Chapter 147: Are you going to use force? Guess why Mu En didn't embarrass me?
"Who? Come out!"
Dark purple soul power appeared on Ling Shuang's body. He stared at a certain place with a vigilant look.
"Good boy, not bad." A slightly surprised voice sounded, and a figure appeared in front of Ling Shuang.
Seeing the person coming, Ling Shuang was slightly stunned, and then a mocking smile flowed from the corner of his mouth: "It turned out to be Old Xuan. I don't know why you came to me in the middle of the night?"
Old Xuan looked at Ling Shuang with a complicated expression.
To be honest, he was discovered by Ling Shuang just after he arrived, which made Old Xuan feel incredible.
Although he was not a soul master good at hiding, he was a Super Douluo of level 98 after all. According to common sense, even an ordinary Soul Douluo should find it hard to detect him, yet Ling Shuang, a Soul King, discovered him right away.
It must be said, he was worthy of being evaluated by Mu En as the only top genius in the world.
At this moment, Old Xuan understood why Mu En made an exception and allowed Huo Yuhao to take the dual cultivation path.
Facing a genius at this level, even with Ultimate Ice and twin martial souls, it was hard to see hope of surpassing him without some extraordinary measures.
After being amazed, came a sense of pity.
How could such a genius possess power and yet not serve their Shrek Academy!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have made this special trip today.
Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Old Xuan put on the arrogant attitude of an elder again: "I came here this time to discuss something with you."
Although the words said "discuss," Old Xuan's attitude was extremely domineering, as if giving alms to Ling Shuang.
"What do we have to discuss?" Ling Shuang said disdainfully.
He actually admired Old Xuan in a twisted way. Obviously, they had been at odds before, yet Old Xuan could still take the initiative to discuss things.
This level of shamelessness was... impressive.
"I know you have a grudge against the academy, so you came to Star Luo Royal Academy to participate in this competition, but the academy can't do anything about that matter. You really went too far, so the academy could only respond like that."
"But the academy is willing to give you a chance. This time, due to some accidents, the academy's official team had some issues. As long as you help the academy win the championship of this competition, the academy can write off everything and let you return to the academy."
Old Xuan completely ignored Ling Shuang's speechless gaze, and talked to himself with gusto, even becoming more and more excited as he spoke, as if Ling Shuang was begging to return to the academy.
"And I can promise you that as long as you help the academy win the championship of this competition, you can directly enter the inner courtyard upon return. It's not even impossible for you to qualify as one of the next Shrek Seven Devils. How about it?"
Old Xuan looked certain of victory. In his mind, Ling Shuang could not possibly refuse such a condition.
Returning to Shrek Academy and directly entering the inner courtyard, and even possibly becoming one of the next Shrek Seven Devils what an honor!
He never imagined Ling Shuang would reject such a "tempting" offer.
Looking at the confident Old Xuan in front of him, Ling Shuang's mouth twitched slightly.
He really couldn't understand how someone could be so blindly confident.
"You mean, you want me to withdraw from Star Luo Royal School and return to your Shrek Academy to help you win the championship?"
"Yes. The reason you joined Star Luo Royal Academy was because you still had feelings for Shrek and were dissatisfied. As long as you agree, all the conditions I just said will remain unchanged." Old Xuan still didn't realize Ling Shuang's extremely speechless look.
Ling Shuang rubbed his eyebrows and sighed.
How can someone be so ordinary yet so confident?
At first, he thought Old Xuan was going to tempt him with some soul bones, but it turned out to be such an offer that he didn't even know how to respond.
Do you really think your Shrek Academy is some holy land that everyone dreams of entering?
If it weren't for the Golden Ancient Tree, he wouldn't have gone to Shrek Academy at all, even if it meant attending the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy instead.
"I refuse." Ling Shuang expressed his stance directly.
This made Old Xuan's eyes widen. Clearly, he didn't expect Ling Shuang to reject such a "generous" offer.
"I have no attachment to your academy. The reason I joined Star Luo Royal Academy and helped them participate in this competition is simply because I promised Princess Xu Jiujiu."
"Goodbye." Ling Shuang made a gesture to see him off.
Old Xuan, who had been rejected, stood still, not intending to leave, his face grim.
In his eyes, Ling Shuang's rejection was a direct insult to Shrek Academy.
"In that case, don't blame me!"
The dark yellow soul power erupted from Old Xuan's body and surged toward Ling Shuang.
Since Ling Shuang refused to cooperate, he had to find a way to make him cooperate. Shrek's ten-thousand-year glory could not end here!
"Tsk tsk, this exposes your true face."
Facing Old Xuan's pressure, Ling Shuang's expression remained calm.
Of course, he was no match for a level 98 Old Xuan, but that didn't mean he was afraid of him.
There was no way Xue Di wouldn't notice such a disturbance.
The thick, dark yellow soul power pressed toward Ling Shuang with overwhelming force. Items in the room cracked and shattered under the pressure.
Ling Shuang sat, soul power protecting the space beneath him. His hair flew wildly, but the corners of his mouth curled into a mocking smile:
"Didn't Mu En tell you why he didn't embarrass me?"
As soon as these words came out, Old Xuan, who was filled with anger, suddenly sensed something, and his pupils shrank abruptly.
The next moment, a flash of cold light.
Old Xuan's entire body tensed, and his attack vanished in an instant as he turned around in alarm.
But he was still a step too late.
Blood splattered as a cold white longsword pierced through Old Xuan's chest.
If he hadn't moved just a bit, the sword would have pierced his heart it missed by mere centimeters!
Old Xuan retreated violently, rushed out of the room, and landed in the courtyard.
The white-robed Xue Di sheathed her sword, and the blood on the blade turned into frost, which then scattered into countless ice crystals, drifting away into the air.
Her pure white eyes were full of killing intent.
Xue Di first glanced at Ling Shuang. Seeing that he was unharmed, she walked out with the sword in hand.
In the courtyard, Old Xuan clutched the wound on his chest with one hand and looked at the white figure emerging from the room with a grave expression.
Wherever she stepped, frost spread just like the Far North!
He could feel the terrifying pressure emanating from that figure.
It was like facing Mu En himself!
So this was the mysterious powerhouse behind Ling Shuang?
Old Xuan never imagined that someone of this level would remain by Ling Shuang's side.
Damn it. He had completely miscalculated!
