The Shattered Star Douluo and the Giant Hammer Douluo both had incredibly serious expressions. The power Kong Deming displayed had far exceeded their expectations.
And the most crucial thing was that they both knew very well that the true strength of a Soul Master lay in war, not in individual combat with Soul Masters!
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that even the destructive power of three Ultimate Douluos in a war might not be as great as that of a Super Douluo-level, Rank 9 Soul Master!
"What do we do? Should we help Shrek?"
The Giant Hammer Douluo's eyes flickered as he turned to the Shattered Star Douluo beside him and asked in a low voice.
The Shattered Star Douluo hesitated for a long time before finally shaking his head.
"No. Even if the two of us join in, we might not be able to keep Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen here. If they escape, the Sun Moon Empire will immediately launch a war against our Star Luo Empire. At that time, our Star Luo Empire will be facing the danger of destruction!"
The Giant Hammer Douluo fell silent, knowing that the Shattered Star Douluo spoke the truth.
With the overall strength of the Star Luo Empire, they wouldn't be able to withstand the Sun Moon Empire if they initiated a war right now.
Even with Shrek Academy added to the mix, the best they could hope for was a mutual destruction with the Sun Moon Empire, leaving the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Dou Ling Empire to reap the benefits.
Such a losing proposition was something that neither the Star Luo Empire nor even Xu Jiawei, the Emperor of Star Luo, would ever agree to!
While the Shattered Star Douluo and the Giant Hammer Douluo were agonizing over this, Mu En was using his Ultimate Douluo strength to fend off Kong Deming's various Soul Tool attacks. His expression became extremely grave.
He had originally thought that with his personal intervention this time, he could bring the geniuses from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy to Shrek Academy. Once they were inside, he would naturally have all sorts of ways to make them true members of Shrek.
If he could defeat Kong Deming in the shortest amount of time, then the old injuries on his body wouldn't be too badly affected.
But now, Kong Deming's strength had foiled all of Mu En's calculations.
Mu En was perfectly aware of his own physical condition; it wouldn't allow him to last long in a battle against a top-tier expert.
If he were to fight Kong Deming to the death, even if he didn't die, he would definitely be relying on the energy of the Dragon Core to hold on. If the Dragon Core were to fail to allow Bei Bei's martial soul to fully evolve as a result, then things would be very serious!
Realizing this, Mu En raised his hand again to block Kong Deming's attack and looked at the Great Offering of the Sun Moon Empire, saying in a deep voice, "Let's stop here, Kong Deming! Continuing this battle is meaningless and will only cause incalculable damage to the surroundings!"
Kong Deming glanced at the Shattered Star Douluo and the Giant Hammer Douluo on the other side, knowing that Mu En had deliberately amplified his voice, just to let the two of them hear.
Kong Deming knew that something was wrong with Mu En's physical condition. He couldn't last long in a battle between top-tier experts. At this rate, it wouldn't be long before Mu En might die at his hands.
And the reason he did this was definitely to drag the Shattered Star Douluo and the Giant Hammer Douluo into this! Mu En, this guy, was indeed different from Xuan Zi; at least he had a brain.
The facts proved that Mu En's strategy was indeed effective.
Shattered Star Douluo and Giant Hammer Douluo exchanged a glance, then stepped forward to stop the fight between Kong Deming and Mu En, as well as Jing Hongchen and Xuan Zi.
"Stop here! This is our Star Luo Empire's territory, not a battlefield for you."
Shattered Star Douluo and Giant Hammer Douluo were well aware that although Xu Jiawei had always wanted to weaken Shrek Academy, he never intended for it to be completely destroyed.
If Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen killed Mu En and Xuan Zi, it would be terrible news for the Star Luo Empire!
Because once something like that happened, the Sun Moon Empire would no longer have any reservations and would definitely launch a war against the Star Luo Empire, the Heaven Soul Empire, and the Dou Ling Empire at the first opportunity, aiming to unify the entire Douluo Continent!
Kong Deming saw the situation and exchanged a look with Jing Hongchen. Both of them rationally chose to stop.
After all, they were in the heartland of the Star Luo Empire. If they really fell out with the Star Luo Empire, the Title Douluos of Star Luo might really join forces with Mu En and Xuan Zi to keep them here forever!
Even if Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen were confident in their ability to leave safely with the various soul tools they had stored, what about Huo Yuhao and the others?
Huo Yuhao, Gu Yue Na, Xue Di (Snow Emperor), and Meng Hongchen were the strongest generation of the Sun Moon Empire!
Even if the two of them encountered an accident, they absolutely couldn't let Huo Yuhao and the others be harmed.
Whether it was Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen, or the other high-ranking officials of the Sun Moon Empire, they were very clear that as long as Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen were given enough time to grow, with the talent they possessed, they would easily become Super Douluos, or even Ultimate Douluos!
At that time, wouldn't it be easy for the Sun Moon Empire to unify the Douluo Continent?
With this in mind, Kong Deming looked at Mu En with a cold expression and said coldly.
"Mu En, I really hope you live long enough to see how your Shrek Academy will gradually crumble!"
Before Mu En could respond, Xuan Zi, who was standing beside him, was furious.
"What did you just say, you bastard? How dare you insult Shrek?!"
At this moment, Xuan Zi looked utterly disheveled.
First, he was beaten up by Jing Hongchen, the Shattered Star Douluo, and the Giant Hammer Douluo. Then, he was brutally beaten by Jing Hongchen again, his soul power depleted. The humiliation and anger in his heart had reached their peak, and he was now like a powder keg, ready to explode at the slightest spark.
Mu En glared at Xuan Zi fiercely. Wasn't this idiot causing enough trouble already?
If it weren't for Xuan Zi's incredibly stupid actions, how could this Soul Master Tournament have escalated to such a situation? Even Mu En was now afraid. He was afraid that when news of what happened at the tournament spread, Shrek would be ruined, ostracized by all the powers on the continent, and even the common people might no longer regard Shrek as a sacred place!
The good reputation that Shrek's ancestors had painstakingly built over ten thousand years was about to be destroyed by Xuan Zi in a single day!
In a certain sense, Xuan Zi was even more powerful than those who had led the era for ten thousand years in Shrek.
Mu En sighed inwardly, his expression grim as he met Kong Deming's gaze. "Don't worry, I won't let you down."
Kong Deming gave him a dismissive glance and went back to Star Luo City with Jing Hongchen. Since the Soul Master Tournament couldn't continue, they had to take Huo Yuhao and the others back to the Sun Moon Empire to prevent any further incidents.
Mu En also took a deep look at Xuan Zi before returning to Star Luo City.
He still hadn't figured out how to deal with the impact of Ma Xiaotao transforming into an Evil Soul Master in front of tens of thousands of people, or the Zhang Lexuan family, Leng Qiu Yu being threatened with her family, and Tang Ya being forced to become an Evil Soul Master as a scapegoat.
All these events, he, an old man, had to bear!
However, when Mu En saw his great-grandson, Bei Bei's, kidneys shattered, he completely lost it.
"Xuan Zi! Can you explain to me what the hell is going on?!"
