The Rebirth of the Supreme King Dong'er

"After you fell unconscious, I examined you. It seemed that a faint ice-element power had weakened the strength and influence of your evil fire."

"And for an ice element to achieve that, it would have to be at least at Ling Luochen's level—perhaps even higher."

"I think your evil fire may yet be saved." Yan Shaozhe's eyes held deep meaning.

Ma Xiaotao thought back for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't remember much. I only remember fighting some rat that did nothing but dodge. Then something suddenly started shouting and screaming. I found it too annoying, so I unleashed my martial soul and sent it flying."

"After that... I felt terribly dizzy, like someone had hit me over the head. And then I woke up here."

Yan Shaozhe sighed. "Xiaotao, if your evil fire cannot be suppressed, then stop cultivating. This time, you nearly killed several freshmen from the outer courtyard."

"Since you do not wish to take male companions, Shrek Academy will certainly respect your wishes."

"I will find the source of that ice-element power capable of suppressing your evil fire, no matter the cost."

After hearing this, Ma Xiaotao's favorability nearly shot through the roof. She hurriedly said, "Teacher, I only thought I could control the outbreak of my evil fire. I never imagined I would hurt freshmen from the outer courtyard..."

"No matter what, you must put your cultivation on hold for now."

Book recommendation: "Douluo: Peerless Bone"

In the Douluo world, with a Douluo soul, I transmigrated here to fight the Sea God.

Transmigrating into Douluo naturally meant following the proper process, but where had my enormous Divine Realm and that enormous Tang San gone?

"Those freshmen you accidentally injured—I have already investigated their backgrounds. One of them is called Huo Yuhao. His talent is poor, and he only entered the academy through a special admission from the Tang Sect."

"Another is called Wang Dong'er. Her background is quite significant, but she has no connection to the ice element, so it should not have been her."

"The last one is called Xiao Xiao. She comes from a reclusive family, and her martial soul is likewise unrelated to the ice element."

"Perhaps some passerby helped out. At the time, Wang Dong'er was the only one conscious. I will find another opportunity to ask her about the details."

Ma Xiaotao was not surprised to hear that Yan Shaozhe had already investigated the three of them. Shrek Academy had no shortage of channels for gathering information. In fact, it even had ways to obtain intelligence from within the imperial palaces of the three great empires.

"But, Teacher, I can feel that my evil fire has already been suppressed by that ice-element power. It absolutely will not flare up again anytime soon. I can still cultivate."

"You... sigh." Yan Shaozhe shook his head. "If we can find the person who suppressed your evil fire, perhaps your evil fire can be resolved completely. And if that person happens to be male, the two of you could join together. Perhaps you could use him to completely eliminate the flaw in your martial soul..."

"Use him?" Ma Xiaotao looked at Yan Shaozhe in confusion.

"Cough, cough. What I mean is, the two of you could both benefit. Hehe." Yan Shaozhe chuckled, sidestepping Ma Xiaotao's question. "In any case, Xiaotao, there is no need to worry. Your future is something the academy cares deeply about. The academy will surely spare no effort in resolving this hidden danger of yours."

If they truly could not find the person who wielded that ice element, then once Ma Xiaotao's evil fire flared up again, he could simply tie up a few men and leave them in this secret chamber, making the deed a fait accompli...

"After all, it is for Xiaotao's future. Surely Xiaotao will understand my painstaking intentions..." Yan Shaozhe thought, without revealing a trace of it on his face.

Nighttime, freshmen dormitory.

Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao tightly shut the doors and windows.

In a moment, Xiao Xiao would begin absorbing that fifty-thousand-year head soul bone.

Meanwhile, Wang Dong'er planned to first use the two rewards, "Luck Suppression" and "Blessed by Luck."

The fusion of "Child of Light" might produce some unusual changes, just like "Extreme Ice" had. Wang Dong'er planned to fuse the other two rewards first.

The two sat cross-legged on their beds and exchanged a glance. Xiao Xiao took out the leather pouch containing the soul bone and removed it.

This head soul bone was unexpectedly bronze in color, emitting faint Soul Power fluctuations and carrying a hint of profound heaviness.

The next moment, Xiao Xiao activated her Soul Power, enveloping the soul bone and slowly drawing it before her eyes.

After only a moment's hesitation, the bronze soul bone immediately merged into Xiao Xiao's forehead.

Seeing Xiao Xiao begin to fuse with the soul bone, Wang Dong'er stopped paying attention to her. Instead, she inspected the system panel and directly used the rewards for "Blessed by Luck" and "Luck Suppression."

The next moment, Wang Dong'er felt as if her soul had left its shell and soared beyond the heavens, drifting farther and farther away until it reached the vault of the sky.

She "saw" the incomparably lush Star Dou Forest, "saw" the bustling Shrek City, and saw countless illusory streams of mist rising into the sky.

"So this is luck?" Wang Dong'er murmured.

These illusory misty streams had no color. They all looked exactly the same, making it impossible to distinguish whether they were strong or weak.

However, after allowing Wang Dong'er only a glimpse, all that luck vanished without a trace.

"Would it kill you to let me look a little longer? So stingy."

Not only did the luck mist disappear, but Wang Dong'er's seemingly disembodied soul also returned to her body.

The instant she opened her eyes, a faint golden glint flashed through Wang Dong'er's pink-blue pupils.

Blessed by Luck. Although she still could not be called a Child of Destiny like Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er was now considered connected to Douluo Star.

During that brief period when her "soul left her body," she seemed to sense Douluo Star's will choking back sobs, weeping, and letting out faint wails as though it were being gnawed upon by vermin.

It was truly... rather terrifying.

For an instant, Wang Dong'er had nearly thought she had activated some kind of spiritual sight.

She raised her head to look at Xiao Xiao. At the moment, Xiao Xiao was still fusing with the soul bone. Her expression was calm, and the process appeared to be going smoothly.

She wondered what kind of soul skill Xiao Xiao would ultimately obtain.

"Next, only Child of Light remains." Wang Dong'er pondered inwardly. Extreme Ice had left her body freezing cold, and her will seemed to have undergone some sort of trial as well. So what would happen when she fused with Child of Light?

"Whatever, fuse!"

A faint golden glow lit up, and Wang Dong'er's skin began to turn crystalline, as though one could see straight through the surface into what lay beneath.

Not only that, Wang Dong'er felt as if a blazing sun were slowly rising within her chest, radiating endless light and heat throughout every part of her body.

If Xiao Xiao had opened her eyes at that moment, she would have seen that Wang Dong'er was already shrouded in golden light, impossible to make out clearly.

Sea God Lake, Sea God Pavilion.

The wooden rocking chair, which had been gently swaying, suddenly came to a stop. Mu En, reclining upon it, sat up with a sharp gaze and looked around.

"Strange. There seems to be an aura of light. Could it be that child Bei Bei has finally evolved?"

"No, if it were that child Bei Bei, I should be able to sense it more clearly." Mu En made his judgment internally, though a trace of puzzlement appeared on his face.

Logically speaking, he was the strongest person in Shrek Academy, a dignified Rank 99 Limit Douluo. Even if his body was crippled, his Spiritual Power remained. He should not have been unable to identify the direction of this newly born aura of light.

Yet no matter how he sensed it, the aura of light seemed to come from every direction at once, making it impossible to distinguish.

If he borrowed the Golden Tree's power, he should be able to sense it more clearly.

But after all, the Golden Tree had been personally transplanted by Sea God Tang San and was one of the core elements of a plan spanning ten thousand years. Unless Shrek Academy was on the verge of destruction, it was best not to use the Golden Tree's power if possible.

"Never mind. It is merely a newly born aura of light. Sooner or later, it will receive the Sea God's teachings." Mu En murmured as he settled back into the rocking chair.

"I hope that child Bei Bei can complete his evolution soon as well. I wonder whether the Tang Sect's records will be of any help..."

Mu En slowly closed his eyes and sank back into stillness.

At the same time, in the woods beside Sea God Lake.

Huo Yuhao stared at the Mysterious Water Pill and Soul Ascension Pill in his hand, listening to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's noisy shouting in his mind, and could not help but lapse into a daze.

Just as Wang Dong'er had said, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm might raise his future potential, but right now, it was the things Wang Dong'er had given him that were helping him grow stronger faster.

Thinking of the Duchess's hateful face, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and swallowed the Mysterious Water Pill.

Inner Inspection, New Abilities, and Xiao Xiao's Soul Bone Skill

"This light power... a Child of Light? How could she be a Child of Light?"

While Wang Dong'er was still fusing with the Child of Light, Electrolux had already awakened within the golden little hammer placed beside her because of this aura of light.

Having once been a Child of Light himself, Electrolux did not need to sense much to know that Wang Dong'er possessed the physique of a Child of Light.

"I never thought that, one day, I would see something familiar again."

"However... in that case, I can rest assured and pass my Undead Magic on to her." Feeling the aura of light emanating from Wang Dong'er, Electrolux came to a decision.

Originally, Electrolux had only intended to exchange generous compensation for the restoration of his divine consciousness. But now, he had decided to pass on his entire legacy to Wang Dong'er.

A Child of Light alone was enough to prove many things.

Wang Dong'er did not know that Electrolux's thoughts had changed. At that moment, she only felt warm all over, as though she were being bathed in the winter sun.

Only after quite some time did the golden light around Wang Dong'er gradually fade and disappear.

"So the aura of light can be drawn inward... She is even stronger than I was back then." Electrolux sighed.

"Mmm..." Wang Dong'er slowly opened her eyes. Xiao Xiao was still absorbing the soul bone, and Wang Dong'er did not know what exactly was happening. But Xiao Xiao's aura was steady, without any unusual changes, so she should be fine.

As for herself, Wang Dong'er was surprised to discover that she seemed capable of something akin to "inner inspection."

However, Wang Dong'er could tell that this was not a special ability brought about by the Child of Light.

She opened the system panel. The information had not changed much, but there was an additional line.

Beneath the soul bone section, a brand-new entry had appeared.

Ability: Luck Suppression, Blessed by Luck

This showed that these two abilities existed independently of her martial soul.

With a thought from Wang Dong'er, she quickly understood the effects of both abilities.

Blessed by Luck was undoubtedly just what its name implied, though its effects were not something that could be immediately and clearly felt.

Luck Suppression, meanwhile, could temporarily suppress the luck of a designated target, causing them to suffer misfortune during that time.

However, Wang Dong'er and the target both had to be within a certain range for it to be used. Furthermore, it could only be used once a month at most. The higher the target's cultivation and the stronger their luck, the weaker the effect they would suffer.

Though it came with some restrictions, and the duration was probably quite short, it was still an extra method. It might come in handy in an emergency someday.

Wang Dong'er could not help glancing at Xiao Xiao.

True love! The very first triggered mission had given her such a powerful conceptual ability.

Normally, Wang Dong'er would not have much use for a move like this. But if she encountered a life-or-death crisis, this ability could be called a divine skill, greatly increasing her chances of survival.

Tomorrow, I'll throw a Luck Suppression at whoever annoys me and see what happens.

After checking her new abilities, there was movement on Xiao Xiao's side as well.

Wang Dong'er looked up and saw a mass of black light flickering at Xiao Xiao's brow. Anyone who saw it would say, "I see darkness between your brows."

But Xiao Xiao's expression was peaceful, and her Soul Power fluctuations were extremely steady. They even showed signs of steadily rising. It seemed she was about to fuse perfectly with the soul bone.

Before long, the black light at Xiao Xiao's brow slowly dissipated, and Xiao Xiao opened her eyes, which were filled with delight.

Seeing Wang Dong'er looking her way, Xiao Xiao approached with a beaming smile. "Dong'er, guess what kind of soul skill I got?"

Wang Dong'er shook her head. How could she possibly guess that?

"Hehe, I don't know what soul beast this head soul bone came from, but the soul skill it gave me is unbelievably compatible with my Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron!" Xiao Xiao said proudly. "I won't keep you guessing. My soul bone skill is called the Nine Cauldrons Sealing Origin Array!"

"My Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron could already split into three, but the Nine Cauldrons Sealing Origin Array can split each of my three Soul Suppressing Cauldrons into three again, making a total of nine Soul Suppressing Cauldrons. Then it forms a sealing array that traps all enemies within its range, preventing them from escaping and restraining their movements for up to three seconds."

"Most importantly, after setting up the array, I can still move and use soul skills that don't interfere with it. It just consumes more Soul Power. I'm almost starting to suspect that I absorbed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone instead of a ten-thousand-year one!"

Xiao Xiao had every reason to be excited. The soul skill she had obtained was a top-tier battlefield control skill. It also came without debuffs such as being unable to move or use other soul skills. Though its movement restraint duration was somewhat short, at most three seconds, even a single second of restraint was enough to accomplish many things.

What excited Xiao Xiao most, however, was that with this soul skill, she would be able to help Wang Dong'er much more in battle.

Being forced to flee alone by that blood-red figure beside Sea God Lake was a wound Xiao Xiao could never move past.

"This is pretty good!" After hearing Xiao Xiao's explanation, Wang Dong'er's eyes lit up as well.

Xiao Xiao was not very powerful yet, so this soul skill could only be said to be highly useful in matches.

But if Xiao Xiao one day became a Titled Douluo, its usefulness would increase tremendously.

"But how large is the range of this soul skill? Can it expand further in the future?" Wang Dong'er asked the most crucial question.

If it could continuously evolve like Huo Yuhao's Mental Detection, then it truly would be a godly skill. Even if it could not evolve, though, it would still be immensely useful as long as its range was not too small.

"I won't know until I test it," Xiao Xiao said. "Let's try it tomorrow."

"Oh, right, Dong'er. After absorbing this soul bone, my Soul Power has already reached level nineteen. If I absorb that Soul Ascension Pill too, I'll meet the requirements to absorb my second soul ring. I want..." Xiao Xiao lowered her head, not allowing Wang Dong'er to see her flushed face clearly. "I want to ask you to go with me..."

"Sure!" Though she found Xiao Xiao's behavior somewhat strange, Wang Dong'er readily agreed.

Perfect. There was no need to randomly pick some unlucky person anymore. She could simply test this new ability, "Luck Suppression," during Soul Hunting.

Since it had not said that it only worked on humans, then soul beasts should... be affected too, right?
