On the Holy Martial Continent, Gu Yuena and Huo Yuhao found a small world attached to the continent.
Before them lay hills, and above, clouds of various colors—red, cyan, blue, purple, black, white…
This was Dragon Valley, the dragon cemetery after the Dragon God War.
The clouds in the sky were dragon clouds containing various elements; ordinary people would naturally benefit greatly from absorbing these dragon clouds, but Gu Yuena and Huo Yuhao seemed oblivious to them.
Gu Yuena seemed to sense something and headed in a certain direction. Seeing this, Huo Yuhao had no choice but to follow. This time, he had no other plans but to hope that this dragon cemetery could preserve a few intelligent remnant souls.
As for the dragon bones and such, Huo Yuhao didn't need them himself; he wanted to take them back for his subordinates, but Gu Yuena certainly wouldn't allow it.
As they traveled, the two occasionally encountered some dragon souls, things similar to remnant spirits and vengeful ghosts. These dragon souls would always avoid Gu Yuena and then lunge at Huo Yuhao with bared fangs and claws.
This is not surprising. The dragon race was almost wiped out by the God Realm. These soulless dragon souls, sensing Huo Yuhao's aura as a human god, wanted to tear him apart.
Along the way, enormous dragon skeletons were scattered everywhere, some tens of meters tall, and some even hundreds of meters high.
Even after many years of death, these dragon bones still emitted faint energy fluctuations.
These guys were at least comparable to Title Douluo in life, and now they lay exposed in the wilderness.
Soon, Huo Yuhao discovered that the further he went, the hotter the surrounding temperature became.
"Could this be... the cemetery of the Fire Dragon race?"
Not long after, Huo Yuhao followed Gu Yuena to a huge dragon skeleton. Huo Yuhao saw that among the scattered jawbones were several oval-shaped objects, like fossils.
"These are... dragon eggs!"
Gu Yuena's emotions fluctuated greatly, with a hint of excitement. She had discovered something. Among the dragon eggs, one was different from the others, dark and red like jade, like agate.
Inside, there was a tenacious life, its signs of life faint. It should have been thriving by now, but due to a lack of energy, it had yet to hatch.
Gu Yuena reached out and gently stroked the translucent eggshell, the sadness in her eyes softening slightly. Fortunately, the dragon race still had its lineage.
The Fire Dragon King, Jialin?
Of all the fire dragons, Huo Yuhao could only think of Jialin, who appeared 20,000 years later.
The Fire Dragon King Jialin was both fortunate and unfortunate. Fortunate because she survived the fall of the dragons and descended into the world, but unfortunate because when she was born, the dragon race had completely declined, and she herself was forced to submit to humans.
Half a day later, the three left Dragon Valley. Yes, just the three of them. After the dragon egg, Gu Yuena and Huo Yuhao found the Mountain Dragon King and discovered that its remnant soul still retained memories and intelligence.
Huo Yuhao immediately used its dragon bones and Gu Yuena's dragon blood to reshape a body for it.
Thus, when they left Dragon Valley, the two gained a highly promising helper and a dragon egg.
Huo Yuhao felt things weren't going as well as he'd hoped. He'd expected to gain at least two or three true dragon henchmen, but he'd been too complacent.
After returning to Douluo Continent, Gu Yuena traveled between the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and the Lake of Life, using the dragon energy and life force of both places to hatch the fire dragon egg.
Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, entered a long period of seclusion, leaving the affairs of the Heavenly Court to his subordinates.
As time passed, the public opinion gradually calmed down, and Shilake seemed to have returned to normal.
The topic of conversation on the streets was no longer the Heavenly Court and Shilake, but the Continental Elite Soul Master Academy Tournament.
That's right, the once-every-five-years Soul Master Academy Tournament was about to begin, and this year it was being hosted by the Sun Moon Empire.
Inside the inner courtyard conference room of Shrek Academy, Lin Huiqun, Yan Shaozhe, and several high-ranking officials gathered.
Their expressions were grim, because just moments before, the organizers, the Sun Moon Empire, had attempted to disqualify Shrek from the competition, citing Shrek's alleged collusion with evil soul masters.
This was unacceptable; disqualification would solidify the charge of colluding with evil soul masters, sealing Shrek's fate forever.
Regardless of what others said, they couldn't admit it. So, stubbornly persisting, to avoid disqualification and ensure Shrek's students could continue on the continent's stage, Yan Shaozhe, the Phoenix Douluo, personally went to Mingdu to negotiate with the old emperor of the Sun Moon Empire regarding the competition.
After presenting facts and reasoning—essentially a combination of coercion and enticement—the weak-willed old emperor finally relented and agreed to allow Shrek to participate normally.
"Elder Lin, we've located the Sun Moon Empire's soul tool reserve. It's located in the Mingde Hall. Here are the detailed details; please take a look," said
Lin Huiqun, head of the Shrek City Treasure Pavilion and one of the former elders of the Sea God Pavilion.
In the battle of Heaven, the Sea God Pavilion was nearly wiped out, with only Yan Shaozhe, Lin Huiqun, and Zhang Lexuan surviving.
Yan Shaozhe and Lin Huiqun were of similar cultivation levels, but Lin Huiqun's seniority made him the more reliable surviving member. Therefore, Yan Shaozhe had to listen to Lin Huiqun in all matters.
Yan Shaozhe handed a stack of documents to Elder Lin, and from his words, it was clear that Shilaike was eyeing the Sun Moon Empire's soul tools.
The last battle had truly shown the old man the terror of soul tools, especially the role of united soul tool masters on the battlefield, which completely overturned their worldview.
To avoid being left behind by the times, the two old men discussed and unanimously agreed to a strategy of vigorously developing soul tools.
Thus, the Sun Moon Empire, with the most advanced and cutting-edge soul tool development on the continent, became Shilaike's target.
Knowing that the Sun Moon Empire would not share its technology through normal means, the two old men's strategy was—to steal.
Since the scandals at Shrek Academy were repeatedly exposed, coupled with the academy's high-ranking officials turning a blind eye to the capture of inner-court students during the last battle, morale within the academy had plummeted.
Wu Ming and a few other students, having seen through the ugly faces of the academy's leadership, left the school in despair.
While plotting against the Sun Moon Empire, Shrek Academy also didn't forget to antagonize the Heavenly Court.
The Heavenly Court's branches across the land were attacked one after another, and investigations revealed that the mastermind was a Soul Master who had graduated from Shrek Academy. The Heavenly
Court showed no leniency towards such thugs, launching a furious counterattack.
This action terrified the people, and it wasn't until six months later, after a powerful crackdown, that the chaos in various regions was quelled.
Inside the Heavenly Court's Holy Temple, seven spirited young men and women were ready to go.
The five-yearly All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament was about to begin, and these seven were the team representing the Body Academy this year.
The organizer this year was the Sun Moon Empire, and perhaps because the Heavenly Court was too powerful, the Sun Moon Empire did not propose changing the tournament rules as in the original story.
Therefore, the Heavenly Court did not directly send a team to participate, but sending a few people into the academy was not a problem.
The Body Team was jointly composed of members from the Heavenly Court and the Body Sect, including Ye Lingling, Jiang Nannan, and Xiao Xiao.
