Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Mu En and Long Xiaoyao were still puzzled by Sheng Yangyue's words, "I lost," and the surrounding students were also bewildered, not understanding what this reversal of fortune meant.

Just then, Sheng Yangyue's figure suddenly shattered like broken glass, turning into countless strands of pitch-black dark elements. They swirled in the moonlight for a moment before completely dissipating into the air without leaving a trace.

Silence, deathly silence.

The next second, everyone realized what was happening, and gasps of shock filled the air.

It turns out that from beginning to end, the one who confronted them and was defeated by them with all their might was just a clone!
Wang Xinshi could no longer maintain his composure. He suddenly jumped up from his seat, his eyes wide open, staring intently at the lotus leaf where Sheng Yangyue had disappeared, his body trembling slightly.

He was a powerful Limit Douluo with unfathomable soul power, yet he couldn't see through that Sheng Yangyue was a clone from beginning to end!
How can this be? !
Mu En and Long Xiaoyao's faces instantly turned purplish-red, as if a raging fire had been stuffed into their chests, almost burning them to ashes.

They had trained diligently for a year, honing their martial soul fusion skills day and night, all for the sake of avenging their previous defeat and defeating Sheng Yangyue today.

They exhausted all their soul power and unleashed a terrifying attack comparable to a peak Douluo, but in the end, they only defeated one of the opponent's clones!
What kind of victory is this?
This is blatant humiliation! It's a mockery that goes straight to the bone!

It's as if they were begging like beggars, only to receive a piece of moldy bread thrown to them by a passerby as charity; or as if they were climbing a mountain with all their might, thinking they had finally reached the summit, only to find that it was just a mound of dirt casually piled up by someone else.

This humiliation is a thousand times worse than killing them!
"Oh right, Xi Shui!" Mu En suddenly remembered another goal of his trip and quickly turned to look in the direction of the female student.

But upon looking, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his blood seemed to freeze—Ye Xishui's figure had already disappeared from the group of female students.

At that moment, he understood everything.

Long Xiaoyao also sensed something was wrong. Following Mu En's gaze, he saw the empty seat and his mind completely collapsed.

Once a spirited and promising genius, hailed as the future of Shrek Academy, the Twin Holy Dragons were now completely drained of their strength, slumped on the lotus leaf, their eyes vacant, utterly reduced to a laughingstock.

Deep within Shrek Academy, in a secluded and gloomy corner, stood a lone willow tree.

Sheng Yangyue sat under the willow tree, a notebook on her lap, a pen in her hand, and was writing something down.

The scratching sound of the pen tip gliding across the paper is the only sound here.

Seemingly sensing something, the pen tip paused slightly before continuing to move across the paper.

"I didn't expect that not only would you discover the clues about that clone, but it would also be defeated by those two. You agree, don't you, Ye Xishui?"

Sheng Yangyue put down her pen, closed her notebook, and looked up.

Under the moonlight, Ye Xishui's figure slowly walked over and stopped in front of him.

"If I hadn't shared a room with you and become familiar with your soul power fluctuations, I wouldn't have noticed that it was a clone." Ye Xishui's voice carried a hint of complexity. She had a thousand words to say, but in the end, they all boiled down to one question: "What is the point of what you did?"

It wasn't that she didn't want to say more, but she was afraid that if she opened her mouth, the man in front of her would use his spatial abilities to disappear without a trace.

And her sixth sense told her that this guy was already preparing to leave.

"Is 'fun' enough of a reason?" A faint smile appeared on Sheng Yangyue's lips.

"Teasing so-called geniuses and undermining their confidence?" Ye Xishui continued, following his words, and sat down next to him.

This time, Sheng Yangyue did not refuse, but simply looked at her quietly.

The two sat side by side under the willow tree, the moonlight filtering through the leaves and casting dappled shadows on them.

Time passes slowly in silence.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Xishui broke the silence first: "Now, can you tell me your true purpose? You madman who toyed with three geniuses!" "Purpose~" Sheng Yangyue raised his head, looked at the brilliant starry sky, and after a moment of silence, slowly said, "Everything I did was only to help Him become a god."

"Why? What is the significance of doing this?" Ye Xishui pressed.

“There is meaning in what I am doing.” Sheng Yangyue’s tone was calm, but it carried an undeniable firmness.

"But people are born..."

“I am not human.” Sheng Yangyue interrupted her, looking at her calmly. “I do not understand what humans call emotions, do you understand, Lady Ye Xishui?”

"Hmm." Ye Xishui didn't look at him anymore, lowered her head, and her gaze fell on a small ant crawling on the ground.

After a long pause, she asked softly, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"No need."

"Please." Ye Xishui's voice carried a barely perceptible plea.

"Why? What is the significance?" This time, it was Sheng Yangyue's turn to ask her.

Ye Xishui raised her head to meet his gaze, her eyes filled with utmost seriousness: "At the very least, during the time I spent with you, I found the meaning of my life."

Saint Yangyue was like a combination of the sun and the moon. Beside him, she was no longer the demon treated as a killing machine; she felt an unprecedented peace and reality.

Faced with Ye Xishui's resolute gaze, Sheng Yangyue remained silent for a long while before slowly speaking: "Then are you willing to die for my future, my dearest friend?"

"So, in your heart, I'm a close friend." Ye Xishui was stunned for a moment, then a relieved smile appeared on her lips, and there was even a hint of happiness in her eyes. "If it's a close friend's request, I'm willing."

Upon hearing her agreement, Sheng Yangyue did not hesitate at all and took out two items from her bosom—one was a spatial authority that exuded a strong spatial aura and carried fortune, and the other was a simple silver necklace.

He handed the two items to Ye Xishui: "Then I'll leave it to you."

"They will fight their way out for their best friends."

Ye Xishui reached out her trembling hand and accepted the necklace and the spatial authority.

At that moment, she knew that everything seemed unstoppable... She struggled to her feet and realized that she had to leave.

But after taking just one step, she stopped, turned back to look at Sheng Yangyue, and asked softly, "Is it worth it?"

Sheng Yangyue also stood up. After hearing the question, he thought about it seriously for a moment before solemnly answering, "It is inevitable that I would offer my life to ascend to God for Him."

"As long as I firmly believe, it's worth it."

"I understand." Ye Xishui nodded, then resolutely walked in one direction without looking back.

Sheng Yangyue then turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

One person achieved freedom, while the other faced an inevitable sacrifice.

Sheng Yangyue took out the invitation to the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event from her bosom, a carefree smile on her face, without the slightest fear: "Next, is the last task."

"My true form, I will fight my way out for you!"
