Chapter 47: Xuan Zi's Disposal

Xuan Zi flew very fast and brought Yao Haoxuan back to Shrek Academy in just half a day.

After handing him over to the healing soul master in the inner courtyard, Yao Haoxuan's injuries and condition quickly stabilized.

Although the casualties this time are not as serious as in the original book, Xuanzi will still criticize him severely next. After all, this is not the first time he has made such a mistake.

Shrek Academy, Poseidon Pavilion.

There were only two people in the huge conference room at this time. The sun was setting in the west, and the dim sunlight poured in through the windows, covering most of the conference room.

Xuan Zi looked at the old man who was leaning on the recliner, looking haggard, as if he would die at any moment, with his eyes closed as if he was dozing. He lowered his head and remained silent, or maybe he really didn't know what he should say at this moment.

Is it self-confession? Talking about one's own faults?
Or just give up and lie down? Act like a no-brainer?
He knew that no matter what he did, it would be of no use to the old man in front of him, the old man named Moon, his junior uncle and the master of the Sea God Pavilion.

What Xuan Zi thinks and does will only affect the younger generations who are in awe of him, or the elders who are impressed by his powerful strength.

At this time, the wine gourd that Xuanzi usually held in his hand was hanging around his waist, and his big hands, which had always been greasy, were rarely clean at this time.

Even the messy hair and greasy and tattered clothes were tidied up.

Xuan Zi, who had always relied on his own Super Douluo strength to be unruly and arrogant, now made such a gesture in front of Moon En.

Xuan Zi didn't say anything, and Moon En was also silent for a long time. The two of them faced each other, Xuan Zi standing and Moon En lying, and there was silence between them for a long time.

Finally, the old man on the recliner sighed quietly, and said helplessly in his old voice: "Xuan Zi, Xuan Zi, what do you want me to say about you?"

"On the eve of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, you did me another good thing. The regular team member Dai Yuheng died and Yao Haoxuan was seriously injured. You are really good at asking questions. You really gave me a difficult problem."

Hearing this, Xuan Zi opened and closed his lips, wanting to say something, but the words were stuck in his throat.

"I am well aware of the flaws in your martial spirit. As the Taotie Divine Bull, you have the blood of the legendary dragon's ninth son, the Taotie. Because of the influence of your martial spirit, the desire deep in your blood will make you need to eat all the time."

"But eating is only the influence of your martial soul on you. Even if you don't eat, it won't cause your body to become weak, or your soul power to decline. At most, you will just feel listless."

"Xuan Zi, don't you know why I have been asking you to personally train the students who represent the academy and participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition for the past fifty years?"

"This is because I want you, and I need you to learn something from these children. How much of what you teach these children have you actually implemented yourself?"

"Ever since the incident with Le Xuan, you have even become lazy in teaching and caring for the regular team members. What do you want to do?"

"Are you saying that you are not up to the responsibility? Or are you dissatisfied with me, the Pavilion Master who hopes you can contribute to Shrek Academy, and with me, the Junior Senior Master who asked you to change your character?"

"When you and I reach our level of strength, whether it's the martial soul or the bloodline, the influence on the soul master's personality is not irreversible. It just depends on whether the soul master himself has the idea and will to do so."

"You can't do it, or you don't think you need to do it?"

Having said that, Moon opened his eyes. His originally cloudy old eyes were now incredibly clear. Under his scrutinizing gaze, Xuan Zi lowered his head even lower.

"How many years have we known each other? A hundred years? Or two hundred years?" Moon's old voice carried a hint of majesty.

In terms of seniority, although Moon En is almost the same age as Xuan Zi, he is Xuan Zi's junior uncle. Moreover, since there are not many people of their generation left in Shrek Academy, the weight of this junior uncle in Xuan Zi's heart will only be more important.

"Before my senior brother passed away, he told me to train you well. With your martial spirit and talent, you are enough to support our Shrek Academy and buy at least another fifty years for our Shrek Academy."

"That's what I thought back then, and that's what I did, too. That's why you became the deputy head of the Shrek Supervisory Group and the leader of the Shrek Academy team in the 10th All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition."

"Each of these, which one is not the hope I have for you? With your talent, you should have broken through to the limit, and then I would be able to relax a little, but why didn't you break through?"

"You are still stuck at the bottleneck of level 98. Don't you know the reason?"

"Don't you know? Or don't you want to face it?"

Hearing this, Xuanzi's body trembled slightly, but he didn't dare to reply.

"He is impetuous by nature, petty-minded, knows he is wrong but refuses to correct it, and takes advantage of his age to bully others."

“You have been talking about the glory of Shrek Academy over the years, but how do you actually practice it?”

"Is the glory of my Shrek Academy something you can show off all the time? Are the glory of my Shrek Academy and the disciples of my Shrek Academy less important to you than the food in your mouth?"

"I don't want to talk about what happened to Le Xuan anymore. This time, you are the one leading the inspection team."

"Of course, from the first day the Shrek Supervisory Group was established, all members of the Shrek Supervisory Group have taken an oath and signed a contract. Everyone must be prepared to die for the glory of Shrek Academy."

"I believe that Dai Yuheng has already realized this in his heart, but this kind of thing should not happen here, at a time when you, the second best master of our Shrek Academy and the deputy leader of the Shrek Supervisory Group, Xuan Zi, are leading the team!"

At this moment, in the Poseidon Pavilion, there were only Moon En and Xuan Zi, so Moon En could speak frankly about this.

The so-called sacrifice was indeed something that everyone in the Shrek Supervisory Group was prepared for, but the results would naturally be very different depending on who the sacrificed person was, the situation they were in, and the mission they performed.

The difficulty of this mission is actually not high. It is just a roving bandit group. The strongest one is just a Soul King. Even if his abilities are special, the leader is a Super Douluo.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any loss in this mission, and this mission should have been a shot in the arm for the Shrek Academy's main team, and also a deterrent to other teams in this competition. But the result was one death and one injury, and the dead one was the eldest son of Duke White Tiger. You should know that the venue of this competition is Xingluo City, and Duke White Tiger will definitely watch the game. This is undoubtedly a painful lesson for the White Tiger lineage and Shrek Academy.

Because of this, although Moon's words were not loud, they hit Xuanzi's heart like a heavy hammer.

There was no one else around at this moment, so Moon En didn't need to worry about his and Xuan Zi's identities and say those high-sounding words, but instead spoke his heart out to Xuan Zi.

As the leader of Poseidon Pavilion, Moon really hopes that Xuan Zi, the strongest person in Shrek Academy after him, can take on the responsibility of supporting Shrek Academy.

"Time and time again, Xuan Zi, you really disappoint me."

"The position of the Sea God Pavilion Master not only represents the top combat force of Shrek Academy, but also the actual controller who coordinates the overall situation and points out the direction for Shrek Academy."

"And now, I really don't have the confidence to entrust this responsibility to you anymore. I don't have the time to guide you anymore."

"I thought that what happened to Le Xuan and the others would serve as a wake-up call for you to face the flaws in your own martial arts spirit, overcome them with your will, and use this to break through and complete the last step."

"But what have you done in the past few years? You have been living in a muddle-headed way. How can I safely hand over everything about Shrek Academy to you?"

"Junior Master Uncle," Xuan Zi responded in a low voice.

"And don't tell me that you have no part in the current situation in the academy where the Martial Soul Department is squeezing out the Soul Guidance Department." Before Xuan Zi could finish his words, Moon interrupted Xuan Zi forcefully and continued.

"."Xuan Zi lowered his head and remained silent.

"The world is changing, and when the tide of the times arrives, no one person or force can resist it."

“Even if Shrek Academy doesn’t adapt to the development of the times and make positive progress, it is very likely to be submerged under the tide of the times. In other words, this will be an inevitable result.”

"How could it be! I am Shrek Academy..." Hearing this, Xuan Zi was obviously quite unconvinced and even wanted to argue with Moon.

But Moon's next words, which were calm but full of absolute authority, made Xuan Zi feel like there was something stuck in his throat.

"I have personally been to the Sun-Moon Empire once, and I saw many things in the Sun-Moon Empire that shocked me."

"Over the past thirty years, soul guides have been changing rapidly. In the Sun-Moon Empire, I even saw a super-large soul guide that required multiple people to operate. This thing could even threaten my life."

"In addition to this, the Sun-Moon Empire is also constantly exploring and developing low-end and mid-range soul guides. Now the gap between the Sun-Moon Empire and the three countries that originally belonged to Douluo Continent and our Shrek Academy in terms of soul guides is far greater than anyone can imagine."

“With such a development prospect, coupled with the strong national strength of the Sun-Moon Empire, it is conceivable that the Sun-Moon Empire will start a war again in the future. After I die, if Shrek Academy does not change and does not pay attention, then it will not be far from destruction.”

Although he said so, Moon's expression seemed extremely indifferent and calm, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"What, Junior Uncle-Master, could it be that you..." Xuan Zi widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Yes, the hidden injuries in my body can no longer be suppressed. For me, there is not much time left."

"And whether it's you or Shaozhe, in my opinion, you're both too petty and too rigid to take on big responsibilities."

Moon turned his head to look at the attic window, looking at the endless Poseidon Lake outside the window, and all kinds of memories surged in his heart.

He, Moon, is the head of the Poseidon Pavilion and the descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. He was born and raised in this academy and has dedicated his entire life to this academy. Two hundred and fifty years is too long for a mortal.

For the sake of the college, he gave up his former love, and for the sake of the college, he also abandoned his most intimate friend. He has paid too much for this college, leaving too many regrets and too many concerns.

To this day, even though he is about to die, he can no longer stop considering the future of this academy. If he cannot leave a path for the academy to continue, he will not be reconciled even after his death.

Even Moon now can see the deep-seated flaws in this academy.

Even though he could see that the existence and educational model of Shrek Academy were no longer suitable for this era, he still wanted to work hard to extend the life of Shrek Academy.

"Dai Yuheng died in the Shrek Supervisory Group mission this time. You must personally apologize to Duke Baihu. No matter what, you must obtain Duke Baihu's forgiveness."

"As for the two vacant spots, give them to the kids in the reserve team. Just think of it as an opportunity for them to gain experience."

"Next, you should go to the Soul Guidance Department more often, and at the same time, let the resources between the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department flow and achieve a certain degree of integration. I want to see that the children of the Shrek Supervisory Group are ready to use practical soul guides."

"If there was a defensive soul guide this time, even if you didn't follow, I believe that Dai Yuheng wouldn't have ended up in this situation."

"It's Mr. Mu." Xuanzi took a deep breath and didn't say anything else.

"Also, give the inner court disciple from the Soul Guidance Department who was eliminated by you some more resources as compensation. He is also a good talent. Being kicked out of the main team this time must be a big blow to him. He deserves it."

In the end, Moon chose to let the matter go, holding it high and letting it go gently, without imposing any further punishment or blame on Xuan Zi.

Xuan Zi also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, but did not dare to show it on his face, and hurriedly left the Poseidon Pavilion.

Because what Moon En asked him to do in the end was not difficult at all. It was just an apology. He was a Super Douluo, so how could the Duke of White Tiger dare to look down on him?

As for the relationship between the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department, he is just an elder. If it really comes to implementation, it still depends on the four deans and vice deans of the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department of the Outer Court.
