Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 395 The History Enthusiast Stands at Attention

Let's see who this chosen one is who survived a level 9 nuclear explosion!

the answer is……

Yan Shaozhe!

This is where the benefits of not joining the crowd become apparent.

Look at those elders who were clearly injured, yet kept sticking their heads out to watch Xuanzi and Song Yunzhi fight; now they've all been blown to smithereens.

Look at Yan Shaozhe, who was diligently working on the sewing machine. He was completely unharmed after a level nine nuclear explosion. However, due to the long period of labor reform, he became somewhat unkempt and slovenly, no longer the dignified figure he once was.

As for how Yan Shaozhe managed to emerge unscathed...

Please watch the video.

When the explosion occurred, Yan Shaozhe was the only Shrek student who remained inside the Golden Tree. This meant that even though neither the Golden Tree nor Ah Yin had any intention of protecting him, Yan Shaozhe was essentially hitchhiking thanks to Ah Yin's defense.

However, even if he were to face the explosion of a level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell, he wouldn't actually die.

The Martial Soul of the Bright Phoenix possesses the ability of Nirvana, an ability that has been demonstrated in both Yan Shaozhe and Ye Xishui.

It's quite difficult to kill him.

However, by not joining the fray, he ultimately saved himself a lot of trouble. He simply sat still and someone intercepted the explosion of the level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell.

Now, the only surviving Title Douluo in the entire Shrek Academy is none other than this Mingfeng Douluo.

This is really a bit difficult to understand.

Moreover, although Yan Shaozhe is rebellious at times, he is also like a machine in certain situations, doing whatever he is told. If the commotion this time hadn't been so great that even he, who was working at the bottom of the Golden Tree, felt it, he wouldn't have come out and would have chosen to stay in prison.

The cultivation environment at the bottom of the Golden Tree is quite good, especially for him, a Soul Master with the Light attribute.

After serving five or six years in prison, with the help of the Golden Tree, Yan Shaozhe, who had calmed down, was now close to breaking through level ninety-seven.

Uh, could this be the reason he's willing to obediently go to jail?

It's hard to say, but the possibility is quite high.

"Dean Yan?" Huo Yuhao looked at Yan Shaozhe in surprise. He still had a deep impression of this dean of Shrek Academy. Even though Yan Shaozhe looked a bit unkempt now, Huo Yuhao still recognized him quickly.

"What exactly happened?" Yan Shaozhe looked at the devastation all around him, his already dazed eyes now filled with even more despair.

Apart from the Golden Tree, everything on Poseidon Island has been reduced to ashes. Even the original island is now just the area where the Golden Tree roots have taken hold. The rest of the island, extending all the way to the outer courtyard, has become a large circular pit.

Around the pit, semi-solidified lava still flows, and not a single large rock can be seen.

All the buildings and city walls are gone. Yan Shaozhe can even see Shrek City in the distance from the small mound where the golden tree was rooted.

This was simply impossible before.

Of course, Shrek City isn't in much better shape right now. Although the explosion of the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon didn't cover Shrek City, the powerful shockwave did destroy quite a few buildings. It's not a major problem.

Anyway, nobody lives here anymore.

Yan Shaozhe was completely stunned by the sudden transformation of the once bustling Shrek Academy and Shrek City into this state.

Where did that kick come from?

Is this still Shrek?

Yan Shaozhe said that the sky had fallen when he was released from prison. From his mentor Mu En and wife Cai Meier to his disciple Ma Xiaotao and the teachers and students of Shrek Academy, he was gone.

Good heavens, the young man from prison immediately stood at attention.

In response, Huo Yuhao could only bitterly admit that Shrek Academy had been attacked by a level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon.

"Sun Moon Empire!!!" The roar echoed across the ruins, and Yan Shaozhe immediately turned red. He completely forgot about the useless lychee.

The academy was destroyed, my family perished, and I, an old man, am left to eke out a living. The actions of the Sun Moon Empire are too outrageous, and I am filled with rage. Add me for 50, and hear my revenge plan. — Yan Shaozhe

Unlike Xuanzi, who sneaked out beforehand to find out the truth that they had been betrayed by the Sea God Pavilion, Yan Shaozhe always considered himself a Shrek member.

Given his profound knowledge of history, in a fit of rage, his first thought would undoubtedly be to go directly to Mingdu and destroy the Sun and Moon Empire.

However, Huo Yuhao stopped him.

Although Huo Yuhao was equally furious at the destruction of Shrek Academy, he was not completely blinded by anger. While Yan Shaozhe, a titled Douluo, could cause some trouble for the Sun Moon Empire, his personal strength was still too insignificant compared to the size of the Sun Moon Empire.

At this time, they should lie low and secretly look for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the Sun Moon Empire!

"No matter what, the Golden Tree cannot be lost. It is the academy's last treasure, and all of the academy's books are kept in the Sea God Pavilion. I need to stay and protect this place!" Yan Shaozhe turned around and looked at the Golden Tree, which had dimmed considerably.

He was persuaded and decided not to go to the Sun Moon Empire to his death.

When they're in a rush, they're prone to impulsive actions, but if someone persuades them to calm down, they quickly regain their clear thinking.

If they can't persuade him to change his mind, that's another story.

Since he didn't want to die, and considering the Golden Tree as Shrek Academy's last hope for a comeback, Yan Shaozhe naturally decided to stay and protect (occupy) the Golden Tree immediately.

"Although I don't know why the Golden Tree protected you, it proves that the Golden Tree approves of you." Yan Shaozhe looked at Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong and said solemnly, "I don't ask you to spend the rest of your lives rebuilding Shrek Academy like I have."

"But I hope you can do your part in rebuilding Shrek."

"Don't worry, Dean Yan, no matter what, Wu Tong and I are also members of Shrek Academy." Huo Yuhao said earnestly to Yan Shaozhe, "We will definitely do our best for the reconstruction of the academy."

Tang Wutong didn't speak, but she stepped forward and stood next to Huo Yuhao, reaching out to shake his hand. This simple gesture showed her determination.

"With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?" Huo Yuhao's eyes softened.

"Ugh, we're not married yet!" Tang Wutong rolled her eyes, her blushing face revealing the shyness of youth.

Even in such a somber setting, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but sigh upon seeing what was happening before him.

"It's so good to be young."
