Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

The celestial disc is reborn under starlight, with winding star patterns emerging from its cracks, resembling countless miniature dragons chasing each other. Nine star chains intertwine and guard it, with the ends of the chains connected to a shining star core, whose flames display the nine-star hexagram on the surface of the celestial disc.

With a sigh of relief, Zhao Xuanzhen exhaled a breath of stale air. He didn't have many opportunities to use the Heavenly Plate, but the absence of one of the four plates would undoubtedly make the Eight Trigrams and Qimen abilities incomplete. Tonight, he could finally put his mind at ease.

The gaze fell upon Ye Xinglan, who was tempering the Star God Sword. The girl held the sword in both hands, and a golden ring composed of star projections floated beneath her feet. The sword shadow emanated from her heart, and the Star God Sword Intent condensed into a golden longsword in the void. Even before the blade was fully revealed, it caused the surrounding star power to boil.

"The stars shine."

Zhao Xuanzhen turned the Qimen Heavenly Plate, and the starlight shone brightly. His long hair, like flowing silver light, faded from its black color under the cascading starlight. Nine luminaries appeared in his pupils, and the veins of star trails were faintly visible beneath his skin, making his flesh seem to merge with the stars.

The star power intensified once more, and an endless tide of stars surged toward Ye Xinglan. A brilliant golden vortex condensed at the sword hilt, frantically absorbing the falling star waterfall. The sword gradually lost its original bright yellow color, replaced by a crystal-clear marrow color. The star river flowing inside resonated and trembled with the starry sky above.

The girl's starry eyes shimmered, and the sword light that erupted from the Star God Sword made the night sky shine brightly. Zhao Xuanzhen gathered the stars in the heavens with one hand, condensed a Nine Luminaries Star Core, and pressed it into her chest.

The vortex on the Star God Sword suddenly cracked open, and amidst the gushing stardust, the Star God Sword soared into the sky, splashing out streaks of starlight sword energy that carved sword marks across the heavens above the clouds, eventually combining into a dazzling pillar of light that pierced through the Milky Way.

Ye Xinglan spread her arms wide, her sword intent blending with starlight to its fullest extent. Her pale yellow dress was soaked in star power, turning her whole body into a translucent gold. Her eyes were sharp and unstoppable, as if a cluster of brilliant starlight was shining deep within them.

Star God Sword, Second Awakening!

Starlight spilled onto her long golden hair, scattering a dazzling halo. Ye Xinglan was bathed in the holy light of the stars, appearing awe-inspiring and unapproachable.

"Success."

Ye Xinglan gazed at the Star God Sword with clear eyes. Her second awakening was quite different from Zhao Xuanzhen's. The Star God Sword's evolution was not as powerful as the Golden Awakening, but it was a permanent awakening, more like Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass awakening into the Blue Silver Emperor in another time and space.

With her hand gently touching her chest, she could feel the pulsating Nine Luminaries Star Core. Her body felt as if it had been branded with an incredibly hot mark, constantly releasing Zhao Xuanzhen's unique celestial power, a warmth that brought peace of mind.

"Congratulations to the two young friends on achieving their wishes," Dean Liu said with a hearty laugh.

"The observatory lives up to its reputation. Thank you for your help, Dean Liu," Zhao Xuanzhen replied with a smile.

"Of course, of course!"

The two left the observatory and returned to the Starry Sky Hotel. Dean Liu personally escorted them to the main gate of the Heavenly Starry Sky Soul Master Academy. On the way, the old man casually remarked:

“Young friend Xuanzhen, my granddaughter Liu Yulu is twenty-four years old this year. She just graduated from Starry Sky Academy and has a cultivation level of fifty-one Soul King and a purple-level mecha pilot.”

"Young and promising, with a bright future ahead."

"Young friend, you flatter me. Yulu has a little talent, but she is not up to par with the two geniuses. However, she has always wanted to improve."

I've heard that the Heavenly City Spirit Tower branch plans to expand by adding a mecha squad, and this vice-captain..."

Even someone as straightforward as Ye Xinglan understood the implication in Dean Liu's words. Dean Liu remained calm and composed. The Starry Sky Soul Master Academy of Tianding City had some connections with the military, and Liu Yulu's talent was only considered above average. The old man was also reluctant to let his precious granddaughter join the army and suffer.

It would be better to stay in their hometown of Tianding City, consolidate the Liu family's base, and incidentally make connections with the big shots at the Spirit Tower headquarters. This is why the dean received Xuanxing and his companion alone late at night; the purpose behind it is not for outsiders to know.

"Vice-captain? Captain, huh?"

With all four Bagua and Qimen compasses intact, Zhao Xuanzhen was in high spirits and spoke casually.

"team leader?"

Dean Liu was stunned. The next second, his wrinkled old face blossomed like a chrysanthemum, and he nodded vigorously.

"Ah, yes, yes, on behalf of Yulu, I thank you for your guidance! In the future, any promising talents from the Heavenly Starry Sky Soul Master Academy will definitely be given priority in being recommended to the Spirit Pagoda!"

……

The next day, early in the morning.

A luxury SUV drove towards Mingdu.

Tian Ding City is two thousand kilometers away from Mingdu. After a long journey, everyone in the car was lazy and bored, scrolling through short videos on their soul-guided communicators to pass the time. Driver Yang Nianxia had to abide by traffic rules, so she turned on the news radio out of boredom.

"Breaking news! Breaking news! Huge event in Douluo Continent!"

Six students from Shrek Academy challenged the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, with the event being broadcast simultaneously on multiple television stations!

"What!?"

Everyone instantly perked up. The soul-guided screen slowly descended, and Yang Nianxia thoughtfully activated the car's TV to ensure the big shots had the best viewing experience.

"Why is it Wu Lin and the others?"

Xu Xiaoyan opened her mouth wide, and there were six familiar figures on Shrek Academy's side.

Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Xu Lizhi, Zheng Yiran, Xu Yucheng, Luo Guixing!

"They're incredibly audacious! They've actually attacked the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy..."

Wu Siduo stroked her chin with her jade-like hand. As everyone knows, the two academies have a long-standing feud.

Sun Moon Continent and Douluo Continent were once irreconcilable enemies. Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Shrek Academy represented the pinnacle academies of their respective continents, fighting fiercely in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, resulting in heavy casualties in many competitions.

Later, Lingbing Douluo Huo Yuhao caused the Mingdu Explosion, which caused the world to lose its color and the sun and moon to lose their light. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was almost destroyed. Therefore, he hated Shrek Academy even more and became the only force in the Douluo Continent in this era that was extremely hostile to Shrek Academy.

Zhao Xuanzhen looked up at the Soul Guidance TV. Back when the Tianhai Alliance Tournament saw Donghai Academy defeat Shrek Academy, the Douluo Continent instantly erupted in excitement, with all sorts of rumors flying around.

News articles defaming Shrek Academy are popping up everywhere, with 90% of the information coming from Mingdu, and the Royal Soul Master Academy of the Sun and Moon being the most vocal.

"pull over."

A hurried voice rang out, and Shen Yi opened the car door, yanked Yang Nianxia out like a chick, and shoved her into the luxury SUV. Unable to bear hearing Mingdu TV's denigration of Shrek Academy, he switched to a neutral television station under the Federation, his face hardened.

The classmates who spend every day together are fighting against rival colleges with a long-standing feud. Apart from Zhao Xuanzhen and Gu Yue, who are huddled together studying their holiday plans and paying no attention to the battle between the two colleges, the other five are staring intently at the car's TV. This is a match full of highlights!

"Game start!"

At the referee's command, the twelve players from both sides engaged in a fierce battle, exchanging blows and shouting at the top of their lungs, with all sorts of soul skills flying everywhere.

Meanwhile, the federal television station broadcast a passionate commentary:

"Shrek Academy's Tang Wulin is leading the way. His martial soul is Golden Pattern Blue Silver Grass. My God, Blue Silver Grass actually suppressed the Holy Light Dragon. Unbelievable! Sun and Moon Academy has a bad start!"

Sun and Moon are constantly making moves that are utterly chaotic!

The sun and moon are in dire straits!

The defeat of the Sun and Moon forces is inevitable!

The match has ended! Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, with their Soul Fusion Skill "Heavenly Tiger Summoning" and "Ice and Snow Goddess," has staged a comeback victory! Please welcome Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to give their winning speech!

Chapter 89 Sea God Pavilion Meeting, Golden Water Intermingling and Silver Dragon Pill, Imperial Dragon Xu Tianzhao (4K)

"Hey, is that right?"

The people in the car looked at each other in bewilderment. Even Zhao Xuanzhen and Gu Yue stopped discussing their holiday plans and looked at the match broadcast on the Soul Guide TV.

The turn of events was completely unexpected. They had assumed Shrek Academy was a shoo-in for the win based on the commentary, but suddenly it fast-forwarded to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy giving their acceptance speeches!?

The Shrek Academy team members lay sprawled on the ground. Tang Wulin, enduring his injuries, slowly rose, clutching his bloodied chest, his eyes filled with resentment and dejection.

Xie Xie and Xu Lizhi trembled like leaves, having lost on behalf of Shrek Academy. They had been defeated by their arch-rival, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, on a battlefield broadcast almost live throughout the entire Federation!

Xu Yucheng, Luo Guixing, and Zheng Yiran were pale and heartbroken. The consequences of Shrek Academy's defeat this time far exceeded those of the Tianhai Alliance Tournament four years ago.

The Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition was merely a celebration for soul masters in cities under the Tianhai Alliance's jurisdiction, and its influence was far less than that of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the second-best academy on the continent. Moreover, the soul masters who defeated the Shrek Academy team back then were from the East Sea Academy team.

Donghai Academy not only has no grudges against Shrek Academy, but it can even be said to have a long-standing relationship with them. The teacher is Wu Changkong, a former inner disciple of Shrek Academy. Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, Xu Xiaoyan, Xie Xie, and more than half of them are disciples of Class Zero of Donghai Academy.

Furthermore, with the cooperation of Zhao Xuanzhen and the other two obtained at great cost, Shrek Academy was able to handle public relations relatively smoothly.

However, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Shrek Academy are sworn enemies, their hatred having lasted for millennia and only intensified. It is absolutely impossible for them to reconcile with Shrek Academy. They will only go so far as to fabricate Shrek's defeat, severely damaging the millennia-old reputation of the number one academy on the continent, making it known to everyone on the Douluo Continent!

As members of the Shrek Academy, the six will forever be nailed to the pillar of shame, and even committing seppuku cannot atone for their heinous crimes!

The six staggered off the stage, and Wu Changkong, who was responsible for protecting them, looked grim. The teacher was equally to blame.

In stark contrast to Shrek Academy, the Sun Moon Academy students in the audience were ecstatic. In the center of the huge arena, the fusion skills of the two martial souls had not yet been deactivated. The roar of the tiger was like thunder, and the Ice and Snow Goddess performed a dance, drawing cheers that rose one wave after another.

Major media outlets set up their cameras and microphones, vying to interview Mo Hongchen, the Golden Toad Douluo, the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

With her pregnant belly bulging, Mo Hongchen addressed the countless cameras with great enthusiasm: "Today was supposed to be an ordinary day, but it has become extraordinary because six Shrek Academy students came to challenge us!"

The outstanding students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy lived up to expectations and defeated Shrek Academy!

I believe that Shrek Academy's teaching methods are no longer suitable for this era. The wheels of history keep turning, and new things will eventually replace old things. The new era of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has arrived!

We are the number one academy on the mainland!

"Long live the sun and the moon! Long live the sun and the moon!"

Mo Hongchen's passionate speech ignited the passion in the hearts of the Sun Moon Academy students. They had been suppressed by Shrek Academy for far too long, and now they were finally able to rise up and sing their own song. Fanaticism and passion were the most appropriate adjectives to describe it.

The flashes of cameras never stopped clicking, and the reporters were overjoyed. When a hot topic comes, there's no stopping it. They even prepared their headlines in advance: "The old king is dead, the new king shall rise! The battle for the number one academy on the mainland, the sun and moon shine brightly!"

A luxury SUV was parked on the side of the road. Yang Nianxia craned her neck to watch the Soul Guidance TV outside, indignantly speaking out for her six classmates:

"This guy is too arrogant! He's not just damaging the academy's reputation, he's clearly trying to kill Yi Ran, Lao Luo, and the others!"

Shen Yi got out of the car with a dark face, kicked Yang Nianxia back into the driver's seat with a roundhouse kick, and said coldly:

"You just drive, leave the rest to the academy!"

Shrek Academy, Poseidon Island.

Inside the Sea God Pavilion, you could hear a pin drop. Ten people sat around an oval wooden table; they were all elders of the Sea God Pavilion and the true pillars of Shrek Academy.

Whenever Shrek Academy undergoes a major upheaval, the Sea God Pavilion holds a meeting, which is why the Sea God Pavilion meeting is also known as the Shrek Academy's highest leadership meeting, where the future of the academy is decided by a show of hands.

The Sea God Pavilion meetings are held in two ways: one is a regular annual meeting, and the other is an ad hoc meeting.

Leaving aside regular meetings, each extraordinary meeting signifies a major upheaval for Shrek Academy. Several extraordinary meetings of the Sea God Pavilion in history have even altered the course of Douluo Continent, such as resisting the invasion of the Sun Moon Empire and establishing Huo Yuhao's central position…

The Sky-Supporting Douluo Yun Ming sat at the head of the long table, with the Light and Dark Douluo Long Yeyue and the Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li to his left and right, respectively. Following them were senior elders such as the Silver Moon Douluo Cai Yue'er, the Crimson Dragon Douluo Zhuo Shi, and the Blazing Dragon Douluo Feng Wuyu.

Most of the elders were somewhat confused, completely unaware of why Yun Ming had convened an emergency meeting of the Sea God Pavilion.

"Dear senior scholars."

Yun Ming's expression was grave as he briefly explained the situation: "It's currently the final exam period for the outer academy, and Wu Changkong, the first-year homeroom teacher and team leader, sent an urgent message."

Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Xu Lizhi, Zheng Yiran, Xu Yucheng, and Luo Guixing, six first-year students from Shrek Academy, took the initiative to challenge the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, but were ultimately defeated by two Martial Soul Fusion Techniques.

After Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy won the victory, Dean Mo Hongchen gave numerous media interviews, vehemently criticizing Shrek Academy and claiming that Sun Moon was the number one academy on the continent.

They bought a large number of press releases, constantly publicizing the victory and smearing Shrek Academy. Public opinion on SoulNet is spiraling out of control, and the academy is facing the most serious public opinion crisis in its history.

The two-digit number of Super Douluo gasped in shock. It was as if a hurricane had swept through the Sea God Pavilion, howling and lingering for a long time.

The next second, Silver Moon Douluo Cai Yue'er slammed her hand on the table and roared with a contorted face, "Expel them! Expel all six of them!"

No, seven! And that Wu Changkong too—pack your things and get out of Shrek City!

"Who dares to expel my disciples and grand-disciples!"

"Yes, we can't expel them!"

The two Shrek Holy Dragons jumped out one after the other to object. The Crimson Dragon Douluo Zhuoshi glared and bristled. Three of the seven were his disciples and grand-disciples. Zhuoshi, who always protected his own, could not agree. The Blazing Dragon Douluo Feng Wuyu simply wanted to protect the forging genius Tang Wulin.

"Zhuoshi, how dare you speak like that!" Cai Yue'er directly attacked Zhuoshi, "Your grand-disciple has caused a lot of trouble, and Shrek Academy has lost all face. As the grandmaster and the dean of the outer academy, do you think you can get away with it?"

"you……"

When it comes to eloquence, ten scoundrels couldn't match Cai Yue'er's quick wit, and besides, Cai Yue'er's words weren't without merit.

"Calm down. The focus now is not on who to blame, but on how to handle this."

Yali's gentle voice soothed the elders' intense emotional turmoil.

"Xiao Li is right."

Long Yeyue said with a sinister look, "I have a plan. I will go to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, slap that junior from the Red Dust Family, force him to hold a press conference, and make him kneel down and apologize to Shrek Academy."

"Sister Yue, please rest first..."

Yun Ming rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly, feeling utterly exhausted. He suddenly regretted convening the Sea God Pavilion meeting; what kind of precious items were these two!

Why don't he and Yali discuss it privately?

“Brother Ming, I have an idea,” Ya Li said slowly. “The root of the public opinion problem is the academy’s defeat, so the first thing we need to do to solve the problem is to win a victory.”

The six students who challenged Sun Moon Academy were all first-year students. We might as well select a few more first-year students to form a second team to challenge Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, thus restoring the academy's reputation. This way, the public relations crisis will be easily resolved.

Yun Ming's tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed. With a virtuous wife at home, what more could a husband ask for!

“The plan of the Holy Spirit is very good.”

"It's just a matter of choosing a candidate..."

"Who can guarantee the completion of the mission? Sun and Moon have two martial soul fusion skills."

The elders exchanged glances, and a figure simultaneously popped into their minds: the one who broke Shrek Academy's 20,000-year undefeated record four years ago, causing an enormous impact. He was the undisputed number one in the entire outer academy!

“I called Xiaoyi; she’s his mentor!” Zhuoshi said.
