Peerless Tang Sect: Becoming a God Through Medicine

Chapter 117 The Mouse Who Wanted to Eat Peaches

“I said, I won’t die. Shrek Academy is just an academy, and Yuhao is my disciple.” Mu En’s smile remained unchanged, but he repeated what he had said earlier.

It's a bit frustrating that I can't be killed by the poison.

He's not really stupid; how could he not understand what Moon meant?
Isn't that basically saying that Shrek Academy is just an academy, unlike sects like yours, and that you don't force students to go where they want after graduation? And then you add, "He's my disciple, but I'm dying. After I die, and after Huo Yuhao graduates, as long as you can persuade him, it doesn't matter if Huo Yuhao joins the Body Sect, he's a dead man, right?"

fart!

If this were any other academy, Du Busi would believe this whole story, because those academies are legitimate, and once their students graduate, unless they consumed too many of the academy's resources during their studies, they really don't care about them anymore.

But look at your Shrek Academy. You call yourself an academy, but do you have even the slightest bit of an academy's appearance?
Are we still waiting for Huo Yuhao to graduate?
You guys have brainwashed him into a fanatical madman long ago. If that happens, I wouldn't dare to drag him into the Body Sect.
I'm afraid that the day after I die, the Body Sect will become a subordinate branch of Shrek Academy!
Of course, if Huo Yuhao were really a student from another academy, Du Busi wouldn't bother with all this talk and would just drag him away.

But facing Mu En, who was on the verge of death, Du Busi really didn't want to break ties with him here.

The consequences of a complete falling out could very well drag this old man down with him. The Body Sect hasn't found a successor yet, and Du Busi doesn't want to meet his elder brother so soon.

No matter how frustrated he felt, he had no choice but to endure it because he was weaker than his opponent.

"Fine, Dragon God Douluo, I'll remember what you said. He's one of your Shrek Academy members now, so I won't lay a hand on him. We'll settle things once he graduates!" Poison Undying took a deep breath and suppressed his frustration.

"All members of the Body Sect, withdraw!"

Watching the group from the Body Sect leave quickly, Mu En, who had just been unfathomable and displayed the demeanor of a Limit Douluo powerhouse, immediately changed his expression, and his aura began to weaken rapidly. He sat back in his wheelchair.

"Cough cough..." Mu En coughed softly, and after wiping the corner of his mouth, the bright red blood in his palm was particularly striking.

He didn't even make a move; he merely briefly recovered his strength, which caused the injuries within his body to show signs of becoming uncontrollable.

"Elder Mu..." The elders of the Sea God Pavilion and the titled Douluo of Shrek Academy who descended from the sky surrounded Mu En, their faces showing worry.

The Body Sect may not know Mu En's current state, but surely the higher-ups at Shrek Academy know? Don't be fooled by Mu En's current Limit Douluo status; in terms of actual combat power, he might not actually be able to defeat Poison Undying.

With the debuff of being severely injured and near death, he can at most unleash the strength of Xuanzi after breaking through his limits. Although he is still no match for Du Busi, it is not difficult for him to retreat calmly.

This is why Moon never actually made a move, and instead only used intimidation and verbal threats from beginning to end.

He couldn't even lift a finger.

If they really make a move, it's hard to say whether he'll be killed by the poison, but his remaining one or two years of life will definitely be burned away.

"Alright, I'm fine." After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Mu En's expression was calm, revealing no emotion. "Everyone else, leave and do your jobs. Xuanzi, push me back."

The group looked at each other in bewilderment, and then went their separate ways.

Only Xuanzi remained, anxiously pushing Mu En into the Sea God Pavilion.

He certainly had reason to be afraid. So far, most of Shrek's troubles were his doing. Now that Moon had left him alone, who knew what kind of verbal abuse he would have to endure.

No one knows what happened during that conversation, but since today, Xuanzi seems to have changed quite a bit. He's no longer the same person he used to be, spending his days indulging in a drunken stupor with his wine gourd.

Even their clothing and appearance have become much neater and more formal.

The arrival of the Body Sect caused quite a stir at Shrek Academy. Despite Xuanzi being brutally beaten by Du Busi from beginning to end, Shrek's reputation did not decline as a result; on the contrary, it increased considerably.

The reason, of course, lies with Moon.

Although no one else could hear his voice, they could hear Poison Undying's voice, which created an image of a mysterious and unparalleled powerhouse in their minds.

A peerless expert who could repel the sect leader of the Body Sect with a single word, despite being poisoned to death.

They were undoubtedly completely unaware of the cause, process, and outcome of the matter, but that did not prevent them from knowing that Shrek Academy had such powerful individuals, and that Shrek Academy had so many powerful individuals.

Therefore, the arrival of the Body Sect did not damage Shrek's image in their minds; on the contrary, it inspired their enthusiasm for cultivation.

Of course, not all of these people were unaware of the truth.

Huo Yuhao's feelings were complicated, and his expression was strange.

On the day the Body Sect descended, he was still in the outer courtyard when Mu En teleported him directly to the Sea God Pavilion. Mu En immediately protected his precious disciple to prevent him from being taken away by the poison.

No matter how you look at it, Moon may seem righteous and noble, but in reality, all of this is directed at Shrek.

When dealing with Shrek's rivals or potential enemies, this Dragon God Douluo is not as gentle and kind as he appears in the original work.

Therefore, he naturally brought Huo Yuhao along for two purposes. One was to prevent Du Busi from having the opportunity to kidnap people and leave. If he really did kidnap people and leave, Shrek Academy would have no way to stop him, and Mu En's physical condition did not allow him to chase after him.

As for the second objective, it was naturally to further cultivate Huo Yuhao's sense of identification with Shrek Academy.

With over two hundred years of experience, Mu En knew exactly how to handle young people. In his view, although Huo Yuhao had some ulterior motives and secrets, he was undoubtedly still a young man with hot blood.

Shrek Academy is extremely experienced in dealing with a kid like Huo Yuhao whose values ​​haven't even fully formed yet.

This is especially true for 'orphans' like Huo Yuhao.

So Mu En first instilled the concepts of family and home in Huo Yuhao, letting him know that Shrek Academy was his home, and the teachers and students of Shrek Academy were his family. Then he told him about the purpose of the Body Sect and left the choice to him.

This is called 'building trust'.

Is the Huo Yuhao of today still the same Huo Yuhao from the original novel?
He is still behaving just like in the original story, choosing Shrek with righteous indignation and constantly professing his loyalty to Moon.

Actually...

"The Body Sect? It seems like a good choice..."
