As everyone knows, the Sun and Moon Royal Academy and Shrek Academy are mortal enemies, so Meng Hongchen's words made perfect sense.
What left everyone speechless was how directly Meng Hongchen had spoken!
Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and others twitched their eyes. Just because they are mortal enemies, does that justify provoking the other side?
Mortal enemies… well, it does allow for provocation. If the rules permitted, killing the other side wouldn't be a problem either.
"What a sharp-tongued little girl. Our Shrek Academy has sacrificed lives to eliminate evil soul masters for the peace of the Douluo Continent. Yet, what you're doing is no different from the actions of a petty person," Xuan Zi snorted and spoke.
His words weren't without reason. As for where the evil soul masters came from, that was beside the point!
If it wasn't for Tang San to destroy the City of Slaughter and the Spirit Hall, the evil soul masters would never have risen to such prominence, let alone reached the level of a 99th-level Title Douluo.
The Spirit Hall would have nipped evil in the bud!
Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen rolled her eyes and said, "All factions have eliminated evil soul masters. It's not the sole achievement of your Shrek Academy!"
"I've heard that you only exhausted a Spirit King-level evil soul master, yet five reserve team members lost their lives, and the main team members were either injured or dead…"
"Tsk, tsk, and you're still claiming to have eliminated evil soul masters?" Meng Hongchen sneezed, her tone was so mocking that Xuan Zi and the others clenched their fists in anger.
She had hit a sore spot!
This was one of the greatest pains in Xuan Zi's life!
Yes, just one of many.
"A mere Spirit King-level evil soul master? I could kill him without sustaining a single injury. You all, however… heh." Her fists tightened.
This white-haired girl was truly detestable. She was blatantly implying that everyone in Shrek Academy, students and teachers, were worthless.
Xuan Zi was furious, glaring at Meng Hongchen. The next moment, the aura of a Super Douluo erupted, pressing down on her.
As Xuan Zi's aura flared, several figures instantly appeared in front of Meng Hongchen.
These individuals include the Star Luo Empire's Guardian Douluo and a ninth-level soul master from the Sun and Moon Empire.
"Taotie Douluo, she's just a child. You're over two hundred years old. How can you be arguing with a child?" The newcomers were numerous, and they all sized up Xuan Zi.
Before Xuan Zi could speak, everyone frowned.
Xuan Zi was a veteran from over two hundred years ago, a 98th-level Super Douluo. Yet, his current aura only reached the 96th level. Could it be that he wasn't unleashing his full power?
No, that couldn't be. Xuan Zi's temperament was well-known. He wouldn't hold back when enraged.
There were rumors that Xuan Zi had died once, killed by the Martial God, and then resurrected by the Sea God, Tang San. Could it be that after his resurrection, his strength had dropped to the 96th level?
Thinking this, everyone commented at Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier, their eyes narrowing slightly.
If their guess was correct, these two had also seen significant drops in their strength.
The gap between each level of a Soul Douluo was immense, especially after the 95th level. The difference between the 98th and 96th levels was like heaven and earth!
A 98th-level Super Douluo could easily handle four or five 96th-level Super Douluo, it was child's play unless the opponents had some "cheats."
"Elder Xuan…" Cai Meier transmitted a message to Xuan Zi. Although she didn't say much, her voice pulled Xuan Zi back from the edge of fury.
The current Shrek Academy is not the same as it once was. They couldn't afford to make more enemies!
"Hmph," Xuan Zi touched around and snorted, retracting his aura and spirit. "Who said I was going to act against this little girl? At my age, how could I possibly argue with a child? I'm a soul master. Can't I release my aura or stretch my muscles? You young people have no respect for your elders!"
His words left the entire area in silence.
They'd seen shameless people before, but never one as shameless as this!
If you weren't provoked by Meng Hongchen's words, why bother explaining?
Explaining is just covering up, and covering up is just making up stories.
No respect for elders? That depends on the elder. Is Xuan Zi worthy of respect?
The Star Luo Empire's Guardian Douluo remained silent and then disappeared. They had to maintain order, so they had to appear.
As for the ninth-level soul masters from the Sun and Moon Empire, he had appeared to protect Meng Hongchen, the granddaughter of the Hall Master Jing Hongchen.
Seeing that Xuan Zi had no intention of acting, the ninth-level soul masters exchanged glances and then disappeared.
Xuan Zi's strength had indeed dropped. Once Mu En, that old man, died, Shrek Academy would no longer be a threat.
The day of crushing Shrek Academy was near!
"Xiao, Meng, what are you doing here?" A voice filled with masculine energy rang out, and a group of people arrived in front of the crowd.
There was no need for Meng Hongchen and Xiao to explain. The newcomers updated at the Shrek Academy group and the Sun and Moon Royal Academy group, instantly understanding.
The feud between Shrek Academy and the Sun and Moon Royal Academy was well-known to any academy student.
"Bei Bei, Xiao Ya, you've come at the right time! I just teased this old man a bit, and he was about to attack me," Meng Hongchen pointed at Xuan Zi and continued, "After being suppressed for so long, it's rare to encounter a disheartened opponent. Can't we say a few words?"
Bei Bei and the others were speechless.
Of course, they could say a few words and tease a bit. But doing it right in front of the person was like slapping their face.
If you're already slapping their face, isn't it natural for them to want to act when they can't argue back?
"Uh… I won't comment on this," Bei Bei stripped, his eyes glancing at Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and the others.
These people were part of his childhood memories. It wasn't that he didn't feel sad, but their paths were different.
"What's there to comment on?" A voice that surprised everyone appeared. She had silver hair, a petite figure, and looked only six or seven years old.
"Tang San was a hypocrite. How many lives did he take to become a god? Shrek Academy carries Tang San's legacy, so it's a gathering place for hypocrites. It's not surprising that they'd do such disgusting things," Gu Yuena said seriously, although her small figure stood out in the crowd.
Her words made everyone nod. Although young, she understood such principles. She was truly a prodigy!
"You… you little brat, you've angered me to death!" Xuan Zi pounded his chest but dared not act against Gu Yuena.
She was part of the Liyue team, and any child from the team was under the protection of the Martial God.
