Hundred Year Longevity Gu

[Tied for Tenth Place on the Ranking: Dragon God Douluo Mu En's Monologue Concluded!]

[Opportunity Reward Issued: One Hundred Year Longevity Gu]

[Opportunity Description: In a certain world, humans are the spirit of all things, while Gu are the essence of heaven and earth. Longevity Gu are but one of countless Gu insects, capable of directly extending the user's lifespan. One Hundred Year Longevity Gu can grant its user an additional hundred years of life.]

As Dragon God Douluo Mu En's monologue came to an end, the Heavenly Curtain began issuing the Opportunity Reward to the ranked individual, just as it had declared from the beginning.

The moment the reward appeared, it stirred envy in human powerhouses across the entire continent.

A mere hundred years of lifespan naturally meant little to Soul Beasts, whose lives were long.

But to all humans, it was immensely important!

Even Limit Douluo, who stood at the pinnacle of humanity, could only live for a little over two hundred years and found it difficult to surpass the three-hundred-year threshold.

Yet the reward bestowed by the Heavenly Ranking could directly add a full hundred years to one's lifespan.

Such an opportunity was simply too tempting.

If they could, who would not wish to live forever?

Especially those powerhouses whose final days were drawing near—they wished they could take Mu En's place and obtain that Hundred Year Longevity Gu.

"My god, it can extend one's life by a hundred years! Why wasn't I the one ranked?! Heaven is unjust!!"

"Dragon God Douluo in his prime protecting Shrek Academy for another hundred years? How the hell are we supposed to compete? I'm out."

"How wonderful would it be if I could snatch that Longevity Gu?"

"..."

Tempted by a hundred extra years of life, some people completely lost their minds and entertained some bold ideas that would get them killed the moment they tried them.

There were actually a few brainless fools who wanted to launch a surprise attack on Shrek Academy, create chaos, and use it to seize the Hundred Year Longevity Gu.

Of course, such people were ultimately few. Most still had some sense.

Who had received this reward?

It was Dragon God Douluo Mu En, the strongest person alive and one who stood at the pinnacle of humanity.

Aside from Dragon God Douluo himself, Shrek Academy was guarded by many powerful experts, and there were countless powerhouses across the continent who had graduated from Shrek Academy.

Which family did not have Shrek Academy students? Which family had no ties to Shrek Academy?

If those with suicidal thoughts truly dared to ambush Shrek Academy, they had better consider whether they could survive the aftermath.

"It can extend one's life by a hundred years? Dragon God Douluo truly has incredible luck!!" Xu Tianran stared at the reward displayed on the Heavenly Curtain, gritting his teeth so hard they nearly shattered.

Such an existence would inevitably affect the Sun Moon Empire's plans to unify the Douluo Continent in the future.

Just as had happened thousands of years ago, Shrek Academy had led the forces of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms and defeated their Sun Moon Empire.

Wouldn't it have been better for him to obediently die early, just as the future revealed by the Heavenly Curtain showed?

Why did such a heaven-defying Opportunity Reward have to suddenly appear?

At that moment, Xu Tianran utterly hated the existence of the Heavenly Curtain.

At the same time, under the watchful eyes of every living being on the continent, a beam of white light shot out from the Heavenly Curtain.

Everyone knew that the Hundred Year Longevity Gu was within that white light.

Its flight path was also displayed simultaneously on the Heavenly Curtain.

"Haha~ The Longevity Gu is mine!"

After seeing the white light suddenly streak across the sky above him, a Titled Douluo whose end was near finally failed to restrain himself and chose to take a gamble.

He only had a few years left to live anyway, so he might as well risk it all.

If he succeeded, he would gain a full hundred more years of life.

The Titled Douluo who flew into the air transformed his hand into a bear paw and swiftly reached for the beam of white light.

Naturally, all of this was shown on the Heavenly Curtain as well.

"It was that easy?" Some people began regretting that they had not been as decisive as he was.

"That brat Yan Xiong is courting death!" Inside Shrek Academy, Xuan Zi watched the scene on the Heavenly Curtain and wished he could rush over there and kill him immediately.

That was an Opportunity Reward bestowed upon Mu En by the Heavenly Curtain. How could it be stolen by such a petty villain?

Mu En gaining another hundred years of life was tremendous news for Shrek Academy.

"Haha~ It's mine! This Hundred Year Longevity Gu is mine!!"

Yan Xiong, who had firmly seized the beam of white light, threw back his head and laughed wildly, venting the pride in his heart.

He had not expected to obtain such a heaven-defying opportunity so easily.

Some powerhouses who knew Yan Xiong's location immediately rushed in that direction, hoping to seize the Hundred Year Longevity Gu.

But they soon stopped in unison.

Because as displayed on the Heavenly Curtain, Yan Xiong instantly turned to ashes and vanished between heaven and earth.

Such a terrifying method of erasure extinguished everyone's thoughts of trying to steal it.

In the end, beneath countless gazes, the white light flew into Shrek Academy, into the third floor of the Sea God Pavilion, and landed in Mu En's palm.

At that moment, the live display within the Heavenly Curtain finally came to a stop.

"Is this the Hundred Year Longevity Gu?"

As the white light faded, Mu En finally saw the Longevity Gu's appearance clearly.

It resembled ginseng roots, like the roots of an ancient tree. Resting in his hand, it looked coarse and weathered.

Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and Xian Lin'er also gathered around to examine the Longevity Gu.

Who would not be curious about something that could extend one's life by a hundred years?

"Teacher, you should use this Hundred Year Longevity Gu as soon as possible. We'll stand guard for you outside," Xian Lin'er immediately suggested considerately.

Just as Xian Lin'er had said, if her teacher used it sooner, it would completely cut off any improper thoughts others might have.

At the same time, once her teacher returned to his peak condition, those so-called external enemies would be even less likely to dare come and tug at Shrek Academy's tiger whiskers.

With her teacher, this stabilizing pillar, presiding over the academy, there would be no need to fear any petty scoundrels.

Yan Shaozhe agreed. "Yes, Teacher. What if that established Evil Soul Master organization from the Heavenly Curtain launches a surprise attack on us early because of the Longevity Gu?"

"Lin'er and Shaozhe are right. Elder Mu, use the Longevity Gu as soon as possible. Shrek Academy can do without anyone, but it cannot do without you," Xuan Zi echoed from the side.

This Hundred Year Longevity Gu had originally been Mu En's opportunity. Though they were somewhat envious, that was only human nature.

More than anything, Xuan Zi and the others were happy for Mu En.

When they had seen the scene of Mu En's passing back then, every one of them had been devastated.

It could be said that Mu En's prestige within Shrek Academy was absolutely unparalleled. No one else could replace him.

"Very well." Hearing Xuan Zi and his two disciples persuade him from every angle to use the Longevity Gu, Mu En made up his mind and immediately entered seclusion.

Once he emerged in his peak state, with an ample lifespan, he would be able to complete the things he had failed to accomplish.

Reforming Shrek Academy, tracking down the Evil Soul Master organization's whereabouts...

As for the truth behind that matter involving Xi Shui all those years ago, which had seemed to contain hidden circumstances, he had long since come to terms with it and let it go.
