What was most exaggerated was still Xie Huanyue's body toughness, which had actually reached the Titled Douluo level. What kind of a concept was this?
Xiao Hongchen, who prided himself on being a genius, just wanted to cover his face and flee. He had originally thought that Huo Yuhao was already perverted enough. He had not expected that his companions were also so heaven-defying.
By the time Cui Yejie, Ning Tian, and the few girls had finished their tests respectively, Meng Hongchen, who was responsible for recording, was on the verge of being unable to show her face. For no other reason than that even the most outstanding batch of talents in Shrek, at this age, could not possibly have achieved what these people had.
This test was mainly to make a general assessment of the strength of Xie Huanyue and the others, to facilitate their subsequent soul tool studies. When the test results had finally been passed to the hands of the Illustrious Virtue Hall's Hall Master, Jing Hongchen, this stern and unsmiling Hall Master Hongchen had almost laughed out loud for a whole night.
He had picked up a treasure! He had really picked up a treasure!
The companions of the Demon King, Huo Yuhao, were already so amazing. Then how strong must he himself be? Jing Hongchen now just wanted to grab Huo Yuhao and test him carefully to see how much stronger this number one prodigy on the continent was compared to his peers.
The only fly in the ointment was that among these people, the one with the best physical fitness, Xie Huanyue, and a girl with a mutated red dragon martial soul, their soul tool learning ability was worrying. At most, they could only reach the level of being proficient in using soul tools.
So in the following days, besides Wu Feng and Ning Tian, this inseparable pair, Xie Huanyue himself had, on the other hand, invited Ji Juechen and also Jing Ziyan and had challenged the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy.
The scene returns to the side of the Star Luo Imperial Palace, in a garden outside the palace.
"Little sister, I am the Medical Immortal Douluo you are looking for, Wang Xian'er," the old woman said with a kind face and kind eyes, revealing her identity to Xiao Xiao.
"Ah! It's Senior Wang!" Xiao Xiao was shocked beyond words by her self-introduction. She hurriedly bowed and saluted her. "I am Xiao Xiao, a student of Shrek Academy. I beg Senior Wang, for the sake of the academy having made efforts for the peace of the continent, to save Dean Yan and the others!"
"Oh? For the peace of the continent?" The old woman did not speak. Her gaze drifted to the black-robed youth at her side. Her gaze was as gentle as water. Immediately, the latter smiled and asked.
"Little friend Xiao Xiao, do you know what on earth 'peace' refers to?"
Hearing the black-robed youth ask such a broad or narrow question, Xiao Xiao guessed that the two were probably intentionally testing her. So she decisively replied, "Peace is for the continent to no longer have wars, to have all the countries on the continent maintain the status quo. This point, our academy has already submitted a satisfactory answer sheet to the continent."
"Oh? Then how did your academy do it?" The black-robed youth seemed to have become interested and hurriedly pursued the question.
"Our academy had, several thousand years ago, led the original three great empires of the Douluo Continent to defeat the Sun Moon Empire, which had vainly tried to invade our territory, and had brought about these several thousand years of peace. In addition, the academy has also upheld the original intention of punishing evil and promoting good, and has formed one after another of a supervision group to go to all parts of the continent to resolve disputes. The academy is the supervisor of the continent, and also the guardian of peace. This is also the glory of our academy!" Xiao Xiao explained to the black-robed youth in a rigid and formal manner and had followed the ideological guidelines that Shrek had always instilled in its enrolling students.
Hearing this, the black-robed youth was immediately dumbfounded. The Medical Immortal Douluo at the side, seeing his appearance, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"For your academy to be able to live until now is also a miracle!"
The black-robed youth had stammered for half a day and in the end, couldn't help but blurt this one sentence out.
"You are not allowed to slander our academy!" Xiao Xiao raised her head a little stubbornly and reprimanded.
"Alright, alright. I won't slander it. I won't slander it," the black-robed youth was at a loss for whether to laugh or cry and was even shot a glare by the Medical Immortal Douluo at his side.
"We haven't met for many years, and you still have no propriety," the Medical Immortal Douluo said with annoyance.
"Hehe." The black-robed youth smiled, then immediately asked, "Little friend Xiao Xiao, the mutual checks and balances among the various nations on the continent that you mentioned can indeed be regarded as a kind of peace. But I once saw a madman who erased the divides between power and power, and between nation and nation. In the end, he nearly conquered the entire continent. I wonder—would you call that a kind of peace as well?"
"How is that peace..." Xiao Xiao immediately said with contempt. "That is just caused by the desire of a conqueror. It's fine while he is on the throne. The moment he dies..."
"Then according to what you have said, the peace in your eyes was brought about by your academy. Then have you ever thought, once your academy is destroyed—" The black-robed youth's deep eyes reflected a light of scrutiny as he questioned Xiao Xiao.
"How is that possible? Our academy simply, simply..." Xiao Xiao still wanted to refute his words, but found that she was simply speechless. After all, Shrek Academy had really already been destroyed.
The consequence of Shrek Academy's destruction was impressively that the Sun Moon Empire's side had completely lost its check and balance. To send troops to the original Douluo Continent was just a matter of time.
"In any world, it is impossible for there to be true peace. There will only be a group of people who work hard for peace," the black-robed youth went forward and stroked Xiao Xiao's head, teaching her patiently. "As long as life exists, it will, for the sake of survival or interests, fight with each other. Those who vainly try to control the situation will surely be swallowed by their desires."
"Then what senior means is that the Douluo Continent can never welcome true peace?" Xiao Xiao was gently stroked by him and only felt her own heart calm down a lot. Even the sorrow that had been produced from the departure of Xu He and Jiang Nannan had also faded a lot.
"Little friend, I cannot directly give you this answer. Some things you need to see with your own eyes, to carefully feel with your heart," the black-robed youth said with a smile. "How about this? I promise to have the Medical Immortal Douluo treat the elders of your academy. You listen to my words and now set off to travel the continent. Ten years later, I think you will give me a satisfactory answer."
"Ah..." A small, bitter look on Xiao Xiao's face. "But, I don't want to be separated from everyone."
"This is his condition. I will only listen to him," the Medical Immortal Douluo spoke up. Her gentle voice carried a resolute tone that brooked no argument.
"Child, believe me. Go out and see this world, and feel the suffering of the people on the border. At that time, you will have a different feeling."
"Then... I'll go and say goodbye to everyone..." Xiao Xiao had no other choice. She knew that if she did not obey this one's will, it would be very difficult for Yan Shaozhe to survive the next dawn.
"No need. Go, child. To part is a very painful thing," the Medical Immortal Douluo raised her hand and waved. Xiao Xiao only felt a gentle energy fluctuation roll her up and send her far away, directly landing her outside Star Luo City.
Yes. To part was what a painful thing. Just like back then, she had been suffering from a stubborn illness. In order not to drag each other down, in the end, she had chosen to leave without saying goodbye.
At this time, they looked at each other but could not hear each other. I wish to follow the moonlight and shine on you.
But, fate had in the end circled a mountain and a sea. He had still returned to her side, to fulfill the sonorous and powerful promise of his youth.
"These few years, have you been living well here?"
The black-robed youth walked to the side of the Medical Immortal Douluo. A strange energy fluctuation appeared on his hand. He gently caressed her face. In an instant, the originally old and dying Medical Immortal Douluo had changed her appearance.
She was in a plain, white dress. Looking from afar, she was filled with a kind of an otherworldly temperament. A head of long, snow-white hair was vertical to her delicate hips. A gentle wind blew, and her snow-white hair fluttered, elegant and moving. A shallow smile appeared on her face, refreshing one's heart, just like the appearance when they had first met.
"You weren't willing to accompany me. I could only live alone..."
