Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 117 What the heck? Dozens of people fighting over one toilet?

three days later.

Outside the gates of Shrek's inner city, a wide open space was filled with media reporters from all over the continent. Many former Shrek students who had graduated from the outer academy and ordinary people also arrived one after another, their expressions complex, all just to witness this press conference that would go down in history.

The nearby roads are completely congested and require law enforcement officers to clear the congestion.

The reason for this situation is quite simple: Shrek Academy is about to officially hand over its outer school campus to the Spirit Tower.

Shrek Academy, with a history spanning over 14,000 years, is about to come to an end today.

What's truly lamentable is that the outer academy didn't depart with honor, but rather in a manner that bordered on shame, marking their exit from the Soul Master stage.

"The Spirit Pagoda people have arrived!"

"And the new Chief Executive of Shrek City!"

Suddenly, the crowd stirred, and countless cameras and microphones were pointed at the road.

Before long, two hovering soul guide vehicles stopped at the intersection. The doors opened, and several elders of the Spirit Pagoda, led by Tianfeng Douluo Leng Yaozhu, walked out together.

From another car, several officials in formal attire stepped out. The one in the lead exuded an air of authority, yet his demeanor was gentle and welcoming.

As the first federal government official to reside in Shrek City, his name will undoubtedly be recorded in history. Even after leaving office, he will continue to be promoted within the Federation, which is quite a privilege.

In an instant, various media outlets broadcast the scene live across the mainland, and countless people began to witness it.

Beneath the city gate, Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li and Crimson Dragon Douluo Zhuo Shi Jing stood quietly.

Soon, the press conference began. Ya Li, in her capacity as the Vice Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, solemnly apologized to everyone. Zhuo Shi, in his capacity as an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion, announced to the outside world that Shrek Academy would conduct an internal review in the future, and stated that cheating was not only abhorred by the general public, but also extremely rejected by the academy itself.

After the press conference ended, people discovered that Shrek Academy had suddenly retreated into the background, as if it had disappeared.

At the same time, Leng Yaozhu personally announced in front of countless people that once everything is perfected, the Spirit Transmission Academy will officially open its enrollment day. Please stay tuned.

...

"I'm here to conduct research?"

"Young people should be more active. Besides, you wouldn't want to see the teacher running around so much, would you? Please."

In the dean's office at Chuanling Academy, Nan Liujing recalled how his mature and elegant teacher reached out her delicate hand and pinched his cheek, her manner almost like a spoiled child.

Sigh, having such a lovely teacher is just wonderful!

"Bang bang bang."

A crisp knock sounded on the door, and Nan Liujing, sitting on the bench, said, "Come in."

Click.

The door opened, and several figures entered the office in an orderly fashion.

There were both men and women among them; they were all senior deacons temporarily assigned to accompany Nan Liujing on his outer court research trip, and their cultivation levels were generally at the Soul Emperor level.

The higher-ups at the Spirit Pagoda meant that the Spirit Pagoda could be opened, but it couldn't directly adopt all the facilities from the former Shrek Academy's outer courtyard, since many things were outdated.

Anyway, the Spirit Pagoda is so poor that all it has left is money. Since it wants to make the Spirit Academy a signature feature of the Spirit Pagoda, all its supporting facilities must be top-notch!

“Young Master,” the head steward, a woman with a beautiful face, said, “we obtained a detailed map of the outer courtyard’s buildings from Shrek Academy. After conducting an on-site inspection, we discovered some very serious problems.”

"A serious problem?" Nan Liujing immediately sat up straight, afraid that the former owner would cause trouble. "Tell me in detail."

"Yes."

The female deacon wore a light screen soul tool on her wrist. With a gentle wave, a light screen appeared before Nan Liujing's eyes, revealing a map.

Accommodation area, teaching area, fighting arena, secondary profession association, medical area, training area.

The above clearly shows the various building areas of the outer courtyard.

However, there are a few building areas that cannot be moved yet, as they are shared by Shrek Academy and Spirit Transmission Academy, such as the training area, the Soul Arena, and the Secondary Profession Association. Shrek Academy will need to use them at least for the next few years, and they will be completely handed over at that time.

The female butler pointed to the dormitory area and said, "The handover teacher from Shrek Academy first led us to the dormitory area, and then we discovered something terrifying."

Nan Liujing raised an eyebrow.

"Shrek's outer academy dormitories consist of only two buildings: a male dormitory and a female dormitory. Each building has six floors, which is used to divide the six grades. However... the dormitories themselves do not have bathrooms. There is only a public toilet at the end of the corridor. In other words, it's fine for the upper grades when there are fewer people, but for the lower grades, such as first-year students, it's like dozens of students have to fight for one toilet."

"What the heck? Dozens of people are fighting over one toilet?" Nan Liujing was taken aback.

Seeing his expression, the smiles on the faces of the deacons were even harder to suppress than those on AK's face.

They never expected that Shrek Academy, a prestigious and wealthy institution, would be so strict about the accommodation conditions for its students.

There's one thing they haven't mentioned yet: a Shrek Academy teacher named Shen Yi took them to see the work-study student dormitory.

AUVs are simply a disaster!
If it rains, the house will turn into a waterfall. This is no dormitory for work-study students; it's more like a refugee camp.

I wonder what heinous crime the students living inside have committed.

"Tsk." After a while, Nan Liujing chuckled lightly, "Not bad, at least it's not four hundred people fighting over the toilet anymore."

"Huh?" The deacons looked bewildered.

Nan Liujing glanced at them and thought to himself, "You guys are only from the third era of Douyu. If you were in the second era, Shrek Academy's accommodations would be so amazing that people's eyes would pop out."

“The dormitory building must be rebuilt. Now tell me about the other things.”

"Yes."

Soon, the deacons each shared their findings from their on-site investigations.

Nan Liujing compiled the information, went to the site separately to verify the details, and then returned to Tianling Tower.

"A very detailed investigation; it was definitely the right decision to assign this task to you."

Leng Yaozhu sat on the sofa with her legs crossed. Because of her posture, the hem of her skirt was raised to just above her knees.

From Nan Liujing's perspective, she could clearly see those perfectly straight, plump, and beautiful legs. The sunlight shone on them, giving them a lustrous sheen, without a single flaw.

Leng Yaozhu's legs were definitely the longest Nan Liujing had ever seen, and her body proportions were excellent, so she didn't give people a strange feeling at all.

"Ah."

Holding the summary folder, Leng Yaozhu suddenly chuckled, "Dozens of people scrambling for one toilet, Shrek Academy really treats the outer academy students like enemies. The inner academy's accommodations are so much better."

"Teacher, this is my personal plan for the academy's development. You can take a look." Nan Liujing took out a tablet, which contained his opinions on establishing the Spirit Transmission Academy, which he had been compiling over the past few days.

Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes brightened slightly as she reached out and took it.

Because Shrek Academy's decision to transfer to the outer academy was made on short notice, the Spirit Pagoda didn't have a detailed plan for its establishment, and Leng Yaozhu herself didn't understand these things very well. The plan was essentially Nan Liujing's advance outline of the original direction for establishing the Time-Space Spirit Pagoda, though it also included some of his own ideas.

The Spirit Transmission Academy can be divided into the Soul Master Academy and the Mecha Academy.

Soul Master Academy can be further divided into ordinary academies and advanced academies, with the advanced academies being comparable to Shrek Academy's inner academy.

The general college requires students to be under 15 years old, have a second-ring cultivation level, and have a six-year program. It admits students every two years, and students must reach the fourth ring by the age of 20 at the latest in order to graduate.

If one can reach the Soul King level before the age of twenty-one, one can enter an advanced academy.

The mecha academy is also divided into a regular mecha academy and an advanced mecha academy. The regular mecha academy provides normal instruction for mechas of white, yellow, and purple levels.

The admission requirements are the same as those of the Soul Master Academy, but the semester is twelve years. If you reach the fifth level of mecha pilot and are proficient in operating purple-level mecha, you can graduate early. You can also apply for the entrance examination during this period. If you pass, you can enter the advanced mecha academy and experience black-level and even red-level mecha.

The more she looked, the brighter Leng Yaozhu's wine-red eyes became.

Seeing that she was interested, Nan Liujing smiled and said, "Teacher, I haven't gotten the welfare system and some details right. You'll need to discuss these with the other senior executives."

When doing things, you have to leave room for improvement and give the leadership room to fill in the gaps. Nan Liujing deliberately didn't arrange for welfare benefits.

"I trust you to do things well." Leng Yaozhu was quite satisfied. After reading the plan, she looked up and smiled at her disciple, "There's something I need to ask you to do."

“Please speak,” Nan Liujing said.

Leng Yaozhu said, "Because of the scandal, nearly 80% of the students in the first three grades of Shrek Academy dropped out. Among these students who dropped out, there were many promising talents. You helped Shrek Academy reform and brought many benefits to the outer academy. They must remember your kindness."

"Here's what you do: ask the teachers if they'd be willing to join the Spirit Transmission Academy. If they are, once the teachers have perfected the academy's system, they can be promoted to the first batch of students in the advanced academy, and resources will be prioritized for them. After determining who joins, you can tell them that the Spirit Transmission Tower will cover all the resources they need for their One-Word Battle Armor. The top five students you think are the strongest will also receive all the materials needed for their Two-Word Battle Armor as a reward."

Nan Liujing became interested: "Then I'll contact them as soon as possible." He had already added Li Qiankun and Mo Jue from the second year on their contact lists, so communication was very convenient. As for the first year students, Yuan Enyehui could help. It was just that he didn't know anyone from the third year, so he could only see how things went.

Just do it.

Nan Liujing quickly contacted Li Qiankun and Mo Jue, who had dropped out of school and returned home.

They were both surprised to receive Nan Liujing's call, and after learning the reason for his visit, they agreed almost immediately.

Even though Nan Liujing told them that it would take a long time for the Chuanling Academy to be officially completed, and that they could only cultivate at home during that time, Li Qiankun and Mo Jue still said it didn't matter. They were even willing to help contact the classmates who were favored, as well as some outstanding geniuses in the third year.

Everything went extremely smoothly here, and Nan Liujing then sought help from Yuan Enyehui.

There were no difficulties. The genius Soul Master who dropped out in the first year was successfully contacted, but his attitude was not as firm as Li Qiankun and Mo Jue's. He only said that he needed to seriously consider it.

consider?

Nan Liujing immediately rejected these people.

If you don't buy the initial shares during the early stages of the company's establishment, it'll be too late once it goes public!
Nan Liujing's mission ended with the contact, and he spent a few days happily playing with Na'er. The scandal obviously did not affect Na'er's amazing appetite. During this time, the two also watched the movie that they had missed before. Taking advantage of the dim environment of the movie theater, Na'er intentionally or unintentionally tested him, constantly rubbing his hand with her delicate skin.

Nan Liujing's attitude was clear. He immediately grasped Na'er's hand. He didn't say anything, but Na'er understood.

Gu Yue began arduous training under Leng Yaozhu's guidance. Although the researchers at the research institute were disappointed, they also understood that Gu Yue was a Soul Master first and a researcher second.

Taking the insights Nan Liujing had given her, Ye Xinglan first withdrew from Shrek Academy, and then immediately chose to go into seclusion to cultivate.

Wu Siduo returned to Xingluo City and continued to maintain her reputation as the number one genius in Xingluo City. Occasionally in the evening, she would sit on the bench in the small garden where she used to live and look up at the bright moon, a smile always appearing on her lips.

Yuan Enhui learned about the War God Training Camp and also chose to train hard. She did not tell Nan Liujing that she also wanted to sign up for the training camp, simply because she longed to become his right-hand man.

Everything is going smoothly.

As the fervor surrounding the federal competition gradually subsides, people are returning to the struggles of daily life.

After several meetings among the high-ranking members of the Spirit Tower, most of the contents of Nan Liujing's proposal were finally approved, and the former Shrek outer courtyard was renovated, with construction scenes visible everywhere.

Shrek's inner city is very large, after all, it is the area of ​​the entire Shrek City ten thousand years ago, and many places have not been developed.

After Shrek Academy vacated the outer courtyard, everything fell silent. The outer courtyard students who hadn't withdrawn moved to the inner courtyard for instruction, mingling with the inner courtyard's prospective students. Occasionally, students leaving the inner courtyard would see the buildings that once belonged to Shrek's outer courtyard demolished and the familiar forest paths gradually changing, and they couldn't help but sigh.

Shrek Academy's outer courtyard gradually transformed into the shape of the Spirit Transmission Academy.

A year and a half later.

In the deep, dark space, several figures stood side by side.

The person on the left was none other than Qian Gu Dong Feng, while the two on the right were the Holy Spirit Cult's Ghost Emperor Ax and Dark Blood Demon, one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

The Dark Blood Demon appeared to be an ordinary, thin, middle-aged man, his figure concealed within a large, dark red cloak.

"Continue," the Ghost Emperor said calmly.

The Dark Blood Demon nodded, his fingertips touching. A strange, crimson light condensed in the circular space between them, seemingly mixed with low murmurs. Strands of crimson light detached and finally merged into the tightly locked, trapped soul not far away.

Before long, the soul's face suddenly twisted, and she opened her eyes, which were blood red and filled with confusion and bewilderment.

The Dark Blood Demon watched Cai Yue'er with delight. Although his cultivation method was fast, its drawbacks were extremely obvious. Every time he tormented and devoured the soul of his prey, he would be corroded by a trace of residual evil thoughts. Over time, this would put a very heavy burden on his body. Therefore, although he was only in his forties, he already showed signs of aging.

There are ways to alleviate the situation: the Golden Ancient Tree, advancing to the Divine Origin Realm, or absorbing powerful souls to enhance existing spiritual power can all prolong life.

Over the years, he has been devouring Cai Yue'er's soul. Although the amount was relatively small each time, it accumulated over time, and he was able to achieve absolute control over it.

All of this was for the grand plan that followed.

The Ghost Emperor asked, "How's the God-Slaying Cannonball coming along?"

Qian Gu Dongfeng frowned and said, "The progress is not very smooth, but it is still under control."

"I need an exact time." The Ghost Emperor was too lazy to argue with Qian Gu Dongfeng.

Qian Gu Dongfeng looked displeased, but forced himself to remain patient and said, "Within two years."

"Two years?" The Ghost Emperor's voice suddenly became shrill.

Qian Gu Dongfeng said in a deep voice, "The Federation only has three God-Slaying-level fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, which are stored with extremely strict security. Do you really think they are like cabbages on the roadside that you can just take away? Two years is already considered good."

The Ghost Emperor fell silent.

Qian Gu Dongfeng said in a gentle tone, "It is extremely difficult to eliminate Yun Ming with a God-Slaying Cannonball. We must have Cai Yue'er return to Shrek Academy to conduct precise calculations and detonate it at the most appropriate time. This will also take time, as you know."

"Two years at most, not a day later!" The Ghost Emperor issued his final ultimatum.

Qian Gu Dongfeng's figure vanished: "In six months, we will have to return Cai Yue'er's soul. Remember, we must ensure that she retains some self-awareness to avoid being exposed, but we must also be absolutely able to control her. If we fail to do this, we will bear the consequences!"

As soon as the ancient east wind left, the Dark Blood Demon immediately said respectfully, "Rest assured, Cai Yue'er will not have any chance to resist at that time."

The Ghost Emperor narrowed his eyes but remained silent.
