Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

"Senior, you're not joking with me, are you?" In the White Tiger Legion, General Dai Hao of the White Tiger Army stood up abruptly after hearing what Long Xiaoyao had just said. His expression seemed to say, "Are you sure you're not joking with me, senior?"

Seeing Dai Hao's strong reaction and disbelief, Long Xiaoyao said again, "Your eldest son, Dai Yueheng, is no longer whole. Your second son is lucky to have survived."

Bang—Dai Hao lost his footing and stumbled and fell to the ground.

He never imagined that giving Shrek Academy a mission would lead to such a thing: his eldest son's body was never found, and his second son was seriously injured but still alive.

He felt everything go dark and almost fainted.

With the help of his subordinates, Dai Hao steadied himself and sat back in his seat, his voice trembling as he said, "Senior..." Before he could say anything more, Xuanzi burst in.

"Where are the children?"

Long Xiaoyao and Dai Hao, along with everyone else present, all looked up and saw Xuanzi appear before them looking even more like a beggar than before, his disheveled appearance suggesting he had just survived a brutal war.

"Elder Xuan, they are all being treated." Dai Hao hurriedly stood up, wanting to confirm again, "Elder Xuan, what about that child, Yao Heng..."

Upon hearing this question, Xuanzi fell silent and lowered his head. He didn't know how to answer—as a Super Douluo, he couldn't even protect his child from an attack by a Soul King.

Seeing Xuanzi's behavior, Dai Hao understood everything.

He is now the Duke of White Tiger, and all his hopes are pinned on Dai Yueheng, while Dai Huabin has long been a cripple.

But now, Dai Yueheng has been blown to smithereens by an evil Soul Master, Soul King...

Dai Hao's vision went black, and he fainted. The shock was so intense that he couldn't hold on any longer.

"General!"

"Duke!"

"..."

Xuanzi looked at Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger being carried out, his heart filled with complex emotions.

I thought that with Long Xiaoyao by my side, everything would be foolproof, but... we still messed it up.

Long Xiaoyao sat there silently, without saying a word.

"Elder Long..."

"Now you're panicking?" Long Xiaoyao stared at Xuanzi with a somewhat unfriendly gaze. "If you hadn't been so focused on those trivial matters, and had simply followed along, such terrible consequences wouldn't have occurred."

Xuanzi fell silent. Long Xiaoyao was right—it was Xuanzi who was leading the team this time. He was supposed to protect them from the shadows and deal with some troublesome guys, but he didn't expect that he would still be careless.

Tears welled up in his eyes uncontrollably: "Old Master Long, what should I do next?"

"?" A question mark popped into Long Xiaoyao's head at this moment. No way, how old are you? You can still cry?

An old man who has lived for nearly two hundred years can still cry.

At this moment, even Long Xiaoyao was shocked. What on earth was going on...?

He showed no sympathy for Xuanzi, instead asking, "You are the Vice Pavilion Master of the Sea God Academy, why are you asking me? Figure it out yourself, I'm just protecting the academy."

Long Xiaoyao truly hadn't expected that Xuanzi would become the deputy head of the Sea God Pavilion.

He originally intended to respect Mu En's last wish and support Zhang Lexuan as the Vice Pavilion Master of the Sea God, but unexpectedly, this Xuanzi had no self-awareness whatsoever and directly took the position himself, it was simply...

Now, when they encounter problems, instead of trying to solve them themselves, they come to him for help.

It's already strange enough that Yan Shaozhe, as the head of the Sea God Pavilion, would ask you for help when he has something to say; now it's your turn to ask me.

For a moment, Long Xiaoyao wondered if Xuanzi and Yan Shaozhe were truly master and disciple, and that Mu En was superfluous. Long Xiaoyao's silence made Xuanzi even more at a loss; he was just a combatant, with no extraordinary wisdom whatsoever.

And so, a silence fell over the room. Long Xiaoyao remained silent, and Xuanzi simply stood there...

……

Several academies have already arrived in the capital of the Star Luo Empire.

The appearance of the Sun and Moon Team quickly attracted the attention of many students, and the emperor of the Star Luo Empire was also soon notified.

Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo lay on his dragon bed like a seriously ill patient, listening to his subordinates' reports.

Hearing that the Sun and Moon team had arrived, but not that the Shrek team had appeared, they couldn't help but ask, "Hasn't the Shrek team arrived yet?"

"Your Majesty, not yet, but they should be here soon."

"Shouldn't Mo Yan be among the members of the Shrek team this time?"

“Of course, Your Majesty,” the shadow guard replied with certainty.

In everyone's eyes, the only one in Shrek Academy who could go toe-to-toe with Jin Tianming, a member of the Sun and Moon Team, was the genius girl Mo Yan.

"Okay." Xu Jiawei responded, then instructed someone to continue keeping an eye on the Sun and Moon Team, and then told them to notify him immediately if they saw anyone from Shrek Academy.

After the bodyguards left, Xu Jiawei silently closed his eyes and continued to rest.

It seems he really won't live much longer; he'll probably pass away after this Soul Master Competition ends. Fortunately, his funeral arrangements have already been made.

I just hope Shrek Academy can perform well in this Soul Master Competition and avoid any unexpected incidents.

Inside the Sun and Moon Team Hotel, Jin Tianming sat by the window, looking out at the bustling Star Luo Capital Street. For a moment, he felt as if he had returned to the old days.

The Sun Moon Empire is a country with rapid technological development, while the Star Luo Empire has a rather contradictory attitude towards soul tools—it wants to develop them, but it seems that it has never been able to fully commit to them.

They both found soul tools useful and wanted to learn how to use them, yet stubbornly believed that martial souls were more reliable than soul tools. This wavering mentality unexpectedly allowed the Star Luo Empire to develop far ahead of the other two countries.

"I'm a little curious about how Shrek Academy will respond. Will you participate, Mo Yan?" Jin Tianming couldn't help but murmur.

He still really wanted to settle things with Mo Yan, otherwise he wouldn't feel right.

That guy looks lazy, but he's actually very shrewd. Every step of his plan is calculated on how to be lazy while still reaping the benefits.

Bai Yu's reaction back then probably showed that he was really angry to death, but he was also helpless.

"I'm getting more and more curious."

At Shrek Academy, after finishing all his work, Yan Shaozhe immediately stood up and began preparations.

As the new generation of Sea God Pavilion Master, he must participate in this Soul Master Competition—both to support and encourage his team, and to prove that he is no less capable than any previous Sea God Pavilion Master!

Yan Shaozhe never imagined that this trip would make him realize that everything ahead was hell, a challenge for him as the master of the Sea God Pavilion.

At the White Tiger Army camp, Xuanzi finally made up his mind to immediately lead the remaining students to participate in the competition.

Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyao looked at Xuanzi and questioned, "Are you crazy? Those children are already in that state, and you still want them to participate?"

"What will become of the academy's ten-thousand-year-old glory? Answer me, Elder Long!"

These words plunged the atmosphere into dead silence once again.
