Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

After taking stock, everyone realized just how devastating the casualties were.

Yan Shaozhe said with some heartache:

"Teacher, this time, apart from Xiao Tao and a few reserve team members who are still unharmed, the other young students in our academy..."

"The other trainees were either critically injured or... completely destroyed."

After saying this, Yan Shaozhe almost collapsed to the ground as if he had lost all his strength.

These were all the future of Shrek Academy, yet they all died here. It was alright if they were ordinary students, but how could he explain to the forces behind those students, like Hu Yancang, who died?

Appeasing the families of these students would undoubtedly be another significant expense. Yan Shaozhe was well aware of Shrek Academy's financial situation; after purchasing this soul bone, they could no longer afford further losses.

The situation was similar in the Star Luo Empire, and even more tragic, with more than one Title Douluo dying.

When the Holy Spirit Cult was besieging the Star Luo Empire, they found it to be an excellent point of attack, so they specially dispatched three of their four elders to deal with them.

Because of the temporary sealing of soul power, the Star Luo Empire faced exceptional difficulties in launching a defensive counterattack.

Therefore, when the evil spirit masters attacked, the people of the Star Luo Empire had no power to fight back at all; it was simply a one-sided massacre.

Xu Jiujiu's expression was very calm, as if he had seen through everything.

She didn't blame Shrek for not providing more support when they were under siege, nor did she dare to.

After all, they were the ones who took the initiative to follow us.

She could only blame herself for being too weak. At this moment, Xu Jiujiu's thirst for power had reached its peak. If she had possessed the power of a Limit Douluo just now, the outcome would have been completely different.

Meanwhile, Zhang Lexuan, hidden in the shadows, was already sobbing uncontrollably. She watched as her classmates, who had been laughing and joking with her on the field, fell one after another like leeks under the attack of the evil spirit masters.

This reminded her of the tragic state of her family when her martial spirit had just awakened.

"It's time for us to take the stage; this grand show is finally coming to an end."

"Grandpa..."

Kong Deming nodded silently, tore open a spatial rift, and Xu Yang and his group were exposed to the Shrek Academy and the Star Luo Empire.

They instinctively became alert, unsure whether Xu Yang and his group were friend or foe, and their sudden appearance hadn't even caught Mu En, the most powerful cultivator present...

Despair had risen in the hearts of many of the survivors. Were they really going to die here today?

Seeing that everyone looked tense, Xu Yang took the initiative to step forward and raised his hands to indicate that he had no hostile intentions.

"This tension isn't good for the negotiations. Everyone, I mean no harm, it's just... there are some things I need to discuss with the Lord of the Sea God Pavilion."

"Please, any bystanders, step aside."

As Xu Yang was speaking, Kong Deming had already released the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, enveloping himself and the other Shrek Academy titled Douluos together.

Yan Shaozhe and the others looked at Kong Deming in surprise. The moment Kong Deming made his move, they tried to resist, but for some reason, it was completely ineffective.

"Even his master, the mighty Dragon God Douluo, couldn't put up a fight?"

"It seems that the person in front of us must be the Limit Douluo that Elder Xuan mentioned, who is suspected of controlling the power of space."

"Also, is this a soul tool? Are they from the Sun Moon Empire?"

"And... what is that?" Yan Shaozhe rubbed his eyes, almost thinking he was seeing things. He actually saw Zhang Lexuan, the one who was kidnapped by a mysterious powerhouse, and even Elder Xuan couldn't stop her. According to Ma Xiaotao, Zhang Lexuan had already betrayed Shrek Academy.

"How did she end up in this group? And besides Zhang Lexuan, he can't figure out anyone in this group. This shouldn't be happening..."

Keep in mind that he is now a level 95 Super Douluo, a well-known and powerful figure in the Douluo Continent.

He couldn't even see through the three children!

It's hard to believe that the Dean of Shrek Academy could actually... couldn't even see through the cultivation levels of three children around ten years old.

"And that tall man, he looks familiar... I think I've seen him mentioned in some Shrek Academy book?"

While Yan Shaozhe was still lost in thought, Mu En, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

"I never imagined that the soul tools of the Sun Moon Empire could have developed to this level. When Xuanzi told me about it before, I was somewhat skeptical, but it seems it was true..."

"And Xiaoyao, I never expected that we old friends would meet in this way. It's truly an incredible coincidence..."

"And... Your Majesty the Beast God."

"I think everyone is here today to discuss something, just as this young friend said earlier."

"I think the matter you wish to discuss is the future custody of the child, Le Xuan."

Kong Deming nodded silently. He didn't have much experience in this area, so Xu Yang took the initiative to take on the task of negotiating with Mu En.

"Let's cut to the chase, or rather, we don't really have much to say."

Xu Yang walked to Mu En's wheelchair. He wasn't worried that Mu En would suddenly attack him. Even if Mu En did, he had more than one way to deal with it.

Silver Moon Guardian, Gu Yue Na, and the Mark of the God of Destruction are not to be underestimated.

Xu Yang bent down slightly, meeting Mu En's gaze.

He saw Mu En's eyes; though they were cloudy, he could still see the majesty of a Limit Douluo within them.

Perhaps he could show more compassion when looking at other Shrek Academy students, but that was something Xu Yang clearly couldn't see.

"Your Majesty, Dragon God Douluo, the purpose of our large gathering here is to discuss the issue of my distant cousin's fate. We are very grateful for Shrek Academy's nurturing of her over the years. However, there is one thing I am very curious about: why did you appear when my poor cousin had just awakened her martial soul and her whole family was killed by evil soul masters? Is there really such a coincidence in this world?"

"Also, regarding her arranged marriage, I think you should give me an explanation. Although she has kept it to herself and said nothing, as her younger brother, I have to get justice for her."

"Isn't this a bit like you trying to take advantage of someone's kindness?"

Zhang Lexuan looked at Xu Yang, who was chatting with Mu En, in shock. She didn't know when she had talked to Xu Yang about these private matters.

"Don't be surprised, senior. To weave a proper dream for you, I pried into all your memories. Remember, all of them..."

"So now, you have no secrets from me."

"And I heard that your great-grandson seems to have a girlfriend, I think her name is Tang Ya, and she is the only remaining sect leader of the Tang Clan. Is he trying to have his cake and eat it too?"

"You haven't neglected the Tang Sect's legacy either, and you hope someone can carry on the Shrek Academy's spirit..."
