"What's this? Dean Yan, are you planning to kill me to silence me and cover up Shrek Academy's ugly true face?"
Faced with Yan Shaozhe's pressure, Ning Que showed no fear at all.
Not only that, he continued to provoke him.
To be honest, if Xuan Zi had been the one making a move, Ning Que really would have been wary, afraid that the other man might kill him in a fit of rage.
After all, whatever Xuan Zi did could be considered normal behavior for him.
But a level-95 Yan Shaozhe simply did not have the qualifications.
Even if the man went mad and tried to attack him, he would not be able to kill him instantly.
That only made things more interesting.
The three people standing with Ning Que turned pale with fright upon hearing his words.
Directly provoking a Super Douluo.
Was that something they could afford to be involved in?
"A-Que, don't blame your brother for lacking loyalty. This matter is just too big. My scrawny frame can't bear it!"
"Don't worry. I owe you one today. Someday, I'll definitely find a way to make it up to you."
As Gongyang Mo murmured softly, he quietly put some distance between himself and Ning Que.
He was truly afraid!
Ning Que did not think there was anything wrong with that.
That was how it should be!
If he did not have backing or confidence, if he were merely an ordinary Support System soul master, then when facing a Super Douluo, forget provoking one with words—he would absolutely start groveling the moment he saw one.
Only after protecting oneself could one discuss anything else, right?
"Ning Que..."
Xi Xi opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but then saw Ning Que gently shake his head. Understanding dawned on her, and she quietly stepped aside as well.
Chen Zifeng, on the other hand, simply remained where he was. He did not move closer to Ning Que, nor did he show any intention of taking even half a step back.
Yet merely standing there was already another kind of declaration.
Ning Que did not say anything more about it.
He knew that this was Chen Zifeng's sword path, his conviction.
After today, perhaps he would gain quite a lot.
"You're courting death!"
Yan Shaozhe truly wanted to make a move now.
He had figured it out. Whether it was this group of little brats or the failed attempt to recruit Ye Guyi, each and every matter had been Ning Que's doing.
Now that Elder Mu had recovered, so what if they completely fell out with the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect?
He truly did not believe that Elder Mu would cripple him over this matter.
Even if he could not kill Ning Que, he would still turn him into a cripple.
"Shaozhe, you have disappointed me too much!"
At that moment, an aged voice slowly rang out.
The newcomer was none other than Mu En.
Even though it was only an avatar, his words alone suppressed Yan Shaozhe, a level-95 Super Douluo.
After all, this was within Shrek Academy. With the Golden Tree here, even an avatar of his could display formidable power.
"Teacher... I..."
Suppressed by a single thought from his teacher, Yan Shaozhe immediately grew nervous and hurriedly tried to explain himself.
If he had just crippled Ning Que and Elder Mu acted now, Yan Shaozhe would not say a word even if Elder Mu berated him or beat him half to death.
He would have considered it worth it.
The problem was that Ning Que was still standing there, entirely unharmed, and his actions had been witnessed by his teacher. Even if Elder Mu spared him afterward, he would still feel that he had come out at a loss.
"Xuan Zi, suspend today's matches. Resume the competition only after everyone has recovered from their injuries."
"After handling that, come to the Sea God Pavilion for a meeting!"
Mu En glanced at Xuan Zi, who was still gnawing on a chicken leg as though nothing had happened. Mu En wanted to reprimand him, but did not know what to say.
He was truly exhausted.
"Elder Mu, I'll handle it right away!"
Seeing that Mu En had appeared, Xuan Zi no longer dared say anything and hurriedly took action.
"Ning Que, why not attend the Sea God Pavilion meeting with me? I will give you a reasonable explanation for this matter."
Only then did Mu En turn to Ning Que, speaking in a gentle, kindly tone.
"Dragon God Lord, please wait a moment. Once my family arrives, I will go with them."
Ning Que was still willing to show this man sufficient respect.
Whether it was Mu En's reputation or his status as a Limit Douluo, he deserved to be treated accordingly.
Of course, Ning Que had also heard certain conspiracy theories concerning Mu En.
No matter how good the man's reputation was, Ning Que would not easily trust him completely. He would wait until the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect's Title Douluo arrived before proceeding.
If he did not have to gamble with his life, then he would not gamble with it.
"That is only proper!"
Mu En did not refuse. His eyes were full of appreciation and envy as he looked at Ning Que.
Why did Shrek Academy not have a child like this?
If Shrek Academy had someone so capable, someone who understood how to control people's hearts, then even if his strength were a little weaker and his talent somewhat worse, Mu En would still cultivate him with all his might and even make him the next master of Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion.
Although he had not paid much attention to this child, simply judging from the fact that Ning Que could easily mobilize the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect's Title Douluo, Mu En felt that even as a Support System soul master without great combat power, Ning Que could still firmly hold the position of Sea God Pavilion Master.
For one brief moment, Mu En even had the thought of poaching him.
But he quickly strangled that thought.
How could the heir nurtured by the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect possibly be poached so easily?
"Xuan Zi, invite those little friends to the Sea God Pavilion as well. This Sea God Pavilion meeting concerns them, and they need to know the full situation."
Mu En then made arrangements for the others.
Not only Ning Tian and Jin Sheng, but even the heavily injured He Caitou and the two teachers were invited to the Sea God Pavilion under Mu En's instructions.
Not long afterward, two Title Douluo arrived together.
They were the level-96 Crocodile King Douluo Jin Heng and the level-93 Title Douluo Yang Duo.
When returning to the academy this time, Thunder Eagle Douluo and Golden Tiger Douluo had not come along. They had other matters to attend to.
"A-Que, what happened?"
The moment Yang Duo approached, he saw Mu En and Yan Shaozhe in the distance. Without any hesitation, he immediately displayed his soul rings.
Part of it was youthful vigor, while the other part was his sharp, unrestrained edge.
So what if the other party was a Limit Douluo?
As a soul master, was he supposed to lack even the courage to fight merely because the other party was powerful?
Seeing a level-93 Title Douluo dare to display his soul rings before Elder Mu, Yan Shaozhe subconsciously wanted to speak. But Mu En shot him a look, and he could only swallow the rest of his words.
"Gentlemen, Shrek Academy was at fault in this matter. I guarantee upon my own reputation and Shrek's honor that we will certainly give you a satisfactory answer."
Only after seeing that everyone had arrived did Mu En speak.
