Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon, I am the Lord of Soul Beasts

Chapter 58 Poseidon Pavilion Meeting, Ocean Storm
Yan Shaozhe raised his head, looked at his teacher thoughtfully, and then slowly said: "First of all, we must remain calm and composed. This incident is obviously the action of the evil soul master, and the evil soul master has always been the enemy of our Shrek Academy. But the most important thing right now is the Sun-Moon Empire. Our Shrek Academy has been regarded by the Sun-Moon Empire as an obstacle to their counterattack on Douluo Continent over the years. Therefore, if the Sun-Moon Empire really wants to start a war, it will be difficult for our Shrek Academy to remain immune. On the contrary, it is very likely that we will be the first to be targeted by the Sun-Moon Empire."

Moon nodded, motioning for him to continue.

Yan Shaozhe continued, "Secondly, we need to activate the emergency mechanism immediately. Although Elder Xuan is seriously injured, it is not known to the outside world. We at Shrek Academy should not leave our students alone. I think we should start an investigation immediately. On the one hand, we need to show the strength of our Shrek Academy to the outside world, and on the other hand, we can also find out the movements of the evil soul masters and where they may be hiding. We can't let them succeed, let alone let them hurt our students."

"I agree." Moon nodded heavily, "We must act as soon as possible. However, we cannot ignore the safety of our academy. I will send some teachers and students to investigate, but at the same time we must strengthen the academy's defenses to ensure the safety of other students."

Yan Shaozhe smiled slightly, "Finally, we must remember that we are a family of Shrek Academy. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must work together to overcome them. As long as we are united, no difficulties will be able to stop us from moving forward."

Moon looked at Yan Shaozhe deeply, feeling his firm belief and leadership. "Shaozhe, you are very good. You can think things through so carefully before the disaster. It seems that if I am not around in the future, you will be able to take on the position of the leader of the Sea God Pavilion."

"Teacher" Yan Shaozhe was about to speak, but was suppressed by Moon En's hand.

"I just praised you, why are you losing your temper so quickly? Do you know why I have been suppressing you all these years?"

Yan Shaozhe shook his head.

"That's because you are too easily impulsive. Whether it's in the management of the academy or the cultivation of martial spirits, your talent is one in a million. But your temper is perhaps your biggest weakness. That's why I let Mei'er stay by your side to help you all these years. Otherwise, based on your temper when you were young, how could I be confident in handing Shrek Academy to you?"

There was a hint of seriousness in Moon's tone, but more of it was worry about the future of Shrek Academy.

Yan Shaozhe, who is over fifty years old, faced Moon's harsh reprimand like a child, lowering his head and showing no intention of refutation.

At this time, Cai Meir, who was sitting next to Yan Shaozhe, spoke.

"Mr. Mu, should we recall the inner court disciples who are training outside?"

"Not yet. Even if the Sun-Moon Empire wants to start a war, they won't start it now. Let the children gain more experience first! Before the real war comes, if their own strength is improved by one level, their chances of saving their lives will increase." said Old Mu.

"However, starting today, all disciples in the inner courtyard need to be equipped with a soul guide device made by the soul guide department for self-defense when they go out for training."

As soon as Moon En finished speaking, Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo, the two deans of the Soul Guidance Department, instantly smiled happily.

Qian Duoduo immediately said, "I understand, Mr. Mu. After the Poseidon Pavilion meeting is over, I will immediately start to arrange this matter."

It was obvious from what Moon said that he was helping the Soul Guidance Department. The Soul Guidance Department had been established in Shrek Academy for hundreds of years, but the world only knew about the Martial Soul Department, as if the Soul Guidance Department was just a foil. Whether it was the freshmen who entered the school every year or the teachers of the academy, most of them looked down on the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy. This situation made the Soul Guidance Department an unknown existence in Shrek Academy.

When someone is happy, someone else is naturally depressed. Cai Meier and Yan Shaozhe, who happened to be sitting opposite Xian Liner and Qian Duoduo, were not so happy.

Yan Shaozhe hesitated again and again, but still spoke carefully: "Teacher, this is not good! The inner courtyard disciples go out for training to avoid the comfortable environment of the academy. They go out to do tasks in pursuit of pressure. If they are all equipped with soul guidance systems, then wouldn't this go against the purpose of our training?"

"I agree, Mr. Mu." As soon as Yan Shaozhe finished speaking, Cai Meir continued.

"Soul guides are indeed very powerful, but martial souls are the foundation of our soul masters. If all the inner courtyard disciples are equipped with soul guides when they go out from now on, won't they continue to rely on the power of soul guides? Isn't this a bit of a waste of time?"

It must be said that what Cai Meier and Yan Shaozhe said did make sense. After listening to their speeches, all the elders present nodded in agreement.

Only Moon sighed softly and said, "You guys are still too superficial."

"Do you know that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy opened a martial soul department three years ago, and their teacher is Ying Qian. Whether it's the girl with the Ultimate Ice or the owner of the six-winged angel martial soul that you met at the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition this time, as far as I know, they are all disciples of Ying Qian."

"But what does this have to do with our Shrek Academy?" Cai Meir asked puzzledly.

"I understand." An old man sitting at the first table under Elder Song suddenly realized, "Elder Mu, you mean to make up for the shortcomings. The difference between us and the Sun-Moon Empire has always been the gap between the soul masters. And now the Sun-Moon Empire has realized that it is useless to play to one's strengths and avoid weaknesses, so they have also begun to vigorously develop the route of soul masters. If we continue to suppress soul trainers, then by then, whether it is soul masters or soul trainers, we will be completely overtaken by the Sun-Moon Empire."

"That's exactly what I mean." Elder Mu said calmly, "Now, in the name of the current Sea God Pavilion Master, I declare that from now on I will vigorously develop the Soul Guidance Department. Who objects?"

After saying that, Moon looked around. Seeing that no one objected, Moon had nothing more to say.

For Shrek Academy, an important Poseidon Pavilion meeting ended, and the fate of Shrek Academy was also arranged. On the other hand, Ying Qian. After saying goodbye to the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor, Ying Qian flew all the way north and came to the northern border of the extreme north. Here he saw the endless glacier sea. However, Ying Qian did not hesitate at all. He vaguely remembered the target position that Ni Lin had passed to him at the end, and Ying Qian chose to cross the sea in front of him.

Including today, Ying Qian didn't know how many days he had flown. The scenery of the sea was monotonous. It might feel novel when you first saw it, but after a long time, you would feel a little bored. In addition, there was no reference point above the sea. The only change every day was the sunset and sunrise. Crossing the ocean, Ying Qian felt that his time might also be changing. He was flying north all the time, but even so, the time zone was changing. For example, it was night here, but it might be dusk over there on the Douluo Continent.

Fortunately, Ying Qian has a pair of complementary soul cores, which are Yin and Yang. A steady stream of soul power is transmitted from the soul cores to nourish his physical strength. Otherwise, facing such a vast ocean, Ying Qian would probably be powerless.

Under the night light, Ying Qian continued to move forward towards his destination. The effect of Ni Lin allowed him to clearly sense Zi Ji's location. However, after Ni Lin sent a dangerous message, Ni Lin's breath disappeared. It was as if it was isolated by something. Therefore, now Ying Qian can only vaguely remember the location reported by Ni Lin at the last time. If time passes, Ying Qian is likely to get lost in the vast ocean because he can't figure out the location of Ni Lin.

This would be a complete failure. Although Douluo Star is also a sphere, compared with the Earth in the previous life, the area of ​​the planet where Douluo Continent is located is many times larger than that of the Earth. If we really want to fly back in a circle in one direction, it will probably take two or three years.

"Boom!" A thunder suddenly sounded.

Above Ying Qian's head, dark clouds covered the sky, lightning flashed, and thunder roared. Each lightning streaked across the sky, burning in the darkness like the wrath of God, illuminating the vast sea, making people sigh at the enormous power of nature.

The sea under Ying Qian's feet was like an angry beast. The huge waves were like the claws of a devil, hitting the sea again and again, raising waves tens of meters high, as if to swallow up the whole world. Every thunder was like the cry of the earth, deafening and unsettling.

The wind raged on the sea, whistling past, rolling up the sea water into countless foam, pouring down like a rain curtain. The waves surged, as if declaring their endless anger and power, making people sigh at their insignificance and fragility in front of this ruthless nature.

Soon, a heavy downpour hit Ying Qian. Such bad weather might have been a natural disaster for Ying Qian in his previous life. But now, in front of Ying Qian, it just added some resistance to his flight.

But soon, Ying Qian discovered something was wrong. There were some strange sounds coming from the originally calm sea. The hearing of the dragons was far superior to that of humans. Such sounds were definitely not simply produced by the crashing of waves.

Ying Qian felt something was wrong and looked down. Even Ying Qian couldn't help but say "F*ck" in his heart.

I don’t know when, but a whirlpool with a radius of hundreds of meters has formed on the sea surface beneath my feet, and the range of the whirlpool is still expanding. Even if I look down from a height of hundreds of meters, the size of the whirlpool is still surprisingly large.

The next moment, the vortex opened its huge mouth like a black dragon, ferociously devouring everything around it. Ying Qian felt a huge suction force, as if an invisible hand was pulling him firmly to the center of the vortex, making him unable to extricate himself.

The water in the whirlpool was spinning rapidly, surging like a mighty army, and seemed to be able to swallow everything at any time. Ying Qian was caught in it, his body trembling involuntarily, feeling the powerful force binding him tightly.

The surrounding seawater was a strange black color, as if it was the tears of the sea, flowing with endless sadness and fear. The center of the vortex was a dark abyss, a suffocating void, like the entrance to hell, which made people shudder.

In this vortex, time seemed to stand still, and everything seemed so strange and terrifying. Ying Qian was shocked, thinking that if he was sucked into the center of this vortex, it would be bad.

Ying Qian let out a dragon roar, and the yin and yang complementary soul cores in his body began to spin wildly. Ying Qian, who had not used all his strength when facing Xuan Zi and Du Bu Si in the past, actually felt a little exhausted at this moment.

"It's so strange. It seems like there is something in the sea stopping me." Ying Qian was a little puzzled.

Ying Qian had been flying in the sea for dozens of days. What kind of tsunami storm had he not seen? But this ocean storm was really strange. It seemed that there were some energy fluctuations in the sea water, just like soul power.

Thinking of this, Ying Qian immediately gave up the idea of ​​flying out of the whirlpool. Instead, he transformed into his true form, leaped the huge dragon head out of the sea, took a deep breath of air, and then dived into the seabed.

The darkness at the bottom of the sea was like a thick black veil, covering everything. In this dark world, there was no light, no sound, only endless silence and nothingness.

The darkness under the water is so deep that I can't see my fingers clearly, as if the whole world is swallowed by darkness. In this dark seabed, everything seems so strange and terrifying, as if there are countless dangers and unknowns hidden.

In the darkness of the seabed, there is no sign of life, everything seems so dead and desolate. The sand and mud appear pale and powerless in the darkness, as if endless loneliness is silently telling the story of this darkness.

In this dark seabed, Ying Qian felt a sense of oppression and loneliness, as if the whole world was against him. The ocean was so huge that even though Ying Qian had revealed his true form, he was still so obvious in front of the vast ocean.

Ying Qian continued to dive, searching along the bottom of the whirlpool. Ying Qian activated his own soul power, causing his dragon scales to emit a silver light. But in the dark seabed, such light was still too weak.

But it's better than nothing.
