Xuan Zi, Master of Courting Death, and a Glorious Exit Ceremony
Unlike a certain Taotie Douluo who wishes to remain anonymous, Jing Hongchen doesn't only arrive late after the students have had an accident.
He had been prepared for this to happen from the very beginning. The reason he didn't show up immediately when Xuan Zi appeared was to let Xuan Zi completely provoke the Star Luo Empire, putting Shrek on the opposite side of the Star Luo Empire.
Now that the goal has been achieved, Jing Hongchen will certainly not stand idly by.
"Jing Hongchen?!"
Upon seeing Jing Hongchen, the expressions of Xuan Zi and the Titled Douluo of the Star Luo Empire all changed.
Especially those Titled Douluo from the Star Luo Empire, according to the information they received, the only teachers in charge of leading the team from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy this time were Old Ma and Zhang Lexuan. Was Jing Hongchen secretly accompanying and protecting them all along?
Having a top-tier Rank Nine Soul Engineer accompany you seems like an overreaction.
But Xuan Zi's actions are a direct slap in the face to the Star Luo Empire, which is responsible for organizing this Soul Master Competition!
Jing Hongchen greeted everyone very politely, then looked at Xuan Zi with a smile and said.
"It seems that my decision to accompany them this time was correct. Otherwise, the teachers and students of our Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy would have been subjected to extremely unequal treatment, or even harmed by a Super Douluo- level powerhouse."
Jing Hongchen's words made the faces of these Titled Douluo turn extremely ugly, and even Xuan Zi glared at him angrily.
Would Xuan Zi do something like bullying the weak?
At most, after taking Zhang Lexuan and Ling Luochеn away, they would teach those little guys a small lesson, which could be considered harming them.
Seeing that Xuan Zi was about to refute, Jing Hongchen didn't give him the chance at all and deliberately raised his voice.
"Xuan Zi, Zhang Lexuan and Ling Luochеn are now members of our Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy. Their withdrawal from the Shrek Academy was entirely voluntary. Does Shrek Academy intend to disregard their wishes and forcibly abduct them?"
"If you want to fight, I can go with you. But I don't want it to be here, because I'm not like you. I don't want our fight to hurt innocent people!"
Jing Hongchen's words echoed in the ears of everyone present, causing the audience's feelings to become quite complicated, and their longing for the Shrek Academy diminished even further.
Even Jing Hongchen, a member of the Sun Moon Empire, knew to consider their feelings and not want to harm them. However, Xuan Zi, a powerful figure from the Shrek Academy, immediately wanted to fight the other Titled Douluo without any regard for their lives. The difference was immediately apparent.
Xuan Zi could hear the whispers of the people below, which made him even angrier.
However, the habit he had developed over two hundred years made Xuan Zi too lazy to explain to those weaklings. He simply snorted coldly as he looked at Jing Hongchen.
"If you're going to fight, then fight! Stop wasting time talking!"
Jing Hongchen turned to look at the Titled Douluo of the Star Luo Empire and asked with a smile.
"The students in our college shouldn't be treated unfairly or harmed, right?"
Star Shattering Douluo gave Jing Hongchen a deep look and nodded expressionlessly.
"With us here, it won't happen."
"Then I'm relieved. Let's go, Xuan Zi, let me see the strength of your Godly Taotie Bull."
As Jing Hongchen sped towards the city's outskirts, she extended an invitation to Xuan Zi.
Xuan Zi gave Zhang Lexuan and Ling Luochеn a cold look and chased after him.
"Stomping you toad to death is no problem!"
After Jing Hongchen and Xuan Zi left one after another, at Xu Jiawei's instruction, Prime Minister Star Luo Empire announced the official start of the round-robin tournament.
But the lively scene from before was gone. Xuan Zi's actions had cast a shadow over everyone's hearts, and the illusion of the Shrek Academy had completely vanished.
Seeing this scene, Xu Jiawei on the city wall shook his head slightly and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
'If Mu En knew what Xuan Zi had done, I wonder how he would react.'
Xu Jiawei also studied at the Shrek Academy. Or rather, his purpose in going to Shrek was to make more friends with geniuses and try to bring them to the Star Luo Empire. Unfortunately, Shrek Academy's brainwashing skills were unparalleled on the continent, and few who joined the Inner Court were able to leave Shrek Academy.
Xu Jiawei also knew that the reason Shrek Academy was able to stand firm was because of the existence of Mu En, the Ultimate Douluo.
However, he was certain that the previous incident with the Death God Envoy had already made Mu En very dissatisfied with Xuan Zi.
If it weren't for the fact that no other strong person could be found to replace him, Mu En probably wouldn't have allowed Xuan Zi to continue appearing.
Now look what's happened! In just a few minutes, Xuan Zi has accomplished the feat of completely destroying the public's image of Shrek Academy. If Mu En finds out about this, he might not be able to resist taking action against Xuan Zi himself.
Xu Jiawei shook his head inwardly.
'With such high-ranking officials, how could Shrek not fall? Let me, a former student of Shrek, contribute to your disgrace and give you a most glorious exit ceremony!'
Xu Jiawei has made his decision: he will find a way to help Shrek survive to the end and clash with the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy at the last moment, so that they can take the championship away from them!
In addition, as Xu Jiujiu had told him, he had already made connections between Leng Qiuyu and the people from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy. There will be a good show to watch during the finals.
The thought of Leng Qiuyu stepping forward to expose Shrek Academy's true Evil Soul Master and their actions filled Xu Jiawei's eyes with amusement.
Just then, after drawing lots, the host gestured to Xu Jiawei and announced loudly through the soul-guided megaphone he carried.
"Shrek Academy vs. Yunluo Academy, a one-on-one elimination tournament will be held. Please send out your first player to compete."
After returning to the preparation area, Bei Bei, the team captain, looked at Wang Yan and said in a deep voice.
"Teacher Wang, I'll go."
After a moment's hesitation, Wang Yan shook his head.
"Since the opposing academy is Soul Engineer, then He Caitou be the best choice. Moreover, Xuan Zi's actions just now have already drawn countless enemies to our Shrek Academy. Only by using a stronger student to defeat them with thunderous means can we make things easier for us later."
"He Caitou, the first match is in your hands."
Without the slightest hesitation, He Caitou nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, Teacher Wang Yan, I'll take care of it."
As He Caitou stepped onto the field, not a single cheer erupted, a stark contrast to the electrifying scene when Shrek made his first appearance.
Whether it was He Caitou, or Wang Yan, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and the others, their moods became very heavy.
' Xuan Zi, Xuan Zi, do you know just how serious the impact your actions have had on Shrek?'
Huo Yuhao, on the other side, was also watching this scene. He watched as everyone's perception of Shrek underwent a dramatic change, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
Xuan Zi truly lives up to his reputation as the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult; he's a master at courting death!
