Chapter 125 Xuanzi: Shaozhe, you are disobeying Elder Mu's orders.
Xuanzi stared wide-eyed at Yan Shaozhe, thinking he had just misheard.
After all, Elder Mu had just given the order that the academy did not need to send anyone to support Xingluo's competition this time. He did not expect that Yan Shaozhe, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would say these things to him in the blink of an eye.
Xuanzi frowned and said in a serious voice, "Shao Zhe, you are disobeying Elder Mu's orders."
Yan Shaozhe looked helpless and said, "Elder Xuan, I know that."
"The teacher is right. Shrek's honor is not maintained by winning a single game."
"But we can gradually change the mindset of the teachers and students in the college, which doesn't conflict with winning the championship this time."
"Elder Xuan, ever since our ancestor Tang San became a god ten thousand years ago, Shrek Academy has always been the number one academy on the continent. We cannot let the championship slip from our generation's hands!"
As Yan Shaozhe spoke, he also observed Xuanzi's expression.
Based on Yan Shaozhe's understanding of Xuanzi, he values Shrek Academy's glory above all else.
Sure enough, after hearing these words, Xuanzi's eyes showed a clear hint of interest.
Yan Shaozhe immediately pressed his advantage, saying, "Elder Xuan, we can't become the first dean and elder in the school's history to lose the championship."
Upon hearing this, Xuanzi could no longer remain seated and said in a deep voice, "You should think this through. Once you do this, you can only keep it a secret for a while. In the end, Elder Mu will definitely find out."
Yan Shaozhe cursed inwardly upon hearing this. Xuanzi's words clearly showed that he didn't want to take responsibility. He was trying to get him to admit that he was the mastermind. He really wanted to have his cake and eat it too!
He took a deep breath to suppress the agitation in his heart and said, "Elder Xuan, when my teacher finds out about this, I will kneel before him and beg for his forgiveness. After all, I was only thinking of the academy!"
As he spoke, a hint of sorrow appeared in Yan Shaozhe's eyes: "Even if the teacher has to expel me from the academy because of this, I will accept it!"
Although he said this, Yan Shaozhe knew in his heart that just like Elder Xuan was not allowed to leave the Sea God Pavilion, no matter how angry the teacher was, he would not expel him, his personal disciple, from the academy.
At most, they would just remove him from his position as dean of the Martial Soul Department. After all, the academy wouldn't let a level 95 Super Douluo leave so easily.
Xuanzi nodded upon seeing this: "Alright, bring those two students here, and I promise to bring them to Xingluo as quickly as possible."
"Please wait a moment, Elder Xuan, I'll be right back."
Yan Shaozhe's face darkened as he turned to leave. He clenched his fists and only snorted after walking a long way.
If he were also a level 98 Super Douluo, why would he need to be so tolerant, even if Xuanzi was an elder of the academy?
At this moment, Yan Shaozhe's desire for strength was particularly strong!
...
Star City, Star Emperor Hotel, top floor, Shrek Academy lounge.
Ren Jun relentlessly berated Xuan Zi, and although Wang Yan didn't say anything, he nodded repeatedly inwardly.
It was precisely because of this that, in a short period of time, Wang Yan's unfamiliarity with Ren Jun, his senior, which stemmed from not seeing him for many years, had transformed into a close friendship based on shared hatred.
While Ren Jun was venting his frustrations and taking a break to drink some water, Wang Yan asked, "Senior, did you come here to watch the competition as well?"
I guess so!
Ren Jun quickly took another sip of water, a hint of embarrassment flashing in his eyes.
After feeling more familiar with the place, Wang Yan pressed on, "Senior, you've been away from the academy for many years. I wonder where you are now?"
Ren Jun put down his water glass and looked at Wang Yan's friendly expression, feeling really bad about lying to him.
And thinking about it, they would eventually meet again in the next match.
Ren Jun simply stated directly, "I am currently a teacher at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and I am leading a team to participate in this competition."
Wang Yan's smile froze.
He stared at Ren Jun, as if trying to find a trace of a joke in the other's eyes.
But Ren Jun's gaze was open and honest, without the slightest hesitation, clearly indicating that what he said was true.
"Sun and Moon... Royal Soul Master Academy?"
Wang Yan's voice was a little dry, as if something was stuck in his throat: "Senior, why...why did you go there?"
Ren Jun snorted: "You should know my experience. That incident caused quite a stir in the academy back then."
Ren Jun slowly rolled up his trouser leg, the cold metallic light gleaming with a faint blue glow under the lamplight.
His right leg, from the knee down, was entirely made of precise soul-guided metal, with several tiny soul-guided runes embedded in the joints, emitting a slight hum as soul power flowed through it.
"Shrek's promise of training and compensation never materialized, so I had no choice but to leave the academy."
"The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy made this soul-guided prosthetic limb for me. They sent people to help me hunt for my eighth soul ring."
Wang Yan opened his mouth, intending to say, "Senior, how could you join the Sun Moon Empire?"
But in the end, he discovered that he couldn't make a sound at all.
All the questions and incomprehension seemed so pale at this moment.
In the past, he would have strongly condemned Ren Jun, this traitor to the academy.
Having just experienced an accident caused by Xuanzi's negligence, he could somewhat empathize with Ren Jun's feelings.
Finally, Wang Yan looked up at Ren Jun: "So... this time, senior is considered my enemy?"
"An enemy? You could say that!"
Ren Jun turned around, his metal prosthetic leg making a rhythmic sound as it stepped on the floor: "Shrek Academy shouldn't be like this now."
He walked to the door, stopped, and turned back to say, "I will not hide the situation of Shrek Academy from Sun Moon."
Wang Yan's heart sank, and he wished he could slap himself a few times, secretly regretting that he had blurted out all the contestants' information.
At this moment, Ren Jun said, "I won't take advantage of you, I'll tell you some information about the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."
Wang Yan immediately straightened his neck, waiting for the information Ren Jun would say.
He thought that if he could really find out some information about the participants from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, it would be worthwhile.
Under Wang Yan's expectant gaze, Ren Jun said, "The participants from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy this time are very strong. Even if Shrek Academy hadn't had any accidents, they might not have been able to win the final championship!"
Wang Yan stared wide-eyed at Ren Jun's figure, which had already disappeared through the doorway, and thought to herself, "That's it?"
What kind of information is this? He still lost out!
However, Wang Yan calmed down and pondered Ren Jun's last words before leaving.
The members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy are very strong. Just how strong are they?
Although Shrek Academy has always regarded Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy as its strongest opponent in the competition, neither the students nor the teachers really take this perennial runner-up seriously.
This is the pride of Shrek.
But Wang Yan, a research-oriented genius, was clearly not among them, and he trusted the judgment of his senior, Ren Jun.
However, he doesn't have time to worry about these issues right now. Shrek will be playing in the first match of the knockout stage tomorrow, and that's what he's most worried about right now.
