Douluo Continent: Shrek Prince, Getting to the Root of the Matter

"How is it, Grandpa? Not bad, right?"

Moon smiled and shook his head.

"Stop fooling around. Take Beibei to rest. Have him come see me when he wakes up. Now go and call that girl Lexuan over. I have something to tell her."

Upon hearing this, Yu Wudao's face immediately lit up with joy, and he said to Mu En with a fawning expression:

"Grandpa, what do you want with Sister Lexuan? Tell your grandson beforehand so I can have a definite answer."

Upon hearing this, Mu En slightly bent his middle finger and placed it in front of Yu Wudao's forehead. Yu Wudao tried to dodge, but the cultivation of the Limit Douluo was terrifying, and he ultimately took the blow to the head squarely.

Snapped!

"Only you dare to act like this in front of me. Don't you understand why I called that girl?"

Stop pretending to be ignorant and acting innocent after getting the benefit. Go now.

Yu Wudao glanced at Mu En with a wronged expression, then obediently covered his head and left.

"Since you're awake, get up. Stop pretending; he's already gone."

The words fell.

Beibei, who was lying on the ground, stood up with a flushed face.

He felt ashamed just thinking about how his cousin, who was three years younger than him, had taken two soul skills from him and then slapped him unconscious.

If that scoundrel Xu Sanshi finds out about this, he'll probably have a very hard time getting along in the outer courtyard from now on.

Beibei is nine years old this year, and not old enough to start school yet.

However, after Tang Ya came to Shrek Academy seeking help when she was penniless, he moved there as well so that Tang Ya could live a normal life in the outer courtyard.

After all, Tang Ya is also not old enough to start school yet.

Xu Sanshi's situation was more complicated; he had come to visit a few days earlier with his elders.

However, before leaving, Xu Sanshi said he wanted to stay in the outer courtyard for a while to experience the atmosphere of the academy in advance. So he stayed behind as well.

"Now you're blushing? Do you even know how you compare to Wudao?"

Looking at Beibei's reserved demeanor, Moon felt uncomfortable no matter what he did.

Bei Bei wanted to say that Yu Wudao's martial soul was too strong, and its suppressive power on his own martial soul was too great, but he knew that this answer would never satisfy Mu En, so he could only keep it to himself and bent down to say to Mu En:

"I am unaware, please enlighten me, Ancestor."

However, Moon became even more furious upon seeing this.

"Look at yourself, so pathetic!"

You're just trying to say that Wudao's martial soul is too strong, and its suppression of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is terrifying, right? What's there to be afraid to say? If you say it, do you think I'll eat you?

"Believe it or not, if Wudao were in this situation, not only would he dare to say that, he would also go even further, saying that if he had that martial soul, he would definitely be stronger, and then he would shamelessly use this to beg me for money."

After thinking about it for a while, Beibei realized that this was indeed completely in line with her cousin's logic.

"This... Wudao's personality is unique, my grandson can't learn it..."

It was rare for Beibei to stand up for herself in front of Moon, so Moon also suppressed his anger, sighed, and said earnestly:

"Beibei, you were orphaned at a young age and were raised by me and Lexuan. As a result, you are sensitive and tend to judge others by your own standards. Your classmates and teachers in the foreign language department all say that you are humble and cheerful."

There's nothing wrong with that. Everyone has their own experiences, and it's normal to have different personalities.

In my opinion, it is not that being immoral is good, but that you are bad.

However, no matter how humble you are, you can't lose your edge as a Soul Master. A Soul Master without edge is like a Soul Beast without claws and teeth; you won't go far!

You acquired your second spirit ring three months ago, and I asked you to help that little girl from the Tang Sect in the outer courtyard. And what did you do?

You've ruined yourself... I'm not a conservative old man. As long as you're willing, let the love and affection between the younger generation be what they are.

But a week ago, when I went to the outer courtyard to see my future great-granddaughter-in-law, I discovered that your cultivation level hadn't improved at all!

Admittedly, the main reason you lost to Wudao today is that his martial spirit is stronger than yours, his soul skills are better than yours, and his dragon blood is more noble than yours!

But even if your roles were reversed, and you win against Wudao today, you will surely lose to him someday in the future!

Because you are not pure enough, you lack sharpness, and you lack the will to fight.

You cultivate and become stronger only because of me, because everyone around you lives like that, and everyone has such expectations of you.

You lack the determination to become stronger; you are being pushed along. Even when you lose to Wudao, you feel no resentment or dissatisfaction!

How could such a person possibly surpass Wudao in the future?

You all think that I nurtured him and placed high hopes on him because of his extraordinary talent.

Of course, this is at least 80% of the reason, but the remaining 20% ​​is the key factor in my opinion.

Throughout my life, I have taken on many apprentices and taught many strong individuals.

They were all exceptionally gifted individuals. Whether it was Xuanzi, who taught them on their behalf, or Shao Zhe, Lin'er, Duo Duo, Le Xuan, and other direct disciples, they were all exceptionally gifted.

I hope that one of them will be able to take over my responsibilities in the future.

But only today did I realize that a martial spirit can give a soul master a body that has been tempered and refined through countless trials, but it cannot give a soul master the will to reach the pinnacle.

Of the group, it seems that only Le Xuan has the potential to take over my responsibilities.

Among them, Xuanzi is the most talented! Taotie is indeed worthy of being a dragon god, even in Xuanzi, it can push him to the level of ninety-eight.

But at the same time, he is also the least likely person to reach the limit!

Because he's just like you! He has no ambition, no desire to reach the top, he only thinks, "If the sky falls, I'll hold it up!" He just needs to eat lavish meals every day, find something to do at the academy, and live a life of leisure!

With turmoil brewing on the mainland, how can I be at ease with you in this state?

If you were more ordinary and less talented, I could certainly ensure you a happy life through the academy and the protection of Wudao, thanks to my legacy!

But you, on the other hand, have no desire to fight yet are unwilling to be mediocre, neither entirely good nor entirely bad, which makes this old man... sigh..."

Beibei lowered her head in shame halfway through the conversation, and when she heard Moon's last sentence, a sigh that seemed to exhale all the life force, she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Ancestor, I... I will definitely cultivate diligently from now on and never slack off again!"

Beibei wiped away her tears and said, her voice choked with emotion.

Moon remained silent for a long time.

I hope what you say is true...

Go ahead, I won't stop you from contacting that girl from the Tang Clan. However, I've already given one of my great-grandchildren to the Tang Clan, so don't expect any other assistance from me. Everything depends on yourselves.

As for cultivation, I hope you will take it seriously.

If all else fails, just stay obediently in the academy. After the old man leaves, Wudao will protect you.

Moon didn't mention Shrek, because no one understood what kind of organization Shrek was better than him.

Before I left, Beibei was the crown prince. After I left, the academy could only guarantee Beibei's life and livelihood at most. If he suffered any injustice, he would have to rely on his own family.

"Ancestor Xuanzu..."

Beibei choked back tears, which continued to stream down her face.

Mu En had never spoken so much to him before; he had always believed that Yu Wudao was the one who was truly important to Mu En.

But only today did he realize that the love and care that Xuanzu had poured into him was no less.

"Alright, let's go. Aren't you having dinner with that girl? If you don't leave soon, Wudao will laugh at you when he gets back."

Beibei fought back her tears and walked to the entrance, where she heard that old voice again.

"Remember to come back and visit more often in the future..."
