Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 114 Gu Yuena: Shrek Academy is rotten! Mu En: You're right.
"Heh, I didn't expect you to be alarmed..."

Top floor of the Sea God Pavilion.

Yan Shaozhe left in a hurry, leaving Mu En alone in his wheelchair, watching the twinkling lights in the direction of Shrek City in the distance, and smiling warmly.

Over time, he recovered from the initial shock.

Thinking back to when the two girls first appeared before him half a year ago, their terrifying aura was so overwhelming that he almost triggered his ultimate form, truly believing that a soul beast had attacked...

"Why are you so smug?" Gu Yuena asked, tilting her head as her silver pupils reflected the firelight. Her voice was cold.

His tone was calm, yet it concealed a sharp edge.

"Because your disciple successfully survived a perilous situation on his own? Or perhaps he was forced to unleash more of his potential? Or maybe he revealed other trump cards that you were unaware of..."

“Hmm…” Moon was taken aback.

His lips moved, and a hint of guilt flashed across his face.

"It's like watching a cat-and-mouse game, but the mouse is your proud disciple. Why test him under the guise of forcing him to unleash his potential? Do you think you don't know him well enough?"

"Using the pretext of training disciples, the older generation is actually as lazy as rotting worms. The human world is truly hard to understand..."

Gu Yuena said lightly.

"You say he can rival the status of auspicious beasts in the Soul Beast World—but do you know that auspicious beasts are protected by the Crimson King 24 hours a day? But what about Su Wen? Is this how you humans treat your juniors?"

"Perfunctory, careless, and with an air of superiority."

Gu Yuena tried her best to appear indifferent, as if she didn't care about the matter.

She didn't know why, but when she saw a group of old, immortal humans standing on the city gate tower, leisurely watching the show, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

It was as if Su Wen's life-threatening situations were just child's play...

Moon took a deep breath.

A bitter smile played on his lips: "I've learned something, but... you're wrong about one thing. This situation only happens at Shrek Academy. Other human forces value their juniors just as much as those in your Soul Beast World."

"..."

Gu Yuena glanced at the old man in the wheelchair with her silver eyes, a hint of surprise flashing across her face.

"I didn't expect you not to refute me."

“Because what you said is true.” Moon’s smile grew increasingly bitter.

The old guys who are resting on their laurels are not just the one surnamed Cheng. The root of Shrek Academy's corruption lies not in the outer academy, nor in the inner academy, but in these old guys in the Sea God Pavilion.

Building Shrek's eternal honor as a banner—perhaps in the first generation after that banner was created, everyone would strive and fight for this honor. But as time goes by, this honor will only become an empty slogan, or even... a heavy shackle.

He wanted to change, but he was powerless to do so, and even he himself became deeply entangled in it subtly.

"Been taught a lesson."

Mu En Golden Tree turned his wheelchair over, bowed slightly to Gu Yuena, and spoke again.

"Instead of apologizing, why not do something practical?" Gu Yuena glanced at Mu En and disappeared into the Sea God Pavilion.

"Ugh……"

Moon sighed slowly.

Xuanzi's mindset was no different from that of the other Grand Secretaries.

Just look at the percentage of mission completion by the inspection team. The entire Poseidon Pavilion inspection team is basically composed of young inner court disciples, who are also the main force in sniping evil soul masters. The number of deaths exceeds ten every year, while the inner court only has fifty or sixty people in total.

But the sacrifice of these young disciples, though it sounds tragic, did it really bring about any change?

No, evil spirit masters still run rampant, and have even gained considerable influence with the support of the Sun Moon Empire.

The reason why evil spirit masters are not so rampant on the continent now is simply because they ravaged the continent thousands of years ago, and were eradicated by a joint effort of various countries. That's all. Shrek Academy may seem to have erected one monument after another, but it can only move itself.

Let our young bloodline be sacrificed in the place where they should never have been sacrificed.

Since he took over Shrek Academy, things have been turbulent. For the sake of the academy's stability, the young and impetuous man fought a life-or-death battle with Du Bisi. Although the latter perished not long after returning, it was from that day on that he never recovered and has been barely surviving ever since, dragging his broken body to support Shrek Academy. The grand ambitions he once had have been gradually worn away...

Right now, all he wants, and can only do, is play it safe.

If it weren't for the prestige he built in his youth, which allowed him to subdue a group of older men of the same age, the Sea God Pavilion would probably still be embroiled in endless infighting.

Therefore, before Su Wen had sufficient strength, he was extremely cautious even when he tried to harm the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy...

Before his death, he reliably handed over Shrek to the next successor.

Shrek Academy couldn't withstand any setbacks. All their long-cherished wishes and problems had to be dealt with by Su Wen. It was a mess, but it was the only thing he could do.

……

"How's the injury?"

in the dormitory.

Mu Qiu'er touched Su Wen's pale face and said angrily, "What are those Shrek Academy elders doing? Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, even the Crimson King followed me everywhere. How can they be so indifferent to the geniuses of their own faction?"

“It’s a habit of being undisciplined; it’s something ingrained in your bones, and it’s hard to correct,” Gu Yuena said softly, leaning against the side.

She glanced at the boy casually.

"Are you okay?"

"Thanks……"

Su Wen forced a smile.

My whole body felt like it was falling apart.

Killing a peak Contra expert left me exhausted and slightly injured, but it was nothing serious.

The lights are about to go out.

Gu Yuena and Mu Qiu'er left.

A figure in crimson rushed in through the door and sat down in front of Su Wen's bed. He examined Su Wen's body for a long time and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no injury.

"You scared me to death!" Ma Xiaotao leaned down, hugged Su Wen tightly around the neck, and said with a sob in her voice.

The fragrance wafted into his nose, and Su Wen managed a weak smile on his pale face.

He patted the beauty on the back.

"It's nothing. I just tried out the Martial Soul Fusion Technique tonight, and my body was basically drained, haha..."

The beauty was still sobbing and ignored him.

Su Wen grinned, somewhat embarrassed.

"Do you know how important you are to me?" After a long silence, Ma Xiaotao got up, wiped her red eyes, and then angrily heated a piece of whale glue with her hand and stuffed it into Su Wen's mouth.

This stuff does have a healing effect, but it's purely because Ma Xiaotao is used to it; its main function is to prolong life...

"Oh……"

Ma Xiaotao quickly realized what was going on and stuffed another Xuan Shui Pill into her mouth: "I got it from Xu Sanshi. Don't worry, I didn't steal it."

Su Wen remained silent and simply swallowed the pill.

It's really just a minor injury...
