Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

Ge Duo said coldly at the end, which could be considered as giving Dai Mubai a final bit of mercy.

“But this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is not a place for you. Immediately, disappear from my sight.”

Before she could finish speaking, Ge Duo suddenly swung her sleeve.

A gentle yet immense force, like an invisible wall, crashed into Dai Mubai and Huo An.

"Well!"

Dai Mubai felt a tightness in his chest and staggered backward involuntarily, taking seven or eight steps before Huo An caught him and helped him regain his balance.

Huo An also let out a muffled groan, his face turning even paler, clearly indicating that even he could not fully withstand this force.

The two looked up, but there was no gap in front of them.

Only the endless, colorful, deadly miasma made it seem as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Dai Mubai stood there, his body trembling slightly with anger and humiliation.

He stared at the poisonous miasma that had ruthlessly shut him out, his eyes blazing with fury that seemed ready to burn the entire area to ashes.

Godot!

He screamed that name wildly in his mind.

He remembered!

Dai Mubai will never forget the humiliation he suffered today!

When he comes to power and becomes a Title Douluo, he will make this woman pay the price for her arrogance and meanness today!

"Your Highness, calm down! This is not a safe place to stay!"

Dai Mubai abruptly shook off Huo An's hand, his chest heaving violently.

hatred!

He hated Davis! He hated Xingluo's damned rules! He hated his father's indifference! And he hated Geduo's ruthless betrayal and humiliation even more!

He was thrown out like trash!

He's Dai Mubai! The third prince of the Star Luo Empire!

A strong killing intent surged within him, almost overwhelming his reason.

He stared intently at the poisonous miasma, his fingernails digging deep into his palms.

But he dared not show it.

He knew perfectly well how ridiculous and insignificant his anger and hatred were in front of a Title Douluo.

It would be no more difficult for the other party to crush him than to crush an ant.

Moreover, as Ge Duo said, there was a contract between them. His future loyalty and resources had already been reserved, and as long as he still wanted those pills that could help him improve quickly, he could not, and dared not, truly break ties with Ge Duo.

This feeling of being controlled by others and having to suppress even his anger almost made him explode.

After a long while, Dai Mubai finally regained his composure.

"Let's go."

He squeezed out three words through gritted teeth, his voice hoarse beyond recognition.

Without glancing again in the direction of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Dai Mubai turned around and, dragging his weary and heavy steps, walked out of the Sunset Forest.

Huo An followed in silence.

……

A few days later, in a mid-range hotel room in Tiandou City.

Dai Mubai stood by the window, looking at the bustling crowds on the street below.

After a few days of recuperation, his fatigue and minor injuries had almost healed. He changed into a clean and neat outfit and barely regained some of his princely demeanor. However, the lingering gloom between his brows made him look much more mature and aloof than his peers.

Gedo's rejection was like a thorn, deeply embedded in his heart.

But it also brought him to his full sober mind.

It is impossible to rely on the protection and charity of others.

Especially in this land that doesn't belong to Xingluo.

He has to rely on himself.

What should I do next?

He needed a place to stay, a place where he could legally remain in the Heaven Dou Empire, where he could meet other Soul Masters his age, and where he could have the opportunity to form a team to participate in the next Soul Master Competition.

The best choice, of course, is to enter a Soul Master Academy.

The first thing that came to his mind was the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

As the highest institution of learning in the Heaven Dou Empire, it gathers the most outstanding resources and geniuses. If one can get in, it is undoubtedly the best starting point.

But he nipped the idea in the bud as soon as it arose.

He chuckled self-deprecatingly.

how is this possible.

He was a prince of the Star Luo Empire, and one who had just escaped.

As an academy directly under the Empire, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is highly politically sensitive. How could it possibly accept a foreign prince with such a sensitive identity, who might even cause diplomatic disputes?

He'll probably be taken into custody as soon as he reveals his identity, then politely sent back to Xingluo, or worse, handed over to Davis's men.

This path is blocked.

Chapter 205 Choosing an Academy

Therefore, Dai Mubai can only consider other academies within the Heaven Dou Empire that can enter the finals of the Advanced Soul Master Competition.

He knew that he could only find an academy that was not too conspicuous, but had a certain level of strength, and that would allow him to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition five years later.

With the path to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy completely blocked, he had to turn his attention to a secondary option.

Dai Mubai quickly abandoned the Five Elements Academy.

Elephant Armor Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, Divine Wind Academy, and others, all backed by the Elephant Armor Sect, are renowned and deeply entrenched within the Heaven Dou Empire, each backed by its own powerful sect.

When recruiting students, their primary considerations are loyalty and compatibility with the sect's martial spirit.

As a prince of the Star Luo Empire, his identity was as sensitive as a red-hot iron. Which sect would dare to take him on so easily?

I'm afraid that as soon as he reveals his identity, he'll be politely asked to leave, and then the news will immediately reach Xingluo and Davis's ears.

The risk is too great, and the losses outweigh the gains.

Dai Mubai frowned, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the rough wooden windowsill, producing a dull tinkling sound.

Huo An stood silently in the corner of the room, not disturbing his thoughts.

"We need to find someone with a relatively simple background, not too flashy, but with some solid foundation..."

Dai Mubai muttered to himself, his mind rapidly filtering through the information he had previously gathered about the various academies of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Names flashed by, only to be quickly rejected by him.

Finally, a name stuck in his mind: Canghui Academy.

Yes, Canghui College.

Dai Mubai's eyes lit up slightly.

He vaguely remembered this academy; it seemed to manage to reach the finals every year, albeit with some difficulty, although they were usually eliminated in the first round. At least they had the qualification to participate.

Moreover, the location of Canghui Academy...

Dai Mubai strode to the table, spread out a somewhat rudimentary map of the Heavenly Dou Empire, and traced his finger across it, finally landing on a provincial capital not too far from Sunset Forest.

Canghui Academy is located there.

Being close to Sunset Forest means that it will be easy for him to contact Godot in the future.

Despite being rejected so ruthlessly last time, Dai Mubai's desire to get in touch with Ge Duo never truly died out.

Most importantly, while Canghui Academy is not weak, it is by no means top-tier.

For a Soul Master as talented as him, such an academy, which is neither high-end nor low-end, would be more attractive in terms of recruitment.

They need a highly skilled individual who can lead the academy to even greater success.

Dai Mubai believed that with his current talent and the supply of pills that Ge Duo had provided despite refusing to protect him, he would definitely become a high-level Soul Master in five years, and even touch the threshold of Soul King!

With the quality of his Evil-Eyed White Tiger, coupled with the soul ring he absorbed that was above his level and the foundation enhanced by pills, his actual combat power is definitely far superior to those of his peers.

At that time, it's not impossible for Canghui Academy to go further in the Soul Master Competition.

“Huo An.” Dai Mubai raised his head, his eyes regaining that light that mixed with ambition and calculation.

"We're not going to Tiandou City. We'll change our route and go to Solto City, where Canghui Academy is located."

Huo An stepped forward, glanced at the location marked on the map, and without any objection, simply replied in a deep voice, "Yes, Your Highness."

Having made the decision, Dai Mubai felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from his heart.

Without further hesitation, he packed his simple luggage, paid the room fee, and set off on his journey with Huo An once again.

……

The journey from Tiandou City to Solto City is not short.

Therefore, they hired a horse-drawn carriage to go there.

Dai Mubai leaned against the slightly swaying carriage wall with his eyes closed, while Huo An sat opposite him.

For several days in a row, we were on the road.

Dai Mubai was not in a good mood. He had left the oppressive cage of Xingluo, but instead of arriving at the refuge he had expected, he was like a rootless duckweed, drifting in this unfamiliar empire.

With his future uncertain, Ge Duo's cold and mocking face kept flashing through his mind, making his chest feel tight.

He subconsciously touched the storage soul tool he kept close to his body; the jade bottles inside were his only source of confidence at this moment.

The carriage wheels rolled over the road, making a monotonous, repetitive noise.
