The Sea God Statue Came to Life?

Seeing Tang San like this, Xiao Wu couldn't help asking, her heart aching for him:

"Third Brother, what's wrong?"

Tang San said angrily:

"The wisp of divine sense I left on Xiao Qi was disturbed—and even wiped out!"

He couldn't help roaring:

"Impossible! How could anyone in the lower realm have stronger divine sense than me? Who was it?"

In his view, the damage to his mind was a minor matter. The real problem was that the script he had arranged for Douluo Continent had now undergone a tremendous change.

Without that imprint of divine sense to protect her, wouldn't his daughter be like a meat bun thrown to a dog, gone for good?

At the thought, his face grew very grim.

He turned to Xiao Wu and said:

"Xiao Wu, I intend to investigate what's happening in the lower realm. Xiao Qi may be in danger."

Xiao Wu nodded worriedly.

With Xiao Qi's safety at stake, she had no reason to stop him.

Meanwhile.

At Shrek Academy.

On the main battlefield, no matter how strong You Rooster and Mao Rabbit were, they were forced to retreat again and again under the combined pressure of Shrek Academy's many elders.

Zhulong in particular had the courage and might to stand against ten thousand men.

The only one injured was Taotie Douluo, Xuan Zi.

He had borne the brunt of the attack.

Those damned You Rooster and Mao Rabbit! Why did they single me out?

Xuan Zi's mouth was full of blood, several of his ribs were broken, and his face was swollen like a pig's head.

Meanwhile, Mu En, who was protecting Shrek Academy, noticed someone approaching him.

Bei Bei and Tang Ya were bringing Huo Yuhao straight toward Mu En.

"Great-great-grandfather, Bei Bei has something to report."

Mu En raised a hand and lifted the three of them over to his side.

Mu En asked, "Bei Bei, what is so urgent?"

Bei Bei told him everything about Huo Yuhao's encounter with Wu Horse, leaving nothing out.

Mu En frowned.

Would Wu Horse really be so kind?

He asked:

"Young friend Huo Yuhao, may I ask whether everything Bei Bei said is true?"

Feeling the powerful presence before him, Huo Yuhao nodded.

Then he took out the letter of recommendation for Shrek Academy. "This is the letter of recommendation Senior Wu Horse gave me."

Mu En took the letter and examined it, finding that it had indeed been issued by Shrek Academy.

He sighed and said:

"In that case, young friend Huo Yuhao will enter the outer academy and study alongside you and Bei Bei from now on."

Huo Yuhao couldn't help feeling delighted at those words.

I didn't expect a letter of recommendation from someone in the Zodiac Temple to work too!

Shrek was quite broad-minded.

What he didn't expect, however, was that Mu En alone was broad-minded.

Bei Bei was also astonished.

He hadn't expected his great-great-grandfather to actually agree to let little Yuhao enter the academy.

Tang Ya nodded happily as well:

"Little Yuhao, we can study together in the outer academy from now on."

Huo Yuhao nodded.

Compared with the three happy children,

Mu En was more preoccupied with the purpose of Wu Horse's appearance.

He had agreed to let Huo Yuhao enter the academy because he wanted to keep this unstable factor, who might be under the Zodiac Temple's influence, right under his nose.

Why did Wu Horse go out of his way to treat Huo Yuhao, a child of ordinary talent?

Was it simply out of kindness?

He didn't think so. In his view, the Zodiac Temple must have another plan that he hadn't seen through.

As he saw it, Huo Yuhao carried traces of many powerful beings.

Even so, as an old man, he had no need to press Huo Yuhao for answers at a time like this.

He would simply consider it taking in a promising student for Shrek.

At the center of Shrek Sea God Plaza stood several statues of the Shrek Seven Devils from ten thousand years ago.

The most prominent among them was the stone statue of Sea God Tang San, revered by the people of the continent.

At that moment,

space rippled beneath the statue.

A black-robed man wearing a cartoon mouse mask said irritably:

"What took you so long?"

Si Snake and Wu Horse, who had appeared with him, said indifferently:

"As long as the mission gets done, what's the rush?"

An utterly wicked smile spread across Zi Rat's face.

"Of course I'm in a hurry!"

"Who wouldn't want to shout that slogan when the time comes?"

"Keep watch for me."

With Si Snake and Wu Horse standing guard, Zi Rat took a deep breath.

He pressed his palm against the statue of Sea God Tang San, and an exceedingly mysterious power suddenly poured into it.

This was the Rat Talisman's most basic effect, known as Turning Stillness into Motion.

It could restore still objects to their original life.

Zi Rat laughed wildly and shouted:

"Rise again, my Sea God!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the enormous statue began to tremble violently.

Under the heaven-defying effect of the Rat Talisman, a vast divine might awakened, shaking all of Shrek Academy.

The statue was actually coming to life.

Sensing that powerful divine power, Mu En's expression changed:

"This is bad. Something has happened inside the academy!"

Zhulong, Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and the others felt their hearts jump as well.

Zhulong shouted angrily:

"You Rooster, Mao Rabbit, so your target was inside the academy all along!"

"What are you plotting?"

Mao Rabbit said lazily:

"We came to do a good deed. Don't go slandering us."

You Rooster also said coldly:

"We'll leave it at that this time. We'll fight again when we have the chance. You're good, much stronger than Xuan Zi."

Xuan Zi's face turned livid:

What did he mean, much stronger than me?

However, the people from Shrek knew that what was happening inside the academy was more important, so they followed Mu En back into Shrek Academy.

"Is that Lord Sea God?"

The towering figure had appeared in Shrek Academy's plaza.

Everyone was stunned.

When did the Sea God descend?

Had the Zodiac Temple's invasion angered Lord Sea God?

If Bei Bei had been excited and fervent when he saw Mu En and Zhulong earlier, the instant he saw the Sea God, his heart was even more devout.

Huo Yuhao was also stunned by the sight.

Was that really a god in front of me?

In his Sea of Consciousness, Electrolux was likewise shocked.

"Is this a god of Douluo Continent?"

"But why does he feel a little strange?"

Sea God Tang San held the Sea God Trident, brilliant blue divine light bursting forth as his long hair moved without wind. He shouted angrily:

"What rebels dare attack my Shrek Academy?"

A beam of blue divine light capable of obliterating everything then struck toward the two members of the Zodiac Temple.

In the sky, You Rooster and Mao Rabbit instantly turned into professional actors. You Rooster shouted:

"This is bad! The Sea God has descended!"

"You're lucky today. We'll spare you."

Mao Rabbit shouted as well:

"They're too tough! The Sea God must have left something in reserve. Retreat!"

In an instant, You Rooster and Mao Rabbit's bodies turned illusory.

Space rippled, and the two vanished without a trace.

Thanks to Si Snake's ability, neither of them had suffered any harm, and their presences had vanished without a trace as well.

The Zodiac Temple had come very suddenly, and its retreat was just as bizarre.

Everyone was utterly bewildered.

They started with a tiger's head and ended with a snake's tail. What on earth did the people of the Zodiac Temple want?

Just as the members of the Zodiac Temple retreated in defeat,

two enormous figures suddenly appeared above Shrek Academy.

Da Ming and Er Ming arrived in an instant, their figures radiating a ferocious presence.

Er Ming roared:

"Which blind fool dared hurt Xiao Qi? I'll have your dog life!"

Halfway through his roar, Er Ming saw that Shrek Academy was on high alert, with its many powerful experts gathered together.

But what shocked him and Da Ming even more was Sea God Tang San, standing in midair between heaven and earth, a trident in his hand.

He had actually descended to the lower realm?

Could it be that a god meant Xiao Qi harm?
