As the Heavenly Curtain played to this point, it automatically revealed the appearances of Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament.

It's finally here!

What a cursed fate! Brother Mu, I have wronged you.

Watching the Heavenly Curtain, an elderly man far away in the Sun Moon Empire let out a sorrowful sigh.

He was tall, with silver hair combed back impeccably. His complexion was as rosy as a baby's, and his long eyebrows hung down along both sides of his face.

He was none other than Long Xiaoyao, the Dragon Emperor Douluo known as the Dark Dragon Emperor.

That incident from back then had left him with lifelong regret.

Evil Forest—Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters.

Ye Xishui, the Holy Spirit Cult's Supreme Elder and Death God Douluo, looked at the Heavenly Curtain with a complicated expression.

She remained silent for a long while.

At last, she sighed inwardly. "I was the one who harmed Brother Mu. Was that buried truth finally going to be made public?"

[One possessed the Light Holy Dragon Martial Soul, while the other bore the Dark Holy Dragon Martial Soul. The only Soul Master in that tournament capable of contending with the two of them was a woman named Ye Xishui.]

The appearance of an outsider's perspective did not interrupt this monologue that belonged solely to Dragon God Douluo Mu En.

Instead, it highlighted once again just how extraordinary the three of them were!

[Xiao Yao really was more handsome than me, but when it came to Soul Power, I was still a step ahead of him.]

[His Dark Holy Dragon Martial Soul was naturally opposed to my Light Holy Dragon Martial Soul, yet we did not hate each other because of it. Instead, we admired one another and became rare, true friends.]

[Xi Shui was beautiful and powerful. She was the only female Soul Master whose cultivation could barely contend with mine. From the moment I first saw her, I felt drawn to her.]

[After the tournament ended, the three of us graduated separately and began traveling across the continent.]

[During an operation to wipe out Evil Soul Masters, Xiao Yao and I happened to strike from two different directions at the same time. Only after we had dealt with every Evil Soul Master did we realize it was each other.]

[For a moment, we burst into laughter, and from then on, we became friends.]

[From then on, Xiao Yao and I traveled together, making our way across the continent under the name of the Black and White Twin Holy Dragons. We even gradually developed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill! Our Martial Soul attributes were clearly opposites, yet once combined, they complemented each other perfectly and produced astonishing results! At that time, light and darkness achieved Martial Soul Fusion!]

[My relationship with Xiao Yao grew closer and closer, and we became friends who could talk about anything. Then one day, we encountered Ye Xishui, the powerful female Soul Master from the Soul Fighting Tournament.]

[From then on, the Black and White Twin Holy Dragons gained a powerful and confident girl. That period was the happiest time of my life. The three of us fought side by side across the continent, punishing evil and upholding justice. It seemed as if nothing in the world could stop our advance.]

[Just like that, ten years passed. At the age of twenty-eight, I broke through to become an eight-ring Soul Douluo and, with my teacher's help, obtained my second Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.]

"So beautiful..." Xiao Xiao, a new student who had just arrived at Shrek Academy to register, looked at the scenes appearing on the Heavenly Curtain with deep admiration.

Without question, everything in the monologue so far was Mu En's beautiful memory.

Nor was it only Mu En's beautiful memory; it was also a beautiful memory shared by Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui.

Thus, many among the watching crowd empathized with it and envied it.

It was a yearning for beautiful things!

For example, little girls like Xiao Xiao put themselves in Ye Xishui's place.

Meanwhile, some boys imagined themselves as Mu En or Long Xiaoyao.

Especially since Mu En had become a Soul Douluo at twenty-eight and possessed no fewer than two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings.

That talent was simply heaven-defying!

No wonder he was the legendary Dragon God Douluo!

Tch. A bunch of inexperienced kids. A group of two men and one woman could never last long.

Watching the many new students at the registration area gaze longingly upward, an Inner Court senior passing by scoffed inwardly.

That was the experience of someone who had been through it.

Once, in a three-person team he had formed, there had also been a close brother and a female friend he secretly liked.

But later, his good brother and the girl he had secretly loved ended up together.

Overwhelmed by grief and anger, he chose to leave the team and cut off all contact with the two of them.

Every extra second he stayed in that team was another moment of torment.

Still, this senior student only dared to grumble inwardly.

After all, the one on the Heavenly Curtain was the Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy, the legendary Dragon God Douluo—Mu En!

If a student like him dared to say such things in his own academy, he would probably be asking for a beating.

It's about to turn into a melodramatic love triangle! Poor Mu En...

After finishing registration and walking out of the freshman teaching building, Shao Zhuang glanced at the point currently being revealed on the Heavenly Curtain and could not help sighing.

As someone with a godlike perspective who had planned the Heavenly Curtain, he naturally understood their life trajectories incomparably well.

Mu En... how should he put it? He really had it rough.

Ye Xishui had utterly ruined him.

Yet he had been strong enough to rise from that blow and reach the pinnacle of humanity!

Moreover, Mu En was one of the few people in Shrek Academy who had not been shackled by its ten-thousand-year glory and had remained clear-headed.

He had wanted to reform the academy and develop Soul Tool Technology...

Unfortunately, Shrek Academy was too massive to change course easily, and he did not have much time left, so he had been unable to transform Shrek Academy completely.

Once Long Xiaoyao's monologue and Ye Xishui's monologue are revealed next, I wonder what Mu En will think. Shao Zhuang suddenly thought with a touch of malicious amusement.

Mu En had been kept in the dark about what happened next. Although he noticed some clues later and wanted to find Ye Xishui to uncover the truth,

it was already too late, both in terms of time and his own condition.

Long Xiaoyao, meanwhile, had only understood part of it and willingly sank into it. Ye Xishui alone knew everything.

[I knew that Xiao Yao liked Xi Shui too. But I was confident that, with my talent, I would surely win Xi Shui's favor.]

[Sure enough, when the two of us confessed to Xi Shui at the same time, she was first startled by the sudden gesture. Only after hesitating for a long time did she make her final choice.]

[That's right, Xi Shui chose me!]

[I still vividly remembered the pained expression that appeared on Xiao Yao's face. Though we had agreed before confessing that no matter the outcome, we would still be good brothers.]

[Xiao Yao still chose to turn and leave, walking away without looking back. While I chased after him, I also had to take care of Xi Shui, and in the end, I failed to catch up.]

[I did not know where Xiao Yao had gone. No matter how Xi Shui and I searched across the continent, we could not find any trace of him.]

[During that entire year of searching for Xiao Yao, Xi Shui and I did not forget to support the weak and eliminate Soul Masters. As a couple, we roamed the continent and became leading figures among the younger generation of the Soul Master world.]
