Feed the Douluo!

"You brat, are you trying to lecture me now!"

Xuan Zi spat the chicken bone from his mouth to the side, then picked up his wine gourd and tapped it lightly against Mu Guiyun's head a few times.

"How does life in the outer courtyard feel? With your talent and looks, you must have attracted quite a few young girls, right?"

Xuan Zi's eyes were full of teasing, and he even let out a geigeigei laugh.

"You old man should worry about yourself instead."

Mu Guiyun's eye twitched uncontrollably, and he retorted without giving any face: "Speaking of which, with such a powerful martial soul as the Godly Taotie Bull, when do you plan to pass it on?"

As soon as Mu Guiyun said this, Xuan Zi's face turned beet red. He stood there stammering for a long time, looking quite at a loss.

"You brat, you're becoming more and more boring."

After dropping that line, Xuan Zi moved, transforming into a streak of earthy-yellow light, and vanished from the spot in an instant.

Heh, let's see you try to tease me again, just watch how I roast you back!

Regarding Xuan Zi, Mu Guiyun felt a mix of love and hate. If he were like others, acting solely for his own benefit, it would be one thing, but this old guy was stubbornly loyal to Shrek Academy.

Mu Guiyun would bet that if the academy were attacked by a Fixed Soul Guidance Cannonball, this old guy would definitely be the first to step forward to protect it.

"Looks like I have to pay a visit to my teacher."

Changing his mind, Mu Guiyun turned and walked toward the Sea God Pavilion.

It was currently the afternoon, and the inner courtyard students were either in class, cultivating, or away on missions for the Monitoring Group, leaving Sea God Island somewhat empty.

"As expected of the continent's number one treasure, the Golden Ancient Tree. I wonder if I can create a resonance with it after awakening my wood element?"

Gazing at the Golden Ancient Tree that towered into the clouds before him, even though he had seen it countless times, Mu Guiyun still felt deeply awestruck.

"Come to think of it, Ah Yin should be sleeping at the roots of the Golden Ancient Tree right now, right?"

Mu Guiyun narrowed his eyes subconsciously, then walked into the Sea God Pavilion.

Following the route in his memory, Mu Guiyun stopped in front of a wooden door. Just as he was about to knock, a gentle voice that felt like a spring breeze sounded quietly: "Little one, come in."

Hearing this, Mu Guiyun straightened his expression, pushed the door open gently, and bowed respectfully toward the room: "Teacher, your disciple has come to visit you."

Walking into the room and looking at the withered old man on the wheelchair, who looked like a piece of dead wood, Mu Guiyun was filled with mixed emotions, and an indescribable sense of sorrow surged into his heart.

Mu En, once a peerless powerhouse who shook the world, was now like a skeleton in a tomb.

When he had first transmigrated, Mu Guiyun was still in a swaddle when he was discovered by Mu En, who eventually brought him back to Shrek Academy and had him raised in turns by the families of Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er.

"Child, you are still the same; your emotions are easily influenced by other things."

Mu En smiled gently, like a kind old grandfather.

Glancing at the sunny weather outside, Mu En beckoned to Mu Guiyun and laughed: "Push me out for a walk. Now that I'm old, I should soak up more sun."

"Yes, Teacher."

Mu Guiyun stepped forward and pushed Mu En slowly out of the Sea God Pavilion.

The beautiful scenery on Sea God Island stirred memories in Mu En's eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh: "More than two hundred years have passed, and the scenery of this Sea God Island is still breathtaking."

Mu Guiyun, walking behind him, smiled without replying.

Mu En didn't have much time left. Rather than sighing at the scenery of Sea God Island, it was more that he couldn't let go of the obsession in his heart.

The name Shrek could be said to have spanned Mu En's entire life.

Oh, and perhaps Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao as well.

One had played Mu En for a fool, and the other was even more outrageous—he had directly cuckolded Mu En.

It could only be said that Long Xiaoyao was truly Mu En's lifelong nemesis; even Mu En's current paralysis had a great deal to do with him.

A long time ago, Long Xiaoyao had offended the then-sect master of the Body Sect, Du Bisi, for some unknown reason.

As luck would have it, Long Xiaoyao was in seclusion at the time. The desperate Du Bisi thought, If I can't find you, I can still find your brother!

Then, in a fit of rage, he led his men to slaughter their way to Shrek.

Mu En, who had just become the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, didn't know what had gotten into him, but the moment he heard Du Bisi wanted to kill his good brother, he refused to stand for it.

Even though Xiaoyao stole my woman and gave me a green hat, he is still my good brother for life!

If you want to kill Xiaoyao, you'll have to step over my dead body!

And so, the two level-98 Super Douluos fought. The final result was that Du Bisi was thoroughly dead, and Mu En had been struck by his life-bound poison, leaving him near death.

In the very end, Mu En tried to take the opportunity to absorb a Dragon Core to extend his life and break through to Limit Douluo. Although he succeeded, the residual hostility in the Dragon Core left him paralyzed...

After learning of this, Long Xiaoyao felt guilty and hadn't dared to see Mu En for decades.

After all, his good brother had almost died for him, while he himself was living a shameless life with Mu En's woman...

It could only be said that Ye Xishui was an accident, while Long Xiaoyao and Mu En were the true love.

Such a dramatic scene—Mu Guiyun had thought it was some wild history at the time, but Yan Shaozhe told him it was true...

If one really had to talk about who was the most impressive, it had to be Old Ghost Zhongli. He didn't know what kind of concoction he had used on Ye Xishui to make two peerless geniuses so infatuated with her.

The old man and the young man walked aimlessly across Sea God Island like this, with Mu En recounting the past and Mu Guiyun listening quietly behind him.

It was nothing more than the old man recounting how, in his youth, he punched Long Xiaoyao, kicked Du Bisi, and eventually satisfied the crowd of fangirls obsessed with him...

Old people, after all, just love reminiscing about the past when they have nothing better to do.

Suddenly, Mu En shifted his tone and asked, "Have you met that little girl from the Tang Sect?"

Mu En's words caught Mu Guiyun off guard, but he answered truthfully, "I have, Teacher."

Mu En chuckled, his cloudy eyes now radiating an unusual glow: "What is your impression of her?"

Impression?

Mu Guiyun blinked, the image of Tang Ya clutching a giant chicken leg and devouring it frantically gradually surfacing in his mind.

"Hmm... she's a rather simple-minded little girl."

After pondering for a long time, Mu Guiyun finally gave a relatively fair assessment.

To put it nicely, that was called simple; to put it bluntly... she was just stupidly adorable.

After all, a contender who could be bought with a single meal couldn't exactly be considered a genius.

Hearing this, Mu En smiled again, gazing at the Golden Ancient Tree not far away, his tone tinged with a hint of regret: "Once the number one sect on the continent, to have fallen to such a state—truly, fate plays cruel tricks."

"Guiyun, do you understand the reason for the Tang Sect's decline?"

"Of course. Although the world believes it was the emergence of the Soul Tool that caused the downfall of the Tang Sect, which was famous for its hidden weapons..."

Mu Guiyun's expression turned serious as he pointedly added, "But ultimately, it was that group of people blindly adhering to ancestral traditions, causing the Tang Sect to miss one opportunity for reform after another."
