Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

Yuan Enhui's eyebrows furrowed. She vaguely sensed that this guy's gaze was very presumptuous, and his smug, boyish face desperately needed a good pat!

"The matter is resolved. Now you can focus on your work. He won't make things difficult for you again."

A clear voice suddenly rang out, and Yuan Enhui turned his head to look. Zhao Xuanzhen was leaning against the front desk with a smile on his face.

"thank you boss."

Compared to Yue Zhengyu, Zhao Xuanzhen's image instantly became hundreds of times more imposing and radiant. Yuan Enhui had never thought that his boss was so handsome and imposing before!

"Um, boss..."

Yuan Enhui's red lips parted slightly, seemingly hesitant to speak, but meeting Zhao Xuanzhen's probing gaze, she gritted her teeth and said:

"Are you free lately?"

"Tell me what it is first, and then I'll see if I have time."

"I started making a one-word battle armor in my second year, but my battle armor is a bit special. None of the second-year mecha manufacturers have this skill. Could you please help me?"

"To manufacture battle armor..."

Zhao Xuanzhen gently tapped the front desk, and Yuan Enhui held his breath, waiting for Zhao Xuanzhen's decision.

The difficulty of creating one-word battle armor varies. Due to the existence of the twin martial souls Titan Giant Ape and Fallen Angel, Yuanen Yehui's one-word battle armor must adapt to both martial souls at the same time, making it almost the most difficult one-word battle armor to create.

The second-year strongest mecha maker is only at level four, barely reaching the minimum requirement for creating a one-word battle armor, and is completely unable to create Yuan En Hui's battle armor.

In another timeline, Yuan En Ye Hui's One-Word Battle Armor was created by Le Zheng Yu, but at this moment, Yuan En Ye Hui was not familiar with Le Zheng Yu, and even had a very bad first impression of him. There was a better choice in front of her - Zhao Xuan Zhen, a coffee shop owner and senior level 5 mecha manufacturer whom she had known for three years.

"Let me ask in advance, how much salary does Boss Yuanen plan to pay the mecha manufacturers?" Zhao Xuanzhen chuckled. "Friendly reminder, among the outer members of the Mecha Manufacturing Association, I always charge the highest fees, yet I'm still fully booked every week."

The poor girl, utterly dejected, said, "Boss, you know perfectly well how much I pay you each month. Just take what you think is fair."

"Since you're an outstanding employee at Xuanlong Cafe, I'll give you a 31% discount."

"The boss is so generous!!!"

Yuan Enhui was overjoyed. Not only had he found a super mecha maker, but he had also saved a huge sum of money!

Seeing the excited Yuan Enhui, Zhao Xuanzhen's lips curled into a slight smile. In interpersonal relationships, one should know the art of leaving room for interpretation. Unconditional giving makes one seem cheap, like a sycophant who fawns over others.

Free services would make Yuan En Ye Hui suspect that the boss had ill intentions towards the employees, but discounts were a completely different story, and Yuan En Ye Hui was filled with boundless gratitude for the boss's generosity.

"By the way, boss, mecha repairmen need to be involved in the mecha design and manufacturing process..." Yuan Enhui said apologetically, "I study in the morning and work at the coffee shop in the afternoon. Could you please come and manufacture the battle armor in the evening?"

“No problem, I’ll find some time tonight to talk to you.” Zhao Xuanzhen nodded. “You are currently the only work-study student in the academy. Let’s meet in the work-study student dormitory for the first time. It’s quiet there with fewer people. I’ll take a look at your One-Word Battle Armor design first.”

"Okay, whatever the boss says!"

After agreeing to help Yuanen Yehui create battle armor, Zhao Xuanzhen returned to the booth and found that the two beautiful girls had ordered a large amount of desserts.

Gu Yue, with the graceful demeanor of a princess, ate slowly and deliberately, while Na'er transformed into a silver tornado, and as the wind swept through, plates of desserts vanished without a trace.

Zhao Xuanzhen was not surprised. He sat down and took a sip of hazelnut iced drink. Gu Yue saw that Na'er was engrossed in finishing her dessert. She gently lifted a milk pudding with her delicate hand, bypassed Zhao Xuanzhen's outstretched hand, and directly put it to Na'er's lips.

"..."

You're so bold, don't you even try to hide it from people?

Zhao Xuanzhen leaned back slightly to show his refusal and winked at Gu Yue. The girl ignored him and pressed the milk pudding less than a centimeter away from Zhao Xuanzhen's lips. Her clear, dark eyes were full of smiles, yet also exuded an air of dominance.

Why should I avoid people? Why doesn't she avoid me?

Gu Yue stubbornly held up the milk pudding, showing no intention of giving up. Zhao Xuanzhen hesitated for 0.25 seconds before finally embedding his teeth into the pudding.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yue's face lit up with a smile, like a cunning little fox, as she intentionally or unintentionally brushed her index finger against Zhao Xuanzhen's lips.

Na'er, engrossed in showing off her food, was completely unaware that by the time she had a fuller belly and looked up, Zhao Xuanzhen and Gu Yue had already returned to normal, one quietly drinking coffee and the other silently eating dessert.

Feeling that Na'er had eaten enough, Zhao Xuanzhen asked Gu Yue, "Should we continue exploring Shrek City, or should I introduce you to Shrek Academy?"

Gu Yue shook her head: "I'm not going. I want to tidy up my dorm."

“We’ll go with you… Oh, I don’t think I can, boys are not allowed in the girls’ dormitory…” Zhao Xuanzhen said halfway before suddenly realizing the gender issue.

“It’s okay, I’ll help her clean up!” Na’er said abruptly.

"Ok?"

Zhao Xuanzhen and Gu Yue tilted their heads in unison, their eyes fixed on Na'er like infrared searchlights. Something was definitely amiss!

"What are you doing?!"

Na'er's cheeks puffed out like a pufferfish as she huffed, "Aunt Leng has spoken! We, the Trident, are united!"

"A weak and feeble explanation."

"This doesn't fit your public image..."

Xuan Yue and the other girl's faces clearly said "You're up to something." Na'er's initiative in helping Gu Yue must have ulterior motives!

“Xuanzhen, since Na’er is so enthusiastic… then that’s perfect, let’s have a good chat about our feelings.”

Gu Yue raised an eyebrow. "I'd like to see what kind of tricks you're up to!"

"Yes, yes, we girls are just having a chat. Zhao Xuanzhen, you stay here for a bit. I want to eat chicken cartilage from Phoenix Street, can you buy me fifty pounds?"

"……it is good."

Zhao Xuanzhen nodded with a complicated expression.

The three split into two groups. Zhao Xuanzhen went alone to Phoenix Street in the outer city to buy chicken cartilage, while Na'er, arm in arm with Gu Yue, looked like close best friends, and returned to Shrek Academy.

Na'er possesses the wisdom and spirit of heaven and earth, while Gu Yue is free from worldly vulgarity. The two stunningly beautiful girls, one in silver and the other in jet black, form a beautiful landscape that attracts countless gazes along the way.

Without Zhao Xuanzhen separating them, they walked side by side. A discerning observer might notice that the two women's height, leg length, face shape, and every graceful curve of their figures were remarkably similar.

At first glance, their facial features seem different, but upon closer inspection, they have a wonderful harmony. They don't look like twins at all, but rather like twins.

Because Shrek Academy enrolls students every three years, with about one hundred students per class, and there are various situations such as elimination, graduation, and admission to the inner academy among the outer academy disciples, the entire outer academy has less than six hundred students in total. Therefore, the outer academy dormitory buildings do not occupy a large area, with twelve dormitory buildings for six grades, half male and half female.

The dormitories of Shrek Academy in the era of the Dragon King Legend were neither as dilapidated and cramped as they were 10,000 years ago, with hundreds of students vying for two toilets, nor as luxurious as the detached villas 10,000 years later. They were just simple and ordinary tenement buildings.

The long corridor is lined with dormitory doors, each with a number on it.

In dormitory 520, Gu Yue took out her key and opened the door. A rush of stale air rushed out, and the room was full of dust. Na'er opened the window to ventilate the room, and Gu Yue summoned a water elemental to clean the room.

The Foreign Languages ​​Department has single dorm rooms, which are about 20 square meters in size. In addition to a spacious iron bunk bed, there is only a set of desk and chair and a minimalist metal wardrobe. Fortunately, the dorm rooms are equipped with private bathrooms, which is convenient for students of the Foreign Languages ​​Department to take showers.

"This is terrible..." Na'er looked around and couldn't help but complain, "Luckily, Zhao Xuanzhen had foresight back then and made a deal with Shrek Academy, allowing us to move directly into the cabin on Seagod Island and even use the life energy of the Golden Tree to cultivate."

Gu Yue snorted coldly, casually tossing the dirty water ball into the bathroom drain. Leaning against the corner of the wooden table, she crossed her arms to appear more authoritative and said:

"So, now that you're willing to part ways with Xuanzhen, what do you plan to talk to me about alone?"

The silver-haired girl trotted up to Gu Yue, her eyes gleaming with eager anticipation, and said with a drooling grin:

"Gu Yuezi, tsk, don't say that, we're best friends!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue instantly got goosebumps and retreated to the wall to distance herself from Na'er, warning, "I inherited the wisdom of the Dragon God, don't try to fool me with this kind of trick, get to the point!"

"Alright, looks like you're not buying it." Na'er scratched her brow. "Give me a soul bone, just one!"

"Ferocious beast level is best, 100,000 years is acceptable, must have Yin-Yang attribute, spiritual attribute, or spatial attribute. Of course, other exceptionally excellent soul bones are also acceptable, such as the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King's torso bone, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear King's arm bones, the Emerald Swan Wings' external soul bone..."

"Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"

Gu Yue tilted her head and stared intently at the eloquent Na'er: "Do you think I look like a restaurant, serving up dishes here?"

“How could that be? This is a request!” Na’er retorted.

“Yin and Yang, spirit, space…” Gu Yue repeated, seemingly lost in thought, “The latter two are general-purpose soul bones, while the Yin and Yang attributes are more specific. Are you asking Xuanzhen for a soul bone?”

"hold head high."

Na'er decided to stop hiding it and activated the aura of the Thorn Dragon Emperor, saying, "This 100,000-year-old soul bone was obtained from Shrek Academy. Its spatial attribute is like a panacea; either of us could absorb it. In the end, Zhao Xuanzhen gave it to me..."

“I understand.” Gu Yue understood immediately. “You feel guilty and want to give Xuanzhen a soul bone that is better than the Thorn Dragon Emperor in return, so you set your sights on me.”

"You're so smart! The Dragon God's wisdom is terrifying!" Na'er gave a thumbs up.

"Stop with the pretty words!" Gu Yue snapped. "You're quite clever, aren't you? You know I have soul bones accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years in the Star Dou Great Forest, and you just ask for them!"

"Can you give it to me?" Na'er asked tentatively. "I can pay for it."

Gu Yue laughed angrily: "The Lord of Soul Beasts sells soul bones, do you think I have no shame?"

"Equivalent exchange, an unchanging principle of the world. I'll give you a 200,000-year-old ferocious beast soul bone if you agree to two conditions."

"Oh? Tell me quickly!"

"First, spend the night with me..."

"no!"

Na'er interrupted Gu Yue on the spot, her face showing fear, and she shrank back.

"I can sell my soul, but I will never sell my body!"

"Body my foot! All you ever think about is food and sex!"

Gu Yue roared furiously, his composure completely gone: "It's cultivation, cultivation!"

“Oh, cultivation…” Na’er stammered, “I thought you were going crazy from being in seclusion…”

Suppressing his anger, Gu Yue said coldly, "The first condition is that you come here to cultivate with me for three days every week. Your bloodline aura will help me recover from my injuries faster, and even repair some of the missing bloodlines."

Secondly, didn't you say that Yunming wanted you to continue living on Seagod Island and not go to the outer academy to study? I need you to agree to that.

"This……"

Na'er showed a resistant expression, and that was for five whole mornings!

Gu Yue said calmly, "I've given you three years of grace, it's time for you to pay me back. Na'er, you don't want Xuanzhen to lose his beast soul bone, do you?"

"Let's make a one-year agreement. Do as I ask, and the soul bone will naturally be given to you after one year."

In exchange for some useless items, Na'er was eliminated for a year. After being reworked and returning, Queen Guyue is determined to take back everything!

"Okay, I promise you!"

Na'er hadn't achieved a perfect strategy in seven years, and she didn't believe Gu Yue could do it in a year!

The next second, two fair hands reached out and struck each other heavily in mid-air!

"Pah, pah, pah!"

Three high fives, and the agreement is made!

Chapter 62 Beware of fire, theft, and Gu Yue; Zhao Xuanzhen, the target of everyone's criticism, and the nine geniuses join forces (4K)

They slept soundly through the night, and the next day, Zhao Xuanzhen, Na'er, Ye Xinglan, and Xu Lizhi arrived at the Zero Class classroom early. Shen Yi stood in the center of the podium, his dark green eyes sweeping over the four students he had known for three years, and slowly began to speak:

"Students, according to the decision of the Sea God Pavilion meeting, Shrek Academy Class Zero will be officially abolished starting today. Since all students are thirteen years old, you will be merged into the first-year freshman class of the outer academy."

The four students are exceptionally talented and have achieved outstanding results in their three years of study. Therefore, the academy is rewarding them by exempting Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi from the punishment for their defeat. When you break through to the fifth ring Soul King and become a one-word Battle Armor Master, you can be exempted from the upgrade assessment and directly enroll in the Inner Academy to continue your studies.

Zhao Xuanzhen has acquired all the resources to create a complete set of One-Word Battle Armor, including the four complete processes of refining metal, designing the armor, manufacturing it, and repairing it. If you wish to be self-sufficient, you are permitted to either give the opportunity to someone else or convert it into cash.

Na'er..."

When it was Na'er's turn, Shen Yi paused for a second without realizing it, his expression somewhat strange as he said:

"The academy will reward Na'er with a customized learning plan, allowing her to stay on Seagod Island and not study at the outer academy. The course schedule will be the same as all classes at Shrek Academy, with classes every morning from Monday to Friday, including three practical combat sessions, one battle armor session, and one moral education theory session."

The six grades of the School of Foreign Languages ​​are currently holding their opening ceremony. After it's over, I will take you to the freshman teaching building for registration.

After making the announcement, Shen Yi strode out of Class Zero's classroom, and the four of them chatted freely.

"They really disbanded..."

On the first day of school, Shrek Class Zero was disbanded. In Zhao Xuanzhen's memory, in another timeline, Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi joined the first year of the Foreign Languages ​​Department about a month after the start of the semester. Now, the timeline has changed slightly, most likely due to the butterfly effect caused by him and Na'er.

In the past two years, Yun Mingya and her husband have been trying to persuade Na'er to become their apprentice from time to time, using every trick in the book to try and change Na'er's mind.

The silver-haired girl may seem unreliable on the surface, but her inner convictions are unwavering; her bottom line is her bottom line, and she will not cross it. No matter how skillfully Yun Ming wielded his divine spear, or how much Ya Li talked until her throat was dry, Na'er stubbornly refused to budge.

Disbanding Shrek Class Zero and arranging a customized plan for them, Zhao Xuanzhen realized something. He condensed his mental energy into an invisible shield to prevent the conversation from leaking out, and looked at the carefree Na'er, saying in a deep voice:

"Na'er, surprise test! Analyze why Shrek Academy is treating you specially."

"Reporting to Teacher Zhen!"

Na'er sat up straight and said in a serious tone, "The little tricks of the Sky-Supporting Douluo can't fool the clever and resourceful me. He just wants to separate us so that Shrek can defeat us one by one!"

“Absolutely correct!” Zhao Xuanzhen nodded in satisfaction, then asked, “So why did you agree to stay on Seagod Island with Sky Douluo?”
