Mu En realized he was wrong, terribly wrong!
He shouldn't have relied on Xuan Zi from the very beginning. With Xuan Zi's mind, he was only fit to be a fighter, not qualified to be the head of the Sea God Pavilion, the true decision-maker of Shrek Academy!
Otherwise, it wouldn't be long before Shrek's reputation as the number one academy on the continent was completely ruined.
It was even possible that, by provoking public anger, Shrek Academy, which had stood on the Douluo Continent for tens of thousands of years, would be disgraced!
Look at what this idiot Xuan Zi did. In front of nearly ten thousand people, he wanted to go to war with the Title Douluo of the Star Luo Empire and Jing Hongchen, completely disregarding the lives of those ordinary people.
Even if Xuan Zi didn't think that way in his heart, his actions had already led everyone to believe that he was such a person!
As the true decision-maker of Shrek, Mu En knew very well that although the forces on the continent appeared to respect Shrek, it was only based on their powerful strength.
In fact, neither the Sun Moon Empire nor the original three Douluo countries could truly be convinced by Shrek! He knew many people were secretly hoping for Shrek's downfall.
What Xuan Zi was doing was no different from digging his own grave.
Mu En took two deep breaths to calm his agitated mood.
"So, Xuan Zi sent you to ask for help, to have me go to Star Luo City, right?"
The man nodded, looking a little embarrassed and scratching his head, feeling awkward for Xuan Zi.
"Elder Xuan, he originally wanted to directly take Zhang Lexuan and Ling Luochen back, but he couldn't defeat Jing Hongchen. Especially since Jing Hongchen joined forces with the Shattered Star Douluo and the Giant Hammer Douluo of the Star Luo Empire, defeating Elder Xuan. That's why he had me rush to the academy at full speed, regardless of everything, to report everything that happened to you. I trouble you to go to Star Luo City."
Yan Shaozhe took the initiative to suggest.
"Teacher, why don't I go? Even if Jing Hongchen's strength is slightly stronger than Elder Xuan's with the enhancement of soul tools, with my help, I can certainly defeat him easily."
Xian Liner, Qian Duoduo, and other elders also volunteered to go to Star Luo City.
They all knew Mu En's physical condition. If possible, it was best not to let Mu En participate in high-intensity battles anymore, as it would only shorten his already limited lifespan.
However, facing their suggestions, Mu En firmly refused.
There was nothing he could do. There wasn't a single person in the Sea God Pavilion who was up to the task.
If he let others handle it, the situation wouldn't just calm down; it would likely become even more complicated.
He, an old man on his last legs, would have to step in personally.
Mu En had placed all his hopes on the younger generation, like Zhang Lexuan and Bei Bei. He couldn't just watch Zhang Lexuan defect to the Sun Moon Empire. He needed to understand what had happened to make Zhang Lexuan, who treated Shrek Academy like her own home, do such a thing.
Mu En slowly stood up, looking at the elders present, and said in a deep voice, "Shrek Academy is in your hands while I'm gone. I'll be back after I'm done, so don't worry about me."
Yan Shaozhe wanted to say something, but Mu En stopped him with a wave of his hand.
"No need to say more. I also want to know what happened that made Lexuan, who has been away from the academy for nearly a year, become the team leader for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy."
"If anyone threatens her, I won't hesitate to let the name of the Dragon God Douluo resound across the continent once more."
Having decided to go in person, Mu En shed his usual composure and displayed the aura of a Limit Douluo.
Feeling the imposing aura emanating from Mu En, the elders felt as if the Dragon God Douluo Mu En, who once ruled the world, had returned. They were immediately filled with a sense of excitement.
Mu En didn't waste any time. After giving instructions regarding Shrek Academy, he flew towards Star Luo City at full speed.
Based on the timeline, the Soul Master Tournament was likely already in the semi-finals, or even the semi-finals might have already concluded, with the final match approaching.
If possible, Mu En hoped to witness this year's Soul Master Tournament himself, to see if Shrek could secure the final championship and maintain their millennia-long glory.
Unfortunately, this time was destined to disappoint Mu En, even to the point of utter despair!
Mu En's prediction was correct. The Soul Master Tournament had indeed reached the stage where the top two teams were being decided.
Shrek Academy, at the cost of several reserve team members being injured, had successfully defeated the Royal Academy of the Heavenly Soul Empire. The match between the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy and the Di Ao Academy of the Heavenly Soul Empire was nearing its end.
Watching the contestants of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy on the field and the figures on the bench, Xuan Zi couldn't hide the longing in his eyes.
Extreme ice, extreme power, control of elements, holy angel, dual martial souls.
What is the concept behind this?
It's no exaggeration to say that once these people fully mature, they will undoubtedly stand at the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent!
Enemies of the same level simply wouldn't be able to defeat them!
How could the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy possibly deserve to have such geniuses?
Even across the entire continent, only Shrek Academy is qualified to teach students like this!
"Zhou Yi, you've done a really good job as a teacher! Two geniuses with dual martial souls, and you expelled them from Shrek Academy just because they contradicted you? Do you know the damage that allowing such geniuses to become part of the Sun Moon Empire will do to the continent?"
Zhou Yi's face was ashen, her mind reeling as she shook her head repeatedly, muttering in denial.
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
"The information clearly stated that they were just ordinary Great Soul Masters, and it never mentioned that they had dual martial souls!"
Zhou Yi was completely distraught.
In this competition, she truly realized how ridiculous her previous statement about Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao being useless was.
She even kept saying that people with their talent were a dime a dozen in Shrek Academy, and that twin martial souls were everywhere in Shrek Academy? What a joke!
Watching Zhou Yi's demeanor, Xuan Zi couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
At the same time, under the attacks of Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena, and the Snow Emperor, their opponents were completely defeated.
Hearing the cheers, Xuan Zi turned to Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and the rest of the reserve team and said in a low voice, "Their strength is indeed not to be underestimated. Even within our Shrek Academy, they are definitely top-tier! However, I have a request: in the upcoming final battle, no matter the cost, you must defeat them!"
In Xuan Zi's opinion, if he wanted to lure Huo Yuhao and those beautiful girls to Shrek, besides using strength to "snatch" them, he also had to let them witness how powerful Shrek's teaching was.
Letting Shrek's students defeat them was, of course, the best way.
He, Xuan Zi, was the mastermind behind Shrek's plan!
