Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

Ye Xinglan leaned back against the bouncy chair, her slender legs crossed, and said calmly, "This has always been the way of the academy. Students can challenge their opponents without regard to the consequences, using any means necessary. We follow the rules. If the Tang Sect has any objections, they can raise them with the Sea God Pavilion."

“Some rules have been in effect for thousands or tens of thousands of years, but that doesn’t mean they are right. Many forces on the continent are complaining about Shrek Academy’s final exams,” Gu Yueqing said. “Our challenge to the Tang Sect has already broken the unspoken rules, since not many Shrek students dare to make a move against the Tang Sect.”

Xu Xiaoyan, a Tang Sect disciple in the co-pilot's seat, shrank back. Gu Yue's words revealed the secret: which Shrek Academy student didn't know that the two super powers were in cahoots? Many of the Sea God Pavilion elders were members of the Tang Sect.

Zhao Xuanzhen chuckled and said, "Shrek Academy has stood at the top for too long. The overall environment is filled with spoiled and arrogant people. Let heroes test heroes and good men fight good men. At this point in time, only the Tang Sect, which is united with the same spirit, can change this number one academy on the continent."

"Only when the whip strikes do they feel the pain. We leave them helpless and unable to express their suffering, so that they can truly empathize and protect innocent forces like the Spirit Pagoda and the Federal Law Enforcement Team from these calamities."

Upon hearing this, everyone wore thoughtful expressions. They were not naive children who had never experienced the world; they had their own judgment on whether Shrek's final exam rules were reasonable. However, most students lacked the courage and ability to change the status quo.

Gu Yue said quietly, "Xuanzhen, arrogance cannot be changed overnight; it requires the continuous and unremitting efforts of many generations... or an unprecedented great change."

"Yes."

Shrek Academy is filled with immortals, and Zhao Xuanzhen has seen too many Yu Yuanhengs in the past four years. Normal people like Li Qiankun and Mo Jue are rare species.

"If Shrek Academy needs to change..."

Gu Yue paused for a second, her beautiful dark eyes looking at the handsome young man beside her, and asked calmly, "Then what about the Spirit Pagoda?"

"Do you think there's anything that urgently needs to be changed in the Spirit Pagoda?"

"In my memory, the original Spirit Pagoda was not solely dominated by the Qian Gu family," Gu Yue said softly, her red lips parting slightly.

Zhao Xuanzhen lowered his eyes, his gaze unfathomable. Gu Yue's words contained multiple meanings. The change he spoke of could mean the Phoenix Clan replacing the Qian Gu Clan, like the change of dynasties in ancient times, with the royal family taking on a different surname. Or it could mean the shattering of the Qian Gu Clan's hegemonic rule and the restoration of a normal parliamentary system.

At the same time, Zhao Xuanzhen realized the third meaning: Gu Yue hoped that, just like when the Spirit Pagoda was first established ten thousand years ago, star beasts such as Emerald Swan and Jade Princess would enter the core circle and participate in the management of the Spirit Pagoda!

With many people and eyes around in the carriage, Gu Yue had no intention of explaining clearly. She moved half an inch closer to Zhao Xuanzhen and said calmly:

"I'm tired, I'll lean on you and sleep for a while."

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhao Xuanzhen pointed to the seatbelt on Gu Yue's chest. However, the girl suddenly leaned forward, and a snow-white hue floated in the shadow of her collar. The fragrance of gardenia mixed with her body temperature spread over.

Gu Yue's waist bent in an exaggerated arc like a willow branch, showcasing her remarkable flexibility. Her collarbone brushed against Zhao Xuanzhen's arm through the fabric of her shirt. With a soft metallic click, the seatbelt between them suddenly tightened, pressing a breathtaking arc into his heaving chest.

The dim sunlight streaming in from the window pierced through Gu Yue's loose hair, allowing Zhao Xuanzhen to see the pale blue veins beneath her fair skin, which seemed to tremble gently with her breath. As a playful strand of hair brushed against her neck, Zhao Xuanzhen heard the rustling of fabric, mixed with Gu Yue's muffled nasal voice:

"This feels very comfortable."

Gu Yue chose not her shoulder as a pillow, but Zhao Xuanzhen's chest. Her curled fingertips unconsciously traced his palm, and the seatbelt sank deeper and deeper as the car swayed, revealing a dazzling glimpse of jade-white skin.

Zhao Xuanzhen looked down at the girl in front of him. The twilight slanted through the car window, casting a light golden glow on her porcelain-white profile. Her long, black, silky hair swayed gently, and the ends of her hair brushed against the back of her hand, causing a faint, ticklish sensation.

Gu Yue's serene and aloof demeanor concealed her exceptionally beautiful figure, as if she had moved beyond the budding stage and entered the bountiful harvest season. Looking to the side, Zhao Xuanzhen saw a pair of slender, straight legs encased in textured black stockings, shimmering with a hazy, mesmerizing pearlescent sheen.

"Looking at black stockings?" Gu Yue asked lazily, her eyes closed, like a kitten.

"...That's too direct."

Zhao Xuanzhen gestured for Gu Yue to give him some face.

"Human nature."

Gu Yue was wealthy and generous. She pursed her red lips smugly, and a captivating smile curved her lips.

Gu Yue's three main strategies for winning over Zhao Xuanzhen are to improve herself, attract Zhao Xuanzhen, and crush Na'er.

The year was drawing to a close, but Gu Yue still hadn't made any progress. She had to admit that Zhao Xuanzhen was a towering mountain, no wonder Na'er hadn't been able to get a taste of his food for eight years, and she herself had tried her best but still failed.

Na'er's words about being a child bride caused a huge uproar in Class 1 of Grade 1.

After a moment of contemplation, Bai Lian, adhering to the principle that explaining is a cover-up and not explaining is an admission, decisively made Na'er the Empress whom the Xuanzhen Emperor had raised since childhood. This infuriated Gu Yue, who dragged Na'er into rigorous training for a whole week.

Zhao Xuanzhen's reactions sometimes left Gu Yue bewildered. He treated her very well, seemingly knowing exactly what she longed for, and did not resist her various little thoughts and intimate gestures. His position in the Spirit Pagoda was also promoted again and again.

Today, Gu Yue holds a stable fourth position among the younger generation of the Spirit Pagoda, second only to the Spirit Pagoda's Crown Prince Qian Gu Zhangting, Zhao Xuanzhen representing the Phoenix Clan, and the senior Na'er.

Gu Yue wanted to completely shatter Na'er's humanity, becoming the complete Silver Dragon King while using Zhao Xuanzhen's position to climb even higher. But every time she was about to take that crucial step, Zhao Xuanzhen would escape her trap and maintain a respectful distance.

Occasionally glancing at Zhao Xuanzhen, her deep, dark eyes seemed to hold a silent, deep sea, and she was merely a reef in that sea, ready to be swallowed up by the ocean at any moment.

Gu Yue pondered deeply in private. Her disguise was flawless; Zhao Xuanzhen, a mere Soul King, would certainly not be able to see through her and keep her hanging on. Ultimately, she concluded that Zhao Xuanzhen was naturally slow to warm up, and given Leng Yaozhu's strict upbringing, Zhao Xuanzhen had no romantic feelings before adulthood.

You see, that silver-haired idiot hasn't been able to get a taste of it for eight years, while Gu Yue has made great progress in the past year, and the dawn of victory is within reach!

Step by step, Queen Gu Yue firmly believed that with her unparalleled beauty and extraordinary talent, no one in the Douluo Continent would be willing to refuse her, and Zhao Xuanzhen was no exception!

That said, this guy's chest was as soft and bouncy as a white goose down pillow. He probably secretly used his own secret technique to change the softness so that she could sleep comfortably. He also had a pleasant scent on his body, a scent that Gu Yue liked.

"I am indeed a bit tired..."

Gu Yue wrinkled her nose slightly as she smelled the calming scent, banishing her chaotic thoughts and gradually calming her breathing.

Ye Xinglan observed the two seemingly idyllic figures through the rearview mirror, her azure eyes slightly narrowed. Zhao Xuanzhen and Gu Yue's conversation wasn't loud, but the car's space was limited, and she could hear everything clearly from the second row.

"Black stockings..."

Ye Xinglan caught the key word: Zhao Xuanzhen's fantasy was actually black stockings and legs, and she suddenly felt happy.

Na'er, Gu Yue, and Yuan En Ye Hui—these three beautiful girls are all monsters whose heads are practically invisible. Even though Ye Xinglan joined the Papaya Milk Cult, he was still at a disadvantage compared to the three exceptionally talented girls, and saw no hope of turning the tide in the future.

Looking at her fair and jade-like legs, Ye Xinglan silently took out a new soul-guided communicator. As for the old one, well, the old one was naturally left...

Shrek Academy!

Don't forget to hand in all external items before leaving for the final exam!

In photo mode, the flash went off, and a slightly curious female voice rang out.

"What are you doing?"

Wu Siduo poked her head over. Although Ye Xinglan reversed the soul-guided communicator with lightning speed, Wu Siduo's eyesight was superb. The contact's name was clearly written as Zhao Xuanzhen (Master), and a picture was being sent.

"He, she, they..."

Wisps of white smoke rose from above as Wu Siduo's CPU suddenly overheated. Child bride Na'er, the proactive Gu Yue, the sneaky Ye Xinglan—what a bizarre and tangled mess of relationships!?

The Wu Siduo family was originally the royal family of the Star Luo Empire. To this day, many elders in the family still maintain the bad habits of the great nobility. There are countless examples of them having affairs while maintaining their wives at home. Wu Siduo is used to this. But isn't Zhao Xuanzhen developing these habits a bit too early?

While Xiao Wu was pondering the ambiguous relationship between the four, driver Yang Nianxia was already drenched in sweat, the sweat pouring down his spine and soaking his clothes. The class monitor was surrounded by beautiful women, and everyone knew that he wanted to have them on his left and right, so he seemed a bit superfluous.

"I should be under the car, not inside it..."

"Ding-dong-"

The message notification sound broke the deathly silence.

Zhao Xuanzhen zoomed in on the picture. The setting sun let in golden threads, weaving a flowing net of light on the girl's legs. The scattered light spots wandered along the leg lines, gathering into a dazzling golden lake in the hollow of her knees. Her milky skin was covered with a layer of radiant glow, like solidified goat's milk.

Her fair and slender figure possesses a pure beauty that is completely unadorned, a beauty that is entirely different from that of black stockings.

Ye Xinglan: Is it pretty?

Zhao Xuanzhen: Thumbs up with both hands.jpg

With her fingers flying across the keyboard, Ye Xinglan typed "thank you," her eyes sparkling. She then quickly took many beautiful photos from different angles and sent them over.

Wu Siduo next door was stunned. Xu Xiaoyan in the front row kept her eyes down, playing the role of a well-behaved girl next door. Yang Nianxia kept a straight face and dutifully did her job as a driver.

stumbled into a palace intrigue channel; the more you learn about the private lives of important figures, the less safe you become.

A series of bright and beautiful photos flashed across the screen of the soul-guided communicator, and Zhao Xuanzhen admitted that Ye Xinglan was indeed quite attractive.

The next second, a creature from the abyss remotely controlled him to click "save".

Ye Xinglan turned around, meeting Zhao Xuanzhen's gaze with unwavering determination. Her delicate face was no longer as cold as before, her eyes bold and fiery. Then she took a deep look at Gu Yue, who was sleeping soundly in Zhao Xuanzhen's arms, slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and turned her head away.

Be patient and patient, accumulate strength and then unleash it!

……

Seven days later, Tianding City.

A luxury SUV drove into Tianding City, with six people inside looking radiant. This city is about two thousand kilometers away from Mingdu and is the penultimate battleground planned by Zhao Xuanzhen for this route, signifying that the final exams are about to be completed.

From the day they left Shrek Academy, the six of them traveled through eight major cities. Apart from Tian Dou City, the Tang Sect branches in the other seven cities suffered terribly, getting beaten up by Shrek's mischievous devil.

More importantly, news of Zhao Xuanzhen and his six companions challenging the Tang Sect reached the ears of the first-year students. The group was struggling to find opponents, so they immediately followed suit, unfurling banners and going to their sworn brother sect. During this time, the Tang Sect was thrown into chaos.

The amorous Douluo Zang Xin hurriedly set off for Shrek City to discuss the matter with the Sky-Supporting Douluo Yun Ming. The latter stated that this final exam was the last time students would be allowed to roam freely in challenges; from now on, the Shrek final exams would no longer disrupt social order.

"Squad leader, shall we challenge the Tang Clan branch in Tianding City?" Yang Nianxia asked habitually.

"No, go to the Heavenly Starry Sky Soul Master Academy."

Zhao Xuanzhen browsed the news on the Soul Network and then replied.

"okay!"

Yang Nianxia slammed on the gas pedal and turned towards the Heavenly Starry Sky Soul Master Academy.

The Heavenly Starry Sky Soul Master Academy is located in the southwest corner of Heavenly Starry City, and has a history of two thousand years. This academy only recruits Soul Masters who have awakened a flying Martial Soul, and its specialty is a variety of Soul Guidance Devices, dedicated to cultivating students into excellent mecha pilots.

Because mecha pilots are welcomed by the Federation military, they cooperate closely with the military, and many high-ranking military officers come from the Tianding Starry Sky Soul Master Academy.

The Spirit Pagoda is a staunch hawkish supporter and strongly advocates for the Federation to send troops to unify the three continents. Both sides share this view, and there is no conflict of interest between the Sun Moon Federation military and the Spirit Pagoda.

Therefore, the Starry Sky Soul Master Academy, which has a military background, is open to the Spirit Pagoda and is willing to cooperate with it. After the two parties exchanged benefits, the Dean of the Starry Sky Academy agreed to let Zhao Xuanzhen use the star power stored in the academy.

The main gate of the Heavenly Starry Sky Soul Master Academy is exceptionally magnificent. The blue and white metal gate is twenty meters high, and mechs can easily pass through it. The gate is engraved with intricate and mysterious star trail patterns.

With a graceful drift and a stop, the Soul Guided Car disembarked, and the six of them got out in quick succession. Their outstanding looks drew admiring glances from the Starry Sky students at the entrance.

The six of them didn't take it seriously, but when they looked up at the Heavenly Starry Sky Soul Master Academy, they were stunned for a moment. The soul guidance screen in front of the gate was scrolling through a sentence in bright red font!

"A warm welcome to Tai Chi master Zhao Xuanzhen for his guidance!"

Chapter 87 Stargazing Platform, Ye Xinglan's Misunderstanding in the Dead of Night, Prejudice in People's Hearts is a Mount Huang (4K)

"To come and offer guidance, this is quite an exaggeration..."

Xu Xiaoyan rubbed her eyes; the Starry Sky Soul Master Academy's actions were truly sincere. Gu Yue suddenly realized why Zhao Xuanzhen hadn't continued to harm the Tang Sect; it turned out he had planned this all along and reached an agreement with the Starry Sky Academy beforehand.

The six individuals stood out from the crowd in terms of appearance and demeanor. Within minutes, they were surrounded by a group of curious students, some of whom were eager to try and strike up a conversation.

The metal door swung open with a bang, and a middle-aged man emerged from it. He was tall and robust, with short, gray hair standing on end.

"Go back to class and don't join in the fun!"

With a wave of his hand, the middle-aged man, clearly a respected and experienced teacher, caused the students of the Heavenly Starry Sky Soul Master Academy to scatter like stars, each running towards the teaching building.

Then, the middle-aged man strode up to the six people, his eyes burning, and said, "I am Li Zhilong, the Dean of Studies of the Heavenly Starry Sky Soul Master Academy. On behalf of all the teachers and students of the academy, I welcome you!"

"Hello, Director Li."

"Please follow me, the dean is waiting for you at the observatory."

Li Zhilong led the six people to the Star Observation Platform, explaining to them the star carvings along the roads of the Heavenly Starry Sky Soul Master Academy.

In addition, everyone learned that this dean of students had once enrolled in Shrek Academy, but ultimately failed to get into the inner academy. He was invited by the first academy in his hometown, Tianding City, Tianding Starry Sky Soul Master Academy, to become a teacher and gradually rose to the position of dean of students.

Zhao Xuanzhen was a guest valued by the dean and an outstanding junior in Li Zhilong's eyes. Li Zhilong had not met any Shrek Academy students since graduation, and at this moment he opened up and reminisced about his past study time.

Upon learning that the six were taking Shrek Academy's final exams, Li Zhilong couldn't help but laugh heartily. He revealed that there was a legendary senior in their year who, in order to complete the assessment task assigned by the academy, single-handedly attacked the army's garrison, causing chaos throughout the army and even incurring the dissatisfaction of the high-ranking military officials of the Sun Moon Federation.

As the group chatted, they spotted the main teaching building of the Heavenly Starlight Soul Master Academy in the distance. It was a huge domed building, magnificent in appearance, reflecting the sunlight from all sides.

The observatory is located on the top floor of the teaching building, facing the sky. The moment the six stepped onto the observatory, a wealthy-looking elderly man approached, extending a hand as weathered as an ancient pine tree, and said with a smile, "Tai Chi Zhao Xuanzhen, seeing is believing! Truly, a hero emerges from among the young!"

"Dean Liu is in excellent spirits."

Zhao Xuanzhen smiled and shook hands with the dean of the Heavenly Starry Sky Soul Master Academy.

Dean Liu was over eighty years old, but he not only did not underestimate Zhao Xuanzhen, who was not yet twenty, but also gave her plenty of respect.

The old man was shrewd and experienced. The Spirit Pagoda headquarters had condescended to contact Starry Sky Academy, all because of the young man before them. Dean Liu deeply understood that with his superior talent and powerful background, a rising star in the Soul Master world was emerging, and his academy could not afford to offend him.

So when Zhao Xuanzhen called the soul guide communication two days ago, hoping to add an extra six-on-six sparring match, Dean Liu readily agreed and dispatched the Dean of Studies, Li Zhilong, to keep a close watch on the academy's main gate and welcome Zhao Xuanzhen and his party at any time.

Dean Liu smiled and said, "We can talk about this later. Let's start the exchange match."

Zhilong always says that every Shrek Academy student possesses unique skills, and that Xuanzhen is the next generation leader of the Spirit Pagoda with unlimited potential.

"Starry Sky Academy will send its strongest team under twenty years old to fight against you all. I want to see just how big the gap is between our carefully cultivated students and the renowned Shrek Academy and Spirit Pagoda."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dean Liu clapped his hands lightly, and a group of young people dressed in Starry Sky Academy uniforms appeared in front of the six people, their eyes burning with a burning desire to challenge the strong.

The two sides spread out, and Director Li Zhilong personally acted as the referee for this exchange match. With a command, the battle was about to begin.

The Heavenly Starry Sky Soul Master Academy only recruits flying soul masters, and the six students reacted in unison, instantly taking to the air.

"Proceed according to plan!"
