"Big surprise!"
"Hahaha! Old Poison, are you happy? Surprised?" Elder Xuan laughed, a thick hint of playfulness flashing in Gourmet Douluo's eyes. His fierce appearance was like a ferocious beast from the primordial era. "No, it should be Little Poison now!"
"Xuan Zi!" Poison Undying's furious roar echoed, his seventh 100,000-year spirit ring lighting up. The dark green giant's body instantly expanded to dozens of meters high, but the three 100,000-year spirit rings shining on him had no deterrent power at all. In front of the two hundred-meter-tall Spirit Avatars, he was like prey caught in a jar.
Poison Undying did not make a move.
Because he dared not.
One after another, Shrek's powerhouses had gathered around with unfriendly expressions, each with at least eight spirit rings. In fact, among these thirty-plus people, the number of Titled Douluo far exceeded Spirit Douluo. Black and blood-red spirit rings seemed ready to light up at a single command.
"Sect Master!" An elder of the Body Sect, a Titled Douluo, looked at Poison Undying, his spirit rings swirling around him, ready to strike at any moment.
"No one is allowed to move!" Poison Undying roared.
The dark green giant looked at the huge Light Holy Dragon Spirit Avatar in front of him. "Mu En, I've fallen into your trap this time. Let us leave, and this Sect Master promises never to trouble your Shrek again."
"Good, good a Body Sect!" Elder Xuan roared, "Coming to my Shrek to cause trouble, not only trying to snatch someone from my Shrek, but also trying to kill my Shrek students. You say leave and just leave, what do you take my Shrek Academy for?!"
The Light Holy Dragon's golden vertical pupils were filled with an icy expression. Dragon God Douluo Mu En's prestige was not built on soft-heartedness. Once someone crossed his bottom line, they became his sworn enemy. "Xuan Zi's words are my meaning, Poison Undying. I was able to kill Poison Must Die back then, and today I can kill you just the same!"
Golden and earthy yellow light enveloped the Body Sect members. The terrifying aura within compressed the space, making it hum, while outside, it was calm.
…
Inside Shrek Academy.
"External enemy attack, no need to panic. Dragon God Douluo Mu En has already controlled the situation. Teachers and students, continue with normal activities and classes. Repeat, external enemy…"
Yan Shaozhe's voice spread throughout the Academy.
Although he said so, students from all classes couldn't help but walk out of their classrooms, and even the teachers did the same, wanting to witness the demeanor of a peerless powerhouse.
Xu Jiujiu looked at the young man beside her. For some reason, she felt that the person the Body Sect was looking for was very likely An Zhen. She knew that people from the Body Sect had participated in the previous Starlight Auction, and she also knew that it was the Body Sect that had bid against An Zhen at that time. The Body Sect's goal was most likely the 100,000-year Spirit Beast embryo. Later, according to intelligence from the royal family's secret agents, it was discovered that someone resembling a Body Sect member had left Star Luo City carrying a corpse.
"The person they mentioned was indeed killed by me," An Zhen took the initiative to say, briefly explaining what happened when he encountered the Body Sect in Star Luo City.
"When my teacher was level ninety-eight, he had a big battle with Poison Undying's brother. His brother died from his injuries, and my teacher was also seriously injured at the time. Plus, Elder Xuan is younger than him, so that's probably why he's so arrogant, directly attacking Shrek," An Zhen explained.
"So that's it." Xu Jiujiu's face showed a look of understanding.
The Body Sect did not know that Dragon God Douluo was now unharmed, nor the news that Gourmet Douluo had advanced to Limit Douluo. But even so, they still dared to brazenly attack Shrek Academy. They truly were a group of audacious madmen.
An Zhen looked at the few people fighting in the sky, as if he had thought of something. A half-cherry-sized, half-purple bead suddenly appeared in his hand. Inside the crystal-clear bead, a layer of mist seemed to swirl, extraordinary and peculiar.
…
"Mu En, are you Shrek trying to fight to the death with me?!" Poison Undying's voice took on a ruthless edge. Thick dark green spirit power swirled around his body; wherever it passed, the air seemed to be corroded. "If so, even if it costs me this Life, I will definitely make your Shrek Academy suffer a great calamity."
"You can try." Mu En's expression remained unchanged. The massive Light Holy Dragon stretched its dragon body, and sacred light power flowed over its platinum scales.
"Hmm?" As if sensing something, Yan Shaozhe's figure suddenly dropped from the sky. When he rose back up, he already held half a crystal-clear purple bead and a communication spirit tool.
Yan Shaozhe's figure approached the Light Holy Dragon. "Teacher, you have a delivery and a spirit tool call."
Mu En:?
Shrek powerhouses:?
Poison Undying and Body Sect members:!
This was too disrespectful.
They were preparing for a big battle and negotiations! And you're answering the phone and signing for a delivery?!
"Hello, Teacher, can you hear me?" An Zhen's voice came from the spirit tool phone.
Mu En's spirit power took the extraordinary purple treasure bead. "I can hear you."
An Zhen's voice rang out in the high sky, "That Poison Undying, you said before that he and his brother both have poison on them. The item Senior Brother brought is the qiluo heart, which is the essence of a 100,000-year plant-type Spirit Beast. With it as the center, within a radius of dozens of meters, as long as it's not a god, any poison can be neutralized, even if it enters the bloodstream."
"This is impossible!" Poison Undying, hearing the voice, retorted.
His Body Sect's secondary awakening required being in extreme situations, walking on the boundary between Life and death, to stimulate the potential of the body martial soul and achieve its awakening. To meet this condition, he had cultivated various poisons since childhood. Although his Spirit was his body, he was no less proficient than a Super Douluo whose Spirit had a poison attribute.
Mu En didn't speak. A wisp of spirit power was injected into the qiluo heart. The spirit power, carrying a trace of purple mist, flew out and drifted towards Poison Undying. Poison Undying raised his hand, and a mass of dark green spirit power flew out. What qiluo heart? How could there be anything in this world that could neutralize his poison?
However, the next second, the dark green poison melted like spring snow the moment it touched the purple mist.
Poison Undying: Oh no!
"Why is there no sound?" An Zhen wondered.
"It's already been tested. It can neutralize poison," Mu En's voice rang out.
"How did you test it in this situation?" An Zhen's voice paused, then an exasperated voice rang out, "That idiot didn't directly use poison to cooperate with you, did he? Does he have no brain?"
"Hard to say." Mu En had originally intended to force a test, but he didn't expect the other party to be so cooperative.
"Bastard!"
Poison Undying was furious. He noticed the person on the spirit tool phone's address for Mu En. "You're An Zhen, who killed my Sect members!"
"You mean that big-headed doll? I killed him!"
"Bastard!" Poison Undying roared.
"Mu En, even without poison, with my ninety-eighth level power, can you completely stop me?!" Poison Undying looked as if he was ready to fight to the death if Mu En dared to move. "Let us leave, and today's matter will be as if it never happened."
"The Body Sect's location is within the Tianhun Empire, right?" An Zhen's voice rang out, "Poison Undying, do you think your old, weak, sick, and disabled can withstand Shrek Academy's retaliation?"
Yan Shaozhe frowned slightly. His junior brother's idea was a bit extreme.
"You are Shrek!" Poison Undying said, "So you can't do that."
An Zhen retorted, "Nonsense! Should good people suffer? Should good people be bullied?"
"Moreover, we are good people. By attacking Shrek, if you're not bad people, who is?! We are the maintainers of the continent's order. What are you? The culprits behind the beast tides, trampling human laws based on personal preference, wanting to snatch other people's students, and wanting to kill people and seize treasures when you see other people's treasures. How is such behavior any different from an Evil Soul Master?!"
Those who oppose good people are bad people!
An Zhen stood on the moral high ground.
"I think An Xiaozi is right." Gourmet Douluo nodded lightly. What kind of Body Sect? It was simply a den of bandits and robbers.
Elder Xuan explained the full story of the conflict between An Zhen and the Body Sect members.
"Teacher, they are too bullying!" Xian Liner said angrily, her Azure Flame Dragon Spear pointed at Poison Undying.
They wanted to snatch the 100,000-year Spirit Beast embryo, snatch Huo Yutong, and also kill An Zhen. If Elder Xuan hadn't been there, this would have almost destroyed the future of their Shrek Academy!
"Such behavior is simply in league with Evil Soul Masters!" A Sea God Pavilion elder said with an angry expression.
Angry emotions spread, and terrifying spirit power fluctuations appeared on the bodies of Shrek's powerhouses.
Poison Undying prepared for a desperate struggle.
"Poison Undying, do you dare to die?" An Zhen's playful voice suddenly rang out.
"You're scared?!" Poison Undying laughed loudly, "What's the harm in dying! At most, my Body Sect will retreat into seclusion again!"
"Once this matter spreads today, the Body Sect is destined to become an Evil Soul Master organization. Even if our Shrek Academy doesn't act, Poison Undying, you must have offended many enemies, right? Even if you are lucky enough to escape the reckoning of other enemies, what about the inheritance? What Spirit Master would join an Evil Soul Master Sect? Once you join, it's equivalent to being labeled an Evil Soul Master." An Zhen's voice, full of mockery, rang out.
Poison Undying fell silent.
"He doesn't have that ability," Mu En said softly, a hint of murderous intent in his cold voice.
"Roar~"
Suddenly, the gigantic Light Holy Dragon moved. The brilliant light seemed to transform into a great sun, and golden energy waves enveloped half the sky. At the same time, the massive earthy yellow fierce beast roared, and a rift that seemed to connect the universe and stars unfolded behind him. Countless yellow lights fell like a meteor shower, golden and earthy yellow intertwined, unshakeable like the might of heaven.
Mu En had murderous intent.
In his early years, due to the matter with Poison Must Die, he had a lot of contact with the Body Sect and naturally understood their way of doing things very well. Killing their Sect members was an undying hatred, and they intended to harm An Zhen and Huo Yutong. Given this, he absolutely could not leave this hidden danger for An Zhen and Huo Yutong, who had not yet fully grown.
…
"He's ruthless and doesn't talk much," An Zhen said, looking up at the sky with emotion.
At this moment, the sky above Shrek Academy, and even above Shrek City, was already covered by earthy yellow and golden flames. Only a faint dark green light could be seen struggling within, but in front of the two behemoths, it could only barely maintain a weak glow.
"An Zhen, you're too soft-hearted," Xu Jiujiu said, resting her head on her lover's shoulder. "An Zhen wants to analyze the pros and cons, make Poison Undying surrender, and achieve some goal?"
"Mm." An Zhen nodded lightly, reaching out to embrace Xu Jiujiu's slender waist. "If I were a Titled Douluo now, I would definitely go up there and twist Poison Undying's head off. But I'm not right now. If I let Teacher make a move and destroy other Sects, I feel like it would make Teacher difficult."
"So that's it." Xu Jiujiu was somewhat surprised by this reason.
"Someone is actually worried that Mu En is soft-hearted?" An old voice rang out. An Zhen and Xu Jiujiu turned their heads to look, only to see a white-haired old woman walking towards them. She was so old, as if she was already nearing the end of her Life, her face full of wrinkles. A gentle and intellectual green-haired beauty followed behind her. When she met An Zhen's gaze, she instantly lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong.
Xu Jiujiu's face showed a hint of surprise. She let go of An Zhen and respectfully performed a royal etiquette towards the old woman. "Jiu Jiu greets Medical Immortal Senior."
Medical Immortal Senior?
An Zhen quickly recalled information about this person in his mind.
Wang Xian'er, Medical Immortal Douluo, Imperial Enshrinement of the Star Luo Empire, Level 95 Super Douluo, Healing Angel Spirit, the continent's number one healing Spirit Master.
At the same time, she was one of the few people of the same generation as Teacher Mu En. Even Elder Xuan had to address her as Senior.
"Junior An Zhen greets Medical Immortal Senior." An Zhen performed a junior's bow.
"Senior? This old woman cannot bear that title from you!" Medical Immortal Douluo said irritably.
Xu Jiujiu was a little puzzled. Medical Immortal Senior seemed to have a lot of opinions about An Zhen. Wasn't Ms. Bi Ji on very good terms with Shrek during the Soul Fighting Competition? She was Gu Yuena's aunt.
Medical Immortal Douluo continued to speak about what had just happened, "Don't look at Mu En, this guy, usually appearing kind and benevolent. In the past, when he killed people, he was absolutely merciless. When he and Leaf Evening Water traveled the continent, they destroyed many Evil Soul Masters and Sects, all of them lawless individuals, like bandits. Compared to those Sects, this Body Sect is just stronger."
The Body Sect treated its own people well, but if placed on the continent, they were definitely of the chaotic alignment. If judged, Evil Soul Masters deserved to be cut into a thousand pieces, and they weren't much better. They had offended countless major powers; if not for their own strength, they would have been purged long ago.
Now, they even directly attacked Shrek Academy, trying to snatch other people's students and kill other people's students.
As long as one had the strength, who could swallow such an insult!
"Medical Immortal Senior." Yan Shaozhe's figure descended from the sky. Teacher was suppressing Poison Undying, Elder Xuan was violently suppressing the Body Sect's Titled Douluo, and there were other elders present; the battle was completely one-sided. Just now, reminded by Teacher, he realized that Medical Immortal Douluo Senior had actually come to their Academy.
"Please wait a moment, Teacher—"
"This old woman is not here to reminisce with Mu En." Medical Immortal Douluo interrupted Yan Shaozhe, "This old woman is here to cause trouble for this An Zhen kid!"
Yan Shaozhe frowned, "How has junior brother offended you?"
Even if you are a senior, you can't bully my junior brother.
"Senior Brother," An Zhen said softly, "During the competition, I 'seduced' Medical Immortal Senior's disciple, Sister Bi Ji."
Yan Shaozhe: …
