644 – Dragon King Square
TL : GoldenLung
The statue was over 20 meters tall, and its golden wings were especially eye-catching.
The person enshrined here was a former Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy and also the Tang Sect Master of that generation. He was one of the most important figures in Shrek Academy’s history.
More than 10,000 years ago, Shrek Academy was once destroyed by the most terrifying weapon at that time, the Godkiller-rank fixed soul ammunition. That was also the darkest moment in Shrek Academy’s history.
But after that, the people of Shrek did not disappear. It was the statue before him that led the remaining Shrek survivors to rebuild Shrek Academy and reconstruct the Sea God’s Island. Even the revival of the Eternal Tree was completed with his hard work.
This resulted in the current Shrek City, which was many times larger than the original Shrek City. It was then that the Eternal Tree and the evolution of Eternal Sky City and Douluo Planet occured.
To Shrek Academy, he might very well be the most important person ever. And to the Tang Sect, he was the most important person besides the founder of the Tang Sect, Tang San.
He was once a powerhouse of his generation. He wore a Four-Word Battle Armor, the Golden Dragon Moon Song, the pride of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect. He was the only one who controlled both forces at the same time, the Dragon Emperor Douluo Tang Wulin. Hence, this place was also known as Shrek Dragon King Square. It was established to commemorate him.
Many historians said that it was Tang Wulin’s era. Under his glory, both the Spirit Pagoda and the War God Temple looked dim.
There were even rumors that he was the son of the first generation founder of the Tang Sect, Tang San. He had descended to the Douluo Continent 20,000 years later just to save the Douluo Continent. It was also him who led that generation of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect’s powerhouses to defeat the invading Abyssal Plane and turned it into nutrients for the Eternal Tree, allowing the Douluo Planet to evolve and produce a god-rank powerhouse.
In that era, Four-Word Battle Armors were already the limit. According to historians, Tang Wulin should have been a powerhouse of over 110 rank. Even now, he was still a peak existence.
But there weren’t many records of why he disappeared in the end. It was said to be a secret at that time. After being sealed by the federal government, it was gradually lost over thousands of years. Only Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, and the Federation’s top secret departments kept it.
Shrek Dragon King Square was established to commemorate this almighty being who had rebuilt Shrek Academy. This was his honor, just like the statues of the ancestors of Shrek Academy. Only those who made the most outstanding contributions to Shrek Academy were qualified to be commemorated.
And today, the Dragon King Square was especially lively. Far away from this gigantic statue was a temporary platform that was surrounded by a large number of lights and sound equipment.
The law enforcement team of Shrek City had already begun maintaining order around the Dragon King Square. This law enforcement team was not affiliated with the Federation but belonged to Shrek. It was formed by the alliance of Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, and various large forces. There were not many people, but they were definitely strong.
The standard six-meter high enforcement team standard mechas were all purple mechas. At this moment, they were lined up around the plaza and had a great deterrent effect on order.
The news of Mr Le coming to Shrek City to perform had long spread throughout Shrek City. Lan Xuanyu then realized that it was because he was on vacation.
And this performance was a public service performance. Mr Le’s management company was completely exempted, and it was also completely publicized. That was why they were performing in the plaza.
In fact, the number of singers who could sing in Shrek City could be counted on one hand, and no one had ever dared to sell tickets here. Shrek City, which had the Eternal Tree, might not be the Federation’s capital, but it was a symbol of the Federation’s spirit. It was the most mysterious place and the holy land that the citizens of the Federation yearned for. Being able to perform here was already a great honor. There was no doubt that Mr Le’s invitation this time had almost established his position in the Federation’s music industry.
Two hours before the concert, the Dragon King Square was already packed with people. Only the innermost circle had seats reserved for the big shots. There were only 1,000 seats, and they surrounded the stage.
Everyone was looking forward to Mr Le’s arrival. There were only a few songs from Mr Le, but they were all already very familiar with his songs. But strangely, no one had ever been able to sing his songs.
Seeing that it was getting closer to the start, the sky gradually darkened. Just then, a group of people walked through the special passage and entered the seating area.
They were all dressed in green uniforms, a familiar green color, and it was obvious that they were young. However, their seats were slightly to the left in the middle, which was an excellent spot.
Many well-known figures already had their own positions. To be considered a famous figure in Shrek City meant that they were from various large forces and families.
There were also some hidden clans that had migrated all their people to Shrek City.
“Well done, Shrek Academy! They’re Outer Court disciples, right? Why can they actually occupy such a good spot,” someone sitting at the back muttered.
“I don’t think that area was arranged for Shrek Academy. It seems to be reserved by the concert agency. I don’t know why, but it was also reserved for Shrek Academy.”
These people dressed in green uniforms were naturally Lan Xuanyu and his classmates. All 31 students were present.
They were about to go on a mission and didn’t want to miss out on this rare opportunity to relax. Some of them were even watching a concert for the first time.
Lan Xuanyu looked at the empty stage excitedly and clenched his fists subconsciously.
Bai Xiuxiu sat next to him. She rarely saw Lan Xuanyu in this state because Lan Xuanyu rarely looked forward to something.
It was only when he was waiting for Teacher Nana at the airport and picking up his parents that he would occasionally reveal such a teen-like emotion.
“Do you like listening to his songs?” Bai Xiuxiu whispered.
Lan Xuanyu nodded. “That’s right! Uncle Le sings really well and I’m very familiar with him. He was the one who gave us the tickets.”
Bai Xiuxiu said, “I’ve heard you mention him before but this is the first time I’m seeing him.” She felt that Lan Xuanyu seemed to like this singer a lot and this was quite unexpected.
The others were also whispering to one another. Xiao Qi was in full agreement with them for coming to the concert. This was also the last time they could relax before they set off to complete the difficult missions.
At this moment, the seats were gradually being filled, but Lan Xuanyu noticed that the seat in the middle of the front row was empty.
He even saw a familiar figure in the front row, right in front of them. Wasn’t the person in the first row Pavilion Master Wang? Pavilion Master Wang actually came to listen to the concert too. He was a god-rank powerhouse! Did a god-rank powerhouse listen to music too? This gave Lan Xuanyu a strange feeling.
As the sky darkened, the lights on the stage lit up. The dazzling lights were mainly white and silver, and the Dragon King Square in the distance was decorated with lights that complemented the lights on the stage. It was as if the entire Dragon King Square had been set up as a huge concert hall.
Mr Le’s management company was undoubtedly very experienced in this aspect and the atmosphere was extremely enthusiastic. Under the control of Shrek City’s law enforcement team, although there were many people in the plaza, it was orderly.
