However, there were always those who weren't afraid of death. A few people actually surged forward, wanting a closer look at the upcoming battle.
"Enough," a voice roared, filled with both anger and authority.
Everyone looked toward the source of the voice and saw that the speaker was none other than Emperor Xu Jiawei of Star Luo.
"This is Star Luo City. This is the Soul Master Tournament. Victory is determined by one's own abilities, do you all understand?" Xu Jiawei's gaze swept over Du Busi, finally settling on Xuanzi.
Du Busi shrugged, speaking languidly, "Your Majesty is right. This old man naturally won't stir up trouble, but I can't tolerate certain shameless old geezers bullying my little disciple, either."
Xu Jiawei nodded slightly. Normally, he wouldn't care how these two fought, and would even be happy to see it. After all, the Body Sect and Shrek Academy were both powers comparable to the Star Luo Empire. It would be best if they fought each other.
But this was Star Luo City. To start a fight here was equivalent to slapping the Star Luo Empire in the face, slapping his Xu Jiawei in the face. Not to mention, there were so many civilians around.
"Taotie Douluo, what do you mean?" Du Busi's attitude was still friendly, so Xu Jiawei turned his gaze towards Xuanzi.
"Your Majesty is right, it was this old man's blunder." This time, Xuanzi finally calmed down. Although he didn't really take Xu Jiawei, the Emperor of Star Luo, seriously, Shrek Academy couldn't openly challenge the nation.
Hearing this, Xu Jiawei's expression softened and he said, "Your generous understanding is greatly appreciated, I am very pleased. Please, everyone, rest for a bit. The arena needs to be repaired."
From start to finish, Xu Jiawei didn't mention the matter of Ma Xiaotao, the evil Soul Master. He knew that with Shrek Academy's overbearing attitude, they would never hand her over.
Moreover, letting Xuanzi take Ma Xiaotao back to Shrek Academy was the best outcome, giving Xu Jiawei more room to make use of the situation.
The number one academy on the continent, Shrek Academy, protecting an evil Soul Master – this topic should interest a lot of people, right? Of course, this could only be done in secret.
No, soon Shrek Academy wouldn't be the number one academy on the continent.
Because the arena was destroyed and needed urgent repairs, the competition was temporarily suspended. Shrek Academy and the Body Sect teams returned to their respective preparation areas to wait.
"Master, thank you so much this time. Luckily you came in time, or your disciple here would have kicked the bucket just now?" Huo Yuhao spoke to Du Busi as they returned to the waiting area.
Du Busi glanced at his disciple, then slapped the back of Huo Yuhao's head, saying with a displeased tone, "You little rascal, now you know fear? Weren't you acting tough just now?"
Huo Yuhao stumbled from the slap, regained his footing, and then said, "Master, please leave me some face in front of others." His tone was a bit resentful.
"Ahem." Du Busi also realized it was inappropriate; countless eyes were watching them.
Lin Kong, Xiang Wuqing, and the others were secretly chuckling. This was the first time they'd seen their young master embarrassed. Compared to the aloof young sect master, the current Huo Yuhao felt more approachable, like a person they could get along with.
It wasn't that Huo Yuhao was hard to get along with, but they always felt a sense of distance in their interactions with him. In their minds, Du Busi was the second person Huo Yuhao cared about, with Ye Lingling being the first.
"Don't I know how those guys from Shrek Academy operate? They've killed plenty of people in past competitions, and it's always them killing others. If their people get hurt, hehe. Even if you didn't say anything, I was going to come this time anyway." Du Busi steered the conversation back to Shrek.
He had actually watched the entire match just now, though no one had noticed him. From the match, Du Busi could see that Huo Yuhao had shown mercy to Shrek, or perhaps to his former classmates.
Therefore, Du Busi wanted his disciple to see the true face of Shrek.
Huo Yuhao felt a little strange. Actually, the Body Sect isn't any better, he thought. It's just that compared to Shrek, they're more hypocritical. But his master didn't seem like the type to talk so much. Huo Yuhao, being Huo Yuhao, quickly understood Du Busi's intentions. After figuring it out, Huo Yuhao smiled slightly at Du Busi, "Master, for our future development, we need to be more restrained in our actions, especially during the Soul Master Tournament. We can't give others the impression that we are cruel and bloodthirsty."
"Shrek can be reckless because of their reputation built up over ten thousand years, but we can't. Especially since the sect's reputation in the Soul Master world isn't very good."
Du Busi just nodded silently, saying nothing. What could he say? Agree with Huo Yuhao? Wouldn't that be admitting that he, as the sect master, wasn't doing his job?
On the other side, Xuanzi brought Ma Xiaotao to the preparation area. Dai Yaoheng, Beibei, Wang Dong, and the others hurried forward to ask how she was doing.
"Xiaotao, what was that earlier?"
"Senior Sister Ma, how are you feeling now?"
Facing everyone's concern, Ma Xiaotao could only force a smile, "Don't worry, everyone. With Old Xuan here, nothing can happen to me."
Hearing this, everyone finally relaxed. That's right, with Old Xuan here, what can't be solved?
If they can't solve it, they'll just send it away! Ling Luochen lowered her head, not saying a word. The recent events had gradually woken her up from the so-called glory painted by Shrek!
Xuanzi was silent. He was only good at fighting. He had no idea how to deal with this Martial Soul mutation. If it was as Ma Xiaotao said, the latter wouldn't have waited until now.
Wang Yan seemed to think of something and quickly went to Xuanzi's side, asking anxiously, "Xuan Lao, as far as I know, your Martial Soul is Taotie, which should be earth-attribute. Do you have a way to help them quickly restore the arena?"
Saying this, Wang Yan pointed at the dozen or so Soul Masters who were busy repairing the collapsed competition platform.
Beibei's eyes lit up when he heard Wang Yan's words, and he instantly understood what Teacher Wang was planning.
"Yes, what are you planning?" Xuan Lao's mind wasn't very sharp, and he didn't understand why Wang Yan wanted him to help. Shouldn't that be something the Star Luo Empire should consider?
"Although Huo Yuhao is strong in combat, he is, after all, only a Soul Ancestor, and he has fought several matches in a row. It seems that his soul power is not enough. We must make the competition start quickly and not give Huo Yuhao time to recover his soul power…"
Wang Yan didn't continue, but everyone understood his meaning.
"Sigh, alright." Xuanzi sighed. In fact, he had already given up hope for the outcome of this competition. Now he just hoped not to lose too badly.
Thinking of this, Xuanzi soared into the air and flew above the arena. He stretched out his withered hands, and with a wave of his hand, a yellowish-brown halo sprinkled down from his body. After the yellowish-brown halo landed on the arena, the shattered stones and rubble that had collapsed began to merge at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just two or three breaths, the arena had been restored to its original state.
I have no choice but to say, as a Title Douluo, Xuanzi is a pretty good construction worker!
