Whoever it is, I'm invincible anyway!

Shrek Academy, Sea God Pavilion.

Yan Shaozhe stood before that wooden door, his body trembling uncontrollably.

As the Dean of the Martial Soul Department at Shrek Academy, a Level 95 Super Douluo, he had long stood at the top of the pyramid in the Soul Master World. Yet, at this moment, knowing who he was about to meet, Yan Shaozhe was still very nervous.

"Hoo..."

Yan Shaozhe took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the miscellaneous thoughts in his heart, and adjusted his somewhat stiff facial expression, trying his best to appear respectful and composed.

No matter what, for the future of the academy, he had to take this step.

He bowed low, performing a grand salute to the closed door, his voice humble.

"Elder Mu... Shaozhe has an important matter to request an audience for."

There was no response.

Only the golden radiance overflowing from the crack in the door seemed to become even more blinding.

Time ticked by, each second an agony for Yan Shaozhe. After a long while, a voice finally came from within.

"Enter."

Yan Shaozhe's entire body trembled. Daring not to delay, he quickly pushed open the door and walked in.

The furnishings within the secret chamber were extremely simple, but at this moment, all items were bathed in a dazzling golden glow.

At the center of the radiance, a young man in white sat cross-legged, exuding an aura of Only I Am Supreme Under Heaven and Earth.

Radiant Mu En slowly opened his eyes, his golden irises devoid of any emotion.

"You had better pray that what you wish to discuss is truly an important matter."

His voice was light, yet it sent a bone-chilling coldness through Yan Shaozhe.

"If you interrupt my thoughts over trivial matters... even if you are Elder Mu En's disciple, I will not let you off lightly."

Yan Shaozhe's heart constricted violently. He quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet the other's gaze, and said hurriedly.

"Elder Mu, if it were not absolutely necessary, Shaozhe would never dare to disturb your cultivation. But this matter... truly concerns the safety of the entire continent, and directly impacts the continuation of our Shrek Academy's Ten Thousand Year Foundation!"

Radiant Mu En's eyes flickered slightly, but that was all. He continued to look at Yan Shaozhe coldly, awaiting his explanation.

Yan Shaozhe swallowed, organized his thoughts, and reported everything that had happened over the past two days by that mysterious small river outside Shrek City, without omitting a single detail.

Yan Shaozhe spoke extremely quickly and clearly throughout his account.

Finally, he changed the subject, drawing the focus to the greatest hidden danger--:

"The Beast God Di Tian in the Core Circle of Star Dou Great Forest, he is recognized as the leader of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts in the world today, with a cultivation of 890,000 Years."

"Di Tian has always viewed us humans as a thorn in his side, constantly wanting to revive the Soul Beast Race. If he were to learn of the existence of That River, and that it could Transform into Three..."

At this point, Yan Shaozhe's voice began to tremble.

"Three Di Tians descending upon Shrek City simultaneously, the annihilation of the entire Shrek Academy would be but a matter of a flick of the wrist. Humans would even be reduced to Blood Food for the Soul Beasts!"

"Elder Mu, we must grasp That River before the Soul Beasts do! Otherwise, humanity will face extinction!"

Yan Shaozhe's words were heartfelt, dissecting the pros and cons with utmost clarity.

However, Radiant Mu En did not slam the table in anger as Yan Shaozhe had expected, nor did he show the slightest bit of solemnity.

After a long pause, he let out a soft chuckle.

"Are you finished?"

Yan Shaozhe froze, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

"Elder, Elder Mu... what is this..."

"Yan Shaozhe, your memory seems to be rather poor."

Radiant Mu En slowly stood up.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze falling upon Yan Shaozhe, his tone indifferent.

"I recall telling you very clearly. I have only one condition—I will only act when Shrek Academy faces a 'Cataclysm'."

He withdrew his gaze, looking down at Yan Shaozhe.

"Now, I ask you, does Shrek Academy still stand? Have all the Students outside perished?"

"This..."

Yan Shaozhe opened his mouth, his face pale.

"The Academy is still here, of course, but..."

"Since it's still here, since it's fine, then why are you looking for me?"

Radiant Mu En interrupted him impatiently, a condescending coldness in his voice:

"So-called threats, so-called speculations, are merely the Worries of the Foolish Man born from the incompetence of you weaklings."

"But Elder Mu!"

Yan Shaozhe grew anxious and took a step forward.

"This is a disaster that is highly likely to happen! If three Di Tians really come knocking, it will be too late! When that time comes, the land will be devastated, and regret will be useless!"

"Too late?"

Radiant Mu En seemed to hear something extremely interesting. The mocking curve of his lips gradually widened, eventually turning into an extremely arrogant, extremely confident smile.

He suddenly turned around, and an aura that dominated the world erupted, shaking Yan Shaozhe's blood and qi, forcing him to retreat several steps before he could barely stand steady.

"If that Beast God Di Tian really Transforms into Three, and truly possesses the so-called God's Power..."

A look of absolute confidence and interest flashed in Radiant Mu En's eyes.

"That would not be uninteresting."

"I achieved Limit Douluo at the age of twenty. Since then, there has been no one invincible in this world. The strong people in this world are all like Clay Chickens and Pottery Dogs in my eyes, unable to withstand a single blow."

"If there were a few guys in this world who could make me feel troubled, I would really want to... have a good fight."

Yan Shaozhe was completely stunned.

Madman...

This was simply a complete madman!

He was actually looking forward to the enemy becoming stronger? He was treating the safety of the academy and even all of humanity as child's play?

Yan Shaozhe slowly lowered his head, his fists clenched tightly in his sleeves, his fingernails digging deeply into his palms. He was unaware of the blood seeping out.

His heart was filled with disappointment, anger, and resentment.

'If it were Teacher... If it were the real Elder Mu, if it were that old man who exhausted his last drop of heart's blood for the academy, he would never have said such bullshit!'

'This Guy is a scoundrel, a coward!'

The next moment, a golden light flashed, and a hand like a steel clamp gripped his neck.

Yan Shaozhe was fixed in mid-air by that hand, his feet off the ground.

Radiant Mu En held Yan Shaozhe with one hand, his handsome face very close, so close that Yan Shaozhe could clearly see his own pathetic reflection in his eyes.

"I... don't like being gossiped about and cursed in my heart."

Radiant Mu En's voice was very light, as if he had heard everything Yan Shaozhe was thinking.

Mind-reading?!

How is this possible?!

"You say I'm a scoundrel, a coward?"

Radiant Mu En's grip tightened slightly.

"Cough... cough cough... Elder Mu... spare... spare my life..."

Yan Shaozhe said with great difficulty, begging for mercy.

"Hmph."

Radiant Mu En snorted coldly and flicked his wrist.

"Bang!"

Yan Shaozhe was slammed heavily against the hard wall, emitting a dull thud.

He slid to the ground, clutching his neck and coughing violently, greedily gasping for air, tears and snot streaming uncontrollably, utterly pathetic.

"Cough cough cough cough--huff--huff--"

Yan Shaozhe's entire body was soaked in cold sweat, trembling uncontrollably.

Too strong... he's truly too strong... that kind of power, I couldn't resist it at all!

"If you dare to do it again, I will kill you."

Radiant Mu En didn't even glance at Yan Shaozhe on the ground.

"Scram."

Yan Shaozhe trembled all over, scrambled to his feet, not daring to linger for even a moment, nor daring to harbor any resentment in his heart.

He ran out in a sorry state.

If this continues, what will become of Shrek Academy?

Will Shrek Academy... truly be destroyed in my hands?
