Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 126 Xuanzi's Tears

Inside the cave, Wang Yan recounted the current state of the trainees' casualties, his tone tinged with sorrow.

"Xixi's internal injuries are relatively minor. Her back was severely injured by the explosion and she was also infected with corpse poison. I temporarily stabilized her condition with an antidote."

"If they use the academy's healing pills, Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and Ling Luochen will recover in about half a month, while Chen Zifeng will take longer."

"In addition... there were also some casualties among the students from the outer academy."

Finally, Wang Yan glanced at Wang Dong'er and said, "If it weren't for Wang Dong'er leading the cleanup of the bodies and Huo Yuhao's timely reminder, the casualties in the outer courtyard would probably have been even greater."

Then, Wang Yan asked Xuanzi, "Elder Xuan, that Death Messenger didn't escape, did he?"

"That evil spirit master was reduced to ashes by this little girl."

Upon hearing Xuanzi's words, Wang Yan's eyes showed a slight surprise, but he quickly calmed down.

For a genius like Wang Dong'er, killing a useless Soul King is really not a difficult task.

What makes this Death Messenger so troublesome is his ability to control corpse explosions. If he didn't have this ability, how could he have severely injured the elites of Shrek Academy?

"Crushed to ashes, good, excellent. This can be considered revenge for Yao Haoxuan." Wang Yan clenched his fist tightly.

The deceased students from the outer academy: Don't we deserve to have names?
Xuanzi said in a deep voice, "Wang Yan, next, I will entrust you with an important task."

"Elder Xuan, if you say so, I will do my best to fulfill it."

Xuanzi took a deep breath. "Now, take the remaining students and return to Duke Baihu's camp immediately. First, stabilize Xiaotao and the others' injuries, and then head to Xingluo City to participate in the Soul Fighting Tournament."

“Gongyang Mo, Chen Zifeng, Xixi, and those injured students from other academies, I will take them back to the academy for treatment.”

Then, Xuanzi reached out and beckoned to the three unconscious Gongyang Mo, and a white halo formed a large cocoon that protected them.

On the other side, several outer court students were also wrapped up by Xuanzi in the same way. In addition to the core disciples of the third and fourth years, there were also Xie Huanyue, Dai Huabin, and Zhu Lu.

Relying on his strength as the strongest among the second-year students who had removed Wang Dong'er, and with his Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Dai Huabin directly transformed into the Netherworld White Tiger with Zhu Lu, and charged into the battlefield with the defensive-type Xie Huanyue and the third and fourth-year students.

The result was obvious; they were also affected by the explosion.

Cao Jinxuan and Zhou Sichen were lucky because their martial souls didn't require them to be in the front, and they were behind Wang Dong'er's group when the corpse explosion started, so they didn't suffer any injuries.

The two were still a little scared. Zhou Sichen nudged Cao Jinxuan and whispered, "Old Cao, why did you think of following Wang Dong'er? If you hadn't held me back, I'm afraid I would have gotten hurt too."

Cao Jinxuan also looked terrified and said, "I didn't expect Wang Dong'er to be so cautious. Wu Feng and Ning Tian were also with Wang Dong'er. And Dai Huabin wouldn't let Xie Huanyue protect us. Where could we go?"

"Ha, that's true." Zhou Sichen scratched his head awkwardly.

At this moment, Xuanzi's voice rang out again, his eyes now filled with tears.

“This incident is entirely my responsibility. It’s too late to find new team members from the academy to participate in the Soul Fighting Tournament. Beibei, the only way now is for your reserve team to step up and hold on until Xiaotao and the others recover from their injuries.”

"Children, the honor of victory belongs to you, and the shame of defeat belongs only to me." Xuanzi took a deep breath and said in a solemn voice, "The honor of Shrek Academy can now only be defended by you!"

"I have another way that will allow the academy to stop worrying about victory or defeat and to treat the students as quickly as possible."

The clear, bell-like sound drew the attention of everyone present.

"Wang Dong'er, what are your thoughts? Speak quickly!" Seeing that it was Wang Dong'er who made the suggestion, Xuanzi had no doubts and quickly asked.

"Shrek Academy forfeits the competition," Wang Dong'er said slowly.

"What?!" Xuanzi and Wang Yan exclaimed at the same time.

Ma Xiaotao and Bei Bei also frowned. They had the deepest feelings for Shrek Academy, and had even grown up there. Wang Dong'er's suggestion was undoubtedly unacceptable to them.

“Wang Dong’er, Shrek Academy will never give up the competition so easily!” Xuanzi said in a deep voice, “This is not just a matter of Shrek Academy’s honor, but also…”

"Elder Xuan, do you mean that Shrek Academy's honor is more important than the safety of its students? Especially after such a serious disaster?" Wang Dong'er interrupted Xuanzi directly, her repeated questioning leaving the already regretful Xuanzi speechless for a moment.

While the casualties among the students are heartbreaking, Shrek Academy has inherited its glory and splendor for ten thousand years and has never missed a Soul Battle Tournament.

In all his years at Shrek Academy, he had never seen the academy tarnish its reputation.

Moreover, the Soul Fighting Tournament now holds extraordinary significance for Shrek Academy, and it absolutely cannot be given up easily.

"Now that Gongyang Mo and the others are in grave danger, I will not argue with you. You will be grateful if you can reduce that Death Messenger to ashes, but this matter has nothing to do with the Soul Fighting Tournament."

"As I said, victory and honor are yours, but defeat and shame will only be mine."

Before Wang Dong'er could respond, Xuanzi had already rushed out of the cave with the two large cocoons wrapped around him, and released his flying soul tool to rush towards Shrek Academy at high speed.

“Wang Dong’er, I know you’re worried about your classmates, but the academy has reasons for having to participate in the Soul Fighting Tournament,” Wang Yan sighed. “The most urgent thing now is to return to the military camp and get some rest.”

"Whatever happens, we'll talk about it later."

After saying that, Wang Yan clapped his hands. "Now everyone listen to me. This time we were limited by insufficient intelligence and could not have predicted this situation. Elder Xuan has already returned to Shrek Academy with the seriously injured students, but we are not ready yet."

"What I want to say is that this kind of situation will not be the only one in the process of carrying out inspection missions. All we can do is learn from the lessons and survive the crises of blood and fire time and time again."

"Now, everyone follow me back to the Central Army Corps camp to rest!"

After saying that, Wang Yan took the lead and walked out of the cave, with Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and Ling Luochen following silently.

Next came the reserve team and the core disciples of the outer academy.

Wang Dong'er deliberately fell to the very back, citing the reason of covering the rear.
