Declaration of War
The Elite Soul Master Tournament lasted for over a month.
The most talked-about topic isn't who won or lost the game, or who had a highlight performance.
Instead, the Clear Sky Sect took advantage of the Sea God Pavilion's absence and raided Shrek.
It is said that most of Shrek's walls were destroyed.
With Shrek as its pillar, the Clear Sky Sect indeed ascended to the position of the number one sect in the world.
However... this reputation is not a good one.
As soon as the Soul Master Tournament ended, Mu En didn't linger and led the Shrek Academy team members back to Shrek.
After some encouragement and praise, Mu En entered the Sea God Pavilion and saw Xuan Zi kneeling before him.
Although Xuan Zi was still a mess, he no longer smelled of alcohol and food as much as before.
Upon seeing Mu En enter, Xuan Zi didn't make any excuses, "Mu En, I accept the punishment!"
"I failed to keep an eye on Shrek; I tarnished Shrek's honor!"
Mu En never expected that Xuan Zi, who was half-buried in the ground, would still be crying his eyes out in front of him.
"Mu En, punish me as you please. I'll do whatever you ask! I want to do something for Shrek, I want to atone for my sins..."
When Xuan Zi failed his first mission, he could find an excuse for himself, saying that he was careless.
After the second mission failed, Xuan Zi already felt somewhat guilty. However, he was too proud to admit his status and lose face.
Three times in a row, Xuan Zi truly realized that he was a useless good-for-nothing who couldn't do anything right!
To be honest, Mu En didn't really blame Xuan Zi. Although the mission failed, the outcome was still good.
However, letting Xuan Zi go like this would clearly be missing an opportunity for Xuan Zi to repent and start anew.
"Get up first, we'll discuss your punishment later. I have other matters to attend to right now."
Having said that, he used his Soul Power to capture Xuan Zi, then flung him out of the Sea God Pavilion.
With another wave of his hand, the gates of the Sea God Pavilion slammed shut.
After clearing out all irrelevant people, Mu En began his performance.
He looked solemn, his eyelids lowered, and he prayed earnestly.
"Ancestor Sea God, regarding the Clear Sky Sect's surprise attack on Shrek Academy, Mu En has pondered for over a month, yet remains uncertain about the future."
"Shrek and the Clear Sky Sect should have been of one mind and supported each other, but Shrek has suffered this great calamity."
"Although Mu En is the Sea God Pavilion Master, he cannot suppress the anger of every Elder and teacher. And... Mu En is indeed resentful."
"If we were to swallow our anger now, Shrek would likely lose all face and its glory..."
To put it simply, Shrek got beaten up, and I, Mu En, want to get revenge by attacking the Clear Sky Sect. As their nominal leader, are you going to let me have my way?
Tang San had a terrible headache. Mu En had been 'thinking' for over a month, and he had been thinking for over half an hour as well.
As for Shrek, Mu En really needs to get revenge. Otherwise, the Clear Sky Sect will not only fail to gain any benefits but also cause a lot of trouble, and Shrek's reputation will suffer a severe blow.
A moment later, Mu En opened his eyes, and a slow, upward curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Now, we can finally test the limits of those two Soul Beasts.
Swish~
The Sea God's Light shot into the sky from the Golden Ancient Tree, spreading and covering the entire Shrek City in the blink of an eye.
Mu En's voice echoed from the horizon.
"All members of Shrek Academy with Title Douluo or above, proceed to the Sea God Pavilion for a meeting!"
--
Before long, a message spread at an astonishing speed.
The Sea God Pavilion Master the Shrek Sea God Pavilion is preparing to attack the Clear Sky Sect to demand justice for Shrek!
The challenge has been issued. The time is three days from now!
[Bright and Shiny: Is Shrek about to unleash his fists?]
[Reader: I've heard that the two sect leaders of the Clear Sky Sect are a Limit Douluo and a Super Douluo. Can Shrek handle this battle?]
Despite being a member of Shrek and having access to firsthand information, Wang Yan's knowledge as a mere Soul Ancestor is still quite limited.
[Du Busi: Ha, the fact that Mu En dared to declare war means he's absolutely certain of victory.]
[The Great Sage Equal to Heaven: That's right! To put it bluntly, even if Mu En really can't beat those two beasts, Tang God King will let him win. Shrek's reputation is much more important than the Clear Sky Sect. Don't you agree, Dong'er?]
[Xiao Qi: Get out of here!!]
Shen Yichen's face scrunched up as he tugged at Zhang Lexuan's sleeve. "Sister Lexuan, is there really something wrong with the way I chat?"
Zhang Lexuan chuckled and nodded gently.
"Wait a minute, if there's something wrong with me, then why do you, Sister Lexuan, Sister Xiaotao, Auspicious Beast, and even Little Ice all get along so well with me?"
Zhang Lexuan's eyebrows and eyes are curved, and her eyes seem to speak volumes.
"Because, little one, you're so cute!"
In layman's terms... the modeling freak thinks he's got it all figured out!
People tend to be exceptionally patient with things that are beautiful, and exceptionally tolerant of things that are in their infancy.
This led to the situation where, although Ice Empress hated Shen Yichen much she wanted to grind her teeth, she would still eagerly come to him at his beckoning, putting on a disgusted yet helpless expression.
"Hiss~" So, Xiao Qi isn't interested in me because... she's never seen my face before?
Could it be that I really have no skills in flirting?
"Alright, little one, pack your things. It's time to say goodbye to Qiuqiu and Yu Tianlong."
After the Soul Fighting Tournament ended, Shrek had to leave in a hurry due to other matters. Most of the remaining teams allowed their students to explore the foreign land for a few days.
However, the contestants from the Sun Moon Empire were clearly not well-received in Heaven Dou City.
They stayed for only one day before preparing to return to the Sun Moon Empire.
At the gate of Heaven Dou City, Nan Qiuqiu and the others watched Shen Yichen companions slowly disappear into the distance.
Actually, they had already said their formal goodbyes yesterday, but...
Nan Qiuqiu ran a few steps after Shen Yichen's retreating figure, her bun bobbing as she shouted, "Shen Yichen!!"
"Hmm?" Shen Yichen turned around and saw Nan Qiuqiu's red face with tears welling up in her eyes.
"Please don't leave..."
These words seemed to trigger a reflex etched into Shen Yichen's DNA, and a question blurted out instinctively, "If I don't leave, will you support me?"
Teng~
The little girl's face flushed red, and her mind went blank.
Shen Yichen's lips curled up, he raised his right hand, waved, and gave her a dashing back view.
"Go back. In five years at most, I'll come to Dragon City to find you. Cultivate diligently, and I'll take you to the Shrek Academy to make a name for yourself!"
Zhang Lexuan said with a smile, "The little guy can occasionally say a few good things!"
"Yichen, I can take care of you, okay?" Di Qiu'er said earnestly, raising her head.
"Ugh~" Ice Empress shuddered. "Shen Yichen, you're disgusting!"
Meng Hongchen joined in the fun with a grin, "You'll take care of me!"
Xiao Hongchen frowned, his face falling like a kitten's. "Stop wasting time, let's go!"
Snow Empress remained silent, but her earlobes turned slightly red, secretly sulking. The blush on the face of this 700,000-year-old girl spoke louder than words...
