Arrival in Mingdu

Shrek is about to go to war with the Clear Sky Sect.

The three great empires of Tianhun, Douling, and Star Luo Empire each dispatched a Titled Douluo to lend their assistance.

While ostensibly providing assistance, in reality, they were simply observing closely, gathering firsthand information, and then relaying it to their back-end.

If a real fight breaks out, they'll only go through the motions.

Mu En was aware of this, but he did not refuse the assistance from various countries.

After all, as long as they do their job well and honestly spread what they have seen and heard today, that is enough!

I've come today for two reasons: first, to investigate; and second, to make a name for myself.

Mu En didn't bring many people with him; there were only two true Shrek Academy members: Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, and Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Soul Tool Department.

The Clear Sky Sect is a sect that has been in seclusion for countless years.

If he hadn't chosen to emerge from the world, Mu En might not have been able to find the entrance to this 'hidden place in the clouds'.

At the foot of the mountain, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape had been waiting for a long time.

Looking at the dozens of Titled Douluo in front of him, Da Ming gritted his teeth and took two steps forward.

"Sea God Pavilion, have we really come to this?"

"Big brother, stop talking nonsense!" Er Ming's mind went blank, his eyes filled only with fighting spirit.

"Heh." Mu En shook his head and chuckled. Before he could even speak, the other party had already handed him the banner of righteousness.

"Don't worry." Mu En smiled, but his aura was steadily rising. "I didn't come here today to kill you."

"On this journey, I received a divine message from Sea God, who, out of consideration for our past relationship, forbade me to kill him."

"But, if you destroy Shrek, you'll inevitably get a beating and have most of the Clear Sky Sect's mountain gate destroyed by me."

The moment the oracle of the Sea God was spoken, everyone's expression changed.

"You mean you can kill us brothers so easily?!" Er Ming gasped for breath, his fighting spirit meeting Mu En's pressure head-on.

However, compared to the overwhelming pressure of the King’s Arrival, the Titan Giant Ape's fighting spirit was like a small boat teetering on the sea.

"Sea God Pavilion Master, do you insist on war?"

"Heh." A golden dragon phantom appeared behind Mu En. "Sea God Pavilion, Mu En, Level 99 Limit Douluo, please enlighten me."

[Great Sage Equal to Heaven: Are there any capable group members who can watch the battle up close?]

[Du Busi: Actually, I'm quite interested, but considering my negligible strength, I'd better not get involved.]

[The Great Sage Equal to Heaven: What do you think of Xiao Qi?]

Wang Dong'er understood that this Great Sage Equal to Heaven was like a stubborn plaster, sticking to people and being very annoying. But as long as you ignored him, he would gradually calm down on his own.

[Great Sage Equal to Heaven: Speaking of which, isn't the monthly current Current Affairs Review coming up soon?]

[The Great Sage Equal to Heaven: If someone's ignoring me, how about we change the subject? Rather than asking who Wang Dong'er is, I'm more interested in what Shen Yichen's Martial Soul is? And why was he able to destroy the Divine Realm?]

Shen Yichen's mention of the topic immediately attracted the attention of everyone else.

[Xiao Qi: You...]

[Little Noble: Your Excellency, by revealing Shrek's trump card, aren't you afraid of becoming Shrek enemy?]

[Little Nobody: Great Sage Equal to Heaven, I'll remember you.]

Shen Yichen: "..."

They were still on their way, and although the speed of their Flying Soul Tool was not slow, Heaven Dou City was not close to Mingdu.

Even with the support of advanced Flying Soul Tools, it would still take one or two days to fly.

After all, Jing Hongchen was only a Titled Douluo, and his Soul Power couldn't guarantee a safe journey back to Mingdu.

To be honest, Jing Hongchen's Flying Soul Tool is really cool.

A pair of cool golden wings, like premium equipment in a game, can create a light screen that envelops everyone when flapping its wings. Under the light screen, the wings can expand a thousandfold.

Being inside feels like being on an airplane; through a thin, translucent membrane, you can clearly see the scenery on the horizon.

From a global perspective, these wings of light are even more dazzling.

Soul Tools, I need to learn that...

Don't let its lack of practical use in combat fool you... isn't its sheer coolness enough?

Strength is temporary, but handsomeness lasts a lifetime!

That is...

Such a handsome pair of wings, stuck on the body of Jing Hongchen, this fat old man, makes him look several levels less classy.

Seeing the longing for the Soul Tool in Shen Yichen's eyes, Jing Hongchen was first filled with pride and arrogance, but then became nervous.

"Do you like Soul Tools? If so, let Xiao make one for you."

Xiao Hongchen: "???"

Grandpa, am I your biological child?

Shen Yichen was also taken aback when he heard this, "Xiao Hongchen will do it for me?"

"No? Then I'll do it for you. You should focus on your cultivation and not waste your time on these useless things."

The contestants from the Sun Moon Empire: "..."

Grandpa, what are you saying?!

Soul Tools? Are they useless?

Jing Hongchen sneered, "Alright, alright, you just focus on making the Soul Tool for Yichen, and you'll get your share of the benefits."

Jing Hongchen was genuinely worried that Shen Yichen would focus his energy on learning how to use Soul Tool and neglect his cultivation.

You must understand, Shen Yichen was his trump card in his rebellion against the God King. He was also the benefactor who could elevate the entire Hongchen Family to immortality!

"Uh, okay then." Shen Yichen raised an eyebrow at Xiao Hongchen. "Hey~ kid, from now on you're my little brother."

Xiao Hongchen: "..."

Fight? We can't win!

Try arguing? You can't win an argument!

Not only was Meng on his side, but even his grandfather was on his side.

The group laughed and chatted as they walked, making the contestants from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy seem like outsiders.

By the time we arrived in the capital, it was already late.

It is precisely at night that the impact is all the more intense.

The style of Mingdu is completely different from that of Heaven Dou City and Shrek City.

At a glance, one sees a vast expanse of buildings. Skyscrapers and stone-paved streets form the framework of Mingdu, while neon lights and Mingdu household lights constitute its flesh and blood.

Welcome to Mingdu.

Xiao Hongchen watched their expressions closely, preparing to laugh at their shocked expressions, like country bumpkins entering the city.

Zhang Lexuan's face remained expressionless; this was not her first time visiting Mingdu.

For the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, neither Mingdu nor Heaven Dou City mattered. Neither was as comfortable and carefree as her Ice Palace.

The only consolation for Xiao Hongchen was Di Qiu'er's polite "Oh!"

Shen Yichen clicked his tongue twice. This is Mingdu?

Calling it a third- or fourth-tier city is a bit arrogant, but it's still quite a bit inferior to second-tier cities.

Jing Hongchen landed with the group. "You guys go to the academy to rest first. Xiao and Meng, you two arrange dormitories for the Shrek exchange students."

"I will first go to the palace to report the situation to His Majesty. We will discuss and reward those who have contributed tomorrow at dawn..."

They brought four Shrek geniuses without a word; they had to give the royal family an explanation.

Before Shen Yichen matures, Jing Hongchen doesn't want to break ties with the royal family.
