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

Breathing in the fresh air, Chen Luo could tell at a glance that the place had been cleaned and tidied up by someone, which must have been arranged by the vice dean.

They would rather expand than leave this area untouched.

It must be said that the vice dean did a good job in these aspects, and at least Chen Luo felt some pleasure.

"Once Erlong returns, we'll discuss with her about making some more space for the academy's construction."

Chen Luo thought to himself, then shook his head slightly and smiled, "I estimate that giving up the entire back mountain wouldn't have a big impact, and given Erlong's personality, I doubt he would give it up."

Back in the cabin, it was still clean and tidy, which made Chen Luo, who had prepared to clean, smile slightly.

Lying in bed, Chen Luo subconsciously reached out to the side, but his hand landed on empty space.

Yes, one person is missing.

It should only be about six months before we can see each other again.

In the next six months, I also need to make the most of my time to handle some things.

Chen Luo quickly composed himself and then contacted the system.

"Withdraw the collective apprenticeship return reward!"

[Have you decided to withdraw the group mentoring reward?]

Chen Luo: "Confirmed."

It's been almost a year since I last claimed any rewards, so I should be able to level up by about one level.

During the two and a half years Chen Luo spent on Poseidon Island, he also collected the rewards from the group apprenticeship program. In order to maximize the effect of the rewards, he only collected them after entering the Soul Douluo realm.

As Shrek Academy continues to develop, the benefits from the collective apprenticeship reward program naturally increase.

However, the increase in soul power level in the returned rewards is based on Chen Luo's current soul power level.

You can understand it this way: the Soul Power level returned as a reward for collective apprenticeship is actually a certain amount of Soul Power.

If converted to a game, it would be the experience needed for a game character to level up.

The experience rewards from group apprenticeships are increasing, but the experience required for Chen Luo to level up is also increasing, which is why Chen Luo hasn't been able to level up that quickly.

[In the process of withdrawing the group mentoring reward...]

[Extraction successful! Rewards received: Level 1 Soul Power, 50,000 years increase in the next Soul Ring's duration, and 10,000 Gold Soul Coins!]

"As expected, it's only an improvement of about one level, not too much, not too little, but just enough," Chen Luo thought to himself.

The arrival of the reward filled Chen Luo with an indescribable sense of comfort. His confidence, which once again made him feel like he could "punch Poseidon and kick Qian Daoliu," reappeared, and his soul power level successfully reached level ninety.

Level 89 and Level 90 seem to be worlds apart. Chen Luo could feel that the soul power in his body had become even more terrifying, and his combat power had increased exponentially.

If I obtain the ninth spirit ring, I'll be invincible!!

"This feeling of being invincible in the world is truly exhilarating!" Chen Luo exclaimed in his heart.

Once I obtain my ninth spirit ring, I might truly be invincible in the world. Even against a Limit Douluo, I should be able to put up a fight.

Everything is under control; now all that's needed is to acquire the ninth spirit ring.

We'll rest for two days, then head to Wuhun City.

The target spirit beast for the ninth spirit ring must be at least 800,000 years old, so you need to find a teammate to go and find and kill it together.

And if nothing unexpected happens, then that teammate also happens to need to acquire a spirit ring...

Chapter 266 Martial Soul City, Old Friends Reunited

three days later.

It was evening.

Shrek Academy cafeteria.

Flander took a sip of sake and asked, "Are you really going to find her?"

Chen Luo nodded: "Yes, there are some things that we still need to figure out."

Flanders said, "Alright, have a safe trip!"

"With your current strength, you probably don't need me to go with you. If I go, it won't be convenient for you. Besides, there are still a lot of things at the academy that I need to take care of."

"Ah."

Chen Luo nodded, slightly surprised.

He didn't expect Flander to agree so readily and even take the initiative to resolve his concerns.

Chen Luo originally thought that Flander would ask to come along and would even give him a lecture or something.

After all, by doing this, he was somewhat letting Liu Erlong down.

Nothing happened, and Flander's reaction was very calm.

But thinking about it, it's normal. The Douluo world doesn't have the same concept of monogamy as Chen Luo's original world.

Chen Luo picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, savoring the delicious taste.

Flander then spoke up again: "Have you told Yu Xiuyuan about this? Are you planning to take Yu Xiuyuan with you?"

Chen Luo said, "I've already told him."

"Let's not take him with us. You know I'm not well-liked by the Spirit Hall, so going to see her would be somewhat dangerous."

“That’s true.” Flanders nodded.

Flander took a big gulp of sake and then reminded him, "You'd better hurry back and try to come back before Erlong does. You know Erlong's personality; if you don't prepare her mentally, things could get really chaotic."

Chen Luo said, "I don't know if things can be done well yet. I will try to come back as soon as possible, no later than half a year."

Flander said, "Since you've gone, you'll definitely be able to get things done."

"When the little monsters participated in the Soul Master Elite Tournament, did I notice the way she looked at you? She definitely still has feelings for you."

"But you really need to be careful when you go. After all, she is now the leader of the Spirit Hall. If you go there and kidnap someone else's leader, I'm afraid the entire Spirit Hall will not let you off the hook."

"Hahaha." Chen Luo laughed.

Flander laughed, then said enviously, "I don't think I'm bad-looking either, so why don't I have as much luck with men as you?"

Chen Luo laughed and said, "Maybe it's because I'm a tiny bit more handsome than you."

Flander laughed even harder, holding out the bottle to Chen Luo. Chen Luo, who had been drinking from a glass, immediately picked up the bottle as well, clinked bottles with his brother, and then drank heartily.

One of the happiest and most enjoyable things in life is drinking, eating, chatting, and laughing with close brothers.

……

The next morning.

Chen Luo woke up naturally; it had been a long time since he had slept so comfortably.

He didn't have much luggage to pack; everything he needed was always stored in his Divine Dragon Space.

After washing up, Chen Luo went to the college cafeteria for breakfast.

He then met his apprentices Yu Xiuyuan and Ma Hongjun at the college cafeteria, and inevitably had to say a simple goodbye.

Chen Luo had actually considered taking his little apprentice Yu Xiuyuan with him, but after thinking about it, he ultimately decided not to.

The so-called safety issues are only one of the reasons; the main reason is the long and tiring journey, which wastes too much time going back and forth.

If it were just for training or something, that would be fine, but the key is that this trip is mostly for romance and to acquire a soul ring along the way, so it's best not to let your little disciple get involved. It would be a waste of his time, and it would be better to let him spend that time on cultivation.

After leaving Shrek Academy, Chen Luo headed straight for Wuhun City.

It took Chen Luo about five days to reach his destination.

Traveling alone is always faster, and with Chen Luo's strength, there's no need for him to use his soul power to transform into a horse.

Compared to my last visit to Wuhun City, it seems much more prosperous now.

Moreover, this place seems to have truly become a city of Soul Masters, with Soul Masters visible everywhere.

This also shows that the Spirit Hall is developing better and better.

Chen Luo did not wander around Wuhun City, but went straight to the Papal Palace.

With the Elder's Token, Chen Luo arrived at the Papal Palace with great ease.

Upon arriving at the council hall of the Papal Palace, Chen Luo revealed his identity and explained his purpose in wanting to see Bibi Dong. He quickly met Bibi Dong as he had hoped, and everything went much more smoothly than he had imagined.

Bibi Dong wore a golden palace dress today, and her graceful figure was still as perfect as ever. Coupled with her stunning face and noble temperament, Chen Luo was still captivated at first sight, even though it had been almost three years since they last met.

"Speak, what brings you here?"

Bibi Dong didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, her voice slightly cold.

Chen Luo said, "I want you to help me obtain my ninth soul ring."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong was slightly taken aback at first, and then immediately asked, "Is it to help that woman obtain her ninth spirit ring?"

Sure enough, in Bibi Dong's view, Liu Erlong had a greater chance of becoming a Title Douluo.

Chen Luo was not surprised by Bibi Dong's reaction and calmly said, "She's helping me. I need to obtain my ninth spirit ring."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression changed drastically, showing shock but mostly confusion.

"How could you possibly reach that level in such a short time?" Bibi Dong asked.

Chen Luo smiled slightly: "Nothing is impossible in this world."

After saying that, he activated his martial spirit, but did not summon the five-clawed golden dragon.

Eight spirit rings—purple, purple, purple, black, black, red, red, red—rose from beneath Chen Luo's feet, revealing his powerful aura.

Based on the aura Chen Luo exuded, Bibi Dong immediately confirmed that Chen Luo had already entered the Title Douluo realm, and now only needed to obtain his ninth soul ring.

However, Bibi Dong's attention was currently focused more on the three 100,000-year soul rings on Chen Luo.

"How...how is this possible?"

Bibi Dong asked in surprise, "Did you obtain the divine test?"

"Yes."

Chen Luo didn't hide it; there was no point in hiding it anymore. When Bibi Dong asked, she already knew the answer.
