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

The shock in my heart had not yet faded when the memories of last night rushed in like razor blades.

I recall the suffocating sense of oppression that permeated the entire manor.

She recalled Gu Yuexingyan's seemingly all-seeing gaze, which seemed to easily peel away her disguise.

Thinking back to the cold sweat that seeped down my back when I left,

Threat.

A blatant threat, one that is not even bothered to conceal.

That Gu Yuexingyan is definitely a major threat to the rise of soul beasts. He is like an insurmountable and incomprehensible mountain, standing in front of her and in the way of all her plans.

And now...

Her gaze fell once again on the bewildered black-haired boy. He possessed the power of the Golden Dragon King, though it came from a strange source. It was indeed a fragment of supreme authority split from the Dragon God, originating from the same source as her but opposed to it.

As the tide of horror receded completely, a surge of desire arose within me.

The chilling sense of oppression from last night is no longer just a source of fear, but has become the most powerful catalyst.

A simple, straightforward idea popped into her mind.

If we could obtain the power of the Golden Dragon King...

If one could devour and merge these origins that are of the same but opposing nature...

Then, the complete authority of the Dragon God will no longer be an unattainable legend.

At that time, the Silver Dragon King's elemental control and the Golden Dragon King's absolute power and formidable physique will be combined into one.

That will be the time when the Dragon God reappears.

Such a golden opportunity must be seized and resolved quickly!

Risks? Of course there are.

But the prospect of profit is even more tempting.

The fact that the power of the Golden Dragon King was seized from humans is unprecedented, so someone must have left it behind and must have a backup plan.

But compared to having no chance of ever getting ahead under the terrifying power of Gu Yuexingyan, any risk is worth taking!

She slowly loosened her grip on the book pages, and some color returned to her knuckles.

The turbulent waves in his eyes gradually subsided, then sank into a deeper darkness.

Just as the whispers continued in the classroom, a chilling cold, as if it were tangible, instantly drowned out all the subtle noise and scrutiny.

A white figure stepped into the classroom.

Wu Changkong had changed into the dark gray uniform of the Mingdu Academy teachers, but the uniform still looked as crisp as armor on him, making his ice-blue hair and cold face even more striking.

He walked straight to the podium, his gaze calmly sweeping over the entire class, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

He stood behind the podium, without looking at the lesson plan or making any extra opening remarks.

"My name is Wu Changkong." His voice wasn't loud, but it was as clear as an icicle striking the ground, instantly piercing through the entire space. "From today onwards, I will be your class's homeroom teacher."

The message was brief and clear. There was no welcome, no expectation, only a cold, emotionless notification.

The students' gazes immediately changed. Curiosity, disdain, and even their previous attention towards the new students were replaced by a feeling of awe.

One look at them and you know they're not some teacher who's easy to fool!

His gaze shifted to Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, who stood awkwardly by the door.

"You two," he gestured with his chin, "introduce yourselves."

Tang Wulin took a deep breath, stepped forward, looked at the new classmate in front of him with his dark eyes, and said in a steady voice, "My name is Tang Wulin, I come from Aolai City, and my martial soul is... Blue Silver Grass."

Xie Xie quickly followed, puffing out his chest: "I am Xie Xie, from Donghai City, wielding the Martial Soul Light Dragon Dagger!"

After the introduction, several very low, barely suppressed chuckles and whispers came from the audience.

"Quiet!!!"

Wu Changkong's face remained expressionless, showing neither approval nor disdain. He simply nodded, as if he were merely entering two data points. He pointed to two empty seats in the back row: "Take your seats."

After the two sat down, he began today's lessons, and the days of Mingdu Academy belonging to Tang Wulin and Xie Xie officially began.

On the other side of the classroom by the window, there were several rows of seats away from where Gu Yue was.

There sat a young girl, standing out from the students around her, all dressed in white and gold uniforms and engrossed in the projection screen.

She had dazzling, shimmering golden hair, tied into a neat high ponytail at the back of her head, the ends of which swayed gently with her impatient little movements.

A pair of rare blue eyes were currently glancing sideways at the angular, cold outlines of the Mingdu Academy buildings outside the window.

His pupils held undisguised disgust and a hint of suppressed anxiety.

She was Ye Xinglan, and in this class, she was the toughest one.

But with Wu Changkong around, they're just easy targets.

She still longed for Shrek Academy; that was the place a genius like her should go.

She should have been there.

On the shores of Poseidon Lake, in a campus brimming with legend and freedom, in a place that gathers the continent's top geniuses and strongest teachers, pursue the glory of the Star God Sword and the ultimate in one's own swordsmanship.

But by sheer chance, her family's decision—a seemingly insignificant yet incredibly powerful transfer order—shoved her into this place—Mingdu Academy, a massive machine made of steel and soul-guided technology.

however……

Her gaze still involuntarily drifted towards the window.

Through the glass, one can see several towering buildings in the distance of the academy, their tips seemingly piercing the sky. These are the symbols of Mingdu, and also the abode of that person.

Ancient moon and star formations.

The number one person under the starry sky. This title is like a brand, etched into the hearts of every young soul master who knows the secrets of the continent's top powerhouses.

Even someone as proud as her had to admit that it was someone she could only look up to.

He is like a star in the sky, seemingly able to rival the sun and moon in brilliance.

But who can predict the future?

Just wait. It might be you now. But in the future... the number one under the starry sky will definitely be me, Ye Xinglan.

If Gu Yuexingyan heard this, he would definitely sneer and mock, "Perhaps you are the number one person under the stars, but I am still the strongest person above the stars!"

Don't view this endless world with your narrow perspective!

She withdrew her gaze and looked back at Wu Changkong's cold lecture on the podium.

The class continued, but Gu Yue's mind was not on the classroom. He turned his thoughts and transmitted his voice to the three beasts.

"Emperor Tian, ​​Bear Lord, King of Ten Thousand Demons"

"Assemble. Mingdu."

"Hide and await orders."

There was no explanation, no specific instructions. It was merely a location, a state. But the sense of urgency it conveyed startled the beasts.

Di Tian even suspected that the Lord wanted to take action against Gu Yuexingyan, but with the Lord's current strength, it was far from enough!

He immediately led the other two ferocious beasts to Mingdu cautiously. If he used spatial power, Gu Yuexingyan would definitely discover him immediately!

But he didn't know that Gu Yue wanted to fulfill his dream and recreate the Dragon God.
