Chapter 1425: Is the Atlas Douluo Back?

“Who are you then?” Ying Ying asked the question that everybody else very much wanted the answer to as well. The woman was truly too beautiful. Leave alone the men, even the women had feelings of affection and not the slightest bit of envy for her.

The silver-haired woman smiled faintly. “Who, me? My name is Yali, titled the Holy Spirit.”

“Titled the Holy Spirit?” These few simple words shocked this group of youths deeply. Since young, they had been educated about the soul masters, so, of course, they were well aware of what her words meant.

She was a Title Douluo!

This unrivalled beauty standing there was actually a Title Douluo-ranked powerhouse? It was simply unbelievable! In their minds, the position of a Title Douluo was incomparably lofty, so they had never expected that such a powerhouse would appear before them unannounced. Moreover, she was so kind and courteous.

“How…how about him then?” Ying Ying could not refrain herself from raising her head and looked up to the white-robed youth suspended in mid-air.

“Him?” Yali raised her head and looked toward the white-robed youth in midair. Her gaze became misted in a split second.

“The Atlas Douluo?” The was voice filled with shock and disbelief as if the speaker had seen a ghost. He was trembling by the time he spoke the final word.

A short distance away, a troop of silhouettes appeared in the sky gazing toward them. The figure leading them appeared to be an old man over sixty years old, shivering ever so slightly. He was even rubbing his eyes strenuously in order to make sure his eyes were not deceiving him. He could not believe that what was taking place there was really happening.

What was he seeing? Was that the Atlas Douluo? Could it truly be him? This was truly unbelievable.

‘How is that possible! Isn’t he…isn’t he dead?’

The white-robed youth in mid-air took a calm glance in the old man’s direction, but it made him and the eight comrades by his side feel as if their souls were shuddering. A gush of overwhelming spiritual dominance blew against their faces like it could blot out the sky and cover up the earth. The terrifying pressure had even rendered them incapable of continuing their flight in the sky, and they dropped to the ground at once.

“Go back and tell Qiangu Dongfeng that I’m still alive!” said the white-robed youth. It was a simple phrase, yet every word contained a massive amount of spiritual power that pounded the leading old man’s mind like a war hammer.

“Paff!” The old man parted his lips and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His face was filled with fear and he dared not remain there for a moment more. He turned around and ran away like a stray dog.

That was the Atlas Douluo Yun Ming! He was the almighty being that molded an entire epoch! Even though he had never taken part in the federal parliament personally, a word from him was capable of determining its direction.

It was entirely due to his presence that the Holy Spirit Cult dared not make its comeback and the Spirit Pagoda did not try to advance through dishonest or underhanded means.

Countless evil cults and doctrines had fallen under the Atlas Divine Spear, and he was reputed to be the person closest to Godhood. People even said that he would have already ascended to the Divine Realm and became a God in one attempt if such a realm truly existed.

He was the Sea God’s Pavilion Master and the main pillar of Shrek Academy. He was the man that a Godkiller-rank fixed soul ammunition could not directly destroy.

How was he still alive? How could he possibly still be alive?!

It was a glimpse barely enough to catch the passing scene. The old man had not only seen Yun Ming, but he had also seen the smiling Holy Spirit Douluo with her head of gray hair standing on the ground as well.

The husband and wife had forever been inseparable like a body and its shadow. They were the true greatest of the continent’s powerhouses.

The fact that Yun Ming was still alive signified that the soul of Shrek Academy had not been extinguished! The plan to rebuild Shrek was more than just empty words.

At that moment, the surface of the Sea God Lake began to bubble and several figures came bursting out of it. They flew into the air and landed on the ground at the edge of the deep hole by the shore.

Each of them lined themselves up in order. They looked up at the white-robed youth in midair and said respectfully, “Greetings, Pavilion Master.”

Yun Ming spoke calmly, “From this day onward, Shrek Academy shall be rebuilt. On this day in the next year, we begin our new intake of students.”

Ying Ying and the rest of the people could clearly see that more and more people were coming out from the lake. All of them were alert and in high spirits, and each was emitting a powerful energy fluctuation.

If one were to say that the group of youths found it hard to believe that Yaping’s brother was still alive earlier, then, they had already believed it truly at this exact moment. Moreover, they believed it even more that Shrek Academy was going to be rebuilt truly!

“Oh my god! What have we borne witness to?” said the youth who had been driving earlier, his words filled with shock.

“Shrek’s legacy will be succeeded!” How could the other youth not be astonished by the entire situation?

“There’s no need for succession. Shrek’s legacy never ended,” said Yali with a smile on her face.

Yes, Shrek Academy’s legacy had never ceased. On the other hand, the effort to rebuild it was about to begin from this very moment. No matter how tough the path was, no matter how uncertain the future, the academy was bound to reappear before all of their eyes.

Before that day, who would have thought that there were still so many people from Shrek Academy? Who would have expected that Shrek would choose to carry out its rebuilding efforts at that moment?

“I…I want to go home. I want to go home quickly and tell my father about this. Ever since Shrek Academy was destroyed, he has been sighing in despair almost every day. Shrek is going to be rebuilt! Father is certainly going to be joyous beyond comparison.” Ying Ying was suddenly jumping about in excitement.

The rest of them gazed into each other’s eyes. Yes! The news was critical. Moreover, they were the only witnesses and they had even recorded the proceedings. They were going to spread the word. The reconstruction of the number one academy on the continent was of the utmost importance. On the other hand, they were proud to be able to bear witness to this event.

“Your Excellency, we shall bid farewell now.” The group saluted to Yun Ming in the sky and Yali before them before they turned around and ran back to the rover.

Yali could not help sighing with emotion as she gazed after the departing rover. Shrek’s public appeal was already made. The period of time that followed would be vital.

She raised her head and looked toward ‘Yun Ming’ in the sky. How wonderful it would be if that was truly her Brother Ming!

Cargo trucks were driving in a line along the highway at present. The trucks were not driving at high speed, but the formation of a hundred large trucks was still quite eye-catching.

Mo Lan sat on the passenger side of the first truck. Her charming face cracked into a faint smile. The resistance was finally about to begin!

Due to numerous political concerns, she was finally promoted to the consul of Heaven Dou City as the true leader of Heaven Dou City. She had inherited her father’s position. She had already become the leader of all sections and was cherished by the Dove Faction.

No matter how arrogant the Spirit Pagoda was, they did not have the audacity to do anything to her openly. Many of the Hawk Faction’s officers were also filled with admiration for this woman who experienced much hardship in life and whose entire family perished in a terrorist attack. Despite all that, she had not let sorrow defeat her, and she was putting much effort into helping people. The reconstruction of Heaven Dou City was thanks to her. It resulted in the city being rebuilt swiftly, allowing the people to live there very quickly.

She was not a soul master herself, and that was the reason that the common people respected and supported her even more. She was the true representative of the ordinary officers.

The media had even chosen her as one of the most influential and distinguished women in the entire continent.

She was the youngest out of the leaders in the Dove Faction and she was loved by her seniors. The Dove Faction was protecting her very well for the moment and she had their full support. Despite the Hawk Faction having in the majority, the Dove Faction still has support in certain domains, so they were not completely overwhelmed by their rivals. These were all closely related to Mo Lan’s efforts.

The one hundred heavy-duty vehicles were all carrying supplies which had already been prepared one month ago. Heaven Dou City received the federal government’s full support for the reconstruction process, so numerous preferential policies and supplies were readied for them. The supplies transported by these vehicles were included too, but they had been purchased by Shrek Academy. Mo Lan’s influence would at least ensure that she could sell these supplies to Shrek Academy at affordable prices so Shrek’s effort would not be impeded.

Everything was already settled when that good little brother of hers paid her a visit over a month ago.

The speed at which Shrek Academy was rebuilt mattered. It might have been rushed, but it definitely could not be slow. If people from the Spirit Pagoda and those that opposed Shrek within the Federation had the time to react to the situation, it would be far more more difficult to rebuild the academy.

Even though Mo Lan did not agree that this was the best time to rebuild Shrek Academy, since Shrek had already made the decision, she would support them unconditionally.

If Shrek Academy could be successfully rebuilt, its presence would be hugely beneficial to the Dove Faction.

The Dove Faction had the support of only about fifteen percent of the military at the moment. On the other hand, many of the higher-ranking generals in the military had come from Shrek Academy. The academy’s public appeal would undoubtedly sway them. Even if the military chose to uphold their views, at the very least, it would ensure that the Dove Faction had an easier time in the political world.
