After a moment of silence, Elder Zhuang slowly began to speak.
"Go and have a look."
Qian Duoduo had a troubled expression. He knew he couldn't even beat a gatekeeper back then, so the person who came to their academy to seek justice was definitely not a gatekeeper. Their strength was not to be underestimated. He hoped this incident could be resolved peacefully.
"Thank you for your help."
Qian Duoduo and the others left.
This was quite a terrifying spectacle. Keep in mind that all members of Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion had mobilized. Unless Shrek Academy was facing a life-or-death situation, it would be impossible to witness such a grand scene!
Meanwhile, teachers from all over the college rushed toward the main gate.
Although they didn't know exactly what had happened, someone was openly provoking them at the school gates, and as members of Shrek Academy, they couldn't just sit idly by.
Inside the treatment room, a faint medicinal fragrance filled the air.
The old man lying on the innermost hospital bed suddenly twitched his fingers slightly.
Moon's brows were furrowed, and a look of pain appeared on his aged face.
It felt like...a nightmare.
His lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.
A first-grade classroom.
Zhou Yi stood on the podium, holding a piece of chalk in her hand, writing something on the blackboard.
The noise outside the door could be faintly heard, and several students couldn't help but turn their heads and look out the window.
"What are you looking at?"
Zhou Yi's voice suddenly rose, and she slammed the chalk in her hand onto the lectern with a "thud".
"What's so interesting about it?"
Her gaze swept over every student in the classroom, her eyes filled with sternness.
"The academy will handle it! Shrek Academy has stood on the continent for ten thousand years, what storms haven't we weathered? After all these years of not showing our power, does anyone really dare to provoke us?"
She snorted coldly, her tone carrying a hint of disdain.
"What you should be worried about now is not what's happening outside, but whether you'll be expelled from school!"
Zhou Yi's gaze swept over the students, her voice growing increasingly stern.
"Shrek Academy isn't a place to stay! With your current strength, it's simply impossible for you to get into the inner academy!"
"Don't think you can rest easy just because you passed the freshman competition! You are still a long way from being true geniuses!"
The atmosphere in the classroom instantly became heavy. The students who had been curious about what was happening outside all lowered their heads and dared not utter a sound.
It's important to know that due to the freshman competition and Zhou Yi's strict teaching, there are now fewer than forty students left in the entire class. (In the original novel, there were sixty-seven students left after the freshman competition.)
Zhou Yi withdrew her gaze, picked up the chalk again, and wrote several large characters on the blackboard.
"Today, we'll talk about the relationships of restraint between Soul Masters."
Her voice returned to calm, as if the noise outside had nothing to do with her.
"The so-called counter is not absolute. The attributes of the martial soul, the difference in the configuration of the soul rings, the choice of combat style... will all affect the final result."
"What you need to learn is how to find advantages in disadvantages, and how to seek breakthroughs in suppression..."
The main gate of Shrek Academy.
At this moment, dozens of people have gathered in the open space in front of the main gate.
Several elders of the Sea God Pavilion stood at the front: Elder Song, Elder Lin Huiqun, Elder Zhuang, Qian Duoduo... Each of them had a solemn expression on their face.
Behind them were the academy's faculty and highly capable students.
Fan Yu stood in the crowd, his brows furrowed, his gaze fixed on the figure in front of him.
Beside him, He Caitou also had a serious expression, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
"What a grand scene..."
He Caitou said in a low voice, his tone tinged with emotion.
"I've been in this college for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen someone dare to come knocking on our door."
Xu Sanshi stood not far away, arms crossed, a hint of disdain on his handsome face.
"Dare to cause trouble at Shrek Academy? You're asking for it!"
Looking at Zang Xin in front of him, Xu Sanshi knew that this guy was definitely not weak, after all, he could make a sound that could be heard throughout the entire Shrek Academy.
Of course, there's another point: if one's strength is that weak, one wouldn't dare to provoke Shrek Academy.
Now that almost all the strong individuals from Shrek Academy have gathered here, Xu Sanshi feels there's nothing to worry about. Anyway, it's quite easy for the academy to resolve any troubles.
Fan Yu's brows furrowed even deeper.
His gaze lingered on Zang Xin for a moment, then swept over Wang Dong'er and the other three behind him, before finally landing on Shen Ce, who was slumped on the ground.
Shen Ce... the city lord of Shrek City, a powerful expert at the Douluo level.
How could someone have beaten him up like that?
A strong sense of unease welled up in Fan Yu's heart.
Who exactly is this person?
Xuanzi stood at the very front of the crowd, his face ashen.
Xuanzi's voice was icy, carrying a hint of gnashing hatred.
"So it was you who dared to spout such nonsense in front of Shrek Academy?"
Zang Xin looked at him, her lips slightly upturned.
"Speaking nonsense?"
He shook his head, his tone carrying a hint of sarcasm.
"I'm just here to seek justice."
"justice?"
Xuanzi gave a cold laugh.
"Who do you think you are? You dare to come to Shrek Academy to demand justice?"
Zang Xin was not angry; his smile remained gentle.
"What I am is not important."
He paused, then gently twitched the amorous sword in his hand.
"The important thing is that you have to pay the price for doing something wrong."
Upon hearing this conversation, Bei Bei realized something was wrong. Wait a minute, hadn't she already said that Zang Xin was an Ultimate Douluo? How could Xuan Zi dare to say such a thing? Did he have some kind of confidence in him?
Of course, Beibei felt that Xuanzi had no confidence at all. Even if so many people from Shrek Academy attacked together, they might not be able to defeat Zang Xin.
Beibei didn't know how strong the Limit Douluo was, because she had never seen Mu En make a move since she could remember, so she couldn't grasp Zang Xin's fighting strength either.
However, Beibei now understands one thing: if Xuanzi chooses to fight to the end, Shrek Academy will definitely face annihilation!
With so many people, is there really no one who can see through this matter?
Beibei's gaze fell on the old man, hoping someone could prevent this conflict from erupting.
His fingernails dug into his palm, and he felt it again: if you are weak, you have no voice.
Chapter 222 Even if I can't win, I will fight for the glory of Shrek Academy!
After Zang Xin finished speaking, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion did not respond immediately.
Old Song took a step forward, his murky yet gleaming eyes lingering on Zang Xin for a moment, then sweeping over Wang Dong'er and the other three behind him, before finally landing on Shen Ce, who was slumped on the ground.
“Your Excellency…”
When Old Song spoke, her voice was deep and steady, carrying the composure unique to elders. She was a senior member of Shrek Academy, second only to Xuanzi in terms of experience and strength.
"You say you've come to seek justice, but what wrong has Shrek Academy done to warrant such a fuss?"
Zang Xin looked at her, his lips slightly upturned.
He didn't speak, but simply raised the Amorous Sword in his hand and gently pointed the tip of the sword at Shen Ce, who was slumped on the ground in front of him.
"You all probably know this person, right?"
The fishy smell fell on Shen Ce with a swish.
Shen Ce looked utterly miserable. His clothes were tattered, dried blood clung to the corner of his mouth, and his face was as pale as paper. He was slumped on the ground, too weak to even stand up.
Fan Yu stood in the crowd and saw Shen Ce's appearance, her pupils suddenly contracted.
He certainly knew Shen Ce, the city lord of Shrek City and a powerful expert at the Douluo level.
In Shrek City, Shen Ce's status was second only to the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, making him a truly powerful figure.
But now...
Fan Yu's gaze swept over Shen Ce, and a strong sense of unease welled up in her heart.
How could a titled Douluo be beaten into such a state? Moreover, Zang Xin's clothes were clean, with hardly any dust on them.
What does this mean?
This means that when Shen Ce faces this person, he probably won't even be able to cause the slightest trouble for them.
Fan Yu's Adam's apple bobbed, and her gaze toward Zang Xin became even more serious.
"This Lord Shen Ce is the administrator of your Shrek City."
Zang Xin's voice was calm and clear, reaching the ears of everyone present.
"And as far as I know, your Shrek City was built in reliance on Shrek Academy. So, as members of the Shrek Academy leadership, you couldn't possibly be unaware of what he's been doing, could you?"
Old Song's brows furrowed even deeper.
Her gaze fell on Shen Ce again, and she had already vaguely guessed what was going on.
"Shen Ce, what exactly happened?"
Shen Ce opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that he couldn't make a sound at all.
His throat was so dry it felt like it had been sanded, and he could only shake his head with difficulty, his eyes filled with bitterness and regret.
Seeing this, Zang Xin chuckled and spoke up for Shen Ce.
"Your City Lord Shen Ce has set up a 'guided price' system. He sells a simple dish of meat from a hundred-year-old soul beast for a sky-high price of 500,000 gold soul coins. He doesn't tell you the price when you order, but pulls out a hidden clause when you pay the bill, forcibly ripping off your customers."
He paused, his tone becoming colder.
"If customers can't afford it, they are forced to sign high-interest loan IOUs, or even detained in the city to work and pay off their debts. And your Shrek City law enforcement team not only fails to uphold justice, but also aids and abets evil, turns black into white, and supports these black shops."
Zang Xin raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the sparse figures in the Sea God Pavilion.
"Did you know about these things?"
Old Song's face instantly turned ugly.
Of course she knew.
The elders of the Sea God Pavilion were all well aware of this matter.
When they learned about this, they had spoken to Xuanzi, but they did not expect that Xuanzi would still go his own way. In addition, after Mu En fell into a coma, they found it difficult to control Xuanzi's behavior.
And they...did not pursue the matter any further.
Old Song was silent for a moment, a deep sense of guilt welling up in his heart.
Ultimately, they also bear responsibility for this matter.
Lin Huiqun and Elder Zhuang both looked unwell.
The sea god's pavilion, along with the other two, all fell upon Xuanzi.
Despite being stared at by so many people, Xuanzi's expression remained unchanged.
He still had that ferocious look on his face, his eyes fixed on Zang Xin as if he wanted to devour him alive.
