Douluo Dragon King: The First Person in History

Chapter 17 of the First Person

"Ah! I'll go apologize to them," Cai Yue'er on the other side said, sounding aggrieved.

"Hmph! Then who else should we send? Yue'er, you're all grown up now. How can you expect someone else to clean up your messes?"

Seeing this, Ya Li quickly snatched the soul communication device from Yun Ming's hand. "Yue'er, Brother Ming was too impulsive just now."

When I get back, I'll have him apologize to you properly. But this time, you have to go in person to show them our sincerity.

Looking at the disconnected soul communication device, Cai Yue'er was filled with anger.

Ming-ge called me, why are you interrupting?

Okay! Okay! Okay! You wanted me to apologize? Well, don't blame me if anything goes wrong. After all, I was known throughout the continent for my quirky and mischievous nature back in the day.

Chapter 35 Secretly Driving

"That's it. Shrek Academy, out of humanitarian considerations, will compensate you with an inner court spot. As for these resources, you'd better take care of them yourselves."

Watching the white-haired old woman's departing figure, Xia Long clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. This was outrageous!

As a federal congressman, he didn't even offer an apology for his son's death. Could an inner court spot bring his son back? Looking in the direction Cai Yue'er had left, Xia Long's eyes were filled with intense hatred.

He took out his soul-guided communicator and made a call to an anonymous password: "Hey, I agree to this plan."

At the same time, the Federal Speaker, who had just hung up on Yun Ming, suddenly threw the soul-guided communicator in his hand away.

This is insane, absolutely insane. Does the Federation now need Shrek Academy's approval even to sponsor any academy?

So, does this Federation belong to the Sun and Moon or to Shrek Academy? He slumped into his chair, pondering how to handle this situation.

He was aware of some of the actions and movements of the various councilors. Even among the neutral and dove factions supported by Shrek, some were extremely dissatisfied with Shrek.

But that plan was just too horrifying! He took out another soul-guided communicator, looked at the anonymous number that had called, and after thinking for a long time, he finally chose to answer it.

After Cai Yue'er went to apologize to the families of the students who died in battle and Yun Ming personally communicated with the Speaker of the Federal Council, Shrek Academy returned to its former tranquility.

But in the shadows, a bloody storm that could shock the entire continent is brewing.

Mingdu, the former capital of the Sun and Moon Empire.

This place is like a steel forest made of steel and soul tools. Even now, it remains famous.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy Dean's Office

An elderly man with blond hair stood with his hands behind his back in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

The middle-aged man behind him, wearing glasses and a meticulously tailored black suit, took out a specially made soul-guided communicator and pressed the amplification button.

A heated argument broke out. "Hey! Hey! Hey! Actually, we could have chosen to negotiate with them again. Wasn't using those two soul-guided cannons a bit too extreme?"

The hoarse male voice immediately retorted, "Talk! Talk! Talk! What's there to talk about? Can you even reason with them? When has Shrek ever been reasonable?"

In a dimly lit room, a group of people dressed in suits sat scattered around the wooden table in the center.

Among this group, several people had opened a soul-guided communicator in their pockets, one of which was dialing the blond old man.

Xia Long stood up excitedly; it was he who had just refuted the congressman who proposed peace talks.

“Talk! Tell me, what right do we have to talk to them? Which of Long Yeyue, Cai Yue'er, and Yun Ming is reasonable?”

How many people died in Mingdu because of Yun Ming? Did he apologize? And my son…”

At this point, even this lawmaker, known for his tough stance, couldn't help but shed tears.

That was his proudest and most beloved son. He still remembers the image of his son looking at Shrek with anticipation in his eyes.

But now, unexpectedly, it's the elderly burying their children.

A dovish councilor sitting to Xia Long's right echoed, "Exactly! My son is gone. What good is that damn inner court spot to me?"

As a group of people vehemently denounced Shrek Academy's various misdeeds, a man surnamed Xu sitting opposite Xia Long began to add fuel to the fire.

"Gentlemen, what can we do when Shrek Academy is so powerful? Sigh!"

We had no choice but to put up with it. Giving us even a spot in the inner academy was already incredibly generous of Shrek Academy. Have you forgotten what happened on Devil's Island? We still had to back down then.”

As the congressman listed one incident after another, the group of congressmen felt increasingly aggrieved. He exchanged a glance with the congressman sitting opposite him.

The two of them took turns stirring up the emotions of everyone present, until finally the topic returned to the soul-guided cannonballs.

"Can we really manage on our own?"

The councilor surnamed Xu immediately suggested, "It's alright. It's not just us; there are also ten vice-speakers, nineteen committee members, and our speaker. They've all disliked Shrek for a long time."

The congressman sitting opposite him continued, "And the previous speakers, many of them were also persecuted by Shrek."

"What does Speaker Guan want?"

"The last time he signed that agreement to fund various prestigious universities, Shrek Academy found out."

"They're involved in this too?"

"Shrek, huh? That's normal."

Xia Long tapped the table. "Then who should we choose to carry out the task?"

The councilor surnamed Xu glanced at the silent councilors around him and sighed inwardly. "They're hopeless; what's the point of worrying about saving face now?"

A bunch of useless bums who aren't even officially recognized have no guts. He winked at the councilor sitting diagonally opposite him.

The other person nodded, stood up, and exposed everyone's ulterior motives: "If you won't say it, then I will. Aren't you just trying to find the Holy Spirit Cult to take the blame, but you're all too embarrassed to do so?"

"Let me be frank, some of you here surely have their contact information. Let's use them to do our dirty work."

"I've already decided on the choice for the 'Sword Master': our Speaker. We're all in the water, and he's just watching? No way."

"Correct."

"can."

"Hmph! He shamelessly fawned over Shrek back then, and now that he's all grown up, he wants to start his own business. What can he do without us?"

"What do you say?"

Councilor Xu tapped the table. "The plan must be implemented within ten years. Let's put pressure on the Speaker and get him to talk to the Holy Spirit Church."

With a chorus of approval, the conference, which was enough to cause a sensation throughout the entire continent, came to an end.

After all the councilors left, the few councilors who had secretly taken out their soul-guided communicators returned to the scene.

The councilor surnamed Xu loosened his tie. "What a nuisance. Do those good-for-nothings think they can dominate the continent now that Shrek Academy is gone?"

The councilor surnamed Le, who had been cooperating with him, laughed and said, "A bunch of nouveau riche who have never seen the world. They think they are the strongest on the continent just because they have those three soul-guided cannons."

They don't even consider that without our support, could they have accomplished anything?

The councilor who had just been sitting diagonally opposite the councilor surnamed Xu was now sitting next to him. "Old Xu, what's next?"

The other party sneered, "What are we doing? Of course, we're going to continue sowing discord between them. Just wait and see. By the way, how has the young master been lately?"

"It's all good. The old patriarch has been wholeheartedly teaching the young master recently."

"That's good. Let's go out for a drink, everyone. The rest is up to our superiors to figure out."

The others nodded as well.

They didn't care whether it was those self-righteous congressmen or the arrogant Shrek who died.

"Ha! A bunch of families that don't even have divine artifacts or ultimate abilities are still dreaming of ruling the continent. Let them go fight Shrek Academy like dogs!"

"Brother Yu is right! It really is Brother Yu."

"Not at all! Brother Hongchen, we still need the support of your Hongchen family!"

Chapter 36 Wu Hongchen

"Dean, the other companies are already providing assistance behind the scenes. What do you think we should do..."

The blond old man turned to look at his secretary. "Xiao Lin, you need to hurry up and retrieve the soul-guided cannonballs that were stolen from us by the Star Luo Empire's spies a while ago."

Secretary Lin nodded knowingly. "Yes, Dean. I will definitely report to the Federation and ask them to assist us in recovering those shells."

"After all, those are five level-nine soul-guided cannon shells and twenty-five level-eight soul-guided cannon shells."

The blond elder, the current patriarch of the Hongchen family, the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, and a level 99 Limit Douluo, Wu Hongchen, instructed...

"Also, we must keep a close watch on that batch of level nine soul-guided cannon shells that are currently being produced. Beware of those rats hiding in the shadows."

"clear."

Wu Hongchen stroked his beard and then looked at the others.

Angel Family Territory

An elderly man with white hair, dressed in a robe embroidered with golden angel patterns, gazed at the hundred-meter-tall angel statue standing in the center of the clan's territory.

The middle-aged man behind him hung up the soul-guided communicator. "Father, the instructions have been given. The ninth-level soul masters in the family have also gone into seclusion recently. Which other families?"

The white-haired old man turned around, looking at his eldest son with a mixture of disappointment and frustration.

“Zhengzhou, how have I always taught you? You can’t be a merciful general. At times like this, you have to cut the Gordian knot. There are plenty of people who don’t like those Shrek’s dogs.”

They're always talking about Shrek Academy, but are we, the Southern Legion, Shrek's legion? They want to have their cake and eat it too, expecting a voice without contributing anything. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

As the largest military legion in the Federation, it is least dependent on the military government, which is all thanks to the support and sponsorship of the major families in the south.

One-fifth of the members of the federal government come from major families in the South, which makes it impossible for the federal government and the military to intervene.

As the leading family among the major families in the south, the Angel Family was happy to see this situation, but Shrek Academy's petty actions over the years had aroused their resentment.

After some descendants of certain families went to Shrek Academy to study, their entire families gradually became biased, disregarding the interests of everyone else and constantly favoring Shrek.

It's important to understand that even the Federation would find it extremely difficult to send people into the Southern Legion. Yet those Shrek dogs, shouting about Shrek's honor, kept confirming that the other side had planted spies in the Southern Legion.

The actions of the various clan leaders, led by Le Jung-eun, have become unbearable, which is why they have had their clan members constantly incite others.

"Zhengzhou! Zhengyu should still let him go to Shrek Academy to study for a while."

Hearing this, Yue Zhengzhou looked at his father in confusion and asked, "Father, what does this mean?"

Le Zheng'en smiled slightly, "Xuanming is preparing to send their child to Shrek Academy."

Le Zhengzhou was even more puzzled after hearing this. "Haven't Uncle Xu and the others always been at odds with Shrek Academy? And that child even has the blood of the Qian Gu family. This..."

"Hmph! Their family has connections in the Sea God Pavilion, so he'll help that kid a bit. We can just have Zhengyu go with him then."
