Douluo Continent: Saving Zhang Lexuan at the Start

Chapter 113: Physically disabled and mentally undead

"Oh, so that means the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School really was wiped out?"

The voice was quite hoarse, and the speaker was a crippled old man with only his upper body, a weathered face, and wrinkles so deep they could trap a mosquito.

This person was none other than Mu En, who was once awe-inspiring and arrogant in Douluo Continent, even daring to call himself the Dragon God.

(Just kidding, I don't know why he wasn't killed by Di Tian when he used that title.)

Before him stood an elderly man with gray hair and a vigorous spirit, whose gray eyes were unpredictable. "Yes, teacher, but I only recently found out that the person who made the move is quite powerful, managing to keep it a secret for a month before the outside world found out."

The fact that the old man could address Mu En as "teacher" speaks volumes about his identity; he was none other than Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department.

Mu En, whose body still retained a faint trace of the Sea God's light, sighed, "Alas, such is fate. I wonder if anyone from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has also survived."

Hearing his teacher's words, Yan Shaozhe, standing in front of Mu En, respectfully said, "Ning Yu, the current young master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, has returned to the academy. In addition, I heard that Wu Changyun, who was once known as one of the two heroes of Dragon City, has returned to Dragon City with his wife and two little girls. Yu Longhua, the sect master of the Heavenly Dragon Sect who recently broke through to level 95, personally received them."

When Yan Shaozhe mentioned Ye Ying's grandfather's jade dragon painting, a complex look appeared in Mu En's eyes, and his withered old hands involuntarily gripped the armrests of the recliner.

He worked so hard to help the family snatch the title of the main family from the Yu family, but unfortunately the family members were really disappointing. For two hundred years, there hasn't been another titled Douluo!

As cunning as a fox and adept at reading people, Yan Shaozhe also noticed his teacher's unusual behavior, but he silently lowered his head and pretended not to see anything.

Just then, a little boy with a disheveled appearance but gorgeous clothes and sky-blue hair quietly came to Moon's side.

The little boy remained expressionless and silently stayed beside Moon.

After seeing the little boy, Moon gradually recovered from her earlier unease and said with great tenderness, "Beibei, did you play with your friends again today?"

Beibei nodded silently. "They still say I'm a bastard with no parents."

Before Mu En could react, Yan Shaozhe's expression changed drastically. "Teacher, this—"

Mu En gently stroked Bei Bei's sky-blue hair with his withered old hands and shook his head. "To become a true strongman, you have to endure some trials. These are just childish jokes. If you can't even withstand these, no matter how talented you are, you won't go far on the path of a Soul Master."

Yan Shaozhe didn't say anything more. After all, he and Beibei weren't blood relatives like Mu En, and saying too much would only offend people.

When Beibei, who had just turned five, heard the term "Soul Master," her heart was filled with anticipation and longing.

With Mu En's guidance, although he is still young, he is quite knowledgeable. He already knows what kind of martial soul his family might awaken, and that having soul power is inevitable.

There's still a year left. Once he becomes a Soul Master, those who bullied him will never dare to look down on him again.

Two hundred miles away from this small town, on the shore of Seagod Lake at Shrek Academy, Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan were preparing meat and spiritual vegetables for a barbecue.

Zhang Lexuan skillfully picked up a skewer of cumin-flavored pork and ate it with relish. A hint of joy flashed in her smiling eyes. She sat to the side, swaying her legs, which had gained some weight and lost some weight.

Ye Ying was still grilling food, and every now and then she would offer her a new skewer or a refreshing fruit drink when she finished eating.

Taking the fruit drink Ye Ying handed her, Zhang Lexuan took a leisurely sip. "Well, Brother Ying, I've asked my family to find out about the situation in Wolong Town. According to their intelligence, four years ago, the official road between the Tianhun Empire and Shrek Academy was buried by a mudslide. The effort required to clear the mudslide was too great, so the Tianhun Empire chose to change its route. Merchants started entering Wolong Town around three years ago."

Ye Ying casually turned off the barbecue grill and sat down next to Zhang Lexuan, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. "Is Wolong Town really the original name of this town?"

Holding the fruit drink, Zhang Lexuan nestled against Ye Ying, then suddenly stood up, as if she had remembered something.

"By the way, when my family was investigating Wolong Town, they did discover something strange. Wolong Town seems to have appeared out of thin air. This is what my family heard from those merchants from Shrek City who travel to the Heavenly Soul Empire year-round."

Ye Ying casually put his arm around Zhang Lexuan's soft waist, letting her lean against him, and said with a gentle smile, "I see, this Wolong Town is quite a coincidence, isn't it?"

He originally thought that Mu En might take his bastard child and go far away, and live in seclusion with his family's useless members, but he didn't expect that Mu En was still up to his old tricks.

They actually dared to go to the Heavenly Soul Empire, and it's so close to Shrek Academy. They really aren't afraid of death!

It's important to know that within the Heavenly Soul Empire, it wasn't just the Ye family who wanted Mu En dead; Ye Ying, the cheap master of the Body Sect, also wished nothing more than to eliminate him.

Of course, Moon has the resources to play dirty tricks.

He was betting that the Ye family and the Body Sect wouldn't dare to completely sever ties with Shrek Academy and thus take action against him.

Ye Ying didn't bother to care, after all, his lifespan was only a little over a decade, and he would die of old age sooner or later.

But he still dared to call himself a sleeping dragon, which was something Ye Ying could not tolerate.

Immediately, the small figure being chased that she had seen not long ago appeared in Ye Ying's mind.

Taking a sip of her fruit drink, Ye Ying's eyes flashed with a cold glint. "So you're Wolong, then don't blame me for being impolite."

"Ding, strong emotional fluctuations detected in the host. A source of evil spirits is hereby granted to the host. The host should know how to operate it. Make the person that Moon cares about most destroy what he cares about and is most proud of."

Ye Ying's face lit up slightly. He hadn't expected the system to be so good, coinciding perfectly with his own thoughts!

Before he could even react, a pair of soft, warm hands gently cupped his cheeks, and a pair of beautiful eyes stared intently into his eyes. "Brother Ying, what are you thinking about again? Tomorrow is the inner courtyard; we might not get through so easily."

Their cheeks were almost touching. Zhang Lexuan's breath was fragrant, and Ye Ying quite enjoyed the natural scent of a young woman. "It doesn't matter. If we don't pass, we can just go home."

Zhang Lexuan chuckled, but didn't say anything. Mainly, she didn't quite believe that Shrek Academy would do anything outrageous, after all, her own person was not someone to be trifled with now.
