Douluo Huo Yuhao: My Clone is Too Self-Disciplined

Chapter 77 Movements of All Parties (Please Subscribe)

After stopping the car, some of the underlings began setting up tents and cooking. Dulong and several high-ranking officials went into the tents, it was unclear whether they were discussing business or doing something else.

The Second Under Heaven didn't care much, because soon some mercenary members at the Great Soul Master level opened all the carriages, released the children inside, and drove them to the river to wash them.

We're about to enter the Sun and Moon Empire to start selling them, so naturally we need to be clean to fetch a higher price. Plus, they look cleaner and more pleasing to the eye.

They hadn't expected anyone to escape. The weakest member of the Lone Dragon Mercenary Group had a cultivation level of over ten, which was not something a group of children without even a martial spirit could outrun.

If they dared to run away, they would face the most severe punishment, so all the children obediently stayed in the lake to bathe. The second-best in the world didn't make an exception either; he simply followed behind them and soaked in the river.

After not showering for so many days, he did smell, and it would feel quite nice to take a shower. However, while he was scrubbing his hands, his gaze drifted to a certain spot before he immediately looked away, and then a cold smile appeared on his lips.

Things seemed to have become more delicate again; he no longer needed to meticulously plot against Dulong. His sixth sense told him that a group of powerful individuals were lying in ambush about a kilometer away.

Among them, the one with the strongest energy fluctuations had an aura far surpassing that of Dulong, so the Second Under Heaven concluded that he was a Soul Saint-level expert.

The boys and girls around him, dressed in standard school uniforms, were all quite powerful; even the weakest among them possessed the cultivation level of a Soul Master. Moreover, based on his observation, these individuals, who appeared to be students, all possessed several powerful soul tools, clearly indicating that they were all extremely powerful soul masters.

Therefore, it can be inferred that these are students from an academy within the Sun Moon Empire. Furthermore, the soul tools they possess, including those of the Soul Saint-level instructor, are most likely engraved with the Mingde Hall's mark, indicating that they are all students of an official academy of the Sun Moon Empire.

If it were just for revenge, or simply to save people or even fight off robbers, it would be impossible to send out so many students at once, because sending out that Soul Saint would be enough.

The instructor, who was meditating on the ground, didn't seem to intend to intervene. He appeared to be merely supervising from the sidelines and protecting their safety.

As far as he knew, academies on the mainland generally did not have any bounty missions, so this could only be an assessment.

And now it is the start of the new semester for all the colleges and universities, so the Second Under Heaven has a very bold guess in his mind.

He hadn't wasted his time; in every town he visited, he would spend several hours clearing out all the books from the free library, so he was very familiar with the rules of some academies on the continent.

Entrance exams are not a tradition at Shrek Academy. Basically, all students on both continents will undergo entrance exams to assess their overall qualities.

The missions are random, and each academy has a different assessment method. When Tianxia Dier saw their standard school uniforms, the identity tags representing each grade, and the soul tools with obvious differences in level, Tianxia Dier had already guessed that the Dulong Mercenary Group, this human trafficking gang, had probably been targeted by the Sun Moon Empire long ago.

Because of their relatively weak strength, they were assigned as an entrance exam task by an academy of the Sun Moon Empire, which explains why so many young men and women were waiting there in the distance, led by a powerful leader.

Because their goal was very clear: the Dulong mercenary group.

The Second Under Heaven suddenly laughed. It was like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy. By hitching a ride with the Dulong Mercenary Group, he had successfully reached the border of the Sun Moon Empire and was now trying to figure out how to leave!
Surprisingly, reinforcements arrived unexpectedly, which was exactly what he wanted.

Judging from their appearance, they would probably wait until night to make their move, so he could take advantage of the chaos tonight to leave. Thinking of this, the Second Best Under Heaven felt much better.

After being cleaned up, everyone was taken back to their respective "rooms." Compared to the prison vans of the others, the rooms of Tianxia Di'er, Feng, and the other boy could be considered luxurious presidential suites.

After enjoying a delicious meal, the Second Best Under Heaven closed his eyes and took a nap. After all, there was still a fierce battle tonight, so how could he not get a good rest?

He didn't notice that another boy in the corner was staring at Feng, with a shy look on his face!
Feeling a little embarrassed by being stared at like that, Feng washed herself clean and returned to the cage with her wet body.

After all, men and women are different, so she didn't take off her clothes. However, after washing the soot off her face, she revealed her true appearance. It turned out that Feng's healthy wheat-colored skin was actually just a layer of grime.

In border regions plagued by frequent wars, even food and water were scarce, so how could there possibly be extra water for a girl to bathe? So, in fact, Feng only took one bath after she was born, and never took another one after that.

She wasn't the only one like this; everyone in Luoyun Village did the same. They only took three baths in their lives: one at birth, one at marriage, and one at death.

It's sad to say, but it's true. After being washed, Feng was clearly a different person. Although his clothes were worn out, his skin was very white—yes, the kind of white that comes from not being exposed to the sun for years.

As the saying goes, fair skin can cover up many flaws, and Feng is not ugly at all. In addition, with her big, watery eyes, she can truly be described as stunningly beautiful.

Not only the boy in the cage, but even some of the mercenaries outside looked at Feng with ill intent. These people who were in the human trafficking business had no humanity whatsoever. In their eyes, Feng was just a commodity.

The goods had become so beautiful that they were all filled with lust, but no one dared to act out because of the leader's authority. However, a dangerous atmosphere was beginning to spread!

In the distance, in a grove of trees a kilometer away, Yoga Lin sat cross-legged on the ground meditating, while the other trainees were exchanging quiet conversations. This mission would be completed by them alone, and Yoga Lin would not intervene as long as they were not in mortal danger.

He entrusted everything to Ma Rulong, the chief of this mission, who was in full charge.

Ma Rulong is a genius of the academy. At only eighteen years old, his cultivation level has already reached level fifty-nine. Before the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament a year and a half later, he will definitely be able to break through level sixty and become a Soul Emperor.

It's no exaggeration to say that he alone could fight Dulong, so Ma Rulong looked down on Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen, this brother and sister who were just there to gain prestige.

He knew that the two men were of noble status and that he couldn't afford to offend them, but he wasn't afraid of them either. His family also held a significant position in the Sun Moon Empire, and the Mingde Hall couldn't control everything.

"Laughing at the world, if you continue to act so carefree, I guarantee you won't be involved in rescuing the hostages later."

"Can you say that again?"

"Didn't you understand? I'm saying if you keep acting so nonchalant, you'll be watching the show here later, don't go out and embarrass yourself."

"Hmph! Ma Rulong, let me tell you, I'm not only going out later, I'm also going to fight that Soul Emperor. And I'm warning you, you're not allowed to interfere in my battle with my sister, or I'll have my grandfather demote your grandfather."

"Xiao Hongchen, you're shameless! You're using my grandfather to intimidate me. How can you and Meng Hongchen, two Soul Masters, possibly deal with him? If he gets away, what will happen to all these senior students' entrance exams? Are they just going to play along with you?"

“Ma Rulong, I’ll say it again, that human trafficker, Soul Emperor, is my and my sister’s prey. None of you are allowed to interfere. It doesn’t matter if he escapes; I’ll have my grandfather transfer you all to Mingde Hall to make up for your losses.”

"hiss"

Upon hearing Xiao Hongchen's words, everyone gasped in shock. They hadn't expected him to dare utter such a thing. But then, excitement appeared on everyone's faces, and their eyes gleamed with longing.

Even Lin Youjia, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, couldn't help but feel his heart pounding. At this moment, even he couldn't help but have a strange thought: why not just let this Lone Dragon go?

After all, if someone else said that, they would definitely be boasting, but when Xiao Hongchen said it, it was absolutely not true. Because Mingde Hall would back him up, and his confidence came from the esteemed Master of Mingde Hall—Jing Hongchen!
