Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

921 – VIP Reception

TL: BluVerse

Outside of the warship, among the waiting crowd, there were some familiar faces and some unfamiliar ones. From Shrek Academy’s side, an elderly man with white hair stood at the forefront. He had a calm demeanor and an expressionless face. However, even someone like Elder Shu stood a step behind him, indicating the high status of this person in the academy. Behind him were Ying Luohong, Tang Zhenhua, Xiao Qi, and others.

It wasn’t just people from the academy; members of the Tang Sect were also present. At the forefront on their side stood none other than the Vice Hall Master of the Battle Hall, Tang Miao, along with some other powerful figures from the Battle Hall.

Apart from representatives of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, what caught Lan Xuanyu and their attention the most was a group of soldiers wearing military uniforms.

At the forefront stood a man who appeared to be in his fifties. His appearance was unremarkable, but he exuded an aura of authority without anger. Three stars adorned his shoulders, and on the outer circle of these stars was a golden sword-shaped pattern.

Lan Xuanyu recognized that this pattern represented one of the Federation’s most important institutions, the War God Temple. Without a doubt, this man was a general from the War God Temple, surely one of the top-ranking formidable war gods.

This level of reception was undoubtedly at the highest level of the Federation. It was not because of Lan Xuanyu and their identities but because of the message they had transmitted back.

Lan Xuanyu was the first to disembark from the ship, heading towards the side of Shrek Academy.

Elder Shu took a step forward, approaching the white-haired man, and said to Lan Xuanyu, “This is Elder Yi, the First Deputy of our Sea God Pavilion.”

“Hello, Elder Yi,” Lan Xuanyu hurriedly greeted.

Elder Yi nodded slightly to him. “You’ve done well this time. The military will have detailed inquiries for you later. Just tell the truth, and we will observe from the side.”

Lan Xuanyu was smart enough to understand instantly.

The message they transmitted back was indeed too important, involving various aspects related to the Dragon Source Crystal and having broad implications. The Federation needed to confirm further. The arrival of high-level members from Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect was, in fact, to support them.

Tang Miao smiled and said, “Come, Xuanyu, let me introduce you.” As he spoke, he led Lan Xuanyu towards the general.

Lan Xuanyu hurriedly followed him to the front of the general.

As they approached, he immediately felt an invisible pressure emanating from the general. It was a mental pressure, not something deliberately done by the general.

Tang Miao smiled and said, “This is General Yu Muchen, the Head War God of the War God Temple.”

The Head War God? Lan Xuanyu’s heart trembled. This was undoubtedly a significant figure in the War God Temple, second only to the Hall Master. Even the Vice Hall Master could only be considered equal to him.

Yu Muchen nodded to Lan Xuanyu and said in a deep voice, “I also serve in the Sky Fighter Department of the Douluo Continent. The message you transmitted back this time is very important, but it needs further verification.”

“Now?” Lan Xuanyu asked.

Yu Muchen said indifferently, “Now. Otherwise, why do you think we are waiting for you here?”

Although Lan Xuanyu was eager to see Uncle Le, he also understood that this was an essential process. After all, this matter was too important.

“Okay,” Lan Xuanyu nodded. Yu Muchen then turned to Elder Yi and said, “Elder Yi, I’ll have people start isolating and questioning these young people.”

“Alright, but don’t take too long,” Elder Yi said calmly.

Lan Xuanyu noticed that when Yu Muchen faced Elder Yi, his attitude was noticeably different—less rigid and more respectful.

Without going anywhere else, the Star Wars Experimental Class members were taken to different rooms right in the Shrek Space Center. All thirty-three of them underwent separate interrogations. The interrogations were mainly conducted by the military, but representatives from Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect were also present.

This was because Lan Xuanyu and the others were from Shrek Academy. For anyone else, standing before the War God Temple would mean unquestioning obedience and likely strict questioning. However, for students from Shrek, that wasn’t feasible.

The one questioning Lan Xuanyu was none other than Yu Muchen himself.

After listening to Lan Xuanyu’s account, Yu Muchen asked in a deep voice, “According to your assessment, what level of strength do you think the head of Dragon Planet, the leader of the Dragon Horse Galaxy, possesses?”

Lan Xuanyu replied, “It should be at the Super God level. Over level 120.”

“How can you be sure?”

“If it weren’t at this level, Teacher Nana would have been able to resist him. Moreover, he was just a projection, not his real body. If it were his real body, we probably wouldn’t have made it back alive. Based on my judgment, the reason why the consciousness in the Dragon Source Crystal couldn’t be detected is because our consciousnesses weren’t at the level of a god-level expert like his.”

“And how did you discover this?” Yu Muchen asked in a deep voice.

Lan Xuanyu hesitated for a moment but said, “I once obtained a peculiar beast called the Treasure Seeking Beast. It once lived in the God Realm. It recognized the strength of the opponent’s consciousness and confirmed that the opponent was a being comparable to a god-level entity in the God Realm. What the God Realm refers to as a god-level entity is probably what we now call a Super God-level expert.”

“The Treasure Seeking Beast? Release it, let me see it,” Lan Xuanyu looked at Elder Yi beside him, and Elder Yi nodded to him.

Lan Xuanyu then communicated with the Treasure Seeking Beast mentally. With a flash of light, the Treasure Seeking Beast emerged from his forehead.

Seeing the Treasure Seeking Beast’s appearance, Yu Muchen was clearly taken aback, but he still squinted his eyes, and the light in his eyes flickered as a spiritual consciousness instantly probed towards the Treasure Seeking Beast.

The Treasure Seeking Beast didn’t understand what was happening and let out a strange cry, jumping up. Then, a terrifying aura suddenly emanated from its body.

Yu Muchen’s face changed drastically, and he instantly retracted his spiritual consciousness. Meanwhile, Elder Yi on the other side was also shocked, and a yellow halo radiated around his body.

But the terrifying aura disappeared in an instant, and the Treasure Seeking Beast’s face also turned somewhat pale.

“Master, he’s very strong, a second rank level god” the Treasure Seeking Beast looked at Yu Muchen, clearly frightened.

Yu Muchen’s hand had already lifted, and his right palm had turned blue-purple. When Lan Xuanyu saw this change in his palm, he immediately felt a suffocating sensation. He fully believed that if that palm were to strike him, he would undoubtedly die.

“Don’t be impulsive. That doesn’t seem to be its own power,” Elder Yi’s voice came from the side.

Yu Muchen also realized something at this point, furrowing his brows slightly. “Aura simulation?”

The Treasure Seeking Beast shrunk behind Lan Xuanyu, snorted, “So what if I use my spiritual consciousness to scare you? Are you afraid of the aura of a God King?”

The light in Yu Muchen’s hand dimmed as he looked at the Treasure Seeking Beast, showing a hint of interest. “It does seem to be a spiritual wave; otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to simulate such an aura. Are you really from the God Realm? Do you know why the God Realm disappeared?”

“Humph,” the Treasure Seeking Beast snorted, “I left before the God Realm disappeared, how would I know?”

“General Yu, you’re getting off track,” Elder Yi said calmly from the side.

Yu Muchen looked at the Treasure Seeking Beast, then at Lan Xuanyu, becoming more and more interested in this young man. Lan Xuanyu was the class leader of the Outer Court graduation class. Judging from his cultivation level, he wasn’t too strong. But the fact that Elder Yi personally came forward today meant a lot. It showed how much Shrek Academy valued Lan Xuanyu.

“Can you confirm that the powerhouse from the Dragon Horse Galaxy who attacked you that day is the head god you mentioned?” Yu Muchen asked the Treasure Seeking Beast.

The Treasure Seeking Beast nodded and said, “There’s no mistake. It’s been a very, very long time since I’ve felt the aura of a first-rank god. But the difference between a first-rank god and a second-rank god is immense. At the level of a first-rank god, one can dominate an area. Even in the God Realm, it was the same—they held control. For example, the seven elemental gods of the God Realm and the seven gods of the seven deadly sins were all first-rank gods.”
