"Hmm?"
Long Yeyue looked up in shock,
and discovered that her all-out strike had actually been blocked by the seemingly delicate young woman before her.
Ye Zhaolu's hair turned golden, her entire body bathed in bright flames. A phoenix cried, and the pure bright flames rapidly canceled out the power of the Radiant Sacred Dragon.
Bang!
After the brief collision,
Ye Zhaolu staggered back several steps, bleeding from the web of her right hand, having blocked the blow.
Long Yeyue was utterly stunned.
She was a Limit Douluo!
Although she had not used a Soul Skill, her all-out strike had actually been blocked by this female rank-96 Super Douluo before her?
Didn't that mean her use of the power of light was inferior to this woman's?!
Ye Zhaolu stared coldly at Long Yeyue.
Her understanding of the Bright Phoenix likewise surpassed Long Yeyue's, but the gap in their ranks was simply too great. Even though she had used a Soul Skill just now, she had still been injured.
"Pavilion Master Long, you resort to underhanded sneak attacks after losing? Is this what Shrek is?!"
Ye Zhaolu spoke through gritted teeth.
Long Yeyue's heart burned with anger at her words.
Her understanding of the Dark Holy Dragon was inferior to Long Xiaoyao's, and her use of the power of light was inferior to Ye Zhaolu's.
After two juniors had taken turns schooling her and slapping her in the face within a single day, Long Yeyue had already cracked.
She had completely forgotten that all her cultivation had come from the previous Sea God Pavilion Master's infusion.
"How dare you! This was only a friendly match, yet Long Xiaoyao struck so viciously. Am I not allowed to teach him a lesson?! Do you have any respect for Shrek at all?!"
Ye Zhaolu froze.
She had launched a sneak attack and still made it sound so high-minded.
This old woman's shamelessness simply stunned her.
Long Xiaoyao looked down, noticed that Ye Zhaolu was injured, and instantly exploded with rage.
"Struck viciously? Why didn't you say anything when that old bastard Zhuo Shi ambushed me?!"
"Fine, fine, fine! So all you fuckers at Shrek love sneak attacks, huh?!"
"I'll fucking fight you!"
Long Xiaoyao roared, going berserk on the spot.
The Darkness Domain appeared again, and he immediately moved to attack Long Yeyue.
Long Yeyue sneered. This was precisely the opportunity she had been waiting for!
"Brother Long, calm down!"
Yu Guanzhi hurried over and shielded him behind his back.
Ye Zhaolu also hurriedly grabbed Long Xiaoyao, telling him not to act rashly.
This was Shrek's territory, after all.
Long Yeyue was also a Limit Douluo. If a real fight broke out, they would probably suffer.
Long Xiaoyao's body remained taut, but ultimately, he did not attack again. He merely stared fixedly at Long Yeyue.
Seeing that Long Xiaoyao had not attacked,
Yu Guanzhi said coldly,
"Elder Long, aren't you going too far in bullying us?!"
"We agreed on an arena match. Win or lose, it was only a spar. How could you interfere on your own authority?! Are you trying to provoke our Federation's War God Temple?"
Yu Guanzhi immediately slapped that heavy accusation onto her.
Long Yeyue glared.
"A spar? Would a spar leave Zhuo Shi in this state?!"
Yu Guanzhi said, "Anyone might fail to pull back in a fight. What's wrong with that? Wasn't my brother Long injured too?!"
"Well, well! Now even Chen Xinjie's subordinates dare boss me around. If you want to control me, have Chen Xinjie come himself!"
Yu Guanzhi took a deep breath.
This Long Yeyue was simply an old female deadbeat.
She fucking brought up Chen Xinjie with every other breath. If he hadn't been taking Chen Xinjie's dignity into account, he would have slapped her already!
Yu Guanzhi forcibly suppressed his anger.
"Elder Long, this is all being livestreamed right now. Are you sure you want to keep arguing like this? You'll only make us a laughingstock."
Long Yeyue narrowed her eyes.
That was right.
If not for concerns about the repercussions, she would have attacked long ago.
Long Yeyue sighed inwardly. These were no longer the old days, when she had dared charge straight into the Spirit Pagoda and slap Qiangu Dieting.
There was nothing she could do. For Shrek's sake, she could only endure it.
"Hmph!"
Long Yeyue turned, grabbed Zhuo Shi, and flew straight away.
Cai Yue'er watched this unfold, dumbfounded.
All the students were dumbstruck too.
The match had actually ended in this muddled fashion, without even an announcement of who had won or lost!
Long Xiaoyao's expression was grim.
"Fuck! Give me another two years, and I'll beat that old woman to a pulp!"
What fucking deputy master of the Sea God Pavilion? She was nothing but an old fairy born a couple of years before him.
If you couldn't fucking stand losing, don't play!
"You two should go first. Leave this to me."
Yu Guanzhi patted Long Xiaoyao's shoulder, then looked at Ye Zhaolu.
"Thank you for stepping in just now. I thank you on behalf of the War God Temple."
Ye Zhaolu smiled. "It was nothing. The principles of fairness don't change just because Shrek is involved. No one could stand watching such dirty dealings."
Yu Guanzhi smiled bitterly.
If only everyone thought like Ye Zhaolu, the Federation wouldn't have such enormous internal conflicts.
"Mm. Head back first."
Long Xiaoyao nodded and flew straight away with Ye Zhaolu.
Yu Guanzhi pressed a hand to his forehead. Fucking hell.
They had agreed on a friendly match, yet she had flown into a rage the moment she saw Zhuo Shi lose.
He made up his mind.
Shrek could never be trusted!
That shithole was nothing but a bunch of sore losers obsessed with their so-called glory. It wouldn't be surprising if they fought the War God Temple one day!
The stadium immediately began clearing out,
and the livestream was instantly cut off.
This much-hyped duel had actually ended in such an inconclusive fashion.
As the students left,
only Cai Yue'er sat despondently at the table, watching Long Xiaoyao and Ye Zhaolu's retreating figures, her heart filled with disappointment.
"Elder Long... weren't you supposed to show Long Xiaoyao how formidable you were? How did you get beaten like this..."
Cai Yue'er now truly fucking understood what it meant for the actual product not to match the photo!
She truly had never imagined
that Long Yeyue, a Limit Douluo, would understand the Dark Holy Dragon Martial Soul less than the twenty-nine-year-old Long Xiaoyao!
Who the fuck would believe that?!
Li Chen smiled and left with the crowd.
He had barely participated throughout the whole affair. Both sides were far too powerful. Li Chen knew his limits and feared he might get caught in the crossfire and die outright.
Just as Li Chen followed the crowd to the exit,
Tang Wulin and his two companions were walking ahead.
Li Chen noticed them too, but did not greet them.
Li Chen knew full well that God King Tang's divine consciousness was still inside Tang Wulin.
If he approached, he might well be targeted and have a divine consciousness tracker planted on him.
Just as Li Chen deliberately avoided them,
Gu Yue suddenly turned around up ahead. Silver light flashed through her eyes as she scanned the crowd.
Beside her, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie asked in confusion,
"Gu Yue, what's wrong?"
With a puzzled expression, Gu Yue scanned the surroundings once before stopping.
"Nothing. Let's go."
"Oh."
Tang Wulin sighed. "I never thought Senior Zhuo Shi would actually lose. I don't know what happened at the end, either. Why did Senior Long start fighting the people from the War God Temple..."
Xie Xie nodded. "Yeah. They said it was a friendly match, but why do I feel like this match beat every last bit of friendship between Shrek and the War God Temple out of existence?"
"Forget it. What's done is done. Let's eat first!"
Tang Wulin rubbed his stomach and smiled.
He had only just entered Shrek, and its so-called glory had not yet marinated all the way into him.
Compared with the relationship between the two major powers, Tang Wulin cared more about whether he could fill his belly.
Only Gu Yue's face betrayed bewilderment and suspicion.
"What's going on? I clearly sensed the presence of a high-ranking dragon just now. Who was it?!"
Gu Yue frantically searched her memories.
She was certain that a Dark Holy Dragon had appeared behind her just now!
And it wasn't an ordinary Dark Holy Dragon, but a king among Dark Holy Dragons!
Although it was only a hatchling,
in terms of bloodline alone, that fellow actually surpassed even Di Tian!
Gu Yue could not make sense of it, no matter how she thought it over.
Hadn't the Dark Holy Dragon lineage perished long ago in the great war in the Divine Realm?
How could any of them still remain?
If she hadn't been worried about exposing herself, Gu Yue would have truly wanted to seek that fellow out.
"Forget it. I'll leave it alone for now. Dragon bloodlines attract one another. I'll definitely encounter him again someday. I hope that fellow has good luck."
Gu Yue thought to herself.
Darkness Holy Dragon King hatchling, you must stay alive.
Meanwhile,
public opinion across the entire continent had erupted into an enormous uproar!
Footage of Long Yeyue attacking had already spread rapidly, escalating like wildfire!
Countless organizations and prominent families across the continent were speculating that the War God Temple might be about to break with Shrek outright!
Far away in Mingdu, Speaker Li Yuntian
was dumbfounded when he saw the news.
"What's going on? Why are the War God Temple's people fighting Shrek?!"
Li Yuntian knitted his brows tightly.
Wasn't Long Yeyue an old flame of Chen Xinjie, the master of the War God Temple, if he remembered correctly?
Why had Long Yeyue gone mad and attacked the War God Temple's people?
Forget it. He wouldn't bother with it.
This wasn't the first time that old woman had gone mad. She had even dared storm the Spirit Pagoda alone once.
Fight, then. Go ahead and fight.
Li Yuntian dearly wished Long Yeyue would anger the entire War God Temple. That way, Shrek would lose another source of support!
