Wu Zhangkong and Long Bing

"Your teacher is still the same as before—decisive and efficient."

Behind Wu Zhangkong, a beautiful figure shook her head helplessly and said tactfully.

Wu Zhangkong resumed his expressionless demeanor, but his gaze towards Qianying was gentle.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Simply offering advice isn't enough; we need to think of other methods."

Long Bing nodded first, then frowned and said, "But time is running out. So far, none of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion have given up. I'm afraid they've already reached a consensus internally."

Wu Zhangkong fell silent.

Few people in Shrek Academy have a deeper affection for the school than the elders, who have lived Shrek for decades or even centuries.

As the saying goes, it's hard to leave one's homeland. Some elderly people are unwilling to leave their hometowns even in the face of war, let alone Shrek, the spiritual home they Douluo I.

Wu Zhangkong is not afraid of the stubbornness of the Turbid World, but he is afraid that behind the stubbornness of the other party, there is already a death wish, and that he regards this city as his inevitable destination and end.

Long Bing keenly sensed his tense emotions and gently grasped his hand. "Don't think the worst yet. Perhaps—they weren't determined to die, but had another plan, but this plan was too risky, so they deliberately used this resolute posture to push those of you who care about them out, to avoid getting involved."

"Besides, your teacher doesn't have that resolute determination to Destruction with Shrek, does he? I think there's still a chance."

If all else fails, I will ask my father for help.

Her father, Shadow Bee Douluo (Dark Hummingbird in the original novel), is the third-in-command of the Dark Department, and the reason why Wu Zhangkong was able to contact Shrek under such tense circumstances.

In the current situation, without connections at the highest levels of the Federation, it's impossible for an ordinary person to contact anyone at the Shrek Academy.

There are some things that the two of them can't do, but her father might be able to.

However, Wu Zhangkong has reservations about this.

He felt a headache coming on when he thought about his future father-in-law's personality and the conflict between the man and Teacher Turbid World.

If he were to ask that person for help, he felt his teacher would truly refuse to yield even unto death.

The story of the feud between the two older generations begins with the reason why Wu Zhangkong left Shrek Academy.

Wu Zhangkong was once a prodigy of the Shrek Academy, with the highest talent among his generation. It could be said that if he continued to grow normally, he would become the next Sea God Pavilion Elder.

But one day, he met Long Bing.

At the time, Long Bing was a designated member of the Dark Department. Her father sent her to Shrek Academy as a spy infiltrating the Shrek Academy Dark Department investigate some of its secrets.

From this perspective, the two individuals have opposing identities and there is a certain degree of conflict between them.

But don't forget, this is Douluo Continent!

The two met, got to know each other, and fell in love. Even after Wu Zhangkong learned about Long Bing's identity from her, it did not change their feelings for each other.

And then—and then both sets of parents found out.

When Turbid World learned that his precious disciple had been bewitched by the Dark Department, he was furious. He was worried that Wu Zhangkong would run away with Long Bing, and he was also worried that Wu Zhangkong would be criticized at Shrek because of this.

When Shadow Bee Douluo saw that his daughter wasn't carrying out her mission properly and was instead dating someone from the Shrek Academy, he was equally furious—mainly targeting Wu Zhangkong.

When both sets of parents first learned of the situation, they still maintained a degree of rationality and decorum. With Long Bing mediating and putting out fires on both sides, her sweet words and reassurances temporarily calmed the two elders down.

Well, Wu Zhangkong is going to suffer a bit. Shadow Bee doesn't like him, Turbid World is disappointed in him. Both sides skillfully ignore Long Bing and focus their firepower on him.

Wu Zhangkong was experiencing both pain and joy. (Original Wu Zhangkong: This is nothing! If Long Bing were to be resurrected, I would be willing to endure a thousand times, ten thousand times, more difficulties.)

Overall, life has been somewhat turbulent, but we're still managing to get by.

But that was when the two elders didn't meet.

One day, when the two bumped into each other, the way they looked at each other was not like they were looking at their in-laws, but like they were looking at the enemy who had kidnapped their child.

A few words were enough to provoke a conflict, which eventually escalated into a physical fight.

Two Super Douluo, Three-Word Battle Armor Master, are fighting there. What can Wu Zhangkong and Long Bing, the instigators, do?

The only thing we can do is try to mediate the fight.

However, their words only exacerbated the conflict, causing the two elders to truly lash out. Fearing something might happen, Wu Zhangkong forgot his weak cultivation level and stepped forward to stop them. As a result, he was swept away like a leaf in a storm by the aftershocks of the battle between the two Super Douluo who were now truly enraged.

Even though Turbid World and Shadow Bee Douluo instinctively withdrew their power and changed direction the moment they noticed it, the terrifying energy that was dissipating was still beyond what Wu Zhangkong could withstand.

Wu Zhangkong stopped the fight at the cost of his own serious injuries.

But the rift had already deepened, and awkwardness and silence replaced direct conflict.

Afterwards, having saved Wu Zhangkong's life, Shadow Bee chose to take Long Bing away, leaving him only one sentence.

"Come see her again when you leave Shrek and understand the real reason I'm preventing you two from being together. Until then, I will not approve of you being together."

This is the story of the feud between the two elders, and also the reason why Wu Zhangkong left Shrek Academy to teach in the Eastsea.

Because of his hasty departure, the injuries inflicted on him by the two Super Douluo had not fully healed. In addition, the doubts left behind by Long Bing's departure and Shadow Bee Douluo caused him some inner turmoil, which led to his cultivation being somewhat neglected over the years.

But through his interactions with those innocent children and his dealings with the Spirit Pagoda, he gradually became aware of some things. Now, Wu Zhangkong finally understands why his "father-in-law" was so resistant to his relationship with Long Bing.

Given the relationship between the Dark Department and the Federation, they probably knew this day would come. Shadow Bee was worried that his existence would affect Long Bing.

Having understood Shadow Bee's thoughts, and upon meeting Long Bing, Wu Zhangkong also became estranged from his teacher, Turbid World. His decision to leave Shrek years ago filled him with guilt towards his teacher.

However, Wu Zhangkong has no regrets.

After all, if he hadn't left back then, he wouldn't even have had the standing to persuade his teacher to leave.

Seeing that Wu Zhangkong still had a furrowed brow, Long Bing rested his chin on his hand and also felt that his previous suggestion to ask his father for help was not very reliable.

But if even that doesn't work, what other way is there to get a stubborn old man to leave Shrek?

Finally, Long Bing's gaze fell on Wu Zhangkong. She blinked and smiled slightly at the latter's puzzled expression.

In Mingdu, Long Bing's father Shadow Bee Douluo, received a communication from his daughter and frowned.

He forgot his father once he found a lover.

He should have been more ruthless from the start and found a way to stuff Long Bing into the Spirit Pagoda so he could experience the feeling of Ice Seal in the Extreme North. Things wouldn't be like this now.

An incompetent father.

Despite his thoughts, he still took a step forward and went to find the Passionate Douluo who had been arranged to stay in a mansion in Mingdu.

What can we do with just our one daughter?

Just spoil them.

Anyway, Wu Zhangkong has improved somewhat compared to how he was marinated by Shrek back then.

Furthermore, Turbid World is not only Super Douluo but also an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion. If he can be persuaded to defect, it could further weaken Shi's power.

The rebellious spirit of Shrek Academy undermines the confidence of Shrek's die-hards.

Thinking of scenes like "We were about to fight to the death, why did the Grand Secretary surrender first?" and "Turbid World surrendered to him without resistance", Shadow Bee Douluo's usually cold and hard lips curled up into a rare smile.

Of course, he was simply happy for the sake of the Federation's overall interests, and had no intention of taking pleasure in making fun of some old guy.

As the Limit set by the Federation drew ever closer, the army blocking Shrek Academy expanded further.

The Spirit Pagoda and other powerful figures from various forces also came at the invitation, including Huo Yuhao.

Then, they witnessed a strange scene outside Shrek City.

An old man angrily turned to go back to Shrek City, while a man and a woman tried to persuade him from behind, and another person sneered at him from the side.

"You're already out, do you think you can go back? If you don't accept our offer, then go to jail!"

Huo Yuhao glanced sideways at Wu Zhangkong behind Turbid World.

What's going on here?

Teacher Wu Zhangkong.
