What It Meant for the Son of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life to Be Mistaken for an Evil Soul Master

Meanwhile, upon hearing the identity of the Shrek Inspection Corps, Li Changsheng, who had still been somewhat puzzled, instantly understood.

So they were from Shrek. No wonder.

Thinking this, he let out a soft laugh, a trace of mockery flashing through his eyes as he finally understood the entire situation.

"So..."

He spoke unhurriedly, his tone carrying a hint of derision as he questioned, "Just because the attribute of my awakened martial soul is destruction, you've labeled me an evil soul master?"

As his words fell, he slowly spread open his right hand.

Bzz—!

Space trembled faintly.

The next instant, the pitch-black Destruction Scepter, covered in mysterious patterns, abruptly emerged from his palm and floated silently in the air.

The moment the scepter appeared, an endless aura of desolate destruction erupted!

A deep black mist surged and billowed.

A terrifying pressure of annihilation swept across the entire small courtyard like a tidal wave.

Cold, domineering, and carrying supreme divine might capable of obliterating all things, it instantly left everyone present short of breath, their hearts trembling in shock.

It felt as though they were not facing a martial soul, but a supreme deity who controlled life, death, and destruction!

Zhou Chun's face instantly turned pale. His body involuntarily retreated, his face filled with horror.

The silver-clad youth's pupils shrank sharply, and for the first time, a solemn expression appeared on his arrogant face.

Soul Power throughout his body instinctively circulated at full force to resist the terrifying pressure of destruction, further confirming his judgment.

With a martial soul so sinister and domineering, brimming with the aura of ruin and death, what else could he be if not an evil soul master?

He was likely an evil soul master with an exceptionally high-grade evil martial soul!

The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, the two supreme Divine Kings, probably could never have imagined that their beloved child, a descendant of a Divine King bearing the purest Divine King origin, would one day be branded an "evil soul master" by an insignificant academy disciple in the lower realm.

Jiang Nannan's face turned pale beneath the terrifying pressure of destruction, her body trembling slightly as fear instinctively rose within her.

But as she looked at the slender yet upright back of the youth in the courtyard, recalling how he had saved her mother and remembering his gentle, composed demeanor, she finally gritted her teeth and stepped forward despite her fear, positioning herself in front of Li Changsheng.

The girl's voice trembled faintly, though she still spoke firmly. "Uncle Zhou, and this Shrek senior... I don't think we can decide someone is an evil soul master merely based on the appearance of his martial soul. That's far too unfair."

"Although his martial soul's aura is frightening, he possesses an incredibly powerful healing ability. He even cured my mother, who had been gravely ill for years. He definitely isn't a bad person!"

"Healing ability? Are you joking?"

The silver-clad youth froze for a moment upon hearing this, then snorted as though he had heard the greatest joke in the world. The contempt in his eyes grew even stronger.

"And fairness!"

He sneered, his tone cold and arrogant as he demanded, "Evil soul masters bring chaos to the world and poison all living beings. If we let a tiger return to the mountains today, then once he grows up and harms innocents, slaughtering commoners, who will bear that responsibility?"

"My Shrek Inspection Corps has always acted by the principle of killing by mistake rather than letting one slip away!"

He stepped forward, looking down at Jiang Nannan standing in front of him. His voice carried unconcealed disdain and rebuke. "And what are you supposed to be? Just a commoner. What right do you have to tell me what to do?"

"I represent Shrek Academy. If I say he is an evil soul master, then he must be an evil soul master!"

His cold, arrogant words crashed into the cramped courtyard, carrying an unquestionable tyranny that instantly made the air stiff and stagnant.

Jiang Nannan's petite body trembled slightly. The monument of holy reverence that had always stood tall and unshakable in her heart suddenly cracked open with a massive fissure.

Since childhood, she had heard countless legends about Shrek Academy.

It was the sacred land of soul masters that had stood at the pinnacle of the continent for ten thousand years, synonymous with justice, fairness, genius, and protection.

Everyone said that Shrek guarded the world, suppressing evil and punishing wickedness, sheltering the common people. It was the final support and light in the hearts of all lowly soul masters and ordinary civilians.

Countless impoverished children took pride in gaining admission to Shrek.

Countless people believed that Shrek acted openly and honorably, impartially and selflessly, never wronging a good person and never tolerating an evildoer.

That was also the ultimate holy land she had longed to reach, striving with all her strength to get there.

Yet the lofty Shrek inner-court disciple before her had completely torn apart every beautiful impression she had held of Shrek.

He did not ask for the reason, distinguish good from evil, or listen to any explanation. Based only on a trace of martial soul aura, he casually branded someone with the death sentence of being an evil soul master.

One sentence: kill by mistake rather than let one slip away...

One sentence: if I say he is, then he is. It was tyranny, paranoia, and brutality taken to the extreme!

Where was even a shred of the dignity expected of a sacred land?

Where was even a shred of fairness or justice?

At that moment, all of Jiang Nannan's yearning, admiration, and reverence for Shrek plummeted, covered even by a deep layer of disappointment.

So the supreme holy land praised by the world could be this arbitrary and arrogant as well. It too could rely on power and authority to freely define the good and evil of others, treating human lives like grass!

Zhou Chun stood to one side, his face filled with utter disappointment as he looked at Jiang Nannan, who stubbornly protected Li Changsheng.

Then he looked at the overbearing Shrek disciple. Torn between the two sides, he did not dare to interject.

On one side was a well-behaved, kind-hearted girl who knew how to repay kindness.

On the other was a member of the Inspection Corps, representing Shrek's authority and holding the power to arrest people.

He was merely a Soul King. He had no standing to speak.

Besides, the other party was not entirely wrong.

If Li Changsheng did not become an evil soul master, then everyone would be happy.

But should he fall into corruption, it would spell catastrophe for the entire continent.

Seeing this, the contempt in the silver-clad youth's eyes deepened. He sneered and was about to rebuke them again.

But at that moment, a voice filled with mockery suddenly rang out.

"What a Shrek Academy!"

"What a fine 'if I say he's an evil soul master, then he's an evil soul master'!"

"So this is how tyrannical Shrek's rules have become—abusing authority, making arbitrary judgments, and acting as you please...?"

"With the way you bully others through power and trample innocent lives, does Mu En, who presides over Shrek, know about it?"

Every word rang forcefully, every sentence piercing straight to the heart!

It directly exposed Shrek's hypocrisy and tyranny before everyone, even bluntly naming Shrek's highest authority—the Dragon God Douluo Mu En, whose cultivation had reached Rank 99!

Boom!

The instant those words fell, everyone in the courtyard's expression changed drastically!

The arrogance and contempt on the silver-clad youth's face instantly froze. His pupils contracted violently, and his face filled with disbelief!

Although he did not know who this Mu En was, this was the first time he had encountered someone who dared to question Shrek Academy so openly.

Jiang Nannan abruptly raised her head as well, her face full of astonishment and her heart shaken to its core.

The next second, space rippled faintly as a stream of dim black light appeared out of nowhere.

No one saw how he arrived, nor could anyone catch even the slightest trace of movement.

It was as though he had always stood between heaven and earth, only just now revealing himself from the void!
