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

Knowing that such a disparate skill level would occur in the competition, the format of the exchange tournament was very simple: from the very first match, winning meant advancing and losing meant elimination. It was all about teamwork and spirit, with no other fancy competition elements.

There are a total of 32 teams, with 16 teams in the first division and 16 teams in the second division. If all goes well, the champion of the exchange competition will be determined in four days.

To be fair, teams one compete against teams one, and teams two compete against teams two. Team two is just there to make up the numbers, and there is still a gap in quality between them and teams one, except for those teams whose quality is inherently very poor.

Shrek's goal was clear: the Shrek Seven Devils would fight their way through the first team competition, while the Shrek Second Team would fight their way through the second team competition. The two teams would eventually meet in the finals, taking both the championship and runner-up titles and winning the most prize money.

Two days later.

Shrek Academy's first and second teams advanced to the finals with overwhelming force, and their opponents were both from Tian Dou Royal Academy.

There are a few relatively good teams, but even goodness has different levels, and they are no match for Shrek Academy and Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

It seems destined from the beginning that this exchange match would be between Shrek Academy and Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

As evening fell, in a pavilion outside the Shrek Academy rest area, Flander and Chen Luo were drinking and eating meat.

"Tomorrow is the day the little monsters will compete against their old rivals. I'm really looking forward to it," Flander said with a smile.

Chen Luo said, "Actually, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy could have directly invited our Shrek Academy to come and exchange ideas. Why go to all that trouble and hold some kind of exchange competition in the name of the Heaven Dou Royal Family?"

Flander laughed: "Look at what you're saying. Don't the other academies have any pride? Our Shrek Academy is just an unknown little academy, at most it's known around Soto City. I bet they don't even know that our Shrek Academy is this strong."

"Qin Ming should have mentioned the match between the little monsters and the Royal Fighting Team," Chen Luo said.

“It must have been mentioned, otherwise we wouldn’t have had this opportunity.”

Flanders said, "But saying it and believing it are two different things."

“That’s true.” Chen Luo nodded.

Flander laughed and said, "Actually, the Heavenly Dou Royal Family didn't want to invite unknown academies like ours. They probably didn't expect those famous academies to be so disrespectful."

Chen Luo said, "For ordinary Soul Masters, as long as they have enough Gold Soul Coins, they can still attract some. But powerful Soul Masters don't care about the so-called Gold Soul Coins, especially talented Soul Masters. Most of them are already well-off and are not short of money."

"Even if there are a few students with poor conditions, as long as they are good enough, the academy can meet all their needs."

"Nowadays, it's getting harder and harder to win over Soul Masters. Simply trying to win them over with Gold Soul Coins isn't that easy."

Flander smiled slightly: "Don't be so blunt, it's making me a little embarrassed. But I admit, I'm here for the money, since they're offering so much."

"Hehehe..."

Chen Luo's lips curled slightly: "Do you think they'll give it all at once?"

Flanders said, "Of course not. I'll give you whatever I can. I already know what I'm doing."

"They are, after all, the Heaven Dou royal family. Even if we don't join them, they shouldn't be too stingy."

Enjoying drinks and food with friends while chatting about all sorts of things is incredibly pleasant.

Whether at Shrek Academy or here at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Chen Luo and Flander both enjoyed their time together.

But even the best times are fleeting, and no one knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first.

Just as Chen Luo and Flander clinked glasses again, several little monsters came over. Their faces all looked rather grim, especially Xiao Wu, whose face was deathly pale.

Seeing that the little monsters were acting strangely, Flander's smile vanished, and he immediately asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Dai Mubai said, "Tang San is missing."

Chapter 111 Meeting an Old Friend

"Tang San is missing?"

Upon hearing this, both Chen Luo and Flander frowned.

"What happened? Explain it clearly," Flander asked hurriedly.

Dai Mubai said, "After dinner, we planned to discuss how to deal with the Heaven Dou Royal Team tomorrow, but Tang San went back to his room and never came back."

"We searched everywhere, but we couldn't find Tang San."

"We inquired with the teachers and students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but we received no news of Tang San."

Ma Hongjun said, "Yes, Tang San just vanished as if he had suddenly disappeared."

"Master, what should we do..." Xiao Wu seemed very worried.

Flander and Chen Luo exchanged a glance, having already roughly guessed Tang San's situation.

As early as when Chen Luo and Flander arrived at the pavilion for their meal, they noticed the little monsters hurrying by, but they didn't pay much attention to them.

Chen Luo said, "Everyone, calm down first. Tang San couldn't have just disappeared into thin air. You guys keep looking and expand the search area. Dean Flander and I will go find the people from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and ask them to help us look for Tang San."

Even though he already had the answer in his heart, Chen Luo still wanted to confirm it again and again.

"Yes, Master!"

The little monsters continued their search, and the rest of the Shrek crew joined the search party.

Chen Luo and Flander went to find Qin Ming, and then, under Qin Ming's guidance, met the leaders of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

The person disappeared at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy bears an undeniable responsibility. Chen Luo and Flander's biggest worry is that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy will ignore the matter.

Fortunately, their attitude was quite good; they didn't shirk responsibility at all and cooperated very actively in the search.

Afterwards, Flander and Chen Luo went to Tang San's room but found no useful clues.

Qin Ming had been searching with Flanders and Chen Luo, feeling both puzzled and somewhat guilty.

"It's all my fault for not taking good care of the younger students..." Qin Ming sighed.

Flander said, "They're not children anymore. Are you expecting them to guard them every day? Don't overthink it. Finding them is the most important thing right now."

Chen Luo asked, "Qin Ming, has the Title Douluo you mentioned arrived at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the past two days?"

Qin Ming said, "I don't know much about it either. I've only heard some rumors. That titled Douluo senior has always been elusive. I've been at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy for a while now, but I've only seen him once."

Flander asked, "Is his name Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo?"

Qin Ming nodded: "Yes, it is indeed Senior Poison Douluo."

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

"Dean, you didn't ask either..."

"..."

Flanders had heard this kind of talk countless times, and he felt slightly annoyed.

Chen Luo said, "There's nothing more to think about. Let's go find Dugu Bo."

"Sure?"

"Only a Title Douluo-level expert could take someone away silently. Who else could it be but Dugu Bo?"

Flanders nodded: "Okay, let's go find someone first."

"Qin Ming."

"Yes, Dean!"

"Help us find out some information about Dugu Bo, preferably something like where he lives."

"Yes, Dean!"

After nodding, Qin Ming couldn't help but ask, "Dean, Poison Douluo is at least a Title Douluo-level expert. Why would he kidnap Junior Brother Tang San for no reason? Could you have made a mistake?"

“How much do you know about Dugu Bo?” Flander asked.

Qin Ming said, "I've only met him once, and I don't know much about him."

“Dugu Yan is Dugu Bo’s granddaughter, you should know that, right?” Flander said.

Qin Ming nodded: "I know, but Dugu Yan never mentions her grandfather in front of others."

Flander said, "In the team battle competition at the Soto Grand Arena, Dugu Yan, who is also a control-type Soul Master, lost to Tang San."

Qin Ming was somewhat incomprehensible: "No way, would a Title Douluo powerhouse be such a narrow-minded person?"

"How many good people can use poison?"

Flander said, then looked at Chen Luo and added, "I didn't mention your disciple Tang San."

As they spoke, Chen Luo and his group arrived outside the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Chen Luo said, "Because Tang San broke Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorus Serpent Venom."

After saying that, Chen Luo and Flander left. Qin Ming stood there for a moment, then immediately went back to launch an investigation.

Actually, it doesn't matter much whether Qin Ming goes to investigate or not. Chen Luo knows where Dugu Bo is and also knows who Flander is taking him to see.

These things can't be said in advance; we have to proceed step by step.

After leaving the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Flander and Chen Luo headed to Heaven Dou City as quickly as possible. When they arrived at the city gate, both Chen Luo and Flander noticed a recruitment notice from a high-level soul master academy called Blue Tyrant.

Chen Luo appeared calm, but Flander's expression was somewhat complicated.

Walking on the streets of Tiandou City, Flander, whether trying to distract Chen Luo or simply wanting to know the reason, suddenly asked, "Was Dugu Yan's snake venom really cured by the wine that Tang San concocted?"

Chen Luo shook his head: "It shouldn't be. If the Jade Phosphorus Serpent Venom were so easy to counter, there would be no Poison Douluo in this world."

"In my opinion, the key to cracking the venom of the Jade Phosphorus Snake is Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Flame."

Flander said, "Wouldn't that mean Tang San is suffering in Ma Hongjun's place...?"

Chen Luo said, "The method was Tang San's idea, and the wine was also thrown out by Tang San, so it's normal that he was targeted."

Flanders said, "Now that you say that, I feel much better."

As they spoke, they arrived at the gate of Blue Tyrant Academy.

Chen Luo feigned confusion and asked, "Didn't you say you were taking me to see someone? What are we doing at this Soul Master Academy?"

“She’s in the Soul Master Academy. Without her, even if we find Dugu Bo, we’ll probably just be throwing our lives away,” Flander said.

"I know who it is," Chen Luo said. Pretending to be ignorant at this point would be going too far.

Flanders asked, "Are we still going?"

Then, Flander reminded him, "The two of us are not strong enough to deal with a Title Douluo."

“Go,” Chen Luo said calmly.

"it is good!"
