What Star Shattering Douluo said sounded like he was treating Jing Hongchen and Xuanzi equally, but everyone knew he was specifically targeting Xuanzi.
Could the second-in-command of Shrek Academy, the Taotie Douluo with a soul power of ninety-eight, be threatened by Star Shattering Douluo, who was only at ninety-five, barely crossing the threshold of a Super Douluo?
In his Martial Soul True Body form, Xuanzi let out a cold laugh and said in a deep voice, "Then come! Let this old man see if you're qualified to say such things in front of me! Just you, daring to point fingers at me?"
To be honest, even with the best temper, being looked down upon like this by Xuanzi was absolutely unbearable.
Not to mention that Star Shattering Douluo and Giant Hammer Douluo, as the Star Luo Empire's honored guests, held extremely high positions and were deeply respected by everyone.
Jing Hongchen's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery. He truly didn't understand what Mu En was thinking, actually trying to rely on Xuanzi to carry the banner of Shrek after his death. Wasn't Mu En afraid that Xuanzi would lead Shrek to its demise right after he died?
Originally, Jing Hongchen alone could suppress this Taotie Divine Ox. Now, with the addition of Star Shattering Douluo and Giant Hammer Douluo, it didn't take much effort to completely defeat Xuanzi.
Star Shattering Douluo looked at Xuanzi, who had dispelled his Martial Soul True Body, his chest heaving with heavy breaths, his face also looking somewhat ferocious and distorted, and said coldly, "The Star Luo Empire and Shrek Academy have always maintained a very good relationship, not because of you, but because of Old Mu! If you continue to act wantonly in Star Luo City, we won't hold back any longer!"
"And another thing! Remember, flying is forbidden in Star Luo City! If you violate the rules of Star Luo City again, you will bear the consequences!"
After saying this, without even glancing at Xuan Zi, he followed Giant Hammer Douluo towards Star Luo City.
Jing Hongchen looked at Xuan Zi, his eyes flickering. He was considering whether he had a chance to cripple Xuan Zi, or even kill him outright.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before being dismissed.
Huo Yuhao's plan wasn't complete yet, and Shrek Academy hadn't been disgraced. If he acted against Xuan Zi now, it would only ruin Huo Yuhao's subsequent plans.
Whether Xuan Zi lived or died wasn't that important. What mattered was to make Shrek fall from grace completely.
Thinking of this, Jing Hongchen deliberately provoked Xuan Zi.
"Tsk tsk, Xuan Zi, Xuan Zi, it seems that your Shrek is really becoming more and more unpopular. Even the Star Luo Empire, which is a sworn enemy of our Sun Moon Empire, has chosen to join hands with me to deal with you. What do you make of that?"
"After the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy wins the championship at this Soul Master Tournament, your Shrek Academy probably won't be worth much in the eyes of those people from the original Douluo three countries, will it?"
Before Xuanzi could say anything, Jing Hongchen left with a loud laugh.
Only Xuanzi was left there, seething with impotent rage.
After venting his anger and leaving the scene in a state of utter devastation, Xuanzi glared with his bloodshot eyes and growled in a hoarse voice,
"You damned bastards!"
"Absolutely not! Absolutely no one is allowed to take the championship that should belong to us, Shrek! No matter the cost, we must win the championship!"
Jing Hongchen's words, designed to sow discord, had ultimately had some effect.
Xuanzi finally realized there was a problem, but it wasn't with him; it was with the Star Luo Empire! The fact that those two from the Star Luo Empire had joined forces with Jing Hongchen to deal with him was something Xuanzi could not tolerate under any circumstances.
Also, Jing Hongchen's words, along with Zhang Lexuan and Ling Luochen's betrayal of Shrek, were beyond Xuanzi's control. He had to ask Old Mu for help!
While seeking help from Old Mu, he also had to ensure that Shrek won this Soul Master Tournament. They absolutely couldn't let those guys from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy steal the glory that should have belonged to Shrek!
After making his decision, Xuanzi immediately rushed towards Star Luo City. However, remembering the warning from the Star Shattering Douluo, Xuanzi's lips twitched slightly. After a moment of hesitation, he ultimately chose to walk, not wanting to violate the rule against flying in Star Luo City again.
However, this made Xuanzi feel greatly humiliated. When had the Taotie Douluo, the second-in-command of Shrek, ever been bound by the rules of another place?
By the time Xuanzi arrived at the Soul Master Tournament arena, Shrek's match had already ended. Unsurprisingly, they had defeated Yunluo Academy and emerged victorious.
But through these two matches, everyone had thoroughly understood the current situation of Shrek Academy.
In terms of paper strength, before the injuries of the remaining two main team members had recovered, many mid-to-lower-tier academies had a chance to eliminate Shrek. This made those academies eager to draw Shrek as their opponent.
After all, if they could defeat Shrek, their academy's name would resound throughout the entire Douluo Continent!
Xu Jiawei, on the city wall, watched Xuanzi walk into the arena, a slight smirk playing on his lips, his heart filled with amusement.
After the previous lesson, this guy finally knew what it meant to follow the rules.
Wang Yan looked at Xuanzi's dejected appearance, not caring at all whether he had just been beaten up by Jing Hongchen, and immediately asked.
"Old Xuan, didn't we say we were going to get support from the Inner Court students? Why did only you come back? Didn't you return to Shrek Academy?"
Wang Yan was very anxious.
Although the reserve team could still cope at the moment, things would only get harder later. Even if Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng recovered from their injuries, they might not be able to win the championship.
As the team's teacher, if Shrek lost the Soul Master Tournament championship they had held for ten thousand years, he would be nailed to the pillar of shame!
Facing Wang Yan's question, Xuan Zi's expression was a little ugly.
He still hadn't figured out why Mu En had rejected the proposal to send Inner Court students to reinforce them. Now that Wang Yan had brought it up, he naturally couldn't have a good expression.
"Old Mu said that no reinforcements were needed. He believes that Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, plus the reserve team, will be able to win the championship! So, you shouldn't let Old Mu and the other elders of Poseidon's Pavilion down, right?"
As Xuan Zi's words fell, the expressions of the reserve team members at the scene immediately became very serious, and they were also very excited.
They had heard of Old Mu from Wang Yan and Zhou Yi, and knew that Old Mu was the true strongest person in Shrek.
So, Old Mu and those elders from Poseidon's Pavilion have so much faith in them?
Regardless, they absolutely couldn't let Old Mu and the elders down! No matter the cost, they had to protect Shrek's glory!
Seeing the reactions of these reserve team members, Xuan Zi was somewhat pleased.
He had always watched Old Mu and the others use this method to encourage the younger generation, and now it felt pretty good to use it himself! He, Xuan Zi, would definitely not be weaker than anyone else when it came to protecting Shrek's glory!
Just as Xuan Zi was about to say something, a cheer erupted from the surroundings, as if it would overturn the sky. It caused Xuan Zi and the others from Shrek to involuntarily turn their heads.
What came into view was the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy's seven stunningly beautiful female warriors stepping onto the stage together to participate in the team competition!
