Chapter 125 Wang Dong: Did I go to school to overcome my calamity?

In the Xingluo coastal area, inside a simple military tent.

A tall man nearly two meters stood here. He looked to be no more than thirty years old, with regular features, deep eye sockets, and very bright blue eyes. His face looked a little thin, but his whole body had a metallic texture.

Looking at the nearly 150,000 troops behind him, Dai Hao did not show a trace of panic on his face. Instead, he felt relaxed and in control. He turned to look at Durex and asked:
“Didn’t your majesty say that people from the Xingguan Sect would come to assist us? Why haven’t they arrived yet?”

Durex bowed and reported respectfully:

“Reporting to the Marshal, I think the Xingguan Sect has been in seclusion for many years. It will take a little longer to ask them to come, but they will definitely arrive before dark tonight. They will never miss an opportunity to fight.”

Dai Hao hummed when he heard this, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes:
“After I capture Riyue and the others this time, I will definitely interrogate Lin Dong in person to find out how deep his hatred is against the Duke of White Tiger Mansion to have caused Zhu Ling and Hua Bin to be in this state.

Even though I am married to her family and we don’t have a deep relationship, this is related to the reputation of my White Tiger Duke’s Mansion. How can I let an outsider bully my Duchess and son like this?

If I hadn’t been busy with state affairs, I would have rushed back to Xingluo City to ask His Majesty the reason for the incident.”

Looking at the imposing Dai Hao in front of him, Durex could only nod silently and change the subject:
“Marshal, the eight Title Douluo in the army are ready. Xuanji Douluo is in the Mingdou Mountains, deceiving the people of the Sun Moon Empire. At present, it seems that they should not have discovered that we moved the army late at night.”

Dai Hao snorted coldly: “What if we find out? Mingde Hall has been destroyed. Even if the Sun and Moon Empire is angry, they have to hold it in. As long as we can kill Jing Hongchen and others here today, we can ensure that the continent will be safe for a hundred years.

What’s more, the Central Army is the elite among the elite. Even if they find out, with the advantage of the terrain and the remaining eight Title Douluo including Xuanji Douluo, it is enough to hold on until we complete the mission here.”

Then, as if he had thought of something, he paused and ordered:

“Have eight Title Douluo lead a squad each, equipped with flares. Once they spot Jing Hongchen and the others, they must not linger in the fight, but fire the flares immediately.”

“Yes!”

Durex bowed and saluted, then left the tent. Dai Hao’s eyes were unclear, and he murmured:

“I have spent my whole life guarding the borders for my country. How could Lin Dong, a man from the Sun Moon Empire, become an enemy of Hua Bin? But fortunately, after these few days, everything will have a result…”

Sun-Moon Empire, Mingdou Mountain Range Garrison.

The leader of the Evil Lord Soul Instructor Corps, Mad Bull Douluo Wang Yiheng, was standing in the military tent. He had just picked up the teacup when a figure in special armor hurried into the tent.

Wang Yiheng quickly put down his teacup and knelt on the ground. The middle-aged man who looked like a messenger took out a yellow scroll from his arms and read aloud:

“Your Majesty has issued a decree that a Shrek attacked Mingde Hall the night before and escaped. Now, Wang Yiheng, the leader of the Evil King Soul Fighter Corps, is ordered to lead the Mingdou Mountain Range army to intercept the Shrek group at all costs.

The enemy is powerful, with at least one Ultimate Douluo and more than twenty Titled Douluo. We only need to contain them and there is no need to fight them head-on. The reinforcements sent by the empire will arrive in time. From now on, we must strengthen the vigilance in Mingdou Mountains and do not let the thieves escape.

In addition, this information has not been made public yet and should not be disclosed to irrelevant persons. “

“Sir, obey the order!”

Wang Yiheng suppressed his fear, knelt down to receive the imperial edict, and then stood up. Even though he knew that this task was difficult to accomplish, he dared not disobey the imperial edict.

After exchanging polite words with the envoy and sending him away, Wang Yiheng began to tremble with excitement and muttered:

“What the hell is this Shrek doing! He brought 20 Title Douluo to attack Mingde Hall. How can I contain them?”

He suppressed all the doubts and excitement in his heart and shouted angrily outside the tent:
“Come here! From now on, the eighth-level soul instructors in the army will lead the patrols and carry signal flares. Once they encounter a suspicious person, they will immediately send out a signal and the entire army will enter the first-level combat readiness state.”

A man who looked like an adjutant entered the tent, clasped his fists and said in a deep voice, “Yes!”

Seeing the adjutant leave, Wang Yiheng covered his head with some worry and sighed:
“This situation is too serious. It would be extremely difficult to rely on this army to stop twenty Title Douluo, not to mention that there is also a legendary Extreme Douluo leading them. Sigh, we can only bite the bullet and do it…”

Ten kilometers away from Mingdou Mountains.

Yan Shaozhe, dressed in black, looked at Moon and asked:
“Mr. Mu, we are leading a large number of researchers. It is impossible for us to pass through the Mingdou Mountains without being noticed. I am afraid we can only break through by force.”

Moon calmly waved his hand and said, “No hurry. Go ask the old man who is good at hiding to find out. If so many of us attack unexpectedly, we should be able to paralyze the enemy instantly, which can also reduce unnecessary casualties.”

Yan Shaozhe replied yes and turned to do it. Moon En looked worried and whispered:
“I don’t know if the Xingluo Empire has received the news. If we can get help from the Xingluo garrison, there is no need to worry about this matter…”

Inside Shrek City.

Lin Dong, Jing Hongchen and the other three, who had parted with Xiao Hongchen and the others, came to the east of Shrek City.

The three of them took a quick look and found that the streets in the east of Shrek City were much quieter than those in the south. Jing Hongchen couldn’t help but say:

“Lin Dong, when do we start the action?”

Lin Dong led them to a secluded alley and said as he looked around:

“From the situation on this street and the guards at the city gate, Shrek should have made some preparations. There are not many pedestrians on the street, and the number of students patrolling has increased. So, before we take action, let me show you something.”

The three of them looked puzzled, and Ye Yulin couldn’t help but question in his heart:
Time is life now. The longer we stay in Shrek City, the greater the risk of not being able to leave. Now Lin Dong actually wants us to look at things in the alley? Is this a joke!
Although Lin Dong had shown some strategic acumen before, his unconventional approach required more courage. Ye Yulin naturally disagreed with his time-wasting behavior.

Lin Jiayi did not question it because he had the lowest status among the three. However, from his frown, one could tell that he was a little dissatisfied with Lin Dong’s behavior.

Ye Yulin glanced at Lin Jiayi, then turned his head to look at Jing Hongchen, who was smiling patiently. Ye Yulin couldn’t help but muttered:

“Lin Dong, you also know the disadvantages of us ninth-level soul masters. It takes too long to prepare. Now we are still wasting time here looking at things. Isn’t it a bit too calm?”

Looking at Ye Yulin’s puzzled face, Lin Dong explained with a smile:
“Don’t be impatient, Senior Ye, you will know whether it is a waste of time after you finish reading it.” After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Jing Hongchen: “Relax, Dean.”

Although Jing Hongchen was confused, he was different from Ye Yulin. As for Lin Dong’s actions, he now had only two words to describe them: trust.

Under the horrified eyes of Ye Yulin and Lin Jiayi, Lin Dong did not release his martial spirit. The air around him twisted slightly, and Jing Hongchen disappeared out of thin air.

Ye Yulin coughed twice in shame, his old face turned red and he said awkwardly:

“I was impulsive at the moment. I didn’t expect you to have this skill. Although I don’t know how you did it, your invisibility technique is really crucial.” Lin Dong just smiled and said, “You are too polite, senior. This invisibility technique is a skill I evolved based on the simulated soul skill. I simulated the dean into my shadow to achieve the visual invisibility effect.

Although it cannot be touched and will be exposed in front of powerful people, it is enough to deceive passers-by on the street. “

Ye Yulin coughed dryly in agreement: “That’s right, let’s get started.”

Lin Jiayi quickly followed suit and nodded: “As expected, the dean has a sharp eye. Elder Ye and I are shortsighted.”

Jing Hongchen laughed and joked, “I’ve just been slapped in the face so many times that I don’t have the courage to question it anymore.”

The slightly awkward atmosphere instantly became more lively because of his words. Lin Dong clasped his fists and grinned:

“I will be responsible for using my spirit to detect soul skills and provide you with accuracy. I also ask the three seniors to show no mercy and use as many soul guide shells as you have. Once the opponent reacts, it may not be so easy to deal with.”

The three of them looked at Lin Dong’s harmless smile and couldn’t help but shudder. Shrek was in big trouble for provoking this kid.

Joking aside, the three of them would not hesitate when it was time to take action, and the various soul guide shells in their soul guide devices were already ready to go.

After seeing the three people nod, Lin Dong changed himself into a coarse linen shirt and disguised himself as a beggar-like boy.

The air around him twisted slightly, and his shadow seemed to have some weight, and he slowly walked out of the alley and towards the Shrek city gate.

The students at the city gate looked at the ragged Lin Dong, but they had no sympathy in their hearts. After all, the Shrek people were all from noble families, and they would only think that the beggars were not working hard enough.

What’s more, the academy’s top brass have said that Shrek Academy is under martial law recently and all irrelevant people are to stay away from the academy gates.

Lin Dong took a quick glance at the patrolling students and had a rough estimate of their strength in his mind. He did not expect that Shrek would actually send Soul King-level students to patrol.

Just as he was sighing in his heart, a young man in uniform walked towards Lin Dong, waving his hands and shouting:

“Hey, go away, you stinky beggar. Didn’t you see the notice at the door? Non-Shrek students are not allowed to enter. Go, go, go, go quickly!”

The young man who was forcibly sent out for patrol by the academy was already somewhat resentful. He was yelling and even wanted to push Lin Dong.

Looking at the hand coming towards him, a cold light flashed in Lin Dong’s eyes. Just as he was about to take action, a hand as pure as ice and jade reached out, stopped the unreasonable young man aside, and a cold voice sounded: “Leave it to me.”

The unreasonable young man looked at the beauty in front of him, blushed and scratched his head: “Then leave it to Senior Ling.”

Before leaving, he gave Lin Dong a meaningful look. He never expected that this little beggar from nowhere could actually make Senior Sister Ling Luochen, who was known as the iceberg beauty in the inner courtyard, talk to him by accident.

Most of the resentment in his heart disappeared in an instant, and he walked back to the city gate happily and continued his patrol.

Lin Dong raised his eyes and glanced at the aloof beauty in front of him. Although her icy skin and cold temperament were somewhat similar to those of the Ice Lord, she was ultimately inferior.

Lin Dong was about to turn around and leave when Ling Luochen suddenly said, “Wait, this is for you.”

Looking at the greasy bread in front of him, Lin Dong couldn’t help but feel a little surprised. He didn’t expect that he was a person with a cold appearance but a warm heart like Qingzhu.

But he naturally would not have thought that Ling Qingzhu was only interested in him. In order not to arouse suspicion, Lin Dong still took the bread and whispered, “Thank you.”

Seeing Lin Dong turning around and leaving, Ling Luochen’s beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of intention. Her family background was not that good, and the compensation that the academy promised to give her for giving up the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone had not yet been seen.

The academy lost all face in this competition. After Mr. Xuan came back, he was directly dismissed. The academy gave certain rewards to the pre-selected team members.

The surviving regular team member, Ma Xiaotao, was recuperating in Poseidon Pavilion, but Ling Luochen was neglected. Perhaps because of seeing Lin Dong’s appearance just now, Ling Luochen also felt a sense of inexplicable loneliness.

There was a hint of melancholy in his eyes, and he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart:
Forget it. I’m going to graduate this year anyway. I’m all alone and have no ties. I don’t have many friends in the academy, and I don’t have any big grudges with Sun and Moon. Maybe I can find a good job in the Sun and Moon Empire?
There were also many people who originally belonged to the Three Kingdoms and went to the Sun-Moon Empire. The treatment in Sun-Moon was much better than those in these countries. It was not shameful to make money, and it was better than patrolling here all the time.

Thinking this in his mind, Ling Luochen slowly turned his head and did not notice that Lin Dong was squatting five hundred meters away from Shrek City, with his head lowered and his eyes flashing with a faint gray air.

So there was this dramatic scene. Right under the eyes of these patrolling students, Jing Hongchen and the other two, with the help of Lin Dong’s simulated soul skills, made preparations for the launch of the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide artillery shells.

Inside Shrek Academy.

Xuan Zi, the most senior student in the academy, was mobilizing all the students 500 meters away from the main entrance of the academy under the gaze of Song Yunzhi, who was looking at him with some headache.

“Everyone, the elders are out on a mission. Although I believe that no villain dares to attack Shrek Academy, considering everyone’s safety, it is naturally safest to stay with me and Elder Song.”

After listening to his words, Song Yunzhi felt that there was no big problem. Now she and Xuanzi were indeed the strongest fighting force in the academy. In order to protect the most important students of the academy, it was reasonable to gather them together.

Wang Dong was watching the passionate Xuan Zi from the audience, and suddenly recalled what happened in the Xingdou Great Forest that day, and couldn’t help shaking his head.

If it weren’t for that Emperor Tian’s intervention, I would have to rely on the big daddy and the second daddy. But, what are those old men doing? It shouldn’t be a big deal…

When Wang Dong was confused, Xuan Zi’s expression suddenly changed. Song Yunzhi seemed to sense something as well, and the two of them instantly revealed their true spirit forms.

A cannonball wrapped in an energy halo flew through the air, with complex runes and light flowing on it. It was the product of the perfect combination of soul guide technology and natural soul power.

This seemingly small shell, in the eyes of Xuan Zi and Song Yunzhi, was a death warrant that they could not avoid.

The legendary ninth-level fixed-type soul-guided artillery shells are a specialty that only the Sun-Moon Empire has!

The two of them no longer had time to think about where this thing came from or how it managed to hit them so accurately. Their eyes were filled with horror.

Xuan Zi made a strange hand gesture, and inside the Poseidon Pavilion, the golden tree burst into a brilliant light, and a golden shield suddenly appeared above the academy.

At this moment, Wang Dong felt like a thousand horses were galloping through his heart:

Whatever you say, it will happen! Last time, I was bombarded by three level eight soul guide shells and a crappy laser, and this time it was directly changed to level nine? Am I here to overcome the tribulation in my last year of school? !
