Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 458 Shrek at Night

After completing the arrangement of the clone, Mingjiang couldn't wait to return to Shrek Academy.

He seemed a little anxious, but in fact, he had been undercover here for a long time since he left Shrek Academy and came to Mingdu last time.

In this situation, it is inevitable that one's heart will feel a little restless when returning home.

However, before leaving, Mingjiang still needs to do some things.

After becoming a ninth-level soul engineer, Jing Hongchen has appointed Mingjiang as the deputy head of Mingde Hall.

In fact, there is no such position in Mingdetang, but in order to pave the way for Mingjiang, Jing Hongchen still arranged this position, allowing Mingjiang to gradually become a manager from a simple researcher.

And because of the foundation that Mingjiang had laid in Mingde Hall over the years, he was recognized by most of the Mingde Hall researchers as the deputy hall master.

Of course, if most people agree, there will be a few people who don't.

That's human nature. It's impossible for one person to be liked by everyone.

Therefore, Mingjiang made some plans against those who did not approve of him.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t agree with me. As long as you just do your research in Mingdetang peacefully as usual, I won’t target you.

But if you make trouble, then you will have fun.

After making some deductions and keeping a few backup plans, Mingjiang handed all these matters over to his clone.

Judging from the abilities demonstrated by the clone in the past few days, handling these matters should not be a problem.

Of course, there are some things that Mingjiang should have, such as the Dark Gold Divine Shadow and the Holy Blade of Light. Mingjiang also left them to his clone, and he cannot take them back.

After doing all this, Mingjiang used his mental power to distort the space, disguised himself as a middle-aged man, and left Mingdu on foot.

Why hike?
In order to catch that damn Mingdu thief, the entire Mingdu airspace has been under martial law these days.

It’s not that the use of flying soul guides is not allowed, but that all those who use flying soul guides in the sky over Mingdu must undergo strict inspection, which is very troublesome.

Of course, Mingjiang can also use his spatial ability to teleport directly, but
He got the news from Jing Hongchen that Mingdu had activated a super soul guide that could detect spatial fluctuations. As long as there were strong spatial fluctuations inside Mingdu, they would be detected instantly.

Then, what awaits him is a three-way encirclement and suppression by Mingde Hall, Holy Spirit Church and even the royal family!
Even though Mingjiang is very powerful now, if he is really surrounded by an encirclement of this scale, it will be very difficult to break through!
However, the major forces in Mingdu would never have thought that Mingdu's newly promoted ninth-level soul master, Mingde Hall's deputy head, Mingjiang, would be the thief that made them hate him so much.

Mingdu is very big, and Mingjiang was not in a hurry. He traveled at a relatively slow pace. After a day, he finally walked from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy in the center of Mingdu to the edge of Mingdu.

The moment he stepped out of Mingdu, Mingjiang turned his head and glanced at the first city on the continent behind him.

When I leave this time, the next time I come back, it should be the next competition!

With the presence of his clone, his undercover work is finally over!
After leaving Mingdu, Mingjiang still did not return to his original appearance, but continued to fly to the border of the Sun and Moon Empire in the appearance of a middle-aged man.

However, after leaving Mingdu, he had an extra seventh-level flying soul guide on his back.

You still have to be careful in the Sun-Moon Empire, as any clues may be caught by someone with ulterior motives.

Of course, this is not the reason why Mingjiang uses a seventh-level flying soul guide.

He couldn't make a ninth-level flying soul guide, so he left the eighth-level Dark Gold Divine Shadow to his clone. The highest-level flying soul guide he had now was this seventh-level flying soul guide.

With the help of the seventh-level flying soul guide, Ming Jiang traveled at full speed and finally arrived at the border between the Sun-Moon Empire and the Sky Soul Empire before sunset.

Standing on the border, Mingjiang could easily see the soldiers guarding not far away.

These soldiers were wearing armor and holding spears, looking very majestic.

But when Mingjiang saw this, his brows slightly frowned.

These soldiers looked fully armed, but their equipment was no different from a few years ago.

But the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy provided a large number of low-level soul guidance equipment to the three empires several years ago!
This is the border! After the Heavenly Soul Empire got those soul guides, shouldn't it equip the border troops as soon as possible? Why are these soldiers still the same as before?

"If you want to go over there, hurry up, there are people behind you!"

The soldier urged.

Mingjiang took a few quick steps and said nothing more. This might be an arrangement by the top leaders of the Heavenly Soul Empire. He would inquire about it after returning.

After crossing the border between the Sun-Moon Empire and the Sky Soul Empire, Jiang Ming found a secluded place to restore his appearance. Then his figure flashed, and as the silver light fell, he disappeared from the spot.

Once outside the Sun-Moon Empire, there is no need to conceal one's spatial abilities anymore.

As the sun sets, the orange-red sunset glow shows its brilliant beauty for a brief moment, and then is replaced by the endless night.

Fortunately, although the sunset has passed, the silver moon hanging high in the night sky, emitting gentle and bright light, and the twinkling stars are also a beautiful sight.

The moonlight spreads across the earth, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the way home for pedestrians on the road.

The silver light continued to fall, and Jiang Ming's figure kept appearing and disappearing.

His figure appeared on the plains, on the hills, on the rivers, and in the forests.
Spatial ability is really useful. Even though Xiaokong has only been practicing for ten thousand years and has not yet completed a hundred thousand years of evolution, compared to the abilities of other elves, Xiaokong's ability is indeed more useful.

Time is limited, space is king!
This is indeed true.

Jiang Ming has begun to look forward to how much changes Xiao Kong will undergo after 100,000 years of evolution.

I don’t know how long it took, but when the moon was overhead, Jiang Ming finally arrived near Shrek City.

"Space-related abilities are indeed useful, but they do consume a lot of soul power."

Jiang Ming walked in the grove outside Shrek City, whispering softly while using his mental power to search nearby to see if there were any perverts hiding in the woods like the Golden Body Douluo did last time.

He scanned the surroundings with his mental power and found nothing unusual.

It seems that the Body Sect has given up the idea of ​​capturing him.

Yes, after the last fight with the Golden Body Douluo, the Body Sect should have known their current strength, and Shrek is no pushover either, and they can't let the Body Sect covet their own talents all the time.

Walking out of the forest, Jiang Ming looked towards the entrance of Shrek Academy not far away and his steps became slower and slower.

Even though he could cross this distance with just a thought using his spatial ability, Jiang Ming just walked over step by step, watching the gate getting closer and closer to him.

Finally, Jiang Ming stood at the gate of Shrek Academy, staring at the five big words on the gate, dazed.

I entered Shrek Academy at the age of twelve and now I am twenty-four years old, having gone through a cycle.

Back then he was just a Soul Master, but now he is only one step away from becoming a Titled Douluo, one of the top powers in the Soul Master world.

A lot has happened in these twelve years.
It was late at night, the silver moon was high in the sky, and Shrek Academy looked very quiet.

It was summer, but there was not much heat in Shrek Academy. The water vapor from the Sea God Lake spread to the entire Shrek Academy with the breeze, dispersing the summer heat and leaving a cool atmosphere.

Jiang Ming walked alone on the path in the academy, with the sound of insects and frogs chirping in his ears. With every step he took, his heart seemed to become more peaceful. All along, he could only feel peaceful in two places. One was in his hometown, Qingshui City, and the other was in Shrek Academy.

As for being on an undercover mission in Mingdu, I can never relax and my mind can never calm down.

"Huh? There are still people running in the square so late at night?"

When he arrived at Shrek Square, Jiang Ming discovered that there were still people running here at this time, and there were not just one or two people, but three people running together.

Jiang Ming found it interesting, so he waved and shouted, "Hey, you guys are still running so late at night?"

In the middle of the night, a voice suddenly sounded behind them, which scared the three people who were running. They almost stumbled and fell. Fortunately, there were people around them supporting each other, so the three people did not fall.

"who is this?"

"Are you here to chase us away?"

"No, the college doesn't seem to have a rule that prohibits running in the square at night."

The three of them looked at Jiang Ming who was walking over and discussed in a low voice.

"Want to run?"

"No need, this should be a teacher from the academy, we just need to make it clear, it's not like they are doing anything bad."

"Yes, we are just exercising, not doing anything bad."

As they spoke, the three of them straightened their chests and raised their heads.

Indeed, they are not doing anything bad, so there is no need to be afraid.

"Why don't you sleep so late at night? Are you here to run in the square?"

As they got closer, Jiang Ming saw that the three students were still wearing a layer of iron armor. Beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, and it seemed that they had been running for a while.

"Ahh. Yes, running."

The student being looked at by Jiang Ming said nervously.

Although running in the square late at night was not against school rules, it was inevitable that they would feel nervous when they met someone who looked like a teacher outside of class hours.

"Teacher, we are just running in the square and it does not affect other people."

The tall and thin student in the middle explained.

Jiang Ming smiled and said, "I'm not blaming you. Don't be nervous. You've been running for a while. Why don't you take a break?"

As he spoke, Jiang Ming walked towards the bench at the edge of the square.

The three students looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then, considering that this was Shrek Academy and nothing should be wrong, they followed.

The bench is long enough for four people to sit comfortably.

Jiang Ming reached for the storage soul guide at his waist, and four cups of milk tea containing the water of life appeared in his hands.

"Come, I'll treat you to some milk tea."

The three students took the milk tea nervously, took a look at it in the moonlight, and suddenly a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

"Wow, it's the Spirit of Life!"

"Teacher, this is too expensive, we..."

When the three students saw that Jiang Ming gave them the Spirit of Life, they were surprised and nervous.

This cup of Life Spirit Milk Tea costs ten gold soul coins even in the college cafeteria! Even the students in the external college, even those with a lot of money, can't afford it regularly. In Shrek City, this thing costs fifteen gold soul coins!
"It's okay, just drink it. You need some nutritional supplements after exercise."

Jiang Ming's tone was very gentle, and it also had a little bit of soothing effect, which slowly dissipated the tension in the three students' hearts.

After seeing the three students drinking milk tea, Jiang Ming asked softly, "Why do you want to run in the square so late at night?"

The three students looked at each other, and the tall and thin student said, "The three of us don't have very good talents, and our strength is at the bottom of the class, so we made an appointment to exercise together in the evening, hoping to improve our physical strength."

Hearing this, Jiang Ming nodded slightly and said, "Oh, that's how it is."

Aren’t these three students talented?
The admission standard of Shrek Academy is that before the age of twelve, the soul power cultivation must be above level fifteen.

Except for students like Huo Yuhao who entered through the Tang Sect's special enrollment quota, all other students are above this standard.

In other words, the talents of these three students are also within this standard.

But the standard line is just the starting point. There are too many geniuses in Shrek Academy, even in the outer colleges.

If your level is just at the standard line, it is normal to be at the bottom of the class.

"Teacher, do you think what we are doing is useful? We have persisted for a month, but it seems that the effect is not very good."

A student who looked a little fatter asked with some disappointment.

They persisted every day for a month, and although their physical fitness improved a little, they were still at the bottom of the class.

The other two students also felt a little depressed when they heard this.

The efforts have an effect, but it is not significant, which is very hurtful.

Is this world short of hard-working people?
In fact, there is no shortage of them. Jiang Ming looked at these three students and suddenly thought of his junior brother Huo Yuhao.

The reason why he noticed Huo Yuhao in the first place was because this kid was hardworking and resilient.

When Huo Yuhao first entered the academy, his talent was worse than these three people, but now, Huo Yuhao is already his junior brother, possesses the ultimate ice martial spirit, and has so many external skills.

Jiang Ming even felt that if he had not traveled through time, this kid would have been the so-called child of destiny.

However, Huo Yuhao worked hard, and these three also worked hard, but Jiang Ming did not think that these three could become the next Huo Yuhao.

It’s simple. Hard work is important, but sometimes, opportunity may be more important!

Talent, hard work and opportunity are the three main elements no matter what you do.

Anyone can work hard, but talent determines the results of the effort, and opportunities can change talent!

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming stood up, slowly stretched out his hand, and touched the eyebrows of the three students.

"Since we can meet at this time, it is fate. I will help you."
