Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 167: A Heartbreaking Tale

Silence is the hallowed hall of Neptune today.

Everyone present was either a witness to or a participant in what happened back then.

That's why they all fell silent.

At the same time, a question arose in their minds.

How did she know?
Of all the participants from over a decade ago, apart from Emperor Tianhun and his group, there should be no one still alive.

Xuanzi wanted to ask more questions, but after noticing Mu En's dark expression, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

If you speak up now, you're guaranteed to get beaten up.

After a long while, just as everyone's backs were aching from sitting, Moon's voice rang out again.

However, this time it carries a hint of a hero's twilight.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore!"

It has been announced internally that Zhang Lexuan, along with Han Ruoruo and others, is on a long-term covert mission, with an unknown return date. If you encounter them outside, remember not to approach them; simply report back to the academy.

foreign"

At this point, Moon paused for a moment before continuing:
"Forget it, we don't need to say anything to outsiders. Anyway, Shrek Academy is in such a bad situation that it doesn't matter if we get a few lice."

Duoduo, please make a trip to the Heavenly Soul Empire on my behalf and ask the Heavenly Soul Emperor if there are any people who still know about what happened back then.

Remember, be polite. Shrek Academy isn't what it used to be.

"Yes, Elder Mu!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo leaned forward slightly and softly agreed.

Across from him, Yan Shaozhe, who hadn't sat down yet, looked even more forlorn after seeing Mu En's arrangement.

In the past, I was always responsible for these kinds of things.

Could it be that after he was dismissed, the teacher stopped using him?

However, what Moon said next temporarily suppressed the darkness that had already taken root in Yan Shaozhe's heart.

"Shao Zhe, you should stay at the Sea God Pavilion for now and recover from your injuries as soon as possible. The Martial Soul Department still needs you to lead it."

I will also find a way to retrieve your soul bone, but as you know, this matter cannot be rushed.

"As for Xiao Tao, although her martial soul has been completely corrupted, she has not lost her mind. She is just a little confused about killing her teammate."

She has been temporarily placed in the Golden Tree's room by the old man; she will be released when the time is right.

Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe felt slightly better and respectfully agreed.

"is teacher!"

"Alright, let's put this matter aside for now. Does anyone else have anything to say?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Moon looked around at the pillars of Shrek Academy, but none of them dared to meet his gaze.

This made Moon feel increasingly disappointed and powerless.

"Since you won't tell me, then I will!"

"Can anyone tell me why Shrek Academy has fallen to this state in just a few months?!"

"Especially in the last two months, even I, an old man, have heard all sorts of strange rumors. Is this how you handle things?!"

"Losing the Soul Battle Tournament is not a big deal. After all, it was Shrek Academy that failed to keep up with the times, and the sudden emergence of that child from the Sun Moon Empire caused this. It's not your fault!"

"But what about the others?!"

Xuanzi once again made a mistake due to drinking and overeating, and he broke through his limit even if he didn't die, while you have been wasting your time at level 98, without making any progress for many years.

The academy's Soul Guidance Department has been slow to develop, and even Shrek Academy's reputation, which it has built up over ten thousand years, has been tarnished by others!

The most ridiculous thing is that we Shrek Academy students don't even know who our opponents are, and we've been on the defensive the whole time! It's utterly absurd!

Moon's voice grew louder and louder, and the disappointment in his tone clearly stung every elder.

Yan Shaozhe wanted to refute, but after recalling the sense of crisis he felt when facing Jing Hongchen during the finals, he was speechless.

Cai Meier and the others wanted to plead for mercy, but they also knew that Mu En's words were not wrong, so they sat in their seats, opened their mouths but could not say anything.

Xuanzi was speechless. He was the one who was least wronged, and Mu En could scold him however he wanted without any fault.

But his thick skin allowed him to mutter something almost inaudibly: "Didn't we send out all the members of the surveillance team to search a long time ago? We still haven't found anything."

Before he could finish venting his frustrations, he was instantly blasted out of the Sea God Pavilion by an enraged Mu En with a single, overwhelming strike.

"Get back!"

As the roar subsided, Xuanzi, soaking wet, sheepishly ran in, not daring to use his soul power to dispel the moisture, and sat back down in his original spot, still dripping wet.

"Xuanzi! Did you eat your own brain?!"
You mean you want to send thirty or forty students who aren't even Soul Douluo level to search for a force that even the three great empires can't find?!

"Or do you think they're so talented that they could escape unscathed from someone capable of defeating Shao Zhe?!"

Yan Shaozhe's face darkened upon hearing this. What was wrong with his teacher? Did he really have to drag him out and give him a good dressing down?!
"Teacher, um..."

"Shao Zhe, shut up too! I didn't say anything about you, did I?!"

Don't think I can't guess that you suffered a setback at Jing Hongchen's hands, which is why you didn't continue to obstruct the development of soul tools after returning!

Moon's retort left him speechless, and he sat there silently without uttering a sound.

Seeing this, the other elders who wanted to plead for leniency also refrained from speaking.

"I think you've been living a comfortable life for too long. You don't even care about the crises that are coming your way. You're not even as good as those kids in the inner courtyard!"

"How could you even come up with the idea of ​​sending thirty or forty students all over the continent!"

Listen up! From this moment on, all of you, including Xuanzi, must go out and find out which force is targeting Shrek Academy. You may not return without finding anything!

Listen carefully, it's everyone!

After a roar, Moon really didn't want to see this group of pedantic fools anymore.

He then snorted coldly, got up and left the Sea God Pavilion, leaving Xuanzi and the others looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Alas, it seems Elder Mu is truly angry. I will depart once my injuries have healed. Please make yourselves at home."

Seeing Mu En's furious expression, Xuanzi sighed helplessly, left a message, and headed to Shrek City.

Before long, the others finished their discussion and left one after another to carry out Moon's orders.

. . .

As many viewers of the competition returned to their respective cities, Shrek's many outrageous actions spread rapidly.

They were wiped out by the evil soul master Soul King, deliberately used ruthless methods to cripple their opponents, cheated in the competition, had an evil soul master attack their teammates, and even tried to kill the audience. In the end, the academy teachers were so enraged that they fought each other in the center of Star Luo City.

These scandals, combined with various rumors over the past few months and Wu San's relentless efforts, caused Shrek Academy's reputation in Douluo Continent to plummet to its lowest point.

Apart from a few die-hard fans and some graduates of Shrek Academy, everyone else was just waiting to see Shrek Academy make a fool of itself.

Even the sects and nobles who have always been close to Shrek Academy no longer hesitated and called back their children who were still studying at Shrek Academy, fearing that their own power would be affected by Shrek's disaster.

The inner courtyard is doing well; the brainwashing process has been quite effective, and no one has left yet.

But it's different in the School of Foreign Languages.

For a time, the once bustling outer courtyard felt somewhat desolate, yet people continued to walk out of the academy gates.

At first glance, almost all of them were scions of nobles and sects.

Many students among the commoners also wanted to switch affiliations, but without power or influence, they had no way to leave Shrek Academy in a short time and could only wait for an opportunity.

At the same time, the actions of the Star Luo Empire also attracted the attention of the other two major empires.

Although the two emperors had no idea what had gotten into Xu Jiawei that led him to deliberately distance himself from Shrek Academy, it served as a wake-up call for them.

As the emperor with the most outstanding literary and military talents of his generation, Xu Jiawei is the least likely to make baseless accusations.

Therefore, something extraordinary must have happened to force him to make this decision.

If even the strongest of the Three Kingdoms, the Star Luo Empire, is like this, then what about them?
Therefore, the two great empires, Tianhun and Douling, tacitly severed some of their ties with Shrek Academy.

Only a portion of the relationship that was necessary to maintain face for both parties was left as a matter of observation.

As a result, Shrek Academy was completely isolated, with no other sources of information besides Shrek City, which it already possessed.

Meanwhile, in the God Realm, Tang San spent an entire day to basically heal Xiao Wu, who was injured by the violent surge of Asura God Power.

Tang San, finally relieved, had time to peek through the God Realm's central hub to see how far his ten-thousand-year plan had progressed.

That one glance enraged him to the point of fury, and his Asura power surged once more.
