Chapter 111 Long Yeyue: Yun Ming, you will regret this.
close!
The moment when the witch and the Light and Dark Douluo were about to make contact.
"That's enough!"
A sharp shout, like a great bell shattering the void, made everyone present's eardrums buzz.
Immediately afterwards, a beam of incandescent light tore through the sky, and a spear, carrying the momentum to incinerate everything, suddenly descended, precisely positioned between Li Mengjie and Long Yeyue.
The light flowing from the gun was like the blazing sun in the sky, abruptly cutting off the two men's attack trajectories.
"Bomb One"
Amidst the deafening explosion, a vast and boundless soul power, like a boundless ocean, surged from Yun Ming's body. It was not a violent impact, but a powerful pressure carrying absolute control.
The two attacks, which were about to collide, were forcibly pulled by this force, like a torrent being grasped by an invisible hand, and dragged into the void high in the sky.
Just as the energy was about to explode and unleash a world-destroying storm, Yun Ming lightly twisted his wrist and tapped his spear. The shattered space quickly closed like a scroll being closed, completely sealing and annihilating all the destructive power, without even a trace of aftershock.
There are children here.
Holding a long spear, the Sky-Supporting Douluo stood steadily in the center of the battlefield, his clothes fluttering in the air currents of soul power. "We are all people who have lived for over a hundred years. Even when we are fighting fiercely, we must have a sense of proportion. Don't scare the children."
He paused slightly, pointed the tip of his gun diagonally at the ground, and an aura of dominance emanated from him, causing even the sea breeze to stop in its tracks. "If any of you are still not convinced, why not come and have a go with me?"
"Guh—"
—"
Li Mengjie swallowed hard, her back already drenched in cold sweat.
She had seen the Sky-Supporting Douluo make a move from afar when she was young, and at that time she only felt that he was incredibly powerful. But now that she was personally experiencing this oppressive feeling, she understood what true unfathomable power meant.
In the instant the Red Dust Witch Sword collided with the Sky-Piercing Spear, she clearly sensed that the power of time contained within the sword had encountered its nemesis. Not only did it fail to devour even a fraction of Yun Ming's life force, but it was also instantly melted away by the flames of the spear.
In the blink of an eye, the Red Dust Witch Sword, which contained her level 97 soul power, shattered inch by inch, and the power of time dissipated like smoke. She was also forced back several steps by a gentle yet irresistible force, forcibly exiting the Martial Soul Fusion state.
Wow! Absolutely amazing!
This is not the strength a normal Soul Master should have!
Alarm bells rang in Li Mengjie's mind, and one thought was crystal clear: if this Sky-Supporting Douluo had murderous intent, even if she relied on the power of time to maneuver, she probably wouldn't last more than ten moves.
The level 97 soul power seemed so pale and powerless in the face of absolute strength.
With this in mind, she suppressed all her sharpness, nodded slightly to Yun Ming, and honestly accepted this reconciliation.
"Yun Ming, what are you doing!"
However, Long Yeyue was completely unfazed by this oppressive aura. Instead, she stepped forward with a stiff face, her eyes filled with rage: "Anyone who dares to challenge the rules of Shrek Academy and even insult your master's reputation should be utterly annihilated! Why are you stopping me?!"
Yun Ming calmly met her anger, his voice low yet carrying an undeniable firmness: "Guests from afar are honored. Councilor Li entered Shrek Academy through proper procedures. If something were to happen to her within the academy's grounds, how would outsiders view Shrek? Would they say we bully the weak, or that we have failed to treat our guests properly?"
"Distinguished guests? I think they're unwelcome guests!"
Long Yeyue sneered, her back ramrod straight. "As for the opinions of outsiders? Heh, are the opinions of those weaklings worth caring about? Our Shrek Academy is unparalleled in the world, with countless students across the land. We have cultivated countless pillars of the Federation; who dares to question us so easily?"
Her gaze, sharp as a knife, swept over Li Mengjie. "This woman committed countless evils in the Soul Master world back then. If our academy hadn't intervened and expelled her, who knows how many tragedies would have occurred!"
"She dared to set foot on Seagod Island and provoke us today. Even if she's beaten to death here, it's her own fault! She's just a councilor of the Spirit Pagoda; killing her is no big deal! If the Spirit Pagoda dares to cause trouble, I'll take full responsibility!"
Seeing Long Yeyue's unreasonable behavior, Yun Ming's face darkened, and his tone turned cold: "Alright, Sister Yue, let's leave it at that for today."
Should Long Yeyue be made to do everything and take all the blame?
Yun Ming shook his head inwardly. What a joke! Long Yeyue is the widow of the previous Sea God Pavilion Master, Tianyan Douluo. This identity destined her to share the glory and disgrace of Shrek Academy.
If the Spirit Pagoda were to truly settle scores, how could Shrek Academy possibly remain uninvolved? If they couldn't even protect the widow of the former Pavilion Master, what would become of the academy's reputation? How disheartened would those Soul Masters who depended on the academy be?
"Yun Ming, you—" Long Yeyue wanted to argue, but Yun Ming interrupted her directly.
"That's enough!"
Yun Ming's voice suddenly rose, carrying the authority of the Sea God Pavilion Master, "Sister Yue, I am the current Sea God Pavilion Master, and the person in charge of Shrek Academy!"
What a load of rubbish, what a disgrace to the pavilion master!
Long Yeyue's eyes widened in anger, and her spiritual power nearly went out of control. If Yun Ming dared to put on airs like this in private, she would definitely not give him a kind look.
But out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Zhuo Shi and Ya Li, who both looked solemn, as well as Li Mengjie and Lu Xingchen, two outsiders.
Long Yeyue swallowed back the angry words that were on the tip of her tongue. She could disrespect Yun Ming, but she couldn't let Shrek Academy lose face.
In front of both members of the Sea God Pavilion and outsiders, she had to uphold the dignity of the Pavilion Master.
Long Yeyue gave Yun Ming a deep look, her eyes filled with resentment and bitterness, before finally uttering only a cold, harsh sentence: "Yun Ming, you will regret this!"
After saying that, she turned around and left without looking back, leaving a long trail of dual-colored soul power on the ground.
"well----"
Yun Ming sighed helplessly, gazing in the direction Long Yeyue had left, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
Sister Yue's personality remains impulsive; she doesn't consider the consequences at all.
Li Mengjie came through proper channels and was not an uninvited intruder. If something were to happen to her within the academy, the Spirit Pagoda would surely seize the opportunity to cause trouble, and the conflict between the two major forces would likely erupt again.
Moreover, the two had just been on the verge of life and death in their battle.
Yun Ming knew Long Yeyue's strength well; a single, furious strike from a Limit Douluo was enough to either kill or cripple Li Mengjie.
However, Li Mengjie's fighting style, which risked her life for injury, was extremely dangerous. The power of time in the Red Dust Witch Sword was insidious and would take away at least seven or eight years of Long Yeyue's lifespan if it hit her.
Given Long Yeyue's dwindling lifespan, this is undoubtedly a fatal blow.
Both sides would suffer losses, which would be a net loss. That's why he had to intervene.
Judging from Sister Yue's attitude just now, she clearly didn't understand his good intentions.
Yun Ming turned and winked at Zhuo Shi, who immediately understood and transformed into a blur, chasing after the direction Long Yeyue had left in.
After watching Zhuoshi leave, Yunming slowly withdrew his gaze and turned to Li Mengjie, whose expression was slightly restrained.
The Sky-Piercing Spear in his hand fell to his side, the incandescent flame at its tip slowly fading. His tone was flat and emotionless: "Councilor Li, you've come all this way for Xiao Chen, haven't you? What brings you here?"
Facing this Limit Douluo, who is hailed as the number one person on the mainland, Li Mengjie felt as if the air around her had solidified, and the invisible pressure made her subconsciously breathe more lightly.
But considering the purpose of her trip, she composed herself, bowed, and said, "I have come here specifically to invite Master Xingchen to the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda for a chat."
"Master Xingchen had previously helped me with some small favors, and I was grateful for that. So I promised him that he could choose any soul spirit under 50,000 years old from the Soul Spirit Tower at headquarters without paying any extra price."
"Originally, I came to Shrek City this time to handle some matters and, incidentally, to smooth things over with headquarters."
Li Mengjie recounted the story in a gentle voice, "It was by chance that my subordinates reported seeing Master Xingchen near the Chuanling Hotel."
"I hurriedly sent people to inquire, only to find out that he had actually entered Shrek Academy. That's why I came uninvited, wanting to invite the young grandmaster to the Spirit Pagoda to see if there are any souls he likes."
Upon hearing this, Ya Li's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but ask, "Can we choose a soul spirit under 50,000 years old in the Soul Spirit Tower without having to climb the tower?"
As the dean of Shrek Academy's inner court, Ya Li naturally understood what the Soul Tower meant.
That is the unique core area of the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, where countless rare souls collected by the Spirit Pagoda over the past ten thousand years are sealed.
Normally, the Soul Tower is only open to the core members of the Spirit Pagoda, or occasionally to top geniuses who are on good terms with the Spirit Pagoda. Outsiders can hardly even get close to it, let alone step into it.
The Soul Tower has a total of 108 floors, each protected by a powerful ancient formation, making it extremely dangerous.
If a Soul Master wants to obtain Soul Spirits, there is only one way: to break through the tower.
Each time you clear a level, you can not only choose a soul from that level and purchase it at a 50% discount, but you also gain the qualification to enter the next level.
The first eighteen levels are sealed with thousand-year-old souls, a diverse array but not the most elite.
The eighteenth to thirty-sixth floors are the territory of ten-thousand-year-old souls, each one so powerful that even Soul Kings would flock to them.
Above the thirty-sixth floor, there are even rare beings that are over thirty thousand years old. The higher you go, the more astonishing the age and quality of the souls become.
As for the top nine levels, they are the treasures that guard the Spirit Pagoda. Sealed inside are all ferocious beasts, each one a legendary creature that is the only one left in the world.
Upon hearing this, Li Mengjie gently shook her head, a confident smile playing on her lips: "Of course, there's no need to climb the tower."
As a councilor of the Spirit Pagoda, I certainly have this much authority.
Yun Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, showing no surprise at Li Mengjie's mention of the "Little Grandmaster of Stars."
The Shrek Academy's intelligence department had already uncovered the news a year ago from the Forging Masters Association that Lu Xingchen had mastered spirit forging at the age of seven and become a forging master.
As the head of the Sea God Pavilion, he naturally learned of this information immediately.
A seven-year-old master blacksmith—such talent is unprecedented in the entire Douluo Continent. No matter which power, they would be willing to extend an olive branch to him.
Li Mengjie's actions are quite reasonable.
He originally thought that with Shrek Academy's foundation and its advantageous location, it would be enough to keep this rising star in the academy. However, he did not expect that Li Mengjie would be so perceptive and willing to spend such a huge sum of money as to give up a spot in the Soul Tower.
Yun Ming turned his head, his gaze falling on Lu Xingchen, who was being protected in Ya Li's arms. His tone softened slightly: "Xiao Chen, what do you think about this?"
Since Li Mengjie came with a formal invitation rather than with a deliberate provocation, as the head of the Sea God Pavilion, he shouldn't interfere too much and should ultimately leave the choice to the person involved.
"I want to go!" Lu Xingchen nodded vigorously without the slightest hesitation, his eyes gleaming with undisguised anticipation.
Seeing this, Li Mengjie's smile widened, and she nodded, saying, "In that case, please accompany me, Little Master Xingchen."
After saying that, she took a step and walked towards Lu Xingchen.
Just then, Ya Li suddenly stepped forward, blocking Lu Xingchen's path. With a gentle yet undeniable smile on her face, she looked at Li Mengjie and said, "Since we're going to the Spirit Pagoda to choose a soul spirit, Councilor Li shouldn't mind bringing one more person, right? I can also give little Xingchen some advice so he won't be overwhelmed by the choices."
As she spoke, she subconsciously took Lu Xingchen's small hand, looked down at him, her eyes full of tenderness: "How is it, little Xingchen? You don't not welcome your big sister, do you?"
"Of course you're welcome!"
Lu Xingchen shook her head vigorously, her smile growing even brighter. "I feel much more at ease with Sister Yali here!"
Li Mengjie was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Yali to suddenly ask to travel together.
But after glancing at Lu Xingchen's expectant face and then at Ya Li's smiling yet sharp eyes, she hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly: "Since Little Master Xingchen has no objection, then I naturally have no objection either."
After saying that, she didn't say anything more and turned to walk towards the direction of Poseidon Lake.
With a light touch of her toes on the calm lake surface, her figure soared into the distance like a falling leaf, her clothes fluttering in the wind.
"Brother Ming, please take good care of Sister Yue."
Ya Li gave Yun Ming a meaningful look, then gently picked up Lu Xingchen, and with a light touch of her toes, she transformed into a soft stream of light, following Li Mengjie's figure as they flew over Seagod Island.
"Hmm." Yun Ming nodded slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips, as he watched the two figures gradually disappear into the distance.
Only after Ya Li and Lu Xingchen's figures completely disappeared from sight did the smile in his eyes slowly fade. He glanced almost imperceptibly at a hidden corner of Seagod Island, where a faint fluctuation of soul power seemed to flash by.
"A level five blacksmith master, I wonder how broad Xiao Chen's future path will be."
Yun Ming seemed to be talking to himself as he casually uttered these words, then his figure flashed and he returned to the golden ancient tree.
As the head of the Sea God Pavilion, he would not leave Sea God Island unless there were important matters to attend to.
