Sasuke, Toneri

Meanwhile, in Spirit City!

Yue Guan brought back a 15-year-old boy named Sasuke from the outside, whose martial soul was his eyes.

After meeting Bibi Dong, Sasuke directly joined the Spirit Hall Team.

A few days later, Ning Fengzhi brought two men and a woman to meet Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

They were Chen Jian, an outstanding disciple of the Seven Kill Sword Sect—an affiliated sect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—who was 16 years old, rank 44, with a Seven Kill Sword martial soul.

Along with Naruto (15 years old, rank 42, Fox martial soul) and Hinata (15 years old, rank 37, Eye martial soul), who were newly enrolled at Nine Treasures Academy.

Seeing such formidable teammates, Ning Rongrong immediately took up her brush and wrote a letter filled with trash talk, sending it off to Shrek Academy.

Half a month later, Tang San saw the letter and almost vomited blood from anger. He immediately took up his brush to reply, engaging in a long-distance verbal sparring match with Ning Rongrong.

Yet how could Tang San, an ancient otaku, possibly be a match for Ning Rongrong? After a few rounds, he was chewed out by Ning Rongrong until he was completely speechless, leaving him with no choice but to consult the teachers and students of Shrek together to brainstorm retorts.

Yet across the entire continent, barely a soul could best Ning Rongrong in a verbal battle—the undisputed king of trash talk and master of sarcasm.

Therefore, even with all of Shrek's teachers and students combined, they still couldn't out-scold her.

Moreover, after Ning Rongrong discovered that everyone else had joined in as well, her subsequent letters simply lashed out at everyone at once.

After a few back-and-forths, realizing he couldn't win the shouting match, Tang San simply stopped replying. Yet Ning Rongrong, left without a reply, ended up having even more fun ripping into them.

Tang San was so enraged that he directly suffered a deviation during his cultivation, coughing up half a liter of fresh blood, while Grandmaster's mouth twisted in fury, nearly giving him gout.

Unable to take it anymore, Tang San was forced to resume his replies.

At this point in Tang San's dreams, Ning Rongrong had already died an untold number of times.

Yet under this peculiar motivation from Ning Rongrong, the cultivation atmosphere throughout the entirety of Shrek became intensely fierce.

Even Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire was inexplicably suppressed to some extent.

Su He watched with great amusement, genuinely wanting to give the two of them a telephone each so they could hurl abuse at each other directly.

If he did, Ning Rongrong would probably be able to curse for eight hours a day.

If cultivation on Douluo Continent relied on scolding power rather than Soul Power, Ning Rongrong would undoubtedly have a promising path to becoming a god.

Several months passed in this fashion.

Skywater Academy!

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, a pair of sisters, took advantage of their leisure time to leave Skywater City and came to a coastal cliff to catch the breeze.

The sea breeze brushed against their faces carrying a faint, salty dampness, blowing away the vexations in their hearts.

Shui Yue'er turned her head to look at her sister and smilingly suggested, "Sister, let's go swimming. It's been so long since we last went into the sea."

Shui Bing'er nodded, a long-absent smile appearing on her cold and aloof face: "Alright."

The two of them walked slowly down the path beside the cliff, soon arriving at the seaside.

This coastline was extremely remote, with very few boats passing by on ordinary days and hardly any human presence, making it exceptionally quiet.

After changing into their swimwear, the sisters leaped into the sea together. The cool seawater enveloped their bodies, refreshing their minds and spirits.

Suddenly, Shui Bing'er, who was swimming underwater, had her attention caught by a black stone. That stone lay quietly on the seabed, possessing a peculiar shape that gave her a sense of déjà vu.

Shui Bing'er slowly swam forward, carefully inspecting it for a moment, vaguely feeling in the back of her mind that she should have seen this thing before, yet she simply couldn't remember.

Coinciding with the need to catch her breath, she turned and swam back to the surface.

"Sister, what were you looking at just now? You were so engrossed."

Shui Yue'er, who had also surfaced to breathe, looked at Shui Bing'er and asked with curiosity.

Shui Bing'er shook her head: "It's nothing. I just felt that black stone looked a bit familiar, as if I'd seen it somewhere before."

Shui Yue'er smiled and casually remarked, "Hehe, I think so too. That stone you were looking at just now looks kind of like the edge of a giant pillar."

A thought stirred in Shui Bing'er's heart, and she muttered to herself, "A pillar?"

She hurriedly grabbed Shui Yue'er's hand and said urgently, "Sister, let's go take another look. There might be something to discover!"

With that, the two of them dove back into the water, quickly arriving before that black stone. After observing it carefully once more, they returned to the surface.

Shui Bing'er's eyes were filled with gravity as she spoke: "It really does look like a pillar. No wonder I thought it looked familiar."

Shui Yue'er nodded, speaking with an innocent expression: "Mhm, it looks a lot like the R'lyeh ruins from the Ultraman Tiga World!"

Shui Bing'er had just wanted to say it resembled the pillars of some large-scale buildings, but upon hearing Shui Yue'er's words, she froze completely. Thinking back carefully, the outline of that stone indeed bore a striking resemblance to the edges of the pillars in the R'lyeh ruins.

Could it really be a part of the R'lyeh ruins?

Before she could speak, Shui Yue'er used a cute tone to say, "Sister, do you think this could be the R'lyeh ruins sucked over by a Space-Time Vortex?"

Shui Bing'er quickly interrupted her, a hint of tension in her tone: "You jinx, say less! The R'lyeh ruins are the place where Gatanthor is sealed. Let's hurry back and report this matter to Father so he can make the decision."

Shui Yue'er also realized the gravity of the situation and nodded hurriedly: "Alright, let's head back immediately."

As the two of them were changing their clothes, Shui Yue'er pulled a strange object out from her garments.

She turned to look at Shui Bing'er and asked in bewilderment, "Sister, is this your thing?"

Shui Bing'er turned her gaze over and shook her head: "It's not mine. But I have one here too; I thought it was your thing."

With that, she retrieved an identical object to the one in Shui Yue'er's hand from inside her robes—it was precisely a Digivice.

"Never mind, we can examine it closely later. The most urgent priority is to report this matter to Father."

At the same time, Yu Tianheng, who had just finished working out, returned to his room and found a Digivice placed on his table.

Oscar, who sold sausages, also discovered a Digivice from inside his little cart.

In a small mountain village within the Sun-Moon Empire.

The older brother Tai and younger sister Kari picked up two Digivices while gathering tree fruits.

Soon, the two of them returned home.

Their father, Shui Tianyun, was the lord of Skywater City as well as a marquess of the Heaven Dou Empire. Skywater Academy was established by the Shui Family, and in terms of strength, it was not inferior to the Four Single-Attribute Clans and the Lower Four Sects.

At this moment, Shui Tianyun was drinking tea and chatting leisurely with his two wives—meaning the mothers of Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er—creating a warm atmosphere.

It had to be said, this scene would undoubtedly evoke envy from countless people; this Shui Tianyun was definitely a winner in life.

After listening to the report from his two daughters, Shui Tianyun's expression instantly turned solemn, and he immediately had the two of them lead him to the seaside for an inspection.

The next day, Shui Tianyun inspected it once more with a bishop of Spirit Hall, and then reported the matter upward.

News quickly spread to Heaven Dou City and Spirit City.

Half a month later, the second planetary conference was convened in Heaven Dou City.

After much deliberation, everyone decided that Spirit Hall would dispatch four Titled Douluos, Sea God Island would dispatch two Titled Douluos, the Star Dou Great Forest would dispatch two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, the Far North would dispatch one Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, alongside a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast from the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan, to be stationed in Skywater City, sealing off the area around the R'lyeh ruins and forbidding anyone from entering.

This was to prevent anyone from intentionally waking the Evil God.

Just as they were guarding against the awakening of Gatanthor, this news also began to spread to other parts of Douluo Star.

The believers, who had previously grown somewhat lax, instantly regained their motivation to pray.

Truly encouraging! Truly encouraging!

Just as everyone was exerting their full effort to guard against the awakening of Gatanthor, on the surface of the moon, the cracks left behind by Suranos's earlier attack quietly widened by another fraction.

On the lunar surface, a person with pure white pupils stood beside the gigantic eyeball, staring intently at Douluo Star.

"Endless wars, conflicts, oppression, slaughter... What a truly failed world this is!"

"Let me destroy this sinful world!"
