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

Chapter 219 The Sun and Moon Empire's Scheme, The Shock of the Sea God Pavilion (First Update)
Shrek Academy.

Poseidon Pavilion.

Although they remained silent, a suppressed anger was spreading in everyone's hearts. Although the Sun Moon Empire was still trying its best to deny and cover up the news of Su Wen's disappearance, Fan Yu had already sent news of Su Wen's death.

They were set up by Mingdetang.

It is said that several elite Sun Moon Empire Soul Guidance Legions, and even Ye Xishui herself, caused a bottomless pit to appear in that sea area.

"Elder Mu, what are you waiting for? Kill those little bastards Xiao Hongchen and Ma Rulong, then join forces with the other three kingdoms to launch the Second Continental War. Do you really think Shrek Academy is a pushover?!" An elder slammed his fist on the table, his eyes filled with rage.

They finally found an unparalleled successor, only to be tricked into going to the enemy's stronghold and killed by the Sun Moon Empire. They could even imagine Su Wen's despair as he faced the enemy's densely packed army alone. And Shrek Academy's stable foundation of at least two hundred years was gone in an instant!
Among the successors, none were able to shoulder the great responsibility, especially given the volatile situation.

Among the younger generation, Ma Xiaotao is hot-tempered and acts impulsively, Bei Bei is relatively calm but weak, and the only one who can be considered capable is Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan.

With such outstanding examples before her, it will be difficult for Zhang Lexuan to even advance to the Limit Douluo level in the future. Moreover, she has only just stepped into the Title Douluo realm. She still has a long way to go before she can grow to the point where she can take on important responsibilities...

In comparison, Su Wen's qualities are all the more remarkable.

God bless Shrek.

This is why Su Wen was able to make many outrageous statements, yet still receive strong support from the elders. There's no way around it; on this continent, being weak is the original sin, while being strong will make way for you.

Not to mention Su Wen's calm and composed personality, which was evident from his leadership of the team in the Continental Soul Master Academy Tournament; he was a natural leader.

"Then how should the exchange students of the academy in the Sun Moon Empire conduct themselves?" Moon asked in a gentle voice.

"This... sigh!" The old man gritted his teeth and turned his head away.

The implication is obvious.

Su Wen's importance outweighs that of the other nine. At this point, it would be worthwhile to abandon the other nine. There's no other way; this continent is just that cruel. Since the other side made the first move, we can't be bound by these nine people, can we?
“I do have a question,” Moon said with a smile.

"Fan Yu, how did you obtain such precise information, especially given the current state of the Sun Moon Empire's tight security over that area?"

"This..." Old Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of contemplation flashing across his face: "You suspect Fan Yu?"

"It's not a doubt. Just a few days ago, the academy discovered that Zhou Yi had disappeared. And the date of her disappearance, through the interrogation of the fake Soul King, can be traced back to about three months ago, which is... when they just set off."

"This was a premeditated escape."

“Of course, it could also be an accident.” Moon smiled, looked around at the bewildered crowd, and said slowly, “But at least it shows that the message Fan Yu sent back is intriguing.”

"Read Fan Yu's letter again." Mu En waved his hand.

"Yes." Yan Shaozhe hurriedly stepped forward and read the contents of the secret letter again.

This time, all the elders remained silent, clearly sensing that something was amiss. The entire letter was in a passionate and impassioned tone, with Fan Yu expressing his willingness to lead the charge and die for the academy, urging the academy not to worry about them and to launch a war as it saw fit.

The details of the incident and how "real information" was obtained were only briefly mentioned.

"Could this letter be an attempt by Fan Yu to sow discord between the Sun Moon Empire and Shrek Academy?" Elder Zhuang pondered.

“No, he probably doesn’t have the guts. If I’m not mistaken, this letter was written on his orders by the Sun Moon Empire,” Mu En said leisurely.

"The Sun and Moon Empire?!" Everyone was stunned.

“But all ten elite disciples of the Sun Moon Empire are in my hands, and one of them is the grandson of Jing Hongchen, the head of the Mingde Hall. How could they possibly provoke me on their own initiative…” “Take a closer look. Is there a member of the royal family among these ten?” Mu En said with a smile.

"This..." Old Lin suddenly realized, his brows furrowing sharply.

"No wonder. If we follow this logic, Jing Hongchen must have been mired in trouble long ago. After all, the Sun Moon Empire belongs to the Xu family, and Mingde Hall is just a tool of them. The so-called hall master is nothing more than a loyal dog."

"I should have replaced him with the Sun and Moon Prince!" Old Song said indignantly.

"Forgot about that? The Sun Moon Empire has been sending the Hall Master of Mingde Hall to negotiate with us, probably with the same intention: to downplay the royal family's presence and increase Jing Hongchen's importance in our hearts. But in reality..."

“Yes.” Moon tapped the golden wooden chair arm gently, his voice filled with emotion.

"If we really kill Xiao Hongchen, we might be able to force Jing Hongchen to turn against us. If a level nine Soul Master who is infinitely close to Super Douluo has any disloyal intentions, the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire will be restless in their dreams. Moreover, he is the Hall Master who has been deeply involved in Mingde Hall for many years. If he really wants to cause trouble in Mingdu, the damage he will cause will be far greater than the damage caused by us outsiders... So, it would be better to get rid of him under the pretext of rebellion."

"Secondly, it's possible that they had the will to fight all along. Since we started this battle, they have gone from being passive (due to Su Wen's disappearance) to becoming the victims. The morale of the military has increased significantly, and they can gain the upper hand in terms of reason and emotion."

“…That little brat Xu from the Sun and Moon Clan is truly treacherous!!” Xuanzi managed to utter a sentence after a long pause.

Everyone fell silent.

"But Elder Mu, Xiao Wen is indeed dead..." Yan Shaozhe gritted his teeth and said, "Are we just going to let this grudge go unpunished?!"

"Yes, Elder Mu! How can we tolerate this?"

"..." The elders became indignant again.

"Who said Su Wen is dead?"

Mu En chuckled softly.

"Distinguished elders, it's been a long time..."

Su Wen's figure appeared in the conference hall. His handsome and cheerful face and slender figure made all the elders pause in surprise.

"You're not dead?!" Xuanzi jumped over, pinching Su Wen's face, his expression incredulous: "How did you survive Ye Xishui's attacks? Or is Fan Yu just talking nonsense, and the Sun Moon Empire never even attacked you?"

"She can't kill me." Su Wen slapped Xuanzi's hand away.

"You're just bragging..." Xuanzi curled his lips. That was the Limit Douluo, a top expert on the continent. Even he would probably be in grave danger if he encountered him.

"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean Xiao Wen can't."

Moon smiled warmly.

But he made a surprising statement.

The elders' initial friendly smiles gradually faded, turning into bewilderment, confusion, and even shock, because Elder Mu's words did not sound like a joke...

"Elder Mu, what do you mean?" Xuanzi asked blankly.

“He genuinely escaped from Ye Xishui’s clutches, Xuanzi. I have to admit, Su Wen is now fully capable of beating you up if he wants to…” Mu En said with a smile.
