Chapter 62 of the First Person
Chapter 62 of the First Person
While his opponent was still in shock, Qian Gu Chen Ran had already disappeared from his original spot and teleported to the agility-type Soul Master who had been lurking around him from the beginning, ready to strike him.
*Thump!* Before she could react, Qian Gu Chen Ran gently patted her on the back.
But as an elite student of Shrek Academy's outer court, Michelle was already prepared to unleash her soul skill at any moment. After being slapped away by Qian Gu Chenran's palm, she split into two clones in mid-air. With the combined help of the two clones, she finally managed to stabilize herself just before falling off the stage.
Ha! Interesting! Qian Gu Chen Ran was enveloped in silver flames, and his second and fourth soul rings flickered.
Time seemed to stand still, and the Thirty-Three Heavens Tribulation struck simultaneously, silver light and purple lightning seas covering the entire arena. The other six members of Class 3-1 did their best to withstand the onslaught. Shangguan Hun shouted to his classmates, "Everyone, gather together!"
Despite the swift reactions of the other six, they were still enveloped by the Time-Binding Tribulation. Under this soul skill that affected time, the six were struck by heavenly lightning before they could even unleash their defensive soul skills.
As soon as the opponent is hit, thirty-three negative statuses, including weakness, dizziness, paralysis, and sluggishness, come rushing in.
Looking at the students being used as targets above, the homeroom teacher of Class 3-1 sighed, "It's over!"
They can't win! The fact that they didn't use their battle armor from the start meant that Class 3-1 was destined to lose this match.
But the homeroom teacher of Class 1, Grade 3, also knew that the students weren't to blame for the match. It was just too fast; Niu Long'an was taken down by the opponent in an instant.
And those two soul skills, one is a group control skill and the other is a group attack skill, the two soul skills work together seamlessly.
Furthermore, Shangguan Hun, the class's top fighter, was completely unable to unleash his full potential in this match. Judging from the situation, his opponent's mental strength was likely far superior to Shangguan Hun's. This type of opponent is precisely the kind Shangguan Hun fears most.
Ya Li shook her head helplessly as she looked at Qian Gu Chen Ran's performance.
Her intention was to let the other team experience the power of team competition, not to let him go on stage alone and seem like he was just randomly killing everyone.
The other six were still somewhat reeling from the fact that they had been easily defeated by a ten-year-old child, but at the same time, they breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, he is the future master craftsman and the heir of the Spirit Pagoda, so it's not shameful for him to lose to his opponent.
Chapter 116, Section 111: Original Story Collaboration
Qian Gu Chenran nodded to the seven people opposite him, then led Na'er and the others back to stand beside Shen Yi.
Shen Yi still had a wry smile on his lips. The academy's original intention was to cultivate teamwork among the group and foster camaraderie through battles against formidable opponents.
However, Qian Gu Chen Ran's strength remained as outstanding as ever, and he single-handedly defeated his opponent so much that they couldn't even put on their battle armor.
But to be honest, in Shen Yi's opinion, even if the students from Class 1 of the third year wore battle armor, they were still no match for Qian Gu.
It's important to know that the legendary martial spirit of the Qian Gu family is the Panlong Staff. Having taught Qian Gu Chenran for nearly a year, Shen Yi had personally witnessed and experienced Qian Gu Chenran's Panlong Staff martial spirit.
If Qian Gu Chen Ran had used the Panlong Staff martial spirit from the beginning, the opponent's injuries wouldn't be as light as they are now.
After leading the four back to the classroom, Shen Yi summarized a few more points and then announced the end of get out of class. As soon as Shen Yi left, Na'er immediately jumped up from her chair: "Come on! Come on! Come on! Let's go celebrate Chen Ran's great victory today!"
"Who's treating?" Qian Gu Chen Ran asked Na'er jokingly.
"Of course it's you! Do you expect me, Xinglan, and Yehui, three poor bastards, to invite you, young master? Can you really bear to do that?" After saying that, Na'er stared at Qian Gu Chenran with her eyes that looked like purple gemstones.
Seeing the little silver dragon king deliberately putting on a pitiful look, Qian Gu Chen Ran smiled and led the two to the restaurant to order food, waiting for Yuan En Ye Hui to finish class before they started eating together.
Xu Lizhi watched the three figures disappear into the distance. He reached out his hand, wanting to say something, but couldn't bring himself to speak.
He was just a weak support-type Soul Master; he couldn't do anything.
........................
Yuanen Zhentian flew back to the Yuanen clan's ancestral land, weary from his journey. To let his clansmen know that they could finally live a good life, Yuanen Zhentian dared not stop for a moment and finally flew back to his clan in a short time.
As soon as he entered the family gate, he used his soul power to amplify his voice and summon all the family's senior members for a meeting.
Upon hearing the clan leader's urgent order, Yuan Entian, his second son and other high-ranking members disregarded their own affairs and rushed to the clan council hall.
Once all the senior executives had arrived, Yuan Enzhen began to explain the purpose of today's meeting.
"Gentlemen! Shrek Academy is going too far. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that they would dare to treat members of our Yuanen clan like this."
Hearing Yuanen Zhentian's angry tone, the group of high-ranking officials looked at each other in bewilderment, while Yuanen Tianshang and other insiders had complicated expressions.
The Yuanen clan has always lived in seclusion deep in the mountains and forests, the entire clan living in a state of seclusion. Apart from a few powerful members of the clan who are stuck at a bottleneck and choose to go out to train, most of the children and kids generally live within the clan and study in the clan's school.
But when it comes to which member of the younger generation in the family went to study at Shrek Academy, Yuanen Tianshang couldn't think of a second person besides his niece, Yuanen Yehui.
"Studying at Shrek Academy? Aside from Little Night Glow, is there anyone else in our clan studying at Shrek? Could it be that she was bullied by the Shrek students?! I told you not to send Little Night Glow there!"
You wouldn't listen! Now look what happened, the child got bullied. If you ask me, we should take the child back, and then we'll figure out a solution."
Seeing that no one else had spoken, a short but very strong old man took the initiative to speak.
He was Yuanen Zhentian's third younger brother and Yuanen Yehui's third grandfather. Naturally, this third grandfather was very fond of this granddaughter.
He was the one who most disagreed with Yuanen Yehui leaving home back then. Although her mother Yehui caused heavy losses to the family, what did that have to do with her, the child?
Yuan Enhui was also a victim of that war. Her mother died overnight, and her father became a cripple, living a life of despair. She was unaware of what had happened back then and had been kept in the dark.
Moreover, he had already noticed that Shrek Academy was somewhat unreliable back then. When they arrived to provide assistance, that Light and Dark Douluo flew to the sky before even engaging in battle and simply watched from there.
Sigh! Hearing his third brother's complaints, Yuanen Zhentian also sighed. At the time, he still thought Shrek Academy had some sense of morality and righteousness, but he never expected that they would treat his little Yehui like this.
"It's all my fault! If I hadn't secretly gone to Shrek Academy to investigate, we wouldn't have expected them to treat Ye Hui like that."
At this point, Yuan Enzhentian took out the picture that Qian Gu Dongfeng had prepared for him and showed it to everyone.
In order to make the Yuanen clan deeply aware of Shrek Academy's evil nature, Qian Gu Dongfeng specially asked his nephew to take a 360-degree, all-around photo of Shrek Academy's work-study dormitory.
He photographed the rotten wooden planks, broken windows, rickety door, and leaky roof, just as his uncle had requested. He even bought a cheap meal that Yuan Enhui used to eat and took pictures of it.
Upon seeing Qian Yuanen Zhentian produce the photos, the high-ranking members of the Yuanen clan turned red with anger, their faces resembling monkey bottoms.
Bang! "This is outrageous! Does Shrek think our Yuanen clan has no one left? How dare they treat our clansmen like this! What a joke! Making Yuanen Yehui live in that dilapidated wooden house that's almost as old as me, what do they mean by that?!"
A middle-aged man at the Title Douluo level slammed his fist on the table in dissatisfaction. Although many high-ranking officials who knew the cause of what happened back then had opinions about Yuanen Yehui's mother, they would not treat Yuanen Yehui like this.
No matter what, Yuanen Yehui was still a member of their Yuanen clan. A promising candidate for Title Douluo. They handed her over, and this is how Shrek Academy treated their Yuanen clan.
Yuanen Tianshang was also filled with anger. Their clan might be poor, but their fists were not to be trifled with. If Shrek Academy truly went too far, their Yuanen clan would simply ally with the Spirit Pagoda to deal with them.
Yuan Entianshang is indeed Yuan Enzhentian's son; the two of them are thinking the same thing.
After the clansmen had vented their anger, Yuan Enzhen slapped the table to signal them to quiet down.
The clan leader gestured for silence, and the others, still angry, returned to their seats, waiting for Yuanen Zhentian to continue.
They believed that Yuanen Zhentian would not let Shrek off so easily. After all, although their Yuanen clan was poor, they would not allow others to ride roughshod over them.
"Gentlemen! Shrek Academy has gone too far in bullying us. I initially thought the recent uproar was just the work of some people at Shrek. But after investigation, I've discovered that, apart from Elder He, most of the Shrek elders are a bunch of snakes and rats, none of them are good people."
At this point, Yuan Enzhentian took out a black bank card and placed it on the table before slowly saying, "It just so happens that Ye Hui has joined the Spirit Pagoda. Taking this opportunity, I personally inspected the Spirit Pagoda and reached an agreement with Zhan Tian Douluo Qian Gu Die Ting and Spirit Pagoda Qian Gu Dong Feng."
From this day forward, our Yuanen clan and the Spirit Pagoda are officially allies.
Upon hearing this, Yuanen Tianshang was the first to break down. He had only said it casually. He never expected his father to actually ally with the Spirit Pagoda!
But this is for the best! Yuan Entian thought about the public's opinion of the Spirit Pagoda, and he was quite in favor of his father's cooperation this time!
Sorry for writing this so late! I was busy trying to mediate their fight! We just managed to settle things.
Chapter 117 Money Ability
"Cooperate with the Spirit Pagoda? This..."
"Clan leader! We've never been in contact with the Spirit Pagoda before. Is this kind of cooperation really feasible?"
"Yes! Shrek Academy is a perfect example! Do you think we should reconsider?"
Hearing his clansmen's worries, Yuanen Zhentian wasn't surprised. After all, their Yuanen clan had always lived in seclusion. Apart from the families they had married into, the only other powerful force they had ever contacted was the unreliable Shrek Academy.
Shrek's actions this time angered the tribe and made them worried about cooperating with outside forces.
When Yuan Entianshang saw that the older generation of clansmen were about to back down again, he immediately objected. "What a joke! We finally found a big investor to sponsor us, why are you backing down?!"
"Everyone! We must act decisively now. You all know what kind of person Shrek Dragon Night Moon is. She even dared to slap the Speaker of the Federation! Who knows if she might lose her mind and come looking for trouble for our Yuanen Clan later?"
Of course, Father's strength is definitely not weaker than that of Long Yeyue. However, we are lacking one thing! I think you all know that without me saying it!
Battle Armor! Before Yuanen Tianshang could finish speaking, everyone's hearts sank. In this era where even Title Douluos possess three-word Battle Armor, no matter how powerful the Titan Giant Ape of their Yuanen clan was, it still couldn't match the boost that Battle Armor provided to a Soul Master at the same level.
The lowest cultivation level among the twenty-odd high-ranking members present was Soul Saint, but most of them only possessed two-word battle armor. Three-word battle armor seemed a distant dream.
Seeing that his people had been persuaded, Yuan Entianshang continued, "Everyone! If we had had the amplification of our battle armor in that battle back then, wouldn't many of our relatives and friends not have died? Wouldn't cooperating with the Spirit Pagoda have improved the lives of many of our people?"
At this point, Yuan Entian's eyes reddened. He, too, lost his beloved wife in that disaster.
Yuan Enzhen nodded to his second son and continued, "In this era, no matter how much we live in seclusion or avoid the world, we still can't escape the Spirit Pagoda! Without soul spirits, how can we soul masters level up?"
Moreover, the Spirit Pagoda is incredibly powerful. Among the major powers today, they are the only one that can instill pressure and fear in Shrek Academy! Furthermore, the Spirit Pagoda is far more generous than that worthless Shrek Academy; this bank card is their way of showing us their sincerity.
Yuan Enzhentian casually handed it to the clansman beside him, who, following Yuan Enzhentian's instructions, entered the bank card number into the Federal Bank's software.
Looking at the dense array of zeros, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He stretched out his fingers and counted the zeros with trembling hands.
"One, two, three... eight. Nine hundred million! Nine hundred million!" Upon hearing this number, all the high-ranking officials except Yuan Enzhentian rushed over.
Yuan Entian rubbed his eyes in disbelief. When he finally confirmed that the money inside was real, he couldn't help but laugh wildly to the sky.
Other senior executives, under his leadership, also expressed their joy.
That's 900 million! With this money, the Yuanen clan's finances will finally be less strained.
Moreover, this is just the Spirit Pagoda's sincerity for this cooperation; if a long-term partnership were to be reached, they dare not even imagine how far their Yuanen clan would develop.
Hearing the joyful laughter of his people, Yuanen Zhentian smiled with satisfaction. He had finally led his people to a better life.
After the clansmen had finished expressing their joy, Yuan Enzhen took out another soul tool given to him by Qian Gu Dongfeng.
Yuan Entianshang wanted to see the medicinal herbs and cultivation resources displayed inside. His usually stern face was almost splitting with laughter.
"This Spirit Pagoda is much better than that Shrek Academy!"
"Yes! I think this collaboration with the Spirit Pagoda is a good idea! The Spirit Pagoda is capable!"
"Exactly! Anyone who objects again will get a taste of my Titan's Grip!"
..............................
After hearing the widespread reactions from his clansmen, Yuanen Zhentian went on to mention the other benefits offered by the Spirit Pagoda.
Upon hearing about the discount on souls and the limited spots available at the Ascension Platform, all the high-ranking officials' faces flushed even more.
But this time he wasn't angry; this time he was overjoyed.
What makes a good ally in Douluo Continent? The Spirit Pagoda is the perfect example. Then look at Shrek Academy. Without comparison, there's no difference!
