Shrek Has Grown a Brain, but Only a Little

Xu Sanshi is going crazy.

He couldn't even imagine what kind of fate awaited his mother at the hands of those Evil Soul Master!

When he was hunting the Death God Envoy before, Xu Sanshi had witnessed firsthand how Evil Soul Master treated women.

He also knew very well that women in high positions could inspire a sense of conquest in many men.

The more noble a woman is, the more captivating the contrast becomes when she falls into depravity.

His mother is a princess of the Dou Ling Empire and the wife of the Profound Nether Sect Master. With such a prestigious status, she will likely become the most sought-after person instantly. Countless Evil Soul Master will flock to her, willing to do anything to get the chance to trample on her.

The thought of that possibility made Xu Sanshi's heart bleed. He wished he could rush to the Dou Ling Empire right now and kill all those rampant Evil Soul Master!

Unfortunately, given his abilities, going there would only mean certain death.

Moreover, the most likely scenario is that once those Evil Soul Master of the Holy Spirit Cult learn of his identity, they might come up with even more cruel methods.

For example, by destroying his Martial Soul, causing Xu Sanshi to lose all his Soul Power and become a cripple, he could watch helplessly as the noble princess of the Dou Ling Empire was brutally trampled upon.

That's why Xu Sanshi rushed to the Sea God Pavilion immediately, begging Mu En, Xuan Zi, and Yan Shaozhe, the higher-ups of the Shrek Academy, to spare his mother's feelings and rescue her from the demon's lair.

Upon hearing Xu Sanshi's plea, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion exchanged bewildered glances, not daring to offer any opinion.

Besides the fact that Mu En had taken all the power back, more importantly, after experiencing various setbacks, they had all grown some sense and knew that in this situation, no matter what choice they made, there would be a price to pay.

With the Shrek Academy's current strength, it is simply not qualified to deal with the Holy Spirit Cult. If it insists on causing trouble for the Holy Spirit Cult, it will only result in heavy casualties for them.

But if they don't agree, then Xu Sanshi, this genius, will completely lose his loyalty to the Shrek Academy, and may even choose to leave Shrek Academy like other students!

Such a student, with exceptional talent and whose family has been wiped out, is exactly the kind of student Shrek Academy needs!

So, let's think of a way to fool Xu Sanshi first.

Thinking of this, just as Yan Shaozhe was about to say something, Mu En, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly spoke first.

"Get up, Sanshi."

Xu Sanshi raised his head, his face covered in a mixture of tears and snot, looking utterly miserable.

"Mu En, please, please help me! As long as you can rescue my mother, I will do anything you ask without hesitation!"

Mu En sighed deeply, stood up and walked to Xu Sanshi, helping him up and speaking earnestly.

"I am deeply sorry that such a thing happened in the Dou Ling Empire. I will say it again: Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult are sworn enemies! We will absolutely not stand by and watch them run rampant on the continent!"

"You can focus on your studies at the academy. I will personally go to the Dou Ling Empire and, no matter the cost, I will definitely rescue your mother from those guys in the Holy Spirit Cult!"

Upon hearing this, after a brief moment of stunned silence, Xu Sanshi, overjoyed, suddenly knelt on the ground, his knees hitting the ground with a dull thud.

"Thud—"

"Mu En! Waaah... Thank you so much! I will never forget your kindness! From this day forward, Xu Sanshi life belongs to the academy! I am willing to give my life for the academy if needed!"

When Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and the others saw that Mu En had agreed to Xu Sanshi's request, their expressions changed drastically. They wanted to persuade Mu En to reconsider, as those guys from the Holy Spirit Cult were not people that Shrek could afford to offend at their current level!

However, Mu En merely glanced at them indifferently, which silenced everyone.

While comforting Xu Sanshi, Mu En sighed inwardly that although Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe had become smarter than before, they were really only a little bit smarter.

With Mu En's influence, wouldn't it be easy for him to ask for a woman who is insignificant to the Holy Spirit Cult? In any case, he only promised Xu Sanshi to rescue his mother, not to save the entire Dou Ling Empire.

As long as Mu En speaks up, not only Long Xiaoyao, but even Ye Xishui would absolutely not refuse his request!

However, in order not to damage his image in the eyes of the younger generation, Mu En still looked at Xu Sanshi in front of him and explained.

"Sanshi, you know that Shrek Academy is no match for the Holy Spirit Cult right now. Even if I and Xuan Zi risk our lives, we will have no way to save the Dou Ling Empire from the Holy Spirit Cult."

"To save the Dou Ling Empire, we must unite with other powerful figures. Therefore, I will have someone send a message to the Clear Sky Sect, asking the two Ultimate Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect to join forces with our Shrek Academy to deal with the Holy Spirit Cult. But before that, I can only guarantee to rescue your mother from the Holy Spirit Cult. As for the rest, please forgive me for being unable to do so."

In fact, Mu En knew very well that those guys from the Clear Sky Sect would never agree to his request.

If the Clear Sky Sect cared about the lives of ordinary people, then when the Sun Moon Continent Douluo Continent collided and war broke out, the Clear Sky Sect should have intervened instead of continuing to live in seclusion in the Cloud Recesses Unknown Depths.

He said that simply to shirk responsibility.

If anyone tries to use this incident to criticize him in the future, he can simply say that he once asked the Clear Sky Sect Clear Sky Sect to join forces with him to deal with the Holy Spirit Cult, but was refused.

They're pushing all the blame onto the Clear Sky Sect!

Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe should really learn from him how to be a good senior executive!

Although Xu Sanshi really wanted to Mu En to rescue the entire Dou Ling Empire, he knew how difficult it was to ask such a question. He only hesitated for a few seconds before nodding heavily.

"That's enough! As long as I can rescue my mother, I'll be satisfied!"

Would Xu Sanshi care about the lives of other people?

Of course not!

He only cared about his family; what did the lives of the other people in the Dou Ling Empire matter to him?

Now that the Profound Nether Sect has been destroyed by the Holy Spirit Cult, all his family members except his mother have died at the hands of those damned Evil Soul Master. As long as he can rescue his mother, Xu Sanshi doesn't care if the others suffer even more.

Mu En looked at Xu Sanshi and pondered to himself. He had previously communicated with the Golden Ancient Tree in secret.

If the other party can restore his aging body to its peak, then young men like Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Dai Huabin who have lost their manhood can probably also be restored to their former state.

Unfortunately, no matter how much Mu En pleaded, the Golden Ancient Tree did not respond, which forced Mu En to give up and place his hopes on the legendary Immortal Herb.

Now that the royal family of the Dou Ling Empire has been completely slaughtered, if the Holy Spirit Cult can be driven out in the future and Xu Sanshi can be restored, can Xu Sanshi become the emperor of the Dou Ling Empire and help Shrek clear its name?
