Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 233, Page 229: The Current Status of the Shrek Five

Of the Shrek Seven Devils, apart from Dai Mubai, the others each have their own development.

Oscar and Ning Rongrong had disappeared without a trace. Together, they found Ning Fengzhi and the remaining hidden members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

When Ning Rongrong saw Ning Fengzhi, she immediately hugged her father and burst into tears. In such a short time, Ning Fengzhi's hair had turned completely white. The once refined middle-aged man now looked like an old man.

Over the years, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has undergone many changes, from nearly 4000 disciples at the beginning to less than 1000 after the war that destroyed the school.

Then, they joined the war without hesitation, assisting the Heaven Dou Empire in fighting against the Spirit Empire. As a result, the war was lost, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had only a few dozen disciples left, with some hiding in the Vast Ocean City.

As the sect leader, Ning Fengzhi watched his sect decline step by step and suffered setbacks time and time again. Finally, when he visited the Elemental Academy, he began to have some enlightenment.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has suffered setbacks in recent years, while the Elemental Academy has been the best preserved and developed among all the forces, with almost no casualties.

The root cause of his repeated setbacks over the years was that he was blinded by hatred and ambition. When the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was thriving, his ego swelled, and he repeatedly provoked the Spirit Hall, ultimately leading to the Spirit Hall's ruthless attack, resulting in countless deaths and injuries within the sect.

Later, they even actively participated in the war. Regardless of whether they won or lost, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would suffer countless casualties and would only be a loser.

In the end, Ning Fengzhi decisively disbanded the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and all his direct disciples went into seclusion, which can be considered as winning a glimmer of hope.

Seeing my beloved daughter back now has lifted my spirits a bit.

After some discussion, Ning Fengzhi decided on two important matters. First, he would pass on the position of sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to Ning Rongrong, or rather, he would pass on the position of patriarch of the family to Ning Rongrong, so that the family would have a succession.

Secondly, he agreed to Ning Rongrong and Oscar's marriage, and that the two should get married as soon as possible and then manage the family together.

Hong Jun, the last member of Shrek Academy, followed Bai Chenxiang to the Power Clan and the Agility Clan, to which the Tang Clan originally belonged.

After joining the Tang Sect, the two families enjoyed a period of glory. The Power Clan specialized in crafting hidden weapons for the Heaven Dou Empire, enjoying national financial support and living a very good life. The Agility Clan served as spies in the war, which was also an important department, and their family treatment was much better than before.

However, with the defeat of the Heaven Dou Empire in the war, many members of the Min clan died on the battlefield. Then, Heaven Dou City was taken over by the Spirit Empire, and the Tang Clan was also besieged by the Spirit Empire, suffering countless casualties. If they hadn't run away fast enough, their clan would probably have been wiped out.

When Bai Chenxiang and Ma Hongjun found Bai He and the others, the Tang Clan was already in a very miserable state.

Now that the Douluo Federation has unified the entire continent, everyone thought they could make a comeback. However, after the hidden weapons produced by the Tang Sect entered the market, the Judgment Department immediately came to warn them that no non-governmental force was allowed to produce or manufacture dangerous equipment or war equipment.

The Tang Clan's hidden weapons are quite powerful and very easy to use. If they were to enter society, they could easily cause social unrest. Therefore, the Judgment Department was arranged to issue a warning.

Titan originally intended to throw iron, but the Demon Bear Douluo stationed in the Douluo Federation came directly to their door, warning Titan and Bai He that if they continued to produce weapons privately, they would be arrested on charges of endangering society.

After the Tang Clan was unable to produce and sell hidden weapons, life became very difficult, and the entire sect became much more miserable.

Seeing the miserable state of the Tang Clan, and knowing that he lacked assertiveness and didn't like taking responsibility, Ma Hongjun ultimately only confirmed his marriage to Bai Chenxiang with Bai He. As for agreeing to help Tang San develop the Tang Clan, he felt powerless to do so.

After getting married, Ma Hongjun and Bai Chenxiang returned to Shrek Academy and became teachers there, mainly responsible for teaching duties.

This job is perfect for Ma Hongjun's personality. It not only pays well but also offers a comfortable life with little danger or challenge, making it very suitable for him.

The Tang Clan gradually declined and was on the verge of disintegration. However, Titan was a resolute man and refused to disband the Tang Clan. Now, the Tang Clan can only make a living by obtaining some ordinary swords and even some daily necessities.

Yu Xiaogang was completely devastated. The disciple he had painstakingly cultivated throughout his life had left, and his enemies had now joined the Douluo Federation, holding high positions of power.

His once-proud theories were almost completely refuted, and he felt utterly hopeless.

Originally, I wanted to republish my theory based on my past experience and humiliate those who refuted me.

When he saw the newly compiled teaching materials of the Douluo Federation, he seemed to be completely numb.

This newly compiled textbook is almost all-encompassing. Even the simplest topic, the absorption period of a spirit ring, has notes on the specific absorption period recommended for different types of spirit masters. It especially emphasizes that the absorption period of a spirit ring is related to the physical fitness of the spirit master, and it is best to ask the Awakening Hall to help test the physical strength in advance.

The Awakening Hall of the Douluo Federation, in addition to conducting Martial Soul Awakening with a group of Soul Masters and supervising the Soul Beast Forests in various regions, has also added a Soul Master physical fitness testing service, supposedly because the research and development department has created a Soul Guidance Device for testing physical fitness.

The gap is even greater in other knowledge points. Just looking at the data, the research data marked in the textbook is hundreds or thousands of times more than the amount of research Yu Xiaogang has done in the past.

Yu Xiaogang even felt that his so-called Ten Core Principles of Martial Soul, compared with these textbooks, were like fireflies compared with the bright moon—they were simply too inferior.

No matter how hard Yu Xiaogang thought, he couldn't come up with any new theories, and there were even many things in the textbooks that he himself had never seen before.

This research left Yu Xiaogang even more dejected and desperate. One could even say his heart was about to die. For a scholar so devoted to his knowledge, there is no greater tragedy or pain than this.

In particular, the textbook's rebuttal of his own knowledge is tantamount to whipping Yu Xiaogang's face, and even his soul.

Although this person is still alive, it's no different from being dead.

As for Liu Erlong and Flander, both were devoted to their educational careers. Liu Erlong, in particular, as a public servant in the Douluo Federation's Ministry of Education, didn't have much time to spend on Yu Xiaogang, since he himself was just a released prisoner. Aside from occasionally comforting Yu Xiaogang, there wasn't much else he could do.

Whether it was the Shrek Seven or the entire nation and people of Douluo Continent, they all embarked on a path completely different from the original story.
