The Green Skull Organization, the Qilin's Heart Knot, and "Pride"!

As the melodious voice faded, a young girl dressed in a long, emerald-green palace dress walked into the study.

Her bright, clear eyes blinked, her hair was tied in pigtails, her fair arms were crossed, and the corners of her mouth curved into a smile. She exuded the youthful energy of a young girl, yet also subtly revealed a mischievous and clever side.

"Yun'er, sit down."

Upon seeing the girl, Dai Tianling's worry lessened, replaced by a smile. He patted the chair beside him and said...

En Ci, who was standing to the side, smiled kindly upon seeing this scene. This clever and mischievous girl was none other than Princess Dai Yun'er of their Star Luo Empire.

Dai Tianling had a total of seventeen children, but only one daughter, Dai Yun'er. So, since Dai Yun'er was born, Dai Tianling had always doted on her. It can be said that Dai Yun'er was the apple of Dai Tianling's eye.

"Father, is Vice President Chang Gong alright?" Dai Yun'er sat down in the chair with practiced ease, her two fair and slender legs kicking back and forth as she asked curiously.

Dai Tianling said with a smile, "Of course it's alright. That Divine Craftsman is a reasonable person and didn't make things too difficult for Changgong Yan. He only asked for a tiny bit of rare metal."

"In that case, in my opinion, Father, you don't need to worry too much." Dai Yun'er's beautiful eyes darted around, and she chuckled.

"Oh? What makes you say that?" Dai Tianling asked, following her daughter's words.

Dai Yun'er placed her hands on her hips, swayed her head slightly, and said:

"First, the fact that President Chang Gong is unharmed is the best news. This allows us to continue our exchanges with the Federation. And when President Chang Gong returns, Father, you don't need to be too harsh on him. After all, he was set up by the Evil Soul Master. By not being harsh on President Chang Gong, you can show your care for your people..."

Secondly, the continent-wide tournament is about to begin, and the Federation will definitely not send troops; they will only focus their efforts on the tournament itself.

"Therefore, Father, you don't need to worry too much. Otherwise, if you get sick from getting angry, no one will buy me Gourd Artifact anymore..."

Listening to the analysis and the concern, Dai Tianling felt gratified, and her smile deepened. But when she heard the last sentence, her smile froze.

Well, so the focus was on the Gourd Artifact.

En Ci shook his head and smiled, but his eyes showed more appreciation for Dai Yun'er. The reason why Dai Yun'er was able to receive Dai Tianling's special care was not only because of her quirky personality.

Dai Tianling even once said that he wished Dai Yun'er were a boy.

"Yun'er, what you said is indeed correct," Dai Tianling tapped the table and turned to look at En Ci, "Teacher, how is Monster Academy's preparation for this continent-wide competition?"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that the students in this cohort are all exceptionally talented and have worked diligently in their training. They will certainly not disappoint Your Majesty's expectations," En Ci said slowly, his eyes gleaming.

"Hey, I believe in Madman Brother," Dai Yun'er said, waving her fist.

"Oh? Madman Brother?" Dai Tianling's eyes flickered slightly as he asked softly, "Is it Long Yue, the one with the Mountain Dragon Martial Soul?"

"Your Majesty, it is the Mountain Dragon King, not the Mountain Dragon," En Ci shook his head slightly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes. "After all, the Mountain Dragon must be king."

After being reminded by En Ci, Dai Tianling suddenly thought of the legends about the Mountain Dragon King. It was said that all Mountain Dragon were True Dragon and possessed the crown of a "king".

"Alright, whether we can defeat Shrek Academy depends on you teachers this time," Dai Tianling said with a warm smile.

Young Soul Master represent a nation's future potential. If the Star Luo Empire can defeat Shrek Academy, it will also make the ever-watchful Federation more wary.

After all, the overall combat strength of their Star Luo Empire is definitely not as good as that of the Federation, so they can only increase the Federation's wariness in order to protect themselves.

This is the only option we have.

If the Star Luo Empire were to actually clash with the Federation, the Star Luo Empire would be like an egg trying to break a rock.

"However, I've heard that Shrek Academy has an exchange student named Jiang Xiu who is also very strong, and he has even topped the Federation Youth Genius Ranking for several consecutive years. Teachers, you should pay close attention to him." As if remembering something, Dai Tianling said meaningfully.

"Jiang Xiu..." Upon hearing this, Dai Yun'er's beautiful eyes flashed with curiosity, and she couldn't help but murmur to herself.

"To have topped the Federation Youth Genius Ranking consecutive years, I wonder how he compares to Madman Brother? Probably a 50/50 split at best..."

"Your Majesty, time is also an advantage. Long Yue Jiang Xiu a few years later, and the next generation will be the one to Jiang Xiu. This stage belongs to Long Yue!"

En Ci words are imbued with unwavering resolve.

This is the strongest Monster Academy team in its history, and their best chance to defeat Shrek Academy. No matter what, Monster Academy must win this time!

"Report!"

Just then, a guard arrived with a secret letter and knelt outside the study.

"Father, I'm going to cultivate now. I also want to win glory for the country in the competition!" Upon seeing the imperial guards, Dai Yun'er stood up and waved her fist.

Dai Tianling smiled with relief, "Go ahead, and if you need anything, just tell Father. Oh, and don't eat too many Gourd Artifact!"

"Okay, okay," Dai Yun'er replied, and ran out of the study.

However, Dai Yun'er kept in mind what Dai Tianling had mentioned about Jiang Xiu, and planned to go back and learn more about him.

"Your Majesty, a letter has arrived from our spies within the Green Skull Organization." The guard entered the study, raised his hands above his head, and presented the secret letter.

Upon hearing the words "Green Skull," both Dai Tianling and En Ci's eyes narrowed slightly.

The Green Skull Organization is an Evil Soul Master organization active in the Star Luo Empire.

Since Dai Tianling took power, he has been suppressing and eliminating Evil Soul Master, and the Green Skull Organization has gradually declined as a result. However, the Evil Soul Master led the organization, who was at the Titled Douluo level, has been hiding and has never shown his face.

Dai Tianling opened the secret letter, his eyes quickly scanning it, but as he read on, his brows gradually furrowed.

"Teacher, according to our intelligence, it seems that Green Skull has already made contact with that organization."

En Ci took the secret letter, and after reading it, uttered a few words in a heavy tone. "The Holy Spirit Cult!"

The secret letter revealed that the atmosphere within the Green Skull Organization had been extremely strange recently, as if they were awaiting the arrival of a powerful Evil Soul Master.

And throughout the world, almost all powerful Evil Soul Master are members of the Holy Spirit Cult.

"Does this Green Skull Organization want to join the Holy Spirit Cult, or are they already members of the Holy Spirit Cult?" Dai Tianling asked in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, that's not important anymore. What we should be worried about now is whether the Evil Soul Master sent by the Holy Spirit Cult are the Four Great Dark Heavenly Kings or the two Emperors," En Ci said with extreme caution in his eyes.

He can handle the Four Heavenly Kings, but if the two emperors come and cause trouble, he probably won't be able to cope.

After all, the known Ghost Emperor is Quasi-God Limit Douluo, so the Underworld Emperor who has not yet appeared should not be much weaker.

"Teacher, you're overthinking it," Dai Tianling said with a smile, shaking her head.

"The strongest member of the Green Skull Organization is only Titled Douluo. How could they possibly attract those the Two Emperors to our Star Luo Empire? That's impossible."

"I hope so." En Ci nodded slightly. Although he also felt that the Underworld Emperor and the Ghost Emperor would not come to the Star Luo Empire for this reason, he had a bad feeling.

"By the way, teacher, how is Tong Yu doing now?" Suddenly, Dai Tianling remembered something and asked En Ci.

Their Star Luo Empire has two Limit Douluo: the one before them, En Ci, is one, and the other is a Qilin Douluo.

"Tong Yu..." En Ci's eyes showed a hint of melancholy, "He hasn't resolved his inner conflict yet."

"Still haven't resolved your inner conflict?" Dai Tianling narrowed his eyes slightly.

He knew quite a bit about this legendary Qilin Douluo.

The events of that year cannot be entirely Tong Yu on Tong Yu. While Tong Yu survived the pesticide poisoning and went away to study in order to prove himself, his mother found the girl Tong Yu had a crush on and asked her why she had sent people to harm Tong Yu.

Instead of answering Tong Yu's mother's question, the girl sent people to break both of Tong Yu's mother's legs.

When Tong Yu returned home, he discovered that his mother was paralyzed in both legs and had gone blind from crying all day long. She was only alive because of her longing for Tong Yu.

Not long after Tong Yu returned home, Tong Yu mother passed away. However, before she died, fearing that Tong Yu would be blinded by hatred, Tong Yu never told Tong Yu the reason for her paralysis.

But Tong Yu wasn't stupid. As he was about to become Titled Douluo, he immediately realized that his mother had been injured. So after fulfilling his filial duty to his mother, he began to investigate.

He later discovered that it was the girl he loved who had murdered his mother!

In that moment, overwhelmed by emotions, Tong Yu went on a killing spree, wiping out the girl's entire family except for one child.

After the killing, the honest Tong Yu turned himself in. Although he had broken through to the Limit Douluo over the years, he was left with a knot in his heart and would not step out of the Monster Academy.

These secrets are unknown to the general public; only a select few are aware of them.

Thinking of this, Dai Tianling sighed.

If Tong Yu wanted revenge, he should have come directly to him. No matter what, Tong Yu was in the right. Or he could have used a Nine Clans Stripping Technique to make the girl's family pay for their blood debt.

As the ruler of the Star Luo Empire, he was well aware of the value of a Limit Douluo, especially since the girl had attacked Tong Yu's mother first.

But now, the fact that a Limit Douluo is staying indoors all day is even making him sad.

In this world where strength reigns supreme, Tong Yu is probably the only Limit Douluo who can be bound by morality.

"Alas, if our ancestor Huo Yuhao had been able to return to his ancestral home back then, perhaps the Star Luo Empire wouldn't be in such a predicament now." Suddenly, Dai Tianling sighed with melancholy.

If Huo Yuhao could change "Huo" to "Dai," with Huo Yuhao's connection, the relationship between the Spirit Pagoda and the Tang Sect and their Star Luo Imperial Family would definitely be more harmonious.

Even the Sun Moon Empire wouldn't allow their Star Luo Empire to be driven onto this continent.

"Spirit Ice Douluo has the pride of a strong person. Back then, the Duke White Tiger treated him so badly. How could Spirit Ice Douluo change his surname?" En Ci shook his head slightly and said.

His relationship with Dai Tianling had long surpassed that of a ruler and his subject, not to mention that he was Dai Tianling's teacher. Neither Dai Tianling nor he had many taboos about such topics.

"Teacher, you're right. Huo Yuhao's ancestor was able to become a legend because he must have had his own pride."

Dai Tianling agreed.

"According to a secret passed down from our ancestors 20,000 years ago, it is said that after becoming a god, one can bring two people with them to ascend to the Divine Realm. Whether these two people are dead or alive, it is unknown which two people Huo Yuhao's ancestor brought with him..."

Then, Dai Tianling asked with some curiosity.

"In any case, there must be a powerful figure named ' Electrolux,' after all, he was the best teacher for Spirit Ice Douluo," En Ci said with absolute certainty.
