Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

A hundred years ago, another unprecedented beast tide occurred. Although this time it was caused by a Super Douluo who went to the dangerous land to hunt a 100,000-year-old soul beast, the Body Sect still spontaneously came to help. This brought the relationship between the Body Sect and Shrek Academy into a very short honeymoon period.

However, shortly after the beast tide ended, for unknown reasons, the then sect leader, Du Bisi, fought a fierce battle with Mu En, the master of the Sea God Pavilion.

As a result, the level 97 genius died, while Dragon God Douluo Mu En, although he was fortunate enough to break through to level 99 through the power of the Dragon Pill and the insights gained from this battle, also suffered from the Dragon Pill's malevolent energy entering his body due to his rash absorption of the Dragon Pill's power.

Ultimately, due to the severe backlash from the poison that caused him to break his spine and the multiple adverse effects of his own mortal poison, he was left with a lifelong disability.

In the time that followed, Xuanzi, the head of Shrek Academy, and Du Busi, who succeeded as the sect leader of the Body Sect, never cooperated again. There were constant frictions, and although he was always the one being rubbed the wrong way, the rigidity of the relationship between the two sides was evident from this.

Now that Yan Shaozhe has rashly proposed to unite with the Body Sect, how could the elders not be surprised and suspicious?

But even Xian Lin'er didn't refute it immediately this time. After a brief moment of surprise, she pondered it carefully and felt that it seemed... to make some sense.

“Elders, Shao Zhe knows that our relationship with the Body Sect is by no means close. However, the Body Sect is both righteous and evil, and what drives their actions can also be interests.”

"The highest-grade full-body martial soul, or even the second awakening of a congenital gold-level body martial soul, I don't know what this means for a body martial soul, but I imagine the ever-dominant Body Sect would never let this opportunity slip by."

Yan Shaozhe's words sounded quite feasible, but the problems were also very obvious, as one senior scholar immediately pointed out:

"Shao Zhe, didn't you say you were going to assassinate him? The Body Sect's involvement is definitely because they're interested in Kong Tianxu's Body Martial Soul. Du Busi won't be willing to work for us for free."

Although he was questioning, he was also seriously analyzing the problems that existed in the specific implementation. Seeing that the elders were clearly interested, Yan Shaozhe was invigorated and finally revealed his complete plan:

“When we discuss things with the Body Sect, we can’t reveal our purpose. We can use other methods to keep those people who can’t be poisoned in check. Since they have the majority, let them launch a strong attack in the open while we go to capture people. This way, we will also shift the firepower to the Body Sect, and the possibility of us being exposed is very low.”

"After capturing the person, we will use the Yimu Divine Pill left by Senior Tian Teng to silently integrate it into his body. In this way, when the Body Sect gets hold of him, the person will naturally be in good condition, but in reality, he will be ruined. When he reaches the critical bottleneck, he will naturally suffer a qi deviation and die."

"Of course, if we're going to do it, we have to be quick. The Body Sect has likely already received the news and is preparing to take action."

If Kong Tianxu heard Yan Shaozhe's plan, he would definitely praise him, saying that they are truly master and disciple, sharing the same lineage.

The senior Tian Teng mentioned by Yan Shaozhe was one of the three ultimate attribute possessors of Shrek Academy, the Ultimate Wood Super Douluo, titled Tian Teng, and a peerless alchemist.

Including the Soul Ascension Pill, several of the most famous top-tier pills in the Soul Master world were made by him, and he generously shared the pill formulas with the public. However, due to the extremely high refining requirements, they did not become widespread.

This Yi Wood Divine Pill, along with another Jia Wood Divine Pill, was considered by him to be the highest achievement of his alchemy career. Both were of the ultimate wood attribute, but one was poison and the other was medicine.

The former can be integrated into the body of living beings, and is not noticeable in normal times, but can turn into a deadly poison at the critical moment of cultivation. Even if the person dies, the only cause that can be found is that they have gone into a demonic state.

Because it was truly against the natural order, Tian Teng Douluo had ordered it to be sealed away before his death. However, those present were all high-ranking members of Shrek Academy, so they naturally all knew about this thing.

After hearing Yan Shaozhe's words, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion present fell silent for a moment. Some were tempted by the plan, while others were dissatisfied with Yan Shaozhe's style of doing things. No one took the lead in expressing their opinion.

Xuanzi was the first to break the silence:

"Let's vote. I can go and contact Poison Old Monster."

“No rush,” Moon said noncommittally, “There’s still one thing we haven’t discussed yet. We can talk about it all at once later.”

"Yes, teacher." Yan Shaozhe bowed again in Mu En's direction.

"The next item on the agenda is about how the academies will respond to their defeat in this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament. This news is spreading very quickly, and it's uncertain whether there are any malicious individuals behind it."

"After all, although our regular team members also encountered problems, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy doesn't even have any substitutes, with a full six reserve team members. In any case, we have to take action, as public opinion is not in our favor."

When Yan Shaozhe finished speaking, his voice was already somewhat hoarse. As the dean, his obsession with Shrek Academy's eternal glory was only deeper than that of Huo Yuhao and the others.

He had barely finished speaking when an old woman in a long, bright red dress let out a cold snort:

"What else can we do? The academy has committed such a disgraceful act. Should we not cover it up and let it become a laughing stock? As for those students, they have not won a single game and have disgraced the academy. We will punish them according to the circumstances."

Yan Shaozhe's expression changed slightly after hearing these words. He was shocked to find that quite a few elders, including Elder Song, nodded in agreement.

Xuanzi could no longer contain himself:

“Hongyun, I have no objection to suppressing this matter, but punishing these kids is absolutely unacceptable. I watched the entire competition live, and the children did their best, it was truly…”

He seemed reluctant to continue, and tremblingly took a swig of wine.

Seeing that Elder Lin also seemed inclined to speak up for Xuanzi, Elder Song preemptively said:

"But they are ultimately the ones primarily responsible for losing this competition, and they lost so badly. If we don't punish them, even the other trainees will be dissatisfied."

She is also a level 97 Super Douluo, whose strength is second only to Mu En and Xuan Zi in Shrek Academy. Even Elder Lin Huiqun, who spoke earlier, is not as good as her, only equal in terms of seniority.

Moreover, in terms of prestige within Shrek Academy, the mature and prudent her was far superior to the unkempt Xuanzi, which is why she could openly contradict Xuanzi.

"Elder Song! Elder Mu, you watched the whole competition from the scene, how can we punish those lovely students?"

Xuanzi became anxious and, without responding to Elder Song's questions, directly sought help from Mu En.

"I understand what you mean."

Moon's voice finally rang out again. Upon hearing his speech, both sides, who had been somewhat heated, immediately calmed down and waited quietly for what he would say next.

"Let's start with the first thing. I'd like to ask you, what were the original goals of Shrek Academy when it was founded?"

Yan Shaozhe replied respectfully, "We cultivate monster-level Soul Masters. Shrek Academy only cultivates monsters, not ordinary people."

Moon looked at him with a gentle yet stern expression:

"Yes, we are an academy for cultivating talent. We were established as the Sea God Pavilion to protect ourselves under the threat of the Body Sect. But Shao Zhe, listen to what you just said?"

He was clearly only looking at Yan Shaozhe, but most of the elders present lowered their heads somewhat embarrassedly, only Lin Huiqun, who was in charge of Jubao Pavilion, and Elder Zhuang of the Healing Department looked completely at ease.

Xuanzi, who always obeyed Mu En, widened his eyes unnaturally, wondering if he was hallucinating.

"We at Shrek Academy are the number one academy in the world, so naturally we must uphold the principles of the number one academy. Shao Zhe, you said that Kong Tianxu has reached the Title Douluo level and no one can suppress him, but isn't our goal to cultivate monsters? Turning the impossible into the possible, I believe our little monster can do it. Let's not mention assassination anymore. Your idea seems good, but it's actually impossible."

"As for the second matter, as I have already said, we have been bound by our millennia-long glory for far too long. This defeat may not be a bad thing, as it allows us to see our shortcomings. We will not cover up this defeat, and of course, we should not punish the children. Instead, we should increase our efforts in their training. We should also implement the arrangements related to soul tools as soon as possible."

Moon's authority in the Sea God Pavilion was absolute, and his decisions naturally had a decisive effect. Whether the elders understood or not, they had no choice but to carry them out.

Soon, only Mu En and Xuan Zi remained in the meeting room.

Moon remained lying on the recliner, dappled sunlight casting its glow. His eyes, bathed in the golden afterglow, remained kind, but his gaunt, still-stunned figure in the dim light was almost terrifying.

Xuanzi suddenly realized that his most respected uncle had become somewhat unfamiliar to him.

“Xuanzi, I know you have many doubts, but I can only say that Kong Tianxu definitely cannot be killed. As for what I said at the Sea God Pavilion meeting today, you will be sitting in my position in the future. As the Sea God Pavilion Master, the spirit we convey to all Shrek people, and even other elders of the Sea God Pavilion, must be righteous. Those dark methods can only be borne by ourselves. Do you understand?”

"I'm sorry, Elder Mu, I was foolish." Xuanzi was filled with shame. How could he have doubted Elder Mu? But doubts still lingered in his heart: "But once Kong Tianxu reaches the Title Douluo realm, no one will be able to control him. At that time, even the academy might..."

"I have my own way."

Moon looked toward the side of his recliner. In the depths of the completely dark conference room, Ma Xiaotao lay quietly on a large, smooth, white bed.

Her sleeping face was still so peaceful, but her originally rosy lips were now purplish-black, with a hint of evil, and a layer of black mist would occasionally flash across her face.

A layer of golden light enveloped the large bed, and a strange black flame flickered faintly on her body. Although each flicker was suppressed by the golden light, the black flame was extremely tenacious and never diminished.

"Xiao Tao, is this the ultimate fire? No, this is the ultimate black fire! If you add Yu Hao's ultimate ice... Oh, right, right, I understand what you mean, Elder Mu!"

Xuanzi's eyes lit up.

Moon didn't answer him, but looked out the window instead.

The setting sun casts a beautiful glow, yet the golden tree remains lush and verdant.

I just wonder how long this peace will last?

……

"Kong Tianxu? You are Kong Tianxu! The one who led the Sun Moon Empire's reserve team to defeat Shrek Academy twice as the main force, and finally won the Supreme Dragon Kong Tianxu in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament?"

Nan Shuishui stood up in disbelief and exclaimed in shock. The red marks left by the thin silver chain between the cuffs of her ill-fitting clothes were still so clear.

It was still the same "reception room," but the large bed covered with red and white rose petals had been removed, and the aura that had a strong stimulating effect on certain aspects of life had also disappeared. Only the elegant square table remained, with Kong Tianxu and Nan Shuishui sitting opposite each other at either end.

“The goods are genuine. However, Master Nan, you have lost your composure again.”

Kong Tianxu pointed, indicating her violent movements that were about to tear her clothes off her chest.

His expression was indifferent, as if the extremely erotic scene just now had not stirred any ripples in his heart. However, judging from the timid and curious look on Xue Di's face behind him, and Cain's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot but faintly flushed, one could imagine that the scene had a significant impact on these young men and women who had not yet experienced such things.

Nan Shuishui quickly shrank back, those incredibly shameful memories resurfacing—

"What a handsome young man, I didn't lose out at all..."

These were the words she uttered when she first woke up.

"Master Nan, wipe it clean."

This was when Kong Tianxu flashed a green light in his hand, severing the thin silver chain that even her eight-ring annihilation power couldn't destroy, and then threw a clean towel over.

She actually took that despicable pose willingly! She even... she actually...

However, this might also be an opportunity.

Nan Shuishui recalled the wondrous sight she had witnessed through the sect's secret techniques, forcing herself to calm down from her limp state. She then lifted Nan Qiuqiu, whose face was flushed and who hadn't uttered a single word, and said:

"Fine, whether you're the Holy Emperor or Kong Tianxu, since you've seen Qiuqiu naked, you can't shirk responsibility. How about this? I won't ask for compensation for that secret realm. Qiuqiu is my heir, so if you marry her, I'll give you the entire Earth Dragon Gate as your dowry!"

Nan Qiuqiu looked surprised, then blushed even more as she glanced at Kong Tianxu, stammering, "Mom, I'm not..."

Nan Shuishui glared at her, and she didn't dare to say anything more.

Cain's face darkened further. Xue Di didn't seem to fully understand what Nan Shui Shui meant, but her eyes lit up when she heard a few key words.

Kong Tianxu put down the crystal glass containing the purplish-red wine that he was swirling in his hand, seemingly amused, and got up to walk directly towards the door:

"Nan Shui Shui, you think too highly of yourself and the Earth Dragon Gate. Do you really think you have the right to talk to me? Your daughter is at most a bed warmer for me."

"What does the Holy Emperor mean by that?"

Nan Shui Shui suppressed her anger. Although she knew that her family's Earth Dragon Sect and the Holy Spirit Sect were worlds apart, she felt that the other party's words were far too arrogant, especially since she and her daughter had already suffered a lot of grievances.

"I know you have amazing talent and a huge power behind you, but our Earth Dragon Sect is also a formidable force. If it weren't for the fear of being accused of bullying the weak, I would definitely let you know the power of the Earth Dragon lineage's annihilation!"

"Whether you are now or in the Fifth Ring, the outcome of fighting me will be no different."

Kong Tianxu was too lazy to talk to this big-breasted, brainless woman, and waved his hand, saying:

"see a visitor out."

Just as Xue Di was about to make a move, Nan Shui Shui, furious but laughing, took Nan Qiu Qiu and walked straight towards another door:

"You, a Soul King, think you can defeat me, a Soul Douluo? If you can, forget about the Earth Dragon Gate, even Qiuqiu and I will acknowledge you as our master."

Kong Tianxu suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"The matter of the Earth Dragon Gate... you mentioned it yourself."

When he turned around again, a silver light had already shone from between his eyebrows.
