Severely Injure Xuanzi!

Hearing Gu An's words, Mu En nearly laughed in anger.

The corners of his wrinkled face twitched uncontrollably.

A ten-thousand-year spirit bone or a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone, plus the Dragon Core in his hand.

Not even a wish could be granted so brazenly.

Did he really take Shrek Academy for a soft target?

Did he think they would surely agree to such an exorbitant demand!

Mu En's mouth moved, but before he could speak, Xuanzi could no longer hold back.

His complexion turned iron-gray, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

A violent aura erupted from his body, nine spirit rings lit up instantly, and the pressure belonging to a rank-98 Super Douluo crushed down toward Gu An without reservation.

"Little brat!! You're courting death!!"

"What do you take my Shrek Academy for?!!"

His voice carried undisguised killing intent.

Gu An stood behind Leng Yaozhu, inhaling her alluring fragrance, completely unfazed by the oppressive force rushing toward him.

This is what safety feels like!

He stared straight at Xuanzi, his eyes devoid of fear, filled only with killing intent.

"An old thing who neglected his duty and caused the death of eight students has no right to speak."

Gu An's words rang clearly in the ears of everyone present.

"Having a teacher like you is truly the tragedy of Shrek Academy."

Xuanzi's pupils dilated sharply.

The muscles on his face began to twitch uncontrollably.

His breathing became heavy and ragged, like a beast that had been thoroughly enraged.

This was the pain he could never erase from his heart.

It was the scar he dared not face and the one he least wanted anyone to mention in his entire life.

For so many years, he had only been able to numb himself with food to cope with his sorrow!

Now!

A little brat had torn the wound wide open in front of everyone, even rubbing coarse salt into it.

With bloodshot eyes, the aura radiating from Xuanzi became even more violent and chaotic.

His voice was filled with malice, spitting out the words one by one from his throat.

"You. Are. Courting. Death!"

The words had barely fallen when a cold, clear voice rang out.

"I think the one courting death is you."

Leng Yaozhu stepped forward, icy flames burning within her phoenix eyes.

"You still want to lay a hand on Xiao An right in front of me."

"You truly don't hold me in any regard."

She had no intention of holding back.

"Fifth Spirit Skill! Phoenix Cry in the Nine Heavens!"

The Heavenly Phoenix Martial Soul behind Leng Yaozhu suddenly spread its wings, the massive, fiery-red plumage nearly obscuring half the sky.

The Heavenly Phoenix raised its head, opened its beak, and let out a cry.

"Skree—!"

Invisible sound waves forcibly surged into Xuanzi's brain.

A mental attack combined with a sonic attack, carefully avoiding everyone else.

Xuanzi felt as if that cry, once it entered his ears, was like a stirring rod.

It pierced through his eardrums, drove into his brain, and began to churn inside his mind.

He clutched his head with both hands, his ten fingers digging fiercely into his scalp.

His nails embedded into his flesh, and blood seeped out from between his fingers.

"Ah!!!!"

The excessively powerful mental shock caused Xuanzi to tremble uncontrollably, and he crashed to his knees on the ground.

His eyes bulged outward, his pupils vibrating frantically in their sockets, as if he were enduring some unbearable agony.

Blood flowed from his seven orifices, a truly terrifying sight!

He kept his mouth agape, a rattling sound emanating from his throat.

Screams rang out one after another, each more shrill than the last, echoing across the Soul Fighting Zone.

The surrounding students were all stunned, every single one of them trembling in fear.

Mu En's hands gripped the armrests of his wheelchair tightly. "Stop!"

"Stop at once."

"I agree to your demands."

Leng Yaozhu heard him, but she did not stop immediately.

The phoenix cry continued for several more breaths before slowly fading away.

The Heavenly Phoenix Martial Soul retracted its wings, returning to a state of calm.

Leng Yaozhu lowered her head, looking down at Xuanzi, who was curled up on the ground and covered in blood.

Then, she shifted her gaze from Xuanzi and swept it across the several elderly masters whose faces were twisted with suppressed killing intent.

Leng Yaozhu did not care at all; there were plenty of people who wanted her dead, and these few made no difference.

"Know your place."

"If you dare to lay a hand on my Xiao An again..."

"None of you will survive!!"

Every word was imbued with undisguised killing intent.

No one doubted the sincerity of her threat.

Every single high-ranking member of Shrek Academy felt a chill run down their spine.

They finally understood exactly how important that little boy was to this Limit Douluo.

He was her reverse scale; whoever dared to touch him would die!

Only after Leng Yaozhu had completely stopped did Zhuang Yusen dare to move.

He hurried to Xuanzi's side, knelt down, and placed his hands on Xuanzi's back.

The Tree of Life Martial Soul manifested behind him, and emerald light surged from his palms, slowly pouring into Xuanzi's body.

Xuanzi's trembling gradually ceased, but he remained curled up, letting out weak groans.

The bleeding from his nostrils and ears had stopped, but the blood on his face remained, looking shocking to behold.

However, Zhuang Yusen's expression did not relax.

He had only healed the internal and external injuries; Xuanzi's sea of consciousness had suffered heavy damage that could not be recovered in a short time.

On the other side.

Mu En's hands trembled slightly as he took several boxes from his storage soul tool.

He had never suffered such humiliation in his entire life; how could his hands not tremble?

Yet, he still retrieved the boxes and waved his hand.

The boxes flew toward Leng Yaozhu.

"This is what you wanted."

Mu En's voice was filled with exhaustion; when one is not as strong as the opponent, one must endure.

Powerless rage would only lead to more deaths.

"Ten ten-thousand-year soul bones, and the Dragon Core."

He paused, his voice dropping even lower.

"Take the items and leave my Shrek Academy at once."

Mu En did not want to see these people for even another second.

He did not even want to see Zhou Yi, who had caused all of this.

His gaze swept over Zhou Yi, who was still slumped on the ground, his eyes filled with undisguised disgust.

If it weren't for this foolish woman, how could Shrek Academy have suffered such humiliation today?

Gu An took the boxes and opened one, revealing a dark green soul bone inside, emitting a faint glow.

He opened the second, the third...

He checked them one by one.

The quality of the ten-thousand-year soul bones was excellent, and their age was sufficient.

When the last box was opened, a fist-sized orb lay quietly inside.

Golden-red light swirled across the surface of the orb, and the faint phantom of a small dragon could be seen swimming within.

The Dragon Core.

Gu An gathered all the boxes and tucked them away.

Then, he looked up at Mu En, the corners of his mouth curling high.

What a joke.

Coming here and obtaining these items had all been incidental.

Whether it was the ten ten-thousand-year spirit bones or the Dragon Core, they were all pleasant surprises.

His purpose in coming to Shrek Academy had never been to vent frustration on Xiao Xiao's behalf.

The origin of the world was the top priority.

Gu An looked at Mu En, the smile on his face fading, replaced by a solemn expression.

"The matter of compensation is settled."

His voice was steady and unhurried.

"But now, as her older brother, I intend to properly vent some frustration for my sister."

He raised his hand and pointed toward the side of the Soul Fighting Platform, where Huo Yuhao had just climbed up from the ground, covered in dust.

He then pointed toward Wang Dong, who stood beside Huo Yuhao with a pale complexion.

"Those two are named Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, correct?"

Gu An's voice turned cold.

"They were clearly my sister's teammates, her comrades-in-arms."

"Yet, they actually joined that old hag in accusing my sister."

"Do you think I can tolerate that?"
