Poaching Recruits at Shrek Academy's Gates (Part 2)

The young man with the Fire Wolf Martial Soul seemed unable to process what he had just heard. What had he heard?

Join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?

After swallowing hard, the youth finally reacted.

"Young Master, if what you say is true, I'm willing to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

Kong nodded.

Those who came to enroll at Shrek Academy were all twelve- or thirteen-year-old children. Their Soul Power Levels were almost all above level eighteen, and they were commoners.

Placed in any intermediate academy, this group would all be top-ranking geniuses!

After all, when the son of Notting City's lord graduated, his Soul Power Level had only been in the teens!

With proper training, these people would become the backbone of a faction in ten or twenty years!

Perhaps a Soul Douluo or even a Titled Douluo might emerge among them a few decades later.

Li Yusong was utterly dumbfounded!

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had come to poach recruits right outside Shrek Academy?

He wanted to say something, but the words would not come out. He hesitated, unable to speak.

There was no helping it. He could not afford to provoke them!

"Young Master, do you think my son can join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? He's twelve this year, his Martial Soul is the Battle Tiger, and he's a level twenty-one Soul Grandmaster!"

A parent hurriedly spoke to Kong, his face full of hope. This was an opportunity. If they seized it, soaring to greatness in the future was not impossible!

Kong nodded and said, "How about this? Anyone with a Soul Power Level above eighteen who is willing to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan as an Outer Sect Disciple may register with Elder Yu Yuanyuan."

The moment he finished speaking, Yu Yuanyuan's figure appeared out of thin air before the crowd.

For a Soul Master of his level, doing this was simplicity itself.

His entire body was currently dragonized, though he had no dragon wings. Those could only possibly be condensed after reaching the Titled Douluo level.

Eight soul rings hung around him—two yellow, two purple, and four black. Every one of them proclaimed his identity and strength!

"I am Yu Yuanyuan, an eighty-eighth-level Soul Douluo and an Inner Sect Elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

The moment Yu Yuanyuan appeared, he clasped his hands behind his back and addressed the crowd with an indifferent expression.

He was an expert at the Soul Douluo level. If he acted overly amiable, it would instead diminish his status.

Keeping a blank face and a detached demeanor, maintaining a certain sense of distance, was the proper way.

He had previously been level eighty-seven. After absorbing that soul bone, he had successfully broken through to level eighty-eight!

"Since the Young Sect Master is kind enough to give you an opportunity, those whose Soul Power Levels meet the requirements may register with me! You will only have one chance!"

After saying this, Yu Yuanyuan withdrew his Martial Soul and aura.

Kong must have had his reasons for doing this. As an elder, Yu Yuanyuan could have asked why, but he did not. He unconditionally trusted this Young Sect Master.

"Gulp..."

Everyone was stunned senseless.

An eighty-eighth-level Soul Douluo! Most of them had never even heard of an expert at such a level, much less seen one!

Xiao Wu, standing beside Tang San, was trembling all over!

A Soul Douluo? Why was there a Soul Douluo here?!

Those two people... could they have come here to hunt her down...

At that thought, Xiao Wu did not dare think further.

If she had been discovered yesterday, and they had come specifically to kill her today, the consequences would be unimaginable!

What should I do? What am I supposed to do?

Xiao Wu was frantic, yet she had no solution at all.

It was already too late to run. Besides, as merely a Soul Grandmaster, where could she possibly run to?

Ning Rongrong was also among the crowd. She had met Kong a few times. The first time had been in Heaven Dou City, where they had parted on bad terms.

Their second meeting had been at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, when Ning Fengzhi had brought her along to offer an apology...

She still remembered the way Ning Fengzhi looked at Kong. It was even more affectionate than the way he looked at his own daughter!

When did Dugu Yan and Yu Tiankong get together?

Ning Rongrong wondered in confusion.

She had seen Dugu Yan at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. She had heard Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and the others talking about Dugu Bo joining the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan...

They had also said something about the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan being unwilling to fall behind others, and about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's standing among the Upper Three Sects.

They're about six years apart, aren't they? Looking at Dugu Yan... honestly...

The corner of Ning Rongrong's eye twitched. She was merely gossiping and had no other thoughts.

It was simply a little strange to run into Kong and Dugu Yan here.

They really know how to have fun, coming right to someone else's academy gates to recruit people. When I get back, should I drag Sword Grandpa or Bone Grandpa to recruit people outside some academy too?

Ning Rongrong secretly thought it sounded rather interesting.

If it were Sword Douluo Chen Xin or Bone Douluo Gu Rong, they would probably be willing to indulge Ning Rongrong's nonsense.

But if Ning Fengzhi found out, he would likely go insane...

No matter how deep the grudge, there was no need to go that far!

As time passed, Yu Yuanyuan led away the children who had registered to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He planned to take them to Suotuo City, where the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's person in charge would send them on to the clan.

Naturally, background checks were unavoidable. What if some of them were spies from other factions?

After the group left, only Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing remained at the scene. Nearly every other child who had come to register had been taken away by Yu Yuanyuan.

Li Yusong: "..."

Reason with them through virtue? He did not dare!

Had he not seen that this Young Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had a Soul Douluo-level expert with him at all times?

Forget him—even if the headmaster and vice headmaster came, they would have to submit!

"Teacher, I didn't interrupt your recruitment, did I?"

Kong asked with complete sincerity.

Li Yusong: "..." This brat was truly damnable! He had really mastered the art of bullying others with his backing!

Dai Mubai, standing behind Li Yusong, glared furiously at Kong, but he did not dare say anything.

Dai Mubai failed to notice Zhu Zhuqing's contemptuous gaze.

Yesterday, Zhu Zhuqing had only just arrived in Suotuo City. As she passed the Rose Hotel, she had happened to witness everything from beginning to end.

That was also why she had seemed somewhat surprised when she saw Kong and Dugu Yan.

"N-No."

Li Yusong hurriedly waved his hands. The imposing air he had displayed while dealing with those children and parents was completely gone, making him look just like a kindly old grandfather.

"That's good. I do things entirely according to my preferences. If I've offended you in any way, please be understanding."

Kong smiled, looking exceptionally sincere.

A smiling tiger. This brat is definitely a smiling tiger! So young, yet so calculating. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is terrifying! No wonder such a massive clan made him their Young Sect Master!

Li Yusong thought to himself, though he did not dare say it aloud.

"Are you still registering..."
