Chapter 52

"Hum—"

Zhao Xuanzhen pressed the protection device of the Blue Spirit Ring, his figure gradually fading. He didn't know how much strength the Shadow of Glory had of the Title Douluo Tang San, but one thing was certain: with his own strength alone, he was definitely not the opponent of the Shadow of Glory.

He couldn't expose the Eight Deceptive Gods just because of a practical course; that would be a bit impulsive.

Outside the Gate of Glory, Shen Yi hurried up when she saw Zhao Xuanzhen leaving the battle space, asking with a full face of confusion: "Xuanzhen, how could you trigger the infinite level difficulty of the Gate of Glory?

That is the annihilation mechanism of the Gate of Glory, specially designed to punish examinees who break the rules..."

Zhao Xuanzhen's tone was calm, stating the facts: "I don't know. After I took down the four-ring Tang San in one punch, the soul guidance intelligence insisted that I was hiding soul power, and then the Thousand-Hand Douluo appeared. I don't have the hobby of being abused, so I simply exited the Gate of Glory."

"Four-ring Tang San ancestor, one punch!?"

Shen Yi felt the world spinning, looking at Zhao Xuanzhen as if looking at an alien.

She was a direct disciple of the Red Dragon Douluo and an excellent graduate of the Shi Laike inner court, very familiar with the Gate of Glory.

The Gate of Glory and the Tang Men Hero Hall were quite similar, both creating ancestor phantoms to train in practical combat. The difference was that the Gate of Glory simulated the first generation of Shi Laike Seven Monsters, and the Hero Hall referred to the Seven Monsters of Huo Yuhao's generation.

The two major practical training sessions adhered to one principle: the dignity of the ancestors cannot be insulted.

In fact, under the secret increase of the two major forces, the combat power of the phantoms far exceeded that of the two generations of Seven Monsters themselves, each of them being a top monster among soul masters of the same rank.

Of course, adjusting values is adjusting values. Facing the juniors who were beaten by the phantoms, the elders must insist on one sentence: the phantoms only have seventy percent of the real people's combat power, you still need to practice!

Thinking for a while, a look of realization flashed in Shen Yi's eyes. It was nothing more than Zhao Xuanzhen beating the four-ring Tang San across ranks, and the Gate of Glory determined that it was absolutely impossible for such a perverted three-ring Soul Venerable to exist in the world, so it decisively opened the annihilation mode.

"Xuanzhen, thank you for reminding the academy. I will report to the Red Dragon Douluo that the soul guidance intelligence of the Gate of Glory should keep pace with the times and modify the standards for triggering the annihilation mechanism."

"Hmm."

Zhao Xuanzhen didn't say anything more, waiting quietly for the others.

Following Zhao Xuanzhen, the second student to leave the Gate of Glory was Xu Xu Li Zhi. The little fatty stumbled out, his fat face blue and purple, looking exceptionally wretched.

Both were two-ring Great Soul Masters. Xu Xu Li Zhi possessed the Recovery Big Meat Bun and the Light Spirit Small Cage Bun. Oscar's second soul skill, Detoxification Sausage, had no effect, and Xu Xu Li Zhi's assessment was just to persist for three minutes under Oscar's attack, so passing the first level was not difficult.

The difficulty of the second level increased, Oscar became a Soul Venerable, and Xu Xu Li Zhi instantly became a tragedy. Once the Flying Mushroom Sausage came out, Oscar occupied the aerial advantage, dancing a pair of big sausages with great momentum, actually hitting the feeling of nunchucks, beating the little fatty black and blue, and the assessment ended in failure.

"Click—"

A moment later, Ye Xinglan walked out of the Gate of Glory with a dark face, her fists clenched and clicking, clearly in a terrible mood.

"Sister Xinglan, how many levels did you pass?"

"One level."

Ye Xinglan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Her assessment difficulty was even higher than Xu Xu Li Zhi's, which were defeating the two-ring Dai Mubai and the three-ring Dai Mubai respectively.

Relying on the prototype of the Star God Sword Intent and her own strong combat talent, Ye Xinglan narrowly won against the Bai Hu Great Soul Master.

The ancestor not being able to defeat a soul master of the same rank had already stepped on the thunder point of the Gate of Glory. The second-level Bai Hu Soul Venerable possessed the third soul skill, Bai Hu Vajra Transformation, and beat Ye Xinglan backhand, the latter losing extremely miserably.

The golden-haired girl moved her lotus steps and walked to Zhao Xuanzhen, asking with burning eyes: "How many levels did you pass?"

"Two levels."

Hearing this, Ye Xinglan couldn't help but freeze for a moment. In her view, Zhao Xuanzhen was far more than that. Her red lips parted slightly, wanting to say something, but finally gave up.

"Is that Xiao Wu a proper soul master!"

Before the person arrived, the voice came first. Xiang Naer walked out of the Gate of Glory indignantly, ran to Zhao Xuanzhen's side, and said with soaring resentment: "The Soul Venerable combat power barely meets common sense, but the Soul Sect started to be outrageous!

Until the third level, the five-ring Soft Bone Rabbit Soul King used teleportation as if there was no limit, opening an Invincible Golden Body and rushing up against the Silver Baiyin Baiyin Longqiang, unscathed!

How to fight, tell me how to fight!"

"So the normal third level is a Soul King," Zhao Xuanzhen squinted, "I thought you would meet the Soft Bone Douluo."

"I took a look at you in my spare time and almost laughed my head off."

Xiang Naer showed a mouthful of small white teeth, not hiding her mockery at all: "Title Douluo Tang San, five ten-thousand-year soul rings, plus the Sea God Trident! Zhao Xuanzhen, did you break the heavenly law?"

"Sigh..." Zhao Xuanzhen said melancholically, "I'll restrain myself next time. You also remember, it is forbidden to kill people across ranks, otherwise what greets you will be a Title Douluo."

"Hahahaha!!!"

Xiang Naer laughed until she couldn't straighten her waist. Ye Xinglan on the side suddenly shook her body. She just understood that Zhao Xuanzhen only passed two levels because he was sanctioned by the system, not because his strength stopped there!

Besides, she was held back by Dai Mubai and had no time to take care of anything else, while Xiang Naer still had spare energy, fighting Xiao Wu while observing the battle next door. Ye Xinglan realized again the huge gap between them, and in her azure pupils, flames burned fiercely.

"Practical class is over, everyone dismiss and cultivate freely. Tomorrow's class will return to the classroom to study."

Shen Yi announced the end of the class and went to the dean's office to find the Red Dragon Douluo Zhuo Shi to report on the Gate of Glory.

The four little ones of the zero class were divided into two factions. Ye Xinglan had a stubborn and competitive personality and had already regarded Xuan-Na as the ultimate goal, planning to practice hard. Xu Xu Li Zhi was like a follower, following Sister Xinglan wherever she went.

"Let's go, let's go to Xuanlong Street and see. We can rebuild this street according to the appearance we like," Zhao Xuanzhen proposed.

"No..."

Xiang Naer raised her soul guidance communicator. Seeing a new message from ten seconds ago, the girl said with a sad face: "Holy Spirit Douluo, she is waiting for me at the dormitory door."

"Hmm?" Zhao Xuanzhen was shocked, "Tell the truth, what bad things have you been doing secretly to be chased to the door by the Holy Spirit Douluo?"

"Uh... at most I was eating the cafeteria food hard. As the number one academy on the continent, does the Sea God Pavilion elder catch people just because students eat a little more?"

"That shouldn't be it."

Zhao Xuanzhen narrowed his eyes, opened his wise brain, and said: "Intuition tells me that the person who really wants to find you might not be the Holy Spirit Douluo.

Go to Xuanlong Street another day, I will accompany you back to Sea God Island."

"No need, no need!" Xiang Naer waved her hand, "The Holy Spirit Douluo looking for me alone is actually because she doesn't want you to be present. I will go back to Sea God Island alone to see what kind of sugar-coated cannonball is in the gourd!

Sister Dabai and Sister Xiaobai are waiting at the school gate. You go to Xuanlong Street and remember to change the things related to the Bai Hu. It must have the characteristics of our True Self and the Silver Baiyin Baiyin Longqiang!"

"Okay."

Zhao Xuanzhen nodded gently. The silver-haired girl was extremely good at eating the sugar coating and returning the cannonball, so she wouldn't suffer. Moreover, he never doubted Xiang Naer's loyalty, and the two trusted each other to the fullest.

Xiang Naer returned to Sea God Island, and Zhao Xuanzhen walked out of Shi Laike Academy. The twin sisters had been waiting for a long time. The two wore elegant white long dresses, which complemented their exquisite appearance. Their snow-white long hair hung down to their waists, carrying a unique temperament.

"Sister Dabai, Sister Xiaobai!"

The appearance of the Bai sisters stood out from the crowd. Zhao Xuanzhen locked onto them in a second and waved from afar.

Bai Haoze and Bai Zhichen's pretty faces bloomed with a smile, walking to Zhao Xuanzhen's side, one on the left and one on the right, vaguely protecting him, like good sisters taking care of their younger brother, and also like a pair of dedicated guards.

Shi Laike Academy is located in the core of Shi Laike City. Outside the school gate is the street. The predecessor of Xuanlong Street, Bai Hu Street, was one of the most prosperous commercial streets in the inner city. The three turned a few corners and stepped into it. The long street was wide and clean, shops were lined up, and the flow of people was bustling and endless.

The three shuttled through Xuanlong Street. Bai Haoze pointed to various buildings around and introduced softly: "Xuanlong Street has perfect facilities, including shopping malls, restaurants, cafes, foot bath cities, and hotels. If Xiang Naer were a work-study student, the contribution points earned by Xuanlong Street every month would be enough to support fifty of her."

"That's very profitable."

Such an intuitive number made Zhao Xuanzhen marvel. Work-study students pay for everything themselves. Being able to support fifty Xiang Naers, Xuanlong Street was terrifyingly powerful!

Bai Zhichen took over her sister's words: "The industry with the highest profit on the whole street is the Rose Hotel, which is very popular among Shi Laike students.

We hid it from the Tianfeng Crown and notified the person in charge of the Rose Hotel to specifically reserve a special room on the top floor, so you can swipe your face and check in at any time."

"Not..."

Zhao Xuanzhen blinked his eyes, looking at the Bai sisters who looked as usual, having no words to spit out.

Left and right prime ministers, you two seem to be too speculative about the holy will!

Having said that, reserving a room at the Rose Hotel is a very familiar plot. One day, a Blue Silver Grass soul master won't fight him to the death, right!

Accompanied by the Bai sisters, Zhao Xuanzhen understood Xuanlong Street well. The three sat in a cafe to kill the beautiful afternoon time and chat about renovation opinions by the way.

Bai Zhichen placed three steaming coffees on the table. Zhao Xuanzhen picked up a spoon and stirred it, and said: "This cafe is elegantly decorated, why is there only one barista, and not even a waiter is hired."

"The previous waiter was a Shi Laike work-study student. He didn't pass the outer court graduation assessment and left Shi Laike City. The cafe is currently recruiting people," Bai Haoze explained.

"Shi Laike work-study student..."

Zhao Xuanzhen's eyes were intriguing, and then he hid his thoughts, focusing on renovating Xuanlong Street: "Sister Dabai, Sister Xiaobai, take down the white tiger sculpture that is baring its fangs and brandishing its claws at the entrance of the street and replace it with a silver dragon.

The silver dragon will be the brand of Xuanlong Street in the future, and it must be imposing, with black and white airflow patterns added around it..."

The three seriously discussed the renovation plan. In the cafe, several couples listened to soothing piano music, holding coffee and being affectionate.

A figure suddenly pushed open the glass door. The girl had pale skin, a chestnut-red short hair, and a face that could withstand careful observation. Her exquisite curves were of a certain scale, and even the classic dark green school uniform of Shi Laike Academy could not hide her heart-stirring appearance.

"Hello, I heard that the cafe is recruiting waiters. Can I apply now?" The girl walked to the barista and went straight to the point.

"Yes, our new boss is just here."

The barista put down the work in her hand, having seen the Bai sisters who bought the whole street for Leng Yaoju, and led the girl to Zhao Xuanzhen and the three, respectfully saying: "Boss, this girl is applying for a waiter."

The three turned their heads together. The Bai sisters had no reaction, while Zhao Xuanzhen and the girl were stunned at the same time.

"Yuan'en Yehui?"

"Taiji Zhao Xuanzhen!"

Zhao Xuanzhen had seen Yuan'en Yehui's photo on the Youth Genius Ranking, and Yuan'en Yehui had even watched Zhao Xuanzhen's sparring with Yue Zhengyu yesterday afternoon.

Yuan'en Yehui was itchy to fight and almost couldn't help but go on stage, but considering she was a work-study student and finding a job was the most important thing, she regretfully gave up.

"Are you the boss of this cafe?" Yuan'en Yehui asked in surprise.

"No," Zhao Xuanzhen corrected, "I am the boss of this street."

Yuan'en Yehui suffocated instantly. She left the Titan family with almost nothing. She was attracted to Shi Laike Academy by the reputation of the number one academy on the continent and was looking for a place to stay.

Accidents are always faster than plans. During the entrance assessment, Yuan'en Yehui accidentally exposed her second martial soul, Fallen Angel. Confirmed by Holy Spirit Douluo Yali, Yuan'en Yehui was not an evil soul master, but Shi Laike Academy demoted her to a work-study student and did not enjoy benefits such as free cafeteria.

Yuan'en Yehui was dumbfounded. Although she was a mecha repairer, a second-rank mecha repairer couldn't even talk about repairing mechas/Doukai, and even repairing a soul guidance device was difficult, so she could only come out to work to support herself.

The food at Shi Laike Academy was extremely expensive. If she couldn't find a job, a generation of twin martial soul geniuses would go hungry.

The work-study senior told her that this cafe had generous benefits, the salary was three times that of the beverage bar next door, and work-study students were allowed to work only in the afternoon, but the requirements were relatively strict and the application difficulty was quite high.

Yuan'en Yehui was a girl with ideals. She decided to challenge the cafe. Looking at Zhao Xuanzhen's handsome face, the girl said with some expectation:

"That... can I become a waiter?"

Zhao Xuanzhen said impartially: "The waiters in this shop must satisfy the guests and cannot damage the shop's interests. Can you do it?"

"I can!"

Yuan'en Yehui stood tall, her answer firm and decisive.

"Okay, now you are a waiter, and I am a customer. Let's do a small job test."

Zhao Xuanzhen drank the coffee in the cup and handed the empty cup to Yuan'en Yehui: "Waiter, refill."

Yuan'en Yehui was ready, feeling that she had seen through the test's scheming. The coffee shop didn't allow refills at all, so she said: "Sorry customer, the coffee shop rules do not allow refills."

"Is that so? First time drinking coffee, excuse me," Zhao Xuanzhen took back the cup embarrassedly.

"Haha, it's okay."

Yuan'en Yehui chuckled.

"You really dare to laugh?" Zhao Xuanzhen changed his face instantly, "I'm complaining about you."

"Ah!?"

Bu Hao, the pre-swing was too long, I fell for it!

Meeting such a strange test for the first time in her life, Yuan'en Yehui suddenly had a sense of sadness of eating spicy strips in a pancake fruit.

The Bai sisters also smiled. They had watched Zhao Xuanzhen grow up and knew that he had a set of ways to grind people.

"Just kidding, your image and temperament are good, suitable for our cafe," Zhao Xuanzhen smiled.

A village appeared after the willow trees and flowers, Yuan'en Yehui said in surprise: "I got the job?"

"Six days on, one day off. Late deduction of half salary, leave deduction of full day salary. Good review bonus, bad review fine, more business has commission, do well and get promoted."

"Yes, Boss!"

This pancake was big and round. Yuan'en Yehui was immediately full of fighting spirit. The eagle... the ape-like woman would never retreat!

Sea God Island.

Xiang Naer returned to the wooden house. Besides the Holy Spirit Douluo Yali, a young man was standing at the door.

The young man was dressed in simple black clothes. Ordinary people would think he was just an ordinary person, but Xiang Naer could feel the unstoppable momentum on him.

"Spear intent... no, Spear God!"

As a spear soul master, Xiang Naer's gaze became biting.

"Hello, Naer."

The young man smiled slightly, his voice gentle: "I am Yunming, the current Sea God Pavilion Master of Shi Laike Academy.

Title, Sky-Prop."
