Chapter 38: Dugu Yan Punches Yan Shaozhe Into Dreamland
“What?!”
Dugu Yan’s words were like a clap of thunder, suddenly echoing in everyone’s ears. In an instant, everyone was drawn to her voice, turning to look at Dugu Yan with expressions of disbelief and shock.
Especially the New Students; their gazes were pure and direct, openly revealing their admiration for Dugu Yan. For these young men and women just entering the Academy, a Title Douluo was a legendary existence! They had only heard of them but never had the chance to witness one firsthand.
Now, a genuine Title Douluo stood before them, a shock that was simply indescribable.
Many young men widened their eyes, mouths slightly agape, as if they had seen the most incredible sight in the world.
And the female Soul Masters were even more fervent.
Their eyes sparkled with excitement, secretly aspiring to one day become as powerful and dazzling as the female Title Douluo before them. For them, becoming such an outstanding female Soul Master was undoubtedly the greatest dream in life.
In contrast, Dean Yan Shaozhe seemed somewhat unfamiliar to most New Students.
Although he was the Dean of the Outer Court, compared to Dugu Yan, a Title Douluo, he was clearly a step behind.
After all, in the students’ minds, while the Soul Douluo level of strength was already quite formidable, it ultimately couldn't compare to a Title Douluo. So, when they heard Dugu Yan’s title, everyone’s attention naturally focused on her.
Yan Shaozhe: …
Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun’s gazes, however, were completely different from those of the New Students. They were incredibly disbelieving and shocked, as if they had seen the legendary Tang San’s Ancestor.
“H-h-how is this possible?!”
Yan Shaozhe used his soul power to relieve Du Weilun’s pressure, staring at Dugu Yan with shocked and disbelieving eyes: “I remember you were only a Soul Emperor at that time!”
“Oh my~ It seems Dean Yan hasn’t forgotten me, a person abandoned by the times.” Dugu Yan’s tone was still that of a mocking monster, her gaze fixed on Yan Shaozhe like a venomous snake staring at its prey.
“Hehe…” Yan Shaozhe quickly adjusted his mindset, and nine Soul Rings rose from his feet. “I see you cultivate so quickly; you must be an Evil Soul Master. Today, I will capture you and the two young ladies behind you and bring you back to Sea God Pavilion for judgment!”
That’s right! Yan Shaozhe was somewhat envious and had other ideas about Dugu Yan’s rapid cultivation method. If she cultivated so quickly and wasn't using Evil Soul Master cultivation methods, then she must have found the Immortal Herb treasure land from Tang San’s Ancestor’s era, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
Although Master Yu’s notes recorded that the treasure land belonged to Du Gu Bo, the Poison Douluo, those Immortal Herbs could only be used by Tang San’s Ancestor, so that treasure land should belong to Shrek Academy!
As long as she was captured and brought back to Sea God Pavilion, he would know the location of that treasure land. This way, Xiao Tao’s evil fire affliction could be easily resolved, his master’s injuries could heal, and he himself could advance to a higher level!
“Still such a disgusting face.”
Upon hearing Yan Shaozhe’s words, Dugu Yan felt an even stronger sense of disgust. She transmitted her soul power to Mo Yan behind her: “Mo Yan, I apologize for taking action without permission.”
She couldn't stand Yan Shaozhe’s disgusting face.
“It’s fine.” Mo Yan indicated it was fine, but still said mischievously: “Sister Yan, don’t lose. If you lose, you’ll have to go back to that guy for punishment~”
“Yes.”
Dugu Yan’s cheeks were slightly flushed as she nodded. She knew who Mo Yan was referring to, and the thought of that punishment made her blush, but now was not the time to think about it.
When she looked towards Yan Shaozhe, her expression instantly turned cold. Nine Soul Rings rose from her feet—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red—nine Soul Rings even more dazzling than Yan Shaozhe’s floated around Dugu Yan.
All the New Students were extremely shocked. They hadn't expected Dean Yan to be a Title Douluo, and even more, they hadn't expected Dugu Yan to not only be a Title Douluo but also possess a 100,000-year Soul Ring!
Yan Shaozhe’s thoughts churned, and a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
He had originally thought Dugu Yan was just an ordinary Title Douluo, and with his Super Douluo strength, he could easily suppress her.
However, when Dugu Yan’s ninth Soul Ring appeared, that deep red light instantly shattered all his expectations.
A 100,000-year Soul Ring!
This level of Soul Ring was not easily obtained even by a Super Douluo. Yan Shaozhe knew that a Title Douluo with a 100,000-year Soul Ring was far from an ordinary Title Douluo.
Dugu Yan’s Soul Ring configuration even surpassed his, meaning the gap in strength between them had been leveled, and Dugu Yan might even be superior in some aspects.
Yan Shaozhe secretly pondered that if it were a one-on-one fight, he might not be able to guarantee victory.
Although he was a Super Douluo, facing a Title Douluo with a 100,000-year Soul Ring, the outcome was unpredictable. If he forced an attack, he would likely fall into a stalemate, or even be counter-attacked by the opponent.
He couldn't help but feel a hint of apprehension.
If he called Xuan Zi for assistance, things would inevitably escalate. Dugu Yan clearly had powerful forces supporting her; otherwise, she couldn't have hunted a 100,000-year Soul Beast alone.
Once the forces behind both sides intervened, the situation would become extremely complex, possibly even leading to a larger conflict.
Yan Shaozhe took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.
He knew that he couldn't act rashly at this moment. Instead of risking an attack, it would be better to temporarily retreat and convene the Sea God Pavilion meeting to let his teacher make the decision.
Mu En: 6, everything has to come to me. What if I die?
Dugu Yan’s sudden move completely caught Yan Shaozhe off guard.
He had originally thought that both sides had reached some kind of understanding and would not easily attack.
However, Dugu Yan’s decisiveness and ruthlessness caught him off guard. That punch carried a fierce soul power fluctuation, directly sending him flying, crashing heavily into a distant building.
“Dean!” Du Weilun exclaimed, hurriedly flying over to check on Yan Shaozhe’s condition. His face was extremely grim; he clearly hadn't expected Dugu Yan to be so strong, even sending a Super Douluo like Yan Shaozhe flying with one punch.
Dugu Yan, however, ignored Yan Shaozhe’s discomfiture. Her gaze coldly swept over the direction of Shrek Academy, as if waiting for something.
Sure enough, the next moment, a terrifying aura erupted from deep within the Academy, accompanied by a deafening roar:
“Bastard! Which dog dares to act wildly at Shrek Academy?!”
The voice rolled like thunder, shaking the surrounding space slightly. Immediately after, a disheveled figure appeared in everyone’s sight. It was an unkempt old man with messy hair and tattered clothes, but the pressure emanating from his entire body made people dare not underestimate him.
Taotie Douluo—Xuan Zi!
Dugu Yan’s eyes narrowed, and she secretly became vigilant. She had long known from the Holy Master that Xuan Zi was the strongest person on the surface of Shrek Academy, a Level 98 Super Douluo.
Although she possessed a 100,000-year Soul Ring and Dragon Transformation, enough to contend with Yan Shaozhe, and even overwhelm him! But facing an experienced strong person like Xuan Zi, she dared not be careless in the slightest.
“Are you the one who came to Shrek Academy to act wildly?”
Xuan Zi stared intently at Dugu Yan. He sensed danger; the woman in front of him was probably not as simple as she appeared!
Dugu Luo, seeing this, cautiously asked: “Mo Yan, did my mother make things a bit too big?”
“It is a bit big.” Mo Yan nodded in agreement, but her gaze was fixed on the giant tree within Shrek Academy: “But that old guy won’t be watching from the sidelines anymore.”
There’s a lot of luck this time, so let Sister Yan absorb some first.
And also divert the attention of a certain guy~
