Attacked on the return voyage
The True Dragon skeletons in the Dragon Valley Small World had long been collected by Gu Yuena and the others.
Some of the particularly damaged ones were buried in the ground, while the few intact ones were gathered together. Although these True Dragon, who had cultivated to a high level in life, could not retain their full intelligence like the Mountain Dragon King, they still had the potential to be revived. Gu Yuena looked forward to them fighting for her again in the future.
Meeting is wonderful, but the day of parting will eventually come.
Gu Yuena still needs to recover her strength here.
Di Tian, Zi JI, Bi Ji, and the Myriad Demon King, among others, still need time to break through their cultivation levels using this world unaffected by the laws of the Douluo Continent.
The Mountain Dragon King was not fully resurrected.
They need to stay here.
"Na'er, cultivate well here. Take care. Your brother will be waiting for you to come back."
"Yes. Brother, you must wait for Na'er! As soon as Na'er has completed her cultivation, she will come to find you!"
Jiang Mingyuan left the Dragon Valley Small World and returned to Star Luo City.
Although he had met with Cai Yue'er, Zhuo Shi, and others before leaving, saying that he wanted to go out and gain experience on his own, and had received their consent, his departure of more than 20 days still caused many people to worry about him.
Tang Wulin lost his appetite and sat by the window day and night, hoping for Jiang Mingyuan's return.
The exchange between the two continents began in Star Luo City. The Douluo Continent delegation did not linger there. Led by Foreign Minister Sima Lanxiao, the group traveled to major cities across the Douluo Continent, experiencing different customs and cultures.
Several dangerous incidents occurred along the way, such as an attack by a terrorist organization called the Green Skull, and a secret interrogation by the Star Luo Empire.
The exchange lasted for nearly two years. During this time, Emperor Dai Tianling of the Star Luo Empire seemed to have become a different person. His former heroic and dashing demeanor was gone, and he became quite decadent. He even increased taxes in various places in order to have fun.
The once-respected imperial advisor has greatly diminished in power.
Two promising young men who could have shouldered the future of the empire—one became a cripple, and the other left to follow the enemy.
His most beloved daughter also disappeared for a long time and was eventually declared dead.
No one could accept such a blow.
On the return journey, Jiang Mingyuan and Tang Wulin stood at the bow of the giant ship, each holding a glass of wine. The low-alcohol fruit drinks were sweet and refreshing, and as they went down their throats, the cool sea breeze caressed their faces, creating a uniquely pleasant experience.
"Brother Yuan, do you think our classmates will be surprised by our cultivation levels when we go back this time?"
In the past two years Tang Wulin not only did not slow down his cultivation due to his schedule, but also reached an astonishing level of fifty-nine under the impetus of some fortuitous opportunities.
Jiang Mingyuan still maintained a lazy demeanor, but his cultivation level had already reached level 74. Now, even if he didn't cultivate, the Phoenix God Core would still push his cultivation level up.
"Wow! I finally caught a fish!"
Two aircrew members stood quietly on the port side of the giant ship. Mu Ye planned to take advantage of this rare opportunity to go to sea and stock up on some top-quality deep-sea delicacies. He would show them to Zhen Hua when they returned to the Douluo Continent.
The person standing next to Mu Ye, whose fishing rod hadn't moved at all for two whole days, was Tong Yu.
While the delegation remained on the Star Luo Continent, he seized every opportunity to write down his cultivation experiences in a booklet and served as a teacher at the Monster Academy, never having a moment to spare. He did his utmost to repay the school and teachers for their kindness in educating him.
The two-year period has ended.
He arrived at a large willow tree next to the Monster Academy dormitory building. Looking at Enci, who was lying on a deck chair leisurely basking in the sun and no longer had the imposing En Ci of his former imperial advisor, he bowed deeply to his mentor and bid him farewell.
"Teacher, I'm going to the Douluo Continent. I want to personally settle what happened back then. If I survive, I will protect Tang Wulin until my cultivation is insufficient to protect him. At that time, I will return to the Star Luo Continent, back to the Monster Academy, and become an ordinary teacher. I hope you will still accept me then."
Only through experiencing profound sorrow can one truly grow. En Ci, the powerful figure who left behind countless legends on the Star Luo Continent and once an idol of the Star Luo Empire, has finally come to terms with it.
He resigned from his positions as the Grand Tutor of the Star Luo Empire and the Dean of the Monster Academy, choosing instead to work as an old man guarding the dormitory gates at the academy.
"Go." En Ci pointed to her heart.
Trust your heart. Don't do things you'll regret.
Some people join, and some people leave.
Some members of the Douluo Continent delegation were left forever on this foreign continent due to terrorist attacks or physical illnesses. Others found love or the true meaning of life here and chose to leave the delegation.
If there's anything worth caring about, it's that everyone has found their own place on this continent.
That is, a little red-haired guy has openly appeared next to Jiang Mingyuan.
Yes, Jiang Xiaoyue now has a formal identity, which is why she can appear before others.
Jiang Mingyuan said that he found the child in the wild. Because the two looked somewhat alike, Jiang Mingyuan felt pity for her and adopted her as his daughter.
Xie Xie couldn't help but tease him at the time.
He pointed at Jiang Mingyuan and Tang Wulin, looking like he wanted to punch them.
"Could it be that this is a child you two had?"
Xie Xie naturally faced a double whammy from both husband and wife.
"Wow! What an ugly fish!"
Upon seeing the novelty caught by Mu Ye, Jiang Xiaoyue excitedly ran over.
Jiang Mingyuan and Tang Wulin turned around and saw that the fish was very large, but its body length was rather short.
Jiang Mingyuan vaguely remembered something called the ocean sunfish from his previous life.
Jiang Xiaoyue took out an iron rod from her Storage Soul Tool and poked the fish. The outer skin was somewhat chewy and bouncy, like a gelatinous substance.
"Damn it, how did I manage to catch such a piece of trash?" Mu Ye sighed. This was his only catch in two days.
Over 95% of this fish's body volume is as nutritious as the fat of Ten-Year Soul Beast. Only its brain contains a tiny bit of essence, making it far inferior to other seafood that can enhance spiritual power.
Tong Yu felt a pang of jealousy because Mu Ye had caught the fish first. But when he heard that Muye had caught such a worthless fish, his mood instantly improved.
When you're in a good mood, your luck improves too.
The fishing line, which had been still for a long time, suddenly tightened, and the fishing rod bent down due to the huge pull.
While being comforted by Jiang Xiaoyue, Mu Ye's dejected expression instantly turned serious.
Jiang Mingyuan and Tong Yu also instantly sensed the danger lurking beneath the surface of the sea.
With a wave of his hand, Jiang Mingyuan unleashed Dark Adamantine Silver blade from his sleeve, severing the fishing line.
Cai Yue'er and Zhuo Shi, who were resting in the cabin, also rushed out at this moment.
"What's wrong, Brother Yuan?"
Tang Wulin was unaware of what had happened, but judging from Jiang Mingyuan's appearance, he was already prepared for battle.
"Over here!"
Zhuo Shi shouted, and dozens of shark fins floated on the water's surface.
Mu Ye and Tong Yu stared at the sea where the fishing line had broken, and a huge red octopus slowly poked its head out.
"Brother Yuan! Where are you!"
Standing at the bow of the ship Tang Wulin also pointed in front of him, where a stunningly beautiful woman had appeared out of nowhere, much to everyone's surprise.
The woman's upper body resembles that of a beautiful woman, with her chest covered by seashells and seaweed, while her lower body is a beautiful fishtail.
A giant ship, with Sea Soul Beast in three directions.
Unsurprisingly, Cai Yue'er, who had come to the stern to observe, also shouted out.
"The Evil Spirit Orca!"
Hundreds of Sea Soul Beast, led by the four major clans, completely surrounded the giant ship of the Douluo Continent.
Ahead lies the Sea Princess, to port is the Deep Sea Octopus, to starboard is the Demon Soul Great White Shark, and behind is the Evil Spirit Orca.
Each of the four races had a leader who stepped forward. They floated in the air, and apart from the Sea Princess, the other three transformed into human form.
Clearly, their cultivation levels were all no less than 200,000 years.
"Sea Soul Beast! What do you want?!"
Cai Yue'er was still the same as always, relying on the Shrek Academy behind her, acting as if she were invincible, and questioned the four Ferocious Beast.
