Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting-Novel

Chapter 261: Don’t let me see you again

The sloppy, middle-aged man interrupted her, “My place is completely deserted every year with only two or three kittens. And this year, he was the only one to report. I want to see how you want to snatch him away from me. Furthermore, with me there, he will get to train his Martial Soul as well without any interference. At most, I will share his state with all of you. I’m taking him. His abilities will also be a great aid to him piloting a space warship. His physique is extremely suited to be a pilot. The Command Faculty have not received a talent like him for many years.”

The pretty president frowned, “Let the academy decide as to which faculty he will be assigned to. You’re only the dean of the Outer Court Space Command Faculty, what gives you the right to come to me and take a person? Go back.”

“Ying Luohong, don’t go too far. Even during our days as husband and wife, there has been a profound grace between the two of us. Even though the two of us have split...” When the sloppy middle-aged man had spoken these words, the pretty president’s face changed completely. She immediately flickered in front of him and had her hand raised, as though to slap him.

In her palm was a faint yet distorting light.

The sloppy, middle-aged man’s body trembled slightly as though he had the intention of dodging. In the end, he stopped and allowed her palm to strike his chest.

The face of the pretty president, Ying Luohong, changed. She immediately retracted her palm and with a ‘bang,’ the sloppy, middle-aged man was thrown out of the room, smashing into the wall outside.

“Why didn’t you dodge?” Ying Luohong questioned in anger.

The sloppy, middle-aged man gave a bitter smile, “I was the one who wronged you back then. I’ve said it before: if you want to kill me, you can do so anytime. Whatever, I’m off; you can keep the child. And you can find another Space Command dean. I’m leaving the academy.”

“Are you threatening me?” The pretty president’s face turned icy!

The sloppy, middle-aged man’s face was ashen: “Think of it however you want.” With that, he stood up and staggered out.

Ying Luohong’s face changed. “Asshole, this will only happen once and never again. Get lost! Get lost right now, don’t let me see you again.”

The sloppy, middle-aged man froze for a moment before quickening his footsteps.

The pretty president did not see it, but the dirtied face actually had a faint smile as he ran away.

‘She still cares about me.’

Lan Xuanyu only saw Dong Qianqiu when they were about to move to the comprehensive exam grounds. Due to their outstanding performance in the eliminations, Dong Qianqiu and Lan Mengqin had drawn the attention from others, causing countless students to occasionally cast glances at them.

There were a number of powerful four-ring Soul Masters in the exam, with more than 20 of those that were similar to Bing Tianliang. But in terms of strength, Lan Mengqin was most probably the strongest among the females.

And the other one that had plenty of attention was naturally the only five-ring Soul Master, Yuanen Huihui.

He appeared to dislike crowds and stood further away alone. He ignored people who greeted him and maintained a cold expression. Eventually, no one bothered to greet the indifferent person anymore. But everyone felt that it was normal for him to be like so with his strength.

Lan Xuanyu naturally paid attention to Yuanen Huihui as well, a person with the strength of five Soul Rings could quickly kill off two-Soul Ring Soul Masters. Everyone had witnessed Yuanen Huihui’s battle. His Martial Soul was a longbow, and he was proficient at long range attacks. Such a Soul Master would place emphasis on offense which meant that Yuanen Huihui’s offensive capabilities were extremely powerful. Adding the support of his powerful Soul Power, almost no one in the competition could deal with his all out attack or, at the very least, would have difficulty.

But in other words, to wield such powerful offensive capabilities meant that his defensive abilities would definitely be weaker. So, the method against him would be to use their strongest attacks to control him, and eliminate him at the fastest speed possible.

His thoughts turned to Deep Blue Gaze. Can our Martial Soul Fusion technique Deep Blue Gaze control him?

At this time, Dong Qianqiu was coincidentally looking at him. The two pairs of eyes looked at each other with Dong Qianqiu giving him a querying look as though to ask, ‘Is there something, Lan Xuanyu?’ Lan Xuanyu returned a smile and shook his head, indicating that there was nothing.

Dong Qianqiu’s face turned cold and turned away, but her ears were evidently slightly red.

Right at this time, Xiao Qi walked over and arrived before the students. “Alright, the final examination is about to begin. For the final comprehensive exam, all of you will sit on the spaceship to the grounds. Let me remind all of you, everything there is real, and you will face real battles. You will be up against actual enemies—cruel and savage enemies. They all wield abilities to kill you. A few teachers will go along, but we can’t take care of every single one of you. All of you only have one life, let me emphasize on this. This is not a simulated cabin or Soul World. If you die, you die. If you survive, you survive. Move out, get on board. We will be heading to Shrek Space Center.”

‘We need to take a spaceship to the examination grounds. Are we going to a new planet?’

Xiao Qi’s words took everyone by surprise.

In fact, not all the students had received the support from their teachers and families after choosing to participate in the final comprehensive exam. After all, they were all powerful children; which family would not treat them as their babies? Many of their parents were unwilling to let their children face such dangers.

But it was as Xiao Qi had said: all of them had to be responsible for their own choices. Although the participants were only 12 years old, they had made their choices. Since they had done so, no one could regret it. That was how powerful Shrek was.

So, on this day, all the students were gathered, but they were no longer as excited as before. Many of them had hesitation and doubts in their eyes, even fear. They were, after all, only 12-year-olds.

Before walking out the door, Xiao Qi’s gaze swept past Lan Xuanyu and onto Liu Feng. He looked at the expressionless young man that had determination in his eyes. That youth stood as straight as a spear beside the suave Lan Xuanyu, steady and tempered. The battle that day had definitely affected him; by the looks of it, it should have helped his growth. ‘I hope he will produce good results in this competition.’

Liu Feng could sense Xiao Qi’s gaze but was unwilling to look at him. In fact, he was unsure of how he felt toward Teacher Xiao.

He could clearly remember the day he was beaten, how Teacher Xiao had brutally stepped and broken his bones. It was his first time experiencing the true pain of having his bones broken, and feeling the sensation of the bones penetrating his body. He did not dare recall the incident.

However, he was able to clearly remember that after being cured by the angelic teacher, it was Teacher Xiao that had recounted an ancient martial art to him.

Liu Feng was able to remember the last thing Teacher Xiao had said to him, “If you don’t have enough talent, you need to put your life on the line to fight. If you don’t dare, go home.”

The ancient martial art was not difficult to learn and could be said to be extremely simple. It was an ancient martial art that activated an individual’s blood and qi. But when he told Teacher Ji about the ancient martial art, Teacher Ji actually told him the side effects of it. It was a type of sacrificial martial arts, the type that either one of the combatants had to die.

Ji Hongbin then warned him specially to only use it as a last resort, and never to utilize it on a whim.

They left the building and boarded the vehicle. Three Soul Guidance buses ferried the students out of Shrek Academy and onto Shrek City’s Ring Lake Road.

Shrek City actually has its own Space Center? Lan Xuanyu looked out the window and pondered to himself.

As they were on Ring Lake Road, they were able to see the Sea God Lake. Although the lake was surrounded by structures, the road was elevated; they were able to see through the structures and have a view of the clear lake water.

The tall Eternal Tree that shot into the clouds stood in the center. As Lan Xuanyu’s gaze landed on the trunk of the large tree, he unknowingly felt a gentleness at his glabella.
