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

744 – One Of The Shrek Seven Monsters

??That’s right, the person who suddenly appeared beside Lin Mohua was Elder Shu.

Elder Shu looked at Lan Xuanyu with a smile, his eyes filled with satisfaction. He nudged Lin Mohua and smiled. “How is he ?”

Lin Mohua gave him a thumbs up and said, “Not bad, your eyes are still as sharp !”

“Are you implying that I’m old?” Elder Shu retorted.

Lin Mohua laughed. “You’re almost 1,000 years old, aren’t you old ? I feel like I’m getting old.”

Lan Xuanyu finally understood something. “Elder Shu, Dean Lin, were you guys testing me just now? Why is that so?”

Elder Shu walked in front of Lan Xuanyu and rubbed his head. “Silly boy, I’m paving the way for you! If you want to become the leader of the School of Life, you must first get the support of the school. After I’m gone, your biggest supporter is Mohua. If I don’t let him test you, how can you let him acknowledge you?”

Lin Mohua nodded his head and said, “You’re calm in the face of adversity, you’re brave and smart, you never compromise on crucial matters, and you even have unexpected methods to deal with them. Little junior brother, your performance exceeded my expectations. In my heart, as long as you were an upright person, you would have been able to obtain my support. I didn’t expect you to do better.”

At this point, he said seriously, “Don’t blame me for testing you. The leader of the School of Life will control a large amount of resources in the future, and it is extremely important to distribute these resources fairly. The leader must not be a selfish person. Being impartial and upright is the most important quality.”

Xiao Qi said from the side, “Seniors, you don’t have to worry about this. In terms of selflessness, I’ve never seen anyone of the same age as Xuanyu do better than him. He selflessly gave away his benefits to his classmates and helped them to grow up together, which led to the current Star War Experimental class, allowing the whole class to become so united. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been here instead of the sixth years.”

Elder Shu smiled. “That’s why I’ve been observing Xuanyu. He always surprises me. Furthermore, I don’t give this Ring of Fate to anyone.”

“Wait, wait a minute, everyone.” Lan Xuanyu suddenly smiled bitterly. “But Elder Shu, when you gave me this Ring of Fate, you didn’t say that you wanted me to inherit the School of Life ! Senior brother is right, the pressure on me is too great. I should return the Ring of Fate to you. Senior brother is really more suitable than me.” As Lan Xuanyu spoke, he took off the Ring of Fate that he had used his life to protect and handed it to Elder Shu without hesitation.

......

Lin Mohua laughed and said, “Teacher, look, little junior brother is unhappy.”

“No, no.” Lan Xuanyu quickly shook his head. “I’m not unhappy, it’s just that this responsibility is simply too great and my small shoulders really can’t take it! Originally, after getting senior brother’s reminder, I had planned to return this to you when I return.”

Elder Shu took the Ring of Fate and looked at Lan Xuanyu. “You’re really willing to give it back to me? If not for the Ring of Fate, would you have gotten a Tang Sect warship? There should be quite a lot of good stuff in here right now. You don’t want your mechas or resources anymore?”

Lan Xuanyu’s expression froze. “Elder Shu, you have to return the things inside to me.”

“I’m not returning them. How do you prove that the stuff inside is yours?” Under Lan Xuanyu and Xiao Qi’s dumbstruck gazes, Elder Shu spoke in all seriousness.

“Haha, Teacher, your ability to spout nonsense with a straight face has improved again! Stop teasing my little junior brother. Little junior brother, firstly, I apologize for testing you just now. Secondly, I really have something good for you. Take it as a greeting gift from this senior brother.” Lin Mohua walked over to Lan Xuanyu’s side and took the Ring of Fate from Elder Shu’s hand before putting it back on his finger.

Elder Shu looked at Lin Mohua deeply and nodded at him.

Elder Shu understood that Lin Mohua was expressing his sincerity in acknowledging Lan Xuanyu.

Elder Shu said in a low voice, “Xuanyu, I didn’t choose you blindly, but for many reasons. You are definitely the most suitable person to be the future leader of the School of Life. With you, I can even see the future path of the School of Life and the possibility of breaking through the 1,000-year deadline. You can rest assured that I will do my best to bear this responsibility for you while I’m still alive. At the same time, I will lay the foundation for you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have made this trip to Sen Luo Planet.

“Mohua is the vice-director of our School of Life and is also a member of the Sea God Pavilion. Only the two of us are members of the Sea God Pavilion. Actually, when he revealed this identity to you, you should have seen through it. How could a member of the Sea God Pavilion harm a student of his own school? Also, you might not know this, but Mohua is one of the current Shrek Seven Monsters and the pillars of the academy.”

If Lan Xuanyu only knew that Lin Mohua was very strong through other titles, then when the words “Shrek Seven Monsters” came out, both he and Xiao Qi were shocked and looked at Lin Mohua with renewed respect.

What sort of existence were the Shrek Seven Monsters of Shrek Academy? All of the Shrek Seven Monsters in the past were super powerhouses who had made outstanding contributions to the academy. When the academy was in danger, they had relied on the Shrek Seven Monsters to turn the tide.

The Shrek Seven Monsters didn’t appear all the time and would only be nominated when there was someone who truly matched the abilities of the Shrek Seven Monsters. Xiao Qi knew if there were any Shrek Seven Monsters in this generation, but Lan Xuanyu didn’t.

Now, Lan Xuanyu was completely sure of this senior brother’s strength. He was definitely a god-rank powerhouse. Without a god-rank cultivation, how could he be one of the current Shrek Seven Monsters?

Lin Mohua smiled. “Our generation is about to retire. Little junior brother, it will be your world in the future. Let’s go, Teacher. Shall we go together? Teacher Xiao, I’ll have to trouble you to go back first. Otherwise, if you and Xuanyu leave at the same time, the other students will be worried.”

“Yes,” Xiao Qi replied respectfully. Every one of the Shrek Seven Monsters had the authority of a Sea God Pavilion’s Vice Pavilion Master.

Xiao Qi soared into the sky. Lan Xuanyu didn’t try to give back the Ring of Fate again.

Lan Xuanyu had handed over the Ring of Fate just now because he was unhappy. His life was in danger! He was truly frightened.

But upon hearing that the one testing him was actually one of the current Shrek Seven Monsters, he naturally didn’t have any dissatisfaction anymore.

Lin Mohua placed a hand under Lan Xuanyu’s armpit and with a flash, Lan Xuanyu felt his surroundings become blurry as though he had transmigrated to another world. It felt like a warship passing through a wormhole but there wasn’t any strong wind. It was obvious that Lin Mohua had used his soul power to protect his body.

Ten minutes later, after flying for an unknown distance, the scenery before them suddenly became clear.

In the next moment, Lan Xuanyu felt as though he had stepped on air and felt weightless.

Lan Xuanyu was taken aback and realized that they seemed to have arrived at a valley. Lin Mohua then brought him down from one side of the valley.

The sense of weightlessness gradually disappeared and Lan Xuanyu could clearly see the situation in the valley.

This was a valley with dense vegetation, and there was a small lake in the middle of the valley. This small lake was about 300 meters in diameter and wasn’t considered big, but it was very unique. The small lake was clearly divided into two parts; half of the lake water was ice blue, while the other half was scarlet red. The center of the dividing line emitted a misty fog.

As soon as he arrived, Lan Xuanyu immediately felt that the life energy here was exceptionally dense and a faint green light appeared around him.
