Chapter 90: Sea God Pavilion meeting, Gold-Water Mutual Containment and Silver Dragon Dragon Pill, Imperial
"Eh, is this right?"
Everyone in the car looked at each other, and even Zhao Xuanzhen and Gu Yue stopped studying their vacation plans and looked at the broadcast of the game on the soul guidance TV.
The turn of events was caught off guard. They thought Shi Laike Academy had won based on the commentary, so how did it suddenly fast-forward to the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Academy giving a victory speech!?
I saw the Shi Laike team members lying on the ground in a mess. Tang Wulin endured the injury, covered his bleeding chest, and stood up slowly, his eyes full of unwillingness and desolation.
Xie Xie and Xu Xu Li Zhi were shaking like chaff. Representing Shi Laike, they lost, losing to their nemesis, the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, on a battlefield broadcast almost across the entire Federation!
Xu Yucheng, Luo Guixing, and Zheng Yiran were pale, their hearts like dead ashes. The consequences of this defeat of Shi Laike Academy were far greater than the Tianhailian Alliance Grand Competition four years ago.
The Tianhailian Alliance Grand Competition was just a soul master celebration in the cities under the Tianhailian Alliance, and its influence was far less than the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the second academy on the continent. Moreover, the soul master team that defeated Shi Laike that year was the Haicheng Academy representative team.
Haicheng Academy not only had no grievances with Shi Laike, but could even be said to have quite a connection. The teacher was the former inner disciple of Shi Laike, Wu Changkong, and Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, Xu Xiaoyan, and Xie Xie were all students of the Zero Class of Haicheng Academy.
Coupled with the high price paid to exchange for the cooperation of Zhao Xuanzhen and the three, Shi Laike's public relations were still quite free.
But the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Shi Laike Academy were blood enemies, and the hatred had lasted for ten thousand years and intensified. It was absolutely impossible to reconcile with Shi Laike Academy, and they would only frantically render Shi Laike's defeat, severely hitting the ten-thousand-year reputation of the number one academy on the continent, making it known to everyone on the Douluo Continent!
As Shi Laike participating team members, the six would inevitably be nailed to the pillar of shame forever, and even committing seppuku would not be enough to make up for the monstrous crime!
The six stumbled off the field, and the teacher responsible for protecting them, Wu Changkong, had an ugly face. The teacher was equally to blame.
In stark contrast to Shi Laike, the Sun-Moon students in the auditorium were ecstatic. In the center of the huge competition venue, the two major martial soul fusion skills had not yet been lifted. The roar of the tiger was like thunder, and the Ice Goddess danced a song, causing cheers to rise one after another.
Major media outlets set up long guns and short cannons, scrambling to interview the Dean of the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Golden Toad Douluo Principal Mo Hongchen.
Principal Mo Hongchen puffed out his big belly and said passionately to countless cameras: "Today was supposed to be an ordinary day, but it became extraordinary because of the challenge of six Shi Laike students!"
"The excellent students of the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Academy lived up to expectations and defeated Shi Laike!"
"I think Shi Laike Academy's teaching method can no longer adapt to this era. The wheels of history are rolling forward, and new things will eventually replace old things. The new era belonging to the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has arrived!"
"We are the number one academy on the continent!"
"Long live Sun-Moon! Long live Sun-Moon!"
Principal Mo Hongchen's passionate speech instantly ignited the blood in the bones of the Sun-Moon students. They had been suppressed by Shi Laike for too long, and now they finally turned over and sang. Fanaticism and passion were the most appropriate adjectives.
The flash went off non-stop. The reporters were grinning from ear to ear. The hot spot came and couldn't be blocked at all. They compiled news headlines in advance: The old king is dead, the new king should stand, the battle for the number one academy on the continent, Sun-Moon is born!
The luxury SUV stopped on the side of the road. Yang Nianxia stretched his big head out to watch the soul guidance TV, indignantly speaking for the six classmates:
"Too arrogant, this guy is not damaging the academy's reputation, he is clearly taking the lives of Yiran and Lao Luo!"
Shen Yi got out of the car with a dark face, kicked Yang Nianxia back into the driver's seat with a roundhouse kick, and said coldly:
"You just drive, leave the rest to the academy to handle!"
Shi Laike Academy, Sea God Island.
The Sea God Pavilion was pin-drop silent. Ten people sat around an oval wooden long table. They were all Sea God Pavilion elders, the true pillars of Shi Laike Academy.
Whenever a major change occurred in Shi Laike Academy, the Sea God Pavilion would hold a meeting, so the Sea God Pavilion meeting was also called the Shi Laike Academy supreme leadership meeting, deciding the future of the academy by raising hands to vote.
There were two ways to convene a Sea God Pavilion meeting: one was the annual regular meeting, and the other was an extraordinary meeting.
Not to mention the regular meeting, every time an extraordinary meeting was convened, it meant that Shi Laike Academy was facing a major change. In history, several extraordinary Sea God Pavilion meetings even changed the development of the Douluo Continent, such as resisting the Sun-Moon Empire invasion, establishing Huo Yuhao's core position...
Qingtian Douluo Xiang Yunming sat at the head of the long table. On his left and right were Light and Dark Douluo Long Yeyue and Saint Spirit Douluo Yali, followed by Silver Moon Douluo Cai Yue'er, Red Dragon Douluo Zhuoshi, Scarlet Dragon Douluo Feng Wuyu, and other senior elders.
Most of the elders were a bit confused, completely unaware why Xiang Yunming hurriedly convened an extraordinary Sea God Pavilion meeting.
"Elders."
Xiang Yunming's face was heavy, and he briefly explained the ins and outs of the event: "It is currently the final exam of the outer courtyard. Wu Changkong, the head teacher of the first grade and the team leader, sent an emergency message."
"Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Xu Xu Li Zhi, Zheng Yiran, Xu Yucheng, and Luo Guixing, six first-grade students of Shi Laike, took the initiative to challenge the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, but unfortunately lost to two major martial soul fusion skills in the end."
"After the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Academy won, Dean Principal Mo Hongchen accepted interviews from many media outlets, wantonly slandering Shi Laike Academy, and claiming that Sun-Moon is the number one academy on the continent."
"They bought a large number of drafts, constantly promoting this victory and smearing Shi Laike Academy. The public opinion on the Soul Net has already reached a trend that cannot be controlled, and the academy is facing the most serious public opinion crisis in history."
Two super Douluo simultaneously gasped. The Sea God Pavilion seemed to have been swept by a hurricane, whistling past, lingering.
The next second, Silver Moon Douluo Cai Yue'er slapped the table hard, roaring with a distorted face: "Expel! Expel all six of them!"
"No, seven! And that Wu Changkong, pack up and get out of Shi Laike City!"
"Who dares to expel my disciple and grand-disciple!"
"Right, can't expel!"
Shi Laike's two holy dragons jumped out one after another to oppose. Red Dragon Douluo Zhuoshi blew his beard and stared. Three of the seven were his disciples and grand-disciples. Zhuoshi, who had always been protective of his shortcomings, couldn't agree. Scarlet Dragon Douluo Feng Wuyu simply wanted to keep the forging genius Tang Wulin.
"Zhuoshi, you still have the nerve to speak!" Cai Yue'er fired directly at Zhuoshi, "Your grand-disciple caused a mess, Shi Laike Academy's face was lost completely. As a grand-master and the Dean of the outer courtyard, do you think you can stay out of it?"
"You..."
When it came to talking, ten Zhuoshis couldn't compare to the sharp-tongued Cai Yue'er, not to mention that Cai Yue'er's words were not unreasonable.
"Calm down, the point now is not who to blame, but how to handle it."
Yali's gentle voice smoothed out the violent fluctuations in the elders' emotions.
"Xiao Li's words are good."
Long Yeyue said with a gloomy face: "I have a plan. I will personally go to the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, slap the junior of the Red Dust family, press him to hold a press conference, and publicly kneel and apologize to Shi Laike Academy."
"Sister Yue, you should rest first..."
Xiang Yunming held his forehead and smiled bitterly, feeling tired. He suddenly regretted convening the Sea God Pavilion meeting. What kind of weird things were these one or two!
It would be better for him and Yali to discuss it privately!
"Brother Ming, I have an idea." Yali said slowly, "The root of public opinion is the academy's defeat, so solving the problem first requires a victory."
"The six students who challenged Sun-Moon are first-graders. We might as well pick a few more students from the first grade to form a second team to challenge the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, to win back face for the academy. In this way, this public opinion crisis will be solved."
Xiang Yunming's tightly locked brows suddenly relaxed. If you have a virtuous wife, what more can you ask for!
"Saint Spirit's plan is very good."
"It's just the candidates..."
"Who can guarantee to complete the task? Sun-Moon has two martial soul fusion skills."
The elders looked at each other, and a figure appeared in their minds involuntarily. Four years ago, he broke Shi Laike Academy's two-thousand-year undefeated golden body, causing an unusually huge impact. He was the recognized number one person in the entire outer courtyard!
"I'll call Xiao Yi, she is his team leader!" Zhuoshi said.
"Teacher."
Shen Yi's voice came from the soul guidance communicator. Zhuoshi handed it to Xiang Yunming, who said in a deep voice: "Shen Yi, I am Qingtian Douluo Xiang Yunming. Give the soul guidance communicator to Zhao Xuanzhen. I have something important to communicate with him alone."
On the other side, the soul guidance car stopped abruptly. Zhao Xuanzhen opened the car door, took Shen Yi's soul guidance communicator, and walked to a quiet place, covering himself with Spirit Abyss Realm spiritual power to prevent others from hearing the conversation.
"Hello, Qingtian senior."
Xiang Yunming went straight to the point: "Have you seen the headlines on the Soul Net?"
"Yeah, the momentum is even greater than when I was there. Ten thousand years of sharpening a sword, Sun-Moon will never shake hands and make peace with Shi Laike."
Xiang Yunming's brows jumped, saying: "You are right. This is a war between academies. Now we are at a disadvantage and need someone to stand up and turn the situation around."
"The Sea God Pavilion decided to find a first-grade student. He must be gifted, excellent in combat, have leadership ability, and have a perfect image and temperament to help the academy overcome this difficulty."
No, you might as well read my ID number!
Twelve volumes of military books, every volume has my name. Zhao Xuanzhen held the soul guidance communicator, his expression indescribably complex.
Xiang Yunming probably felt he was too obvious, coughed lightly: "The Sea God Pavilion unanimously believes that you are the most suitable candidate."
"What's the reward?" Zhao Xuanzhen asked with a smile.
Watching the fun doesn't get any benefits, but you can knock on bamboo poles unscrupulously when you take action.
"Directly, what do you want."
Xiang Yunming didn't say nonsense like you are a Shi Laike student, and asked neatly.
"Gold-Water Mutual Containment."
Hearing this, Cai Yue'er in the Sea God Pavilion was instantly furious. Gold-Water Mutual Containment was the rarest metal in the world, rarer than a hundred-thousand-year soul bone. Zhao Xuanzhen opened his mouth like a lion!
"... Okay, one piece."
Xiang Yunming agreed calmly. He understood that with Zhao Xuanzhen's special status, he was not controlled by Shi Laike Academy at all, and bleeding heavily was expected.
Zhao Xuanzhen saw Xiang Yunming agree so neatly, and couldn't help but sigh that it was the number one academy on the continent. Leng Yaozhu had been buying Gold-Water Mutual Containment at a high price across the continent but found nothing. It seemed that Shi Laike had more than one piece!
"Also." Zhao Xuanzhen continued, "The Sun-Moon Federation's predecessor, the Sun-Moon Empire, killed a Silver Dragon and harvested a Dragon Pill containing the power of the Silver Dragon's bloodline. I want that Dragon Pill."
"What did you say!?"
Even Xiang Yunming's hundred-year cultivation of qi couldn't help but break his defense, almost cursing at Zhao Xuanzhen. The elders were all crooked-mouthed and staring, their temples twitching. Zhao Xuanzhen was no longer limited to opening his mouth like a lion; this was greed without limits!
A Dragon Pill is an energy body condensed by an adult dragon, possessing the power of the dragon bloodline origin, similar to a soul master's soul core.
How rare is a Dragon Pill? Refer to Shi Laike's ten-thousand-year history. Only the Sea God Pavilion Master Dragon God Douluo Mu En obtained a light-attribute White Dragon Dragon Pill.
Humans are not enough to withstand the domineering aura of the dragon race in the Dragon Pill, so Mu En had been nourishing the White Dragon Dragon Pill in his body, using the light holy dragon soul power of the Limit Douluo level to improve it, grinding away the edges and corners of the Dragon Pill bit by bit, for a full hundred years, and finally Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao successfully absorbed the Dragon Pill.
During the nourishment process, Mu En was backlashed by the evil spirit of the Dragon Pill, his injuries worsened, and he died ahead of schedule. And this was still the case where the Light Holy Dragon and the White Dragon were both light-attribute dragon races, plus a hundred years of Limit Douluo time to barely make Huo Yuhao absorb it.
That Silver Dragon Dragon Pill's attribute, bloodline, and evil spirit were all far above the White Dragon. Legend has it that it hides a dragon soul full of hatred for the Silver Dragon, and it is impossible for humans to absorb it. Even so, the Dragon Pill is still a priceless treasure of the Sun-Moon Empire.
After the Sun-Moon Empire changed its system to the Sun-Moon Federation, the Sun-Moon royal family hid in the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and the Silver Dragon Dragon Pill became the supreme symbol of the academy.
When the Sea God Pavilion was silent, Zhao Xuanzhen's clear voice came unhurriedly: "I am not asking Shi Laike Academy to cut its own flesh and exchange the Silver Dragon Dragon Pill with the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."
"I hope to take this opportunity for Shi Laike to take out supreme treasures of the same level to bet against Sun-Moon, winner takes all."
"If you lose, Shi Laike Academy will suffer heavy losses, and its reputation will fall to the bottom!" Xiang Yunming's voice was like ice.
"Qingtian senior, you are willing to find me, which means you believe in my ability, and I won't joke about my reputation for a lifetime."
"Think about it from another angle. If I win, Shi Laike will not only take back everything it lost in the past few days, but it is also normal for its reputation to go further."
"Qingtian senior, you are a generation of powerhouses who swept Mingdu. Is your sharpness still there?"
Under the shocked gaze of the Sea God Pavilion elders, Xiang Yunming made the final choice and laughed: "Good, you kid suit my temper, the academy will bet with you!"
"I want you... to crush Sun-Moon!"
Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Dean's Office.
Principal Mo Hongchen put down the soul guidance communicator and muttered: "Is Shi Laike crazy? It's enough to send students to challenge us for the second time, and it's understandable to broadcast it across the Federation, but they actually used the Hanhai Qiankun Crystal to bet against the Silver Dragon Dragon Pill!"
"Dean Hongchen, don't be in a hurry."
The young man leaned on the sofa, the edge of his deep purple iris glowing with extremely faint gold, his nose bridge high and straight like a work of art, his thin lips hanging with an arc that was there or not, his shirt collar loosened by two buttons, revealing a dangerous elegance.
"Who is challenging, did Shi Laike say?"
"According to the investigation, it is ten to nine that it is the current number one on the Youth Genius Ranking, Taiji Zhao Xuanzhen leading the team."
"Calculated, he should be the number one on the Youth Genius Ranking after my next one."
Principal Mo Hongchen nodded: "Yes, Extreme Ice Tang Dong is the top of the list after you, Zhao Xuanzhen defeated Tang Dong, who was only one month away from being eighteen, at the age of ten."
The young man said playfully: "Extreme ice slows down the cultivation speed, Tang Dong is bound to make a trade-off between soul power and Character Doukai. He chose to cultivate with peace of mind, and the progress of Character Doukai can only lag behind."
"Times have changed. A soul master without the blessing of Character Doukai is nothing."
"Zhao Xuanzhen stepped on Shi Laike Academy's undefeated golden body and Tang Dong's face to get to the top, so my approach is very simple: beat him until he has no resistance, and step on his head with my feet."
"Dean Hongchen, this is an opportunity for the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to completely crush Shi Laike Academy. You can't miss it, I can't miss it, and our family can't miss it."
"Come, let's not weaken our momentum."
Not long after, the official account of the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Academy updated a short video. The young man smiled evilly, made a throat-slitting gesture with his palm, and provoked:
"Taiji Zhao Xuanzhen, are you watching?"
"My name is Xu Tianzhao, Imperial Dragon Xu Tianzhao."
"I will personally shatter Shi Laike Academy's fantasy of dying struggle, as well as your poor pride. No matter how many people both sides send to the stage, I will fight you one-on-one and tell the world with a one-on-one battle who is the number one genius of this era!"
"They say you are the future, but I want to tell you one thing."
"Pass me, then talk about the future!"
