Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 180 Xuanzi is locked in a dark room

"Ah, this..." Xuanzi's old face turned red, and he stammered, unable to utter a single nonsense.

Seeing Xuanzi's appearance, Elder Zhuang felt a chill in his heart, and a bad premonition suddenly surfaced in his mind.

If he had truly encountered a formidable enemy, Xuanzi would not have acted this way. He would have been consumed by rage and, upon returning to Shrek Academy, would have immediately been shouting for reinforcements to fight back.

Xuanzi's behavior reminded Zhuang Lao of another accident from a few years ago.

That time, it was Xuanzi, that scoundrel, who led a team of inner court students to hunt soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. However, he got into trouble because of drinking and got separated from the team of inner court students. In the end, the inner court students were attacked by a 100,000-year-old soul beast, resulting in heavy casualties.

Even though the final 100,000-year-old soul beast was killed by the inner court disciples who fought desperately, its soul ring and soul bone were absorbed by Zhang Lexuan, the current chief disciple of the inner court, and became her power.

But those inner court prodigies who died are, in the end, dead.

Now, with Xuanzi leading the team again and a large number of inner court disciples suffering casualties, and Xuanzi still wearing that constipated expression, it's really hard not to make Elder Zhuang suspicious.

But the more important problem is...

He was right!

"Elder Xuan, please speak quickly!" Thinking of this, Elder Zhuang couldn't help but shout loudly.

Xuanzi's tall body trembled slightly. After letting out a long sigh, he said with a dejected expression, "Let's go to the Sea God Pavilion. We'll talk about it later."

Old Zhuang clenched his fist, his anger rising.

If it weren't for the fact that Xuanzi's soul power level was higher than his, and that he wasn't a healing-type soul master, he would have jumped up and punched Xuanzi's old face a few times.

You bastard!

After quickly preparing a series of medicinal herbs and making three tubs of medicinal bath, Elder Zhuang carefully sent Dai Yueheng and the other two into the tubs before heading to the Sea God Pavilion with Xuanzi.

The Shrek Academy people are notoriously stingy, and Elder Zhuang is no exception, but he is ultimately a healing-type Soul Master with his own principles and bottom line.

If we were to follow Shrek Academy's tradition, it would be absolutely not worth wasting so many precious medicinal herbs on these three useless people to cure them. The best option would be to cut our losses in time.

However, his pride as a healing-type Soul Master wouldn't allow him to do that. Since the wounded had already been brought to him, he had an obligation to do his best to treat them.

The three tubs of medicinal baths were prepared according to the different injuries of Dai Yueheng and the other two.

Dai Yueheng's medicinal baths are formulated with herbs that are mainly aimed at healing internal injuries and replenishing vitality.

Gongyang Mo's medicinal bath was prepared with herbs that were designed to remove the corpse poison and replenish his vital essence. After all, the corpse poison had really burned half of his life, and all Elder Zhuang could say was to replenish as much as possible.

Xi Xi's medicinal bath was similar to Dai Yueheng's, since their injuries were roughly the same.

That's all that Master Zhuang can do.

Within the Sea God Pavilion, the strange fluctuations representing the Sea God Pavilion meetings once again emanated from the Golden Tree. Although the other elders of the Sea God Pavilion were puzzled as to why the Sea God Pavilion meetings had been so frequent recently, they still rushed towards the Sea God Pavilion.

Upon entering, one sees Old Master Zhuang with a cold face, and Xuanzi, who is full of guilt and gulping down wine.

At the head of the table, Mu En appeared quietly, glancing suspiciously at Xuan Zi, wondering what this brat was up to now. However, his heart inexplicably skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt a sense of suffocation. His heart stopped!

Holy crap, this is bad!

Mu En's old face immediately darkened, and he stared at Xuan Zi with an unfriendly gaze. His dim golden eyes flickered uncertainly, as if he was considering whether he should just slap Xuan Zi to death.

Just by looking at Xuanzi's appearance, Mu En could tell that he was definitely up to no good.

Having known him for nearly two hundred years, Mu En understood Xuanzi's character all too well. He could tell whether Xuanzi wanted to poop or fart or wanted to be pooped just by sticking his butt out.

However, we still have to wait for Xuanzi to explain things clearly before we come.

Mu En could only suppress the urge to kill Xuan Zi and said calmly, "Speak, what is the reason for convening this Sea God Pavilion meeting? And why did you, the teacher who led the team to participate in the Soul Battle Competition, suddenly return to the academy?"

Upon hearing Mu En's words, Xuanzi put down the wine gourd in his hand, his body exuding a sense of despondency, and his expression showing a hint of self-abandonment.

"The reason for convening this meeting of the Sea God Pavilion is twofold: first, because the participating teams suffered heavy losses due to my mistakes; and second, because I want to relinquish all my positions in the academy and simply live a life of leisure." Xuanzi's tone was low, his voice suppressing intense pain.

Before anyone could speak, Xuanzi raised his hand to stop them, tears streaming down his face. "Everyone," he said, "I'm so sorry to the children. It's all my fault!"

(As expected of the Supreme Elder, his acting skills are unparalleled!)

Then, Xuanzi recounted what exactly happened to the main team during the mission, including the extent of the team's losses, giving a complete account of the events.

He didn't hide anything. Apart from explaining his actions of catching the Void Kun Chicken as a sign that he trusted the students and that's why he didn't go in but instead drank outside the cave, he didn't conceal anything else.

After saying that, Xuanzi stood up and staggered away from the Sea God Pavilion.

That figure from behind truly carried endless regret and bitterness, appearing exceptionally desolate and forlorn...

"Stop." Moon said indifferently.

"You can't leave!"

Xuanzi didn't turn around, his voice trembling: "Elder Mu, I really have no face to stay here any longer!"

"Heh, come and go as you please? Do you think Shrek Academy is a vegetable market?" Mu En sneered, his soul power gradually surging. The light aura of the Holy Dragon of Light and the light aura of the Golden Tree resonated with each other, like a lion awakening, exuding a strong sense of oppression.

"I was originally going to give you a chance to lead a team to participate in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament again, and then send you to the bottom of the Golden Tree to reflect on your mistakes after you came back. But you've done this to me again."

"Now that something's happened, you're thinking of running away?"

Xuanzi's breath hitched, and his expression turned terrified.

"I told you, if you cause any more trouble, you can go live next to Shao Zhe. Without my orders, you are never to step out of the lowest level again!" Mu En's eyes blazed with fire as he instantly appeared in front of Xuan Zi. His withered hand struck Xuan Zi's chest and then threw him into the spatial passage.

As a Limit Douluo, Mu En was naturally able to manipulate spatial power, and throwing Xuan Zi into the Golden Tree to step on the sewing machine was just a small test of his abilities.

It could even be said that as long as one is inside the Golden Tree, Mu En will possess the strength of a quasi-god from the era of the Dragon King Legend. This is the power of the Golden Tree.
