Chapter 141: The Arrival at Shrek City
Of course, besides the shattered divine seats of the three Dragon Kings, Du Qianjue needed one more thing...
He glanced at the city ahead, revealing a strange smile.
Shrek City.
A couple strolled down the street, occasionally stopping to buy some snacks or small trinkets. People unconsciously turned their gaze towards them.
Because they were simply stunning.
The man was tall and slender, nearly 1.9 meters in height, with black hair that shimmered red and blue under the sunlight, and a handsome, robust face with a gentle smile.
The woman was exquisitely shaped, clad in a long ice-blue dress that completely concealed her body, yet one could imagine how perfect the figure beneath the dress was. Her face, seemingly not of this world, radiated a captivating aura.
"Great-uncle mentioned that many people had left Shrek City, but it doesn't seem much different from Heaven Dou City," Du Qianjue muttered, ignoring the surrounding gazes.
"It's noticeable that many have left. Along the way, I've seen many shops with their doors tightly shut," Xue Linglong replied with a smile.
"Those must be the ones who left."
"But Shrek City remains prosperous, a true testament to the millennia of management by Shrek Academy," Du Qianjue said, tossing away a bamboo skewer and looking towards the east.
That was where Shrek Academy was located.
"Shall we go visit Shrek Academy?"
"Why not?"
With a single step, they vanished from the spot.
This scene left the many onlookers astounded, only then realizing that the couple was among the world's powerful beings.
"Please announce that Sect Master Du Qianjue of the Corporeal Sect has arrived at Shrek Academy with his partner," Du Qianjue said with a smile, looking at the duty teacher at the gate of Shrek.
Force entry? Sneak in?
Unnecessary!
He was here to tell the people of Shrek that Du Qianjue had arrived!
As for danger,
With his Level 77 power comparable to Grandmaster Xuan, plus Xue Linglong, a Beast God at the pinnacle of the continent's power,
They might not defeat Shrek Academy, which held the Golden Tree as their ace, but escaping was no problem at all.
And if Shrek really acted against them, Du Qianjue's several level-nine soul-guiding shell missiles were ready to "cleanse" Shrek City.
It would be funny if, instead of bombing the capital, he ended up bombing Shrek City.
"Du Qianjue?" The duty teacher's face changed, feeling the terrifying aura from the couple, his expression serious.
"Please wait a moment."
"No need, I'm here." Before the teacher could move, a voice as gentle as a spring breeze sounded.
Golden feathers appeared in the air, eventually forming into a white-robed old man with a smile.
"Dean Yan." The duty teacher bowed respectfully.
Dean Yan waved his hand, and the teacher understood, returning to the academy.
"I didn't expect the Sect Master of the Corporeal Sect to visit our Shrek Academy. May I ask what brings you here?" Dean Yan spoke warmly.
Since the moment Du Qianjue and Xue Linglong arrived at Shrek's gate, Dean Yan had been aware of them, as they hadn't concealed their presence.
He had been curious about the two unfamiliar powerful auras at Shrek Academy, never expecting them to be the Sect Master of the Corporeal Sect.
Of course, Dean Yan wasn't aware of Du Qianjue's combat achievements; if he had known that Du could match Grandmaster Xuan, he certainly wouldn't dare address Du Qianjue as a young friend.
In a world where power speaks, people of the same level, regardless of age difference, are considered equals.
Du Qianjue didn't mind these small matters; after all, his age was indeed younger, and even combined with a previous life, it was less than half of Dean Yan's. Calling him a young friend was indeed not an issue.
He wore a professional fake smile, much like Dean Yan's: "Dean Yan is too kind. They say it's better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books. Although I have some achievements in cultivation, my experience is ultimately lacking, and Shrek Academy, being the first academy of the continent for millennia, naturally has much I can learn."
"Would Dean Yan allow my wife and I to stay at Shrek Academy for a few days to experience the atmosphere of the continent's first academy?"
Du Qianjue's words elevated Shrek Academy to the skies, making it difficult for Dean Yan to refuse.
To refuse?
How could he refuse?!
Especially when Du Qianjue's announced identity was the Sect Master of the Corporeal Sect—rejecting him could spread across the continent in seconds.
But if he didn't refuse, what if the Sect Master caused some trouble at Shrek Academy? How would they handle it then?
Dean Yan felt troubled for the first time, his head aching.
Luckily, help arrived the next second.
"Accept his request, bring them to me," a gentle and aged voice spoke in Dean Yan's ear. He nodded and bowed towards the direction of the voice.
"The request of a young friend is something our Shrek Academy naturally cannot refuse, but please follow me first to meet my teacher," Dean Yan said with a smile.
"The name of Dragon God Douluo is one I've long admired; having the opportunity to meet him personally is indeed fortunate," Du Qianjue nodded.
"Then follow me." Dean Yan began walking in the air as if stepping on an invisible staircase that supported him in the sky.
This technique, known as 'Walking the Void' in the original texts, was used by Dean Yan to assert dominance over Jing Hongchen.
But for Du Qianjue and Xue Linglong, it was just another skill.
Holding Xue Linglong's hand, Du Qianjue also stepped into the air, walking as if on solid ground, keeping pace with Dean Yan.
Realizing the couple's actions, Dean Yan turned and his pupils dilated.
Du Qianjue and Xue Linglong walked in the air as if in a leisurely stroll, laughing and observing the layout of Shrek Academy.
This left Dean Yan somewhat dumbfounded.
While 'Walking the Void' might seem mundane, it actually requires an extraordinary control of soul power and a unity with nature that is incredibly high.
One wouldn't be able to use this technique without reaching the Super Douluo level.
Du Qianjue could use it?
And the woman beside him too?
He didn't even sense any threat from her!
Dean Yan felt a chill on his scalp.
No longer posturing, he quickly led them down to land in front of the dormitory, bowing to an elderly man on a lounge chair: "Teacher, they are here."
