Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

The next second, a figure descended from the sky. Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li smiled and took his arm. It was Sky-Supporting Douluo Yun Ming!

The small-scale inter-academy exchange match unexpectedly alarmed the Sea God Pavilion Master!

The teachers took their seats on the stage, with Yun Ming naturally occupying the center position. Ya Li sat on one side of him, and the Shrek Twin Dragons sat on the other. With her legitimate husband present, the Twin Dragons dared not approach Ya Li to curry favor, fearing repercussions later.

In the center of the arena, Shen Yi announced loudly, "Greetings, Shrek Academy students! I am Shen Yi, the first-year homeroom teacher. I will be hosting this exchange competition. The four esteemed figures—Sky-Piercing Douluo, Holy Spirit Douluo, Crimson Dragon Douluo, and Blazing Dragon Douluo—will serve as judges!"

Without further ado, let's have both teams take the field!

The two gates on either side of the Soul Arena opened with a roar, and Zhao Xuanzhen, Gu Yue, Ye Xinglan, Yuanen Yehui, Tang Wulin, Le Zhengyu, and Xu Lizhi, representing the Outer Academy, made a grand entrance.

The number of students from the Foreign Languages ​​Department was large, and their faces were flushed, especially those in the first and second years. They were all cheering with all their might, and their shouts echoed through the sky.

On the other side, the aura of the Inner Court Revenge Squad pierced the Soul Arena like a sharp knife, and familiar faces came into view.

Extreme Ice Tang Dong, Enchanting Fox Nangong Yao, Blue Lightning Jade Yuan Heng, and Glazed Ning Qian—the four leading figures were all defeated opponents of Zhao Xuanzhen and were also core members of the revenge team.

Jin Gang Lei Zhenyu and Bi Luan Lin Qingyun are students who have recently entered the Inner Academy. They are about the same age as Yu Yuanheng and were simply selected by the Inner Academy to participate in the exchange competition.

The final seventh person appeared, and all the audience members couldn't help but widen their eyes. With silver hair and silver eyes, an exquisite appearance, and a lively smile on her red lips, she kept waving to the surroundings, and the audience responded with a roar like a landslide and a tsunami!

Silver Dragon Nar!

"Both sides exchange friendly greetings!" Shen Yi announced loudly.

"Zhao Xuanzhen, I'm here!"

Na'er chuckled, intending to rush over and give Zhao Xuanzhen a hug.

"Hello."

Then, Na'er was warmly greeted with a handshake from Zhao Xuanzhen, who reached out and grasped both of her hands together.

For details, please refer to the article "Leaders Visiting Rural Areas to Care for Impoverished Households".

"Eh!?"

Na'er looked up in shock at this clueless guy. Gu Yue watched the whole thing with a sneer. No wonder Na'er had been acting like a hamster stealing snacks these past two days. It turns out she joined the Avengers team!

Shen Yi said, "Today, the two academies will have a comprehensive exchange, starting with secondary professions: forging, design, production, and repair, followed by a seven-person team battle."

Everyone here is an elite among elites, so ordinary secondary profession assessments are nothing. Therefore, the Sea God Pavilion has decided that the competition will be about creating battle armor on the spot!

Four players will participate in the secondary professional competition. Each player will forge a battle armor for their Dark Holy Dragon Martial Soul: the Inner Court will forge the left-hand armor, and the Outer Court will forge the right-hand armor. Begin now!

Chapter 108 This time it's my turn to let you win; Tang Dong's change; now I'm no longer afraid (4K)

As soon as Shen Yi finished speaking, metal platforms rose up on both sides of the arena, signifying the official start of the competition.

"On-site creation of battle armor!?"

Gasps of surprise rippled through the audience. The Sea God Pavilion took the inter-academy exchange match very seriously, keeping it completely secret. No one knew the specifics of the match, let alone that it involved making battle armor.

Forging, designing, manufacturing, and repairing—the slightest mistake can ruin everything. Only the elite of the elite can complete all four processes in one go in a short period of time!

"Xuanzhen, who should go?" Gu Yue asked softly.

“You, me, Wu Lin, Yuan En.”

Zhao Xuanzhen was undoubtedly the captain of the outer court team, possessing the authority to make all decisions and act swiftly.

Tang Wulin need not say more; he is the only blacksmith, and no one can replace him in forging iron.

Mecha repair is a process of refinement, and mecha design can be modified midway through. En Yehui and Gu Yue have no problem handling it. However, mecha manufacturing is crucial to the formation of the battle armor, and it is a position where even the slightest flaw can lead to complete failure.

Ye Xinglan and Le Zhengyu's limit is to create a spirited one-word battle armor, which offers almost no advantage compared to the inner court disciples. Therefore, this crucial role is played by Zhao Xuanzhen himself.

After the four from the outer courtyard made their decision, the inner courtyard also finalized its lineup.

Lan Dianyu Yuanheng, wielding a pair of large, blue-purple hammers, strode towards the metal platform, carefully selecting the metal to be forged. Nangong Yao, Tang Dong, and Ning Qian stood together before a metal platform, discussing how to forge the Dark Holy Dragon Left Gauntlet.

Na'er hopped and skipped to her seat in the spectator stands, looking on with amusement. She wasn't going to cooperate with these inner court disciples to create battle armor; she was eagerly anticipating the upcoming seven-person team battle.

A perfectly legitimate reason to beat up Gu Yue! Which cadre can withstand such a test?

"Squad leader, the Dark Holy Dragon is a true dragon martial soul with dark attributes. I plan to forge a spirit forging alloy that combines three metals," Tang Wulin said in a deep voice.

"Sinking silver has superior ductility, magic silver has elemental affinity that is compatible with the dark attribute, and Netherworld iron is the preferred rare metal for most dark martial souls. Netherworld silver, which is forged from sinking silver, magic silver, and Netherworld iron, is an excellent alloy for forging the Dark Holy Dragon Battle Armor."

“Alright, you focus on forging the Nether Silver, and we'll take care of the rest.”

Tang Wulin's forging talent is second only to the overpowered Qianjin Zhixiang Jiutian. Zhao Xuanzhen has never doubted his abilities. However, it seems that this kid can't forget about the sunken silver no matter where he goes...

Feng Wuyu, the Fiery Dragon Douluo, is the president of the Shrek City Blacksmith Association and has prepared dozens of rare metals for the competition. Tang Wulin found the three he needed on the metal platform. After completing the basic work before forging, he swung his pair of Spirit Forged Heavy Silver Hammers like a storm, the clanging sounds of which were crisp, melodious, and full of texture.

Yu Yuanheng, his face hardened, frantically swung his Thunder Hammer, each strike unleashing a burst of exploding blue lightning. He recognized Tang Wulin, one of the Donghai Academy team members who had inflicted immense humiliation upon him years ago. He was determined to get his revenge through forging!

The blacksmiths on both sides forged their weapons without stopping, while the others discussed the execution plan for the Dark Holy Dragon Battle Armor. Compared to the Inner Court Avengers team, the Outer Court team had the advantage that Zhao Xuanzhen was proficient in three secondary professions, allowing him to design the right-hand armor with Gu Yue and work with Yuanen Yehui to complete the final touches.

To test the limits of the two generations of geniuses, the Sea God Pavilion specially chose the extremely difficult Dark Sacred Dragon. At this moment, there was no real Dark Sacred Dragon Soul Master to refer to, so the mecha designer could only imagine and sketch according to his personal understanding of the Dark Sacred Dragon.

The drawing paper was laid flat on the metal table. Gu Yue drew lightly and smoothly, occasionally pausing to think. She would tilt her head and discuss with Zhao Xuanzhen. Her beautiful face was serene and exquisite, and her eyes and brows exuded infinite tenderness.

Looking at the harmonious music of Xuan Yue, Na'er gradually gritted her teeth. She saw the defiant look in Gu Yue's eyes as she raised them.

The Silver Dragon King commands the seven elemental dragons, including the Dark Dragon Clan, not to mention the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian, ​​as his bodyguard. Gu Yue knew the characteristics of the Dark Holy Dragon even with her eyes closed, and designed the right-hand armor with ease, requiring little help from a second person. Now, she was taking the opportunity to get closer to Zhao Xuanzhen!

"You wicked and cunning Gu Yue, you'll pay in a minute..."

Na'er ground her little tiger teeth in frustration, her Silver Dragon Spear already itching for a fight!

Time passed second by second, and the Spirit Forging Silver Hammer slammed down heavily. Tang Wulin's aura rose accordingly, the Golden Dragon Bloodline within his body surged wildly, and a loud and resounding dragon roar exploded. The air around his body was filled with light golden dragon scales.

The cracks spread out like a spider web, then shattered with a crash, and the dark silver emitted a dazzling light, each ray of light brimming with life.

Spiritual forging creates life!

A gasp rippled through the audience. Spirit Forging Creation, also known as Supreme Spirit Forging, is a rare achievement in a blacksmith's lifetime! In the second-year audience, a pair of beautiful eyes fell on Tang Wulin, rippling with indescribable emotions. It was Mu Xi, the daughter of Mu Chen, the Holy Craftsman of Donghai City.

Tang Wulin placed the Spirit Forged Nether Silver into the instrument on the metal platform to test the fusion degree of the alloy on the spot. The number broke through ninety in the blink of an eye, stopping at ninety-three percent!

Looking at his 82% spirit-forged alloy, Yu Yuanheng felt a chill run down his spine. His already arrogant demeanor instantly crumbled, his face turning as black as the bottom of a pot. Without a word, he handed the metal to the mecha manufacturer, Tang Dong.

At the same time, Gu Yue and Nangong Yao stopped painting one after the other, completing the design of the Dark Holy Dragon Gauntlets!

Zhao Xuanzhen and Tang Dong took over the third baton. They exchanged a glance, then lowered their heads to begin creating the battle armor.

As Zhao Xuanzhen ran his fingers across the metal surface, he felt the flow of dark energy. The Nether Silver, forged through countless trials, was icy cold to the touch, its interior seemingly solidified with ancient ice.

The dark gold claws pierced the metal without any violent sparks flying, only a serene rustling sound. Wherever the dark gold light passed, black metal fragments fell in a flurry.

The blades flow like dragons and snakes, meticulously crafted. The gauntlets and wrist guards are outlined with intricate and delicate dragon scale patterns, their edges sharp as knives, fitting together seamlessly to form a flowing, cold-light armor. The slightly protruding dragon head armor at the knuckles gradually takes shape, its lines clean and hard, the outlines of sharp teeth faintly visible, exuding a chilling aura.

Tang Dong's carving technique is bold and unrestrained, containing a primitive and violent beauty. The carving knife falls with a sharp metallic sound, and the dark red spirit-forged metal twists and shapes in his hands. The fangs of his left hand are exposed, as if a dark holy dragon is letting out a silent roar, determined to tear everything in sight to pieces.

On the platform, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, along with the teachers from the inner and outer academies, watched intently as the battle unfolded in the Soul Arena. Looking at the two teams that had already perfected their battle armor, Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li suddenly sighed:

"Brother Ming, they're all making two-word battle armor."

Yun Ming gently held his beloved wife's soft hand, his gaze distant: "Yes, a two-word battle armor."

It was expected that the inner courtyard would produce one, since they were already cultivating towards a two-word battle armor. However, the outer courtyard's achievement was truly surprising; these children's talent was indeed exceptional, a once-in-a-millennium occurrence.

"Ahem, ahem!" Blazing Dragon Douluo Feng Wuyu coughed a few times deliberately to attract the attention of the teachers. "I taught Wu Lin metal forging. What do you think of his technique?"

"Pah! You shameless old man!" Crimson Dragon Douluo Zhuoshi glared and said, "Wu Lin is my grand-disciple. Didn't you see that he used the reversed bloodline of the Crimson Dragon lineage for forging?"

"You old codger, trying to steal the credit, huh? Just wait until I break through to the Divine Craftsman level, and I won't give you that part of your battle armor that you forged for your buttocks!"

"Who cares? A hundred-year-old culinary master trying to break through to the level of a divine craftsman? That's wishful thinking!"

The Shrek Twin Dragons spat everywhere, their saliva flying. Yun Ming and Ya Li, as usual, ignored the two old children. Ya Li remembered something else and asked:

"Brother Ming, it's time for the academy to re-select the Shrek Seven Devils. Will the seven students from the outer academy be the new generation of Seven Devils?"

Yun Ming smiled wryly, "Zhao Xuanzhen, Gu Yue, and Yuanen Yehui are the confirmed disciples of the Spirit Transmission Tower. Although Ye Xinglan comes from the Star Saint Sword Ye family, which is close to the academy, she often acts with them. Who knows where she will go in the future?"

Le Zhengyu is the young master of the Holy Angel Family and the grandson of Angel Douluo Le Zhengen. He will most likely return to inherit the family business.

Only Tang Wulin and Xu Lizhi meet the requirements of the Shrek Seven Devils. Their backgrounds are not particularly strong, but they are close to Shrek Academy and being disciples of the Tang Sect are also a plus.

If the seven students from the outer courtyard were given the title of "Shrek Seven Devils," then most of the elders, including Sister Yue and Yue'er, would probably be furious.

“But they are about to head to the Star Luo Continent. The number seven is ambiguous. Monster Academy might misunderstand and think that they are the new generation of Shrek Seven Devils.” Ya Li frowned slightly.

Upon hearing this, Feng Wuyu quickly stopped arguing and said nonchalantly, "Who cares? The Sea God Pavilion has formulated a plan to establish a Shrek Academy branch on the Star Luo Continent, so it is inevitable that they will have to compete with the Star Luo First Academy, Monster Academy, to determine the winner."

It's said that Monster Academy has produced eight Heavenly Kings, each a standout among the younger generation, and the leader of the eight, Dragon King Long Yue, is particularly formidable. Tang Dong is older than him, but might not be his match, and the other disciples of the same age, like Li Qiankun and Mo Jue, are simply not qualified to spar with Long Yue.

The academy's reputation and prestige depend on its young people. So what if there's a misunderstanding? The Shrek Seven Devils versus the Eight Kings of the Monster Academy—that's a great gimmick. Let's see who's the real monster among monsters.

Yali's beautiful emerald eyes turned to Zhao Xuanzhen, then slowly shifted to the silver-haired girl who embodied the spirit of heaven and earth, and she murmured, "That makes sense, but after the Star Luo exchange trip ends, we may have to part ways with them."

"Don't think too much about it. Let's take it one step at a time," Yun Ming said softly, embracing his wife.

With less than a year left of the five-year agreement, Shrek Academy had two purposes in having Zhao Xuanzhen join the team heading to the Star Luo Continent.

First, he would use his extraordinary combat power to suppress Dragon King Long Yue, thus enhancing Shrek Academy's reputation on the Star Luo Continent. Second, while Xuan Na was thousands of miles away, he would relentlessly undermine her, ultimately attempting to persuade her to switch allegiances.

Yun Ming had already calmed down. Even if he couldn't take Na'er as his disciple, he would at least make sure she didn't hate Shrek Academy. He secretly made up his mind to keep a close watch on the Shrek Twin Moons to prevent them from causing any trouble.

"Buzz, buzz——"

The Dark Holy Dragon's left and right hand armors were completed almost simultaneously. The method to determine the winner was very simple: Zhao Xuanzhen and Tang Dong activated their battle armors, and two enormous, incomparable dark shadows soared into the sky!

Two jet-black dragons hovered in the air, their deep dragon eyes looking down with an indifferent gaze that seemed to see through everything. Two muffled thuds exploded, and the dark holy dragon formed on the right gauntlet swung its tail and slashed hard at the thick dragon scales covering the enemy dragon's chest. A loud sound like metal clashing rang out, and a trail of dazzling dark red sparks flew up!

Their movements were unusually synchronized; the two dark holy dragons opened their massive mouths, and the dark dragon breath brewing deep in their throats burst forth!

The stalemate lasted only a moment. The dark holy dragon formed from the right hand armor exerted its power a second time. The dark dragon breath surged and raged, forcefully resisting the opponent's dragon breath, and crushing forward inch by inch. Large swathes of air melted and annihilated!

"boom--"

There are also differences between two-word battle armors. The outer court team's alloy fusion and design and manufacturing skills are all superior to those of the inner court team, which translates into an absolute crushing defeat in battle armor!

The Dark Holy Dragon of the Inner Court was struck in the chest by the Dark Dragon Breath, and its body quickly became illusory before exploding in an extremely intense energy fluctuation!

"In the battle of secondary professions, the School of Foreign Languages ​​wins!"

When the Sky-Supporting Douluo Yun Ming announced the results, a thunderous cheer erupted from the outer courtyard. Once upon a time, the inner courtyard disciples were invincible monsters in the eyes of the outer courtyard; now, they suddenly realized that the monster was clearly among them!

"Seven-person team battle, please have both teams take the field!" Shen Yi dutifully called out.

Fourteen students from both the inner and outer academies stepped onto the Soul Arena. Drawn together by the energy emanating from each other, their auras continued to rise. Before the match even began, the clash of their auras had already started, with faint but intense fluctuations of soul power appearing, one wave higher than the next.

Yu Yuanheng's eyes were bloodshot, and his body trembled uncontrollably with excitement. Since being defeated by Donghai Academy four years ago, his smooth-sailing life had come to a turning point.

The mocking looks from those around him were almost maddening, and Zhao Xuanzhen's rapid rise only made his already messy life worse. He wanted revenge, he wanted to win back!

Yu Yuanheng's vision was filled with Zhao Xuanzhen, but Zhao Xuanzhen didn't even spare him a glance, looking slowly at the Avengers team leader, Ji Bing Tang Dong, and said:

"Four years ago, you told me to fight you in armor; this time, it's my turn to let you win."

As fate would have it, Zhao Xuanzhen was just a greenhorn at the time, while Tang Dong was the most brilliant young genius on the list. With such a huge age gap, Tang Dong didn't take Zhao Xuanzhen seriously.

Now, witnessed by countless people of the Sun Moon Federation, Zhao Xuanzhen defeated Huanglong Xu Tianzhao and single-handedly crushed the most outstanding young generation of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. A golden carp is no ordinary fish; it will transform into a dragon when it encounters wind and clouds.

"You'll keep your word, right?"

Tang Dong shrugged, making fun of his past embarrassing moments to show that he had broken free from failure.

"Junior Brother Zhao, to be honest, I care a lot about whether people will remember Tang Dong's name with admiration in the future. I tell myself to do my best, to be a role model, and to hope that in the future, Soul Masters will want to grow into the next me."

After I was defeated by you, there was a time when I was afraid, afraid of falling from a great height, afraid that the people's saying that the younger generation would surpass you was true.

Now, I am no longer afraid.

The future and the present are yours now. This battle is not about victory or defeat; I'm simply fighting you to the fullest before I can no longer see your back in the distance!

Chapter 109 Dao Soul and Ice Explosion Technique, Gu Yue VS Na'er, The War of the Silver Dragon King's Half-Body (4K)

The two sides clashed fiercely, neither giving an inch. The intense battle atmosphere was just right. Shen Yi glanced at both sides, raised his right hand high, and then brought it down with lightning speed!

"Game start!"

"Om-"

The two teams made the same decision: they all donned one-word battle armor at the start of the match!

Besides Zhao Xuanzhen, thirteen battle armors were displayed at once. The outer court students, who aimed to become one-word battle armor masters, immediately opened their eyes wide and stared intently at the magnificent battle armors!

Is this how Elder Jinchi felt when he saw the kasaya? So dazzling!

The outer courtyard's battle armor was incomplete, but its magnificent and majestic aura was no less impressive. Spirit alloy emerged from within its body, making it even more dazzling than the one-word battle armor worn by the inner courtyard's revenge team!
