Chapter 111 The Arrival of the Star Luo People: Shattered Star Douluo
Less than an hour after the uproar caused by Poison Undying subsided, Shrek Academy welcomed another heavyweight uninvited guest: Jing Hongchen, the Mingde Hall Master of the Sun Moon Empire.
Unlike the domineering and unrestrained nature of the Body Sect, Jing Hongchen's visit was full of the shrewdness and calculation of a politician.
His objectives were clear: first, to retrieve the Judgment Sword, an eighth-level soul tool that Xuanzi had confiscated during the competition; and second, to discuss the previously proposed "exchange student" plan.
Mu En demanded that Jing Hongchen heal Ma Xiaotao before returning the Sword of Judgment. However, Jing Hongchen was also helpless against the evil fire. In the end, not only did he fail to retrieve the Sword of Judgment, but he also gave Huo Yuhao a level nine soul tool, Hongchen Blessing, as a ticket to enter the Sea God Pavilion.
Jing Hongchen cursed the old fox inwardly, but had to suppress his displeasure and move on to his second objective: the academy exchange.
To his surprise, Moon and the elders of the Sea God Pavilion did not make things too difficult for him on this issue. Shrek Academy also needed to understand the latest developments of the Sun Moon Empire in soul tools; closing itself off would only lead to falling behind.
Both sides had their own agendas, yet shared the same goal, and the discussions on the details of exchanging students went surprisingly smoothly.
Ultimately, both parties agreed that two years later, they would send their best students to each other's colleges for a two-and-a-half-year study exchange program.
These negotiations and deals, which could significantly impact the future landscape of the mainland, were like watching a fire from across the river for Dai Youheng, failing to stir any emotion within him.
Whether Ma Xiaotao lives or dies is none of his business. Where does the sword of judgment belong? It's irrelevant.
The open and covert struggle between Sun Moon and Shrek? For now, it's just a game between chess players, and he hasn't officially entered the fray yet.
He was like a calm spectator, watching the actors on stage perform their best, while silently counting down the moments until his own turn.
He stood alone by the window, his gaze seemingly piercing through the dormitory walls, beyond Shrek Academy's high walls, and reaching towards the distant south, to the vast land belonging to the Star Luo Empire. His fingertips unconsciously tapped lightly on the windowsill, a steady rhythm carrying a sense of complete control.
"Mingde Hall—Body Sect—Shrek—" He murmured the names of the three strongest forces on the continent, a barely perceptible smile curving his lips.
One day, he'll join in and have some fun with them.
At this moment, all his thoughts were focused on tomorrow.
As agreed with Xu Jiujiu, the people from the Star Luo Empire will arrive tomorrow.
Shrek was ultimately just a stopover. A sense of anticipation welled up within me as I prepared to break free from my constraints and leap into a wider world.
The next day, the agreed time arrived precisely at the second.
The two vast and majestic auras did not deliberately flaunt themselves, but like boulders thrown into a calm lake, they instantly shattered the tranquility of Shrek Academy in the early morning.
There were only two people who came, but they represented the will and profound foundation of the Star Luo Empire.
One of them was Manyi, the Nebula Douluo whom Dai Youheng had met before. She was still dressed in a simple red robe, her expression calm, but her eyes were sharp as an eagle. She stood silently half a step behind, showing her respect for the person in front of her.
What truly shook the Sea God Pavilion was the old man before her. He wasn't particularly imposing, yet he stood ramrod straight, like a spear piercing the heavens. As his eyes opened and closed, glittering golden light flickered within them, as if a piece of the starry sky were sealed within them. Wherever his gaze fell, the air seemed to distort slightly, carrying an invisible sharpness capable of tearing everything apart.
Shattered Star Douluo! The third elder of the Star Luo Empire's Hall of Worship, a Super Douluo, whose martial soul is Shattered Star Light, a powerful figure with unfathomable strength!
The arrival of these two figures together was far from ordinary. Upon receiving the news, Yan Shaozhe immediately appeared to greet them, his heart filled with surprise and uncertainty. He had just seen Jing Hongchen off yesterday, and today a top figure from the Star Luo Empire had arrived. When did Shrek Academy become a marketplace for Title Douluo?
"Your Excellency Suixing, Your Excellency Manyi, we are unaware of your presence and what brings you here?" Yan Shaozhe was courteous, but inwardly he was on high alert.
Shattered Star Douluo's voice was calm yet carried an inherent authority. "Dean Yan, there's no need for formalities. We two have come today on private matters. We are here on the orders of Princess Jiujiu of the Empire to bring your esteemed academy's student, Dai Youheng, back to the country. In accordance with the laws of the Empire and the rules of your academy, we will handle his graduation from the outer academy."
Yan Shaozhe's heart sank. His worst fears had come true. Dai Youheng's performance in the competition was too dazzling; the Star Luo Empire was eager to reclaim this power!
"Your Excellencies, You Heng possesses extraordinary talent and is a gem among our inner academy's talents. The academy has decided to include him as a candidate for the next generation of Shrek Seven Devils and is devoting all its efforts to nurturing him." Yan Shaozhe attempted to persuade him to stay, his tone sincere. "The academy has even selected suitable high-level soul bones for him in the inner treasury and plans to hunt down a 100,000-year-old soul beast when he reaches the Title Douluo realm and obtains his ninth soul ring. Such conditions are something the Empire may not be able to afford. Staying at Shrek Academy will ensure his limitless future, so why rush back home?"
Just then, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and the Lan sisters, having heard the news, arrived and overheard Yan Shaozhe's promise. A 100,000-year spirit ring! Such a temptation was an almost dreamlike promise for a spirit master.
"Brother Youheng, is what the Dean said true? A 100,000-year soul ring!" Xiao Xiao exclaimed.
Huo Yuhao stepped forward, his eyes filled with complex emotions. "Brother, stay. This is the place where you can best unleash your talents."
Although Wang Dong didn't speak, his eyes revealed his approval.
Despite the crowd's attempts to persuade him to stay, Dai Youheng remained calm and composed.
He knew he had to put on a convincing act. A perfectly timed bitter smile, a mixture of gratitude and helplessness, appeared on his face, but his gaze remained unusually firm as he looked at Yan Shaozhe and his companions.
"Dean, I am deeply grateful for your kindness. I also appreciate everyone's good intentions." He first bowed to everyone, then took a deep breath, as if he had made some great decision. He looked into the distance, and his tone became deep and ethereal, as if he were making a sacred vow.
"But all the treasures of the world are not as precious to me as Princess Jiujiu's smile. Fame, fortune, and peerless soul rings are all insignificant compared to being able to stay by her side. She is my highest dream since my youth, and the only place I have chosen for this life. Returning to my country to help her and protect Xingluo is the path I have chosen. I will never regret this, even if it means dying a hundred times."
This declaration of love was sincere and resounding. Even the Star Shattering Douluo looked at him with less scrutiny and more of a strange meaning, showing both admiration for his devotion and regret for his giving up his 100,000-year soul ring for love.
