The Star Luo Emperor's Stance, Flender's Successful Breakthrough

Star Luo City, Imperial Palace.

Upon hearing Netherworld Duke's words, Star Luo Emperor's eyes flickered, but his dignified face betrayed no extra emotion.

"I am aware of this matter. You don't need to interfere in the rest. The younger generation has their own path to walk. Weren't we the same back then?" The Star Luo Emperor's voice rang out calmly.

Netherworld Duke nodded. "Your Majesty, I understand. Everything will be done as Your Majesty wishes."

Then the emperor waved his hand, and after watching the Netherworld Duke retreat unhurriedly, the emperor beckoned into the darkness.

A middle-aged man dressed in a black bodysuit emerged from the shadows and knelt before the emperor.

"His Your Majesty."

The emperor glanced in the direction of Dai Mubai's former palace, then said indifferently, "Go to the Shrek Academy again. Although Mu Bai has left, he is still a member of the royal family. Don't disgrace the royal family."

"Your subject understands," the middle-aged man replied, then disappeared back into the darkness.

An unnamed forest, beside a stream.

Although Oscar's cooking skills were not as good as Chef Shao Xin's, the fish he grilled was still delicious and visually appealing, making Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's mouths water.

While eating grilled fish, Oscar said to Zhu Zhuqing, "This sudden departure from Star Luo City may have been a bit rushed for you, but this is the Imperial City after all. In urgent situations, we must act expediently. If you need anything in the future, feel free to let me know."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded upon hearing this. "Thank you, Senior Student. I'm already very grateful to have escaped from that place."

Clearly, Zhu Zhuqing had long harbored the idea of leaving the Imperial City, and the fact that Dai Nuan was able to return and take her away was undoubtedly the biggest surprise for her.

Dai Mubai gently patted Zhu Zhuqing's small hand. "Zhuqing, from now on, I will never leave you alone again. No matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, I will stand in front of you without hesitation."

Hearing Dai Mubai suddenly speak, his handsome face filled with genuine emotion, Zhu Zhuqing was deeply moved.

Zhu Zhuqing grasped Dai Mubai's large hand in return. "Yes, no matter what dangers we encounter in the future, I will face them with you."

Seeing the two suddenly become affectionate, Oscar's expression changed slightly. "Ahem, although... you two are a couple, there are still two outsiders here. If you want to be affectionate, wait until we're alone."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji chuckled and said it didn't matter, after all, he was already around fifty years old.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing quickly released each other's hands, their faces flushing red, as they each continued to gnaw on their grilled fish...

Oscar chuckled at the sight. The young man was too easily embarrassed. If it were him and Dugu Yan, and someone dared to say that, they'd definitely kiss them right there in front of them...

The Star Luo Emperor had already spoken, so no one came after Zhao Wuji and his group. Half a month later, Zhao Wuji, along with Oscar and the other two, successfully returned to the Shrek Academy.

Five days prior, Shrek Academy had already been approached by people, but at that time, Flender, Zhao Wuji, Gai Yue, and other powerful figures were not present; Lu Qibin and Li Yusong were the ones who received them.

The visitor was a Soul Douluo expert from the Star Luo Empire. He stated his purpose directly, then donated funds to the academy, explained some matters concerning Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, and then left.

It could be said that the other party acted with absolute efficiency. Lu Qibin looked at the Gold Soul Card with 100,000 Gold Soul Coin in his hand and smiled helplessly.

Shrek Academy is no longer short of money. With Shao Xin, a money-making machine, the 100,000 Gold Soul Coin are practically negligible.

However, since the other party is willing to sponsor Shrek, Dean Flender will probably not refuse when he returns and learns of this.

After all, they were very generous in their training of Dai Mubai, even giving him a treasure like Whale Rubber for free.

When Zhao Wuji returned and heard about this, he had more respect for the power behind Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

Although Dai Mubai's description of the cruelty of the family struggles sounded inhumane, the actions of the elders were fair enough, giving the children a chance to grow and control their own destiny.

Back at the academy, Dai Mubai introduced Zhu Zhuqing to Dugu Yan and Ma Hongjun. Although Zhu Zhuqing now had a somewhat aloof and mature demeanor, her mood eased considerably after seeing Dugu Yan.

After all, although Shrek Academy doesn't have many students and teachers, they are all boys. Now that there is a girl here, Zhu Zhuqing is naturally happy.

When Zhu Zhuqing learned that Dugu Yan Oscar's girlfriend was very talented, she felt even more motivated. After all, the pressure she and Dai Mubai were facing was beyond what most people could understand.

Dugu Yan had heard about Dai Mubai's relationship with Zhu Zhuqing before, so Dugu Yan was very friendly to Zhu Zhuqing, and the two even stayed in the same room.

Before meeting Oscar, Dugu Yan had practically no friends, and now that she had Zhu Zhuqing, she was very happy.

Although Zhu Zhuqing was still a little shy, she agreed to live with Dugu Yan, since the two girls could take care of each other that way.

However, this made Oscar and Dai Mubai a little uncomfortable, because if Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing lived together, they would have to consider each other's girlfriends if they wanted to spend time alone with their own girlfriends.

After the Zhu Zhuqing incident, Oscar returned to his original cultivation state, leading them in cultivation and study every day.

After anxiously learning about Oscar's schedule and hard work, Zhu Zhuqing gained a deep understanding of Oscar and also understood why Dai Mubai admired Oscar so much.

However, this suited her just fine. After all, Zhu Zhuqing was a hardworking and diligent person. Now that she had come to the Shrek Academy, she could not only make progress together with Dai Mubai, but also have a good older brother to guide her. She felt that if she had come here earlier, she might have improved even more.

Oscar was also very generous to Zhu Zhuqing, diligently guiding her in her cultivation and helping her improve. Dai Mubai felt even more grateful to Oscar for this.

Furthermore, Oscar knew that Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul had a very high degree of compatibility. As long as the two had enough tacit understanding, it was a sure thing that they would cultivate a martial soul Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Therefore, Oscar also intended to train the two of them to cultivate Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Although Oscar himself had no experience in cultivating Martial Soul Fusion Skill, it wasn't exactly a secret. Oscar had previously studied books on how to cultivate Martial Soul Fusion Skill, so teaching the two of them to do so was no problem.

Without going into too much detail, Oscar is at least no worse than that so-called Grandmaster. In fact, because Oscar is a time traveler, he has a deeper understanding of these cultivation methods and his teaching methods are more avant-garde and advanced.

Zhu Zhuqing is currently level 22. Her first two Soul Skills are the amplification skill Hell Stab and the attack Soul Skill Netherworld Hundred Claws. Zhu Zhuqing's speed is quite outstanding among Agile Attack System- type soul masters. Although her attack power is not as good as that of Assault System Spirit Master, it is enough for her to assassinate as Agile Attack System.

And there's one thing that really left Oscar speechless: the role and function of Agile Attack System Soul Master on the competition stage.

In a real battlefield, Agile Attack System Soul Master are definitely a very difficult opponent, because you don't know where they are hiding, where they will attack from, or when they will attack.

However, Agile Attack System Soul Master are somewhat awkward on the competition stage. Their attack power is not as good as that of Assault System, and their defense is only slightly better than that of Support System, although they have an absolute advantage in speed.

However, matches on the competition stage involve at least seven people, making it virtually impossible to launch a sneak attack. Therefore, the Agile Attack System is primarily suited for assassination and intelligence gathering, making it somewhat useless on the competition stage.

After all, the playing area is only so big, so it's practically impossible to hide and not be discovered by the opponent and then launch a sneak attack.

However, despite this, Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai still possess Martial Soul Fusion Skill. If the two can master the Martial Soul Fusion Skill in the future, they can achieve a synergy greater than the sum of its parts, which can be considered as making up for Zhu Zhuqing's disadvantage on the competition stage.

Therefore, Oscar is not too worried about this; all he needs to do now is teach them how to cultivate.

Two months later, Oscar's Soul Power Level officially broke through to level 39, only one level away from level 40. Moreover, with Oscar's current cultivation speed, he could break through to level 40 in less than four months and then obtain a Fourth Spirit Ring to advance to Soul Ancestor.

Dugu Yan, Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing also increased their Soul Power by one level. Now Dugu Yan and Ma Hongjun are both at level 37, but Dugu Yan has reached the peak of level 37, while Ma Hongjun is only at the middle of level 37.

Dai Mubai at level 33, Zhu Zhuqing is at level 23. Their Soul Power differs by exactly ten levels.

Now, there is only a year and a half left before Tang San and his companions arrive in the original story, which is enough time for them to make a huge improvement.

Besides the improvement of Oscar and his group of students, Flender has also successfully obtained his Eighth Spirit Ring, becoming the second Soul Douluo powerhouse in the Shrek Academy.

When Flender returned, he was beaming with pride. After all, becoming Soul Douluo meant that he had officially entered the top tier of the continent.

After all, although Titled Douluo is the pinnacle of Soul Master, there are too few Titled Douluo, while Soul Douluo are the main strongmen on the continent today.

After all, beings at the level of Titled Douluo are almost impossible to find on the continent anymore. They are either in seclusion breaking through to a higher level or have joined a major power to retire.

Only those at the Soul Douluo level are the most active on the continent, thus becoming the main high-level force.

The first thing Gai Yue did after returning was to test Oscar. However, Oscar did not disappoint his teacher. Even without Gai Yue's supervision, Oscar would always remind himself not to stop and would always keep improving.

With Zhu Zhuqing joining, Shrek Academy has become even more prosperous. Although the number of students still does not exceed the number of teachers, it is a good start.

Moreover, Flender was overjoyed when he learned that Dai Mubai's family had sent him 100,000 Gold Soul Coin. He had just obtained his Eighth Spirit Ring and advanced to Soul Douluo, and someone had come to give him money, a full 100,000 Gold Soul Coin. This was like double happiness for Flender.

If he relied on his little Soul Master shop, he might never earn 100,000 Gold Soul Coin in his lifetime...

Speaking of Flender's Soul Master Shop, Oscar would visit it every now and then. After all, in the original novel, Tang San used two hundred Gold Soul Coin to find a Dragon Whisker Needle worth ten thousand or even one hundred thousand gold coins from Flender.

However, Oscar's luck seemed to be poor; he didn't find any valuable treasures in Flender's shop, let alone the Dragon Whisker Needle, which could penetrate Soul Power defenses.

Of course, while the Dragon Whisker Needle is impressive, it's not actually that impressive. The reason it was able to penetrate Zhao Wuji's defense in the original story was because Zhao Wuji wasn't using his full strength.

Otherwise, Tang San, at level 29, wouldn't have been able to break Zhao Wuji's defense with just a single Dragon Whisker Needle; otherwise, Soul Saint would be far too weak.

However, Oscar didn't find the Dragon Whisker Needle in Flender's little shop. Of course, it's also possible that because he changed some of the economic circumstances in the original Shrek stories, Flender didn't have much interest in running his shop, which could be part of the reason.

After Flender acquired his Eighth Spirit Ring, Zhao Wuji trained even harder. After all, his boss had already broken through to the Soul Douluo, and he, Old Zhao, was not willing to fall behind.

Meanwhile, the teachers and students of the Shrek Academy were working hard to cultivate. After several months of effort and developing tacit understanding, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing finally mastered their own Martial Soul Fusion Skill - Hell White Tiger.

With the help of the Hell White Tiger, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, one a beginner Soul Elder and the other a beginner Soul Grandmaster, were able to unleash combat power comparable to Soul Ancestor.

If Dai Mubai were to face Oscar now, and he could use the Hell White Tiger technique with Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar wouldn't be able to knock him unconscious with a single punch.

It should at least last for a few minutes, allowing Oscar to expend some of his Soul Power.

Moreover, not to mention Oscar, even Ma Hongjun at level 37 could defeat Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's Hell White Tiger head-on.

Although their Martial Soul Fusion Skill is powerful, it is still newly developed, and there are still considerable flaws in its coordination.

Moreover, neither of them had a high Soul Power Level. Dai Mubai might be okay, since he was already at level 33, but Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power Level was still too low. At only level 23, she was completely unable to unleash the power of the Hell White Tiger.

Moreover, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing themselves knew that in order to truly unleash the power of the Hell White Tiger, they would need to be at least level 70 and possess Martial Soul Avatar.

If two Soul Masters of level 70 or above use the Hell White Tiger, then as long as they can reach the Soul Douluo level, their Hell White Tiger can be comparable to Titled Douluo.

If it were the Hell White Tiger at the Titled Douluo level, then it would be possible for an ordinary Titled Douluo to fight against Super Douluo.

And it is precisely because of this that the Star Luo Empire's style is so ruthless, because they have the strength and the ability to manage the entire empire.

In fact, if it weren't for the existence of the Spirit Hall, the Star Luo Empire would have been strong enough to destroy the Heaven Dou Empire. However, the Spirit Hall was sandwiched between the Two Great Empires, making it a natural barrier that prevented a major war Two Great Empires.
