Even though Dai Hao was Soul Douluo, he didn't really understand that duel, so he was completely baffled about Xuan Zi's fate.

However, he had heard the analyses of Heavenly Fiend Douluo and Giant Strength Douluo before, and he thought they made a lot of sense.

Therefore, he said, " Xuan Zi should be out of danger; he's probably trapped by this Silver Moon Douluo's spatial abilities."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief; as long as they were alive, that was all that mattered.

Only Wang Yan remained frowning; compared to his students, he, as the teacher, clearly had more issues to consider.

"I'm back!"

Suddenly, a shout rang out.

The silence of Star Luo Plaza was instantly broken as everyone saw two figures suddenly appear in the sky above the square— Kong Deming and his grandson Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan floated down from mid-air and returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's team.

The crowd immediately gathered around, chattering and asking about Kong Xuan's condition.

Kong Xuan said loudly, "Don't worry, everyone, I'm fine."

After saying this, he looked at Kong Ling and Meng Hongchen, who had moved closer to him.

Seeing their slightly red eyes, she raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her younger sister Kong Ling's eyes. "Why are you still crying?"

Kong Ling said in a tearful voice, "Brother! You scared me to death! I thought..."

Meng Hongchen's voice choked with sobs. "We thought we'd never see you again. Where did this Titled Douluo come from, that he actually attacked you?"

Kong Xuan held Meng Hongchen's slightly cool hand, and seeing the curious gazes of the people around them, he did not reveal the truth.

He casually remarked, "I don't know which faction's Titled Douluo he was, but he's already been wiped out by my grandfather!"

"Your Majesty Silver Moon!"

At this moment, a shout attracted everyone's attention, causing them to shift their gaze away from Kong Xuan.

It was Wang Yan who spoke!

Although he was only a Soul King, he still demonstrated the responsibility he should have in crucial moments.

As the teacher leading the Shrek Academy team, he was now eager to know Xuan Zi's situation.

Seeing Kong Deming cast his gaze, Wang Yan took a deep breath and mustered his courage to ask, "Your Majesty, may I ask how Xuan Zi of my academy is doing now?"

Kong Deming glanced at Wang Yan. Even if Wang Yan hadn't asked, he would have brought it up himself. After all, he couldn't keep Xuan Zi detained indefinitely, nor could he simply kill him.

Kong Dongmei remained calm, her tone slightly cold, and said, " Xuan Zi attacked a teacher from my Sun Moon Yellow Royal Soul Engineer Academy, and then, disregarding his status, bullied the younger generation and tried to take down my grandson. I have already captured him and am preparing to punish him slightly."

Kong Deming's voice reached the ears of everyone in Star Luo Plaza, and everyone who heard it felt a tremor in their heart.

This statement struck them as casual, as if the object of punishment was merely an ordinary Soul Master.

But in reality, this is a Level 98 Super Douluo!

Kong Deming's relaxed tone instilled confidence in them regarding his own abilities, and his previous performance was sufficient to demonstrate his strength.

A sense of humiliation rose in Wang Yan's heart, but he was unable to refute it.

It wasn't just because of Kong Deming's formidable strength, but also because he felt that Xuan Zi's previous actions had gone too far.

Xuan Zi has reaped what he sowed, voluntarily handing over his weakness to others!

" Xuan Zi did act impulsively, but he is a senior member of the academy. I wonder how Your Majesty Silver Moon can release Xuan Zi?"

Wang Yan, quick-witted, guessed that Kong Deming must have had a purpose in capturing Xuan Zi, so he took the initiative to steer the conversation toward that.

However, Kong Deming did not continue on this topic, but instead asked, "I heard that Shrek Academy intends to exchange students with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy?"

"That's right!"

Wang Yan nodded; it was he who had told Ren Jun this information.

But for the others in the square, the news was indeed quite explosive.

They never expected that these two colleges would actually "cooperate"!

Especially Xu Jiawei, the Star Luo Emperor on the city wall, became solemn upon hearing this news, his eyes filled with doubt, wondering what Shrek was up to.

Kong Deming already had a plan in mind, and immediately said, "Since that's the case, then let the Shrek Academy people go to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy in person to discuss how to redeem your elder, and also to discuss the exchange of students between the two sides."

This proposal was finalized on Kong Xuan's journey back to the Star Luo Empire.

What does the word "redemption" represent?

This represents "ceding territory and paying reparations"!

When has Shrek Academy ever suffered such humiliation?!

These two words deeply stung the hearts of all the Shrek members present. Their expressions ranged from resentment to anger, and they etched this moment into their memories.

Wang Yan clenched his fists; given the current situation, he had no choice but to compromise.

"I will relay Her Majesty Silver Moon's message back to the academy for a decision!"

Compared to the arrogance Kong Deming had imagined Shrek would display, Wang Yan's attitude pleased him greatly. He reminded Wang Yan, "Remember to send someone who can take charge. I don't want just a mouthpiece to come."

Wang Yan solemnly replied, "This junior has taken note. I humbly request that Your Majesty treat Xuan Zi well during this time."

It would have been better if Wang Yan hadn't mentioned it, because the mere mention of it made Kong Deming think of how Xuan Zi dared to lay a hand on his precious grandson, and he immediately felt a surge of anger.

He scoffed, "Don't worry, with Xuan Zi's cultivation level, going hungry for a few days won't hurt him."

Upon hearing this, the Shrek Academy members' expressions changed. Other Super Douluo could go without food for a few days without any problems, but Xuan Zi's situation was a different story.

For Xuan Zi, eating was the most important thing.

However, remembering how Xuan Zi had almost caused their entire army to be wiped out while searching for food, they felt a strange sense of pleasure at the impending event.

But they quickly suppressed this sense of anticipation, realizing that thinking that way was wrong.

Wang Yan thought to himself, "It seems I need to get the academy to make a decision as soon as possible."

The audience at Star Luo Plaza held their breath, listening intently to the conversation between Kong Deming and Wang Yan.

Even though they had anticipated the outcome, they still found it hard to believe that Wang Yan had agreed to Kong Deming's request.

Because Shrek finally lowered its noble head, just as Xu Jiawei had hoped not long ago, the Shrek myth was shattered in people's hearts!

After dealing with Shrek Academy, Kong Deming disappeared into the air, only to reappear standing on the city wall of the imperial city.

Seeing Kong Deming right in front of him, Xu Jiawei's heart skipped a beat. He kept telling himself that he was the Star Luo Emperor and he had to stay calm so as not to lose his composure.

The two great Guardian Douluo, Heavenly Fiend and Ju Li, immediately stepped forward to shield Xu Jiawei behind them, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Judging from the brief exchange between Kong Deming and Xuan Zi, if Kong Deming wanted to attack Xu Jiawei, neither of them could provide any protection no matter where they stood.

However, since they have been offered tribute by the Star Luo Empire, they naturally have to demonstrate their loyalty and value at crucial moments.

"You two need not be alarmed. I believe Her Majesty the Silver Moon is not one to abuse force."

Xu Jiawei spoke calmly, but no one knew the panic in his heart.

The two Guardian Douluo stepped aside, and Kong Deming's tall figure was once again displayed in front of Xu Jiawei.

He asked with a smile, "What brings Your Majesty the Silver Moon here?"
