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

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of regular knocks sounded inside dormitory room 108.

Wang Dong glanced at Yu Wudao with a puzzled look.

It's eight o'clock in the morning, and they've just gotten up to get ready for class. Who would be knocking on the door at this hour?

Yu Wudao's lips curled up as he said:

"It seems Dai Yueheng is smarter than I thought."

He took two steps to the door and opened it.

Before he could even see who was at the door, the figure suddenly knelt down and then kowtowed three times with a series of loud thuds.

"Young Master, I've always been arrogant and domineering in the Duke's mansion, and I've acted recklessly in the academy, causing you considerable trouble! But I've already paid the price, so please be merciful and let the Duke's mansion off the hook!"

Dai Yueheng pressed his forehead tightly to the ground, his entire back soaked in cold sweat.

God knows how terrified he was when he received the news in the inner courtyard last night!

It's one thing that Dai Huabin, that good-for-nothing, performs only so-so in the outer courtyard, but he actually dared to provoke Yu Wudao, that troublemaker!

Although Dai Yueheng did harbor some intention to have Yu Wudao severely punish Dai Huabin in the outer courtyard to solidify his own position, he never expected that Dai Huabin would dare to send assassins to kill Yu Wudao! And even more so, his identity was exposed!

Others may not know Yu Wudao's background, but Dai Yueheng was already in the inner academy when Yu Wudao first awakened his martial soul. Although the academy has never publicly revealed who he is, Dai Yueheng knows it all too well.

This is the great-great-grandson of Dragon God Douluo! The uncrowned crown prince of Shrek Academy!

If his talent were average, that would be one thing; at most, he could give the Dragon God Douluo an explanation.

Given the strong bond between the Duke's Mansion and Shrek Academy, and considering that Dai Huabin has already paid the price for this, Shrek Academy will not allow the Duke's Mansion to suffer any real damage.

But Yu Wudao is exceptionally talented and also extremely vengeful!

Dai Yueheng had been in the inner courtyard for a long time, and he would be graduating in about a year. It was precisely because of this that he came to understand even more what kind of person Yu Wudao was.

It should be noted that Yu Wudao has only spent a little over a year in the outer academy, and before that, he studied in the inner academy!

With the children of some elders entering the inner academy, Yu Wudao's words carried more weight in the inner academy than Zhang Lexuan's to some extent!

He also heard that Yu Wudao was about to be officially crowned as the young master of the pavilion!

Dai Yueheng was truly scared this time.

Given Yu Wudao's personality, if the Duke's Mansion doesn't give him a satisfactory explanation, even if the academy doesn't pursue the matter now, a hundred years later, when Yu Wudao becomes the Pavilion Master, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion can disappear from the Douluo Continent!

And the White Tiger Duke at that time was most likely Dai Yueheng!

He gritted his teeth, wishing he could bring Dai Huabin back to life and then slice him into minced meat!

This isn't just a case of betraying one's father; it's also dragging his older brother down with them.

Yu Wudao pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Dai Yueheng. He didn't respond to Dai Yueheng, but instead changed the subject and asked:

"Did the academy show you that video?"

Upon hearing Yu Wudao speak, Dai Yueheng raised his head and said:

"I've seen it. It was indeed my little brother's own fault. His death and his youth..."

Yu Wudao waved his hand to interrupt him.

"No, no, no, you guessed right, and don't pretend with me. I did kill Dai Huabin. His body is still undigested in the stomach of a stray dog ​​in the north of the city. If you go and cut him open now, you might still see your brother's body parts."

Wang Dong, who was brushing his teeth nearby, was stunned when he heard this, and his toothbrush cup slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

"Is this something I can say directly?"

Yu Wudao turned his head in confusion, but after finding nothing had happened, he turned back.

Dai Yueheng's body trembled, his face froze, and after a moment, he gritted his teeth and said resolutely:

"Young Master, please don't joke around. Dai Huabin was accidentally killed by the Duke's assassins! There's no mistake!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong's eyes widened, his mouth opened, and the toothbrush in his mouth fell to the ground with a soft sound.

Yu Wudao, however, curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"That's right, it's easy to talk to smart people."

Dai Yueheng understood that this was a murder plot by Yu Wudao against Dai Huabin, but he couldn't do anything unnecessary.

First of all, my own side is not clean to begin with.

Secondly, if this matter is brought to light, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion might not have to pay any substantial compensation, but the price would be a complete falling out with Yu Wudao!

Dai Yueheng couldn't even tell anyone about this, and he had to help Yu Wudao confirm that "Dai Huabin died at the hands of an assassin!"

Because Yu Wudao represents the future of Shrek Academy, while the current members of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion may not consider the future White Tiger Duke...

"This incident was entirely Dai Huabin's doing, and he has paid the price for it. Therefore, I don't have many conditions, only one!"

Yu Wudao raised a finger and revealed a smile.

"Young Master, please speak plainly, and I will certainly convey your message."

Dai Yueheng took a deep breath, preparing himself for a major hemorrhage.

However, Yu Wudao's next condition was beyond his expectations.

"I want the White Tiger Guard to serve me once, if necessary!"

Dai Yueheng's expression stiffened, and he said:

"But the White Tiger Guards have been following Father to the front lines all along; there's no way they can leave!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Just convey the message; whether or not it is the Duke of White Tiger's business."

"I see."

Dai Yueheng responded, which meant that the matter was temporarily settled.

After seeing Dai Yueheng off, Yu Wudao and Wang Dong headed to the classroom together.

Walking down the street, Wang Dong couldn't help but complain:

"You killed Dai Huabin, and the White Tiger Duke's Mansion is actually going to compensate you! I've never seen anything so outrageous in my life!"

Yu Wudao chuckled.

His decision to tell Dai Yueheng directly was not a rash one.

Dai Yueheng wasn't a fool like Dai Huabin. Even if Yu Wudao didn't say anything, he could probably guess what was going on.

If he were to discover anything, Yu Wudao wouldn't dare to act, but he wouldn't have that concern about Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao.

Therefore, he is very likely to target Wang Dong or Huo Yuhao, doing something unexpected to curry favor with the Duke's mansion and consolidate his position.

Therefore, in order to eliminate this possibility, Yu Wudao directly brought the matter to light in front of him.

Given Dai Yueheng's intelligence, it's impossible that he doesn't understand that Yu Wudao is protecting Wang Dong and the other person.

"There's a lot you haven't seen yet! Okay, stop overthinking. The second team members will be officially confirmed this afternoon. You should focus on the competition!"

Wang Dong raised his arm, raised his eyebrows, and revealed a smug smile.

"Don't worry! I haven't been idle while I was at home on vacation! I only used less than half my strength during the previous assessment, so you'll definitely be surprised during the competition!"

Yu Wudao glanced at her, and seeing her smug look, he knew the answer in his heart.

"I guess they learned the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian in advance."

However, Wang Dong's combat power after using the Clear Sky Hammer in the later part of the original timeline was indeed amazing, and he was able to compete with Long Jingni, who possessed the Golden Dragon.

Both she and Long Jingni performed like top-tier NPCs, but after merging into the daughter of the God King, they were a burden throughout the entire process.

Using the best settings, they produced the worst possible output.

Time passed, the sun began to set, and Du Weilun, holding the list provided by Yu Wudao, gathered those exceptionally talented youths in the Soul Arena.
