Even as the dean of the Martial Soul Department, a cunning old fox, he was thrown into disarray by Lu Cheng's series of attacks.
After all, who would have thought that this young man would choose to self-destruct in the finals without any preparation?
What's even more difficult is that everything Lu Cheng said was true.
He couldn't refute it.
Xuanzi killed more than a dozen people back then. Just look at the expressions on Xu Jiawei and the others' faces now, and you'll know that they've made their connection. Not to mention, there's Zhang Lexuan, one of the only four survivors from back then, who is also a witness.
It's practically a dead end.
Lu Cheng sighed softly and launched his final offensive.
"Dean Yan demanded that we, the reserve team disciples, win the championship in this competition. If we fail to win the championship, no matter how well we performed in the previous matches, it will be all for naught. On the contrary, Bei Bei, as the great-grandson of Elder Mu, is able to inherit the position of the Sea God Pavilion Master, while Xuan Zi, who should have borne the main responsibility in the Mingdou Mountains, has simply wiped his butt and left, leaving us innocent people to take the blame."
Lu Cheng's tone was somewhat wistful.
"Shrek Academy really doesn't treat its disciples like human beings..."
"..."
At this moment, Yan Shaozhe completely exploded.
He finally realized that he shouldn't have given this guy a chance to speak. From the very first sentence he uttered, he should have unleashed his full power to stop him. But he didn't expect Lu Cheng to be so ruthless, with every move aimed at Shrek Academy's vitals. However, as long as he killed Lu Cheng now, he could stop the damage in time and sincerely apologize to all the forces.
This would at least minimize the losses to Shrek Academy.
After all, Shrek Academy has a long-standing foundation. Even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse. As long as the situation is stabilized and the teacher intervenes, it won't have too much of an impact.
Suddenly standing up, a huge phantom of a radiant phoenix rushed straight towards Lu Cheng's body, its killing intent obvious and clearly having been brewing for a long time.
"Click".
Caught off guard, Huang Jinxu only had time to release his martial spirit to defend himself, but in an instant, the phoenix tore him apart and swept past his body, crashing down towards Lu Cheng.
"Hahahahaha..."
"As expected of Shrek Academy, as petty as ever, both the young and the old. What's wrong with my sect's Holy Son saying a few words to you? You're getting all worked up?"
A deep, resonant voice rang out.
Poison Immortal's broad and imposing figure appeared before Lu Cheng, along with numerous figures in black robes.
A powerful aura instantly spread throughout the entire arena.
Even Huang Jinxu's pupils suddenly contracted, and his expression changed.
"The Body Sect... they really have arrived!" Xu Jiawei narrowed his eyes, waved his hand, and a sinister smile appeared on his lips: "Ignore them. I want to see how Yan Shaozhe will have the face to stand on the continent after today! And that beast Xuanzi, I will never forget the grudge against my sister."
Many powerful figures from the Body Sect appeared one by one, about twenty in total. Almost all of them were Title Douluo level experts, and the weakest were at the peak of Soul Douluo level. Lang Ya blinked at Lu Cheng and revealed a smile.
Now it's clear that this Holy Son of the Body Sect is serious and has completely offended Shrek Academy.
This is my true brother, Langya!
After informing the sect leader that the young man was a second awakening of the Gold Rank, the entire sect was alarmed. After repeatedly confirming his information, Du Busi did not hesitate at all and brought almost the entire sect's power to ensure that nothing went wrong.
The leader slowly raised his palm, and the enormous phoenix phantom seemed to be gripped by a giant hand, struggling in vain.
Poison-ineffective scratches its ear, applying slight pressure with its palm.
The phoenix of light was instantly crushed, and Yan Shaozhe also coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face filled with terror.
"Noumenon Sect?!!"
Poison Immortal ignored Yan Shaozhe and instead looked at Lu Cheng, his face beaming with a smile like a blooming flower. He patted the latter's arm and said gently, "Child, don't worry. From now on, you are a member of my Body Sect. If anyone dares to bully you again, I will beat them up for you!"
"Look closely, this is our future Holy Son!" he shouted.
Many powerful figures from the Body Sect around him also wore smiles, repeatedly calling him "Holy Son".
Lu Cheng smiled.
As relieved.
I've finally found my people...
He was no longer a rootless duckweed, drifting aimlessly and being bullied by everyone.
Although I had expected it, I was still quite moved to see this scene.
If the poison doesn't kill this old guy, it's as if he has the words "benevolence and righteousness" engraved on his forehead. As long as he is a martial soul master, he will be treated as a bloodline descendant.
"Damn it..." Yan Shaozhe spat out a mouthful of blood, his face contorted with rage. His heart was churning like a raging river. He should have killed this little beast before the finals, but alas, alas...
too late.
The die is cast. Now that Lu Cheng has left with the Body Sect, let alone killing him, even touching a hair on his head would be enough for the Body Sect to wage a full-scale war against Shrek Academy.
All his previous schemes have come to naught.
Even if you make things difficult for him again when he returns to Shrek Academy... he still has to go back to Shrek Academy.
This little bastard never intended to return to the academy; he came to the competition with the sole purpose of escaping!
wrong!
Zhang Lexuan...
Yan Shaozhe's pupils dilated in shock. He abruptly raised his head to look at Zhang Lexuan beside Lu Cheng. The latter looked down at him indifferently, her position clearly indicating her feelings.
She also chose to stand on the side of the Body Sect.
"Zhang Lexuan!!!"
Yan Shaozhe said with grief and indignation.
This is the senior disciple of Shrek Academy's inner court, on whom Mu En placed high hopes, to suppress the Sea God Pavilion's pillar of stability for Bei Bei. Her monstrous talent and prestige would be a double blow if she were to leave Shrek Academy as well.
After all, apart from Ma Xiaotao, there is no other "successor" in the inner courtyard who can compare with her.
"Do you think you've lived up to the hard work Shrek Academy put into nurturing you? Do you think you've lived up to Elder Mu? He did so much for you..." Yan Shaozhe began to appeal to people's emotions with earnest words.
But Zhang Lexuan abruptly interrupted him.
"Heh, you killed my whole family just to steal a seedling, Yan Shaozhe, you dare to talk about cultivation?" Zhang Lexuan stared coldly at Yan Shaozhe and called him by his name.
"When Moon killed my entire family, did he ever imagine this day would come?"
"..."
Yan Shaozhe's pupils dilated, and his heart began to pound violently.
it's over...
Everything is over.
Chapter 138 Yan Shaozhe: What do you mean you're leaving too? (Part 2)
What he had worried about for decades had finally happened.
When his teacher colluded with Long Xiaoyao to wipe out the Zhang family and then forced Zhang Lexuan to "accidentally" come to Shrek Academy and become a respectable young lady without any "burdens," he felt that this matter was not safe. After all, if it were exposed, no one could bear the serious consequences.
But the teacher calmly said that at that time, he would be the only sinner in the entire Shrek Academy. As long as he passed away, and the other elders of the Sea God Pavilion were unaware of the situation, coupled with the many entanglements (Bei Bei), given Zhang Lexuan's personality, even if she was furious, she would only blame everything on the teacher.
With the teacher gone, the past is wiped clean.
Zhang Lexuan will keep this matter to herself and continue to support Shrek Academy, without blaming the other innocent disciples and teachers.
He was amazed and thought his teacher had foreseen everything.
But until today, with the appearance of Lu Cheng, everything has not gone in the direction agreed upon. Instead, it has gone in the opposite direction. Zhang Lexuan's discovery of the secrets of that year also means that the teacher's plan back then has come to nothing. It has even produced a girl with a full buff, unprecedented hatred and monstrous talent for Shrek Academy.
Now it makes sense why Zhang Lexuan acted so negatively towards Beibei a few days ago, while becoming quite close to Lu Cheng.
Yan Shaozhe's throat bobbed as he forced a smile, suppressing his inner fear. "Le Xuan, is there some misunderstanding... How could your teacher do such a thing?"
"Elder Mu's reputation is evident to all across the continent. You grew up at Shrek Academy and have a deep bond with us. Don't be misled by some villains. Let's go back to the academy and report this to our teacher. He will surely give you a reasonable explanation."
Yan Shaozhe's expression was sincere, as if Zhang Lexuan had been bewitched by Lu Cheng beside her, while he was a kind and gentle elder who had been wronged and misunderstood, looking at his ignorant junior who had made a mistake.
If someone were unaware of the situation, they might actually be fooled by Yan Shaozhe's expression.
But Zhang Lexuan had experienced those two calamities in a completely unforgettable way. The truth and evidence she had investigated over the years were almost perfect. She only looked at Yan Shaozhe indifferently, her red lips curled up at the corner, and her light blue eyes were full of mockery.
"Shrek Academy is a den of snakes and rats, they are all disgusting."
"Now that things have come to this, Yan Shaozhe, you still want to establish the reputation of a highly respected teacher? Heh, you want to be a prostitute and still have a memorial archway? I'm not the little girl you used to deceive. Do you know what I was doing when I went to the Sun Moon Empire on a mission two years ago?"
Zhang Lexuan smiled dismissively and said, "Investigate the truth of what happened back then."
As she spoke, she slowly opened her palm, and several strangely patterned dark red tokens appeared in mid-air. A hint of hatred gradually welled up in her eyes: "Guess what this is..."
This is a holy decree above the level of the Holy Spirit Altar Master.
These are items that are usually kept close to the body.
Because of his interactions with Elder Mu and the former Elder Long over the years, he had learned some things about the Holy Spirit Cult, which is why he recognized these things at a glance.
Considering that the Holy Spirit Cult was behind the massacre of her entire family years ago, Zhang Lexuan's meaning is quite clear.
"..."
Yan Shaozhe's expression darkened, but he still feigned a blank look: "What is this?"
"This is the organization that wiped out my family back then, the Holy Spirit Cult, Yan Shaozhe... Now that things have come to this, do you think I still have any chance of reconciling with Shrek Academy?" Zhang Lexuan stood beside Lu Cheng, her beautiful face carrying a hint of emotion and coldness.
"Perhaps there really is some misunderstanding..."
Yan Shaozhe lost all confidence and said somewhat guiltily.
"Heh heh, the blood feud of murdering my relatives is an irreconcilable enmity! Yan Shaozhe, Xuanzi, and that old dog, wait for me to personally take their heads!" Zhang Lexuan coldly interrupted, giving the latter no chance to argue.
"..."
Yan Shaozhe's face stiffened, and he lowered his head, a hint of killing intent rising in his heart. But before he could react, a huge fist slammed down on his face.
Yan Shaozhe's body was suddenly thrown up and flew backward, falling several times before finally landing in an open area around the arena.
He struggled to his feet, his hands trembling as he wiped his face. Half of his face was swollen, and several of his teeth had been smashed to pieces by the punch.
His former dignity as the dean of the Martial Soul Department was also shattered and scattered all over the place.
"Poison Undying, do you want to start a war with Shrek Academy?!" Yan Shaozhe covered his face and roared at the sudden figure.
His pupils flickered with apprehension and gloom.
