Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect - Sharingan Intercepts Tianmeng

Chapter 113 113 Mu En: Could it be that Xiao Qiang has someone by his side who would make this old man go all out? Is that even possible?

"Teacher, you..."

"Elder Mu..."

When Mu En said he was going to find Xiao Qiang, Elder Xuan, Yan Shaozhe, and all the elders of the Sea God Pavilion were shocked.

"Teacher, Xiao Qiang is just a five-ring Soul King. It's not like you need to take action yourself," Yan Shaozhe said after a moment of shock.

"Shao Zhe, don't underestimate the enemy. He may only be a five-ring Soul King right now, but he's a five-ring Soul King capable of defeating a six-ring Soul Emperor. If he hadn't absorbed the Ice Jade Scorpion's soul bone and died this time, would Shrek Academy have anyone who could stand against him five years from now?"

"Shrek's loss once can be explained by accident, but can Shrek afford to lose twice? Shrek's actual teaching quality is not much better than other advanced soul master academies. We rely on the gathering of countless geniuses. Selecting the most outstanding geniuses from among many geniuses is the reason why Shrek has always been the number one academy on the continent."

"By leveraging our reputation as the number one academy on the continent, we can continuously attract more geniuses and then conduct further selection. Why did those two Soul Masters with ultimate Martial Souls choose to come to Shrek Academy? Isn't it because Shrek Academy has always been the number one Soul Master Academy on the entire continent?"

"But if we lose to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy twice in a row, will Shrek Academy still be the number one Soul Master Academy on the entire continent? If not, how will Shrek Academy recruit geniuses? Will they have to poach them from other academies?"

"Teacher, we also have the school motto that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre. As long as this year... no, in recent years, all the academy's exams are defined as causing trouble, others will naturally want to join Shrek Academy to avoid being targeted by Shrek. There's no need for you to personally take action. Your body can't withstand your full strength outside of the Sea God Pavilion!" Yan Shaozhe said worriedly.

Mu En patted Yan Shaozhe's head. "Good boy, I know you're worried about me, but I have to do this."

"While relying on mediocre talents who dare not cause trouble to eliminate geniuses from other forces can certainly consolidate Shrek Academy's position, Shrek Academy cannot rely solely on provoking others to maintain its status. Provoking other Soul Masters to train disciples and then cultivating truly outstanding geniuses who can stand alone to enter the Douluo Three Kingdoms is a good option. With the threat of the Sun Moon Empire, the Douluo Three Kingdoms turn a blind eye to what we do, and even express support to a certain extent."

"But if we only cause trouble instead of cultivating top talents, then Shrek Academy will be a cancer in the eyes of the three kingdoms of Douluo. Even if the Sun Moon Empire puts a lot of pressure on the three kingdoms of the original Douluo Continent, they will still try to eliminate Shrek Academy. Shrek Academy can fail once due to an accident, but Shrek Academy cannot fail twice, let alone fail twice in a row."

"As for my body, there's no need to worry. After all, I've reached level ninety-nine. I wouldn't need to use any power against a junior. Just a slight use of soul power won't cause me any harm, unless someone forces me to use my full strength, but..."

Mu En laughed. "I visited Mingde Hall a few years ago, but even the head of Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen, didn't notice my presence. Could it be that Xiao Qiang has Jing Hongchen protecting him all this time?"

"Not to mention that Jing Hongchen can't protect him 24 hours a day, even if Xiao Qiang were always by Jing Hongchen's side, it wouldn't be a difficult task for me. After all, I need to deal with him, not Jing Hongchen."

"Furthermore, Le Xuan is the future pillar of Shrek Academy. I must go to the Sun Moon Empire. Only while I am alive can I protect Shrek Academy and do something for it. In a few years, all I can do is return to the Tree of Life and meet the other ancestors of Shrek Academy."

"teacher!"

"Elder Mu!"

The people of the Sea God Pavilion wept bitterly, especially Elder Xuan, who even slapped himself twice.

They were truly frustrated by their own incompetence to have someone who was already halfway to his death risk his life for Shrek Academy, while they were powerless to do anything about it.

"Don't cry. Everyone dies eventually. Besides, I'm not going there to die. It's just a trip to the Sun Moon Empire. I won't have any problems."

Elder Xuan knelt down with a thud. "Elder Mu, it's my incompetence! It's my negligence that led to this situation, and it's even more so that you've had to make things difficult for a junior, ruining your reputation!"

Mu En smiled indifferently. "En enough. What does my personal reputation matter when it comes to Shrek Academy's honor? If I am infamous for eternity, so that Shrek Academy can stand tall for another ten thousand years, then I, Mu En, would be more than happy to accept it."

Many of Shrek's elders wept bitterly, and Moon allowed them to vent their emotions for a while before speaking again.

"Alright, don't worry about me. Just make sure to keep a close watch on Shrek Academy while I'm gone. We'll talk about anything else when I get back. Don't worry, I'll be back safely."

As Mu En spoke, he didn't explain anything else. He just leaned on a cane and seemed to be walking step by step toward the Sun and Moon Empire.

However, with each step he took, the distance he moved was far beyond what a normal elderly person could walk.

Watching Elder Mu's departing figure, many members of the Sea God Pavilion were filled with sorrow. The once invincible Dragon God Douluo Mu En was now in his twilight years, yet he was still using his last breath to shine for Shrek Academy. If Mu En hadn't left without a single last word, the elders of Shrek Academy would probably have wept uncontrollably.

Watching Dragon God Douluo Mu En leave, Elder Xuan stood up. "Alright, Elder Mu is just going out to take care of something. He'll be back soon. With Elder Mu's cultivation level, there's not much in this world who can kill him, so don't worry, he'll be fine. We'll discuss everything else when Elder Mu returns."

Elder Xuan, whose cultivation was second only to Elder Mu, spoke up to comfort everyone. After everyone's emotions were calmed down, he went to a place to drink alone, completely unaware of any strange occurrences in Shrek City after Mu En left.

Within the Ming Dynasty of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Fearing that things might change if they delayed, the group from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy returned to the Sun Moon Empire almost without stopping, without even having time to fuse their soul bones along the way.

Upon reaching the border of the Sun Moon Empire, the group began to rest and distribute the soul bones awarded by the Star Luo Empire.

Xiao Qiang had no interest in these ancient soul bones until he saw the left arm bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion.

"Isn't this the piece from the auction before? How did it end up here?"
