If the empire had that strength, the first thing it would do would be to completely eradicate Shrek Academy, a thorn in its side, from the Douluo Continent.
Everyone was so shocked by the shocking news of Xia Linyuan that they were speechless. Even Ma Xiaotao forgot to cry for a moment and stared blankly at the young man in front of him with golden eyes full of contempt and a smile that was extremely wanton.
Every word he said struck hard at Ma Xiaotao's heart, impacting her already formed concept of Shrek's glory.
If this sentence were spoken by other people, they would only regard it as a joke, but it was said by Xia Linyuan, General Star Luo Empire himself, and the meaning was naturally extraordinary.
The attitude of a high-ranking official like Xia Linyuan, who is already in a high position, represents to a large extent the attitude of His Majesty the Emperor.
In other words, one day, after the strength of several major empires equals that of the Shrek Academy, the first thing to do is to eradicate Shrek Academy, the dissident, to avoid future troubles!
Everyone's breathing suddenly became difficult, as if a huge stone was pressing on their hearts.
Ning Tian asked with difficulty, "Captain, are you not afraid of us..."
Xia Linyuan grinned slightly, the corners of his lips seemed to reach to the base of his ears.
He said contemptuously, "I dare to say that I have the confidence."
Hearing this, everyone felt an inexplicable chill behind them, and they felt a little chilly in their hearts for no apparent reason.
At this time, the other side.
Xiao Hongchen brought Douluo World Pearl along with the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy students who walked out of Starlight Auction House like stars over the moon.
Apart from wearing casual clothes, they did not wear any disguise.
And in Xiao Hongchen's hand, he was holding tightly the World Bead he had just taken, fearing that his hand would suddenly slip, and the treasure "Space Pearl" that he spent 700 million Gold Soul Coin to take would be exposed to the public.
"Space Pearl", which contains a trace of one of the most mysterious attribute laws on the Douluo Continent - space, cannot be put into any Storage Soul Tool, because the level of "Space Pearl" is far higher than all current storage devices on the Douluo Continent.
So he could only hold on tight, and then wait for Elder Ma to bring Sun Moon Empire's Illustrious Virtue Hall headquarters through the Illustrious Virtue Hall through Xingluo City's secret channel and hand it over to his grandfather - Jing Hongchen.
Seeing his brother's funny expression of being so nervous that his limbs were uncoordinated, Meng Hongchen helplessly whispered, "Brother, please relax. No one except Starlight Auction House knows that we have photographed such a valuable treasure. You look like this, but it makes you seem to be hiding something."
Hearing this, Xiao Hongchen was startled, and his tense body finally relaxed a little, "Did I really look like I was hiding something?"
Meng Hongchen nodded, "It's much better now."
Xiao Hongchen's tense body relaxed a little more. He held the "Space Pearl" in his hand tightly, and an elegant smile appeared on his handsome face. "I didn't expect that I could get such a reward when I came to the Star Luo Empire to participate in the continent-wide high-level Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament. It's a worthwhile trip."
"If it is really as the Jiujiu auctioneer said, it is possible to add spatial attributes based on the original attributes, I am confident that I can defeat Xia Linyuan in the next continent-wide advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament!"
Meng Hongchen could clearly see that when Xiao Hongchen said these words, there seemed to be raging fire burning in his eyes. He couldn't help but think of the day Xiao Hongchen brought her to the door to block Xia Linyuan, but the latter gave her an inadvertent look, which scared Jiujiu so much that she couldn't move.
She couldn't help but sigh.
In five years, can we really get rid of the fear caused by that casual glance and surpass it?
Carrying a heavy treasure, the group had no intention of playing around and hurried back to Star Emperor Hotel.
Suddenly, I don't know if it was an illusion, but the bustling crowds and everything on the main road that could accommodate sixteen carriages running parallel in both directions at the same time were like a mirror, shattered one after another, and finally fell into darkness.
Looking at the deep darkness ahead, Xiao Hongchen and others suddenly felt alarm bells ringing in their hearts. They gathered back to back and were alert to their surroundings.
Elder Ma took a deep breath, and respectfully faced the deep darkness and asked, "Senior came here unexpectedly, I don't know what you are doing. If there is anything that I can do, I will definitely do my little bit."
Elder Ma As soon as he finished speaking, the deep darkness squirmed, and a slender figure appeared in front of them.
The moment the figure appeared, in the boundless darkness, a majestic and terrifying pressure suddenly swept across, and even set off a terrible hurricane, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped.
Violent, cold, forbidding, and yet making people feel desperate... Many terrifying auras burst out in an instant, like a sharp arrow, piercing through the thoughts of all of them.
He was a slender young man who looked to be in his early twenties.
He is very tall, about two meters tall, with short white hair, but there are bunches of black hair on his forehead and on the right temple.
Those golden eyes were so indifferent that there was no emotion mixed in them, but such indifferent eyes were as deep as a bottomless whirlpool. Looking at them, one's mind seemed to be sucked out of them.
The tall, white bridge of the nose, the almost perfect lip shape... the delicate facial features seem to have been carefully crafted by an artist.
He is very handsome, as if he is the most perfect creation created by the Creator, but for some reason, his whole person exudes a sense of coquettishness, an illusion that makes people want to fall into it at a glance.
Facing the terrifying aura that seemed to come from the wilderness, Elder Ma gritted his teeth and stepped forward to protect all the juniors behind him.
The aura of terror was reduced a bit, and Xiao Hongchen and the others could finally take a breath.
How could there be such a terrifying person in this world? How powerful is he?
This is the only thought left in everyone's mind at this moment.
He opened his white, slender palms to everyone, and said in an elegant voice without any emotion, "I want that bead."
Hearing that the other party was coming for the "Space Pearl" in his hand, Xiao Hongchen didn't know where the courage came from. Under such terrifying pressure, he squeezed out a few words through his teeth, "Senior, if you are interested in other treasures carried by the junior, the junior can give them away, but can this Space Pearl be left to the junior?"
"I want that bead." The visitor was not moved at all.
Xiao Hongchen gritted his teeth again and said in a deep voice, "Senior, I would like to replace you with three pieces of Level 9 Soul Tool..."
Xiao Hongchen Before he could finish speaking, a more terrifying aura came instantly.
It was as if the stars were collapsing and the sky was falling. Under the strong pressure, everyone at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy had their legs weak. They knelt down one after another and grabbed the ground with their heads, making it difficult to move.
So strong!
Everyone was shocked by the power of this mysterious man who suddenly appeared.
Xiao Hongchen, who was kneeling on the ground, felt the terrifying pressure on his body and felt humiliated in his heart.
Damn it!
When had he ever experienced such humiliation!
Thinking like this, he subconsciously tightened his grip on "Space Pearl", as if this would prevent this inhumanly powerful man from snatching "Space Pearl".
But the other party didn't let him take any chances. Xiao Hongchen felt a sudden sharp pain in his wrist, as if someone had stepped on it, and he couldn't move.
A huge force came, and his clenched fist was like a piece of garlic with its coat peeled off, being broken open bit by bit, and the beads containing the origin of the world that gave birth to Douluo World were exposed to the air, clearly visible.
The World Pearl slowly rose into the air, and fell into his hands with a gentle wave of his hand.
"There's so much nonsense." After he said this sentence Leng Leng, his whole person was instantly swallowed up by darkness.
After he left, the terrifying aura disappeared in an instant, and the substantial darkness around him gradually faded away like a tide, and the familiar Xingluo City building came into view bit by bit.
Looking at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy's group of people kneeling on the ground, the pedestrians couldn't help but whisper to their fellow travelers, who must have been whispering that there was something seriously wrong with these people.
The whispers around him were all heard by the group, and Xiao Hongchen was even more humiliated.
Return to Xia Linyuan.
The Mo Lan color world bead seems to contain everything, and at the same time, because the origin of the world is damaged, it looks like it is covered with a lifeless gray layer. Xia Linyuan has an expressionless face, and it is hard to tell what he is thinking about at the moment.
Yes, the person who just made a move to snatch Xiao Hongchen and spent 700 million Gold Soul Coin to take the World Pearl, who else could it be besides him?
Suddenly, there was a knock on his door.
"General, Your Majesty invites you to enter the palace." The waiter's voice came from outside the door.
Xia Linyuan put Douluo World Pearl away, and at the same time simply packed up his clothes, opened the door and walked out.
I came to Xingluo Imperial City again, but it was not in the palace, but in the back garden.
"Your Majesty." Xia Linyuan made a bow to Xingluo Emperor, who was holding a black chess piece and staring at the chessboard in front of him, deep in thought.
"Aiqing is here." Seeing Xia Linyuan, Xingluo Emperor's face suddenly filled with a hearty smile and made an invitation gesture to him, "Come, sit down."
Xia Linyuan sat in front of him, but Xingluo Emperor did not explain the reason for announcing his entry into the palace, but began to think about the next step.
Xingluo Emperor rubbed the black stone in his hand for a long time, and finally placed it on the chessboard in front of him.
Xia Linyuan glanced at the situation on the chessboard casually. At this moment, the white chess pieces were surrounded by the black pieces on three sides, and their forces were divided. They were almost in a desperate situation with no way to retreat.
"My dear, what's the solution to this situation?" Xingluo Emperor asked.
Xia Linyuan picked up a white stone and put it down as if carelessly.
Seeing the position where Xia Linyuan's white piece fell, Xingluo Emperor was slightly startled at first, and then fell into deep thought.
I don't know how long it took, but the sunspot in Xingluo Emperor's hand fell again.
With almost no hesitation, Xia Linyuan picked up the white stone and put it down.
After less than seven rounds, Xingluo Emperor was shocked to find that Bai Zi had actually broken through his many blockades, making the one-sided situation suddenly clear up, and there was even a faint tendency to counterattack.
"As expected of his great wisdom, in just a few rounds, he actually broke through my blockade and turned the situation around in an instant." Xingluo Emperor put down the sunspot in his hand Jiujiu and sighed helplessly.
"Your Majesty is so complimentary." Xia Linyuan said neither humble nor overbearing.
After Xingluo Emperor ordered people to put away the chessboard and asked everyone to step aside, he looked at Xia Linyuan and asked, "Ai Qing, do you know why I announce your entry into the palace?"
Xia Linyuan said indifferently, "It's just that I just took the initiative and gave Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone to Huo Yuhao."
"I know that Aiqing will not let you go without anything, and she must have her own ideas, but I still want to ask what Aiqing thinks."
"My dear, you also know that Illustrious Virtue Hall has made major breakthroughs in Soul Tool's research one after another, and even with Abyssal Creatures's invasion, Sun Moon Empire is still eyeing Douluo Continent?"
"If we don't keep them in check, Sun Moon Empire will make big moves in less than ten years, but we are far from ready to fight against the Sun Moon Empire, a big country in Soul Tool, not to mention that at least one-third of our entire Star Luo Empire military force is invested in the Abyss front line."
"With the brutal Abyssal Creatures staring at the Douluo Continent in front of us, and the Sun Moon Empire watching covetously behind us, only by sending a signal of goodwill to the Shrek Academy and finding opportunities for cooperation can we, Star Luo Empire, avoid being swallowed up by the Sun Moon Empire."
"I know."
"In that case, why do you love me..."
Xia Linyuan asked indifferently, "Don't you think it looks familiar to your Majesty?"
Xingluo Emperor was stunned, not quite understanding what he meant.
"It would be a bit ridiculous if a country already needs the emperor to condescend and personally seek asylum from an academy in order to avoid being destroyed in a war."
Xia Linyuan's golden eyes were filled with indifference, "Your Majesty, do you know why the academy is an academy?"
Xingluo Emperor's heart tightened, and he vaguely guessed what Xia Linyuan was thinking.
"The word 'Xue' in the ancient Chinese characters Douluo comes from the shape of 'two hands facing down', which means to help, support, guide and teach with both hands."
"The academy is a place to teach and educate people, and to teach people to understand right and wrong. It should not be used to do things for sects or forces in the name of the academy."
"And when a college is not only independent from the empire, but also carries out sect and power affairs in the name of the college, there is no need for it to exist, and Shrek Academy is an example."
"Spirit Hall from ten thousand years ago gathered Douluo Continent at least more than 60% of Spirit Master, overwhelming the Star Luo Empire and Heaven Dou Empire at that time, and finally started a unification war under the leadership of the Pope."
"And today, ten thousand years later, Shrek Academy has also gathered at least 70% of the top experts in the Douluo Continent, and His Majesty is even more willing to condescend to seek asylum from him for the sake of the empire."
