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

Chapter 263 Xuanzi's Spirit of Diligence and Craftsmanship! (3 words)

Zhang Lexuan had a knowing look on her face.

"Since that's the case, then let me tell you about it. These... are all things I've seen and experienced firsthand."

After a long while, Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming looked at each other in bewilderment.

They never imagined that the details of the matter would be like this.

Xuanzi and Beibei, simply because of a conversation between Zhang Lexuan and Wang Dong'er, arbitrarily concluded that Zhang Lexuan had betrayed Shrek Academy.

From Zhang Lexuan's perspective, they were also able to detach themselves and examine the various things Shrek Academy had done, things they might have experienced or might not have experienced.

"Then... Senior Sister, where have you been for the past five years?" Wu Ming asked.

“The Sun and Moon Empire,” Zhang Lexuan replied.

"What?" the two said in unison.

"Senior Sister, even if Elder Xuan and Bei Bei misunderstand you, you can't work for the enemy!" Wu Ming, being straightforward, immediately frowned and said.

Zhang Lexuan smiled, but there was a hint of sarcasm in her smile.

"Look at you now, how are you any different from Elder Xuan and Bei Bei?"

Zhang Lexuan hadn't expected Wu Ming to say such a thing, and for a moment it felt like she was back in the time when she was misunderstood.

This isn't just a problem for Xuanzi and Beibei alone; it's a problem for the entire Shrek Academy.

Anyone who has objections to Shrek Academy is considered to have wavering allegiance and is attempting to overthrow Shrek Academy.

After Zhang Lexuan pointed it out, Wu Ming also realized his problem and stood there stunned for a moment.

Han Ruoruo looked thoughtful.

She didn't ask, but the thought did cross her mind.

My first reaction was to question whether Zhang Lexuan was working for the enemy and whether there was any trust between them.

Wu Ming blushed slightly: "I'm sorry, Senior Sister. I..."

"You don't need to say anything more," Zhang Lexuan said coldly. "I know you've been at Shrek Academy for a while now and have some emotional connection. If you don't want to leave with me today, then go back on your own. I hope you won't stand in my way next time we meet..."

"No, Senior Sister..." Wu Ming quickly grabbed Zhang Lexuan's hand.

"Don't call me Senior Sister anymore. I have a name and surname. My name is Zhang Lexuan. I am no longer a member of Shrek Academy."

“…Sister Lexuan,” Wu Ming said in a low voice, “I can work with Ruoruo to help you clear up the misunderstanding…”

“It seems you’re still stubbornly clinging to your delusions.” Zhang Lexuan shook off Wu Ming’s hands that were holding her and said, “I used to want to make Shrek Academy better. Even when I was misunderstood, I just wanted to clear things up. But I realized I was wrong. Shrek Academy is rotten to the core.”

"Ruo Ruo, Wu Ming, if you trust me, come with me. I will show you the real world. If you don't want to, then goodbye."

"Sister Lexuan..." Wu Ming bit her lip, feeling conflicted.

How did my former senior sister become such a strange person?

However, reason told her that Zhang Lexuan had changed, but not become a stranger; rather, she had not reached the same level as Zhang Lexuan.

Is Shrek Academy really rotten to the core, just as Zhang Lexuan said?
Thinking of the examples Zhang Lexuan had just mentioned, Wu Ming was about to speak when Han Ruoruo spoke first: "Lexuan, I believe you, and I'm willing to leave with you. But... at least let me say goodbye to the academy first."

"No." Zhang Lexuan decisively rejected Han Ruoruo's request.

"I said, either come with me, or you go back on your own. I don't give you any other choice. This is for your own good. If you're going to break it off, break it off cleanly. Don't end up like I did, creating unnecessary entanglements."

“Okay, then I’ll go with you,” Han Ruoruo said.

“I’ll go with Sister Lexuan too,” Wu Ming agreed.

However, even though she had agreed to Zhang Lexuan's request, Wu Ming still glanced at Han Ruoruo.

She couldn't understand Han Ruoruo's expression, but she had already made her own plans.

If Zhang Lexuan was deceived... or for some other unreasonable reason, she would definitely persuade Zhang Lexuan to go back.

If the goal is to change Shrek Academy, why not make changes directly within Shrek Academy itself?

Zhang Lexuan glanced at the two of them and made her own judgment.

She knew that the two of them couldn't fully accept it yet, but that didn't matter. As long as they opened their eyes to the world, they would find that even Shrek Academy, which was known as the number one academy on the continent, was just a frog in a well.

"Huh? Sister Lexuan, you haven't gone back yet?" A voice came from not far away.

Zhang Lexuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Wang Dong'er and Gu Yuena had just come out of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Dong'er." Zhang Lexuan smiled and greeted Wang Dong'er and Gu Yuena, then pulled Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming over. "This is Han Ruoruo, my best friend from Shrek Academy. This is Wu Ming, my junior from school."

"Hello, my name is Wang Dong'er." Wang Dong'er looked Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming up and down. She didn't expect the two of them to be here. They must have come with the Shrek Academy team.

Then, Gu Yuena coldly stated her name and stood beside Wang Dong'er.

Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming also looked at Wang Dong'er with some curiosity. From Zhang Lexuan's previous words, they had gained some initial understanding of Wang Dong'er.

……

Shrek Academy, Poseidon Island, Poseidon Pavilion.

The elders gathered together and all looked at Xuanzi, who sat at the head of the table.

"Is everyone here?" Xuanzi's voice was deep and resonant, yet tinged with sorrow.

"Elder Xuan, why did you convene the Sea God Pavilion meeting?" an elder asked.

"Sigh—" Xuanzi sighed, pushed back his chair, stood up, and bowed deeply.

"Elder Xuan, you mustn't!"

"What do you mean by this, Elder Xuan?"

The elders were all shocked by Xuanzi's actions and stood up one after another.

Xuanzi remained bowing for a long time before standing up and saying, "Because of my carelessness, two more students have died, and two inner court disciples have gone missing."

"What?" The elders were stunned by Xuanzi's words and were speechless for a moment.

Was Xuanzi cursed by someone? Otherwise, how could he be so unlucky, always getting into trouble whenever he leads a team?

"Elder Xuan, please calm down. What exactly happened?" Yan Shaozhe asked.

Xuanzi looked down at Wang Yan, who was standing because he was not entitled to sit, and said, "Wang Yan, please explain the whole story to the elders."

"Yes, Elder Xuan." Wang Yan bowed respectfully before recounting everything that had happened in the Star Dou Great Forest.

After Wang Yan finished recounting his experiences, Xuanzi also told him about his encounter with Di Tian while secretly watching over the students.

"This is outrageous!" Cai Meier slammed her hand on the table in anger after hearing Xuanzi's account of what had happened.

"Since there are evil spirit masters involved, it's obvious that they were the ones who did it. What does it have to do with Shrek Academy? I think it's just that Di Tian couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to declare war on us humans!"

Wang Yan moved her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

Lin Huiqun coughed and said, "If Di Tian really wants to declare war on our human world, I'm afraid Shrek Academy is not good enough to deal with those ferocious beasts. We must gather all our strength and even recreate the glory of the continental war more than four thousand years ago."

During the continental war, Shrek Academy could summon more than sixty titled Douluo with a single call, and lead the entire armies of the three great empires.

Shrek Academy was incredibly glorious back then.

Old Song said, "I don't think Di Tian will declare war. Old Mu warned him before he passed away. How many years has it been? For a ferocious beast like Di Tian, ​​this is just a blink of an eye."

"Regardless of the reason, the soul beasts of Star Dou Great Forest have encountered evil forces. Either the Body Sect has broken its original alliance with Shrek Academy, or evil soul masters are committing atrocities."

"It just so happens that a few years ago, evil soul masters broke into our Shrek Academy and kidnapped Ma Xiaotao and the others. Given the strength shown by those organized evil soul masters, it doesn't seem impossible that they could wreak havoc in the Star Dou Great Forest."

Xian Lin'er nodded and said, "The storm is brewing. With Elder Mu gone, all sorts of demons and monsters have come out. This is a critical moment for Shrek Academy. Elder Xuan, this is not a failure in battle, but rather an unfavorable time. Your most important task is to break through the level 99 barrier with all your might."

"Yes, Elder Xuan, everything will be alright once you break through to level ninety-nine."

Xuanzi looked at the elders with some emotion, then lowered his head and bowed again.

"Xuanzi is incompetent, leaving Shrek Academy to suffer a disgrace that cannot be washed away. Everyone, after the Soul Battle Tournament ends, I will go into seclusion to cultivate. At that time, I will entrust Shrek Academy to you!"

"Don't worry, Elder Xuan," Yan Shaozhe said, "We'll take care of Shrek Academy and make it thrive!"

Xuanzi squeezed out a few tears and secretly made a decision: he would not take his students to participate in the Shrek Academy Inspection Team's mission in this Soul Battle Tournament.

There's also the flaw in my martial soul that requires constant eating and drinking, which I must find a way to resolve.

Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming have disappeared. It is unknown whether they were taken away by the three evil soul masters who also disappeared, or whether someone else intervened.

We need to get more information about the two of them from the academy.

After thinking it over, it seemed that nothing had been overlooked. Xuanzi then looked at Yan Shaozhe and said, "Shaozhe, you are responsible for compensating the two deceased students. Make sure to deliver the bodies to their families."

"Lin'er, Qian Duoduo, and Fan Yu, the three of you, please work harder during this period and make more soul tools suitable for the participating students. Our Shrek Academy is very wealthy, and we are richer than a country. As long as it does not affect the basic operation of the academy, we will provide all of them!"

"Yes!" The people whose names were called all bowed.
