Douluo Continent: I Moved the Entire Dragon King.

Upon hearing these words, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He was genuinely puzzled as to why Xuanzi, who usually seemed carefree and only knew how to eat chicken legs and drink alcohol, suddenly had a surge in intelligence whenever it came to dealing with that pirated Shrek Academy.

This time, the "undercover plan" received unanimous approval from both of them.

After all, compared to directly confronting those titled Douluo with force, the cost of this covert infiltration is indeed much lower, and the chances of success are also greater.

"That's a good idea, it's definitely feasible."

Yan Shaozhe nodded, but then frowned.

"However... Elder Xuan, who should we choose for this undercover agent?"

Chapter 118 Xuanzi: I have some connection with Lexuan.

Xuanzi's gaze lingered on Yan Shaozhe's slightly tense face before he slammed down the chicken leg in his hand and spoke in an unquestionable tone.

"Shao Zhe, let Ma Xiaotao go over there. That girl's talent is one of the best in this generation. If she can get into the core of that pirate academy, it should be the easiest way for her to get the Soul Ring technology."

Upon hearing the name "Ma Xiaotao," Yan Shaozhe's face turned deathly pale. He almost instinctively waved his hands repeatedly, his tone pleading.

"Elder Xuan, you absolutely mustn't! As you know, Xiao Tao is currently plagued by evil fire, and her condition is extremely unstable. If she goes to that academy with an unclear background, what if her evil fire suddenly erupts one day and causes trouble? Given the domineering nature of those people, Xiao Tao might be beaten to death on the spot. Please, Elder Xuan, reconsider and choose someone else!"

When Yan Shaozhe said this, he felt a wave of fear. He dared not gamble with his most prized disciple for that one possible outcome.

Xuanzi frowned and snorted coldly, clearly displeased with Yan Shaozhe's "protecting his calf" behavior.

His gaze shifted away and landed on Qian Duoduo, who was sitting to the side with her neck hunched over.

Seeing this, Qian Duoduo inwardly cried out in alarm. Forgetting all about her image as the vice president, she quickly waved her hand in refusal as well.

"Elder Xuan, don't look at me like that. You know the situation at our Soul Guidance Academy. We don't have many outstanding students. There are only a few like Fan Yu, and his student He Caitou is considered relatively good. But He Caitou... sigh, with his talent and strength, he probably wouldn't even pass the entrance screening of that bootleg Shrek Academy. Going there would be a waste of his time."

Qian Duoduo's words were indeed true. The Soul Guidance Department was already weak in Shrek Academy, and they really couldn't find anyone capable of taking on this important task.

Upon hearing these words, Xuanzi's expression grew increasingly grim, his eyebrows furrowed tightly, and his aura became somewhat violent, as if he might erupt in anger at any moment.

He remained silent for a long time before speaking again in a somber tone.

“Since you’re making excuses, let’s pick some people from the current Shrek Seven Devils. Think about it and see who is more reliable. First of all, we can eliminate that crazy girl Ma Xiaotao. Evil Fire is indeed a ticking time bomb. So, we can only choose from the next six people.”

Qian Duoduo lowered her head and pondered for a while. Then, a flash of inspiration struck her, and she mustered up her courage to make the suggestion.

"Elder Xuan, I have an idea. Why don't we select one person from the remaining Shrek Six, and then choose an inner disciple or elite instructor with higher cultivation level, and have them both join that pirated Shrek Academy? One can take the entrance exam as a student, and the other can apply for a teaching position."

Qian Duoduo found the idea increasingly brilliant as she spoke, and her tone became more and more excited.

"In this way, with one of us inside and one outside, we can more easily understand everything about this college. After all, if we are just students, our access may be limited, and we won't be able to see many confidential documents. But if we are teachers, it's different. We might be able to access core technical information."

Upon hearing Qian Duoduo's analysis, Xuanzi finally smiled. He nodded in satisfaction, patted Qian Duoduo on the shoulder, and glanced at Yan Shaozhe.

"Not bad, Duoduo. It seems you're the real strategist. Compared to you, Yan Shaozhe is nothing but a fart; he doesn't even have a brain!"

When Xuanzi pointed his finger at him and berated him like that, Yan Shaozhe's lips twitched a couple of times, but he still didn't dare to say a word, and could only smile bitterly to himself.

To be honest, Qian Duoduo's "double insurance" proposal really impressed him, as it was indeed very feasible.

However, while the proposal was being made, the specific selection of candidates became a major problem.

Yan Shaozhe, eager to redeem himself, tentatively suggested that...

"Elder Xuan, why don't we let Zhou Yi go? I've heard that Zhou Yi has a very high student pass rate and a great reputation in the academy over the years. Letting her apply for a teaching position at that academy should allow her to showcase her talents and also gather information."

Upon hearing Yan Shaozhe's words, Xuanzi's anger, which he had just suppressed, suddenly flared up again.

He widened his eyes and pointed at Yan Shaozhe's nose again, cursing.

"You idiot, are you stupid? What kind of strength does Zhou Yi have? She's just a lowly six-ring Soul Emperor! Use your brain and think about it. Even the gatekeepers in that pirated academy are not simple. Even if she, a Soul Emperor, really got in, she could only become an ordinary teacher in the outer courtyard at most. What core things could she possibly have access to? Could she possibly have access to Soul Ring technology?"

After being scolded so harshly, Yan Shaozhe shrank back and shut his mouth in frustration once again.

However, he quickly searched his mind for a more suitable candidate.

Suddenly, a name flashed through his mind, and he spoke hesitantly.

"Then... what about Zhang Lexuan?"

Upon hearing the name "Zhang Lexuan," Xuanzi's initially irritable expression faltered slightly, and he then slowly nodded, his tone softening considerably.

"Le Xuan... she's alright. Her strength and temperament are top-notch in the inner courtyard, and her age is also suitable. She's definitely a good choice."

Xuanzi turned to Yan Shaozhe and spoke.

"Go and bring out the current list of the Shrek Seven Devils. I want to take a closer look at the remaining few."

Yan Shaozhe dared not delay and quickly took out the list from his pocket and respectfully handed it to Xuanzi.

Xuanzi's gaze slowly swept over the list of the other six members of the Shrek Seven Devils: Dai Yaoheng, Xixi, Chen Zifeng, Gongyang Mo, Yao Haoxuan, and Ling Luochen.

His fingers lingered on these names for a long time, his gaze lingering between Dai Yaoheng and Ling Luochen for a moment before finally settling on Ling Luochen's name.

"Let's choose Ling Luochen. This girl has a cold personality and doesn't talk much, but she is exceptionally calm when carrying out missions. She is indeed very suitable for this dangerous undercover work. Combined with Le Xuan's maturity and composure, this combination should be the most reliable."

Seeing that Xuanzi had finally made the decision, Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.

After all, Ling Luochen is indeed the most suitable candidate at present, both in terms of strength and personality.

The next question is how to persuade these two people.

Yan Shaozhe volunteered.

“Elder Xuan, leave the talks to Ling Luochen to me. After all, I didn’t even let Xiao Tao go, so I’ll naturally be the one to handle this. I’ll make sure she agrees and that this matter isn’t leaked out.”

Xuanzi nodded, somewhat satisfied with his proactive attitude in taking responsibility, and then spoke.

"In that case, I'll handle things with Le Xuan myself. I have some connection with that girl, so she shouldn't refuse if I'm the one to handle it."

Xuanzi took another big gulp of wine, his eyes flashing with a cold light, and he secretly vowed revenge.

Once I get that technology, all of you guys who dared to humiliate me and knock out my teeth will pay the price!

Chapter 119 I was truly a beast back then!

In Shrek's inner courtyard, a gentle breeze swept across the shores of Poseidon Lake, creating ripples and carrying a few withered leaves into the distance.

Beside a secluded pavilion, Xuanzi's rather disheveled figure slowly came to a stop. His gaze passed over the row of lush green weeping willows and finally landed on the slender figure not far away.

That's Zhang Lexuan, the senior sister of the inner courtyard.

She sat quietly on a bench by the lake, her long, jet-black hair flowing down her shoulders to her waist, swaying gently in the breeze. Her clear, dark eyes were bright and wise, and her delicate face was as white and flawless as cream. She exuded a tranquil and gentle temperament.

Even in this peaceful afternoon, a faint trace of sorrow lingered on her smooth forehead, impossible to shake off.

Noticing someone approaching, Zhang Lexuan turned her head slightly and saw that it was Xuanzi. A polite smile appeared on her cool and pretty face. She stood up and bowed slightly to Xuanzi.

"Elder Xuan, why did you come here in person? Is there something you need to see me about?"

Xuanzi didn't rush to speak, but instead looked around nervously, his demeanor completely at odds with the aloof image of the deputy commander.

After repeatedly confirming that there was no one else around, he quickly took two steps and came to Zhang Lexuan's side.

He forced a kind expression onto his old face and spoke earnestly.

"Le Xuan, actually, I've come here today because there's something extremely important I need your help with."

Looking at Xuanzi's serious demeanor, Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but feel a little doubtful, but she still nodded gently.

"Elder Xuan, please speak freely. As an inner court disciple and a member of the inspection team, Le Xuan will do her best to help in any way she can."

Hearing Zhang Lexuan's quick agreement, Xuanzi's face lit up with joy, and he chuckled twice, his previously gloomy mood seemingly improving considerably.

"It's not a big deal, really. I'm planning to send you to a bootlegging school in a pirated Shrek academy for a while."

"To be an undercover agent?"

Upon hearing these three words, Zhang Lexuan's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, her eyes revealing deep confusion and surprise.

She genuinely couldn't understand the meaning behind Xuanzi's actions.

Given Xuanzi's volatile temper, if anyone on the Douluo Continent dared to impersonate "Shrek Academy," Xuanzi would definitely be the first to attack and lead a group to smash their place.

Now, Xuanzi not only didn't lead troops to press the border, but also wanted her to secretly go undercover. This was too abnormal, making her feel that there must be a secret hidden here.

However, on second thought, Zhang Lexuan was, after all, a key member of the Shrek Surveillance Team. Carrying out missions and infiltrating to steal intelligence was her duty. Since it was a directive issued by Vice Captain Xuanzi, she naturally had an obligation to cooperate.

After a moment's thought, Zhang Lexuan spoke to Xuanzi.

“Since it is Elder Xuan’s arrangement, I will naturally accept the order. After I go to the Sea God Pavilion to report to Elder Mu and take my leave, I will immediately go to the academy you mentioned.”

"Hey! No! Please don't go!"

Upon hearing Zhang Lexuan mention Mu En's name, Xuanzi jumped up abruptly and blocked Zhang Lexuan's path, his hurried tone filled with panic.

Seeing this, Zhang Lexuan's doubts deepened, and she asked in bewilderment.

"Elder Xuan, why is that? Is it that this matter cannot be told to Elder Mu?"

Xuanzi blushed, scratched his head awkwardly, and said in a low voice.

"Le Xuan, to tell you the truth, I did this secretly without Elder Mu's knowledge. If Elder Mu finds out, he might not allow this action."

Zhang Lexuan shook her head, her dark eyes fixed on Xuanzi with a determined look in them.

“Elder Xuan, I think it would be better to let Elder Mu know about this. If we act on our own and something goes wrong, the consequences could be unimaginable.”

Seeing Zhang Lexuan's unyielding attitude, Xuanzi became quite anxious.

He took a deep breath, and his eyes instantly reddened as he began to play the "sob card" in front of Zhang Lexuan.

"Le Xuan, do you still remember the terrible mistake I made back then?"

Xuanzi's voice became somewhat hoarse, his tone filled with a deep sense of self-blame and sorrow.

"Back then, I was with you when you had just reached level 80, along with that old wooden staff and the Soul Ring. Because of my momentary negligence and carelessness, you suffered heavy casualties in that calamity. So many outstanding children were gone... It even left you with such a huge psychological shadow, making you depressed all these years."

At this point, Xuanzi actually squeezed out two turbid tears. He raised his sleeve to wipe his eyes, looking much older.

“I should have resigned after that incident. If you hadn’t knelt down and begged me to stay, I would have resigned long ago. I regret it every time I think about it. Why didn’t I fulfill my responsibilities as a teacher back then? Instead, I became a beast who only thought about eating and drinking. Now I’m old and don’t have many years left to live. Before I die, I just want to make one last contribution to the academy.”

As Zhang Lexuan listened to these old stories, the softest part of her heart was deeply touched.

That tragedy was indeed a permanent pain in her heart. Her former companions were killed or injured because of Xuanzi's alcoholism and drinking. How could she not harbor resentment towards Xuanzi?

However... Moon still owes Shrek Academy a debt of gratitude, and she knows that Shrek Academy cannot afford to lose Xuanzi now, which is why she did what she did to keep Xuanzi here.

Seeing that the time was right, Xuanzi pressed on while the iron was hot and continued speaking.

"The so-called pirated Shrek Academy that I discovered, although not well-known, has a group of people who are incredibly powerful. They possess a heaven-defying technology that could overturn the world of Soul Masters: the technology to change the age of Soul Rings!"

"Le Xuan, do you know? The teachers in that academy all have the same three purple, three black, and three red soul ring configurations! If we can master these techniques, Shrek Academy will surely usher in a new era of glory! If I hadn't had a falling out with that pirated Shrek Academy before, this matter would never have troubled you. After this matter is completed perfectly, I will personally report to Elder Mu and give you a high reward!"

Hearing Xuanzi's words, and seeing the self-reproach on his face, Zhang Lexuan finally softened.

She sighed softly and nodded slightly to Xuanzi.

"Elder Xuan, I understand. Leave this matter to me."

Seeing Zhang Lexuan finally agree, Xuan Zi's previously sorrowful expression vanished instantly, replaced by a look of... well, you know.

He slapped his thigh and exclaimed with ecstatic joy.

"Good! Excellent! Le Xuan, I knew you were a child who considered the bigger picture! Let's not delay, let's go now, lest things get complicated!"

Chapter 120 Could this academy be the Soul Beast Academy?

Outside the Starry Sky Forest, the dense vegetation thins out, revealing a wide meadow.

Xuanzi and Yan Shaozhe arrived here one after another, accompanied by Zhang Lexuan and Ling Luochen.

Zhang Lexuan's gaze passed over Yan Shaozhe and landed on the girl behind him.

The girl's long hair was like ice crystals, gradually changing from deep blue at the roots to silver-white at the ends. Her hair was light and fluffy, and her skin was fair. Her features were delicate, yet she exuded a cool and aloof aura.

When Zhang Lexuan saw this person, the identity of the girl in front of her quickly came to mind: Ling Luochen, one of the Shrek Seven Devils of this generation.

"Elder Xuan."

Ling Luochen nodded slightly, her voice as clear and crisp as her temperament.

When Xuanzi saw the two arrive, the wrinkles on his face smoothed out, and he chuckled twice.

"Okay, it's good that everyone's here."
