Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Outside Shrek City, at the eastern city gate, the weary Spirit Hall members finally arrived outside the city before the sun sank below the horizon, surveying the bustling and prosperous city.

Titled Douluo possess the ability to fly.

Its speed is naturally top-notch.

Although it cannot compare to Ye Qingcang's teleportation, Title Douluo undoubtedly has more advantages compared to those Soul Master who use Flying Soul Tool.

In terms of speed.

Regarding battery life.

In terms of altitude.

There are significant differences between them.

The flight ability that a Title Douluo possesses is not something that just any Soul Tool can replicate. Even Tier 9 Soul Tool's maximum speed is at most equivalent to the speed of an ordinary Title Douluo in flight.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes a lot of sense.

If Soul Tool were truly that powerful, who in this world would still painstakingly cultivate and persevere on the path of Soul Master?

If Soul Tool could truly create or reproduce on their own, like the machine crisis depicted in many movies, under the rule of the initial machine Goddess of Life form, they would control factories, create other robots belonging to this machine Goddess of Life's rule, and implant lower-level machine Goddess of Life forms into them. Using these as templates, they would expand rapidly and even develop to the point of replacing Soul Master. At that time, it would probably not just be a survival crisis for Soul Master, but a survival crisis for all mankind, a common survival crisis for all flesh and blood species!

This civilization should no longer be called human civilization.

It could be called an intelligent mechanical civilization, or some other kind of civilization.

The term "mechanical civilization" is merely the name that human civilization uses for this new civilization. However, for the victors, their civilization will be defined by themselves, just as human civilization defines prehistoric civilization. The name of dinosaurs should not be defined by humans.

Not to mention that Soul Tool have a fatal flaw.

As long as the characteristic of "Soul Power driving" is not eliminated.

Even the most powerful Soul Tool is ultimately just scrap metal.

Of all things, people are the foundation.

This is the correct way of thinking.

It is a rare shared understanding between emotion and reason from a human perspective.

Therefore, the Soul Tool system can never truly supersede the Soul Master system. At least until the creation of intelligent mechanical Goddess of Life, Soul Tool can only serve as tools to assist Soul Master or Soul Tool Master.

So, it takes two days.

It spans almost half the continent.

For a Title Douluo, as long as the speed of Soul Power recovery can keep up with the speed of Soul Power consumption, there is more than enough time.

"Teacher." Early on the third day, having confirmed the approximate time with Bibidong, Hu Liena, who had been waiting at the city gate for some time, happily stepped forward. Of course, while greeting Bibidong, she didn't forget the Ghost Douluo and his companions behind Bibidong: "Ghost Grandpa, Chrysanthemum Grandpa, and all the elders and seniors, you've had a long journey. A banquet has been prepared in the city, just waiting for your arrival to welcome you. Please don't stand on ceremony... Speaking of which, there's some intelligence I've gathered these past few days, including the various disturbances within the city. I plan to share it with you all at the upcoming banquet. Would you all be willing to join me?"

"Since Na Na has said so, Old Ghost and I will naturally give her face..." Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan habitually made a delicate gesture with her pinky finger, pointing at the Ghostly Gui Mei beside her. Her alluring demeanor made the female Luan Douluo beside her frown slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, and she secretly took a step back. However, Yue Guan didn't notice. "Old Ghost, Na Na is doing this out of kindness, you wouldn't refuse, would you?"

Ghost Douluo Gui Mei at Yue Guan.

Continue to remain silent.

However, not denying it means admitting it.

Knowing Gui Mei's temper well, Yue Guan immediately laughed.

The ambiguous laughter made other passersby at the city gate frown.

Looking in the direction of the sound.

I saw the golden armor and jewels on Yue Guan's body.

Also, the attire of the people beside Yue Guan.

Only then did they all turn their gaze away.

He touched the goosebumps on his arms or his back, quickened his pace, not wanting to be targeted by this Soul Master who looked like a eunuch.

In other words, Yue Guan was unaware of what these passersby were thinking.

Otherwise, you'll definitely be furious.

Compared to the unreliable Yue Guan, Qingluan Douluo was very composed.

First, she nodded to Bibidong, indicating that they didn't need to pay attention to the opinions of the Worship Hall. Then, she picked up the topic that Yue Guan had veered off course. "So, if I understand correctly, quite a few things seem to have happened in Shrek City during the two days that we and His Holiness the Pope late?"

Hu Liena nodded, without denying it.

But he didn't say it in public.

Even though she knew that the titled Douluo and her teacher present would definitely use their Soul Power to create a temporary soundproof barrier, the matter was already done in secret, and some situations were indeed not suitable to be discussed in public.

If Bibidong and the others do not want to attend the banquet.

It's fine if she says something later.

"Alright, let's go take a look." Bibidong, who had been staring at the sky for a moment, at the pillar of faith that was impossible for ordinary people to see, finally snapped out of her reverie. She thoughtfully withdrew her gaze and instructed Gui Mei, Yue Guan, Demon Bear, Spirit Kite, and the others behind her, "Don't act on your own. The situation in the city is a bit complicated..."

"Clear."

Gui Mei and the others nodded in agreement.

In fact, even if Bibidong hadn't said anything, they wouldn't have acted rashly, because they had already sensed the diverse and varied atmosphere within the city.

Upon careful counting, a preliminary estimate suggests there are more than twenty Title Douluo.

As for how many of these twenty or more Title Douluo are Super Douluo and how many are Limit Douluo, they cannot sense it yet. The distance is too far. The walls of Shrek City are also quite interesting; the materials used seem to be able to isolate some of their senses.

Anyway, the fact that there is a level 99 Limit Douluo and God Trial Taker in charge is known information and does not need to be repeatedly verified.

They're not tired of living yet.

If you don't want to get caught, don't be alone.

Besides, Shrek Academy's trump card is indeed a level 99 Limit Douluo and God Trial Taker, but no one stipulates that Shrek Academy must only have this one card. If a Level 98 Super Douluo or a level 97 Super Douluo suddenly appears, it makes sense if you think about it carefully.

It's perfectly reasonable for a bunch of titled Douluo to suddenly appear.

This is not the territory of the Spirit Hall.

In life and in business, being cautious is never a bad thing.

"Your His Holiness the Pope, please rest assured."

This is Qingluan Douluo's answer.

Guang Ling has been replaced by Azure Luan.

In fact, everyone in this Spirit Hall team knows that the troublemaker is Guang Ling, and the only person who can control Guang Ling is Qingluan Douluo. Even with Bibidong, Guang Ling only outwardly obeys but inwardly disobeys.

Therefore, Azure Luan's solo response was also a way of implying to Bibidong: Don't worry, Guang Ling is in my hands, it won't cause any trouble.

This is more effective than Guang Ling's own answer.

Behind Hu Liena.

There was also a teenage girl.

He was one of the members of the Spirit Hall Spirit Hall Academy Team delegation to the Shrek Academy. Martial Soul a support-type Soul Ancestor with the Gold Bird Spirit and was accompanying Hu Liena to provide support.

This was also to prevent some inconsiderate people from disturbing or even harassing Hu Liena while she was waiting for Bibidong and Hu Liena group.

Enter through the east gate of Shrek City.

What you see is a straight, long road.

They grew so long that they could walk all the way from the city gate to the Shrek Academy.

There are currently four such roads in Shrek City.

One each in the east, west, south, and north.

These correspond to the four city gates respectively.

However, Shrek Academy does not have four doors.

Shrek Academy has only two doors.

One is the front gate, and the other is the back gate.

The back door is not frequently used. In the more than 7,000 years since the current Shrek Academy was built, this back door has been opened 37 times. Each time it was opened, it was because the Shrek Inspection Corps launched a large-scale crackdown on Evil Spirit Master. Since the Shrek Inspection Corps was filled by students from the Inner Court of the Shrek Academy, it is not unreasonable to say that it was an expedition by the Shrek Inner Court. According to the comprehensive data of these 37 expeditions, the average number of people on each expedition was 736, and the fewest expeditions had more than 570 people. In addition, there was always a titled Douluo in charge. In the expedition with the largest number of people, three titled Douluo were directly dispatched. Soul Douluo and Soul Saint level teachers are not included, because in terms of the Inner Court power of the Shrek Academy, some outstanding students are already Soul Saint.

Almost every generation has such Heaven's Chosen.

Under thirty, or even under twenty-five.

That is, Soul Saint or Soul Douluo.

This generation also has it.

Zhang Lexuan, Ma Xiaotao.

Moreover, Ling Luochen, Martial Soul also upgraded to the Ultimate Ice after losing the plaque last time, is now showing signs of becoming a rising star. It's possible that his previous accumulation was suddenly released after his Martial Soul sublimated, because his Martial Soul can withstand further improvement. In the past six months, Ling Luochen has jumped four levels to become a level 62 Soul Emperor, directly crushing Gongyang Mo and others. If we include the automatic improvement after the Martial Soul sublimation, Ling Luochen has essentially jumped from level 56 to level 62 in half a year, gaining six levels of Soul Power.

Ma Xiaotao, who was aiming for level 71, went there.

Currently, only Dai Yueheng, a level 63 Soul Emperor, can rival Ling Luochen in terms of Soul Power. However, due to the difference in Martial Soul, a simple White Tiger is definitely no match for the Ultimate Ice, unless it is the Hell White Tiger. Therefore, Ling Luochen's combat strength in the team is actually second, which fully proves that Soul Power is not everything.

Of course, this intelligence is not important.

Hu Liena collected this intelligence because Ma Xiaotao and the others were about the same age as her. Ye Qingcang sixteen this year, she was nineteen, and Ma Xiaotao was twenty. She didn't know about Ling Luochen, but they were all from the same generation. As long as they didn't die young, the future continent and the future world would definitely be stirred up by them, and they would vie for control of many things. It was understandable that she paid attention to them in advance, just like she was paying attention to Xu Jiujiu and the others.

Bibidong didn't care about this intelligence, nor did Ye Qingcang, Qingluan Douluo, Guang Ling Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and the others. Firstly, they knew that geniuses who hadn't fully matured were no different from ordinary people. Unless a genius emerged who could rival a Title Douluo, geniuses were merely the basics for them. Secondly, their vision was broader. Including Qingluan Douluo, the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall knew who their future enemy was the moment they obtained the Soul Core Method: Poseidon Tang San. They didn't back down because of this; instead, they dared to come to this realm to exert pressure, clearly determined to Poseidon Tang San. Since they weren't even afraid of Deity, why would they focus their attention on these geniuses who hadn't yet matured, let alone the apprehension some petty people might have?

Therefore, it cannot be said that Hu Liena's efforts were in vain.

It's fair to say that it's not very effective.

However, Hu Liena was also aware of this.

Just as she subconsciously categorized Ye Qingcang into the same group as Bibidong, Tang Chen, Qian Daoliu, and Ye Qingcang Mu En Ye Qingcang than her, his strength did indeed seem to be a case of overwhelming power.

Those who are half a step ahead of ordinary people are talented.

A genius is someone who is half a step ahead of others.

A madman is one who is half a step ahead of a genius.

The one who's way ahead of the madman is the wall-hungry one.

In life, it's best not to compare yourself to someone who's unlucky.

To avoid an unstable mindset and doubt about life.

Therefore, after traversing this long, straight road and reaching the circular roundabout at its end Shrek Academy, situated in the center of this massive roundabout, was only partially revealed. The academy gate, which could only be seen by walking along the roundabout, appeared to be quite far away.

Fortunately, Bibidong and the others were in excellent physical condition.

They are all titled Douluo.

We walked and stopped frequently to look around.

This was also an opportunity to see the actual situation in Shrek City and try to gain more leverage in the upcoming negotiations. With Hu Liena 'Hu Liena explanation and understanding, as she had scouted the area over the past two days and strolled around the streets to learn more about the place, she also inquired about the living conditions of the people, current prices, and their perception of the Shrek Academy.

Therefore, Bibidong and the others did not find it boring.

Especially the Guang Ling Douluo.

He possesses the secret to maintaining his youthful appearance, thanks to his title Douluo.

Taking advantage of his short stature.

When he sees something interesting or something he's never seen before, he shows no airs of a Title Douluo whatsoever, and even throws away his pride, haggling with people over there. If Qingluan Douluo hadn't taken him away, their travel speed would have been even slower.

Fortunately, Ye Qingcang and the others were not in a hurry.

Otherwise, if something urgent really happens, I'm afraid I'll be worried to death.

However, on the other hand, the Spirit Hall's dragging their feet was also partly due to Hu Liena telling Ye Qingcang that he wasn't in a hurry.

Guang Ling Douluo does have a playful side.

However, he can still distinguish between public and private matters.

As for Ye Qingcang...

"I hope you can receive this signal... If you can decipher it, that would be even better." In a renowned century-old restaurant, which he had booked the entire place, Ye Qingcang leisurely sipped his tea, looking out the window at the Shrek Academy in the distance. "With so many Title Douluo flooding in, if we're not prepared, it's easy to make things worse and get ourselves into trouble!"
