Douluo Dragon King: The stars of the heavens, transform me into king!

Ten thousand years have passed since the Sun Moon Empire unified the Douluo Continent, becoming the Sun Moon Federation of today.

Over the past ten thousand years, the Douluo Federation has made rapid progress in various soul tool technologies, and has produced many powerful individuals!

Meanwhile, above Shrek Academy.

Two powerful figures stood out in mid-air.

One of them had black hair and black eyes, a refined appearance, and held a snow-white spear.

The spear shimmered with faint runes, its light dazzling and possessing an indescribable quality. It was like the highest peak on the entire Douluo Star, insurmountable.

The gunman was none other than Yun Ming, the strongest warrior in the Douluo Federation and the Sky-Supporting Douluo.

His opponent was a young man with black hair and black eyes, exuding a roguish charm. His fingertips were now radiating a star-like brilliance, and his aura was in no way inferior to Yun Ming's.

"Gu Yuexingyan!!! Can't the tax rate be changed?! How did you even come up with the idea of ​​a 100% tax rate?!"

Upon hearing this, the young man merely smiled faintly. He was the wicked demon from beyond the heavens, how could he easily change his mind: "Yun Ming, if you have any opinions, you can speak them out. Why are you fighting? I only raised the tax rate of Shrek City three times this year."

"How dare you say that! You keep increasing taxes on Shrek City for no reason!" Yun Ming had reached his limit. Shrek Academy now relies on its foundation to continue operating, and its autonomy is extremely difficult.

"What's the big deal! Just say it, I'll listen, but I won't change it!" Gu Yuexingyan didn't care about such things at all. As his fingertips fell, it seemed as if a meteorite moved in the sky.

Yun Ming thrust out with his spear, easily breaking through the attack.

"You know you won't listen! Then I'll just have to keep hitting you until you agree!"

"Calm down. Since you think it's too high, let's lower it a bit. We'll only charge you 95% of Shrek City's price, and we'll raise it again tomorrow!"

"Is this your bottom line?" Yun Ming said coldly.

"What? You really want to fight? Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" Gu Yuexingyan dropped his smiling demeanor, his eyes turned cold, and his pupils even turned into two colors, one gold and one silver.

Two martial souls manifested simultaneously on his body.

Star Chess! Sun and Moon Divine Eyes!

The battle armor, radiating a mysterious luster like the universe itself, materialized from the void, appearing piece by piece on his body.

Four-Character Battle Armor - Zhou Tian Xing Dou!

"Yun Ming! You don't actually think you're invincible, do you?" The aura of a quasi-god emanated from the young man.

Yun Ming was not to be outdone, and his magnificent silver-white battle armor appeared.

Four-word Battle Armor - Heaven-Supporting Holy Blessing!

"You have to lower this tax for me today!" His originally gentle voice suddenly erupted in fury, not for any other reason than that the other party had gone too far.

Relying on his position as the Speaker of the Sun and Moon Federation, he acted recklessly, collecting 100% of the taxes from Shrek City, making it a veritable high-tax district. Both Qian Gu Dongfeng and Zang Xin regretted that their headquarters were located in Shrek City. Fortunately, their influence spread across the continent, so the loss of just one Shrek City was still bearable.

But Shrek Academy is different; it's impossible to move there.

He's made the entire Federation so corrupt that if anyone dares to evade taxes, the federal army will be at their doorstep collecting taxes within a day! Is this how he uses the army?!

Gu Yuexingyan made the first move, holding up a dazzling golden ball in his left hand, like a miniature sun, while his right hand held a cold, clear silver moon, exuding a chilling aura.

The sun and moon shine together!

Extreme heat and extreme cold shot out with a roar, the two energies intertwining like a spiral, shattering space wherever they passed.

Yun Ming neither dodged nor evaded, but thrust out his Sky-Piercing Spear. The snow-white spear tip precisely pierced through the point where the energy of the sun and moon converged, instantly breaking through!

Gu Yuexingyan did not panic. He retreated instantly, and his body burst forth with starlight. Stars flew from his fingertips, forming a star barrier in front of him.

The spear's edge met the starlight, breaking through seven layers of defense. At the eighth layer, it finally sensed something was wrong, as if it had fallen into a quagmire.

"What!" Yun Ming was slightly stunned, unable to believe that his attack would be frozen.

"It's not over yet!"

Gu Yuexing clasped his hands together, and day and night were instantly reversed. The sky became dazzling, and the countless stars were still before his eyes.

Countless starlight converged into a cross beam, pouring down like a torrential rain.

Yun Ming's figure suddenly became blurry, and his spear danced swiftly, transforming into an indestructible barrier.

The clanging and clattering sounds were as dense as rain, and occasionally a stray ray of starlight would brush against his battle armor, each time sending up a string of sparks.

Suddenly, all the starlight turned at the same time, converging into a torrent of stardust several meters in diameter.

"Yunming! How about this move?" Gu Yuexingyan grinned.

Seeing this power that transcended mortal comprehension, Yun Ming finally became serious. The Heaven-Supporting Divine Spear went from motionless to still, its tip gathering a point of cold light.

A cold light pierced through the sky, splitting the starry stream in two! The split energy roared past from both sides of Yunming Island, and two booming sounds instantly echoed on Seagod Island.

But his spear thrust remained undiminished, aimed straight at Gu Yuexingyan's brow.

Gu Yuexingyan extended his fingertips, narrowly catching the spear tip that was only inches away from his forehead.

The Spiritual Finger Technique!

The light of the sun, moon, and stars converged at his fingertips, firmly restraining Yun Ming's spear.

The two were locked in a stalemate.

A torrent of energy surged outwards from them, and the space above Shrek Academy began to crumble, revealing jagged, spiderweb-like cracks.

"You can't beat me, Yun Ming." Gu Yuexingyan's golden and silver eyes shone brightly. "Although I wasted some time cultivating my second martial soul, we're still in the same position!"

Yun Ming did not answer, but the tip of his spear trembled slightly.

Suddenly, an even stronger force erupted.

Gu Yuexingyan felt the scorching aura and knew that Yun Ming had already condensed half a godhood, and that he also had his own backup plan.

They weren't afraid that Yun Ming would actually use his demigod status, but they wouldn't budge an inch on the issue of taxation.

You're jumping up and down over a mere 100% tax? Didn't we give each of you a tax-free allowance of 150,000 per year?!

I only charge tax on amounts exceeding that!

They don't even know how to be grateful.

Just as Yun Ming's spear attack was about to reach its peak, Gu Yuexingyan suddenly withdrew all his soul power, deflecting the attack to one side.

The radiance of the sun and moon vanished instantly, and the Zhou Tian Star Armor slowly merged into his body. The withdrawal was clean and swift.

"Enough! Then we'll do as you say, reduce the tax to 95%!" Gu Yuexingyan's voice was calm, his golden and silver eyes returning to their original black. "That's enough for today!"

But deep down he had another thought: Let me see if Shrek Academy's millennia-old heritage is stronger, or if my reforms are more effective!

My dream is to become a god and travel through the universe. I absolutely cannot let Shrek Academy ruin it!

Yun Ming's spear tip hovered in mid-air, the scene from just now replaying in his mind. He had secretly used his demigod status; could it be that he had reached that level as well?

"Now that the tax issue is resolved, I'll be off!" Gu Yuexingyan said, turning and flying towards the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda.

Those who started this trouble shouldn't be let off the hook!

"What do you mean 'resolved'! He was a scoundrel before, and he's even more of a scoundrel now!" Yun Ming was speechless, but 95% was better than 100%.

He clenched his fists, watching the person who was clearly connected to Yali's disappearance vanish before his eyes.
