Lunar Yin Douluo

A week later, a powerful aura soared into the sky.

Yun Ming, who was drinking tea, turned his head and looked over. "He's broken through the title barrier."

Zhuo Shi blew on the steam rising from his teacup. "Titled Douluo at 17 years and 3 months old, tsk tsk tsk... these young people nowadays~"

At the construction site, Xie Xie's neck ached from lifting it so much. "Ouch, I'm a complete slut..."

Tang Wulin chuckled and patted him on the shoulder, "Shouldn't you try a little harder?"

Xie Xie his eyes at him, "Even if I try harder, can I catch up with you guys? Jing Heng is 90, you're 81, Xing Lan is 83, Yuan En 79, and Xiao Yan is 72."

"I'm only 3 levels lower than Yuan En, you guys are just too freakish."

Yuanen Yehui walked over with a form in hand. "Have you forgotten that Gu Yue is level 88?"

He opened his mouth, as if he'd been stabbed in the back, and remained speechless for a long time. "Gu Yue doesn't count! Who can compare to her bloodline? I don't want to compare myself to her."

Yuanen Yehui didn't even look at him, and instead made a few marks on her watch. "Didn't you just say you were only three levels away from Yuan En? Let me remind you, don't get cocky."

Xu Xiaoyan squatted down laughing beside him. Xie Xie turned to look at her. "What are you laughing at? You're 72 and you're still laughing at me!"

Xu Xiaoyan laughed even louder, "I'm 72, I admit it, you're 76 and you still think you can take on ten people every day."

Xie Xie choked.

Tang Wulin suppressed a laugh and pulled Xie Xie aside, "Alright, if you two keep arguing, Jing Heng will come out and see us all gathered here, and he'll say we're too idle."

Xie Xie said, "How dare he say we're idle? He made such a fuss, everyone's watching him."

As they were talking, that soaring aura gradually subsided.

A faint chill lingered in the air.

Tang Wulin and his companions were still chatting and laughing, and no one noticed what was behind them.

Yun Jingheng had somehow appeared behind them.

His clothes still bore the dust of his seclusion, the silver light in his eyes hadn't faded, and a faint smile played at the corners of his lips.

He reached out and lightly tapped Xie Xie on the back of the head.

"Who's free?" he said.

Xie Xie sprang up as if struck by lightning.

He yelled and darted forward two steps. When he looked back, Yun Jingheng was standing there, grinning in an annoying way.

Xu Xiaoyan was also startled, clutching her chest and exclaiming, "Jing Heng! Are you a cat? How come you didn't make a sound!"

Tang Wulin turned around, paused for a moment, then laughed, "Your movement technique... it's like a ghost."

Yun Jingheng said, "When I came out, I saw you all lined up looking at the sky. It would be a shame not to scare you with that formation."

Yuanen Yehui remained standing in place, coldly stating, "Very boring."

Yun Jingheng nodded. "Boring."

Xie Xie pointed at him. "Listen to this! Even Yuan En said you're boring! You're a Titled Douluo, scaring us weak Soul Master, is that interesting?!"

Yun Jingheng glanced at him. "Interesting."

Xie Xie rolled his eyes in anger.

Xu Xiaoyan laughed uncontrollably again.

Tang Wulin said, "Honestly, with your breakthrough, those spies outside Shrek Academy probably won't be able to sleep again."

Yun Jingheng hummed in agreement. "Keep them awake, that way they won't dare to cause trouble while we're building the academy."

Yuanen Yehui looked up from her watch. "So you deliberately didn't suppress your breathing?"

Yun Jingheng did not deny it.

Xie Xie suddenly realized. "So I'm still in your atmosphere-building team?"

Yun Jingheng said, "You're just a background character."

Xie Xie choked.

Ye Xinglan walked over from the other side, carrying a thin outer robe in her hand.

She glanced at Yun Jingheng, then at Xie Xie, and knew what had happened without even asking.

She handed the outer robe to Yun Jingheng: "You've just come out of seclusion, don't use your movement techniques recklessly."

Yun Jingheng took it and smiled, "I didn't misuse it. It's only a short walk."

Ye Xinglan didn't speak, she just glanced at him.

He immediately stopped laughing.

Xie Xie whispered to Tang Wulin, "See? Even Titled Douluo get disciplined."

Tang Wulin replied in a low voice, "Are you envious?"

Xie Xie stubbornly replied, "I'm not envious."

The group started arguing again, while Yun Jingheng stood there watching them.

Sunlight streamed through the newly built eaves, illuminating a few people; the Shrek construction site was still bustling with activity.

Ye Xinglan smiled and smoothed his hair. "What's the title?"

Yun Jingheng turned his head to look at her, a lingering smile in his eyes, "What?"

"Title."

Ye Xinglan's fingers slid down his forehead, then she gently pressed down his collar. "No matter how powerful you are, aren't you still Yun Jingheng? Now that you've become Titled Douluo, shouldn't you have a title?"

Yun Jingheng thought for a moment, then said, "I'll call myself... Xing Lan Douluo!"

"..."×5

Ye Xinglan blushed and slapped him.

Xie Xie looked at Yuanen Yehui, "Then I'll call you Yuan En Douluo from now on?"

The moment Xie Xie uttered his thoughtless remark, the surroundings fell silent.

Xu Xiaoyan's eyes widened, while Tang Wulin seemed to be caught on something and turned his head away.

Yun Jingheng burst out laughing, and Ye Xinglan was also stunned for a moment before turning her face away.

Xie Xie hadn't realized anything was wrong yet, and only turned to look at Yuanen Yehui.

Yuanen Yehui stood there, the form in her hand half-rolled up.

She didn't speak, but slowly raised her gaze from her watch and placed it on Xie Xie's face, giving him a slight look.

"Don't you think it's cool?"

Xie Xie looked around, scratched the back of his head, and said, "No, this name is pretty cool, don't you guys think?"

Xu Xiaoyan whispered, "I don't know if he's cool or not, but he certainly knows how to take advantage of people."

Xie Xie looked bewildered. "How did I gain any advantage?"

He turned to look at Yuanen Yehui, Yuanen Yehui did not speak.

She simply rolled up the form slowly and looked up at him.

She took a step forward, and Xie Xie instinctively took half a step back.

"You certainly know how to pick," Yuanen Yehui said.

"Um... I'm imitating Jing Heng."

"No, let's get serious! What nonsense are you spouting? Think of another one." Ye Xinglan interrupted the sweet atmosphere between the two, her gaze fixed intently on Yun Jingheng.

Yun Jingheng stroked his chin, pretended to think seriously for a full three seconds, and then looked up with a solemn expression:

"Then how about we call him... Ultimate Moonlight Shining Invincible Handsome Douluo?"

The surroundings became completely quiet.

Yuanen Yehui narrowed his eyes.

She was re-evaluating how serious this newly Titled Douluo really was.

Ye Xinglan slowly turned her head to look at Yun Jingheng.

His gaze was extremely complex, as complex as if he were looking at someone who used the Stargod Sword as a carrying pole.

"Are you sure?" Ye Xinglan asked.

"How cool is that?"

Yun Jingheng shrugged, speaking with self-assurance, "Moonlight, radiance, invincibility, and handsome—tell me, which title on this continent is as comprehensive as mine? Other titles are just two characters long, but mine is a whole string of characters long; the enemy would be breathless just from reciting my name."

Xie Xie's lips twitched violently. "It's quite comprehensive, both chuunibyou and hate-inducing. In the future, if someone asks 'Who are you?' and you say 'Ultimate Moonlight Shining Invincible Handsome Douluo,' will your enemies laugh themselves to death or be furious to death?"

Yun Jingheng said, "It would be best if you laughed to death, so I wouldn't have to hit you."

"Hahahaha--!" ×6

After they had finished laughing, Yun Jingheng looked up at the faintly visible moon in the sky, "My Martial Soul's true name is Lunar Yin Moon, so my title will be..."

"Lunar Yin."
