Douluo: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 154 Moon: Xuan Zi can split Shrek
When the elders saw the grief-stricken expression on Elder Xuan's face, they condensed a terrifying and dazzling ochre light in their big hands and slapped it towards his heart.

"Hmm? When did Elder Xuan's proposal for the Sea God Pavilion meeting include a segment on performing a death-defying apology?"

The elders were all horrified and a little confused at the same time.

I just cooperated with Master Xuan to act out the segment of "voluntarily quitting Poseidon" and declining three times, and finally staying in Poseidon Pavilion to continue being an elder. What's going on now? Why is there another segment where Master Xuan is "willing to die to atone for his sins"?

Do they want to continue cooperating with Master Xuan to finish the performance?
If necessary, how to perform? There was no prior notice...

The elders looked at each other, and could see the surprise and confusion in each other's eyes. They were all stunned by this sudden change. Faced with Elder Xuan's self-committion and apology, they were a little at a loss for a moment.

"Master Mu, this, this..." Yan Shaozhe was very anxious. Seeing Master Xuan severing his own heart meridian with great determination, all the elders looked at Master Mu.

The Poseidon Pavilion meeting proposed by Elder Xuan, has the routine been upgraded?
In the past, after Master Xuan led his team to make a big mess, he would come back with an expression of "I am guilty!" and quickly convene a meeting of the Poseidon Pavilion, admitting his mistakes and decisively proposing that I voluntarily withdraw from the Poseidon Pavilion.

The elders took turns to persuade him, and the sad Xuanzi lived up to everyone's expectations and continued to serve as an elder of the Poseidon Pavilion. The whole process was completed.

But this time, Master Xuan committed suicide to apologize, catching all the elders off guard.

wow——

Moon's old pupils suddenly emitted a golden light, and the pressure that belonged exclusively to the Holy Dragon of Light was released. The bright light was so dazzling that it made it impossible for the elders to open their eyes. Xuan Zi trembled under this pressure, as if someone had slapped him in the face.

"Idiot! Can your death bring back the lives of these children? If you feel so guilty, then make amends for your sins in Shrek Academy!"

Old Mu angrily rebuked Xuan Zi for his foolish behavior and slapped Xuan Zi hard in the face with his powerful pressure.

Mr. Xuan's entire body was blown off the seat and flew several meters backwards.

He spun half a circle in the air, then fell to the ground with a bang on his head.

Yan Shaozhe and Lin Lao were the first to react. They attacked together, releasing their respective martial spirit powers and pinning Xuan Lao to the ground.

"Mr. Mu, why...why don't you let me die!"

Xuan Zi looked miserable and burst into tears: "Gong Yangmo, Chen Zifeng, Yao Haoxuan, they should have had a bright future, but I ruined it. How can I still live in this world with dignity..."

The other elders also understood. Seeing Mu Lao slapping his hand, it seemed that he was really angry. It turned out that the part of apologizing with death was added by Xuanzi himself.

Most of the elders could only remain silent. Xuanzi's suicide was not a cause and effect that could be easily dealt with, so it could only be left to Elder Mu and the two leading elders to handle it.

The head of the Soul Guidance Department, Xian Lin'er, thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Master Xuan, our Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department was founded after the holy war between Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent many years ago."

"In war, one army is often ambushed by the other and utterly destroyed."

Xian Lin'er's eyes narrowed slightly. "Then think about it, Master Xuan. How many leaders would commit suicide because of a few small-scale failures? What they should do is to take responsibility for the failure, learn lessons, and make up for all the previous failures with a greater victory in the end."

Xian Lin'er has participated in the Poseidon Pavilion meetings proposed by Xuanzi several times.

She felt that Mr. Xuan was quite positive in admitting his mistakes, but the biggest problem was that he never corrected them.

After hearing what Xian Lin'er said, Xuan Zi shook his head stupidly.

"No, it's different. The Death Messenger is only a Five-Ring Soul King, and I..."

"Shut up!"

In his rage, Mu Lao once again exerted his pressure on Xuan Zi, and his inner hatred for him became even stronger: "You are a coward who made a big mistake and only wanted to die! As my nephew, when will you be able to show some progress!"

Qian Duoduo also cooperated well with the dean of his soul guidance department and spoke with a little emotion.

"Master Xuan, we can't be so pessimistic. The death of three inner courtyard disciples of the Wuhun Department is already a huge loss for our academy."

He sighed slowly and advised earnestly: "If you commit suicide to apologize for this mission of exterminating evil spirit masters, it will be the biggest loss for our academy. You must not do that!"

Moon looked at Xuan Zi who was lying on the ground under his suppression and snorted angrily. The aura emitted by his anger made the entire Poseidon Pavilion quiet.

"Xuan Zi, if you behave like a fool and a coward again, I will personally destroy you without you having to do anything."

Moon En thought of the Holy Spirit Church and some of its people, and even had some evil thoughts in his heart. Before the moment he passed away, Xuan Zi would still be so useless.

He wanted to turn Xuan Zi into a puppet with only the power to protect the school, but the bond of kinship between him and his nephew forced Moon to give up the idea.

"Shaozhe, Huiqun, let him go."

Moon retracted the pressure he had exerted on Xuan Zi. The golden light in his old eyes faded, but his anger remained: "Xuan Zi, come back and sit down."

Xuanzi failed to commit suicide in the end. After hearing the words from Mu Lao, who was like a master to him, he had to wipe his eyes, stood up dejectedly, and sat back in his seat with his messy hair hanging down.

Elder Mu had an indescribable sternness on his face: "You are already over 200 years old, why are you still so impetuous? If every elder makes a mistake and then runs away like you, then is there any need for our Sea God Pavilion to exist?"

Then Mu Lao said seriously:
Xuanzi can die if he wants. If he has the ability, he can carry on the family line and pass on your Taotie Bull martial spirit through his bloodline. Then Xuanzi can commit suicide at will and Moon En will never stop him. Otherwise, there is no deal.

As we all know, the relationships in Shrek Academy are very complicated.

In a way, Xuan Zi has a great advantage, that is, although he looks sloppy, he is clean enough... Well, due to his limited abilities, he is a little weak.

Xuanzi's old face flushed red. After hearing what Elder Mu had just said, the other elders who participated in the meeting of the Sea God Pavilion all showed strange looks on their faces. At this moment, they felt that Xuanzi was also quite sinful. The powerful Taotie Bull had all kinds of defects, and it was only because it was too weak in this aspect.

"Okay." Elder Mu tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and the elders finally quieted down.

The expression on Mu Lao's face became calm again, and he said sternly: "Xuan Zi, I know that your Taotie Divine Bull Martial Spirit has the characteristic of being greedy, but you must never make such a mistake again in the future."

"You are used to making your disciples feel a sense of crisis at all times. This idea is not entirely wrong. However, you must make sure that you can save your students from danger."

Moon let out a long sigh. The Soul King killed three people under the command of the Super Douluo. This had never happened before in history.

"Lin'er."

"Yes." Xian Lin'er stood up quickly and responded respectfully. Moon's tone was unquestionable: "I have made the decision today. After the meeting of the Sea God Pavilion, some resources will be allocated to the Soul Guidance Department to tailor-make at least one flying soul guide and one defensive soul guide for all inner courtyard disciples. Anyone who objects, don't tell me, just ask him to leave the academy."

"Yes!"

A hint of joy appeared on Xian Lin'er's face, and Qian Duoduo next to her couldn't help but laugh a few times.

Yan Shaozhe saw Qian Duoduo's arrogant look and wanted to fight him.

For a long time, the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department have been competing with each other and even somewhat antagonistic, with the Martial Soul Department having an absolute upper hand.

The students in the inner courtyard are also proud of their own powerful martial spirits, and believe that a truly powerful soul master does not need external objects such as soul guides to make up for their strength.

Yan Shaozhe looked at Mu Lao and asked tentatively: "Teacher, should we reconsider this? This will easily shake the belief that we Shrek have always had."

Mu Lao glared at him seriously: "Do we have to wait for a few more inner court disciples to die before we are willing to change? The times are advancing, and soul guides are the product of the times."

"Even if one's martial spirit is top-notch and one's personal strength is strong, if one is equipped with a high-level soul guide, one will be further strengthened. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"

Mr. Mu also recounted the truths he had realized in his later years, with a tone of earnest instruction.

"Shao Zhe, the biggest difference between humans and monkeys is that humans can use tools. And soul guides are powerful tools to strengthen one's own strength. You resist it. Are you a monkey?"

Yan Shaozhe felt a little ashamed after being scolded, and quickly said: "No, no, our ancestor Tang San used a storage soul guide, and I also use it... I don't resist."

In fact, there are many elders who support Yan Shaozhe (this man’s grandmother is extraordinary), and the martial spirit system is already deeply rooted in Shrek.

But now that Mr. Mu has made it clear, it would be really tactless for him to object again.

Afterwards, the elders continued to discuss how to support the participating teams.

Qian Duoduo snorted: "If we hadn't realized the importance of soul guides in this incident, I'm afraid that after Xiao Tao squeezed out the quota in this Soul Master Competition, we wouldn't have a single regular member in the Soul Guide Department."

Yan Shaozhe glared at him and did not argue with Qian Duoduo. Instead, he looked at Mu Lao and made a suggestion.

"Mr. Mu, I just looked at the list of other students in the inner courtyard who are no older than 20 years old."

"Including the Soul Guidance disciple whose place was squeezed out by Xiao Tao, I have selected two more disciples from among them. They are quite capable and talented."

"We can send these three people over together. Even though they were put together temporarily out of necessity and are not the best lineup of our academy, as long as Xiao Tao is here, our overall strength is still far superior to most other academies."

The inner court disciples of each class of Shrek Academy include not only the Shrek Seven Devils.

There are also some students who were not selected as the Seven Monsters, but their cultivation talent and martial spirit qualifications are still outstanding among other academies.

Seeing that Mu Lao was in deep thought for a long time and had not made a clear statement, Yan Shaozhe said anxiously: "Mu Lao, this Soul Master Competition is about to begin, and time is running out."

"Send out these three inner court disciples I selected. Even if they are put together with the reserve team to form an uncoordinated team, their combat effectiveness is still not weak. At least they can maintain victory in the early stages of the competition until Xiao Tao and Luo Chen's injuries recover."

"As long as Xiao Tao's injury is healed, it won't be difficult for us to reach the semi-finals under her leadership. We even have a great chance of reaching the finals. Please make the decision as soon as possible, Mr. Mu."

Old Mu pondered for a while. Since he felt that the thousand-year crown was both an honor and a shackle, whether he could maintain it or not would be up to fate. Otherwise, the ancestral law would always be unbreakable.

At some point in time, the shackles of Shrek's eternal glory must be broken.

Elder Mu sighed and said, "Send the Soul Guidance disciple that Xiao Tao squeezed out over there. He was originally a regular player in this tournament and should represent the academy in the competition."

"Forget about the two disciples newly selected by the inner courtyard."

Mu Lao wanted to take the opportunity to break the shackles, so he waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need for reinforcements. Since God has let them suffer such a tragic experience, let them hone their skills."

All the elders were shocked.

"Mr. Mu, this concerns the academy's ten thousand-year honor. Even if it is difficult to maintain, it cannot end so hastily."

Mu Lao smiled calmly: "Yes, honor. Don't you think that we have been kidnapped by this honor over the years?"

"Losing is not terrible. What is terrible is that we are reluctant to give up our honor and try every means to maintain it, which makes us look like people who seek fame and reputation."

The elder said with some concern: "But Mr. Mu..."

"If we don't help, those guys in the reserve team will go up and play two games and then go home. This won't serve any purpose at all."

"Instead, they have to bear the stigma and pressure of failure, and may even suffer from psychological trauma due to excessive self-blame."

Old Mu sighed and shook his head. Although it sounded reasonable, in the end he had to find ways to maintain the eternal glory.

This way you will never be able to break free from the shackles.

Mu Lao waved his hand: "Okay, I have made up my mind."

"Xuan Zi, after the meeting, send the Soul Guidance Department disciple over. As for the academy's ten thousand years of glory, I believe they will protect it."

Elder Xuan was too embarrassed to speak the entire time. He just listened to the elders discussing matters that were closely related to the participating disciples. Because of his childish act of apologizing with death, he felt so ashamed that he couldn't let go for a long time.

After Moon finalized the matter of sending disciples, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"This time Xuan Zi failed to capture the evil soul master in time. Of course, the other party used Xu Sanshi's life as a bargaining chip, and Xuan Zi wasted time trying to save him."

"But this also shows that the soul guide technology of the Sun-Moon Empire is far ahead of ours... I plan to have an exchange student exchange."

In fact, this is what Mr. Mu is most worried about. After he passes away, who will support the development of the soul guidance system?

After Xuan Zi succeeded to the throne, he was not worthy of being used. He was okay as a gold medal fighter in the nursing school, but it was too difficult for him to check and balance the martial soul department and the soul guidance department to avoid conflicts between the two factions. Xuan Zi obviously did not have this ability.

If things go wrong, it might even split Shrek Academy.
