"Ha! Ha—! Good! Very good! You little brat! I have to say, you've thoroughly enraged me!"
Frenzied Soul Power mixed with divinity began to run rampant. Tai Tan's eyes turned an alarming shade of red as he glared at Ming Yue!
"Though I don't know how you came up with such bizarre, insane nonsense, just looking at your face is enough to tell me that I absolutely can't let you live, brat!!!"
Divine Soul Power began to spread, rampaging indiscriminately as well. Niu Tian appeared relatively calm on the surface.
But inside, he had long since lost his cool, and killing intent surged through him! He wanted nothing more than to crush Ming Yue to death a thousand times over!
"Heh heh heh. I can't be bothered to waste my breath on a beast traitor who became a dog just to get a godly post the size of a sesame seed, Tower Master."
"After taking care of you, only one of the three layers of protection Little Scumbag left behind will remain. Then I'll see whether he can resist coming down to the mortal realm himself."
Skyfire flashed as Ming Yue let out a cold laugh, and he vanished from the spot in an instant!
"Roar!" x2
Tai Tan and Niu Tian let out furious roars and unleashed Soul Skills wrapped in terrifying Soul Power, blasting toward Ming Yue!
Boom!
A massive explosion of energy erupted across the area. Some Super Douluo were even hurled away by the shock wave!
Under such terrifying power, just as everyone thought another fierce battle was about to begin,
two figures were sent flying and slammed deep into the ground beneath the Tang Sect plaque.
"How boring. They weren't even as threatening as Little Scumbag's projection. And here I wasted a 'material' pill."
Holding Skyfire, Ming Yue strolled out from the center of the raging energy, a cold killing intent on his handsome face.
"God-level Soul Rings and Soul Bones, along with all these strategic 'resources'—the Spirit Pagoda will gladly accept them!"
"Little Scumbag, I look forward to a real fight with you."
With a flash, he beheaded Tai Tan and Niu Tian, sending their dog heads flying. Ming Yue tossed Skyfire aside.
Fenghuang Down, now in its simulated form, drifted down from the sky. The Douluo from the Spirit Pagoda began another cleanup operation.
[At age 27, the Tang Sect Mysterious Disappearance Case once again shocked the entire Douluo Continent, sending an already restless continent into even greater turmoil!] [In response to the major mass disappearances of powerful organizations over the past two years, the Federation and the other major forces all dispatched numerous Titled Douluo to investigate.] [Unfortunately, with your meticulous arrangements and the Spirit Pagoda's cleanup efforts, the various forces couldn't find so much as a single hair.] [With your deliberate efforts to mislead them, Shrek Academy even ended up saddled with plenty of rumors and blame!] [At age 28, with god-level Soul Rings as her foundation, Leng Yulai broke through to Titled Douluo and advanced five levels in a row, reaching the same realm as her older sister, Leng Yaozhu!] [As she broke Leng Yaozhu's record as the youngest Super Douluo in history, she also sensed plenty of pure Soul Power still hidden within her body after the breakthrough.] [At age 29, rumors across the continent grew more and more rampant. The major forces began keeping a close watch on Shrek Academy, an independent power that had governed itself for 20,000 years, and many powerful organizations even began preparing for war out of fear for their own safety!] [Meanwhile, the Spirit Pagoda had completely absorbed all the strategic 'resources' the Tang Sect had 'gifted' them!] [The ranks of the top combat forces gained two more Limit Douluo, while the number of Super and Peak Douluo rose to more than thirty!] [Not long after that, Chen Xinjie's son, Chen Zeyu, suddenly appeared, already possessing the strength of a Titled Douluo!] [He also established an organization called the "Anti-Spirit Organization" in Shrek City! While active in the city, he claimed not only to know the full story behind the Sea God Clan Mass Disappearance Case, but also to have plenty of theories about the Tang Sect Mysterious Disappearance Case!]
For a time, the situation across the entire continent grew even more complicated and treacherous!
In Shrek City.
For once, Ming Yue wasn't holed up in his laboratory. He walked through the bustling streets with Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai, holding one of their hands each.
"Come to think of it, this is the first time A-Yue has taken the initiative to invite the two of us out together, isn't it?"
Feeling the warmth in her palm, Leng Yaozhu turned toward Ming Yue with a beaming smile.
"Exactly! Our experimental maniac, Lord A-Yue, actually took the initiative to invite us sisters shopping today. How rare~"
Following her older sister's lead, Leng Yulai wrapped both arms around Ming Yue's right arm and leaned against him, speaking in a sweet, teasing voice.
"Ha, well, the weather's so nice today, and I haven't spent enough time with you two. So I thought I'd come out and stroll around with you."
A faint smile touched Ming Yue's handsome, mature face. For once, he relaxed completely as he spent time with the sisters.
"Hmph, it's a date~"
Seeing how forward her younger sister was being, Leng Yaozhu also took the initiative to embrace Ming Yue's left arm, smiling softly.
"Hehe, a date with A-Yue and Big Sister~"
"You're grinning too much, Sister Yulai."
"Ah! You dummy, A-Yue! I'm not grinning!"
"Hehehe, you're so adorable, Yulai~"
"..."
Appreciating beautiful things was undeniably one of humanity's shared instincts. So naturally, the handsome Ming Yue and the two beautiful women drew plenty of attention.
But when the onlookers saw how happily the three of them got along, they all found themselves smiling like proud matchmakers.
And so joy and warmth surrounded the trio—until they passed a tea stall.
It was like a live broadcast. A crowd of Soul Masters with extraordinary auras had gathered there, and the cheerful atmosphere among the three gradually faded.
"Titled Douluo—and more than one. Strange. Why are so many Titled Douluo gathered here?"
Leng Yulai was the first to speak as she looked around the simple tea stall in surprise.
"There are plenty of unfamiliar faces, but there are familiar ones too. Still, most of the Titled Douluo don't belong to the Spirit Pagoda."
Leng Yaozhu narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and leaned close to Ming Yue's ear to speak softly.
"Interesting. Why don't we see what happens next?"
Ming Yue looked toward the front with interest and pointed at the conspicuous raised platform.
"Mm." x2
The sisters nodded, then looked toward the platform with Ming Yue. Soon, a resolute figure appeared in the center.
The live-streaming equipment, which had been sitting idle all around them, sprang into action!
"Greetings, everyone! First of all, welcome to this live broadcast. Of course, I'm sure many of you have already guessed who I am."
"That's right. I'm Chen Zeyu, the founder of the Anti-Spirit Organization, the one who's been stirring up trouble in Shrek City lately."
As he spoke, a faintly smug smile appeared on his face, but he soon returned to a neutral expression.
"I'm sure you're all wondering why I'm holding this live broadcast, right?"
"That's right. The purpose of this broadcast is exactly what you're thinking."
"It's about the Sea God Clan Mass Disappearance Case and the Tang Sect Mysterious Disappearance Case—two major events that shook the entire continent!"
With an expression that seemed both mocking and self-deprecating, he paused, then began his account in a cold voice.
