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

But feelings are something that take time to adjust to.

"If you want to leave, why are you trying to drive me away?" Liu Erlong's eyes instantly reddened.

"I didn't kick you out, I was just asking..."

Chen Luo said, "You're the dean of the academy, you must have a lot to do every day, right?"

Liu Erlong said, "It's nothing. Even if something were to happen, it wouldn't be as important as you."

Upon seeing Liu Erlong's burning eyes, Chen Luo subconsciously shifted his gaze.

"What should I say..."

Having not experienced romantic relationships for so long, Chen Luo discovered that some of his once-proud skills had atrophied.

At this age, who hasn't been with a few women? It's just that as we get older, we gradually pass the stage of excessive desire. The so-called feelings in the past were all driven by desire. Our bodies were always ready to act for love, and our mouths were as sweet as honey. There was no topic we couldn't talk about.

However, Chen Luo was now in an awkward situation, not knowing what to talk about.

Just then, a series of system notifications suddenly rang in Chen Luo's mind—

[A secret realm has been sensed. Location: Sunset Forest, the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire!]

[Special mission detected. Accept?]

Chen Luo was slightly taken aback, then couldn't help but think to himself, "Only now did you sense the existence of the secret realm?"

"Why didn't you wait until I returned to Soto City to sense it?"

While Chen Luo was still in a daze, he suddenly felt a warm embrace as Liu Erlong gently hugged him.

Despite the foreign sensation in front of him making his mouth dry, Chen Luo was responding to the system at this moment.

"Accept a special mission."

Let's see what this special mission is first.

Chapter 117 Shrek Academy

After Chen Luo accepted the offer, information about the special mission gradually appeared before his eyes—

[Special Mission: Rejoin the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family.]

[Mission Objective: Travel to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, pass the clan's test, rejoin the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, and learn about Yu Xiaogang's true background.]

[Task Rewards: Determined based on task completion rate.]

[Note: This mission has a high risk factor and a one-year time limit!]

Hold me.

Chen Luo was quickly browsing information about the special mission when Liu Erlong's gentle voice suddenly rang out.

Chen Luo gently hugged him, but his attention remained focused on the special mission.

"I can understand this special mission allowing me to pass the family test and rejoin the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan; it was already part of my future plans. But what's with finding out Yu Xiaogang's true background?"

Chen Luo wondered, "Could it be that Yu Xiaogang was adopted?"

"It's unlikely that he was picked up. Yu Xiaogang does have some Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex bloodline, but it's not pure enough. Otherwise, Luo Sanpao wouldn't have appeared. No matter how much Luo Sanpao mutates, his origin should still be Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex."

"The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is not an ordinary martial soul. Its rating should be around S-level. As long as the bloodline is pure enough, even if this type of martial soul mutates, it should develop in a good direction. For example, Liu Erlong's Fire Dragon. The appearance of Luo Sanpao itself has certain problems."

"In any case, since the special mission brought this up, it means that Yu Xiaogang's background is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface."

"maybe……"

Thinking of this, Chen Luo's eyes lit up, a hint of surprise in his heart: "Perhaps Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong weren't related by blood at all..."

Chen Luo composed himself, feeling the warmth and softness of Liu Erlong's body, and his heart gradually grew hot.

The two embraced for a moment, then Liu Erlong took the initiative to separate.

"I'm already very grateful to have been able to spend these past two days with you. I know you need some time to adjust, but I'll wait for you."

Liu Erlong smiled and said, "We've already waited so many years, what's a little more time?"

Chen Luo didn't know what to say, and finally just slowly said, "I'm sorry..."

Liu Erlong said, "I know your personality. You don't need to apologize to me. I am really grateful that you were able to choose me again."

Liu Erlong, who had a smile on her face, began to redden her eyes again.

"Alright, we'll have plenty of time to spend together in the future. You should go back and get some rest; you must be tired these past few days," Liu Erlong said.

Chen Luo asked instinctively, "And you?"

Liu Erlong laughed and said, "Of course I'll stay here at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. I can't let you run away again! I am, after all, the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy. It shouldn't be difficult for me to have a place to stay here. I also want to see the strength of those little monsters you mentioned."

Chen Luo nodded gently: "Yes, it's getting late. Let me take you to arrange your accommodation. One of our Shrek Academy's former students is now a teacher at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"Qin Ming?"

"Yes, you know each other?"

“He was there when we had dinner, and you introduced him to me before.”

"Ah, really? I forgot..."

Chen Luo and Liu Erlong quickly found Qin Ming. Chen Luo didn't even need to mention Liu Erlong's residence to Qin Ming, as Qin Ming had already made arrangements.

Just as Liu Erlong said, she was, after all, the dean of Lanba Academy.

Although Blue Tyrant Academy did not participate in this advanced soul master academy exchange competition, Liu Erlong, as the dean, was still able to enjoy VIP treatment when she came to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Furthermore, Liu Erlong is not only the dean of Lanba Academy.

How could someone who can open a Soul Master Academy in Heaven Dou City have an ordinary identity?

After escorting Liu Erlong back to her room, Chen Luo returned to his own residence.

He and Liu Erlong do need some time to adjust, and Liu Erlong is so sensible that it's heartbreaking.

Chen Luo didn't want to think about matters of the heart anymore; thinking about them too much would give her a headache, so she simply let nature take its course.

Lying in bed, Chen Luo was physically exhausted but mentally alert. He glanced at the information about the special mission.

The previous special mission, the Trial of the Killing City, was automatically triggered because Chen Luo's strength had reached the required level and he was preparing to go out for training.

This special mission goes without saying; after meeting Liu Erlong, it's inevitable that they'll get involved with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

Furthermore, returning to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family was already part of Chen Luo's original plan, thus triggering the mission.

Chen Luo felt that he had found the rules for triggering this special mission, but he didn't have a specific idea, so he could only let nature take its course.

In any case, I will definitely accept any special missions, as the rewards for special missions are quite generous.

However, special missions are always accompanied by significant risks. Failure to complete a mission will likely result in death. Even if you don't die during the mission, the system's punishment will probably be fatal.

"The special mission has a one-year time limit, so let's not rush. Let's use this time to improve our strength first. Returning to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family will definitely not be easy. The mission has indicated that there will be family tests. The stronger we are, the greater our chances of passing the tests will be."

"I must go to the Dragon's Secret Realm of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. It is one of the few ways for me to quickly improve my strength in the near future."

"It just so happens that Tang San will be staying with Dugu Bo for a while. I can use the excuse of waiting for Tang San to stay in Tiandou City and find an opportunity to go to Sunset Forest during this time."

Once the Dragon Key detects the existence of the Dragon Realm, it can open the realm near it without having to go to the realm itself.

The next day.

The matter of Tang San's disappearance at Shrek Academy has come to an end, and the Advanced Soul Master Academy Exchange Tournament continues.

If something were to happen to Tang San, the exchange competition would certainly be unable to continue. However, Tang San is alive and well and is still studying under a Title Douluo. This is a problem for Shrek Academy itself, so the exchange competition will naturally proceed as scheduled.

With only six Shrek Seven Devils left, they were clearly no match for the first team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Yu Tianheng and his team were no joke. Given the huge difference in strength, the Shrek Seven Devils simply couldn't win without using cheat codes, especially since they were outnumbered.

The second team easily won, but the final battle was also a foregone conclusion. Shrek Second Team was completely crushed, and Tiandou Royal Academy won the championship of this exchange competition.

Even though they won second place, Shrek Academy still received a reward of 500,000 gold soul coins, proving that the Heaven Dou royal family was as wealthy and powerful as ever.

Being able to spend money is a skill in itself, but not all colleges value such a large sum of money.

Flander was indeed motivated by money, but he also genuinely wanted to broaden the students' horizons. He also had his own selfish desire: to reunite the golden trio.

After the exchange competition, all the Shrek members did not return immediately, but instead went to Blue Tyrant Academy for a visit and learning.

"What? You're going to hand over Blue Tyrant Academy to me?"

Outside the thatched hut where Liu Erlong lived, the three members of the Golden Iron Triangle were drinking tea and chatting.

Flander looked at Liu Erlong with surprise and confusion in his eyes.

Liu Erlong appeared calm: "Yes, Boss Fu."

Chapter 118 Opening the Secret Realm

"How can this be allowed?"

Flanders immediately refused: "This is your hard work!"

Liu Erlong smiled slightly and said, "I guess so. It was a dream of mine before, but after the academy was built, I didn't pay much attention to its affairs. If you, Boss Fu, could build such an excellent academy as Shrek Academy, Blue Tyrant Academy can certainly do it too. No, Blue Tyrant Academy no longer exists. This is also Shrek Academy, Shrek Branch!"

"This……"

Flanders hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Liu Erlong laughed and said, "Boss Fu, just agree!"

Chen Luo then spoke up: "Boss Fu, agree! Have you forgotten our goal after rebuilding Shrek Academy? To make Shrek Academy bigger and stronger!"

Flander wanted to say something more, but under Chen Luo's firm gaze, he finally agreed: "Okay."

Seeing that Flander had agreed, Liu Erlong's smile grew even wider: "I'll arrange the handover tomorrow."

Flanders said, "Is there any need to be in such a hurry?"

"Of course it's urgent! We need to get it done before you run out of your 500,000 gold soul coins reward!" Liu Erlong said, feigning seriousness.

Flanders: "..."

Over the next few days, Liu Erlong and Flander began the handover process at the academy.

Flander didn't have to do much; he just needed to copy Shrek Academy's original system and combine it with Blue Tyrant Academy's original system.

Finally, all we need to do is find a vice dean who is as energetic as Zhao Wuji, and the Shrek Academy branch will be settled.
