Douluo Continent, Main Timeline.
A brand-new day dawned, and the competition began again. This time, however, Shrek Academy were only spectators.
When Tang San and the others arrived at the competition venue to watch Heaven Dou Team's match, the Live Broadcast Room lit up once more.
A gigantic screen shrouded the entire sky.
Countless people looked up.
The Soul Saint Brothers sat down, then said with a hint of surprise,
"Xiaogang, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to see you again."
"Ah, congratulations on your victory yesterday."
Though Yu Xiaogang was being congratulated, his expression was utterly awkward.
The three brothers had taken turns mocking him yesterday.
[The live broadcast has begun again. This time, the protagonists are still the leads from the two universes: Tang San and Ye Tianyun.] [Picking up where we left off, after Tang San was injured, he rested for two days. Meanwhile, Ye Tianyun headed to the Balak Kingdom during that time, intending to study at an intermediate-level Soul Master Academy.] [Following his teacher's recommendation, Tang San also planned to attend Rogue... ahem, Shrek Academy after graduating.]
???
The students of the former Blue Lightning Academy, now Shrek Academy, were all dumbfounded.
What had they just heard? Rogue... Shrek Academy was a Rogue Academy? Was that for real?
The Soul Saint Brothers were the first to stare blankly. Then they burst out laughing.
"A Rogue Academy?"
"Do they like to act like thugs?"
Flender's face reddened with rage. He pointed at the sky and shouted furiously,
"Slander! This is blatant slander! How could the Shrek Academy I lead possibly be a Rogue Academy?"
Liu Erlong, however, seemed thoughtful as she studied the Shrek Seven Devils, then finally settled her gaze on Ma Hongjun.
Could it be that kid?
Ma Hongjun panicked and defended himself.
"Dean, I'm just an ordinary person. How could I represent the academy?"
Liu Erlong thought that made sense. She began looking between Flender and Yu Xiaogang, trying to figure out which one of them had led Shrek Academy astray.
At any rate, it definitely wasn't the Live Broadcast Room making things up.
[At last, Tang San reached his graduation year, and his Soul Power Level successfully reached twenty-nine. He was just one step away from becoming a Soul Elder.] [In the final six months, Tang San had advanced only two levels, while Ye Tianyun had advanced three and a half, successfully reaching level twenty-five.] [With the 2.0 version of the Guidance Method, Ye Tianyun had already surpassed Tang San in cultivation speed, and the same was true of their talents.]
Tang San's expression darkened. This Live Broadcast Room was definitely targeting him on purpose.
What did it mean, his talent and cultivation speed had been surpassed?
Could it stop using him as a foil?
Liu Erlong noticed Tang San's unhappy expression and comforted him.
"Xiao San, that's another version of you. There's no need to worry at all. You're outstanding in our world—absolutely a heaven-blessed genius."
Only then did Tang San nod. He reassured himself that he was a heaven-blessed genius.
But clearly, the Live Broadcast Room wasn't going to let Tang San off the hook.
[Ye Tianyun's cultivation talent has already surpassed that of Tang San in both timelines. That's the advantage of the 2.0 version of the Guidance Method.]
"..."
Now it had thoroughly put him down.
The Live Broadcast Room's footage continued.
[Tang San arrived in Suotuo City. Along the way, he encountered Dai Mubai, one of the future Shrek Seven Devils, and they got into a dispute that erupted into a fight.]
The Live Broadcast Room thoughtfully showed the fight.
Nearby, Zhu Zhuqing's expression darkened. Dai Mubai was hugging two twin sisters, one in each arm.
Dai Mubai's face changed, too. He hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
"They were the ones who tried to seduce me first. I did my best to get away, but..."
He couldn't finish. How could he explain it?
He'd tried his best to get away, but in the end, he still couldn't resist the temptation and had a wild time with the twins.
The footage in the Live Broadcast Room shifted.
Tang San and Xiao Wu were resting; Dai Mubai and the twin sisters were... doing things that couldn't be described.
Parallel Timeline.
Ye Tianyun covered his eyes. With footage like that, the novel would definitely get rejected by the censors, right? It was too painful to look at.
Zhu Zhuqing remained expressionless. Many years ago, she had already abandoned Dai Mubai and joined Ye Tianyun, becoming a loyal and capable subordinate of His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor.
Main Timeline.
Seeing this, countless people grew interested and watched with relish.
Even with the censoring, it was still quite a show.
"I, Dai Mubai, am pretty impressive."
Dai Mubai's voice even came from the Live Broadcast Room.
Countless people turned to look at Dai Mubai in unison.
They'd never imagined Dai Mubai was so wild, and he still had the nerve to say he was pretty...
Dai Mubai's face turned crimson with shame. How humiliating.
The Soul Saint Brothers mocked him even more.
"What a shameless guy. Praising himself, of all things. That reminds me of the toothpick I use to pick my teeth."
"Heh. A toothpick."
Zhu Zhuqing finally couldn't take it anymore. She turned and stormed off, furious. She'd only heard rumors that Dai Mubai was chasing women; seeing it for herself made her furious.
"Scumbag."
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu both cursed Dai Mubai. He was nothing but a scumbag.
Dai Mubai was furious, but he didn't dare fight back. Ning Rongrong was the eldest young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, while Xiao Wu's boyfriend, Tang San, was the protagonist. He couldn't afford to offend them.
How could he inherit the throne if he did?
How could Liu Erlong tolerate a scumbag like that? She pointed at Dai Mubai and shouted,
"It must have been you who led Shrek Academy astray! No wonder people call it a Rogue Academy. Twins, huh? You really get around!"
Flender was terribly embarrassed. He had indulged Dai Mubai, since Dai Mubai had invested in the academy.
Still, he felt relieved. Shrek being called a Rogue Academy wasn't because of him.
Star Luo Empire.
The emperor's face turned crimson at the sight. This was his son, after all, and the civil and military officials were all around him.
"Damn it! That brat never cultivates properly. He only knows how to carouse!"
The officials around him grumbled to themselves. This twisted system of succession to the throne wasn't even as good as Xuanwu Gate. What was wrong with carousing?
Cultivation was so grueling. Was he not allowed to enjoy himself for once?
Dai Mubai was furious, too. He pointed at the Live Broadcast Room and shouted,
"You idiot! What gives you the right to show me? Believe me, I'll kill you!"
Dai Mubai was the first to yell at the Live Broadcast Room like that, threatening to kill it.
How could the Live Broadcast Room let him off?
Rumble...
A thunderclap rang out from a clear sky. Endless lightning enveloped the entire competition venue, striking everyone there.
[This is a warning. You completed the Hundred-Person Slayer and spent three years seducing hundreds of women. You're a good-for-nothing, and you still have the nerve to curse the Live Broadcast Room? If there's a next time, your Martial Soul will be destroyed.]
Dai Mubai writhed on the ground, instantly cowed.
The people around him were on the verge of tears.
Tang San: "..."
No, Dai Mubai cursed you. Why punish all of us? That lightning sure packed a punch.
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, relieved that he hadn't cursed the Live Broadcast Room. He'd nearly lost control earlier.
The Soul Saints next to him had all been struck, and were still twitching from the shock.
[Now, let's continue the live broadcast of Ye Tianyun and Tang San's school lives.]
Before you continue
