Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 277 Zhang Lexuan: Mu the Old Dog!

Leaving aside the turmoil at Shrek Academy.

It's definitely a complete mess, and at least the four deans of the Foreign Languages ​​Department are already feeling incredibly uneasy.

The Martial Soul Department suffered a major blow. Cai Meier looked at the increasingly empty outer academy campus every day. Her once well-maintained black hair had grown a lot of white hair, and she was always frowning.

On the contrary, Zhang Lexuan was quite calm.

Although she is now the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department and belongs to the higher-ups of Shrek Academy, the disgusting faces of those Sea God Pavilion members at the previous Sea God Pavilion meeting are still deeply imprinted in her mind.

Since she took over the affairs of the Martial Soul Department, she still follows her usual habits and does things meticulously, but she only treats it as a job. It is basically impossible for her to treat Shrek Academy as her only home as before.

not to mention……

She had also read the book "Phoenix Playing with Two Dragons." If her childhood memories were correct, the enemy who wiped out her entire family was none other than an evil spirit master...

The entire Zhang family was wiped out, from the family's patriarch, who was at the level of a Soul Douluo, to the infant Ya Ya, who was less than a month old. They all became the dead souls of the evil Soul Master. She even watched her father being dismembered, and the vengeful spirit that wailed in pain became nourishment for the evil Soul Master.

So, everyone in the Zhang family died, so why did she, who was not even twelve years old at the time, survive?

How did she manage to survive? What power or ability did she possess to escape from that evil spirit master?

When I was young, I didn't understand things. After I became powerful, I deliberately avoided recalling those painful memories. But from today's perspective, the evil soul master back then was at least a terrifying powerhouse at the Title Douluo level. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the Zhang family to be wiped out except for her.

So, it's still the same question.

How could she possibly escape from a Title Douluo-level evil soul master?

For a true powerhouse, finding a hiding child is far too easy. Zhang Lexuan herself can use her mental power to cover a certain area and search for life within that area.

Everything that happened back then was too coincidental to be examined too closely, otherwise there would be flaws and inconsistencies everywhere.

Now, after reading "Phoenix Plays with Two Dragons," and with her Soul Douluo-level perspective, she re-examines the tragedy that happened to her.

"...Why...?"

Zhang Lexuan closed the book in her hand, staring blankly at the four large ink characters "Phoenix Playing with Two Dragons" written on the book cover, and looking at the painting of Mu En on the book cover, a tear slid down her flawless face.

Was it all a conspiracy?

"I'll do anything to avenge me!"

"Are you really willing to do anything?"

"Yes, help me avenge my family, help me kill the enemies who wiped out my entire clan, and I'll grant you anything!"

"Sigh... Fine, hunting down evil spirit masters is Shrek Academy's duty. Since your obsession runs so deep, I'll agree. In exchange, I hope you'll become my great-grandson's child bride."

Okay, I agree!

……

Yes! Hunting down evil spirit masters has been something Shrek Academy has been doing for ten thousand years. Even without Zhang Lexuan's request, the evil spirit master titled Douluo who committed such a heinous and cruel act as wiping out the entire Zhang family would definitely be hunted down by Shrek Academy.

As the master of the Sea God Pavilion, Mu En had an even greater responsibility to take action upon learning of this matter, to kill this Title Douluo evil soul master and uphold 'justice'.

but……

He actually used this kind of thing, something he should have done, to make a homeless little girl his great-grandson's child bride!

Her dazed eyes gradually focused, and a flash of crimson light appeared in Zhang Lexuan's bright, beautiful eyes, as if igniting the resentment and rage that consumed the entire world, burning fiercely within her heart. "An evil soul master..."

"Mu, you old dog!!!!"

"I, Zhang Lexuan, will fight you to the death!"

……

To be fair, the reason why the Zhang family was destroyed was indeed a bit bizarre. The Zhang family was a noble family of the Douling Empire, but their family's inherited martial soul was the Moon, the inherited martial soul of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family.

In Douluo Continent, anything can be faked, but the martial soul inherited by a family is impossible to fake (except for transmigrators with overpowered abilities). As soon as you release your martial soul, it can basically be determined which family you belong to, provided that it is a relatively famous martial soul.

For example, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, throughout the Douluo Continent worldview, this martial soul has only appeared in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and has never been spread outside. The Clear Sky Hammer is also a representative of the Clear Sky School, as is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus.

Why is it called the Sun and Moon Empire?

It's simply that their royal family's inherited martial spirits are the sun and the moon. Both of these martial spirits can be seen in Kong Deming. His twin martial spirits are the sun and the moon, which is enough to prove that the Zhang family has the bloodline of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Even... the Zhang family may very well be a branch that originated from the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire.

The Zhang family's annihilation was shrouded in mystery and strangeness. Coming from the Sun Moon Empire to the Douling Empire, they would never be too high-profile or offend anyone. Moreover, the Douling Empire was the weakest of the four great empires, and the number of forces with titled Douluo in charge within its borders was extremely limited, easily countable on one or two hands.

How could the Zhang family possibly offend them?

But the Zhang family was wiped out, and Zhang Lexuan just happened to survive.

This seemingly plausible but bizarre situation, coupled with Zhang Lexuan's deep-seated hatred and the influence of the content in "The Phoenix Plays with Two Dragons"...

Zhang Lexuan: From now on, I will no longer be bound. I have never felt so refreshed. I, Zhang Lexuan, will be reborn!

Blood Moon, activate!

Cai Meier was unaware that her "right-hand man" had gradually turned evil, transforming from the Fairy of the Bright Moon into the God of Blood Moon Slaughter. At this point, she was almost completely numb.

The outer academy, with a total of less than two thousand students, has lost more than half of its students. This is practically undermining Shrek Academy's foundation. It's easy to imagine that next year's freshman enrollment rate will reach its lowest point in ten thousand years.

Xianlin'er was on the verge of tears.

Under Mu En's leadership, they were finally able to conduct an exchange program with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to vigorously develop the Soul Guidance Department. However, as a result, 80% of the disciples in the Soul Guidance Department left!

Yes, 80%!

Those who join the Soul Guidance Department after being selected by the Martial Soul Department are generally not geniuses and have no powerful backing. These people cherish their lives very much, and each of them carries the hopes of the entire village, hoping to become a powerful Soul Master and then lead the villagers to success.

As a result, Shrek Academy caused such a mess that it made them as easily frightened as birds startled by the mere twang of a bow.

Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance System?

What rotten fish and shrimp.

I admit that Shrek Academy's spirit system is the best on the continent, but your soul guidance system is really terrible and can't compare to the Sun Moon Empire at all.

Since I'm living in fear here anyway, and I don't get any training or resources, why don't I go to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy?

I heard that the Sun Moon Empire is quite welcoming of us joining them...

So what are you waiting for?

He grabbed a bucket and ran away, disappearing in the blink of an eye!

Xian Lin'er's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, died completely. The prerequisite for the Soul Guidance Department to take off was that the Soul Guidance Department had enough students. Now that all the students had run away, how could she possibly take off?
