Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

"Friendly reminder: Senior Moon had better answer my question honestly, because... it concerns their survival."

"I believe Senior Di Tian would be happy to keep you all here."

Mu En remained silent for a long time, not expecting Xu Yang's questions. However, having lived this long, he wasn't about to be stumped by Xu Yang's few words.

"As for my feelings for Le Xuan, I do have my own selfish motives," Mu En said calmly, as if he were talking about something very ordinary.

"Back then, I was worried about finding a suitable successor. Shao Zhe was of questionable character, and Xuan Zi lacked talent. Neither of them would be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of becoming the head of the Sea God Pavilion."

"So at that time, I focused my attention on the more outstanding young people on the mainland, including Le Xuan's father. I learned of his existence through special channels."

"But the Silver Moon Martial Soul, combined with the surname Kong, reminded me of many things, including the Kong family of the Sun Moon Empire who have inherited the Silver Moon Martial Soul."

"Originally, I only considered Le Xuan as a backup option. I also kept an eye on targets in Tianlongmen, Landian Tyrant Dragon Clan, and some other families."

"But there's nothing we can do. The innate soul power awakened by those targets is simply not enough. There isn't even one with full innate soul power."

"Either their bloodline is too poor, or none of them are qualified."

"At that very moment, Le Xuan also awakened her innate full soul power. However, her identity was always a problem; with the ties of her family, she would not wholeheartedly serve Shrek Academy."

"So I leaked the news that she had innate full soul power to a group of evil soul masters who were hunting down Silver Moon Martial Soul Masters at the time."

"Speaking of which, those evil spirit masters were entrusted by your Sun Moon Empire. At the time, I specifically kept one alive for questioning, and this is the answer he gave me."

"In short, this was a good opportunity to make Le Xuan completely side with Shrek Academy, so I went along with it."

"Then it was what you saw. The day after Le Xuan awakened her innate full soul power, the evil soul master came to her door. I had been keeping an eye on her in secret. Fortunately, the Zhang family protected Le Xuan very well. It wasn't until the Zhang family was all killed that the last one (Le Xuan) was discovered. So I took the opportunity to save her and brought her back to Shrek Academy."

"As for the arranged marriage that Le Xuan is involved in, it's more like an insurance policy, just to ensure that she completely submits to Shrek Academy."

After saying all this, Moon seemed to have completely untied his knot in his heart, and he collapsed.

Zhang Lexuan, on the other hand, didn't show much emotion. Or rather, the greatest sorrow is a broken heart. After hearing everything Mu En said, she completely lost hope in Shrek, the man who raised her.

Moreover, the dream Xu Yang wove for her significantly improved her psychological resilience. In that dream, she ultimately failed to be with Bei Bei; instead, in a place called Qiankun Wenqing Valley, a mysterious being erased all her memories of Bei Bei.

He dedicated his life to Shrek Academy until his death.

It's kind of ridiculous, really.

That's why she was so depressed when she first recovered.

Everything Mu En said shocked everyone at Shrek Academy. To ensure that no one else knew, the Shrek Academy members trapped here by the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield were all at least Title Douluo level.

At this moment, low-level Soul Masters like Ma Xiaotao are still with the people from the Star Luo Empire.

These words overturned their perception of Mu En, especially Yan Shaozhe. In his heart, Mu En had always been the embodiment of light and justice, a respected teacher, a powerful support, and the source of Shrek Academy's confidence in dominating the Douluo Continent.

"Teacher, is everything you just said true?"

Yan Shaozhe felt his worldview was being shattered; in his mind, Mu En was definitely not the kind of person who could do such a thing.

"Dean Yan, at this time, Elder Mu has no need to lie. Your life and death are in the hands of my grandfather and Senior Di Tian."

"Just to save your lives, I don't think there's any need to lie."

Xu Yang walked away from Mu En and turned his gaze to Yan Shaozhe. With his white hair and that face, it was no wonder he was so dashing in his youth.

"Now that things are clear, does Shrek Academy have any objections to bringing my distant cousin back with us?"

"Or... do you want some tuition fees or something?"

"Of course we have that too, for example... would you like some level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells?"

Upon hearing about the Level 9 Fixed-Equipment Soul-Guided Cannonball, Qian Duoduo began to seriously consider its possibilities.

This left Xu Yang speechless. Perhaps in the eyes of the Shrek people, everyone in the world owes them something? They've really fallen for money; they're beyond saving.

"Wake up, everyone! I haven't even asked you for compensation yet! I owe my foolish sister so much for the emotional distress she's suffered over the years, and I owe her the debt of revenge for the extermination of our clan..."

"Do you want level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs that can be launched into Shrek City? If so, I'll clear out my inventory right now and give you the pure enjoyment version."

"Since things have come to this, I won't say anything more. You Shrek students can go your way, and we'll go ours. As for what happens in the future, that's entirely up to what my silly sister thinks."

Goodbye, my Lord.

As Xu Yang spoke, his figure gradually disappeared.

Those outside were also impatient to see Xu Yang and his group come out first.

Especially Ma Xiaotao, who went directly to Xu Yang.

"Kong Qing, what exactly do you want? Release my master!"

Xu Yang ignored Ma Xiaotao's outburst and moved aside, as if Ma Xiaotao had some kind of contagious disease.

"Don't worry, your dear master and those elders will be out soon, and they will all be unharmed, I guarantee it."

He watched all of this with cold eyes for a long time.

Xu Yang's appearance left a deep impression on her. Whether it was his mysterious background or the soul tool that the old man took out, it caused the arrogant Shrek Academy to suffer repeated setbacks.

She herself didn't realize that there was a hint of envy in her gaze as she looked at Xu Yang.

"Did we really make a mistake?"

Soul-guided devices are also a path to heaven.

Both the evil spirit masters of the past and Xu Yang and his group of today have broadened her horizons thanks to soul tools.

"Isn't it too late to start researching now?"

As far as she knew, there was not a single level nine soul master in the Douluo Three Kingdoms. Even about 80% of the level eight soul tools auctioned were smuggled from the Sun Moon Empire.

Is there really enough time left to become a Soul Master?

"How can I balance cultivation with practice...?"

One problem after another surfaced in Xu Jiujiu's mind.
