Xuan Zi's body trembled involuntarily, and a look of panic appeared on his face.
Although the other Sea God Pavilion Elders showed no obvious change in expression, a flicker of surprise passed through their eyes as well.
In their memories, Mu En had always been refined and gentle. When had he ever cursed like this?
"How many Super Douluo does the Sun Moon Empire have that this matter was so urgent you had to abandon the students still competing and rush back to report to me?"
"Wouldn't Shao Zhe, who returned before you with Ma Xiaotao and Huo Yuhao, have told me?"
Looking at Xuan Zi's cowering appearance, Mu En's anger rose ever higher, as did his voice.
Even his once-kind expression had become faintly twisted.
"I clearly said before that it would not matter even if this Shrek Team failed to win the championship."
"But what about you?"
"You were afraid of bearing responsibility for Shrek Academy failing to win the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Tournament for the first time in a thousand years, so you abandoned the team members and slunk back alone."
Mu En's furious voice echoed through Sea God Pavilion, and everyone lowered their heads involuntarily.
"What has upheld Shrek Academy's honor has never been the damned championship of the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."
"It is the spirit of 'never abandon, never give up' left behind when Grandmaster and the other sages founded Shrek Academy ten thousand years ago!"
"Xuan Zi, if you could abandon those students who failed to win today, then once I die, I fear there will be nothing in Shrek Academy that you would not dare to abandon!"
Mu En's words were incredibly harsh, and Xuan Zi's face had already turned deathly pale.
"Elder Mu, I... I only... I..."
