The Power of a Suspected God

"This Shrek Academy really is the greatest obstacle to my Sun Moon Empire's unification of the entire continent." After Zhong Liwu left, Xu Tianran looked at the Heavenly Curtain and sighed with emotion.

Even with the guarantees Zhong Liwu had made—that Shao Zhuang's assassination would be successfully completed—Xu Tianran still couldn't quite feel at ease.

After all, once these enemies realized the immense threat Shao Zhuang posed in the future, they would immediately launch sanctions, trying to eliminate him.

Then the forces led by Shrek Academy would inevitably do everything in their power to protect Shao Zhuang's safety.

To the Evil Soul Masters and everyone who wanted Shao Zhuang dead, Shrek Academy was truly an incredibly terrifying dragon's den and tiger's lair.

Aside from a large number of high-quality faculty and students, the elders in the Sea God Pavilion were each more astonishing than the last.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

For an enemy of this caliber, obstructing the Sun Moon Empire's unification of the continent, not to mention Xu Tianran, even the Sun Moon Empire itself had long ago sent spies to the original Douluo Three Kingdoms to gather intelligence.

Thus, a dedicated intelligence agency had been established to analyze Shrek Academy's combat strength.

What's more, now that they knew the Dragon God Douluo was still alive and had obtained the 'Hundred Year Longevity Gu' opportunity from the Heavenly Curtain, things had become even more troublesome.

Even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to storm Shrek Academy—that would be nothing short of suicide.

Therefore, the so-called assassination plan would most likely have to be carried out when Shao Zhuang left Shrek Academy.

Although the difficulty would indeed be much lower than inside the academy, there would certainly be Titled Douluo-level guardians following him everywhere.

Furthermore, given the importance Shao Zhuang had shown on the Heavenly Curtain, would Shrek Academy really let an unseasoned Shao Zhuang leave the academy to travel so early?

'I hope the Imperial Advisor and the others can succeed.' Even though Xu Tianran wasn't optimistic, he could only place his hopes on that group from the Holy Spirit Cult.

After all, the only ones who could realistically complete the assassination plan now were those from the Holy Spirit Cult.

The cooperation between the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult was complementary, making up for each other's shortcomings to the greatest extent.

So even if both sides were wary of each other, before unifying the entire continent, they were absolutely the best of allies.

"Hmph~ What a bargain for those people from Shrek Academy."

Having just left the Heavenly Soul Imperial Palace, Du Busi looked at the content on the Heavenly Curtain and couldn't help feeling jealous.

Amid his envy, he couldn't help sighing, "When will my Body Sect ever attain such a status?"

In the eyes of all soul masters under heaven, especially those from the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, Shrek was unquestionably a sacred ground!

Relying on that golden signboard, it attracted a flood of talented soul masters to enroll.

With a peerless prodigy like Shao Zhuang, Shrek hadn't done anything—he just came knocking on their door to enroll, didn't he?

Although the Body Sect's principle was to only recruit possessors of Body Martial Souls, it would be a lie to say they weren't envious.

For a soul master who could influence the direction of the continent, the Body Sect would be very willing to make an exception once.

Moreover, if the Body Sect had the same appeal and influence as Shrek Academy, how wonderful would that be!

In that case, all Body Martial Soul possessors under heaven would automatically join the Body Sect, instead of the Body Sect having to send out specialized disciples to search for them.

Unfortunately, thousands of years ago, they triggered the Beast Tide and were severely sanctioned by Shrek Academy, forcing them into seclusion until now.

As for when they would emerge and expand the Body Sect's influence, everything remained unknown!

The major powers certainly wouldn't want the Body Sect to come out and cause trouble.

Their morally ambiguous, self-willed way of doing things would indeed make other forces wary, especially after the Beast Tide incident back then.

Even the Heaven Dou Empire was the same—so the Body Sect would remain highly bound to the empire in the form of a Guardian Sect.

While Du Busi envied Shrek Academy and lamented his own sect, the monologue exposed on the Heavenly Curtain continued.

[The sanctions my Holy Spirit Cult launched against Shao Zhuang in alliance with the Sun Moon Empire were nothing short of a net spread across heaven and earth.]

[If Shao Zhuang had fled alone, with his bizarre abilities, he might have pulled it off; but he was so arrogant as to bring two burdens along with him.]

[So everything went as I expected. Under the pursuit of two Titled Douluo and a Beast King Level Soul Tool Master Legion of over a hundred men, even the extraordinarily monstrous Shao Zhuang, burdened with two dead weights, could only fight like a cornered beast!]

[But then an accident happened again! Before everyone's eyes, a powerful force erupted from within Shao Zhuang's body. Not only did it instantly kill the two elders my sect had sent, but it also annihilated the entire Beast King Level Soul Tool Master Legion of over a hundred men that the Sun Moon Empire had dispatched in support.]

[If it weren't for the Sun Moon Empire Soul Tool Master Legion that had rushed to reinforce witnessing all this from afar, anyone would have thought it was pure fantasy.]

[After all, a Soul Saint, no matter how monstrous, couldn't possibly unleash the power to kill two Titled Douluo and a hundred-man Beast King Level Soul Tool Master Legion!]

[This completely defies common sense! If that were really the case, then the Sun Moon Empire's plan to unify the continent could be abandoned.]

[But according to the survivors, after this power erupted, Shao Zhuang's figure vanished from the spot, leaving only Nan Shuishui and her daughter, along with Wang Qiuer, who had suddenly appeared.]

[Upon learning this information, I instinctively sensed something. I rushed to the place as fast as I could, and feeling the lingering residual power, my heart sank—the worst-case scenario had arrived!!]

[That power was indeed not Shao Zhuang's, but its source seemed even more troublesome. Based on my judgment as a Limit Douluo, I deduced that this was definitely power beyond the Limit Douluo level, and fundamentally different from the Soul Power we use.]

[Fundamentally different from Soul Power, surpassing the Limit Douluo—what in this world could achieve that?]

[The answer was without a doubt the legendary power of the gods!!]

[Only the power of the gods could do this!]

At this moment, the world was shaken.

An intensely heated wave of discussion erupted instantly.

Not only in the human world, but even among the Soul Beast forces.

After all, it involved the legendary gods—everyone wanted to know more, especially the strong.

Ten thousand years ago, after seven gods emerged from Shrek Academy, people on the continent realized that gods were not some ethereal legend.

Since then, all the strongest humans had sought the method to become gods, to become gods themselves and become the new legends!
