After the Sea God Pavilion Meeting ended, Yan Shaozhe was the first to leave.
He was a power-hungry man, and Mu En's removal of him from his position as dean of the Martial Soul Department fueled his resentment.
However, he dared not reveal the slightest bit of his true feelings to his teacher, a Limit Douluo.
He didn't want to face anyone from the Sea God Pavilion, because it would make him feel ashamed.
I knew you'd be here!
However, Yan Shaozhe was eventually found by his wife, Cai Mei'er, who would become the next dean of the Martial Soul Department.
Yan Shaozhe turned his head away without saying a word.
Cai Mei'er said softly, "I know you're doing this for the academy, but your thinking is indeed too extreme."
Yan Shaozhe turned around, looked at the wife he had ultimately chosen, and asked, "Even you think my idea was wrong?!"
Despite wanting to comfort her husband, Cai Mei'er still had her bottom line.
She was silent for a moment before speaking, " Mu En is right, you really need to calm down. Even for the sake of the academy, you can't resort to any means necessary."
Yan Shaozhe opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say, feeling as if no one in the world understood him.
In that instant, a figure flashed into his mind; although it had been decades since they last met, he missed him terribly at that moment.
He took a deep breath to calm his agitated emotions and said, "It has been confirmed that the Holy Spirit Cult is located within the territory of Sun Moon. I plan to set off for Sun and Sun Moon tomorrow."
Mu En sent him to investigate the Holy Spirit Cult, and he took this opportunity to find Feng Ling!
The woman I once loved most should be able to understand me.
However, the thought that Feng Ling was now married to someone else made Yan Shaozhe feel a surge of irritation.
Cai Mei'er asked, "So soon? Leaving tomorrow?"
Yan Shaozhe nodded. "I do need to calm down. I can't stay in the academy any longer."
Cai Mei'er said with some worry, "I don't know how many Titled Douluo this Holy Spirit Cult has, but Evil Soul Master always have some Evil yet powerful abilities. You need to be careful when you get to the Sun Moon."
Yan Shaozhe nodded perfunctorily, then added, "From now on, you'll be in charge of the Martial Soul Department. Also, tell the Inner Court students that if they can defeat Kong Xuan, it would be best to keep the exchange students from the Sun Moon and Moon Academy in the Outer Court."
"If we can't stop them, then we need to be more careful in the Inner Court in the future, and make sure they don't come into contact with Shrek's core knowledge."
Compared to Yan Shaozhe's suggestion to eliminate Kong Xuan, what was said at this moment was much "gentler".
Therefore, Cai Mei'er nodded and accepted it all.
But then she asked, "From what you're saying, it seems you really think Kong Xuan is the winner?"
Yan Shaozhe's expression turned serious. He shook his head but didn't say anything more, "You all underestimated him. After this is over, everyone should know how terrifying he is."
"Hopefully, you won't regret not listening to my advice later!"
" Brother Xuan! Brother Xuan!"
Xu Wei rushed into the dormitory building from outside, and Kong Xuan heard his shouts before he even entered the room.
The door opened, Xu Wei looked at Kong Xuan, who had just finished his cultivation, and exclaimed, " Brother Xuan, you're really something else right now!"
Kong Xuan glanced at Xu Wei, but remained silent, waiting for him to continue.
Despite Kong Xuan's repeated urging of Xu Wei to seize the time to cultivate.
But that's just Xu Wei's personality; even if he were to cultivate according to his own will, his mind wouldn't be on it.
In the end, Kong Xuan simply stopped trying to persuade him. After all, Xu Wei's talent was quite good, and he was expected to be promoted to a title in the future, and becoming a Super Limit Douluo, it was probably impossible without some opportunity.
Xu Wei, who frequently travels outside, is now just as familiar with Shrek Outer Court's outer courtyard as any of the students here.
Moreover, he actually made quite a few friends at the Shrek Academy. Whether they were genuine or not is unclear, but his information network was definitely the most extensive.
Xu Wei sat down on the bed opposite Kong Xuan, excitedly saying, " Brother Xuan, you don't know, the Soul Fighting Arena's loudspeaker just announced that you'll be fighting against an Inner Court student tomorrow."
"All other Soul Fighting Arena will be closed tomorrow. I reckon all the Shrek Academy students will be there to watch your duel with the Inner Court students!"
Kong Xuan smiled and said, "It seems these people from Shrek really have confidence in themselves."
In Kong Xuan's view, Shrek's high-profile publicity was certainly not intended to show the trainees that they had lost.
But then I thought, even if I win in the end, there's nothing to brag about in Soul Douluo defeating Soul Emperor.
In the end, Kong Xuan felt that this might be Mu En's decision, using this opportunity to make all the students realize that they were no longer the strongest, so that they could learn from their mistakes and strive to improve.
Xu Wei had complete confidence in Kong Xuan, saying, "Hmph! When all those Inner Court students are defeated by Brother Xuan, their faces will look very good."
Kong Xuan was full of confidence in his own strength and had no worries about tomorrow's duel.
At this moment, he also thought of Huo Yuhao's challenge at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy in the original novel, which had tricked Jing Hongchen out of a lot of rare metals.
Thinking about it this way, isn't it a bit of a loss that I only got a spot in the Inner Court?
However, Shrek Academy didn't have anything particularly worthwhile for him to plan. Entering the Golden Tree to cultivate could be considered one option, but Shrek Academy would absolutely not agree to it.
The announcement over the loudspeaker in the Soul Fighting Zone instantly ignited the enthusiasm of all the students in Shrek Outer Court!
The message spread like wildfire, quickly reaching every corner of classrooms, dormitories, canteens, and training grounds.
Upon hearing this news, the vast majority of students from the Outer Court reacted with extreme shock and disbelief, followed by almost unanimous ridicule and skepticism.
Almost no one believed that Kong Xuan had any chance of winning.
Although Kong Xuan had also demonstrated overwhelming strength against the Outer Court Outer Court students, making them afraid to provoke him.
But the Inner Court is different. In the minds of these Outer Court students, the Inner Court is a sacred and powerful place, a goal they look up to and strive for.
A Soul Emperor from the Sun Moon Empire dared to challenge the entire Inner Court. In their eyes, this was tantamount to a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and was utterly overestimating his own abilities!
However, the students who had participated in the last All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament were not as optimistic as the others.
They had witnessed firsthand that Kong Xuan displayed the combat power of Soul Saint even when he was Soul King.
Now that Kong Xuan is Soul Emperor, defeating Soul Douluo is not an impossible task.
And so, in this atmosphere, the entire academy is about to officially witness the showdown between Kong Xuan and the Inner Court!
The following day, as the first rays of dawn pierced the clouds, Shrek Academy's largest central Soul Fighting Arena was already bustling with activity, as if boiling water.
This massive Soul Guidance Arena, capable of holding tens of thousands of people, is packed to capacity today!
The stands were packed with people; almost the entire academy's students, teachers, and even many support staff had flocked there. The cacophony of voices merged into a massive wave of sound that echoed across the Soul Fighting Arena.
On the exclusive viewing platform at the highest level, where the best view was available, sat several figures with auras as deep as the sea. These were the elders of the Sea God Pavilion!
Even those who are usually elusive and rarely seen were drawn to this unusual duel.
They also wanted to see just how powerful this genius of the Sun Moon, whom Yan Shaozhe was so wary of and whom Mu En had made a bet with, really was!
