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

Chapter 205 Shrek: Has Elder Xuan brought another dead person?

Shrek Academy, at the main gate.

There were only five people in front of the main gate. Standing at the front were Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, and Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department.

Following them are Cai Meier and Qian Duoduo, the vice deans of two departments, and Fan Yu, a future vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department.

They all looked up at the distant sky, waiting quietly.

They came to welcome the heroes returning from the competition.

Soon, streaks of black dots streaked across the sky, and Yan Shaozhe smiled slightly: "They're back!"

Xianlin'er also took a step forward, her face showing obvious excitement.

"Something's not right, are there fewer people?" Qian Duoduo muttered, feeling that the number of black dots seemed a bit off.

Several people felt a sudden jolt in their hearts.

"Could it be that Elder Xuan... has brought someone dead again?" Cai Meier asked worriedly.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Yan Shaozhe immediately retorted, "There's no inspector mission this time, how could Elder Xuan bring dead people? Unless..."

“Unless they died during the competition,” Xian Lin’er interjected, anger flashing across her face. “How dare someone kill one of our students during the Soul Fighting Tournament?”

"Hmph! Whoever killed our student must pay the price!"

Just as the deans were filled with righteous indignation, the black spots slowly fell down.

The first thing that caught their eye was Xuanzi, who was dressed like a beggar, followed by Wang Yan and the three... no, two disciples from the inner courtyard!
One is missing?

Then came the three reserve team members and several outer court disciples.

For a moment, the group was overcome with grief.

So many students died from participating in a single competition?
Seeing the slightly sorrowful expressions on their faces, Xuanzi frowned and shouted, "What are you doing? Who are you mourning for?"

"Elder Xuan, rest assured, we will make those murderers pay for the deaths of our students!" Yan Shaozhe said with a sob.

Xuanzi's face darkened. How long has it been since the Death Messenger incident? Why are they still bringing it up?
Immediately afterwards, Xuanzi's expression changed drastically. Could it be that Chen Zifeng and the others had encountered another accident and could not be saved?

"Damn it!" Xuanzi roared, "They couldn't save him?!"

When Cai Meier and Xian Lin'er heard Xuanzi's anger, they finally couldn't hold back their tears. It turned out that those students had really been killed by Elder Xuan in the Soul Fighting Tournament!
Fan Yu, who was at the very back, also stared wide-eyed and staggered a bit. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that He Caitou was still in the group.

Thankfully, his most prized disciple did not die in the Soul Fighting Tournament.

"Kids, you've worked hard!" Yan Shaozhe strode over and looked at the few remaining students.

Ling Luochen from the Inner Court is gone. Among the new generation of Shrek Seven Devils, Jiang Nannan, who was hailed as the most beautiful woman in the Outer Court, is gone, as is Huo Yuhao. However, the two of them are the least important.

Xiao Xiao, who possesses the mutated martial soul Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, is not here, and... Wang Dong'er is also not here?!

Yan Shaozhe was greatly alarmed. Wang Dong'er's identity... she couldn't afford to die!

Although I can't die at Shrek Academy, I also can't die in the Soul Fighting Tournament representing Shrek Academy!

With this thought in mind, Yan Shaozhe looked at Xuanzi and asked, trembling, "Elder Xuan, Wang Dong'er, she actually died in the Soul Battle Tournament too?" "What?" Xuanzi was stunned. "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by 'died'?"

Yan Shaozhe was also stunned, and quickly asked, "Weren't the remaining students killed in the competition?"

Xuanzi retorted irritably, "With me here, how could they possibly die in the competition? Do you think I'm just for show?"

"Uh...no, no." Yan Shaozhe chuckled awkwardly, not daring to refute.

"Hmph, Wang Dong'er... I'd love for her to die on the competition stage!" Xuanzi sneered.

"Then what exactly happened? How come so many students are missing?" Xian Lin'er asked.

Before Xuanzi could answer, Beibei blurted out, "Those people have forgotten the academy's kindness and the principle of repaying kindness! They actually withdrew from Shrek Academy on the eve of the finals!"

Xu Sanshi nodded vigorously: "Yes, even Ling Luochen was deceived by Wang Dong'er and withdrew from our Shrek Academy. It's a shame she was a senior student in the inner academy before!"

"What? Quit Shrek Academy? That's outrageous!" Yan Shaozhe wanted to slam his fist on the table in anger, but there was no table to withstand his rage, so he could only give up in frustration.

"How dare they! Who gave them the audacity to withdraw from the academy during the competition!" Cai Meier glared.

The students from the outer academy kept their eyes down, restrained by the prestige of Shrek Academy. They dared not drop out on the spot, and even if they returned now, they would not dare to do so.

But after graduation, they must leave Shrek Academy.

Fortunately, they have only been out of school for two or three years. In such a short time, surely nothing else can go wrong?

"Alright, alright, let's talk about these things later. Xiao Tao and Xiao Dai almost caused trouble this time. Let's hold a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion to discuss it first," Xuanzi said, waving his hand.

Yan Shaozhe immediately said to the other students from the outer academy, "Go back to your classes. Remember, no matter what happens during the competition, you are not allowed to tell anyone! Otherwise..."

As he spoke, Yan Shaozhe narrowed his eyes, his imposing aura instantly receding.

Several students from the outer academy nodded quickly to indicate that they understood, bowed, and immediately entered the academy, afraid of being a step too late.

After the outer court students left, Yan Shaozhe and the others looked at Wang Yan, the remaining two inner court disciples, and Bei Bei and the other two, and sighed.

"Come with us, the academy has prepared rewards for you."

"A reward?" Beibei looked up abruptly. "But...but we failed to protect Shrek's honor, we failed to win first place in the competition..."

“None of that matters.” Yan Shaozhe forced a smile. “What matters is that you fought for the academy and brought glory to it! We prepared this reward from the very beginning, and it will be given to you no matter what ranking you achieve.”

As they spoke, the group arrived at the shore of Poseidon Lake.

"Your rewards will be distributed at the Sea God Pavilion on Sea God Island."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng were both taken aback.

As inner court disciples, they knew of the existence of the Sea God Pavilion, but it was precisely because they knew that they could realize what an honor it was to enter the Sea God Pavilion and receive a reward.

Apart from the elders of the Sea God Pavilion and the four deans of the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department, no one else is allowed to enter the Sea God Pavilion. Even senior teachers with a background like Wang Yan, or teachers from the inner academy, are not qualified.

Several small boats were moored on the shore of Poseidon Lake. Yan Shaozhe led everyone directly onto the boats, passed through the thick mist, and finally arrived at the hidden Poseidon Island.
