Ma Hongjun put the basket aside, picked up an egg,

He smashed the egg against Tang San's corpse. The egg shattered, and the scattered egg white splashed onto Ma Hongjun, but he didn't care. He continued to pick up eggs and smash them against Tang San's corpse, as if only in this way could he vent his anger.

" Tang San, you bastard! You treated me so badly back in the academy, now I'll make you pay a hundredfold!" Ma Hongjun said, laughing as he looked at Tang San's corpse, then took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead.

His words were full of schadenfreude and anger, but Oscar didn't say much, just silently watched Ma Hongjun finish venting. He vented for quite a while, until he threw all the eggs out, before Ma Hongjun finally stopped.

Oscar then slowly said, "Alright, if our students see this kind of behavior, it could easily affect their impression of us."

"Tui~ I've vented enough, let's go. After all, we came out on a mission this time. By the way, how many fireworks did the teacher tell us to buy?" Ma Hongjun spat at Tang San's corpse, then turned to ask Oscar.

"The more the better. After all, these are the fireworks that Dean Flender and Erlong set off at their wedding. They went through all sorts of hardships and finally got married. Let's buy more so we can set off as many as we want." Oscar's face showed a faint smile.

"Okay, then let's buy more styles, gift sets, firecrackers, fireworks, buy more."

The two chatted idly as they left, not thinking about Tang San anymore.

Shortly after the two left, a pair of extremely beautiful sisters appeared in the square. They were dressed in blue and stopped in their tracks upon seeing Tang San's corpse.

"I never imagined that Tang San, who shone so brightly in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, would end up in such a state. Sister Bing'er, don't you think this fate is quite peculiar?" the taller woman asked the shorter woman.

"Everyone has their own destiny, and life and death are in the hands of fate. All we can do now is live well, right?" the woman replied.

"Yes, I originally thought that my sister would marry Jun Yi in the future, but who would have thought that I haven't seen him since the competition. I wonder what he looks like now, and whether he is as handsome as he was back then?"

The two sisters are none other than the former Skywater Team's duo, now teachers at the Skywater Academy: Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.

" Yue'er, please stop saying such things. In Jun Yi's eyes, we are just passersby. He is now the Pavilion Master of the Xuejun Pavilion. The difference between us is like heaven and earth," Shui Bing'er replied.

However, although Shui Bing'er said that, the image of Jun Yi chatting and laughing with the four academies in her mind appeared in her mind. When she first met him, he was so full of vigor.

But later, when Jun Yi again at the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, he had completely changed. He had become more composed and ruthless, and his eyes held a coldness that was not befitting his age. At that time, he was only fifteen years old, but Shui Bing'er could sense that Jun Yi was no longer the same person he used to be. More precisely, he was no longer the Jun Yi that Shui Bing'er knew. Jun Yi had changed too much.

"Oh, sister, stop dwelling on the past. Let's hurry up and finish our mission so we can go back and report to the dean," Shui Yue'er called out.

Shui Bing'er sighed softly and said no more. The two of them soon left the place.

Within Heaven Dou City, many acquaintances of Tang San were present. When they saw Tang San's body hanging in the square, subjected to public humiliation, they all sighed with regret. Most felt sorry for Tang San, such a young prodigy, a genius rarely seen in the Soul Master World, who ultimately met such an end.

In many people's eyes, Tang San's name is already a household name in Heaven Dou City and even the entire Douluo Continent. The mark he left behind is indelible. If nothing unexpected happens, as long as the Heaven Dou Empire exists, he will be infamous for eternity.

Inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Xue Ke had already ascended to the throne, becoming the new Heaven Dou Emperor.

Clad in a dragon robe, she sat upon a dragon throne, before whom lay a massive golden nanmu wood table, piled high with various memorials. Among the many memorials, one envelope stood out prominently, bearing the seal of White Tiger —this was the Star Luo Empire's letter of sue for peace.

After reading the letter, Xue Ke tore it up. She had no intention of negotiating with the Star Luo Empire; the Star Luo Empire was one of the culprits behind her brother's murder.

This blood debt can never be erased. In her eyes, there is no possibility of peace talks between the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire. A gentle breeze blew the fragments of the letter onto the table, and Ning Fengzhi, standing to Xue Ke's left, slowly said, "Your Majesty, I have assembled the army and sent men to the border to gather the main force. We will soon be at war with the Star Luo Empire."

" Uncle Ning, thank you for your concern." Xue Ke looked at Ning Fengzhi, who was in extremely poor condition, and felt a pang of heartache. Her brother's teacher had sacrificed so much for the Heaven Dou Empire.

If she could, she truly wished she could take Ning Fengzhi and bear that suffering. "Your Majesty, this is what I should do. As long as it can avenge Qinghe, any sacrifice is worthwhile," Ning Fengzhi said in a deep voice.

Xue Ke sighed softly, then turned her gaze elsewhere. " Uncle Ning, do you think what I did was right?"

Ning Fengzhi was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected Xue Ke to ask such a question, but he was naturally very clever and immediately replied, "Your Majesty is the true supreme ruler, and everything you do is right. From a broader perspective, Your Majesty has done nothing wrong. The Star Luo Empire murdered Qinghe, that is an indisputable fact, and it is only natural for our country to go to war with the Star Luo Empire."

Xue Ke made up her mind to fight the Yu Star Luo Empire. Although this war might lead to the destruction of the Heaven Dou Empire, she was determined to fight to the end. Even if she died, she could proudly say to her brother that she had avenged him.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the Heaven Dou Empire will absolutely not be destroyed in your hands. Have you forgotten the military tally I left with you back then?"

"Of course I remember this matter, but didn't my brother take the military tally?"
