The Lord of the God Realm's Blessing, Bringing Xiao Wu Back to Shrek!

The forum suddenly refreshed with a mission prompt!

Chen Xun, Dugu Bo, and Tang Chen all perked up, opening the mission list at the same time.

Main Mission: In one month, kill the two overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest—the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape!

Mission Reward: Contribution Points ??? (determined based on combat performance)

Hidden Mission: Kill the rampaging ancient beast!

Mission Reward: A personal blessing from the Lord of the God Realm

For the few people currently in the group, completing such missions would not be difficult.

And that was precisely the effect Chen Luo wanted.

His purpose in issuing the missions had never been to let them complete them smoothly.

He wanted to use the mission rewards to provoke them into competing against one another!

When the time came, Chen Luo would only need to spread the news and draw the major forces across the continent to the Star Dou Great Forest. Then, he could sit back and watch an unparalleled battle unfold.

As for the hidden mission, it was merely an Easter egg Chen Luo had planted for these "workers."

He planned to summon an ancient beast while they carried out the main mission.

Not only would it add more variables, but it would also let him harvest another wave of Shock Value.

Moreover, Chen Luo had long discovered that—

The stronger the person who was shocked, the more Shock Value they provided.

And those who came to watch would surely be the leaders of various factions and powerful Titled Douluo...

Tsk, tsk.

By then, the Star Dou Great Forest would become his paradise for harvesting shock.

Just thinking about it felt amazing!

When the others in the group saw the newly refreshed missions, their hearts first burned with excitement.

But soon, a practical problem surfaced.

Including the hidden mission, there were only two missions in total, yet there were four people in the group.

How were they supposed to divide them?

Chen Xun was the first to break the silence.

Apprentice Yearning for the Way of the Sword: Fellow Daoists, I presume you have all seen the new missions. What are your plans?

Never Stop Here: Naturally, we each rely on our own abilities. Contribution Points are certainly nice, but I care more about the hidden mission's reward.

Tang Chen's words voiced the thoughts of the other two as well.

Completing the hidden mission would earn them a personal blessing from the Realm Master!

The Realm Master's strength was unfathomable. He had opened the God Domain with his own power. His blessing was likely something even the treasures in the Myriad Worlds Mall could not compare to.

More importantly—

It was an honor, a supreme honor.

Even if it was only an empty title, it was still worth fighting for with all their strength.

So Handsome They Chop Me: I happen to be tied up with some trivial matters in a month. I will not compete with you all for this mission.

Apprentice Yearning for the Way of the Sword: Senior, have you been so busy lately? You yielded the last mission to me as well.

Chen Xun, seated before the screen, frowned slightly.

He had met Chen Luo several times, yet he had never sensed even the slightest aura from him. He seemed no different from an ordinary person.

But the senior's bearing and insight were clearly beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Moreover, this senior seemed overly indifferent to fame and profit, as if nothing in the world could stir his interest.

Clearly, the trivial matters the senior spoke of were only an excuse.

He simply did not wish to get involved.

Watching the others in the group state their positions one after another, Dugu Bo fell silent.

Judging from Apprentice Fellow Daoist's words, the other party was at least a level ninety-eight Titled Douluo.

Otherwise, how could he dare claim he would fight Tang Chen, a level ninety-nine expert?

As for Never Stop Here, although he had not revealed his strength, his words carried an extraordinary air. He was likely no weaker than the former.

Compared to them, he himself was perhaps the weakest among the three.

After pondering for a long time, Dugu Bo finally slowly typed into the chat box:

The Target Isn't Poison God: Then let us do as Fellow Daoist Never Stop Here says and each rely on our own abilities. However, I hope everyone will value harmony and not hurt our goodwill over the missions.

After all, this was the original intent behind the Realm Master's creation of the God Domain.

So Handsome They Chop Me: Agreed!

Never Stop Here: Agreed +1

Apprentice Yearning for the Way of the Sword: Agreed +1

After leaving the group chat, Dugu Bo turned to look at the mist-shrouded Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well beside him.

Although he had already sold some immortal herbs, rare treasures still covered the area around the spring.

These had originally been reserves he had set aside to break into the God Realm...

But the hidden mission's reward was simply too irresistible.

"If I sell all the remaining immortal herbs... the Contribution Points I gain should be enough to help me break through to level ninety-nine, right?"

He muttered softly, struggle flashing through his eyes.

A moment later,

Dugu Bo suddenly gritted his teeth.

"To hell with it! I'm selling them!"

For the Realm Master's blessing, he was going all out this time!

While these major events were brewing.

Elsewhere, Ning Rongrong, carrying Xiao Wu's body, had already returned to Heaven Dou City.

Heaven Dou City, Blue Tyrant Academy.

"This is outrageous, Boss Flender! From now on, this place is yours. Just rename Blue Tyrant Academy to Shrek Academy. You can be the dean, and I'll be the vice dean!"

Liu Erlong slapped the table and decisively handed Blue Tyrant Academy over to Flender.

"Ah... Erlong, this..."

This sudden turn of events left even Flender at a loss.

After all these years,

Erlong was still as bold and uninhibited as ever.

As expected of my goddess!

However, the atmosphere in the room was far from harmonious.

Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun were all seated on the sofa, their heads lowered in silent gloom.

Their companion, Xiao Wu, had been taken away by Dugu Bo several days ago.

There had not been a single word of news since.

Tang San had not even slept these past few days. Xiao Wu's image filled his mind.

Suddenly,

Tang San shot up from the sofa, and everyone in the room turned their eyes toward him.

"Teacher, I have to go find Xiao Wu!"

An anxious expression appeared on Tang San's face.

But Yu Xiaogang sternly rebuked him:

"Little San, I understand how you feel about Xiao Wu."

"But this is not something that can be resolved through mere impulse!"

"That is a Titled Douluo. Even if you find Xiao Wu, what can you do?"

Yu Xiaogang's words reached Tang San's ears.

Tang San's eyes went blank, and his clenched fingertips dug into his flesh.

How could he not understand that?

But he did not want Xiao Wu to face all this alone.

Looking at the silent Tang San with his head lowered, Yu Xiaogang placed a hand on his shoulder and slowly comforted him:

"Wait and see for now. Rongrong has taken her father to find Dugu Bo. Their chances of success are far greater than yours alone."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is the second greatest sect in the world. I doubt Dugu Bo would refuse to give them that respect."

Just then,

Zhao Wuji suddenly pushed open the door, with a figure standing behind him.

It was Ning Rongrong.

"Everyone... Rongrong is back..."

Zhao Wuji's voice was low, and there was a trace of sorrow deep in his eyes.

The instant Tang San saw Ning Rongrong, he rushed to her side, his voice trembling with emotion.

"Rongrong, did you bring Xiao Wu back?"

"Where is she now?!"

Seeing the agitated Tang San before her, Ning Rongrong could not bear to look at him and turned her head to the side.

She slowly brought the hands hidden behind her back forward.

There,

A snow-white rabbit lay quietly in Ning Rongrong's arms.

At that moment,

Tang San's mind went dizzy, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"No!"

"My Xiao Wu!!!!"
