Douluo Simulator: I, Huo Yuhao, am cultivating immortality

Chapter 185 Moon's Troubles

Compared to the harmonious atmosphere on the Sun and Moon side, the atmosphere at Shrek Academy was shrouded in gloom.

Having traversed the Douluo Continent for ten thousand years, they had never suffered such humiliation, being mocked so openly in front of all the prominent figures on their own territory.

Such a humiliation caused even Mu En, who was usually quite composed, to turn pale and feel extremely dissatisfied with Huo Yuhao.

Xuanzi let out a cold snort and raised his hand to slam it on the table, but after noticing Mu En's gloomy gaze, he readily lowered his hand and said:
"That brat Huo Yuhao is a liar. I even brought my most precious treasures and personally went to the Sun Moon Academy to apologize to him, but he still went against our Shrek Academy. He deserves to die!"

He thought Huo Yuhao was still holding a grudge about kidnapping him and was using the day when all the sects and factions across the continent gathered to embarrass them.

"It's also possible that Di Tian and his group wanted to use Shrek Academy to boost the reputation of the Spirit Pagoda."

“Very likely. If that’s the case, then our response must be firm, letting Di Tian and the others know that Shrek Academy isn’t made of clay,” one person said.

Although it's obvious to everyone that the Spirit Pagoda, with at least three Limit Douluo, is undoubtedly the strongest force on the Douluo Continent, and it's not shameful for Shrek Academy to concede to it, Shrek's pride won't allow them to be ranked second.

Although the Spirit Pagoda is powerful, it ultimately lacks the foundation of divine protection. With the precedent of Mu En, Xuanzi and the others believed that in a critical moment, their ancestor who had become a god would not stand idly by and watch Shrek Academy decline.

While everyone was talking amongst themselves, Moon leaned back quietly in his recliner, his brow furrowed, a sense of doubt creeping into his heart.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't have happened.

Mu En thought to himself that Xuanzi and Yan Shaozhe were unaware of this, but he knew that the wooden carvings sent over contained the divine consciousness of the Sea God, which was used to guide Huo Yuhao to join Shrek Academy.

This is why Moon was so friendly to Huo Yuhao and offered him all sorts of benefits.

It's all just passing things around, and in the end, they're all one of our own people, so Moon naturally doesn't feel any heartache.

The more astonishing Huo Yuhao's achievements are, the more intense the impact of his reversal from the Sun and Moon to Shrek Academy will be, adding another chapter to the Shrek Academy myth.

But the reality was completely different from what he had imagined. When Mu En first learned that Huo Yuhao was coming, he was all smiles and had planned to leave Huo Yuhao and his goods behind to watch the people of the Sun Moon Empire look incredulous and furious.

Now, instead of getting a laugh, they've torn off a piece of their own fig leaf.

This is very abnormal!

[Could it be that not only did the Sea God fail to eliminate the demon within Huo Yuhao, but he also ended up getting himself into trouble?] Mu En wondered.

He immediately dismissed the idea. After all, Tang San was the Sea God with extraordinary wisdom, the brains of the legendary Shrek Seven Devils. How could he possibly take a risk without any preparation?

The true form of the gods is still watching!
Or perhaps, that great one saw Shrek Academy's incompetence and wanted to use the Chosen One to teach them a lesson?
Mu En squinted and glanced discreetly at Xuan Zi, who was secretly drinking, and Yan Shao Zhe, who was arguing heatedly over some trivial matter. He had to admit that Shrek Academy had indeed been on a downward trend over the past few decades.

But that was because he was seriously injured and didn't have much time left, so he let Xuanzi, who was a bit unreliable and was Shrek's number one fighter besides himself, take charge of the overall situation.

As it turned out, this decision was a complete mistake. Shrek Academy not only failed to transition smoothly under Xuanzi's leadership, but instead suffered a series of significant losses.

On one occasion, he led the inner court disciples to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for soul rings. However, due to his excessive drinking and eating, eight of the twelve inner court disciples, including Zhang Lexuan, died in battle.

If it weren't for the already high mortality rate of inner court disciples, the cover provided by the Shrek Supervisory Group (a secret that some people don't consider a secret), and the various compensations made by the academy, the impact would have been enough to ruin Shrek Academy's reputation.

Not to mention that not long ago, Xuanzi led a team to the Mingdou Mountains to eliminate the evil spirit masters.

A dignified level 98 Super Douluo failed to see through the tricks of an evil soul master who was only a level 50 Soul King, resulting in the Shrek Seven Devils of this generation being half-dead and half-crippled.

Even his great-great-grandson Beibei was captured by the evil spirit master and taken hostage. If it weren't for the fact that he had left many contingency plans on Beibei after the death of Beibei's parents to prevent his lineage from being cut off, they would probably be separated by life and death long ago!
To be honest, if Xuanzi wasn't his junior brother, someone Mu En had watched grow up since childhood and wasn't certain he had no connection with evil spirit masters, Mu En would have thought Xuanzi was an undercover agent sent by evil spirit masters to wipe out the leading figures of Shrek Academy's younger generation.

As for Yan Shaozhe, Mu En shook his head helplessly. His petty and calculating nature destined him to be someone who could not revitalize Shrek Academy. As Xuanzi's senior brother and Yan Shaozhe's master, he was obviously labeled as unreliable.

"From this perspective, it's quite normal for Tang San's ancestor to have doubts about us." Mu En sighed inwardly, but a sense of urgency arose within him.

The Sea God's appearance was to find the chosen one, and Mu En had no idea whether the rise and fall of Shrek Academy was important to him. After all, the Tang Sect was founded by the Sea God himself, but now its foundation had been seized, and only two members remained, with no sign of his protection.

If the Sea God were to conclude that Shrek Academy no longer needed, Mu En felt that the Tang Sect's current dire state might be Shrek Academy's future fate.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao must join Shrek Academy no matter what. This is not only the mission of the Sea God, but also for the future of Shrek Academy!

what can we do about it?

Or should we just snatch them away?

Moon glanced at the group of people present, and after thinking about the top combat power of Sun Moon and Spirit Pagoda, he immediately dismissed this option.

After much thought, Moon realized that using a honey trap was the most likely solution.

After all, even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. In his youth, he frequented brothels, but he only became much more restrained after meeting Ye Xishui.

Huo Yuhao was surrounded by quite a few girls, most of whom were students from Shrek Academy. Although the group included family members like Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie, or sect disciples like Ning Tian and Wang Dong'er, at least they had the opportunity to let their own people take the lead.

"Report, esteemed teachers, Huo Yuhao and his group have come to visit, saying they wish to discuss compensation terms. Shall we let them in?" an inner court disciple reported.

Mu En raised an eyebrow, not expecting Huo Yuhao and the others to arrive so quickly, and said:
“Bring them over. Shao Zhe. Never mind, Lin'er, Le Xuan, you two take care of them. Stop arguing. Shrek Academy's millennia-old foundation won't be crippled by a single ‘compensation.’ Let’s see what they want first.”

Seeing that Moon had spoken, everyone naturally had no objections and could only nod in agreement.
