Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 387 Tang San's Stinginess Leads to a Major Mistake

With a sense of doubt, Xuanzi quietly left the Golden Tree without alerting anyone.

It was extremely difficult for a level 98 old man to deliberately hide himself, especially since at this time, Elder Song, who had also reached level 98, was still in seclusion trying to break through to the limit level and had not paid any attention to Xuanzi. This made him even more unscrupulous.

In truth, this is all Tang San's fault.

We've already given it, what's wrong with giving more?

Even if Song Lao were given more energy that could directly break through his limits, it would be nothing compared to the size of the Golden Tree and the sacrifices made by the successive Sea God Pavilion Masters.

Even as they were dying, Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui's soul power was enough to propel Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong from around level 95 to the peak of level 98, and even helped them develop the rudiments of their third soul core.

How much energy would it take for your Golden Tree of Life, a source of life, to help a level 97 Elder Song break through his limits, especially since it's just an ordinary dual-soul core with the same resonance?

This meant that Elder Song was still accumulating soul power, trying to break through to the Limit Douluo level, and had no time to pay attention to the outside world.

Xuanzi strolled around the entire Shrek Academy in such a swaggering manner.

What puzzled Xuanzi was that Shrek Academy suddenly became much quieter, no, not just much quieter, it was as if it had fallen into disrepair. The number of teachers and students at Shrek Academy had decreased by 60% to 70%.

This is because Shrek's reputation has improved recently, and many teachers and students have returned to Shrek.

During the period when the "Phoenix Playing with Two Dragons" and "Like-minded People" craze was prevalent, Shrek Academy's situation would have been even more dire. By now, things are considered relatively good.

This still left Xuanzi puzzled.

When he was imprisoned, the Supreme Elder's Secret Manual hadn't been released yet. After the Death Messenger incident, he was directly locked in a dark room by Mu En. Lin Yun only released the Supreme Elder's Secret Manual after the competition ended.

Before Xuanzi started using the sewing machine, Shrek Academy was thriving.

Xuanzi was increasingly alarmed by Shrek Academy's current state, and he couldn't find any trace of Mu En at the academy. Where could Mu En, who was already nearing the end of his life, have gone?

To resolve his doubts, Xuanzi left Shrek Academy and went directly to Shrek City.

Not only Shrek Academy, but the entire Shrek City presents a desolate and deserted scene. The once prosperous Shrek City now has few vendors and pedestrians even on its most bustling streets.

Many houses are now empty, and clutter and garbage are carelessly discarded in the streets and alleys.

The once well-dressed, high-paying taxpayers of Shrek City have turned into beggars and homeless people rummaging through the garbage in the streets and alleys. The empty houses have been mostly occupied by beggars and homeless people.

"What... what's going on?" Xuanzi was stunned and couldn't help but rub his dim old eyes. He thought he was hallucinating because he had been locked up in the Golden Tree for too long.

But when he opened his eyes again, the scenery before him remained unchanged.

Xuanzi was dumbfounded.

He flashed to the side of a beggar rummaging through the trash at his feet, grabbed him by the collar, and carried him to the rooftop.

"Why has Shrek City become like this? What happened to all those people? What exactly happened?" After arriving on the roof, Xuanzi disgustedly threw the dirty beggar to the ground and then bombarded him with a series of questions.

He never imagined that after being imprisoned in the Golden Tree for five or six years, his appearance was not much different from that of a beggar.

The beggar scrambled to his feet, bewildered, and looked at Xuanzi with a puzzled expression. That one glance sent a chill down his spine.

"The...the Supreme Elder!" The beggar's eyes widened, his face filled with terror as he pointed at Xuanzi. "?"

What is this Gouba Grand Elder?

Xuanzi was even more confused. His status in the Sea God Pavilion was indeed not low. He was the strongest person in the Sea God Pavilion besides Mu En, and he did have the status of the First Elder. But this had nothing to do with the Supreme Elder.

Immediately afterwards, Xuanzi saw the beggar and shakily pulled a book out of his pocket.

The Secret Transmission of the Supreme Elder...

How many of the people who come to Shrek Academy now haven't read the Shrek Chronicles created by Lin Yun? Out of a hundred people, even one who hasn't read them would be considered a lot.

This is all thanks to the power of the Demon King. Printing these books is easier than drinking water. He can produce a huge number of them with a wave of his hand. The popularity of Shrek Chronicles is even higher than that of Tang San's ridiculous "Legend of the Sea God," which he made up to boast about his own righteousness, greatness, purity, and innocence.

Especially these beggars and homeless people who scavenge for scraps to make ends meet at Shrek Academy.

No one is more important than knowing the main characters in Shrek Chronicles!

And coincidentally, the homeless man in front of Xuanzi had this book. Since they didn't have much money, they bought these books together and took turns reading them each day. Today it just so happened to be his turn.

And then, just today, he happened to run into Xuanzi...

Hmm, that's quite a coincidence.

Xuanzi looked at the illustration of himself on the cover of the book "The Secret Biography of the Supreme Elder" and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. The illustration showed him with an arrogant and overbearing smile, standing on many corpses wearing Shrek school uniforms.

No, huh?

Xuanzi snatched the book and began reading at lightning speed, his eyes red. The more he read, the more his hands trembled, his eyes bloodshot and his breath coming in ragged gasps.

The Tang family of Douluo Continent has committed a comprehensive crime (confirmed).

After finishing reading the entire "Secret Biography of the Supreme Elder," Xuanzi's temperature had skyrocketed. He suddenly grabbed the beggar by the neck and asked, word by word, "How many of these books are left?"

Xuanzi's original intention was to ask how widely this "Secret Transmission of the Supreme Elder" was circulated, but the beggar was so frightened that he collapsed.

As expected of the Supreme Elder!

That murderous aura, that terrifying gaze and expression, is even more frightening than the Supreme Elder in the book!

Terrified, the beggar, in a daze, led Xuanzi to find the other beggars in their area, and so...

"Dragon and Phoenix Entwined", "Dragon and Phoenix in Harmony", "The Sinful Teacher", "The Secret Transmission of the Supreme Elder", "Phoenix Playing with Two Dragons", and "Fellow Pathsmen" were all placed before Xuanzi.

Alright, alright, this wave of unofficial historical accounts has finally hit Xuanzi's head.

The last person involved eventually came into contact with these books.

Xuanzi ignored the beggars and flipped through the books one by one. Apart from the first three books about Yan Shaozhe and Zhou Yi, which he had already read, he had not read the last three.

The more I looked at it, the higher my blood pressure soared.
