Sea God Pavilion Elder Appears!

"War?"

Gu An tilted his head, the corners of his mouth curling upward to reveal an undisguised sneer.

"Does your Shrek even deserve to?"

"Don't try to scare me with some half-dead old thing."

Yan Shaozhe's pupils constricted sharply.

Gu An raised a hand to point at Zhou Yi, his gaze icy.

"It was your Shrek that attacked my sister first, trying to ruin her future."

"As her brother, am I supposed to just sit by and watch?"

He spread his hands, his expression filled with the indignation of someone whose "little sister had been bullied."

The anger was perfectly measured.

As for Xiao Xiao, who looked so cute and naive, she had already scurried over to Gu An and Leng Yaozhu on her short legs the moment Leng Yaozhu released her aura.

Hearing Gu An say the word "sister," she lowered her head right on cue.

Gu An raised his hand, placed it on her head, and gently ruffled her hair.

She kept her head slightly bowed, blinking those large eyes of hers. Traces of tears from earlier still lingered in her eye sockets, glistening in the sunlight.

Her eyelashes were long and curled, fluttering as she blinked, which, paired with her round, chubby face, made her look incredibly obedient.

Sure enough, despite Xiao Xiao's usual harmless and innocent appearance, she was a natural at acting.

Gu An's mouth twitched slightly.

But he quickly resumed his expression of a brother fiercely protective of his sister.

Not to mention, even though Xiao Xiao was actually older than Gu An, she was petite with a slender frame.

Her entire build wasn't even as large as Gu An's.

Standing together like this, with Gu An's hand on her head and her head slightly bowed, they really did look like a brother protecting his sister.

Watching Gu An's arrogant display, the muscles in Yan Shaozhe's face twitched uncontrollably.

A mere brat.

A brat who looked only eight or nine years old.

To actually dare stand on Shrek Academy's grounds, right in front of him, the Dean, pointing at a Shrek Academy teacher and hurling insults, mocking the entire academy.

He clenched his fists, his knuckles popping.

If not for the Limit Douluo standing behind him being so powerful, he would have made this brat learn the meaning of manners.

A strong intuition surged in Yan Shaozhe's heart.

This brat was absolutely lying.

What kind of nonsense siblings were they? One had black hair and black eyes, the other green hair and green eyes; their facial features didn't share a single resemblance.

They were likely just playing at being siblings to stir up trouble.

However, it was true that Shrek Academy hadn't specifically investigated Xiao Xiao's family background.

A genius with twin martial souls, and they hadn't even performed a background check.

If they had known earlier that Xiao Xiao possessed twin martial souls, and if they had known she had such a Limit Douluo backing her, how could they have let Zhou Yi ruin her like that?

In the original story, it was only after Zhou Yi forced a hundred-year soul ring onto Xiao Xiao's second martial soul that the higher-ups at Shrek Academy learned of it.

But by then, the damage was done; the twin martial souls were already ruined.

They wouldn't have bothered Zhou Yi over a ruined twin martial soul anyway.

After all, Zhou Yi's teaching record spoke for itself, and firing her would have been a greater loss.

Yan Shaozhe took a deep breath, suppressing the fury in his heart, and opened his mouth, preparing to say something else.

He could not let the situation deteriorate any further.

Shrek Academy's reputation could not be lost.

Just as his lips parted to speak, an aged laugh drifted over from the entrance.

"Hehe."

Mu En's figure appeared at the entrance of the Soul Fighting Zone.

He sat in a wheelchair with a gray blanket draped over his knees, his hands folded atop it.

The two wheels of the wheelchair turned slowly.

He raised his head, a faint smile hanging on his aged face, his cloudy eyes revealing an expression of having everything under control.

Mu En's gaze fell upon Leng Yaozhu, looking her up and down before shifting to Gu An.

"Though this old man is half-crippled,"

"I am still capable of keeping this little child here."

A smile remained on his face, his tone light.

Gu An's expression did not change in the slightest.

Could it be? Leng Yaozhu's phoenix eyes sharpened.

The faint chill in her beautiful eyes instantly transformed into bone-piercing killing intent the moment Mu En finished his sentence.

An aura, even stronger and more oppressive than before, erupted from her body.

Her fiery red hair danced wildly, and her robes snapped in the wind!

The ground beneath her feet cracked and spiderwebbed in every direction with her at the center!

She took a step forward.

Just one step.

Her aura, as if it had become tangible, bore down upon Mu En in his wheelchair.

Threatening Xiao An to her face?

"You're courting death!"

A cold glint flashed in Leng Yaozhu's eyes; she showed no hesitation and no mercy.

Mu En's expression shifted slightly.

He had not expected this woman's temper to be so explosive.

Nor had he expected that little boy to be so important to her.

He had merely spoken a probing remark, yet she had immediately unleashed her full strength.

Mu En's face turned stern as he forcibly channeled his power, and an equally vast aura surged from his aged body.

A vigorous dragon's roar emanated from him.

At the same time, a clear, resonant phoenix cry rang out from Leng Yaozhu.

Dragon's roar! Phoenix cry!

They collided in the air, the shock forcing the surrounding students to cover their ears.

The erupting shockwave swept outward in all directions from the two of them.

The railings at the edge of the Soul Fighting Platform hummed and rattled from the impact.

The students who hadn't managed to leave were pushed back repeatedly by the shockwave, with several falling flat on their backs.

Yet, amidst this chaos, one person was overlooked by everyone.

Huo Yuhao.

He had been lying on the ground unconscious, and no one had noticed him.

When the shockwave swept over, he was sent flying, rolling across the ground several times before coming to a stop with a dull thud.

The intense pain jolted Huo Yuhao awake.

He struggled to open his eyes, his vision a blur.

He felt as though his body were falling apart.

Gritting his teeth, he forced himself to prop his upper body up, inch by inch, using his hands against the ground.

When his gaze drifted toward the two figures locked in a standoff, His expression changed drastically, filled with disbelief.

His heart skipped a beat.

It was those two from the Star Dou Great Forest.

He would never forget those two faces for the rest of his life; Huo Yuhao's breathing grew rapid.

Oh no, this is bad!

How could they have come to Shrek Academy? Are they here for me?

As soon as this thought surfaced, he dismissed it himself.

If they were truly here for him, they could have easily snatched him away while he was unconscious.

Yet, he was still lying here perfectly fine.

He did not know that he had actually guessed wrong.

Gu An and his group had come specifically for Huo Yuhao.

It was only because of the incident with Xiao Xiao that they had temporarily set Huo Yuhao aside.

Huo Yuhao's gaze was locked firmly onto the two people confronting each other in the arena.

The aura radiating from that woman was even stronger than anything he had felt in the Star Dou Great Forest.

When he saw the old man sitting in the wheelchair also radiating an aura no weaker than the woman's, Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded.

No way, the old man is actually this strong?!

And all the other elders rushing over from the surroundings—the soul power fluctuations on every single one of them were unfathomable.

"So strong," he muttered to himself, "too strong."

His fists clenched involuntarily, his fingernails digging into the flesh of his palms; the pain kept him clear-headed.

In a corner of his heart, a small flame was ignited.

One day, he would also become a powerhouse like this.

He had to become one.

However, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a hint of anticipation appeared on his pale face.

These two fellows, who had been so incredibly arrogant in the Star Dou Great Forest, were simply courting death by coming to Shrek Academy to run wild.

Even if this woman was strong, Shrek Academy had even more powerhouses.

One against ten—there was no way she could win.

With Huo Yuhao's current knowledge and perception, he could only make such a simple numerical comparison.

The more people there were, the stronger they were.

Therefore, he watched the arena with great anticipation, waiting to see these two get humbled.

Just at this moment.

Apart from Mu En, who had arrived the fastest, the other elders of the Sea God Pavilion also arrived one after another.

Figure after figure flew in from different directions, landing behind Mu En.

Zhuang Yusen, Lin Huiqun, Xuanzi, and Song Yunzhi stood in a row behind Mu En.

They released their martial souls simultaneously, and circles of soul rings rose from beneath their feet.

Yellow, purple, black, and red—soul rings of various colors shone in brilliant contrast.

Four auras at the Title Douluo level erupted at once, merging with Mu En's aura to meet Leng Yaozhu's pressure head-on.

"Elder Mu, we have come to assist you."

Xuanzi said coldly, his gaze like lightning as he stared at Leng Yaozhu.

Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion had mobilized in full force.

And it wasn't over yet; several more Title Douluo auras were rushing in from within Shrek!

Leng Yaozhu stood in front of Gu An, her gaze sweeping over Mu En and then over the elders behind him.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

Within her phoenix eyes, there was not a trace of fear.
