Shrek Academy.
Beneath the Golden Tree.
Xuan Zi was not devouring chicken legs and gulping down wine as he usually did.
Instead, he stood outside the Sea God Pavilion, his eyes red and swollen, looking utterly lost.
Inside the pavilion.
A group of elders sat at the table, fiercely debating the matter.
Naturally, their discussion revolved around the devastating casualties the students had suffered under Xuan Zi's leadership.
Just then, Yan Shaozhe came out.
He respectfully said to Xuan Zi, "Xuan Zi, Mu En has asked you to come inside."
"I understand. Let's go."
Xuan Zi swayed unsteadily, like a withered willow in the wind.
It looked as though a single gust could knock him over at any moment.
Unable to bear seeing Xuan Zi so grief-stricken, Yan Shaozhe hurried to console him. "Please don't be too upset, Xuan Zi. The academy has already sent people to comfort the families of the fallen students. You must take care of yourself."
Seeing Xuan Zi in this state.
It was only the second time for him.
The first had been during the incident involving Zhang Lexuan all those years ago.
Xuan Zi shook his head blankly, tears filling his eyes. "Enough, Yan Shaozhe. Stop trying to comfort me. In the end, I failed to kill that Death Messenger or avenge the students. This was my mistake. There's nothing more to say."
"Sigh... I truly feel old. I couldn't even kill a Soul King."
"Do you think I'm utterly useless as a Level 98 Super Douluo?"
Upon hearing this.
Yan Shaozhe dearly wanted to agree.
Besides, that really was the truth.
What other Level 98 Super Douluo repeatedly made such grave mistakes while leading a team?
Had it been anyone else.
He would have suspected them of putting on an act.
But grumbling
