"His specific name is unknown; all that is known is his title, Silver Moon!"

Bei Bei shook her head, indicating that she didn't know much either.

" Silver Moon?" Xuan Zi muttered these two words, then said, "I've never even heard of it!"

Bei Bei added, "That's what Xuan Zu said too, but I've met that person, and he is undoubtedly Titled Douluo."

Shrek Academy's understanding of the Sun Moon Empire was extremely limited. In the original story, it was only during the final war that swept across the entire continent that they learned that the Sun Moon Empire actually had so many Titled Douluo.

Kong Deming has always been dedicated to the research of Soul Tool. Although he was a genius for a time, he never participated in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament, so his reputation did not spread Sun Moon.

"These Level 9 Soul Engineer of the Sun Moon Empire are nothing special; they don't even have a Super Douluo. Their combat strength relying on external aids is negligible."

Xuan Zi wore a disdainful expression, clearly looking down on Soul Engineer.

Not wanting to say more about this matter, he added, "Alright, let's not worry about their cultivation levels. Everyone should just do their best in this competition."

Wang Yan noticed the embarrassment on Xuan Zi's face and said, "No matter who our opponent is tomorrow, no matter what the battle format we draw, the tactics have already been arranged. Everyone should get some rest and conserve their energy for tomorrow's round-robin competition."

With the support of Soul King Zhu Yu and Tang Mingxuan, everyone felt much more relaxed and left with smiles on their faces, unlike before when they were frowning.

Xuan Zi stood up, holding his wine gourd, and looked at Wang Yan, saying, "Kid, arrange a room for me. I'll be staying here for the rest of the competition."

In any case, having a Super Douluo in charge is a good thing, and Wang Yan can finally breathe a sigh of relief. These past two days, he, as Soul King, has been under tremendous pressure.

"Don't worry, Xuan Zi, there are plenty of empty rooms. We will arrange comfortable accommodations for you."

Wang Yan said a few words, then his expression turned serious. "However, Xuan Zi, there is something I need to report to you. I think we should send this message back to the academy as soon as possible."

"Hmm?" Xuan Zi's drunkenness subsided somewhat, and he asked, "Why are you so serious? What's the matter?"

Wang Yan took a deep breath and said, " Xuan Zi, you didn't see the battle at Mingdu Royal Soul Engineer Academy today. The reserve team members they sent out weren't Soul Engineer!"

"Not Soul Engineer?" Xuan Zi laughed, "Haha, then how could he be Soul Master?"

"They are true Soul Master!"

Wang Yan's words instantly stopped Xuan Zi's smile. He frowned and said, "Has the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy gone mad? Instead of properly researching Soul Tool, they've started training Soul Master? Can they even train them properly?"

"Everyone else plays to their strengths and avoids their weaknesses, but they're playing to their weaknesses and avoiding their strengths!"

Hearing Xuan Zi's slightly sarcastic tone, Wang Yan knew that he didn't take the matter to heart at all.

He sighed inwardly; Shrek Academy's millennia-long glory seemed to have truly blinded many people.

The cultivation level of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's reserve team this time is enough to demonstrate their ability in cultivating Soul Master.

" Xuan Zi, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy has now established a Soul Master class, and many of the teachers there come from the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, and even..."

Seeing Xuan Zi's increasingly serious expression, Wang Yan added, "Some of them are even from Shrek Academy, so training them to become Soul Master shouldn't be a problem."

Xuan Zi's gaze instantly sharpened. "There really are people from Shrek Academy who have joined Sun Moon?!"

His tone was one of shock and disbelief; he simply couldn't believe that someone could "defect to the enemy and betray their country" under Shrek's "brainwashing"!

Wang Yan nodded, clearly able to sense the fury emanating from Xuan Zi, a power befitting Super Douluo.

Xuan Zi's eyes involuntarily flashed with a fierce look. "As a student of Shrek, you actually betrayed your own academy and joined Sun Moon Academy!"

"Who... who is he?!"

Seeing Xuan Zi's expression, Wang Yan hesitated.

He was worried that if he Ren Jun's name and current identity, Xuan Zi would rush to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, which was also on the top floor of the hotel, and then attack him!

If that happens, it might even escalate into a major war between the two sides.

Based on Wang Yan's understanding of Xuan Zi, he was absolutely capable of doing such a thing.

But if he doesn't tell me, judging from Xuan Zi's determined attitude, he'll probably have to ask him himself for an explanation.

Wang Yan now regrets telling Xuan Zi about this.

However, seeing Xuan Zi's ruthless gaze, he pondered for a moment and then uttered a name.

Ren Jun!

Upon hearing this, Xuan Zi's gloomy face showed a thoughtful expression, clearly not remembering who this " Ren Jun " was.

Wang Yan sighed inwardly, feeling a sense of shared sorrow for the passing of his comrade.

Ren Jun lost a leg due to Xuan Zi's negligence, and now Xuan Zi doesn't even remember his name!

No wonder he caused two more accidents while leading his team afterward; he clearly didn't learn from his previous mistakes!

" Xuan Zi, Ren Jun was once an Inner Court student at the academy, and later stayed on as a teacher."

Wang Yan added a reminder: there aren't many students who meet these criteria anymore.

The anger surging in Xuan Zi's chest was like a torrent suddenly Ice Seal. The rebukes that were about to burst out of his throat were stuck between his teeth, and even the throbbing veins on his forehead slowly subsided.

The anger on his face faded visibly, replaced by an almost hollow calm, as if the person who had just been glaring angrily was merely a phantom of someone else.

Ren Jun... This name is like a rusty nail, suddenly driven into the deepest corner of my memory that I least want to touch.

Memories, like spilled ink, quickly spread through my mind.

The out-of-control mini-beast horde, the towering flames, and the panicked cries of the boys...

Xuan Zi's breath hitched suddenly, and his knuckles turned white from the effort.

Ren Jun, who was a teacher at the Outer Court at the time, stayed behind alone to cover the retreat in order to protect his students.

However, Ren Jun, who was only Seven-Ring Soul Sage, could not hold out for long under the siege of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

By the time he rushed back from afar, it was too late. More than half of the dozen or so trainees were dead or injured, and Ren Jun had also lost his right leg.

Thinking back carefully, apart from visiting Ren Jun a few times out of guilt right after the accident, he gradually forgot about him afterwards.

He didn't even know when he left the academy.

If the other party ultimately joined the Sun Moon Empire because of this incident, then he is the mastermind behind Ren Jun, and he cannot escape blame!

So in that instant, Xuan Zi, who was still burning with anger, suddenly calmed down.

Wang Yan felt somewhat relieved upon seeing this; at least it seemed that Xuan Zi wouldn't go to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy to cause trouble.

"What happened back then, I'm the one who wronged him!"

Xuan Zi's voice was somewhat hoarse, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

But then he added, "The academy has no right to interfere with where he wants to go after leaving, but the knowledge he possesses is the accumulated experience of the Shrek Academy over ten thousand years. I absolutely will not allow him to pass this knowledge on to the Sun Moon!"

Wang Yan was taken aback by these words, and was somewhat speechless. So Xuan Zi had only felt guilty earlier, and wasn't planning to let Ren Jun off the hook?!

Wang Yan said in a trembling voice, " Xuan Zi, please don't do anything rash!"

Xuan Zi glanced at him. "Don't worry, I won't make a move now."

"I want to see just how good his students at Sun Moon Academy really are."

"As for the reckoning, we'll talk about that after the match."

Seeing Xuan Zi's resolute gaze, Wang Yan knew that he probably wasn't planning to let Ren Jun return to the Sun Moon Empire.
