Douluo: The Peerless Sun, Moon, and Yuhao

Chapter 258 Donuts are so delicious
The skeletons who had been through the water in the Ten Thousand Years Cold Spring Artificial Lake in the demiplane of the undead and whose physical attributes had been refreshed were wrapped in thick winter clothes. After receiving Huo Yuhao's letters one by one, they walked as fast as they could on the flat ground.

When they reach the areas near the far north where the temperature is even lower, their bodies that have been specially tempered and strengthened for the ice attribute will make them much faster than ordinary soul masters.

The skeletons wrapped in tight winter clothes walked their own way. As long as they were not viewed at a very close distance, they were almost the same as normal humans on the road.

"Good luck~"

Huo Yuhao waved his hand, as if he was the class teacher sending students to the examination room.

This was destined to be a sleepless night, except for Nangong Wan who couldn't sleep because of excitement and anxiety, and Xu Tianran who couldn't sleep because of anxiety...

There are also masters!

Wang Dong'er, who successfully took the rumor about the legendary Ice and Fire Eyes, returned to the hotel and marked the area on the map where the legendary Ice and Fire Eyes were hidden according to the guidelines.

The 80 gold soul coins were indeed well spent, and there was even top-secret gossip about "the eyes of ice and fire are protected by poisonous barriers, and it is best to protect the body with extremely pure ice"!

Is this difficult for Miss Wang Donger?
Doesn't the Haotian Sect also have a Xuanbing Chalcedony bed that has been left unused in the guest room?Why are you leaving it to eat ashes?
The Haotian Sect has raised it for so long, and it's time for it to die heroically. Sooner or later, it will be arranged to have it chiseled!
Wang Donger happily thought about which fairy grass was more suitable for her, but some people couldn't laugh.

"Ugh……"

In the girls' dormitory of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Xiao Xiao, who was visiting Ling Luochen's room, was lying on a swivel chair in her pajamas, with a sad face and a hint of grievance in her eyes, showing no sign of happiness at all.

Ling Luochen, who had not yet recovered from the loss caused by Su Tong's severe blow, huddled in the corner of the bed holding the quilt, the expression on his face was a bit uglier than Xiao Xiao's.

Tonight, they and a group of Shrek exchange students were summoned by Teacher Fan Yu to an exclusive box on the top floor of a nearby luxury restaurant.

Teacher Fan Yu actually entertained guests at such a luxurious restaurant, which really surprised and delighted the exchange students. Originally, only Wang Donger would organize dinner parties every week to eat, drink and brag, but they didn't expect Teacher Fan Yu to be on the road now!
However, when the exchange students rushed to the restaurant excitedly and ordered their meals, Teacher Fan Yu, who had been greeting them very kindly, closed the door of the private room tightly after the food was served, and then bowed deeply to everyone. !
"I'm sorry that due to the huge changes in the objective situation in Mingdu, the college has to make urgent adjustments to everyone's exchange study plan."

"This may have a certain impact on everyone's personal academic and development arrangements. The teacher is here to apologize to everyone."

Fan Yu, who had become a master craftsman again, looked ashamed and informed the anxious students about the latest announcement from Poseidon Pavilion: "Except students from the Soul Guidance Department, all exchange students are required to submit applications for internships in the Soul Palace and study actively. Spells and other processes" notice.

Such notices could only be spoken orally and were not conveniently printed on paper. After listening to Teacher Fan Yu state the specific orders of the college one by one, the exchange students couldn't help but look at each other.

Exchange students come from many different sources. There are young ladies like Ning Tian who always think about getting some benefits for the sect wherever they go. There are also young ladies who know that their martial arts are inferior and are destined to be at the bottom of the grade for a long time. They might as well be Let's see if we can take advantage of Dongfeng Study Abroad, which is short of soul tool talents in the academy, to pick up a pure individual.

The invention of the soul, which opened the door to a new world, naturally fell into their sights under the bombardment of intense discussions among classmates. The most important thing for students who can sign up to study in a foreign country thousands of miles away is courage and curiosity. Heart.

The common sense education at Shrek Academy allows them to recognize at a glance the benefits that souls can bring to organizations, countries and individuals, but even if they are fully aware of the new opportunities brought by souls, no one's mind will be liberated to go directly like Ning Tian. relationship to go for an internship.

Unexpectedly... the college directly urged them to change careers to "actively learn core technologies" and "return to serve the college and the motherland after completing their studies." It seemed more anxious than ourselves.

"Please rest assured that the academy will never harm its students no matter what. When everyone returns to school after completing their studies, there will be a series of promising and important positions in the Tang Sect and Wuhun Department waiting for you; as the first person to come into contact with the work of learning souls For those of you who have joined us, we will have a much brighter future than learning soul guidance tools or switching to soul guidance tools!"

Tangmen... what kind of bullshit is this?But it sounds like the academy has a very strong intention to steal the master's soul?
The exchange students from the martial arts department reacted differently to Teacher Fan Yu's patient explanation, but the exchange students from the soul guidance department were relatively confused.

Why does the academy only require students from the martial arts department to steal their masters?We are not fools, and we can also see that the founding soul is as much an outlet as learning soul tools and serving the academy. Why are everyone blocked from the door and can only continue to concentrate on learning soul tools?
Of course, there are also many students who really love soul guidance tools and have invested so much energy in this area that the sunk cost makes them unable to turn back. For such high-purity students, the soul guidance system is fortunate that they can continue Study the career you love, but those from the martial arts department are dissatisfied with why they were forcibly transferred.

The latter must be relatively rare, because the difficulty of transferring from the martial soul system to the soul guidance system can be said to be negative in Shrek Academy. Unless those who really love soul guidance tools want to retain the benefits of the martial soul system, they should have transferred to the soul guidance system long ago. Tie it down.

No matter what everyone thinks, since the college has issued an order, then carry it out - you can't risk being expelled from the school and argue with the college over this matter.

Xiao Xiao, who ran to Ling Luochen's room in the middle of the night to complain, felt helpless and aggrieved from this.

Objectively speaking, the academy's order requiring them to change their training direction, strive to contact souls and learn techniques is not a bad choice for them personally, but...

"Sure enough, when the will of the college begins to change, the personal wishes and future of us students are not important at all..." Xiao Xiao looked through the window at the street lights on campus that only retained a little light, with a blank expression in his voice. and melancholy.

Ling Luochen lowered his head, with the quilt covering the lower half of his face: "Shouldn't this be something that we have been mentally prepared for?"

"The reason why we came here in the first place...is because the academy needs talents in soul guidance devices."

"Now that the academy has found something that interests them more than the soul guide, it is only natural to suggest that we change the direction of study. We were originally sent in exchange to meet the needs of the academy. The development of the academy is inherently Before students’ futures.”

"In the final analysis, we have been eating from the academy since the beginning, so naturally we have to follow the Poseidon Pavilion's baton when we take advantage of others. And it seems that the choice given by the academy is not bad. It is a win-win choice for us personally and the academy. Isn’t it?”

"But, but..." Xiao Xiao covered her mouth, her voice a little choked.

"This is different from what we promised at the beginning! We are obviously on the right track in life and study, why should we do it at this time..."

"Can't you just let us live out these three years in peace and let other students recruited separately to carry out the tasks of the academy?"

Ling Luochen pondered for a moment, looked at Xiao Xiao's eyes full of complex expressions, and said seriously: "We are the only ones willing to travel thousands of miles to Mingdu, and you won't be able to get too many if you are recruited again; if you are not willing, , I believe the academy will not force you."

"And...you obviously don't need to reject the academy's arrangements."

Xiao Xiao closed his eyes in the recliner, and after a long time he slowly told Ling Luochen:
"I...have never been a very independent girl."

"Whether it's a soul guide or a soul, I actually don't care. I'm not as fanatical about it as Senior Ye. For me, it doesn't make much difference to study anything concurrently. I just wanted to be excellent and powerful at the beginning. Soul Master, give my family a better life, so that my family can have the capital to further its status."

"When I signed up for the exchange, I didn't even know the common sense of many first-year students in this college; I just avoided facing Wang Dong, and wanted to see what the soul guide device that Mr. Mu could admire highly was. It has no charm and no help to me."

"Yes, Sister Luochen, you are right. Whether I continue to study soul tools or work hard to cultivate the teachers' new favorite souls, I will always be the college's favorite when I return to the college."

Xiao Xiao's head was buried lower, and a bit of self-deprecation appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I am a rare twin martial soul in the world. I was so cute back then that I attached a century-old soul ring to my precious second martial soul early... and fought hard for a spot as a core disciple. "

Ling Luochen looked at Xiao Xiao, who was wearing pajamas, and realized that this girl had not only grown physically in the past two years, but also seemed to have gradually entered the adult world mentally without her noticing.

"Sister Luochen, do you know... what kind of conditions did Huo Yuhao, the now popular master of the Soul Palace who was asked by the academy to find ways to get close to us and obtain information, personally offer me?"

Hearing the words "Huo Yuhao", Ling Luochen suddenly felt a tremor in his heart. He asked with great caution, "How is it?" "He said..." Xiao Xiao's eyes were already covered with a layer of moisture.

"If I am willing to complete my studies here and settle down at Mingdetang, I don't have to worry about anything. I can just practice according to my own hobbies. There will be no assessment or obstacles. They will provide all the resources and abundant income needed for practice. The subsidy will allow me to cultivate to the ninth ring with peace of mind, and customize the most suitable soul guide for me. When I enter the ninth ring, Jing Hongchen will personally recommend me to enter the worship hall."

"It's just that they really can't guarantee the 10-year-old soul ring. After all, the entire Sun-Moon Empire may not have the number of 10-year-old soul rings on the surface."

Ling Luochen couldn't help but feel a little dazed after hearing this. Did that guy Huo Yuhao attack everywhere, bloom more flowers, and swing his hoe all over the sky?

All you need to do is settle down, there are no tests or obstacles, and all the resources needed to get to the Ninth Ring Road are provided?Why does this seem to be better than my own conditions?I am the Shrek Seven Devils. Even if Xiao Xiao is a twin martial spirit, this is a bit...

"There is no assessment... There is no need for a twin martial soul like me to prove my worth through battles and competitions. There is no need for me to go through many tests before I can be rewarded and promoted to the inner courtyard. There is no need for me to perform a life-and-death battle with the evil soul master. It takes thirty supervision missions to graduate, and you don’t need to go through many hardships to become a candidate for the Poseidon Pavilion."

"Only after I left home did I realize that I could sell such a good price... How ironic... Even if I knew that there was a premium due to me being a Shrek student, so what? That guy was right, I am a twin martial soul, so I shouldn’t be treated equally!”

Xiao Xiao's voice was choked, and she cried and laughed and said:

"I have been a good and kind girl who makes people feel at ease for more than ten years. When I was thousands of miles away from home, I was taught that I was owed too much because I didn't know how to cause trouble to others. The sad thing is that I wanted to refute him but I didn't know where to start. , I want it, how could I not long for the feeling of being valued and cherished?"

"I always thought that I was valued enough by the college and teachers, but... alas..."

"I told him that it was because of such fair competition that Shrek had the glory that has been passed down for thousands of years; but he told me not to have too much empathy and bring myself, a disciple of the outer courtyard, into the Poseidon Pavilion Master before my demands are met. I am not worthy of your position, ha..."

While listening to Xiao Xiao's emotional talk, Ling Luochen couldn't help but feel confused as he thought about his contract that had been revised.

"Xiao Xiao, are you... dissatisfied with the academy's order requiring us to try our best to transform into souls?"

Xiao Xiao shook his head gently: "I said, even after a few days, I am still not that opinionated, and may even be a bit weak. It doesn't matter to me to study in another direction. But Sister Luochen, don't say that you don't Understand what the academy does not say but actually expects us to do..."

"They are going to let a few losers go to jail! I just learned a skill from them, and I never wanted to become a spy!"

Tears couldn't stop falling from the corners of Xiao Xiao's eyes. To this day, every time I think of the scene where He Caitou helplessly looked at her through the bars, the heartbreaking feeling will flow out unstoppably.

"Sister Luochen, do you understand that the person I am now is no different from the person I was when I wanted to escape from Wang Dong. I obviously envy the courage and confidence of others, but I can't help but doubt whether I am qualified to have them!"

Ling Luochen was silent for a long time, finally raised his head and said:

"The dispute between you and Wang Dong should have disappeared by today, right?"

"Yeah... I didn't expect to see her again in Mingdu, and I see her talking and laughing and acting calmly every week. I have long since let go of the ridiculous love between children."

"Then, why not go and see her? Isn't the courage and self-confidence that you envy, as well as the personality of living for yourself and daring to take action, all in her body?"

Xiao Xiao couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then nodded lightly.

It is no secret that Wang Dong has taken a long leave of absence from school, and even in a foreign country like Mingdu, he is more famous than Ning Tian, ​​who is the best at socializing among the exchange students - even if this fame is spread by throwing money.

"But... I still have a family, and I have been trying to give them a better life since the first day of school. I can't just focus on myself..."

"Xiao Xiao." Ling Luochen suddenly interrupted, "My friends in the Inner Academy have received news that the Heavenly Soul Empire is forming a soul master stand-up team and is preparing to shift its energy from the front to guerrillas... The academy has also stepped up recruitment in the Inner Academy. The intensity and frequency with which students carry out evil soul master supervision and elimination missions."

"As for the target...you know, it is the Western Frontier region of the Heavenly Soul Empire, a place that has made countless soul masters talk about it and never return."

"You are not alone, but your family has also placed all their hopes on you, and they cannot lose you. The academy and the Tianhun Empire have made it public to the students of the outer academy and most of the inner academy. There can be sure that there are At least two evil soul master titled Douluo are on duty."

"You...the evil soul master of the Fifth Ring caused heavy losses to my current generation of Shrek Seven Monsters. When you return after completing your studies, will you be ready to go to Western Xinjiang to carry out thirty inspection missions?"

Xiao Xiao's little face turned pale for an instant, and immediately shook his head, but after a long time he looked into Ling Luochen's eyes and nodded seriously.

The next day, Xiao Xiao took the initiative to make an appointment with Wang Donger for the first time to go to the food street in front of the college to pave the way.

Wang Donger, who was overjoyed, first went back to the hotel and carefully put on her make-up for an hour before showing up at the place they agreed on at noon a quarter of an hour early.

"Dong...Dong'er."

Looking at Wang Dong'er who slapped a gold soul coin to the store's cashier, Xiao Xiao said softly with a slight lack of confidence.

"Huh? What?"

Wang Donger's eyes focused on the store owner taking the finished product out of the oil pan and preparing to pour the sauce and seasoning on it.

"Why did you take a leave of absence in the first place? You obviously have the best resources and training opportunities in the academy, right?"

"Hey, there are so many reasons. I think Mingdu is more prosperous than Shrek, and it's worth spending more time to play. And I am the young master of the Haotian Sect, so what if I leave the academy? With my status, I will lack Those resources of the college? I’m very happy now, and that’s enough.”

The snack bar owner handed the two snacks to Wang Donger and Xiao Xiao, then returned to his seat in the shade to continue reading his second-level soul engineer examination manual.

"I don't owe the academy anything. I can retire if I want, and retire if I want. A person's life span is only a few hundred years at most. If you want to be clear and happy, you must please yourself first before thinking about others! Come on, eat!"

Wang Donger raised the paper bag in his hand and fist bumped with Xiao Xiao.

"Hmm~ The donuts are so delicious~ Hahaha~"

Seeing Wang Donger licking the syrup with her lips pursed, Xiao Xiao suddenly felt that there were so many doubts in her heart that there was no need to ask them anymore. They were all related to the confusion that had been lingering in her mind for a long time. Together, we went to a place we can never find again.

"Hmm..." Xiao Xiao chuckled and bit into the thickest part of the syrup.

“The donuts are delicious.”
