The southern part of the Heaven Dou Empire was adjacent to the Fasno Province. This was where one of the four great kingdoms of the empire, the Balak Kingdom was located.
Although it was called a kingdom, the Balak Kingdom wasn't huge. It was only three-quarters of the Fasano Province, and it belonged to the Heaven Dou Empire.
Fifty years ago, the Heaven Dou Empire had ten great provinces. Following the decline of its hegemony and the influence of the four great kingdoms, six great powers were gradually formed.
Now, the Empire only controlled five great provinces.
The remaining five provinces were occupied by the four great kingdoms, including the Balak Kingdom, and one duchy. Both sides were equally matched.
These five kingdoms were very ambitious. Although they still accepted the rule of the Heaven Dou Empire on the surface, they had already become kingdoms within kingdoms. All their internal affairs were completely autonomous, and they weren't restricted by the empire.
In recent years, these kingdoms had been secretly colluding with each other. Some of them had even colluded with the Star Luo Empire, If not for the empire's powerful military, internal and external troubles would have erupted long ago.
However, even so, the Heaven Dou Empire's hegemony was still declining. If the empire couldn't recover within ten years and return to its peak, a war to overthrow the regime was unavoidable.
… …
Soto City
It was located in the most fertile plains of the Balak Kingdom and was known as the Balak Granary. This was a bustling city that was only inferior to Heaven Dou City. Located in the city was a Class 3 Martial Spirit Main Hall.
From this aspect, one can see how wealthy and powerful Soto City was.
Outside Soto City, there was a dilapidated academy.
Under the scorching sun, a group of youthful and energetic young men and women were running circles around a dilapidated field that was covered in moss.
They were sweating profusely.
"Wah, it's finally over. I can't take it anymore …"
After running for three hours, they were all sweating profusely. They were exhausted, and even the soul power in their bodies had been depleted.
When they heard the order to stop, they didn't care about being reserved anymore. Even the girls sat down on the ground to rest. The boys even lay down and stuck their tongues out. They were panting like dogs.
Under the devilish training of the Grandmaster, this group of young men and women in their prime had been ravaged. Their heads drooped like frosted eggplants, listless. However, the force in their bodies was rapidly increasing.
This group of young men and women were only twelve or thirteen years old, but their average soul power rank was as high as Rank 30. Even in the Douluo Continent, they were extremely rare geniuses at this age.
"Brother, can you help me massage my legs?"
A long scorpion braid hung down to her slender waist.
She wore a short pink skirt and long white stockings. She was a cute and beautiful young lady. She acted coquettishly towards the ordinary young man beside her.
Her timid voice was mixed with a hint of charm.
As she spoke, her long and slender legs were already resting on the young man's knees.
"Ah … is it here?"
The young man stared blankly for a moment. His palm had just touched that pair of soft and smooth long legs when he immediately sensed several gazes shooting over. He couldn't help but let out a dry cough, looking a little embarrassed.
Even though Tang San and Xiao Wu had always referred to each other as brother and sister and had a very good relationship, under the gazes of everyone present, their slightly ambiguous actions immediately attracted countless gazes that harbored ill intentions.
"Xiao Wu, let's find a place with no one around later."
"Bleh ~ bleh ~"
Xiao Wu naturally sensed the ambiguous atmosphere in the air. She playfully stuck out her tongue and quickly retracted her legs. She buried her red cheeks between her knees and looked a little embarrassed.
"Aiyo! Third Brother, you guys continue. We didn't see anything. We didn't see anything "Ma Hongjun squinted his eyes and laughed.
"Yes, yes, yes. My eyesight hasn't been perfect recently. It's probably because I'm too tired from training. My eyes are a little blurry. I can't see things that I shouldn't see"
Oscar made a solemn vow, but the teasing expression on his handsome face betrayed his true thoughts.
"Haha …"
Everyone burst into laughter.
"Zhuqing, are you tired? Do you want me to help you massage your legs? Or massage your shoulders? " Dai Mubai's long golden hair fell over his shoulders. His strange eyes shone brightly as he walked towards the cold and indifferent girl.
Different from those immature young girls, this indifferent young girl looked even younger, but her figure was abnormally hot. She had a voluptuous chest, a perfectly round and perky butt, and a small waist that could be held with one arm. It was simply a devilish figure. Just one look was enough to make one's blood boil.
"Hmph, go away"
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Dai Mubai indifferently. He didn't even acknowledge him. His gaze was fixed on the forest in the distance. His figure became more and more lonely and indifferent.
"Uh …"
Dai Mubai rubbed his nose. He looked a little embarrassed. He took the initiative to please the girl, but he hit a wall. He felt bitter.
"Wah! Dai Mubai hit a wall, So lame"Ma Hongjun didn't mind making a big deal out of it.
"Haha, I didn't expect that Dai Mubai, a veteran in love, would have a day like this. Karma" Oscar joined in the fun.
"You two have been itching for a beating recently. It seems that I need to loosen your muscles. Stop right there and don't run"
Three black lines appeared on Dai Mubai's forehead. He bared his fangs and brandished his claws as he pounced on the two. The three of them started to chase and play on the field.
Their laughter resounded throughout the Shrek Academy.
"You guys are a bunch of party poopers. Why are you disturbing people's love life? Look at Tang San and Xiao Wu. How enviable"
A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl swayed her black waterfall-like hair. Her delicate cheeks outlined a sly smile. She was wearing a long aqua-blue dress and white boots. She was smart and elegant. Her eyes were lively and beautiful like a little fairy.
"Rongrong, don't talk nonsense. Xiao Wu and I are brother and sister" Tang San tried to correct her.
"I know, I know. Brother in love and sister in love …" Ning Rongrong covered her mouth and snickered.
The group of people joined in the fun, making Tang San and Xiao Wu blush.
At this time, Oscar ran to Ning Rongrong's side with a grin and said excitedly, "Rongrong, are you envious of Tang San and Xiao Wu's love life? Why don't you find a suitable partner for yourself? What do you think of me? I'm handsome and elegant. I'm simply a male god"
"Haha"
Ning Rongrong spread her hands and sighed. "Xiao Ao, don't overthink. We're two support-type Soul Masters. There's no chance …"
As soon as this sentence came out, it was a huge blow to Oscar. However, before he could feel disappointed, he suddenly noticed a hint of sadness on Ning Rongrong's beautiful face.
"Rongrong, why do you look so unhappy? Did something happen?" Oscar asked.
"Tell us what happened. We'll share your worries …"
Tang San also noticed Ning Rongrong's abnormality. "What's the matter, Rongrong?"
Everyone looked at the girl with some worry.
After a moment of silence, Ning Rongrong's small hand uneasily grabbed the corner of her skirt and growled,
"Not long ago, my father arranged a marriage for me …"
