Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 147 Taking a hard line? Guess why Moon didn't make things difficult for me?
"Who? Come out!"

Dark purple soul power appeared on Ling Shuang's body. He stared intently at a certain spot, his eyes wary.

"Good lad, not bad." A slightly surprised voice rang out, and a figure appeared out of thin air opposite Ling Shuang.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Ling Shuang was slightly taken aback, then a mocking smile appeared on her lips: "So it's Elder Xuan. Why are you here in the middle of the night?"

Xuanzi looked at Ling Shuang with a complicated expression.

To be honest, Xuanzi found it quite unbelievable that he had just arrived and was discovered by Ling Shuang.

Although he wasn't exactly a Soul Master skilled in stealth, he was still a level 98 Super Douluo. Logically speaking, even an ordinary Soul Douluo would have a hard time detecting him, but Ling Shuang, a Soul King, discovered him immediately.

It must be said that he truly deserves to be praised by Master Mu as the only top genius in this world.

Only now did Xuanzi understand why Elder Mu had made an exception and allowed Huo Yuhao to pursue dual cultivation.

Faced with such a monstrous genius, even with the ultimate ice and twin martial souls, it's really hard to see any hope of surpassing him without taking some special path!

After the initial amazement came the regret.

Why is it that such a genius has gained power but cannot be used by Shrek Academy?

Otherwise, he wouldn't have made this special trip today.

Suppressing his inner turmoil, Xuanzi once again adopted the haughty demeanor of an elder: "I have come here today to discuss something with you."

Although the words were meant to be a discussion, Xuanzi's attitude was extremely arrogant, as if he were bestowing a favor upon Ling Shuang.

"What is there for us to discuss?" Ling Shuang said dismissively.

He actually admired Xuanzi quite a bit. Even though they had such a bad falling out back then, Xuanzi still took the initiative to come up to him to discuss things.

You have to admire that level of shamelessness.

“I know you have grievances against the academy, which is why you came to Star Luo Royal Academy to participate in this competition. But the academy couldn’t do anything about that. You went too far, and the academy had no choice but to do this.”

"However, the academy is willing to give you a chance. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the academy's official team has encountered some problems. As long as you help the academy win the championship in this competition, the academy can wipe the slate clean and let you return to the academy."

Xuanzi completely ignored Ling Shuang's speechless gaze and continued talking with great interest, even getting more and more excited as if Ling Shuang was asking to return to the academy.

"And I can promise you that if you help the academy win the championship in this competition, you can directly enter the inner academy after returning to the academy, and it's even possible that you will qualify as the next Shrek Seven Devils. How about it?"

Xuanzi looked confident of victory, believing that Ling Shuang would not be able to refuse such a condition.

Returning to Shrek Academy and becoming an inner member, with the possibility of even becoming the next Shrek Seven Devils, is such an honor!

He never imagined that Ling Shuang would refuse such "tempting" terms.

Looking at the confident Xuanzi in front of her, Ling Shuang's lips twitched slightly.

He simply couldn't understand why anyone would be so confident.

"You mean, you want me to withdraw from Star Luo Royal Academy and return to your Shrek Academy to help you win this competition?"

“That’s right. The reason you joined Star Luo Royal Academy is because you still have feelings for the academy and are dissatisfied. As long as you agree, none of the conditions I just mentioned will change.” Xuanzi was still completely unaware of Ling Shuang’s speechless expression.

Ling Shuang rubbed her temples and sighed softly.

How can someone be so ordinary yet so confident?

At first, he thought Xuanzi was going to tempt him with some kind of soul bone, but it turned out to be a condition that left him speechless.

Do you really think Shrek Academy is some kind of holy land that everyone wants to enter? If it weren't for the Golden Ancient Tree, he wouldn't have come to Shrek Academy even if he had gone to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

“I refuse.” Ling Shuang stated her position directly.

This made Xuanzi's eyes widen instantly. He obviously hadn't expected Ling Shuang to refuse his "generous" offer.

"I have no attachment to your academy. The reason I joined Xingluo Royal Academy to help them participate in this competition is simply because I promised Princess Xu Jiujiu."

"Take care, and don't bother seeing me out." Ling Shuang gestured for her to leave.

Xuanzi, who had been rejected, remained where he was, showing no intention of leaving, his face ashen.

In his view, Ling Shuang's refusal was an insult to Shrek Academy.

"Since that's the case, then don't blame this old man!"

A dark yellow soul force erupted from Xuanzi and swept towards Ling Shuang.

Since Ling Shuang wouldn't cooperate, he had no choice but to find a way to get her to cooperate. Shrek Academy's eternal glory absolutely could not end like this!
"Tsk tsk, this reveals their true colors."

Despite Xuanzi's imposing presence, Ling Shuang showed no sign of panic.

He was certainly no match for Xuanzi, who was at level 98, but that didn't mean he was afraid of Xuanzi.

With such a commotion, it's impossible that Xue Di didn't notice it.

The thick, dark yellow soul power pressed down on Ling Shuang with immense force, causing the items in the room to shatter and crumble under its pressure.

Ling Shuang sat on the bed, her soul power protecting the bed beneath her from any impact. Her hair flew wildly, but a mocking smile played on her lips.

"Didn't Moon tell you why he didn't make things difficult for me?"

Upon hearing this, Xuanzi, who was filled with anger, seemed to suddenly sense something, and his pupils contracted sharply.

The next moment, a flash of cold light streaked past.

Xuanzi felt a chill run down his spine, his attack on Ling Shuang vanished, and he hurriedly turned around.

But in the end, they were still a step behind.

Blood splattered as a white, chilling sword pierced through Xuanzi's chest.

If he hadn't moved his body slightly, the hole that was pierced through him wouldn't have been his chest, but rather his heart, which was only centimeters away!
Xuanzi retreated rapidly, rushed out of the room, and came to the courtyard.

The Snow Emperor, dressed in white, sheathed her longsword. The blood on the sword turned into frost, which then dissipated, transforming into countless ice crystals that vanished into the world.

A chilling killing intent emanated from those pure white, snow-white eyes.

Xue Di first glanced at Ling Shuang, and seeing that he was not injured, she picked up her long sword and walked outside.

In the courtyard, Xuanzi clutched the wound on his chest with one hand, while looking solemnly at the white-clad figure that walked out of the room.

Wherever my footsteps touched, frost froze, just like the far north!
He could feel the terrifying, abyss-like pressure emanating from that beautiful figure.

That feeling was just like facing Elder Mu!
Is this the mysterious powerhouse behind Ling Shuang?
Xuanzi never expected that a powerhouse of this caliber would be staying right next to Ling Shuang.

Damn it, I miscalculated!
