Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

622 – Successor of the Life School

Lan Xuanyu said, “Heaven Planet is a planet of evil. Our Tang Sect and even our Shrek Academy probably have spies there. On the other hand, our Mother Planet is the capital of the Federation and is also its most important planet. Under such circumstances, is it possible for spies from Sin Planet to be there as well? When I was young, there were criminals from Sin Planet causing trouble in Heaven Luo Planet. My mother and I almost died in their hands.”

Deng Bo didn’t say anything, but Wang Tianyu said, “There are probably some spies. People from Heaven Planet are everywhere.”

Lan Xuanyu said, “That’s right! If these spies were to find out that our Tang Sect’s reconnaissance warship attacked the pirate warships protecting Heaven Planet, they would immediately understand that everything that happened before was done by the Tang Sect or our Shrek Academy! How could we let them discover such a warship? So, I helped the Tang Sect to hide the warship first! Then, after the storm passes, we’d find a secret place and hand the warship back to the Tang Sect. This way, the warship won’t be exposed and our spies on Heaven Planet won’t be purged.”

At this point, Bai Xiuxiu, Lan Mengqin, Tang Yuge, Qian Lei, Liu Feng, and Yuanen Huihui raised their heads.

Their eyes were filled with admiration as they looked at Lan Xuanyu. They almost shouted, “Boss, there’s such a thing?”

Lan Xuanyu looked aggrieved while he was speaking righteously.

Wang Tianyu was also somewhat dazed from listening.

“Senior Tang, did I do anything wrong in protecting the Tang Sect and Shrek? Please find a place to hide the warship and I will return it to you immediately! How could I take away the Tang Sect’s warship? I’m doing this for Tang Sect’s sake, aren’t I?”

Deng Bo couldn’t help but ask, “Why didn’t you tell me directly then?”

Lan Xuanyu smiled bitterly. “Team leader, did you forget what happened back then? You were caught by us. At that time, you couldn’t wait to give us a beating. After taking away the Tang Sect’s warship in front of you, what would you do? Would you trust us?”

Deng Bo realized that Lan Xuanyu’s words were almost flawless!

Tang Zhenhua had already turned around to prevent himself from revealing the smile on his face. How could he not know his disciple’s character? He would never believe that this brat wasn’t coveting the Tang Sect’s warship at all. However, he should have other motives for saying that. Also, he didn’t teach him the ability to turn everything around!

The corners of Tang Miao’s mouth twitched. “It doesn’t seem like there’s anything wrong with it, and he has merit! Xuanyu is very thoughtful.” As he spoke, he glanced at Deng Bo.

Deng Bo wanted to cry. ‘I can also think of avoiding being exposed! But first I have to have a soul storage device as big as him to collect this warship!’

Lan Xuanyu looked at Wang Tianyu. “Pavilion Master, what do you think…”

Wang Tianyu scoffed and said, “Since you’re protecting the academy and the Tang Sect, why was your communication device switched off and we were unable to contact you guys?”

Lan Xuanyu said in embarrassment, “We kidnapped a senior from the Tang Sect and were afraid of being scolded. But we did it to complete the final exam, so we really had no choice! We originally wanted to wait until after the holidays when the teachers and team leader Deng were appeased before apologizing. We didn’t expect such a misunderstanding.”

Tang Miao looked at Lan Xuanyu deeply and said, “Since it’s a misunderstanding, forget it. Xuanyu, come to our Tang Sect later and hand over the warship.”

“Alright,” Lan Xuanyu replied respectfully.

Right at this moment, a low voice suddenly came from outside the door. “Tang Miao, this is outrageous.” Following the voice, a figure appeared outside the door.

Upon seeing this person, Wang Tianyu’s face darkened. Tang Miao quickly stood up and said respectfully, “Elder Shu.”

The corners of Lan Xuanyu’s lips curled up. Elder Shu’s timing was perfect! After he returned, he had called Tang Zhenhua first and then Elder Shu.

Elder Shu snorted and went to Lan Xuanyu’s side. He looked at Wang Tianyu and Tang Miao and said, “Why are you bullying people from my Life School! We were kind enough to cover up for the academy and the Tang Sect, what are you guys doing? Doing a three-party trial ? Wang Tianyu, you’re getting worse as the Pavilion Master, where’s your brain?”

Wang Tianyu clenched his fists, but he couldn’t refute. If this matter was really as Lan Xuanyu said, it really wasn’t his fault.

Most importantly, although he was unhappy with Elder Shu taking advantage of his seniority and being so protective of his protegee’s shortcomings, he was older and had the highest qualifications in the Sea God Pavilion. What could he say in front of the Tang Sect?

“Oh? Lan Xuanyu is from the Life School ?” Tang Miao asked curiously.

Elder Shu held Lan Xuanyu’s hand and lifted it up. “Look at what he’s wearing. Without the Ring of Fate, how can he store your warship? How many soul storage devices can carry a warship in the entire Federation?”

Ring of Fate ?

Tang Miao didn’t notice it just now, but when he saw the ring on Lan Xuanyu’s hand, he was stunned and cried out, “Elder Shu, he inherited the Ring of Fate?”

“That’s right,” Elder Shu said proudly. “So, you’re wrongly accusing the successor of our Life School. What should we do about this?”

Wang Tianyu looked at Elder Shu in shock. “You have a successor?”

Elder Shu said coldly, “That’s right, are you guys blind? You can’t see the Ring of Fate?”

Tang Miao knew that things were now a little troublesome. The Tang Sect’s status in the Federation was similarly transcendent and had a history similar to Shrek Academy. There was really nothing that the Tang Sect did not dare to provoke, but there were some forces that they really could not offend. The Life School was one of them.

The Life School had the most profound research in the entire Federation on life energy research and was also the intermediary of the Eternal Tree. Most of the time, the Life School could represent the Eternal Tree’s will. This was also the reason why Elder Shu held such a high position in the academy.

The 1,000-year lifespan of a god-rank powerhouse was thanks to the Life School. Ordinary god-rank powerhouses could only live for 300 to 400 years. How could they live to 1,000 years without the support of the Life School ?

The Life School of Shrek Academy was an honored guest of a top-notch power no matter where they went. Even the most arrogant Federation’s Parliament members were very respectful when they saw people from the Life School. It was because these people controlled life and death!

It was just that Shrek Academy’s Life School rarely left the academy. Elder Shu had been in control of the Life School for hundreds of years. It had been so long that everyone had forgotten the possibility of the Life School changing its leader.

At this very moment, Elder Shu had established this point in front of Tang Miao and Wang Tianyu. This was simply too significant. Lan Xuanyu might only be a child, but as long as he grew up and became the successor of the Life School, he would definitely enter the Sea God Pavilion in the future and his status would not be low!

Lan Xuanyu was stunned as well. Since when did he become the successor of the Life School ? Wasn’t this title a little too big?

But now that Elder Shu was cooperating with him, he couldn’t refute him! At the same time, he felt something strange in his heart. He finally understood why the storage space in the Ring of Fate was so big. Was this actually the emblem representing the Life School ?

“Elder Shu, I’m very sorry, this junior really didn’t know about this. Lan Xuanyu, I apologize on behalf of the Tang Sect,” Tang Miao said seriously.

But Elder Shu pulled Lan Xuanyu behind him and didn’t let him accept Tang Miao’s apology. “If a simple apology is enough, why do we need laws ? Let’s do something more practical.” Elder Shu raised his long brows.

Wang Tianyu said from the side, “This isn’t good. Elder Shu, we can’t just take the Tang Sect’s warship for no reason!”
