Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Long Xiaoyao glared at Xuanzi in shock and anger. He never imagined that the old man would be so crazy.

Those children need at least a few days to recover before they can be sent to the Star Luo Empire to find that Immortal Physician Douluo. Sending them there rashly now will definitely worsen their wounds.

Doesn't this old man understand? Is the honor of the academy really that important?

"You old good-for-nothing! Those are the future of Shrek Academy. Their injuries are already so severe, and you're thinking of taking them to the Soul Master Competition—how can they participate with their wounds like that?"

Long Xiaoyao slammed his fist on the table in anger, glaring at Xuanzi: "What kind of bullshit Glory is this! Those kids are in such a state, what's the point of them participating!"

Faced with the questioning, Xuanzi retorted without hesitation: "Long Xiaoyao, you should know that the academy's millennia-old honor cannot be desecrated! If Elder Mu knew, he would definitely agree with my idea. You promised Elder Mu that you would protect the academy and its honor, have you forgotten that now?"

"..." Long Xiaoyao almost laughed in anger when he heard Xuanzi's rebuttal.

He had indeed promised Moon to protect the academy, but he hadn't promised to disregard everything to protect the so-called "eternal glory of the academy." "Fine, do whatever you want with me, I don't care. But Beibei, you absolutely cannot take her away!"

“No!” Xuanzi immediately refused. “Beibei is both your great-grandson and your disciple. Don’t you want him to shine?”

Taotie Douluo Xuanzi finally resorted to moral blackmail.

Hearing Xuanzi's words, Long Xiaoyao felt it was absurd—did Xuanzi really think that moral blackmail could trap him? But just as he was about to speak, Xuanzi's next words instantly silenced him.

"Elder Long, you promised Elder Mu and Yan Shaozhe: if the academy withdraws from the Soul Master Competition now, will Shrek Academy still have the face to stand on the continent? After you die, how will you face Elder Mu?"

These words made Long Xiaoyao look at Xuanzi in silence.

He hadn't expected the old man to be so eloquent. Indeed, he had promised his brother, Mu En, to protect the academy; this was both a promise and compensation to his brother.

Who made it possible that the last bloodline of his good brother turned out to be an evil one, making him more suitable to inherit his mantle?

Therefore, it's not that moral blackmail can't restrain him, but rather that we need to strike at Long Xiaoyao's weak point in order to use morality to bind him.

At this moment, Long Xiaoyao's heart truly wavered.

He had two choices: one was to let the children stay and recuperate, and send them to Xingluo to find the Immortal Physician Douluo for treatment once their injuries had improved, so that their injuries would definitely be fully healed; the other was to set off now, but there were too many variables along the way, which would definitely lead to a worsening of their injuries.

"Hahahaha..." Long Xiaoyao finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. The laughter seemed to be mocking Xuanzi, this old good-for-nothing, and also seemed to be mocking his own incompetence—he was clearly a Limit Douluo, but he couldn't do anything.

Finally, he stopped laughing and stared intently at Xuanzi: "Old good-for-nothing, I didn't expect that after staying by Mu En's side for so long, you've actually learned to say a few words."

"You flatter me, Elder Long. I'm saying all this for the future and glory of Shrek Academy."

“Glory…” Long Xiaoyao sneered.

He had long seen through that Shrek Academy was nothing more than an academy shrouded in the word "glory," no different from a puppet on a string.

His own good brother must have noticed, so why doesn't he make a change?

Is it something that can't be changed?

Or is there just too much waste?
Long Xiaoyao was more inclined to believe the latter—he genuinely realized that there were far too many useless idiots in the academy.

"Alright, Yan Shaozhe has arrived in the Star Luo Empire. Go and explain it yourself." After saying this, Long Xiaoyao disappeared into the darkness without a second thought, wanting to avoid seeing or hearing anything.

Upon seeing Xuanzi now, he wished he could immediately activate his Martial Soul True Body and kill this old waste.

Xuanzi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Long Xiaoyao agree. In truth, he was also in immense pain, but for the honor of the academy, he had to do it.

Even if he has to bear all the responsibility in the end, let him shoulder it alone! Elder Xuan has worked tirelessly for the academy, solely to defend its honor!

Shrek team members: Holy crap...

On the streets of the Star Luo Empire, teams from various academies arrived one after another, but Shrek Academy was nowhere to be seen.

Some academy teams that came specifically to find out about the Shrek Academy team were surprised and puzzled—they remembered that in previous Soul Master Tournaments, the Shrek Academy team was always the first to arrive.

The Shrek team had even boasted that they would clean up the evil spirit masters along the way, but now almost two days have passed and they haven't seen a single member of the Shrek team.

The trio of Xiao Hongchen from the Sun and Moon team found a dessert shop and went inside.

"Brother, have you been cultivating too diligently lately? You haven't been going out much." Xiao Hongchen asked after sitting down.

Hearing this, Meng Hongchen rolled her eyes at Xiao Hongchen: "Brother Jin is a true genius who is also hardworking in his cultivation. Unlike you, you good-for-nothing brother."

"Dream!"

"Shut up, you good-for-nothing!"

Xiao Hongchen:...

Huo Yuhao watched silently from the side, trying hard to suppress his laughter—thankfully, his younger sister wouldn't treat him like that.

"Yuhao, laugh if you want! Anyway, this good-for-nothing brother of mine can't beat you." Meng Hongchen said when he saw Huo Yuhao holding back his laughter.

Xiao Hongchen immediately glared at Huo Yuhao, his eyes seeming to say, "You dare to laugh and see what happens!"

Huo Yuhao silently looked away, refusing to look at him.

Anyway, among the trio, the one who lost face the most was Brother Xiao – either he failed to show off or he got beaten up by Brother Jin Tianming.

Suddenly, they heard the voices of several people talking.

"Have you heard? The Shrek Academy team hasn't arrived yet."

"How did you know?"

"The Shrek team is the most enthusiastic. They keep saying they want to defend the honor of the academy. They are definitely the fastest to arrive. Besides, this is not a competition in the Sun Moon Empire. The journey is not far."

"Could something have happened to them?"

"Impossible! Those guys are all known as the 'strongest monster geniuses,' how could something have happened to them? And their teacher is definitely one of the top talents on the continent."

Xiao Hongchen recognized that the speakers seemed to be a few members of the Heavenly Soul Empire Royal Academy team, and couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard their conversation.

The laughter immediately caught the attention of the group, who all looked towards Xiao Hongchen and his companions.

When they saw the Sun and Moon team uniforms on the three of them, their expressions became even more hostile.

Seeing the group looking over, Xiao Hongchen kindly reminded them, "The Shrek Academy team probably won't be able to come."

He didn't expect that his good intentions would actually quiet down the atmosphere in the shop. The customers who were eating desserts stared at Xiao Hongchen with hostility.
