Bibi Dong said calmly, "It's very dangerous there, you'll die."

Chen Luo's lips curled up slightly: "I'm not afraid of death anymore. If I were afraid of death, I wouldn't have the strength I have now."

Bibi Dong gave Chen Luo a deep look, then slowly said, "From being unable to break through the Great Soul Master barrier to becoming a Soul Emperor and even possessing a 100,000-year Soul Ring, you must have suffered a lot over the years, right?"

Chen Luo said, "Compared to the suffering you have endured, it is probably less than one ten-thousandth."

Bibi Dong fell silent, and her gaze toward Chen Luo became even more complicated.

Chen Luo then said, "I'm sorry."
