Smashing Shrek's Place

"Ninth Soul Skill, Heaven-Shaking Rhino Roar!"

Mountain-Prop Douluo opened the engagement by unleashing his ninth soul skill immediately, while Ning Yunfan, Sect Master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, mobilized his Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda at once to provide full-force support.

Shi Jian's ninth soul ring, obtained from a hundred-thousand-year Mountain-Shaking Giant Rhino, granted him two formidable soul skills: one for aggressive assault and one for defense.

His offensive skill, Mountain-Shaking Rhino Roar, channeled the power of the hundred-thousand-year soul ring into his massive shield, emitting a heaven-shaking roar that could shatter an enemy's meridians upon impact.

Any Title Douluo below level 96 would be injured the moment they touched it.

With the added support of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, even a level 97 Title Douluo could be killed in a single exchange—and that was without him even activating his Martial Soul Avatar.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"

"Eighth Soul Skill, Heaven-Swallowing Earth-Devouring!"

Facing such a tyrannical attack, Xuan Zi did not hesitate, immediately activating his own Martial Soul Avatar.

He attempted to use his unique devouring power to neutralize this overwhelming soul skill from Mountain-Prop Douluo.

The truth was that the range of this soul skill was simply too vast; if he did not block it head-on, the entire Shrek Academy would suffer devastating damage.

"BOOM!"

As a dull, thunderous explosion echoed over Shrek Academy, an invisible force rippled outward between heaven and earth, destroying everything in its path.

The disturbance was so great that the other Title Douluo of Shrek Academy were forced to intervene to mitigate the impact.

A mere two people had forced the majority of Shrek's elders to take action.

Most importantly, Xuan Zi, who had faced Mountain-Prop Douluo directly, now had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

In a single exchange, he had been suppressed.

Although this was due to the support of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, Xuan Zi had to admit that even in a one-on-one fight, he might not be a match for the man before him.

And one had to remember, he hadn't even activated his Martial Soul Avatar yet!

"I never imagined the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect was hiding a powerhouse like you!"

Xuan Zi stared fixedly at the man before him, feeling a flicker of fear; he realized he was not this man's equal.

But the thought of his martial uncle immediately restored some of his confidence.

"You aren't qualified to speak with me. Tell that old fossil Mu En to come out!"

Mountain-Prop Douluo ignored Xuan Zi entirely, his tone dripping with arrogance.

A single exchange had been enough for them to gauge each other's strength.

Even without the support of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, his own strength was enough to defeat Xuan Zi.

As for the level 99 Mu En, he truly wasn't certain of victory.

But he could certainly try.

He had come prepared, bringing along two Soul Saints who also possessed Seven Treasures Glazed Pagodas.

When two Seven Treasures Glazed Pagodas supported a single person, their attributes could be amplified and stacked; while this consumed more soul power and carried the risk of backlash and tactical constraints, it was not a problem for Mountain-Prop Douluo.

His greatest asset was his tyrannical physique.

Having two pagodas support him simultaneously allowed him to amplify single attributes or split the focus to boost different ones; in a sense, the power of this amplification was in no way inferior to the legendary Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

If it weren't for the fact that he was the only one in the sect over the last ten thousand years capable of withstanding the backlash of such amplification, the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect could have looked down upon the entire continent based on this alone.

Mountain-Prop Douluo wanted to test if, under the support of two Seven Treasures Glazed Pagodas, he could use his level 98 strength to challenge a level 99 Limit Douluo.

Thus, casting aside his previous plans, he blurted out the secret that Mu En was still alive.

"You..."

Hearing this, Xuan Zi was instantly incensed. He instinctively prepared to strike again, determined to teach this man who dared to slander Shrek Academy a lesson.

Even if it meant risking his life, he would uphold the dignity of Shrek Academy.

"Xuan Zi, step down!"

Just then, amidst a flicker of light, an aged figure appeared behind Xuan Zi. His tone was gentle and kind, yet it carried an unquestionable, overbearing authority.

The man who arrived was none other than one of the three great Limit Douluo of the current age, known by the title Dragon God: Mu En.

He had not appeared for so many years that the world assumed he had passed away; no one expected that this man had been hiding within Shrek Academy for so long.

"A level 99 Limit Douluo still exists within Shrek Academy! Send this news back immediately!"

"The guardian Douluo of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect defeated a fellow level 98 Title Douluo in a single exchange..."

Within Shrek City, various factions had been monitoring the battle in the sky. When Mu En appeared, their expressions shifted drastically, and they hurriedly relayed the information to their respective organizations.

The existence of a Limit Douluo was enough to shift the balance of the continent and alter how every faction approached Shrek Academy.

"I never thought that little brat from back then would grow to such heights. I haven't heard a word of you in years; I truly thought you had fallen."

"To think that at the end of my days, I would be fortunate enough to see an old friend. It is a blessing for this old man."

Mu En looked at Shi Jian and spoke softly, his clouded eyes filled with memories of the past.

When they first met, it was on the eve of his decisive battle against Du Bisi. Even back then, this little fellow had already achieved extraordinary things. Mu En had even tried to recruit him into Shrek Academy, only to be refused.

The next time news of Shi Jian reached his ears, thirty years had already passed; it was said that he had fallen in battle while protecting his sect's disciples from a group of exceptionally powerful Evil Soul Masters.

Mu En had even felt a sense of regret at the time.

Never had he imagined that he would have the fortune to meet him again today.

"Senior Dragon God, there are some principles I have no desire to discuss, nor am I inclined to waste my breath on them—let us settle this with a fight first!"

"As for the aftermath, the Sect Master and your Shrek Academy can settle the accounts later!"

Seeing Mu En appear, Shi Jian reined in his arrogance somewhat.

There was a full hundred-year gap between them, and having witnessed the Dragon God Douluo in his most spirited prime years ago, Shi Jian still afforded him the respect he was due.

"Why must it come to this?"

Mu En sighed softly.

Although he remained within the academy year-round, he naturally paid some attention when such matters occurred.

Mu En was very clear on the ins and outs of this situation; all things considered, Shrek Academy had been played.

The crux of the matter was that had Shrek Academy responded with even a modicum of normalcy, they would not have been manipulated to such an extent.

This was a loss they had to swallow, whether they liked it or not.

"Fight!"

"Seventh Soul Skill, Avatar of the Martial Soul, Eternal Black Rock Shield!"

Shi Jian did not waste more words, immediately unleashing his Martial Soul Avatar.

At the same time, two Soul Saints possessing the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda martial soul provided their full support.

They had come today specifically to find a pretext, an excuse to bully others.

Why bother with the etiquette of not ganging up on someone?

Was this not the very logic that Shrek Academy loved to preach?

As a Soul Master, you must take every possible situation into account.

The many Title Douluo of Shrek were instantly enraged at the sight.

Xuan Zi, in particular, felt his heart stir restlessly as he watched the three of them gang up on Mu En.
