"Wang Dong, I have to leave."
Shrek Academy has finally confirmed that all the students who are going to participate in the exchange activities with the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy are already in place. They carry their necessary items in their storage rings. Three years of studying abroad is a kind of life for them. Quite a fresh and intense experience.
After all, this is different from them coming from their hometown to study in Shrek City. Shrek Academy is the holy land in the hearts of soul masters across the continent, and it has an extremely special status in the hearts of the soul masters who originally belonged to the Douluo Three Kingdoms - more than four thousand years ago, it was Shrek Academy who led the Three Kingdoms to win the first war. , coming here to study can be regarded as a pilgrimage in a sense.
As for the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, then...it's like going deep into the tiger's den. After all, with the relationship between the Sun and Moon Empire and the Three Kingdoms, it is not an exaggeration to call it a quasi-enemy country. In the next three years, we must be more careful outside. Only his family and Shrek's "background" that could not directly play a role were there to protect him.
Moreover, I heard from teachers at the academy that the security of the Sun and Moon Empire seems to be not very good, and the evil soul masters are particularly active...
There is no Shrek Supervisory Team there to uphold justice and exterminate the evil soul masters. It is better not to run around and study peacefully in the academy.
At this time, Xiao Xiao was also saying goodbye to Wang Dong, who had come after her to see her off with a complicated expression.
"Xiao Xiao, I...you..."
Wang Dong's throat moved, but in the end he still couldn't figure out what to say.
Everyone is leaving soon, so what’s the point of trying to stay at this time? What were you doing earlier?
"Xiao Xiao, let me hug you one last time. The next time we meet may not be until three years at the latest..."
Seeing Wang Dong's somewhat disappointed and sad expression, Xiao Xiao couldn't bear to say any words of rejection and silently opened his arms.
"Thanks."
Wang Dong stepped forward and hugged Xiao Xiao gently, saying that the latter felt some vague oppression.
"Xiao Xiao, I'm really sorry."
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly after hearing Wang Dong's Riddler remarks.
"I can't blame you, and I don't blame you either."
"But you still choose... alas..."
Wang Dong lamented, in the final analysis, she still has to be blamed for the situation that happened today.
On the other side, Ling Luochen stared blankly at the person in front of her who came to see her off.
"Luochen is still in such good spirits today. I feel relieved to see that you are no longer in trouble."
Dai Yueheng's entire left arm was bandaged, and the lower half of his body showed signs of being bandaged. Even so, he still had a sunny smile on his face, making people feel much more comfortable just by looking at it.
Dai Yueheng waved his right hand to greet Ling Luochen, and Ling Luochen felt a lump in his throat when he saw this scene and felt like crying.
Before the start of this competition, on the day of the new and old seven monsters mixed match held by the college, Dai Yueheng also greeted her in the same way, especially the sentence "Luochen is still so energetic today."
Obviously, it happened less than a year ago. Why, why does it seem like a long, long time has passed...
Ling Luochen tightened her grip on her sleeves and looked at Dai Yueheng, whose blond hair was still styled into a chic hairstyle. Scenes from the past revived in her memory.
Gongyang Mo, who stuck up to her and asked her what kind of cosmetics she used to nourish her skin so delicately...
Xixi handed her the pastry and asked her "do you want to eat it?"...
Chen Zifeng and Yao Haoxuan, who are relatively gloomy and depressed, and even Ma Xiaotao, who has always been at odds with her...
In a blink of an eye, she was gone, and she and Dai Yueheng were really the only ones left... And Dai Yueheng was said to have to rest in this bandaged appearance for at least two years, which would inevitably affect his potential in the future. Although Duke White Tiger is willing to use many natural resources for his eldest son, the results are really unknown.
She has almost no friends in Shrek...
"Dai Yueheng... you are the only one left to see me off today."
Ling Luochen's tone contained unconcealed sorrow and grief, but Dai Yueheng's smile was still sunny, as if the person who lost half his life and almost fell into the hell gate was not him.
"So, Luochen, you are the last hope for the seven of us. We must take care of ourselves. When you return to the academy in three years, maybe I will have recovered, but I really hope to see you again in three years." Your cultivation has far surpassed mine."
"I understand...I will..."
Ling Luochen could not help but shed two tears. Although she had been eager to leave Shrek as soon as possible, facing Dai Yueheng, her last best friend in Shrek Academy with whom she had a deep friendship, The feelings that once seemed to be frozen could not help but have a small break.
"Oh, by the way, help me give my brother a message. What happened was that Hua Bin did something wrong. I apologized to him privately in my own name. But the White Tiger Duke's Palace will not tolerate bullying, and the Duke's Palace also has its own characteristics. I must fight hard. The person who is going to protect you. If we meet on the battlefield in the future, everyone has his own position and his own master, and I will not hold back."
"Your brother? Dai Huabin? No..."
"My younger brother at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, who is not even a commoner, is the boy who threatened to lead troops to visit the Duke's Mansion in ten years."
Ling Luochen, who was immersed in the atmosphere of separation and whose reaction was slow, suddenly realized:
"Oh... you're talking about him. Don't say that you won't hold anything back when we meet on the battlefield. It's better to heal your injuries first than anything else. Don't have to rely on Dai Huabin to protect you when the time comes."
"Haha!" Dai Yueheng raised his right hand and rubbed his blond hair, and smiled: "I understand, I will. If the two brothers fight for life and death, I can only sit on the side and worry. , I can’t stand this kind of thing.”
"Also, Luochen, find another opportunity to tell him one thing after this."
"Um?"
"My father later... found an opportunity to repair Huo Yun'er's grave and put up a sign for her. It said 'Tomb of Beloved Wife Huo Yun'er'. Of course, the necessary means were used to do it. I tried to cover it up to prevent people who shouldn’t see it from seeing it. This thing was done without telling my mother, and the few people who knew about it were given a silence order.”
After making sure that everyone else was keeping some distance away from him, Dai Yueheng looked into Ling Luochen's icy blue eyes and solemnly whispered: "If that kid seems calmer and listens to advice, then tell him, Who are the servants of the Duke's Palace? If you have any dissatisfaction, just point it at the main culprit like me. If something unspeakable happens in the future... please remember the friendship between Luo Li and her son. As a member of the White Tiger bloodline, repay It's enough to take the revenge he deserves, and we should leave some inheritance to the White Tiger lineage."
Ling Luochen narrowed his eyes, with an unspeakable meaning in his smile: "These words... really cannot be heard by other people in the academy. They are not like words that the White Tiger Duke would say."
"It's just some advice that I personally want you to pass on to me. His matter... after all, I never stopped him in the first place, and I have always turned a blind eye to it, which can be regarded as some responsibility."
As the White Tiger Duke's Palace launched relevant investigations under the order of Xu Jiawei, details about what happened to Huo Yuhao's mother and son were gradually unearthed. Although the insiders were generally controlled to a small range, given Dai Yueheng's status , obviously in this small circle.
Ling Luochen silently nodded in agreement, and Dai Yueheng also nodded slightly in agreement and stopped mentioning the matter, waiting for the time to set off with her.
Originally, this time, Mr. Xuan wanted to personally escort the students to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy for handover, to protect the academy while demonstrating Shrek's high-end combat power, and to deter the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy from any unwanted thoughts. But Yan Shaozhe firmly rejected it.
Of course, Dean Yan, who handles administrative affairs all year round, talks more about the art of language:
"How can Mr. Xuan come forward in person? The person the other party wants to lead a team to meet with is Jing Hongchen. I am the dean and he is also the dean. Our identities are equal. If Mr. Are we at Shrek Academy one head shorter than others?"
Mr. Xuan thought about it and felt that Yan Shaozhe's words were quite reasonable. Shrek couldn't lose face at the beginning of the exchange.
Ling Luochen didn't know the episode behind this, otherwise he would have breathed a sigh of relief again.
Beibei rubbed the high-grade storage ring on her finger, which contained a large number of extremely valuable training resources that Munn had prepared for him, enough to support his cultivation all the way to the Titled Douluo.
Beibei knew in his heart that to some extent, this was a legacy prepared by Xuanzu for him.
In the training room of the Golden Tree, Beibei received not only the "enlightenment" provided by the Golden Tree, but also the bloodline of the Holy Dragon of Light inspired by Munn himself. Beibei still clearly remembers Xuanzu's original To every word and sentence he said.
"You are the only descendant of my lineage. Back then, your parents died young while performing tasks for the Shrek Supervisory Corps. I was deeply saddened. And in you, I see the inheritance of the bright bloodline. Although your martial spirit It only possesses part of the mutated power of the Holy Dragon of Light."
"However, our lineage comes from Yu, Xiao, and Gang, descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family who were founded in Shrek Academy, who are also the famous master ancestors of our Shrek Academy. After thousands of years of inheritance, the surnames are changing, but Blue Lightning The bloodline of the Tyrannosaurus Rex has always remained unchanged. Your martial soul is in a semi-mutated state, which is not a bad thing. Xuanzu will leave at some point. Let me stabilize the bloodline of the Holy Dragon of Light for you. From now on, you must work hard to become stronger. , go down the road of your unique blue electric light Tyrannosaurus rex."
As he spoke, his old and skinny right hand gently fell on Beibei's head. Suddenly, the entire Poseidon Pavilion suddenly lit up, and the strong golden light flashed away. Beibei let out a muffled groan, and suddenly He fell down on the spot.
Golden electric lights flashed continuously on his body, and his whole body also had a looming change of golden color.
This is the power of Ultimate Douluo. Even if his life is about to come to an end, he can still mobilize the golden tree and his own power to stabilize his bloodline in a matter of seconds. After this, Beibei's martial soul mutation was completely stable, and as Mr. Mu said, it officially evolved into the blue electric light Tyrannosaurus rex.
At this moment, the color on Old Mu's face completely faded, and he became pale again. He clearly knew that what he had just done for Beibei would further violently consume his little remaining vitality and accelerate the window of ultimate Douluo-level combat power that Shrek would inevitably face after his death, but he Never regret it.
Not to mention that Beibei is his descendant, Moon has dedicated his whole life to Shrek, and he will not be able to take care of his descendants before dying. Even if Beibei has no blood connection with him, just for Shrek. If Lector creates a blue electric light tyrannosaurus that can at least reach the level of Super Douluo, it will all be worth it.
In the original work, this was an arrangement made only when Moon used his last strength before his death to entrust Huo Gua's generation of Shrek Seven Devils with his funeral arrangements. But because this exchange event was two years earlier than in the original work, Munn couldn't wait any longer. Waiting until his death to arrange the evolution of the martial soul for Beibei would probably be too late. He had to wait until Beibei left for Japan. The Moon Empire had previously arranged the future path for Beibei.
In the original work, Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan, the only remaining Shrek Seven Devils who did not join the Tang Clan, also officially joined the Tang Clan's revival at Moon's request before his death.
At the time, Moon said:
"Ten thousand years ago, the Tang Sect was at its peak. It can be said that without the Tang Sect founded by Tang San's ancestors, there would be no Shrek's ten thousand years of glory."
"Over the past ten thousand years, with the continuous development of soul guides and the decline of Tang Sect's talents, Tang Sect gradually fell into decline and was eventually invaded. Shrek Academy has always adhered to the policy of being impartial to all countries in the mainland, so the academy cannot No matter what you do, you can't save the Tang Sect's decline. But seeing the decline of the Tang Sect, I am very sad. Beibei found Xiaoya and joined the Tang Sect, which was my instruction."
"After the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition ends, you will become the new generation of Shrek's Seven Monsters, and this title and honor will accompany you for life. And the first generation of Shrek's Seven Monsters are all disciples of the Tang Sect. So. , I hope you can do the same, Shrek, it is an academy after all, and the academy cannot interfere too much in the affairs of the mainland, unless there is a major change that threatens our survival."
"And if you just belong to the same sect, naturally you are not subject to this restriction. I hope that in your hands, the Tang Sect can regain its vitality, rise again, and recreate the glory of thousands of years ago. And I believe that your talents are also absolutely No worse than the first generation Shrek Seven Monsters. Among the seven of you, the sect you come from may have some restrictions on you, but I still hope that you and Nan Nan can join the Tang Sect. The seven of you are united. , develop the Tang Sect and eventually become a top sect like the Noumenon Sect that can influence the situation on the mainland."
Faced with Moon's request, Jiang Nannan's reaction was:
"I am willing." Jiang Nannan spoke first, her tearful eyes showing determination, "Mr. Mu, don't worry, I am willing to join the Tang Clan and become a member of the Tang Clan. If I remember correctly, No. Xiao Wu’s ancestor martial spirit among the Shrek Seven Monsters is just like me, I will definitely try my best to follow her footsteps and help the Tang Sect regain its glory."
Another very interesting detail reveals the inner drama of Beibei and Tang Ya’s acquaintance and falling in love:
After hearing what Jiang Nannan said, Beibei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because Xu Sanshi had said a long time ago that as long as Jiang Nannan was willing to join the Tang Sect, he would join. And now, Jiang Nannan finally agreed. But, Xiaoya, where are you?
It is undeniable that when he took the initiative to approach Xiaoya and joined the Tang Clan when Xiaoya was in the most difficult time, he was guided by Xuanzu. However, with the contact with Tang Ya, over the years, he has truly fallen in love with the person who is for the sake of it. A girl who is willing to sacrifice everything for the rise of the Tang Sect. However, Xiaoya disappeared at this most critical time. More than a year passed without any news.
As for Xu Sanshi’s response:
"I am willing too." Xu Sanshi said. He glanced at Jiang Nannan and said: "Mr. Mu, I am willing to join the Tang Sect and break away from my family sect. The seven of us will work together to restore the Tang Sect. Build it up.”
Separation from the family clan: Refers to the Dou Ling Empire's army who turned Ling Dou City into an empty city because of Shrek's request for help. Two soul mentor groups from the Sun and Moon Empire attacked Ling Dou City, causing the entire Dou Ling Empire royal family to be annihilated. Xu then desperately rescued his family. Sanshi, as regent and sole heir to the throne, wore a yellow robe and temporarily took the throne.
At this time in Shrek Academy, the moment of separation finally arrived.
"Children, the meeting place we agreed with the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy is Maple Leaf City, which is located in the western frontier of the Heavenly Soul Empire. We will distribute flying soul guides to everyone later."
Yan Shaozhe clapped his hands, causing the students who were telling their farewells to their friends to focus all their attention on him.
"Now, let us say goodbye to the academy before our three-year journey begins."
With that said, Yan Shaozhe gave a warning to the students and turned towards the direction of Poseidon Pavilion.
"All members of Shrek Academy, bow three times to Poseidon Pavilion!"
From Yan Shaozhe and Fan Yu, who was the leading teacher, to every student, everyone bowed slowly and neatly three times in the direction of Poseidon Pavilion.
This time, from the perspective of important students, Shrek’s Ning Tian, Xiao Xiao, Ling Luochen and Beibei corresponded to Lin Xi and Xiao Hongchen from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. Generally speaking, Shrek suffered the loss of one person, and more An important student was exchanged. But considering that the students themselves had a strong willingness to take initiative, they reluctantly tolerated it.
As for the cabbage?
He was just an addition, but the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy didn't take him seriously. Even if He Caitou is the direct disciple of Fan Yu, Shrek's most talented teacher in the Soul Guidance Department, his Wuhun is quite good among the auxiliary soul masters in the Food Department, and he is even better among Shrek's students in terms of Soul Guidance Devices. Chen Chen's talent is still a bit lacking after all. At least the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy has no intention of poaching him at the moment.
In the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, a farewell ceremony was also held for the exchange team.
The teacher representatives and student representatives of the college symbolically presented flowers to team leader Lin Xi and vice-captain Xiao Hongchen to express their blessings, while the teachers and friends of the exchange team members gave gifts in private.
After Meng Hongchen gave Xiao Hongchen a storage ring, Huo Yuhao followed closely and handed Xiao Hongchen a gift, whispering:
"I thought about it for a moment. Although it was my intention to give you something like a soul guide, it was still a little off-putting. With your status, you have seen all kinds of high-end soul guides, and you have so many soul guides on your body. It’s no problem if I give you two more, and I can’t give you a high-end soul guidance tool. I’m even inferior to you in terms of soul guidance skills. After all, even the advanced soul guidance tools I have are basically gifts from your grandfather. , I won’t use it to show off my shame. Even the high-end soul tools that are usually temporarily borrowed sometimes have to be supported by Senior Meng..."
The corner of Xiao Hongchen's mouth twitched, and he resisted the desire to raise his hand and slap Huo Yuhao's head.
Huo Yuhao took out another storage ring from his body and handed it to Xiao Hongchen:
"Well... Counting the one that Senior Meng gave you just now, you now have three storage rings that you wear with you. I doubt that the gifts you received today will cover all the fingers of both hands. It’s not even enough.”
"After careful consideration, I chose to give you ten level six milk bottles, which are filled with the same ultimate ice soul power that I prepared for Senior Lin Xi on the field. Don't worry, these ten milk bottles are also the same as those I gave to Lin Xi. The senior's special milk bottle is of the same ancient style, and it does not have a soul power purification circle. The soul power remains the same when it is put in, and it remains the same after use."
"Don't worry about the loss of soul power. These ten bottles are semi-finished sealed bottles that Mr. If the situation is correct, about half will be left after two years, and a quarter will be left after three years. Using it as a national reserve will not meet the demand, but it should be enough to prepare for your trip. "
Xiao Hongchen's brows widened. He took a long breath and took the storage ring from Huo Yuhao's hand. He nodded slightly and said: "It is indeed ingenious and has uniqueness that must be you... Thank you very much. You should pay attention to yourself in the academy." Safety."
"It's okay. There are a lot of people in the academy who are willing to protect me. In contrast, you should worry more about yourself. After all, Shrek is a strange and not very friendly place." Huo Yuhao shrugged and smiled.
"Oh, by the way, the purpose of giving you the Ultimate Ice Milk Bottle is to use it for self-defense. Ultimate Ice is not only immune to fire attribute soul power, but also has the property of being invulnerable to all poisons. When necessary, you can use the Ultimate Ice Body Protection to break through the poison array. . Don’t use this thing if you can, and try not to show it in Shrek Academy, otherwise Senior Lin Xi may be in big trouble.”
"Don't worry." Xiao Hongchen smiled and lightly punched Huo Yuhao's shoulder.
"Lin Xi and I have some friendship, so it would be best if we could bring him back safely."
Compared with the original work, Shrek wanted to use He Caitou's high-profile performance to cover up Huo Yuhao's approach to protecting his safety. The Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's approach of pushing Lin Xi out for exchange can be said to be the same, but the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy did not If it is too strong, it must cover up Huo Yuhao's wishes.
Anyway, Huo Yuhao is still on his own territory. Shrek can't do anything, so he can basically rest assured. If you are exposed, you will be exposed. Doing this may cause Lin Xi a lot of pain and bring him certain risks.
Compared with He Caitou in the original work, on the contrary, Lin Xi who went to Shrek Academy still had to rely on Huo Yuhao to try to avoid showing his ultimate ice to protect him to a certain extent... To a certain extent, fate was really wonderful. A 180-degree turn.
"Okay, everyone, equip all the flying soul guides."
When the acceptance and farewell session for the team members was over, and everything that needed to be said and received had been dealt with, Jing Hongchen asked someone to hand out the academy-standard flying soul guide.
"Our target is Maple Leaf City in the Sky Soul Empire. Shrek's people should have already set off, but our flying soul guides are much more advanced than theirs. In ancient times, our horses were faster than theirs!"
"Everyone is ready to set off, but we can't let Shrek's people arrive early and grab the lead and wait for us there!"
