Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 262 The Wise and Generous Master of Mingde Hall (Second Update)

After seeing off Du Busi, Huo Yuhao's room finally quieted down.

Time flies, and tonight is the most comfortable night's sleep the Shrek team has ever had.

The next morning, after everyone at Shrek Academy had had a good night's sleep and a good meal, they changed into ordinary clothes and quietly left Star Luo City without alerting the Star Luo Empire's officials. This time, Elder Xuan brought back enough flying soul tools from Shrek Academy, and he personally led everyone on their journey, using the flying soul tools to head straight for Shrek Academy.

Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

This is a spacious hall, its entire interior decorated in a metallic style, predominantly in pale gold tones. While not immediately ostentatious, it exudes a sense of understated elegance. A plaque hangs high above the entrance, its large, dark gold characters conveying an aura of imposing authority: Mingde Hall!

"Get up." In the center of the hall sat a man who looked to be in his forties. He was not tall, but he was broad-shouldered.

Well, to describe it in the simplest terms, he's short and chubby.

The short and fat figure is undoubtedly not suitable for long hair, but he has long hair. The brown-red hair is scattered behind his head, which makes his short and thick neck somewhat unclear.

A man who was prostrate on the ground in front of him stood up as if he had been granted a pardon.

"Master, I failed in my leadership this time. Please punish me." Only when he stood up could one see his face clearly. Wasn't he the teacher who led the students to the finals at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy? However, his face was now full of fear and trepidation, as if he was terrified to the extreme.

From his title, one could tell that the short, stout middle-aged man was none other than the renowned head of Mingde Hall, and the grandfather of Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen. His appearance alone did not reveal his actual age; however, his slightly weary eyes suggested that he had not had an easy time lately.

"Well, with such a little monster emerging from Shrek Academy, it wouldn't matter who went instead. At least we haven't come away empty-handed."

Hearing that the hall master didn't intend to punish him, the teacher in charge wiped the cold sweat from his brow, feeling slightly relieved, and said with a fawning smile, "You mean the information about Shrek Academy that we brought back?"

The Hall Master of Mingde nodded slightly: "That's one aspect. The Ultimate Ice combined with twin martial souls, a twelve-year-old Soul King, a self-fused martial soul fusion skill, and that Phoenix Soul Emperor—Hmph, Shrek Academy really has a grand scheme! Shrek Academy had already agreed to an exchange with our academy, but yesterday we suddenly received news that due to internal reasons at Shrek Academy, this exchange program would be postponed. As for how long it will be postponed, they still need to study and decide. It seems they're afraid we'll target those students!"

"It has to be said that no one on the entire continent can surpass Shrek Academy in the search for Soul Masters, which is a real pity. However, this is not your greatest achievement on this trip."

The teacher in charge of the group was a little confused and looked at Master Mingde Hall with a puzzled expression.

Master Mingde slowly stood up. He was less than 1.5 meters tall, but his waist was definitely over 1.5 meters. His hands were behind his back, and a black robe with gold thread patterns covered his round belly.

He walked slowly to the teacher in charge of the team, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "The biggest gain from this competition is that you made Xiao and Meng feel the crisis and know that they should take time to reflect. After returning, they took the initiative to ask to go into seclusion. Especially Xiao, I have never seen him with such a determined and ruthless look in his eyes since he was a child. This is the biggest gain from your trip."

Watching the teacher leading the group leave trembling with fear, Jing Hongchen's originally calm face twitched slightly.

"One hundred and fifty million! The price for Xiao's enlightenment this time is really too high." "Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao, Xiao Shuo Meng seems to be interested in this boy? Heh, stop him? Why stop him? As the saying goes, even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. According to Xiao, Huo Yuhao seems to lack self-control when it comes to the opposite sex. Once he comes to my Sun Moon Empire, he's just a twelve or thirteen-year-old kid who hasn't settled down in any aspect. Who can say what will happen in the future?"

"Furthermore, according to the information I've secretly gathered, although Huo Yuhao is the illegitimate son of the White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire, his relationship with the Dai family can only be described as hostile. Heh, this gives me even more room to maneuver. Besides, how could my granddaughter, Jing Hongchen's granddaughter, be inferior to those little girls from Shrek Academy?"

"Hey, looks like I'll have to make a trip to Shrek Academy. If I don't dispel their concerns, they probably won't dare let Huo Yuhao come to my Sun Moon Empire as an exchange student. Sigh, I'm already so old and I still have to worry about these kids every day. Being a grandfather is so hard!"

Jing Hongchen shook his head and sighed as he turned and walked towards the back hall. He stopped before a wall adorned with metal carvings. A flash of light appeared on his chest, and a strange golden rune seemed to fly out and imprint itself on the wall before him.

Instantly, the entire wall seemed to come alive. With a slight mechanical sound, cracks appeared on both sides. In the dim light, several terrifying energy fluctuations seemed to flash by as the wall cracked, but Jing Hongchen remained unmoved.

The venerable and wise Master Mingde strode in, his head held high, and the wall closed naturally, restoring tranquility to the hall.

Shrek Academy, main entrance.

It was nearly noon, still during class time, and the entrance to Shrek Academy was unusually quiet. The usual vendors who gathered there were nowhere to be seen; only five people stood before the massive gatehouse.

Standing at the front were Yan Shaozhe, Dean of the Martial Arts Department of Shrek Academy, and Xian Lin'er, Dean of the Soul Guidance Department.

The three people behind them are Cai Meier, the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department; Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department; and Fan Yu, a core teacher of the Soul Guidance Department and Huo Yuhao's mentor.

With all four deans present, plus Fan Yu, who was already a shoo-in for the position of vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department, the lineup was undeniably impressive. At this moment, they all tilted their heads slightly, gazing at the distant sky, quietly waiting.

Finally, gradually, the tiny, black-dot-like figures in the distant sky became clearer and slowly descended under their gaze.

"They are back." A smile suddenly appeared on Yan Shaozhe's face.

Xianlin'er had already taken a step forward: "Finally back."

Her eyes revealed obvious excitement, and surprisingly, she did not confront Yan Shaozhe as usual.

Yes, the five of them were there to welcome back the little heroes of Shrek Academy.

One by one, figures landed gracefully. The first one to catch the eye was the unkempt Elder Xuan. Behind him were the three main players who were going to compete in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, as well as the other reserve team members, including He Caitou and Wu Feng, who were temporarily added to the team.

Looking at the familiar starting village and those high-level NPCs, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "I'm back again. I really am the chosen one. Every time I run a dungeon, the rewards are very satisfying!"
