Methods of Response
Therefore, under these dire circumstances, Xuan Zi convened the so-called Sea God Pavilion Meeting once again.
However, compared to the past, the strength of the participants in the current Sea God Pavilion Meeting is clearly much weaker.
Mu En died, Yan Shaozhe fell into depravity, Elder Song died in battle, Cai Mei'er left, Xian Lin'er became a cripple, and Qian Duoduo also left Shrek Academy... Several more Titled Douluo had fallen on the battlefield.
The losses were devastating, and the former glory was gone forever.
Shrek Academy, once a top-tier power, has now fallen to the bottom of the first-rate ranks, with Xuan Zi holding it up entirely on his own.
Without Xuan Zi, Shrek Academy would only be a top-tier second-rate school.
Seeing the familiar Sea God Pavilion, now only a few unfamiliar faces, Xuan Zi felt an unprecedented sense of melancholy and sadness.
Even someone as carefree as him couldn't control his emotions at this moment.
He truly didn't know if he could persevere and continue to support Shrek Academy, allowing the next generation to grow up.
He hadn't understood why Mu En insisted on having him leave behind the child so that the bloodline and Martial Soul could be passed down, but only now did he truly understand.
Perhaps, only in this way will the academy have hope.
It has to be said that the environment can really change a person.
Xuan Zi has now taken on a rare responsibility.
Ning Que was amazed when he saw this.
If things continue as they are, and Tang San lends a helping hand, Xuan Zi might actually grow into the divine being worthy of being the Sea God Pavilion Master.
But this wasn't the outcome he really wanted.
Therefore, Xuan Zi should accept his fate.
"Faced with the Sun Moon Empire's invasion, what should Shrek Academy do next?"
Xuan Zi steadied himself, then looked at everyone and asked the key question about how to deal with his current predicament.
Upon hearing Xuan Zi's words, the scene fell into a deathly silence.
They really didn't know what to do.
The previous battlefield demonstrations clearly showed them that the power of the Sun Moon Empire exceeded their expectations.
Not only the Soul Engineer Legion, but also their Level 9 Soul Engineer, displayed a power that Shrek Academy could not currently withstand.
Unless there is Titled Douluo with Ultimate Attribute within the Shrek Academy, and one whose cultivation has reached the Limit Douluo.
But achieving something like this is never that simple.
Among the students of the Shrek Academy, there are indeed three at the Limit Douluo level.
However, given the current situation, there are many things they are unaware of.
Ye Guyi, Huo Yuhao, and Su Tong all possess Ultimate Attribute. Among them, Ye Guyi and Huo Yuhao are currently participating in the battlefield, and they might actually be able to turn the tide of the battle and resolve the current situation.
The question is, why?
Why did they get involved? Why were they willing to give everything for the Shrek Academy?
Xuan Zi had intended to morally blackmail Ye Guyi with the eternal glory of the Shrek Academy, but the other party consistently ignored him. Moreover, with Ning Que, that freak, around, he really didn't dare to do so.
Not only Xuan Zi, but everyone at the Shrek Academy was also at a loss as to how to deal with this situation.
If they knew how to handle it, this meeting wouldn't be happening now.
"Xuan Zi, can you... can you contact the Lord Sea God?"
"Or perhaps we should seek help from the Clear Sky Sect or Sea God Island?"
Ultimately, some people proposed a solution they believed could be found.
The protection of the Sea God was the last hope in their hearts.
It was with this thought and idea in mind that they were determined to fight the Sun Moon Empire to the death.
They believed that the Lord Sea God would not abandon them.
"This..."
Xuan Zi fell silent.
He genuinely didn't know how to respond.
If he could contact the Sea God, he wouldn't feel so powerless.
As for the Clear Sky Sect and Sea God Island, he had sought their help long ago, but had never received any response.
"Ning Que, do you have any solutions?"
Ultimately, Xuan Zi had no choice but to seek help from others.
Even though he disliked Ning Que very much, he couldn't deny that Ning Que was very intelligent.
Of all those present, if anyone could resolve the current crisis, it would be Ning Que.
Moreover, Ning Que's decision to return at this time and his willingness to stand with the Shrek Academy was enough to earn Xuan Zi's goodwill towards him.
Ning Que did not reply immediately, but pondered for a moment.
After a long silence, he finally spoke.
"We need to prepare for two scenarios. First, we must immediately leverage Shrek Academy's influence to gather former Shrek Academy students and unite them to resist the invasion of the Sun Moon Continent."
"I don't think they don't understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold' (meaning that one's life is intertwined with another's)."
"If Shrek Academy falls into the hands of the Sun Moon Empire's army, one can only imagine what awaits them."
"In addition, we need to prepare for the worst-case scenario and preserve the Core Flame of the Shrek Academy."
"..."
Subsequently, Ning Que devised a series of corresponding methods for the Shrek Academy.
In this process, it seemed that everything was for the good of the Shrek Academy, but many pitfalls were actually planted in the process, creating a deep hole that would completely sever the colossal Shrek Academy.
Of course, he still wanted to use this incident to ascertain Tang San's current condition.
This timing is extremely crucial.
Whether it's the Sun Moon Empire's invasion or Huo Yuhao's impending ascension to godhood, both are crucial for Tang San, so he's very likely paying attention to the Douluo Continent.
That's why I took the current action.
"Let's do it your way!"
Upon hearing Ning Que's plan and arrangements, Xuan Zi was immediately filled with fighting spirit, and he felt confident that he could succeed again.
Given Shrek Academy's influence on the Douluo Continent over the past ten thousand years, it will surely possess the same terrifying appeal as it did thousands of years ago, enabling it to form an allied army to resist the Sun Moon Empire.
Besides that, their greatest hope and reliance still rested on Lord Sea God.
They believed that the Lord Sea God would not abandon them.
This Sea God Pavilion Meeting thus came to an end.
After that, Ning Que stopped getting involved, as if nothing concerned him anymore, and continued to quietly improve his strength and enhance his abilities.
The Sun Moon Empire launched a full-scale invasion, and in just over two months, it had already defeated the Star Luo Empire's imperial city and annexed a large amount of land and cities.
They should have marched with unstoppable momentum toward the other two great empires, but instead changed course at the last minute and headed straight for the Shrek Academy.
