Super Douluo Jing Hongchen, Xuan Zi Seethes with Rage
The clever ones have already begun to try to contact Xu Tianran to discuss the treatment of those who join the Sun Moon Empire, the stubborn ones are still observing, and the even more stubborn ones are determined to live and die with the Star Luo Empire and Heaven Soul.
In the Douluo Continent, there is actually no concept of protecting one's homeland.
Or rather, only a portion of ordinary people have this idea.
True disciples of sects and families only want to dedicate themselves to their sects and families, not to live or die with their country.
If a better place comes along than their original country, they will not hesitate to choose to go there.
Unless they are so deeply tied to the royal family that they cannot sever ties.
Otherwise, it would be very rare for a disciple of a sect to sacrifice everything for the interests of a particular country.
Of course, there are always exceptions.
Shrek Academy is the best proof of that.
Although it is just an academy, its brainwashing and control over its students is even more powerful than that of a sect. Once you stay at the Shrek Academy for a long time, or become an Inner Court student, you will not hesitate to sacrifice your life for the Glory of Shrek.
That is why, even though they witnessed the prosperity and inclusiveness of Mingdu at that time, their first thought was not to join the Sun Moon Empire.
Instead, he secretly pondered whether he could find a way to destroy this dazzling Mingdu and bring the Sun Moon Empire back to the same level as them.
Finally, we will use our rich experience to defeat the Sun Moon Empire!
After walking around for a while, Xuan Zi looked at Yan Shaozhe and whispered.
"How's it going Yan Shaozhe? Did you find anything?"
Yan Shaozhe nodded slightly, his gaze subtly sweeping over a spot on the street, and slowly spoke.
"The Sun Moon Empire has really gone all out to maintain the security of Mingdu. On the surface, there are more than a dozen Soul Douluo, dozens of Soul Sage, and even at least three Rank Nine Soul Engineer who are ready to deal with any emergencies."
Xuan Zi sneered upon hearing this.
"Mingdu does indeed appear very prosperous, but who knows if this prosperity is just a facade? Are they trying to scare us like this? Do they really think Shrek Academy is like those brainless sects, thinking of surrendering to their Sun Moon Empire just because of this situation?"
Although Yan Shaozhe did not quite agree with Xuan Zi's words, he knew that once Xuan Zi got stuck on a problem, no one could change his mind except for Mu En himself.
Even if Mu En forced him to bow his head, Xuan Zi would still be unwilling to admit defeat.
He immediately nodded in agreement.
"That's right. But as far as I know, among the sects that have already arrived in Mingdu, a considerable number have already begun to discuss with the people of the Sun Moon Empire what kind of treatment they will receive after surrendering."
"If things continue like this, the situation for the Star Luo Empire and Heaven Soul will only become more and more difficult."
Although Yan Shaozhe was talking about the Star Luo Empire and Heaven Soul, even with Xuan Zi's intelligence, he could tell that Yan was worried about the future of the Shrek Academy.
After its disgraceful defeat in the last Soul Master Competition, Shrek Academy's situation became extremely difficult. If it weren't for the war between the Star Luo Empire and Heaven Soul and the Holy Spirit Cult, which forced them to provide some high-quality students, Shrek would have long been without any fresh blood joining.
But now, seeing the Sun Moon Empire becoming more and more prosperous and full of talented people, Xuan Zi's heart was filled with anger and hostility.
Seeing that Xuan Zi really wanted to find an opportunity to cause trouble in Mingdu, and remembering that Kong Deming had become Super Douluo five years ago and even suppressed his teacher with the help of the Soul Tool, Yan Shaozhe quickly and earnestly advised him.
"Xuan Zi, please don't forget Mu En's instructions. We are only here as the team leaders. Our responsibility is to protect the students' safety. We are not to do anything else!"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Zi's breath hitched, and he nodded reluctantly.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything rash before the Soul Master Competition ends."
Yan Shaozhe felt a chill run down his spine.
Xuan Zi's words gave him an instant bad feeling.
I have a feeling that after this Soul Master Competition ends, Xuan Zi will do something that is very bad for the Shrek Academy.
Just as Yan Shaozhe was about to say something, a chubby figure walked over from a distance, causing Yan Shaozhe's expression to change drastically, and he put on a serious look.
Xuan Zi frowned and looked at the newcomer, speaking in a deep voice.
"Old Toad, what are you doing?"
Jing Hongchen looked at Xuan Zi with a smile, completely ignoring Xuan Zi's comment about an "Old Toad".
"It's nothing special. My Soul Power recently broke through to the level of Super Douluo level 95). After learning that you had arrived in Mingdu with the Shrek Academy people, I came here specifically to share this good news with you. I would also like to invite you, my old friend, to have a couple of drinks with me."
As soon as Jing Hongchen finished speaking, Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe's expressions changed drastically.
Xuan Zi, in particular, suddenly became extremely gloomy.
Sharing good news? For hell with good news!
Jing Hongchen must be deliberately telling me that he has broken through to the Super Douluo level, just like Kong Deming before, and can contend with the Ultimate Douluo!
He was trying to use this to threaten me into behaving myself and not doing anything out of line in Mingdu!
Would Xuan Zi, Level 98 Super Douluo and the renowned Taotie Douluo, be threatened by an Old Toad he looks down upon?
Well, now even if he doesn't want to accept this threat, he has no choice but to.
Xuan Zi clenched his teeth so tightly that the muscles on both sides of his mouth trembled slightly, revealing the anger and resentment he was feeling.
Damn it! Why is it that even that damned Old Toad has broken through to Super Douluo, but he still hasn't successfully broken through the Ultimate Douluo threshold that has been blocking him for so many years?
Old Toad, you deserve to die!
Warning! Warning! Xuan Zi issued a red-temperature warning.
Seeing that Xuan Zi's endurance had reached its limit, Yan Shaozhe knew that if he remained indifferent, Xuanzi might lose his mind and do something unimaginable. So he immediately stepped forward, forced out an extremely ugly smile, and offered Jing Hongchen insincere congratulations.
"Congratulations, Hall Master Hongchen! It's a pity we're leading the Shrek Academy students in the Soul Master Competition as instructors, and we didn't bring any gifts. Otherwise..."
Jing Hongchen waved his hand to interrupt Yan Shaozhe, his smile as bright as a blooming flower. Especially seeing Xuan Zi's flushed face, he felt extremely happy and laughed nonchalantly.
"It's alright, gifts aren't important. Anyway, Shrek Academy has given our Sun Moon Empire quite a few gifts over the past five years."
Yan Shaozhe fell silent.
If it weren't for his lack of strength, Yan Shaozhe really wanted to beat Jing Hongchen up on the spot.
However, he roughly guessed Jing Hongchen's thoughts. This Old Toad was specifically there to lure Xuan Zi into fighting with him, because once they fought, even if the Sun Moon Empire arrested them on the spot, no one would help Shrek get justice.
Realizing this, Yan Shaozhe mustered his strength, pulled Xuan Zi up, bid farewell to Jing Hongchen, and fled in panic.
