Douluo Continent: I Moved the Entire Dragon King

Chapter 55 Flattery is an essential skill for the Dean of Shrek Academy

Inside the confinement room.

Yan Shaozhe's gaze fell on Xuanzi, whose head was lowered and whose messy white hair covered most of his face. Only half of his face, which was swollen like a pig's head, and blood was constantly seeping from the corner of his mouth could be seen.

On the ground in front of him, there were a dozen or so bloody teeth scattered about.

That was just slapped away by Long Yeyue.

"Elder Xuan————"

Yan Shaozhe hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, his tone full of concern.

"Are you... are you alright?"

This is nonsense.

With all his teeth knocked out and his face swollen like this, how could he be alright?

But Yan Shaozhe had no choice but to ask.

When Long Yeyue made her move, he was startled by the slap. It was obviously funny that a dignified Super Douluo was startled by a slap, but when this actually happened, it was no longer funny.

Furthermore, Mu En was also present at the time, and Mu En's expression was unpleasant, clearly indicating his anger at Xuanzi's outrageous remarks.

So at that time, Yan Shaozhe wisely chose to shut up and play dead, fearing that if he said another word, the short-tempered old woman would slap him.

Now that all the outsiders have left, only his own people remain. As a junior and a subordinate, he must show sufficient concern.

Seeing this, Qian Duoduo quickly came over, her face full of worry: "Yes, Elder Xuan, how are your injuries? Are you alright?"

"That old woman was too ruthless!"

In response to their questions...

Xuanzi didn't speak. He kept his head down, staring intently at the few blood-stained teeth on the ground.

Those old, originally cloudy eyes were now filled with bloodshot veins, and their gaze was terrifyingly sinister.

A thick, almost tangible resentment emanated from him.

That aura was cold and violent, completely unlike that of an elder of Shrek Academy, but rather like that of an evil soul master.

I know, I know this is the Taotie Douluo who has been wronged.

If you didn't know better, you'd think he was some kind of senior elder from the Holy Spirit Cult.

Seeing that Xuanzi remained silent, the atmosphere became awkward again.

Yan Shaozhe's eyes darted around, and he quickly understood what Xuanzi was struggling with: saving face.

For a powerful figure of his time, being slapped in public was a humiliation worse than death.

To appease Xuanzi, we must help him regain his dignity, even if only verbally.

"Elder Xuan, please don't take it to heart."

Yan Shaozhe took a deep breath, his face showing an expression of righteous indignation.

"That crazy woman, she's only powerful because she has more people and because this is her territory!"

"If you hadn't exhausted your soul power beforehand, and if this strange soul tool hadn't restricted it, how could that old woman have dared to attack you?"

"This is clearly taking advantage of someone's vulnerability! It's an unfair victory!"

Yan Shaozhe spoke these words with absolute certainty.

He was trying to save face for Xuanzi, and also trying to cover up the shortcomings of Shrek Academy.

"You are a level 98 Super Douluo! You possess the top-tier martial soul, the Gluttonous Divine Ox! You are one of the strongest beings in the world!"

"How could that old woman possibly be a match for you in a head-on confrontation?"

"Those people were playing such dirty tricks!"

"This is utterly shameless!"

It must be said that Yan Shaozhe truly deserves to be the dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy; his ability to avoid the important issues and focus on the trivial is indeed masterful.

Xuanzi, who had been keeping a gloomy face and remaining silent, changed his expression after hearing these words.

The muscles on that swollen, pig-like face twitched slightly.

It still hurts.

But—I feel much better now.

Yes!

That's what I think too!

If my soul power hadn't been sealed, how could that old woman have possibly hurt me? As the dignified Taotie Douluo, with astonishing defensive power, how could I possibly have my teeth knocked out with a single slap?

Thinking this way, Xuanzi's sense of shame instantly lessened, replaced by a tragic feeling of a hero being bullied by dogs in distress.

"call----"

Xuanzi exhaled a heavy breath, hissing as air escaped through his front teeth.

His expression softened slightly, and he looked up at Yan Shaozhe with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

As expected of Junior Uncle's disciple, and as expected of the Dean of the Martial Soul Department.

He speaks eloquently and skillfully.

Qian Duoduo, who was standing to the side, immediately understood what was going on.

If not now, when?

"Shao Zhe is right!"

Qian Duoduo slapped his thigh, spitting as he spoke, and immediately chimed in, "Elder Xuan, please don't doubt your own strength over such a trivial matter."

"Those people are a bunch of despicable scoundrels who only know how to use underhanded tricks!"

Qian Duoduo held up five fingers and boasted confidently, "If Elder Xuan could break the seal, return to his full strength, eat and drink his fill, and unleash his Martial Soul True Body—"

"snort!"

"Don't say she's a crazy woman."

"Even taking down five crazy women would be a piece of cake!"

"You could smash her into a pulp with one slap!"

Xuanzi was clearly impressed by this, and the gloom in his eyes dissipated considerably.

However, when his gaze swept over the broken teeth scattered on the ground again, the anger in his eyes reignited.

Although I felt psychologically comforted, my tooth was truly gone.

Xuanzi spat out these words through gritted teeth, his voice muffled but filled with boundless hatred: "This grudge—I will remember it."

"That arrogant old woman, and this dilapidated college—"

"Sooner or later, I will make them pay the price!"

Xuanzi's expression was quite ferocious. When Yan Shaozhe saw this, he was also startled and had to remind Xuanzi that they were still prisoners.

Yan Shaozhe coughed twice and quickly changed the subject, then began to preemptively say, "Elder Xuan, let's talk about revenge later. A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years."

"The most urgent thing right now is to get out of here."

"When the teacher pulls us out later—"

"Elder Xuan, you must be patient!"

Even if you're furious inside, you have to hold it in first.

"To avoid causing trouble for the teacher."

"After all, this is their territory, and they have the numbers and strength."

"If another conflict breaks out, I'm afraid the teacher alone won't be able to protect so many of us. If Elder Xuan were in good condition, that would be fine, but your condition is not so good right now, so it's best to avoid a confrontation."

Yan Shaozhe secretly flattered Xuanzi again, fearing that Xuanzi's stubborn temper might flare up and he would start cursing Long Yeyue again after they went out.

At that point, things will really get out of control.

Upon hearing this, Xuanzi nodded slightly and then spoke.

Don't worry.

"I know my limits."

"Since Elder Mu is here, I will naturally not make things difficult for him."

"That's good, that's good."

Yan Shaozhe breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly. It was hard for him to bear having his teeth knocked out in public, let alone Xuanzi, who had an even more volatile temper.

Now we can only hope that Xuanzi will really know his limits.

Just then, the door opened, and Mu En and the others entered. Mu En's gaze fell on them, and he slowly uttered three words.

"Let's go back."

"teacher----"

Yan Shaozhe choked up, overwhelmed with emotion and guilt.

Moon is indeed as reliable as ever.

No matter how big the problem, no matter how much trouble we cause, as long as Elder Mu is there, the sky will never fall.
