One Man's Strength Rivals a Ten-Thousand-Year Legacy!

"Brother Qingcang... is he really going to spar with Xuan Zi?" Huo Yuhao hesitated, watching Ye Qingcang and Xuan Zi walk towards Poseidon Lake. "And who exactly is this Xuan Zi?"

"Xuan Zi the head of the Shrek Inspection Corps." Ling Luochen walked over, supporting his waist. His Martial Soul had been retracted, and his hair had returned to its original black color. "He is also a Level 98 Title Douluo."

Since Ye Qingcang left, she was able to regain her freedom after the control was lifted. With Du Weilun and other teachers evacuating the Outer Court students, most of the Inner Court students following Xuan Zi to the vicinity of Poseidon Lake to watch the final result of the battle between Xuan Zi and Ye Qingcang, and Zhang Lexuan leading the school medical team and Dai Yueheng and a few others back to Poseidon Island, she, as a free person, temporarily lost her goal and stayed behind to take care of Ma Xiaotao, who was still in her eggshell, and also to see these interesting junior students.

Ling Luochen's words made Huo Yuhao's gaze sharpen.

This also elicited different reactions from Tang Ya, Bei Bei, Xiao Xiao, and others.

However, Jiang Nannan remained calm, and her composed reaction quickly stood out from the crowd of people who reacted differently but were all quite surprised, attracting Ling Luochen's attention.

"You don't seem worried about him being defeated by Xuan Zi, Miss Jiang Nannan..." Although the Sky Merchant Guild Sky Merchant Guild Commerce has a short history, it has developed rapidly, supporting industries in various sectors. As the daughter of a noble family, Ling Luochen is known as the "Snow Princess" by her hometown people, and naturally has heard about Jiang Nannan, the president of the Sky Merchant Guild of Commerce, from her elders. "Are you friends with him?"

"Rather than worrying that he will be defeated by Xuan Zi, I'm more concerned about how many trump cards he will use to achieve what kind of result..." Jiang Nannan shook her head. She was stunned the moment Ye Qingcang's identity as God Trial Taker was revealed. After carefully recalling their chat history, especially Ye Qingcang's repeated confirmation of the history from ten thousand years ago, she now understood why the two had not seen each other for ten years. It was also because of this that she understood Ye Qingcang's confidence. "As for friends... we are indeed friends for now. However, I like him and am thinking about how to pursue him."

If she's right...

If Ye Qingcang really was someone from ten thousand years ago...

Therefore, at this moment, Ye Qingcang at least has the strength to kill a Title Douluo head-on, or even a Super Douluo!

According to the history she consulted at the library.

The Slaughter King is very likely Tang Chen.

Because Yu Xiaogang's handwritten records repeatedly mention "Xiao San's oral account that his great-grandfather adopted the divine artifact to him" and "the Poseidon High Priestess turned white overnight," among other pieces of evidence that corroborate this viewpoint. According to the history of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Chen was a level 99 Limit Douluo at his peak. Regardless of who or when Ye Qingcang snatched his identity as a God Trial Taker, it means that Ye Qingcang has the ability to survive against Limit Douluo. According to the Shrek Academy's research and analysis of Limit Douluo throughout history, the gap between Limit Douluo and Super Douluo or ordinary Title Douluo is absolute. Although she doesn't know how many trump cards Ye Qingcang has, based on her knowledge: Xuan Zi cannot do anything to Ye Qingcang!

Not to mention that she and Ye Qingcang are friends.

He often listened to Ye Qingcang's advice.

The Sky Merchant Guild has grown to its current state thanks in no small part to her efforts, but the advice Ye Qingcang gave her should not be overlooked either.

Ye Qingcang always gave her the impression of being a man who planned things carefully before acting. He would rather play it safe than take a gamble than do anything without absolute certainty. But once he showed his fangs, the prey he had his eye on could only be slaughtered at his mercy.

Therefore, Ye Qingcang must have been confident that he could escape if he dared to come to see her.

Similarly, Ye Qingcang dared to come to the Shrek Academy because he must be certain that Shrek Academy couldn't handle him and that he could leave Shrek.

Worry?

How much must I distrust him to worry about him?

As for the confession that followed... it was also from the heart.

There's nothing to be ashamed of if you like something.

Say you like it openly and honestly.

Face it openly and honestly.

Either love wholeheartedly, or leave gracefully.

This is Jiang Nannan's attitude towards life, and it is also the result of her reading so many books given to her by Ye Qingcang, absorbing the values she gained from the books, and being influenced by Ye Qingcang's personal charm.

Although this result did seem somewhat arrogant and overconfident to Ling Luochen...

"However..." Ling Luochen confirmed Jiang Nannan's feelings for Ye Qingcang were genuine through these blindly arrogant words, because few would believe that a Four Ring Soul Grandmaster could fight a nine-ring Title Douluo to a draw, except for those with love-struck Love Brain: "In the face of absolute strength, he will ultimately face defeat!"

"Is this your attitude?" Jiang Nannan didn't take Ling Luochen's words to heart. Unconsciously, friendship seemed to have become a kind of honor, and she could always unconditionally trust Ye Qingcang: "He gave you guidance, and now you're pointing fingers at him?"

"No, that's not it!" Ling Luochen understood the difference between giving pointers and pointing fingers. He glanced at Jiang Nannan was now just Soul Ancestor, and announced, "I'm asking you mainly because I want to know about your relationship with him. Since you're neither boyfriend nor girlfriend, nor lovers, I naturally don't need to tell you my decision..."

"To put it bluntly, isn't it just that you want to pursue him?" A crack appeared in the eggshell not far away, and Ma Xiaotao burst forth like a raging fire, unstoppable. "You ice block, you never say things too clearly. If you want me to say it... Jiang Xuemei, both Ling Luochen and I are interested in your friend. Whether you're his girlfriend or not, since we like him, we're going to pursue him to the end!"

Ling Luochen's eye twitched slightly.

He snorted coldly, turned around, and walked towards the Poseidon Lake.

Ma Xiaotao's cheerful laughter rang out behind her.

But Ling Luochen still did not turn around.

In contrast to the icy beauty Ling Luochen, Ma Xiaotao was the outgoing, fiery, and voluptuous older sister type. At this moment, having just completed her Martial Soul transformation, her long dress, adorned with golden flames and phoenix feathers, made her appear breathtakingly beautiful. "Jiang Nannan, right? Mind adding me as an opponent?"

Huo Yuhao's expression was slightly strange.

The expressions on Bei Bei's, Tang Ya's, Wang Dong's, and Xiao Xiao's faces were indescribable.

There are no rivals for this kind of thing?

Why does it feel like a competition?

Before starting a battle, should you inform your opponent first?

"You're so naive, silly boy..." Sky Dream Ice Worm shared Huo Yuhao's vision, watching the towering blue waves on Poseidon Lake, and wagged its tail in Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Space: "This is the charm of God Trial Taker. Every God Trial Taker is a dragon among men, like a magnet that continuously attracts the iron blocks around them; if I were God Trial Taker, I wouldn't just dote on Bingbing alone, but also Snow Empress, Bi Ji, Zi JI, I would want them all, especially Bi Ji. Back then, her husband Di Tian captured me and let those Ferocious Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest devour my flesh. If it weren't for Bi Ji saving me every day, I would have bled to death long ago..."

"Brother Tianmeng, is there any possibility..." Huo Yuhao's blunt truth pierced Sky Dream Ice Worm's sensitive little heart. "That Bi Ji saved you precisely because she wanted you to survive. If you bled to death, how would her husband, Di Tian, divide you among himself?"

Sky Dream Ice Worm immediately became withdrawn after being criticized.

Because what Huo Yuhao said makes a lot of sense.

Bi Ji is Di Tian's companion.

It makes no sense for her to help him but not her own husband.

But that is to say, you don't have to say such truths again in the future!

That's so hurtful to my pride!

However, just as Sky Dream Ice Worm was whispering to Huo Yuhao, Jiang Nannan also came back to her senses from Ma Xiaotao's frank revelation. She hesitated for a moment, then rubbed her forehead and sighed helplessly, "In the end, it's just my unrequited love... As for who you like, that's your right, of course."

"Alright; I just wanted to let you know so you wouldn't be caught off guard." Ma Xiaotao waved her hand magnanimously, glanced in the direction of Poseidon Lake, lightly stepped forward, flapped her wings, and transformed into a streak of fiery red light, flying towards Poseidon Lake: "Then I'll be going now?"

Huo Yuhao and the others were speechless once again.

You've already flown away, what sincerity do you have in saying this?

Do you think you can fly back if we tell you not to leave?

The politeness couldn't be more obvious.

However, his frankness also makes people feel strangely at ease.

He looks not very bright. jpg

As for how much longer they have to wait here...

"Trust me, it's over." Sky Dream Ice Worm took out a wooden ruler and tapped Huo Yuhao's head in Huo Yuhao Spiritual Space. Anticipating Huo Yuhao's question, she explained in a nonchalant manner, "Soul Ancestor Soul Ancestor are not all the same, and Limit Douluo Limit Douluo are not all the same. These Limit Douluo in the human world today—no, I should say, these Title Douluo in the human world today—are simply not qualified to be compared to the Limit Douluo, Super Douluo, and ordinary Title Douluo of ten thousand years ago. Moreover, even if these Limit Douluo in the human world today don't use Soul Core to break through, they still can't contend with a High Priest of Deity. Don't be fooled by the fact that High Priest of Deity is also Limit Douluo; High Priest of Deity only needs one move, only a Sisi of divine power, to kill Limit Douluo who isn't a High Priest Deity Deity. Similarly, Lord Ye only needs to borrow a sliver of divine power to suppress this Xuan Zi, even if this Xuan Zi is Super Douluo ..."

"Divine power..." Huo Yuhao's fragile worldview was shattered. "A Sisi wisp of divine power can suppress a Super Douluo?"

"A divine weapon can even crush a person!" Sky Dream Ice Worm Silkworm, an ancient relic from the previous era, witnessed the Three Gods War in this world. Every time she talked about it, she was filled with longing and yearning. "The Poseidon Trident, the divine weapon in the hands of the Poseidon Tang San, weighs 108,000 jin. It is said that in the hands of an approved God Trial Taker, it only weighs 108 jin, but with the Poseidon Tang San's Soul Skill combined with his special halberd technique, he can make the Poseidon Trident weigh 1,080,000 jin; just imagine this weapon lying there, even if you were given it, you couldn't take it away. Yuhao, can you imagine, when something weighing 1,080,000 jin is smashed down on you, if you were Limit Douluo, would you be confident in catching this thing?"

Huo Yuhao was speechless.

Even if it weighed 108 pounds, he wouldn't be able to wield it properly with his current small arms and legs, let alone fight with such a weapon for a long time.

Move with ease and control, engage in prolonged battles.

Weightlifters can lift extremely heavy barbells.

But it was merely a lifting motion.

I can't treat those barbells as weapons.

"So, trust your judgment, brother..." Sky Dream Ice Worm looked in the direction of Poseidon Lake, and keenly sensed a Sisi divine power in the surging blue waves. "The battle is over..."

"A familiar yet strange power." In the Poseidon Pavilion on Poseidon Island, Mu En sat in a rocking chair, gazing at the hundred-foot-high blue waves above Poseidon Lake in the distance, no longer doubting. "Le Xuan, this old man has no doubt about what happened back then..."

"Mu En!" Zhang Lexuan lowered her eyes slightly. Having heard similar words countless times, she already knew what Mu En wanted to say, "I appreciate your kindness and good intentions, but since you saved me from the massacre of my entire family, I have entrusted my life to you. Whether Bei Bei likes me or not, I will not force it, but as your fiancé, since you have said so, I will definitely abide by this engagement. I know you feel sorry for me and have repeatedly stated that this engagement is invalid, but for me, it is just a promise!"

Mu En remained silent for a long time.

Until the waves on Poseidon Lake ceased.

He coughed twice, then sighed wearily, "How did you become like Shaozhe, thinking so much... How could I not know your temperament? Besides, as you said, I've advised you many times, but you've refused each time, so naturally I won't force you on this matter. However, this time when I went to the Outer Court, I not only saw the Outer Court students of the Shrek Academy, but also those two children, Bei Bei and Tang Ya. They say it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. Mutual affection is certainly wonderful, but some things must be decided decisively. Therefore, I want to give you a choice. Before, you had no choice, but now that you do, you can choose again..."

"You mean... Ye Qingcang?" Zhang Lexuan was stubborn, but she wasn't stupid. She could understand Bei Bei's attitude towards her. To put it bluntly, Bei Bei only saw her as an older sister and only liked Tang Ya. However, just like the condition she promised Mu En when she was a child, "Where I go is up to you, Mu En!"

"Since that's the case, I'll be selfish for once..." Seeing Xuan Zi return dejectedly, Mu En waved his hand, indicating that he should wait and talk later. He was currently talking to Zhang Lexuan, and then continued, "Throughout history, the appearance of every God Trial Taker has represented the beginning of an era. I don't know if Ye Qingcang can become the final winner. No one can say for sure, just as no one could have predicted that the Spirit Hall, which possessed two Deity, would lose. However, I believe that Ye Qingcang is a worthy friend. No matter when, it is always important to maintain a good relationship with a God Trial Taker. Therefore, I hope we can amend the engagement..."

"Uncle-Master, wait a minute!" Xuan, the Gluttonous Douluo who had just had his Soul Skill sealed by Ye Qingcang's Slaughter Domain and was brutally beaten by Ye Qingcang's Magnetic Field Martial Arts, interrupted Mu En, feeling aggrieved that Ye Qingcang had only used three moves instead of the promised three. He couldn't even unleash a single Soul Skill or receive any Gluttony Douluo. "You changed Le Xuan's engagement. Putting aside what about Bei Bei's side, and whether that kid will agree or not, just look at that Outer Court student Jiang Nannan. Aren't you just stirring up trouble in the middle?"

"Jiang Nannan?" Mu En looked at his junior apprentice, feeling a headache coming on. "Do you even know the difference between Jiang Nannan and Le Xuan?"

"Strength?"

"Age?"

"I think both of these girls are quite good-looking."

"It seems like there's nothing else."

Xuan Zi analyzed it without understanding why.

This successfully darkened Mu En's face. "Identity; although Jiang Nannan is an Outer Court student of the Shrek Academy, she is first and foremost Ye Qingcang's friend, then the president of the Sky Merchant Guild, and only lastly a student of the Shrek Academy. Shrek Academy is not her home. No matter how far she gets along with Ye Qingcang —whether she's a confidante with a regretful past, a lover in love, or one of Ye Qingcang's partners—she has no right to represent Shrek Academy in befriending Ye Qingcang. Only Le Xuan, the next and the next Sea God Pavilion Master, has the right to represent Shrek Academy in trying to befriend Ye Qingcang!"

"Huh?" Not only was Xuan Zi stunned, but Zhang Lexuan herself was also dumbfounded. "Mu En, didn't you say that only the person who defeats Ye Qingcang in a head-on battle will become the next Sea God Pavilion Master? I haven't even fought him yet!"

"It's enough that everyone else has lost before..." Mu En smiled like an old fox. However, even an old fox has his bottom line. "Le Xuan, from today onwards, you and I will no longer owe each other anything, and you no longer need to obey my orders. If Ye Qingcang is willing to accept this marriage, you will listen to him from now on. If Poseidon Pavilion Ye Qingcang refuses this marriage... you will still be the next next-next...

"Mu En..." Zhang Lexuan slowly knelt down and kowtowed three times.

"Go... you fool." Mu En waved his hand with his eyes closed, signaling Zhang Lexuan to leave. Only after Zhang Lexuan left in tears did he let out a long breath, calming his aggrieved emotions, and looked at his junior disciple. "Do you know what divine position he holds?"

"It's likely Asura." Xuan Zi thought carefully about the Domain he had just encountered, "What he possesses should be a Domain of the God of Slaughter Domain, similar to the Slaughter Domain described in the book, both capable of sealing Soul Skill."

"Asura?" Inside the Golden Tree, only Mu En's long sigh remained, "If it is Asura, then it means that fate is still on our side, favoring Shrek Academy... One person's strength can be worth ten thousand years of foundation, this is the God Trial Taker, truly enviable; the ancestors of the Shrek Academy, this path has already been prepared, whether successful or not, Mu En has done his best!"

"Uncle-Master... you?"

Xuan Zi seemed to realize something and was startled.

But he was interrupted by Mu En's gesture to silence him.

"Long, no more than twenty years." Mu En's eyes were full of composure, as if he wasn't referring to his own lifespan. "The Sun Moon Empire is stirring, and war is inevitable. Whether Shrek Academy can survive this war, which will break out in no more than fifty years, depends on whether there are any Limit Douluo or stronger Limit Douluo. If there are, then we can rest easy..."

As for no...

As it turned out, both people in the room knew...

There's no need to mention this unlucky answer.
