Chapter 155: Reactions from All Parties

Chapter 155: Reactions from All Parties

Who could kill Old Xuan?

A powerhouse at the level of an Ultimate Douluo!

In the entire Sea God Pavilion, only Mu En had reached this level.

Moreover, Mu En still had hidden injuries and couldn't exert his full strength.

"Are we just going to let it go?" An old man's voice rang out, filled with unwillingness.

This sentiment echoed in the hearts of many other elders present.

On ordinary days, it was always Shrek Academy that acted high and mighty, leaving others helpless and unable to voice grievances. Now that it was their turn to suffer, it was simply unbearable!

Mu En looked at their impotent rage, and a deep disappointment filled his heart.

Because of this, he was genuinely confused about the future of the academy.

"I am very sad and angry about Old Xuan's matter."

"But the fact is that we have no way to take revenge." Mu En's calm voice slowly rang out.

"I warned Old Xuan before that the forces behind Ling Shuang were not simple, but he didn't take it seriously, which led to this result."

"I don't want anyone here to follow in Old Xuan's footsteps. Understand?"

He swept his gaze across everyone present, both as advice and warning.

"Teacher Mu, we understand."

Even without Mu En's reminder, they wouldn't dare to follow in Old Xuan's footsteps.

Though they seemed extremely enraged now, they were not Old Xuan, and certainly not as reckless.

Angry or not, they wouldn't risk their own lives.

These old, shrewd men were more cautious than anyone else.

Seeing this, Mu En nodded slightly. "Let's leave it at that."

"You may keep it in mind, but before you have the real strength to act on it, keep it buried in your heart."

"Shaozhe."

"Teacher, I'm here." Yan Shaozhe responded immediately.

Mu En glanced at him. "You'll be responsible for preparing Old Xuan's funeral. After all, he was one of our Sea God Pavilion elders, and the academy should show due respect."

"Yes, teacher." Yan Shaozhe nodded.

Mu En paused for a moment and continued, "Also, talk to Xiaotao. Tell her not to have further contact with Ling Shuang."

"The current situation no longer allows it."

Mu En had not intervened when Ma Xiaotao had contact with Ling Shuang before.

Even though Ling Shuang had withdrawn from Shrek Academy, the relationship hadn't deteriorated too badly.

But now that Old Xuan had died at the hands of Xue Di because of Ling Shuang, it was a blood feud between Shrek Academy and Ling Shuang.

As one of the most outstanding geniuses in the academy, Ma Xiaotao could no longer maintain any relationship with Ling Shuang under these circumstances.

Otherwise, Mu En truly feared that this Fire Phoenix genius would be swayed to the other side.

Yan Shaozhe, meticulous to the point of obsession, naturally understood Mu En's concern.

After a brief silence, he nodded slightly. "I will talk to Xiaotao."

Unlike Mu En, as her teacher and a father-like figure, Yan Shaozhe knew very well how Ma Xiaotao felt about Ling Shuang.

That girl's heart had long been given to Ling Shuang.

It would be far too difficult for her to cut off contact with Ling Shuang now!

At this moment, Yan Shaozhe was already feeling some regret for having allowed Ma Xiaotao to get involved with Ling Shuang.

If he had known things would turn out like this, he would never have made that decision!

Yan Shaozhe admitted that he was not a good person.

He often prioritized interests above all else.

But when it came to Ma Xiaotao, he truly cared beyond interests.

Yan Shaozhe had no children of his own, and he had always treated Ma Xiaotao as a daughter.

While there was some consideration of gain when he let Ma Xiaotao contact Ling Shuang, he had also genuinely believed it could be good for her.

After all, Ling Shuang's talent, appearance, and personality were all top-tier. In Yan Shaozhe's eyes, if Ma Xiaotao could be with someone like that, it would surely be a blessing.

Now, being told to separate them truly left him torn.

But he also understood that things had developed beyond his control. His original hopes were no longer possible.

"As for the rest…"

"Control public opinion and minimize the impact of this competition."

"Shrek's glory cannot be lost!"

Mu En's voice grew deeper.

They must remain the top academy on the continent!

…

"How was it? What happened last night?"

Seeing Elder Ma return, the team members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy immediately gathered to greet him. Xiao Hongchen asked curiously.

They had all noticed the disturbance last night.

Old Ma wore a complicated expression—equal parts shock and pleasure.

"According to our investigation, Shrek Academy's Taotie Douluo died last night."

"What?!"

Everyone from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was stunned.

"Elder Ma, you mean the Titled Douluo at rank 98?"

As soul masters themselves, they knew very well what a rank-98 peak Douluo meant.

"Yes." Elder Ma nodded to confirm.

That was the source of his mixed emotions.

Naturally, Elder Ma was pleased by Old Xuan's death.

After all, the Sun Moon Empire and Shrek Academy had never seen eye to eye. The fall of a powerhouse from Shrek was definitely welcome news to him.

But he had to admit that Old Xuan's strength was terrifying. That was an undeniable fact.

There were likely few in the entire Sun Moon Empire capable of matching him.

And yet such a powerful figure had fallen last night this shocked even Elder Ma.

"Is there really such a powerful expert hidden in Star Luo City?"

"Could it be some kind of soul tool?" Xiao Hongchen speculated.

"Unlikely. Aside from highly destructive ninth-grade fixed soul cannon shells, most soul tools are ineffective against someone like Taotie Douluo."

"There was no such commotion last night. It doesn't seem like a soul tool was involved."

"There are still hidden dragons and crouching tigers on this continent!" Elder Ma sighed.

"By the way..." Elder Ma suddenly thought of something, and his gaze turned toward Xiao Hongchen and the others.

"According to the news, it seems Elder Xuan was killed by a powerhouse beside Ling Shuang, the captain of the Star Luo Royal Academy team."

"Since we're currently in Star Luo City, don't provoke that person."

Elder Ma felt the need to give them a serious warning.

Especially Xiao Hongchen his temperament was the most concerning.

This wasn't the Sun Moon Empire. If Xiao Hongchen ended up provoking Ling Shuang and triggered that mysterious powerhouse, it would lead to serious consequences!

Elder Ma was self-aware.

He wasn't even Old Xuan's match, let alone someone capable of killing Old Xuan!
