Saint Spirit Douluo Yali VS Sky Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu, Agreement

Saint Spirit Douluo Yali VS Sky Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu, Agreement and Conditions (4K)

Tianhai Hotel, eighty-eighth floor.

Tianhai Hotel was the most luxurious hotel in Skysea City. Shrek Academy and the Forging Association had coincidentally booked rooms there. With Shrek Academy's influence, investigating a room number was no problem.

Ye Xinglan stood before a room door. Light rippled through her azure pupils as she took a deep breath to steady herself, murmuring, "The trouble started because of me. It should end with me."

Knock, knock, knock—

Prepared to be humiliated beyond recognition, the young girl clenched her fist and knocked on the door.

"Night snack is here!"

Na'er's delighted voice rang out from inside. She leaped off the sofa and ran excitedly to open the door barefoot, not even having time to put on her shoes.

"Hm?"

What entered her sight was not a hotel attendant and a lavish food cart, but Ye Xinglan's cool, aloof face. Na'er froze, then hurriedly backed away three steps and shouted over her shoulder:

"Zhao Xuanzhen, grab your weapon! Shrek is attacking again!"

"I'm not here to fight..."

Ye Xinglan tried to explain, but before she could finish, Na'er had already drawn the Silver Dragon Spear, while Zhao Xuanzhen slowly approached.

Facing Na'er's undisguised hostility and Zhao Xuanzhen's probing gaze, Ye Xinglan said seriously, "I'm not here to fight. I only want to take responsibility for what I did. Can you give me a chance?"

Seeing that Ye Xinglan was alone and had no intention of drawing the Stargod Sword, Zhao Xuanzhen and Na'er exchanged a glance. He said blandly:

"Say it here."

"Thank you."

Since they had not immediately thrown her out, Ye Xinglan secretly let out a breath. She pressed her crimson lips together, and her shoulders suddenly seemed to lose all strength, slumping down as she lowered her head. "I'm sorry. What happened that day was my fault. I shouldn't have doubted you without reason, and I shouldn't have said those disrespectful things."

"Huh!"

Na'er's silver eyes lit up. She was somewhat surprised that Ye Xinglan had come in the middle of the night simply to apologize. This was nothing like Shrek Academy's overbearing style!

"Is there anything else?"

Zhao Xuanzhen sensed that the young girl had more to say.

Ye Xinglan raised her head. Her fair, clean pretty face wore a complicated expression, and her voice was strained. "Because we lost that battle and behaved improperly afterward, Shrek Academy has been mocked and cursed by the entire continent these past few days...

I want to ask the two of you to speak up for the academy. You are the strongest members of Eastsea Academy's Representative Team, and you are also at the center of public opinion.

As long as you agree to help, the academy's pressure will be greatly reduced, and we will surely overcome this crisis.

I made a grave mistake. I am willing to pay any price and do everything I can to make it up to you..."

After speaking, a tear slid past Ye Xinglan's delicate nose and spread into a dark circle on the carpet. More tears kept pouring out, her long eyelashes resembling butterfly wings dampened by morning dew.

As if to prove that she truly meant she would pay any price, she forced herself to lift her head, allowing the light waterfall from the chandelier to wash over her tear-streaked face. Her upper body stiffened, and her bandaged knees suddenly bent as she prepared to kneel straight down.

However, the instant Ye Xinglan bent her knees, two disks of ice rose from the floor and supported them. The cold light refracted by the ice happened to pierce into her tear-filled eyes.

Ye Xinglan looked blankly at Zhao Xuanzhen, unable to understand why he had stopped her from kneeling.

"Is Shrek Academy's so-called pride supposed to require you to degrade yourself?"

Zhao Xuanzhen sighed. Except under certain circumstances, he disliked kneeling.

Kneeling was an act utterly devoid of dignity. The education from both his lives had taught him to stand upright. Yet now, the reputation of the Continent's First Academy required a ten-year-old girl to beg on her knees. It was far too ironic.

"This matter has long surpassed the ordinary issue of victory or defeat in battle. Even if there is to be a discussion of solutions, Shrek Academy's high-level members should come in person. You cannot solve this, nor do you need to sacrifice yourself for nothing. Go back."

"Is that so..."

The door closed again. Ye Xinglan shakily straightened her knees, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She stared blankly as she supported herself against the wall and left.

Her mind in chaos, she staggered back to the sixty-sixth floor. Her injuries seemed to have worsened again. Purple-red bruises bloomed beneath skin as thin as cicada wings, her knees were swollen, and tiny beads of blood wound down from the bends of her legs, forming strings of droplets on her jade-white calves.

"S-Sister Xinglan!?"

A cry of alarm echoed through the corridor, waking the dazed Ye Xinglan. Xu Lizhi came waddling over with his chubby body, crying out in anguish, "Sister Xinglan, your injuries!"

"It's fine. I deserve it." Ye Xinglan bit down hard on her red lips. "They still won't forgive me..."

"Forgive you?"

Xu Lizhi caught the key word. He looked at Ye Xinglan's glaring knees, where blood scabs had cracked open into fresh wounds, dragging out intermittent red streaks.

Leaving aside her knees, Ye Xinglan's eyes were red and swollen. She had obviously just been crying. It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck Xu Lizhi. Had Ye Xinglan gone to find Zhao Xuanzhen in the middle of the night!?

It was extremely likely!

Ye Xinglan was stubborn and obsessive by nature. Coupled with Yu Yuanheng's provocation and Shen Yi's disappointed words, she had most likely taken all the blame onto herself. It was entirely possible that she had gone to his door to make amends!

The result was clear: both Ye Xinglan's body and mind were on the verge of collapse. Seeing her looking as though she had been brutally bullied, Xu Lizhi could not help but imagine what Zhao Xuanzhen might have done to Ye Xinglan when she delivered herself to his door in the middle of the night...

"Sister Xinglan, Sister Xinglan... no!"

While Xu Lizhi's heart twisted in pain, Zhao Xuanzhen and Na'er were happily eating their night snack, surrounded by a peaceful, harmonious atmosphere.

Na'er chewed sausage with loud crunches and said indistinctly, "Zhao Xuanzhen, did you see the news? Soul Net is flooded with reports targeting Shrek Academy. I think something's wrong. A single Exhibition Match loss shouldn't have caused such a huge uproar."

Zhao Xuanzhen took a bite of crab leg and nodded. "I've been following it. Some factions are using our victory to seek personal gain.

Shrek's first defeat in twenty thousand years shocked everyone, so the momentum has only grown stronger. The people behind it are likely the Sun Moon Federation. As the nominal ruler of Douluo Continent, manipulating public opinion is one of their specialties.

Shrek's reputation has suffered severely. To resolve this completely, some high-level member may truly be sent out. I suspect it could be a Poseidon Pavilion Elder."

"Ah?" Na'er’s eyes widened. "A Poseidon Pavilion Elder is at least a Super Douluo. We'll have to ask Godly Craftsman Senior and Body Senior to back us up."

"Forget it." Zhao Xuanzhen shook his head. "Godly Craftsman Senior has the Forging Association to worry about, so it would not be appropriate for him to confront Poseidon Pavilion directly. And the Body Sect is no longer as glorious as it once was, so Body Senior's standing is somewhat lacking."

It's time for us to seek outside assistance."

Taking out his Soul Guide Communicator, Zhao Xuanzhen found a chat window. After thinking for two and a half seconds, he sent a cute emoticon. Once the other party instantly replied with an animated smiling head pat, he initiated Soul Guidance Communication.

The next day, afternoon.

In the top-floor Meeting Room of Tianhai Hotel, the blazing sun and layers of clouds merged into a radiant glow at the horizon beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The woman possessed peerless beauty. Her emerald-green hair was half-bound by a silver-threaded vines crown, and her long dress was embroidered with Angel Wings patterns. Winding vine ornaments could vaguely be seen over her glossy shoulders, while an indescribable aura of life radiated from her body.

"Sister Yali, listen to me!"

The Soul Guide Communicator was still connected, and the words Cai Yue'er were clearly displayed on it. She chattered without pause, "Although we have decided to invite the Eastsea students to enroll, they made the academy lose face. You must show them the academy's authority!

Shrek is Shrek, standing high above all others. Being admitted is their honor!"

Saint Spirit Douluo Yali smiled helplessly. "Yue'er, Eastsea Academy has deep ties with us. Their lead teacher, Wu Changkong, is Turbid World's disciple. His students have worked hard to cultivate themselves in pursuit of entering Shrek Academy. It would be better to be gentler."

Silvermoon Douluo Cai Yue'er's dissatisfied voice came through. "Among Eastsea Academy's seven members, only four are Wu Changkong's students, and the most talented one, Gu Yue, has already withdrawn and returned home for seclusion.

Of the other three, Jiu Tian is Godly Craftsman Zhen Hua's disciple and is completely devoted to forging, so he has made it clear that he will not join the academy. Zhao Xuanzhen and Na'er's background is the Spirit Pagoda. We used many hidden agents before learning that Zhao Xuanzhen seems to be her disciple. You must be forceful!"

"I know what I'm doing. Shen Yi has gone to bring them here, and they should be arriving soon. I'm hanging up."

Yali sensed someone approaching and swiftly ended her conversation with Cai Yue'er.

A moment later, Shen Yi pushed open the door. Zhao Xuanzhen and Na'er entered the Meeting Room, and a dense life aura immediately rushed toward them.

"Sit. Let's talk."

The three sat facing one another. Yali smiled as she spoke, "Hello, Xuanzhen, Na'er. I am Saint Spirit Douluo Yali, a member of Shrek's Poseidon Pavilion. On behalf of the academy, I would like to discuss something with you: enrolling in Shrek Academy."

"My apologies, Her Holiness Holy Spirit." Zhao Xuanzhen said regretfully, "We are disciples of the Spirit Pagoda and cannot decide for ourselves whether to enroll in Shrek Academy..."

"Yali, I'm the one you should be talking to."

The crisp sound of high heels striking the floor echoed through the room as a blaze of vivid fire entered everyone's sight.

A crimson satin dress wrapped around the woman's curvaceous body. When she raised her chin, the scarlet hair hanging beside her ears trembled lightly, while the sharpness flowing within her crimson pupils tore apart the room's radiance.

Yali's fingers resting on the table suddenly tightened. The newcomer was none other than Sky Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu!

As Leng Yaozhu entered, Zhao Xuanzhen and Na'er leisurely took their seats. We're just children and part of the vulnerable group. We don't understand. Go talk to our teacher!

"Whose idea was it to have my disciples enroll in Shrek Academy?"

Like a phoenix rising from flames and looking down upon heaven and earth, Leng Yaozhu said, "Yours? His? Or Turbid World's, Feng Wuyu's... or that madwoman Cai Yue'er's?"

"It was the shared opinion of the Poseidon Pavilion Meeting."

Yali avoided the sharp question. The gazes of the two peerlessly beautiful female powerhouses collided. One was gentle and tranquil, the other proud and radiant. A compassionate angel and a burning phoenix formed a frozen totem of confrontation amid the surging air.

"Yaozhu, growing through failure is also an important lesson. Shrek can accept a single defeat." Yali spoke softly. "However, Shrek will never allow people with ulterior motives to use this opportunity to slander and spread rumors.

Shrek is inviting Xuanzhen and Na'er to enroll to prove that the academy's character is not so unbearable. We remain open to all exceptionally gifted monsters across the continent and encourage them to defeat Shrek's students."

Leng Yaozhu folded her arms, her presence imposing. "Silence the masses, let the rumors collapse on their own, and recover a huge amount of reputation in the process. A clever plan.

But why should I cooperate with Shrek Academy? What benefit does this bring Xuanzhen and Na'er?"

Yali fell silent. As core disciples of the Spirit Pagoda, with the Spirit Pagoda Deputy Tower Master behind them, the abundant resources available to the two children were no worse than Shrek's. Leng Yaozhu truly had no reason to let them go.

"This time, Shrek is asking you for help. Name your conditions, Yaozhu." Yali smiled bitterly. "As long as they are within my authority, I will agree."

Leng Yaozhu had rushed to Skysea City overnight and formulated a plan with Zhao Xuanzhen in advance. She saw no reason to beat around the bush and said directly:

"Three conditions. First, Shrek Academy must announce to the continent that Xuanzhen and Na'er have been invited as Exchange Students, with an exchange period of five years. Once those five years are over, they may leave Shrek at any time.

Second, they will not stay in the Outer Court. They will move directly onto Sea God Island. The abundant energy there can greatly increase their cultivation speed.

Third, we are doing you an enormous favor. Shrek will offer two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones as compensation."

"This..."

Yali frowned tightly and slowly said, "Five years as Exchange Students is no problem. Shrek Academy has historical precedent for exchanges with Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Master Academy.

Sea God Island is where outstanding Inner Court disciples and Poseidon Pavilion Elders reside. That can be accepted.

But two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones are impossible. Soul beasts are becoming increasingly rare, and Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones are difficult to obtain. The ones preserved by Shrek Academy are all treasures passed down by our predecessors. At most, I can secure one."

"One Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, and its bloodline rank must be high-grade."

"Fine."

The two Title Douluos reached an agreement. Yali added, "We will still need to go through the enrollment procedures. That way, Poseidon Pavilion can award the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone on the grounds of outstanding assessment results."

Leng Yaozhu nodded, then left with Zhao Xuanzhen and Na'er, returning to the eighty-eighth floor.

The moment they entered, Zhao Xuanzhen's cheeks were already caught between two jade-shoot-like fingertips. Her reddened nails sank into the soft flesh of his cheeks, forcing him to tilt his head up and meet the flickering flames in his teacher's phoenix eyes.

"More than two months without seeing each other, and the first time you contact me, you're causing trouble. You even insist on going to Shrek Academy!

What, can't your teacher teach you anymore?"

"Teacher, gentler..."

Zhao Xuanzhen trusted Leng Yaozhu, but he found it difficult to reveal all his secrets, such as his agreement with the Plane Spirit, the Life Core Golden Tree on Sea God Island, the Blue Silver Emperor hidden within that tree, and the arrival of more Eight Deceitful Gods...

Over the next five years, he had too many things to accomplish at Shrek Academy.

Furthermore, after that night of "supporting the heavens above and probing the netherworld below," Zhao Xuanzhen had developed an obsession with becoming number one. Outer Court, Inner Court, Elders, Pavilion Master—he would defeat them one by one, slowly climb to the top, and replace someone's position in Leng Yaozhu's heart.

After kneading his cheeks for quite a while, Leng Yaozhu suddenly released him and said softly:

"Forget it. Go if you want. Fortunately, Shrek Academy is right beside Spirit Transmission Tower Headquarters. If anything happens, I'll be able to help you in time."

"Teacher, you're not blaming me?"

"Of course not."

Leng Yaozhu looked at Zhao Xuanzhen, her smile both tolerant and gentle. "This is your life. Your teacher cannot bind you forever.

Whatever you believe is right, whatever you constantly think about, you must put it into action no matter what. If it is dark, turn on a light and do it. If you fall, crawl and do it. If there are rumors and gossip, put on a mask and do it.

Your teacher has regrets, so I do not want my disciple to regret anything someday in the future. Courage is fleeting, and youth is your greatest source of confidence.

Go ahead and do what you want. If the sky falls, your teacher will hold it up for you."
