—------------------—
A wonderful misunderstanding occurred on Zhang Peng's side, but Yan Shaozhe didn't understand the other party's "secret language". He rolled his eyes and said angrily:
"Zhang Peng? It's you! Do you still remember how Mr. Mu let you go back then?"
"Hehehe, of course I haven't forgotten the majesty of Dragon God Douluo. I was just sucking some soul beast blood to practice and was caught and beaten by him. How can it compare to the actions you Shrek take day after day?"
When Zhang Peng saw that the Holy Son recognized him, he immediately responded by severely lowering Shrek's image.
"How dare you slander me!"
Yan Shaozhe roared in anger, and the light of the Phoenix rose from behind him. His body shook, and the next moment he appeared within ten feet in front of Zhang Peng. The flame of the Phoenix on his arm was burning fiercely, and the temperature of the entire hall rose rapidly.
"I'm telling the truth!"
Zhang Peng did not give in. A black ball of light appeared in front of him out of thin air. A gray-black halo enveloped his body. His right hand transformed into a huge tiger claw shadow, and he bravely faced Yan Shaozhe's Bright Phoenix Flame Palm.
There was only a loud cry of a phoenix and a domineering roar of a tiger, and the two super Douluo-level powerhouses had already exchanged several moves, with light and shadow interweaving, and they were almost evenly matched.
"Bang!"
In the lobby, another leading teacher from Douling Royal Academy stomped his foot violently, and suddenly tall, ferocious dark yellow earth spikes grew out of the ground, forming a circle and blocking all the aftermath of the collision between the two men.
This was not because he was kind-hearted, but because the students of Douling Royal Academy were the closest to the battlefield. If he did not take action to stop them, his own people would be the first to suffer.
Yan Shaozhe and Zhang Peng had been fighting for several moves but neither had gained the upper hand. Just when he was feeling extremely anxious, he suddenly sensed a very familiar aura from the earth spike. His face changed drastically, and he turned around and shouted angrily, almost shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Xuan Zi! It's you, you beast! You beast! How dare you appear in front of the Shrek people!"
Yan Shaozhe roared until his face turned red, and he wished he could kill Xuanzi with one blow. It was obvious that he was extremely angry.
The man in black called "Xuan Zi" slowly raised his head, his pupils as dark as black holes, moved his body, stepped onto the battlefield, and threw an ordinary punch at Yan Shaozhe.
Yan Shaozhe raised his arm to meet the attack, and suddenly felt a tremendous force coming from the opponent's dark fist, which shocked Yan Shaozhe so much that he stepped back several steps and only stopped when his body hit the earth spikes.
The expression of the tenth elder of Haotian Sect changed, and he immediately summoned the Haotian Hammer to smash the earth spikes. He stood side by side with Yan Shaozhe, guarding the front.
"Dean Yan, how are you?" The tenth elder of Haotian Sect saw that Yan Shaozhe's right hand was shaking constantly, and a dark yellow light was lingering around him.
"It's okay. I didn't expect that this beast's cultivation has recovered a lot." Yan Shaozhe shook his head, boosted the Bright Phoenix Flame, and burned the brutal soul power that Xuanzi's punch brought into his body. He was secretly shocked.
The soul power level of Xuan Zi's attack was clearly one step away from Super Douluo, but he was completely unable to resist. The quality of his Taotie soul power was much stronger than before, and he was very difficult to deal with. The power of his qi and blood was also extremely powerful.
Thinking about how this beast had killed a large number of elites from his martial arts department over the years, and all his teachers and disciples had been harmed by it, and today Beibei had been harmed by it again, Yan Shaozhe was burning with anger.
He stared intently at Xuan Zi, whose pupils showed no change, as if he had just done something ordinary, and said through gritted teeth:
"Xuan Zi, I really regret not persuading the teacher to kill you, the beast. You took Tang Ya away just for this day, right?"
"You are so cruel to our teacher's descendants. Aren't you afraid that our teacher's heroic spirit is not far away and will kill you, the number one traitor in Shrek!
Xuan Zi did not respond, but sneered from under his black robe, as if mocking the other party's ignorance and incompetence.
Zhang Peng laughed heartily, landing behind Xuan Zi and cupping his fists. He then loudly defended Xuan Zi, "Yan Shaozhe, you're completely wrong. The man standing before you is the head of the Holy Spirit Cult's Worship Hall, our Cult's greatest contributor over the years! Your Majesty the Taotie, Elder Xuan!"
"From the very beginning, Elder Xuan was our former leader, a general under Lord Zhongli. He entered your Shrek for this very day! I wonder if Elder Mu ever told you how your great-grandmaster died before he died? That was Lord Zhongli's masterpiece!"
"So what if he's the Seagod Pavilion Master? We in the Holy Spirit Sect not only killed one, but we even killed him head-on! And that was a Ultimate Douluo in his prime! You're not far behind. This is your fate!"
"Even my master was killed by you! Xuanzi, did you provide them with information?"
When Yan Shaozhe heard this, his raging rage almost devoured his sanity. The Phoenix Flame of Light burned wildly, released from his body and spread outward. He wished he could burn everything and fight to the death with the other party!
Back then, Ye Xishui attacked Shrek because of the betrayal of the two holy dragons of light and darkness, and was defeated by Mu En. Mu En'sTeacher discovered that she had the tendency of being an evil soul master and trapped her in the Sea God Pavilion. Soon after, many evil soul masters attacked Shrek, and the leader was Zhongli Laogui, who was extremely powerful.
Mu En's teacher, the then Lord of the Sea God Pavilion, fought fiercely with him. Although he managed to repel him, he died tragically from his injuries not long after.
When that incident happened, only Mu En En and Xuan Zi were in the academy among the elders of the Sea God Pavilion. Yan Shaozhe learned about it from Mu En and was filled with hatred. He didn't want his scars to be exposed today. How painful it must be!
The Phoenix of Light burst into flames and leaped out. The ten elders of Haotian Sect tried to stop it but failed. The soul ring around Yan Shaozhe rose, and it was obvious that he was going to fight for real.
Zhang Peng and Xuan Zi tensed their bodies, with soul rings rising around them, waiting seriously.
However, at this moment, a terrifying pressure that penetrated the heavens and the earth suddenly descended upon the hall. The tremendous pressure caused the soul power fluctuations of the three masters to instantly dissipate and flow back into their bodies.
"If you want to fight, go fight outside Mingdu. Don't disturb the peace of Mingdu."
The three of them looked up and saw the space in the air distorted, and two figures walked out of it. The leader, Kong Deming, was dressed in linen clothes, with a solemn aura and the pressure of a top master.
Beside him was Xu Tianxi with a solemn expression. The young man was dressed in a black and white military shirt, with clear and bright eyes. He was not at all nervous when facing the three masters, and his temperament was outstanding.
Seeing that it was Kong Deming, Zhang Peng secretly said that he had come at the perfect time. He collected his martial spirit ring and laughed:
"I didn't expect our little farce would actually alarm Elder Kong. I thought it would be His Majesty the Starry Sky or the Lord of the Red Dust Hall who would come."
Kong Deming glanced at him and said:
"With so many of you experts here, how can I not come here in person to take charge? I have no interest in getting involved in the feud between you and Shrek, but this is Mingdu, not a place for you to run wild."
"I'll also convey this to your Supreme Leader on my behalf. If she wants to do anything in Mingdu, I'll join her in settling the score for your last attack on Mingdu."
"Okay." Zhang Peng agreed readily. He didn't dare to show off in front of an Extreme Douluo-level expert.
On the other side, Yan Shaozhe stopped his actions after being comforted by the Tenth Elder of Haotian Sect. He snorted angrily and seemed very unhappy.
"I'm putting this on notice today. Any grudges you have can be settled on the field or elsewhere, but you are not allowed to act recklessly in Mingdu. Otherwise, don't blame me, the Sun-Moon Empire's soul guide, for being rude."
Kong Deming looked around the audience, a solemn look flashing across his brows.
Zhang Peng clapped his hands and laughed, "Master Kong's words are quite impressive. The one next to you is the renowned Lord of Heavenly Court, right? The one who killed Yan Shaozhe's direct disciple in Xingluo City five years ago?"
Yan Shaozhe suddenly looked up and stared at Xu Tianxi. Is this the beast who killed Xiaotao and Mei'er?
Xu Tianxi's expression remained unchanged as he spoke loudly to Zhang Peng, "That person is not only Yan Shaozhe's disciple, but also a promising evil spirit master that your Holy Spirit Sect Leader is optimistic about. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to kill her."
"Back then, I gifted your deputy leader eighteen seventh-level fixed-type soul guide shells. I wonder how Deputy Leader Feng Ling's injuries are doing?"
Yan Shaozhe's eyes flickered. This little beast had also attacked Feng Ling?
Zhang Peng's face turned cold when he heard this. He forced a smile and said in a cold tone, "Don't worry. The deputy leader has the evil phoenix spirit and is in good health."
"Whether it's the Evil Phoenix or the Light Phoenix, if you forget the pain, you will die one day. Think twice before you act." Xu Tianxi spoke coldly, with no disguising the hostility in his words.
"Haha, thank you for your advice. Let's go!" Zhang Peng knew that it was impossible to do anything to Xu Tianxi now, so he didn't bother to argue. He sneered twice and led his men away.
Seeing Zhang Peng and the others leave, Xu Tianxi's eyes fell on Yan Shaozhe and said, "Why don't you leave? How long do you plan to embarrass yourself?"
Yan Shaozhe rolled his eyes upon hearing this, stared at Xu Tianxi, and asked, "You little bastard, were you the one who led the team to kill Xiaotao and Mei'er?"
Xu Tianxi smiled slightly and replied, "When you Shrek attacked the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy last time, more people fell to me."
"You..." Yan Shaozhe's emotions, which had just calmed down, were about to boil over again.
Xu Tianxi would not indulge this old man, staring at Yan Shaozhe's old eyes, and said coldly:
"You claim to be a neutral holy academy, a beacon of light to the world, but you actually bully the weak and bring chaos to the world. You wantonly interfere in the internal affairs of the four empires, launch terrorist attacks, rob the crown prince of the previous dynasty, and attempt to support and depose him. This is you, Shrek!"
"For over two years, you've used every possible means to steal my Heavenly Court's soul technology. We captured and strangled a Titled Douluo in public, and you shamelessly announced that the Titled Douluo wasn't from Shrek. It's truly disgusting!"
"What they do is only marginally better than the Holy Spirit Church, and at least they don't claim to be righteous."
"You little bastard, you are slandering us Shrek!"
Yan Shaozhe had never been scolded like this by a young man before, so today was an eye-opener.
"Whether it's slander or not, you know it yourself, and the people of the Sun-Moon Empire know it too. Rest well today and prepare for defeat."
Xu Tianxi spoke wildly, and it was obvious from his words that he did not take the Shrek people seriously at all.
There was really no need to take a team with only seven rings at most seriously. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have dragged out the elders of these people's families and beat them up.
Yan Shaozhe was so angry that his whole body was shaking, but he couldn't fight back. Kong Deming's pressure was always on him, making it difficult for him to even breathe.
At this time, a figure walked out from among the Shrek crowd. She had a beautiful face, with long pink-blue hair tied into a ponytail and falling behind her head. Her eyes were arrogant and strong. She stared at Xu Tianxi and said proudly:
"You will pay the price for your words. Shrek is not the same Shrek as before."
Hearing this, Xu Tianxi's eyes flickered slightly. He looked directly at the woman who should now be called "Tang Wutong" and chuckled:
"When did the people from the Haotian Sect get involved with Shrek? Weren't you attacked twice by Ma Xiaotao and nearly died?"
A trace of confusion flashed across Tang Wutong's eyes. She then raised a white finger, pointed at Xu Tianxi from a distance, and said:
"I don't know what you're talking about, but remember, Shrek's glory must not be tarnished; past failures were merely accidental."
She clearly remembered that when she was still in the God Realm, her parents often recalled the interesting things that happened in Shrek Academy.
She decided at that time that after she came to the mortal world, she would stand on the highest podium of the Continental Soul Master Competition like her parents and defend the glory of Shrek.
Seeing that the other party had indeed turned into Tang Wutong, Xu Tianxi smiled and didn't care. He clapped his hands and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then let's wait and see."
After saying that, he stopped talking nonsense with this human-shaped dog chain whose head was full of "my dad said this" and "my dad said that". He turned around with Kong Deming and disappeared into the space.
"Then you will see whose words today will become a joke!"
Tang Wutong spoke arrogantly, not taking Xu Tianxi, the Sun and Moon genius with a strong record, seriously at all.
The storm subsided and registration continued.
Yan Shaozhe looked at the second-class room card in his hand and frowned, "We Shrek have always rested on the top floor. Can't you, the Sun-Moon Empire, even provide a top-class room?"
Without even looking up, the staff member said, "You came in fourth in the last competition. What qualifies you for living on the top floor? The runner-up is Xingluo Royal Academy, and they live on the seventh floor without a problem."
Yan Shaozhe's face turned purple with anger for the third time today. He gritted his teeth, took the room card, left a harsh word, and left with the Shrek people.
"Very good, very good indeed. We at Shrek will remember the suppression from the Sun-Moon Empire today!"
The staff member curled his lips and said, "You're sick."
The colleagues standing by nodded in agreement, and even many onlookers showed expressions of approval.
Today's farce is caused by the Shrek people being mentally ill.
