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

Chapter 222 Zhang Lexuan's Heart Knot
Water Moon City.

Zhang Lexuan once told Wang Dong'er about her doubts about things from her childhood.

Not all nobles live in Tiandou City. Zhang Lexuan's family lives in Shuiyue City, and another large family also lives here.

Of course, both families have now been completely wiped out.

Zhang Lexuan came not so much to find the truth of what happened back then, but rather to reminisce about the past and clear her mind.

In Wang Dong'er's view, from a realistic point of view, Shrek Academy has never lacked geniuses, not to mention the special admission route. Logically speaking, there is no need to kill an entire family for a genius, which does not make sense.

However, given that Zhang Lexuan had a "clean" background and was a genius with innate full soul power, and was a girl, and Mu En happened to dote on Bei Bei, he naturally wanted to make a calculation, so he took the opportunity to make those demands.

For Zhang Lexuan, she had no home. Asking Shrek Academy for help with revenge was like "selling herself" to Shrek Academy. Once she left Shrek Academy, she would be a lost soul, not knowing where to go.

After living there for so long, Shrek Academy has become her home.

But the tragedy of her family being wiped out remains a deep-seated problem in her heart.

According to Zhang Lexuan, although her family wasn't very powerful back then, it wasn't weak either. At least compared to that big family, they weren't so weak that not a single person could escape.

Wang Dong'er is more inclined to believe that a powerful enough Soul Master was driving that large family to carry out the massacre, and it is very likely that it was an evil Soul Master.

There's basically no other explanation for a large, inexplicable family suddenly persecuting your own, wiping out the entire clan overnight.

However, Wang Dong'er did not say it directly; Zhang Lexuan needed to calm down and have some peace and quiet.

Walking through the streets, Zhang Lexuan looked at the place where her family used to be. Now, a new family has risen there, and all traces of her memories have completely disappeared.

More than ten years have passed now, and who in this city still remembers the Zhang family from back then?
Things have changed, and the past is like a flower in a mirror or the moon's reflection in water.

Zhang Lexuan suddenly looked at Wang Dong'er.

She had once thought that Wang Dong'er was a fluttering butterfly, while she was just the moon reflected in a well. Now she finally understood that what was reflected in the bright moon in the sky was the past.

The well that trapped her was actually herself.

That impossibly high well wall is Shrek Academy.

If she doesn't want to climb up, how will she know if the well wall is slippery? How will she know what kind of world is outside the well?
The moon in the well saw the butterfly flitting across the well's edge and realized that the bright moon in the sky shone even brighter; that was how it should have looked.

"What's wrong, Sister Lexuan?" Noticing Zhang Lexuan's gaze, Wang Dong'er looked back.

"Wang Dong'er, may I ask you what you plan to do in the near future?" Zhang Lexuan asked.

"What does Sister Lexuan want to do by asking this?"

"I'd like to know your plans for the future and your views on the situation on the mainland."

"I don't have any grand dreams. If I had to say, becoming a god is one of my goals."

"God? Is he going to imitate the original Shrek Seven Devils?" Zhang Lexuan asked curiously.

“It’s not about imitating, it’s about surpassing.” Wang Dong’er shook her head. “I will surpass all of them.”

No one has ever dared to claim they could surpass the original Shrek Seven Devils, and no one has ever dared to aim for godhood, not even the predecessors of Shrek Academy. "Then, what about the Sun Moon Empire? What do you think of them?" Zhang Lexuan asked again.

Since entering the academy, she has been instilled with the idea that the Sun Moon Empire is the enemy, and that everything Shrek Academy does is to prevent the Sun Moon Empire from launching its so-called war of revenge and sweeping across the continent.

The academy refers to the Sun Moon Empire as an alien race, and the relationship only improved when the previous Sun Moon Emperor took the initiative to make good relations with Shrek Academy.

However, with the ascension of this new Sun Moon Emperor, a tense atmosphere has returned between Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Empire.

Mu En once told her that within a hundred years, the Sun Moon Empire would inevitably launch a war, and that they would commit all kinds of evil, and the continent would be devastated.

The Douluo Continent must maintain a stable state, which means allowing the original three kingdoms to check and balance each other, while Shrek Academy remains steadfast, monitoring the continent.

As we all know, triangles are stable. The three empires check and balance each other, Shrek Academy is responsible for maintaining balance, and the Sun Moon Empire, which is excluded, is the most unstable factor.

"Sister Lexuan, if a child was being bullied in front of you, would you go and help?" Wang Dong'er asked.

“Of course,” Zhang Lexuan replied without hesitation.

"If you knew that an evil spirit master was performing a blood sacrifice and massacring a city, and you were far away, would you go after him to kill him?"

"No matter where they are, the evil spirit master will be killed."

"If you were deaf, mute, or blind, unable to see, hear, or speak, would you care about these things?"

Zhang Lexuan was somewhat surprised: "Even after all this, how could I possibly still know these things?"

"Right, just focus on what's in front of us. Before the Soul Battle Tournament, what was your impression of Shrek Academy? A guardian of justice? Or simply an academy dedicated to teaching and nurturing students?"

Zhang Lexuan fell silent. She had to admit that Wang Dong'er had persuaded her.

Shrek Academy once touted itself as a champion of justice, but it also said it never claimed to be righteous, revealing a deep internal conflict.

In addition, there were miraculous events in the Soul Fighting Tournament.

How can such an academy have the audacity to comment on the Sun Moon Empire?

"I understand," Zhang Lexuan said.

The two returned to the group, just as the Lan sisters, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, broke through to level 30 and needed to find a suitable soul ring.

There's no need to say more. The two sisters are already family, so Wang Dong'er should take better care of them. It just so happens that she can give them the resources she has on hand.

There is no limit to the amount of Xuan Shui Dan that can be taken, but generally two or three pills are the limit. Moreover, only Soul Masters who have reached the Soul Venerable level can take it to maximize its effect. Furthermore, the stronger a person's talent, the less effective it will be after taking it, and no amount of it can be squeezed out. Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and Huo Yuhao, for example, no longer need Xuan Shui Dan. Tang Ya had previously obtained one from Wang Dong'er.

This time, Wang Dong'er simply waved her hand and took out five Xuan Shui Pills, one for each of Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan, Ling Luochen, and the two sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo.

Although Tang Ya had obtained a Xuan Shui Pill, she had not been able to quickly advance to the Soul Master level because she had not unlocked her Devouring Talent. Using the second Xuan Shui Pill would still have some effect.

After all, among everyone present, apart from Huo Yuhao in the past, Tang Ya had the worst talent.

Huo Yuhao is currently improving his talent and physique with Wang Dong'er's help, but Tang Ya is just an ordinary Blue Silver Grass without activating her Devouring Talent. It's already a blessing from heaven that she can cultivate to the Soul Venerable level.
