Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King - Chapter 1578

Arba’s eyes were filled with fury, and he could already sense that he was in trouble. Never did he think that he would encounter such powerful humans as soon as he arrived in this world.

Furthermore, the main issue that he had to face was that he was currently unable to even return to the demonic plane.

Too much of the demonic plane’s energy had been expended to send him into this plane; if he wanted to reopen the planar passageway, he and his subordinates would have to devour a massive amount of energy from this world.

He had thought that this wouldn’t be much of an issue at all, but his plan had been completely flung off the rails before he even had a chance to implement it. And now, he was faced with so many powerful human beings. He had to escape; only then would he have an opportunity to devour more life energy to replenish himself and reopen the planar passageway.

This world was truly terrifying.

At this point in time, Arba only had one thought in his mind: “I want to go home…”

……

At the Sea God’s Lake.

The area surrounding the Sea God’s Lake had become a massive construction site, and it was now a very lively and bustling area under the concealment of the anti-surveillance soul devices.

The first three main school buildings had already been constructed, and the speed at which construction had been completed definitely set a record on the Douluo Continent for projects of this scale.

From here onward, the construction would expand in a ring shape around the Sea God’s Lake, and this was a massive project that would undoubtedly take a very long time to complete.

Following Shrek Academy’s stunning display at the joust for a spouse event, more and more resources were pouring in from all sides. The four Limit Douluos of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy had instilled bystanders with a lot of confidence.

In reality, the existence of the neutral Shrek Academy had been a good thing for many people. At the very least, the academy was a safe haven that was devoid of conflict.

As such, both the Dove Faction and neutral faction were very supportive of the Shrek Academy rebuild, and unless the Spirit Pagoda could get their hands on more 12th-grade soul missiles, there was nothing they could do to prevent this rebuild.

Having already completed construction on the basic learning facilities, the new Shrek Academy was going to commence its first enrolment in three months. All of the preparatory work was progressing quickly, but there were still some problems plaguing the academy’s rebuild, the most troubling of which was the radiation in the Sea God’s Lake.

Due to the radiation, there was no life in the Sea God’s Lake, and the clear lake water was completely barren and desolate; this was not the Sea God’s Lake that people wanted to see!

At the same time, protective formations had been activated at all times to prevent the buildings and people around the lake from being affected by the radiation, but this required an enormous expenditure of energy over time.

The new Shrek Academy was receiving support from all sides, particularly from the Tang Sect, but the energy required to maintain the protective formations were simply far too massive, and the Tang Sect was technically still a treasonous organization, so its resources would eventually run out.

The other major issue was the lack of teachers. All of the inner court disciples had been automatically promoted to become teachers, but that still wasn’t enough. Without a sufficient supply of good teachers, how could Shrek Academy reclaim its title as the number one academy on the continent?

Even though Shrek Academy still held a very lofty status, there were many things that it was missing that had to be accumulated over time.

As such, even though the Spirit Pagoda really wanted to wipe the academy out of existence, it wasn’t in any hurry as it was certainly not an easy task for Shrek Academy to return to its former glory.

At this moment, there was a group of people gathered around the lake, all of whom were looking in the same direction.

At the forefront of the group were the Vice-Sea God’s Pavilion Masters, Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue and Holy Spirit Douluo Yali.

Behind them stood Ye Xinglan, Xu Lizhi, Xu Xiaoyan, Yue Zhengyu, and all of the disciples of the inner court, including Lan Muzi, who was already a member of the Sea God’s Pavilion.

All of them were appraising the surface of the lake and waiting in silence.

“Elder Long, is this really going to work?” Yali asked in a quiet voice.

Long Yeyue smiled, and replied, “Place your trust in him. I’m sure he wouldn’t make us an empty promise, and he’s the one that’s been chosen by the plane, so he’s more capable than anyone of creating miracles.”

Yali nodded in response. “I should’ve gone with him; I can’t help but worry about him.”

Elder Long chuckled, “What’s there to be worried about? Didn’t you say that there are three Limit Douluos with him right now”

“It’s coming!” Ye Xinglan suddenly said. Her Stargod Sword was extremely sensitive to changes in night sky, and right as her voice trailed off, the sky was suddenly illuminated by a hint of rainbow light.

The rainbow light was very soft to begin with, but gradually brightened and formed a cloud of rainbow light directly above the Sea God’s Lake.

Long Yeyue immediately ordered, “Shut down all of the soul tools aside from the ones being used for anti-surveillance, and instruct all workers to stay in their rooms.”

“Yes, Elder Long!”

All of the buildings had their own protective barriers, so the soul tools being shut down now were the ones that the defensive system around the Sea God’s Lake was comprised of.

The rainbow light grew brighter and brighter, and all of a sudden, a pillar of light plunged down from the heavens and fell directly into the Sea God’s Lake.

Everyone’s hearts jolted upon seeing this, and even Elder Long’s hands had unconsciously balled up into tight fists.

The center of the pillar of light was a streak of dazzling golden light that was filled with life energy, and there was rainbow light revolving around it.

The pillar of light descended into the lake without stirring up any ripples, but the entire Sea God’s Lake was illuminated into a golden color that was extremely spectacular to behold.

All of the onlookers from Shrek Academy were entranced by this glorious sight, and their hearts were shuddering in anticipation.

The pillar of light descended straight to the deepest part of the Sea God’s Lake, where it enveloped a small green plant on the lakebed.

The plant had seven small leaves, and as soon as the pillar of light shone down upon it, it immediately shuddered while releasing a green light barrier with a diameter of around a meter. It then began to absorb the life energy descending upon it in a frenzy, and all of a sudden, the lifeless lakebed was filled with life energy alongside a burst of faint green light that was beginning to proliferate in all directions.

The seed of life shuddered gently, and if anyone were to approach it right now, they would immediately be able to sense its extreme excitement.

Pure life energy was what it lacked the most and also what it yearns for the most.

Once the entire lakebed had been encompassed under a blanket of green light, the seed of life finally sprang into action. Its small branches began to elongate and thicken, while new leaves emerged to herald its growth.

Layers of light radiated outward, and rich life energy was rapidly being absorbed and digested.
