"Yan Shaozhe, don't be impulsive!"
A tall and beautiful woman shouted at Yan Shaozhe's retreating figure.
Can Shaozhe even hear her?
He rushed to the battlefield without looking back!
"Alas~ he's still the same!"
The beautiful woman sighed, causing the middle-aged man wearing glasses to frown.
"What are you looking at? I'm married to you, and you still think I'm thinking about him?"
Before the bespectacled man could respond, the beautiful woman snapped angrily.
Hearing this, the corner of the man's eye twitched, but he remained silent.
Deep down, he knew the truth: if she weren't still thinking about Yan Shaozhe, why would they still not share a room after so many years of marriage?
Marrying him had merely been an act of spite.
"Lin'er, now is not the time to talk about this..."
The bespectacled man, Qian Duoduo, a Title Douluo-level powerhouse, felt a deep sense of injustice.
Though he knew his wife's heart belonged to another, he dared not utter a word.
Xian Lin'er seemed to recall something and nodded at Qian Duoduo. "You're right," she said.
With that, Xian Lin'er instantly activated her Azure Flame Dragon Martial Soul.
Wielding an eighth-level soul guide spear and clad in battle armor, she looked every bit the Valkyrie.
Qian Duoduo reached out his right hand, but before he could stop her, the beauty in front of him leaped lightly and soared toward the battlefield.
"She ... She really still cares about Yan Shaozhe..."
Qian Duoduo felt a pang of loss, his body trembling slightly.
Xian Lin'er's actions had humiliated him, but what could he do? He couldn't bear to lose her.
Even if her love was only in spirit, even if their marriage was in name only, he couldn't let her go.
"Alas~"
With a sigh, Qian Duoduo extended his hand, and a shield materialized in his grasp.
"Black Dragon Doulou, follow me to protect Lin'er."
In the next moment, Qian Duoduo also charged toward the battlefield.
If it weren't for Yan Shaozhe, that scoundrel, they might have retained some sense of reason.
But now, like nesting dolls, they were rushing one after another to the battlefield where Xuanzi and Zhongli were engaged.
"Alas???"
Only one beautiful young woman remained standing in place, staring at the retreating figures in bewilderment.
This Xian Lin'er was married, yet she still pined for Shaozhe?
Was Duoduo truly so worthless...
Shaking her head, the beautiful young woman extended her hand, and a spear appeared in her grip.
She, too, rushed toward the battlefield.
Yan Shaozhe was her husband.
If Xian Lin'er was in such a hurry, how could she not be?
It was just that Elder Mu hadn't spoken, so she hadn't dared to act rashly.
But Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo are already on the move.
As Yan Shaozhe's wife, why isn't she saying anything?
Although Zhongli is strong, he hasn't reached the point of pushing Shrek Academy to desperation.
Shrek Academy has many powerful individuals, while Zhongli is alone.
Even if they resort to crowd tactics, they could overwhelm him!
This is the confidence of Shrek Academy.
When the elders of the Seagod Pavilion saw this, they all shook their heads.
After all, these younger ones were still too impulsive.
The situation could have been resolved peacefully, but their recklessness only made things more complicated.
"Old Song, aren't you going to step in?"
Song Lao, Xian Lin'er's mother and Qian Duoduo's mother-in-law, possessed strength at the peak of level ninety-seven, making her one of the top combatants under Mu En and Xuanzi.
"Don't worry, let's wait for Elder Mu to speak."
No one was in a hurry, and there was also an underlying intention to let these younger Title Douluo gain some experience.
This was an old tradition of Shrek Academy.
The elders guarded the gates, while the younger ones ventured out to battle evil soul masters, often at great cost.
As the four Titled Douluo rushed to the scene, the already tense atmosphere grew even heavier!
Especially for the residents of Shrek City.
The "villain" named Zhongli had made his move, yet he hadn't harmed a single innocent person.
But the powerhouses of Shrek Academy seemed to care little for the lives of the people!
Many had already made up their minds: no matter who won or lost, they would not stay in Shrek City any longer.
They paid so much in taxes every year, only to be endangered by "their own people"!
Seeing Yan Shaozhe and the others arrive, Xuanzi breathed a sigh of relief but grew even angrier.
He still hadn't figured out how Zhongli had managed to seal him!
"Shaozhe, Lin'er, Duoduo, Mei'er, be careful! This guy has some kind of evil technique that can seal elemental energy!"
"Avoid close combat with him, and even if you engage in hand-to-hand combat, be careful not to let him touch you!"
Xuanzi spoke gravely, his expression stern.
Information was crucial for a soul master. Had he known earlier about Zhongli's abilities, he wouldn't have been so easily sealed.
The four of them nodded solemnly, their expressions serious as they turned their attention to Zhongli.
"Zhongli, release Elder Xuan's seal immediately, and Shrek Academy may spare your life. This matter can end here."
"Otherwise..."
As Yan Shaozhe spoke, he unleashed his aura, pressing it toward Zhongli, his meaning clear.
"Elder Xuan was merely testing you, yet you resorted to such evil techniques to seal him. What are your intentions?"
Xian Lin'er held her spear in one hand, pointing it at Zhongli, her voice filled with indignation.
Though Xuanzi's method of testing might have been disrespectful, he only wanted to gauge Zhongli's strength.
What was wrong with that?
Zhongli, who wielded such a sealing technique, was the true evil!
Seeing Zhongli remain silent, Xian Lin'er seemed to recall something and continued, "Not only must you release Elder Xuan's seal, but you must also disclose the method of this sealing technique. Swear that you will never use such evil arts again!"
"Such dark techniques are only safe if they remain within Shrek Academy!"
Qian Duoduo, holding his Oolong Shield, nodded hurriedly in agreement. "Lin'er is right!"
At this moment, even Xuanzi, who was "sealed," couldn't help but glance at Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er, a strange light flickering in his eyes.
Truly, they were geniuses cultivated by the academy, capable of thinking of things even he couldn't conceive!
Yes, such evil techniques were safest only within Shrek Academy.
If they could master this technique, dealing with evil soul masters in the future would become much easier.
Was Shrek Academy's use of such techniques evil?
No, only those with ill intentions were evil when using dark arts.
Shrek Academy had been passed down for 10,000 years.
How much had it contributed to the Douluo Continent?
Using this technique was only natural, and it was impossible for them to become an evil force!
Secretly, the corner of Mu En's eye twitched.
He now wanted to crack open the heads of Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er, and the others to see what was inside!
Xuanzi was like this, Yan Shaozhe was like this, and Xian Lin'er was still like this!
"It's over... This one is really going to be angry..."
Zhongli held his spear, his amber eyes calmly observing Xuanzi, Yan Shaozhe, and the others.
He knew that Shrek Academy had some issues during this period, but he hadn't expected the problems to be so severe!
This was the result of long-term arrogance and ignorance.
No wonder, after 10,000 years, many forces would even cooperate with so-called evil soul masters to destroy Shrek Academy.
What left Zhongli most speechless was that, despite his disguise as such a powerful figure, the other party remained so foolish.
"The last time I fought seriously was 500 years ago."
"Shrek... What a Shrek Academy!"
