Chapter 183 Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong's "Gossip"
Perhaps Kong Xuan's age was too deceptive, or perhaps it was because of his two previous compliments to Shrek Academy.
In short, Yan Shaozhe's wariness of Kong Xuan has decreased considerably.
He laughed and said confidently, "Ask me any questions you may have."
Kong Xuan smiled knowingly and said, "At the last competition in Xingluo City, your academy's Bei Bei, though young, displayed strength far exceeding his peers. I heard he is the great-grandson of Elder Mu, the Sea God Pavilion Master of your academy?"
Yan Shaozhe was confused as to why Kong Xuan had suddenly brought up Bei Bei, but his expression changed when he heard Kong Xuan mention Mu En.
The existence of Moon was known only to members of the Sea God Pavilion and a few inner court students at Shrek Academy.
To outsiders, this Sea God Pavilion Master should have perished together with the Body Sect Master, Poison Must Die, many years ago.
If Kong Xuan knows about Mu En, then the Sun Moon Empire knows about him!
It's no wonder Yan Shaozhe was unsettled when his supposedly well-hidden secrets were easily revealed by the enemy.
However, he quickly adjusted his mindset and said, "That's right, Bei Bei is indeed Elder Mu's great-grandson. As a descendant of the Limit Douluo, Bei Bei's talent is indeed remarkable."
Since the other party already knows, there's no point in hiding it anymore.
Yan Shaozhe directly revealed Mu En's cultivation level as a Limit Douluo, also in order to boost the prestige of Shrek Academy.
All the people in the province thought that Xuanzi, who had disgraced the Sun and Moon, was their Shrek Academy's greatest fighting force.
As expected, the moment the words "Limit Douluo" were uttered, everyone from Sun Moon Sect was shocked.
Ren Jun frowned even more. Of course he knew Mu En, the Dragon God Douluo who once shook the continent!
But wasn't he already dead?
Yan Shaozhe took in everyone's expressions and was somewhat surprised by their astonishment. Could it be that only Kong Xuan knew this news?
Ren Jun, in particular, was the one who thought that Ren Jun, the traitor, had somehow found out that Mu En was not dead and had informed the Sun Moon Empire.
Otherwise, given Moon's habit of rarely leaving his home, it would be virtually impossible for outsiders to know that he was still alive.
But judging from Ren Jun's expression now, it seems he only just learned about this news himself.
Yan Shaozhe probably never imagined that it was his great-great-grandson Beibei who exposed Mu En's information.
When Bei Bei first encountered Kong Xuan in the Star Dou Great Forest, in order to help Tang Ya win over Huo Yuhao, he directly shouted "My family ancestor's title is Dragon God".
Therefore, even if Kong Xuan didn't know the original plot, he would still know that Mu En, the Dragon God Douluo, was still alive.
Looking at Yan Shaozhe, whose expression changed several times in an instant, Kong Xuan asked again, "I heard that Elder Mu is a descendant of the academy's founders, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong?"
Yan Shaozhe's gaze towards Kong Xuan changed. This was practically a secret of the academy; those who hadn't entered the Sea God Pavilion would almost never know this.
Where exactly did Kong Xuan hear this "hearing" from?
Despite his doubts, Yan Shaozhe still wore a proud expression: "Elder Mu is my teacher, and I know quite a bit about him."
"That's right, Elder Mu is indeed a descendant of Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong, the founders of Shrek Academy."
Shrek Academy has a history of ten thousand years, and the descendants of its founder have become Limit Douluo. Isn't that a kind of boast?
Once the topic came up, Yan Shaozhe took the initiative to start talking and introduced, "Yu Xiaogang's ancestor came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but his martial soul underwent a malignant mutation, and his soul power increased slowly."
"However, he never gave up cultivation. When his soul power increased slowly, he began to study martial souls."
"He proposed the ten core competencies of martial spirits, which was the most advanced martial spirit theory ten thousand years ago, and also laid the foundation for Shrek Academy's talent cultivation."
...
Yan Shaozhe spoke eloquently, but Kong Xuan sneered inwardly.
He was too lazy to point out the errors in the theory of the ten core competencies of martial spirits, nor was he too lazy to say that it was a result that Yu Xiaogang had plagiarized from the Spirit Hall.
Because he has an even stronger killing move!
His questions were nothing more than a calculated maneuver, designed to lure Yan Shaozhe into a trap.
Just as Yan Shaozhe's face was beaming with pride, seemingly immersed in the glory of his teacher and ancestors.
Kong Xuan spoke again: "Dean Yan, I've heard that Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong are cousins. Is that true?"
The moment these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent.
Although there is no law in Douluo Continent that forbids marriage between close relatives, it has never been tolerated by the world from an ethical and moral standpoint.
Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong, these two ancestors of Shrek Academy, actually played such elaborate tricks?!
Yan Shaozhe was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened, and he roared angrily, "Nonsense! Where did you hear this news? To slander my academy's ancestors like this is tantamount to courting death!"
Kong Xuan was not intimidated by the aura emanating from Yan Shaozhe at all. Instead, he continued, "It's not something I've heard about. I just saw some records about Shrek Academy in an ancient book."
"It also says that because Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong are cousins, although they eventually decide to be together, they are only spiritual lovers and do not plan to have children."
"So when I heard that these two Shrek ancestors had descendants, I became curious and wanted to find out more."
"After all, I also want to figure out whether the rumors are wrong, whether Elder Mu is not a descendant of the two ancestors, or whether the two ancestors couldn't control themselves in the end and couldn't hold back."
Seeing Yan Shaozhe's increasingly dark expression, he laughed: "Dean Yan, as Elder Mu's disciple, I thought you would know the inside story. It seems you only have a superficial understanding."
At this moment, the bright and warm aura emanating from Yan Shaozhe had vanished, replaced by a chilling killing intent.
Everyone held their breath, fearing that Yan Shaozhe might make a move at any moment.
Meanwhile, Ma Sheng, the teacher leading the team, stared intently at Yan Shaozhe, his level nine soul-guided cannon already drawn.
While proceeding cautiously, he was also somewhat excited, because what Kong Xuan had said was simply too explosive!
Yan Shaozhe's expression was not only cold, but his heart was also chilled. Kong Xuan was trying to dig up the roots of Shrek Academy!
He didn't know whether Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong were cousins, but he had heard that there was some messy relationship between these two ancestors.
Therefore, Yan Shaozhe actually thought there was some truth to what Kong Xuan's seemingly outrageous information was.
However, no matter what, it is absolutely unacceptable to admit it now.
Trying to calm himself down, Yan Shaozhe snorted, "Shrek Academy has stood on the continent for ten thousand years, never competing or fighting, and taking the cultivation of students as its mission."
"But in the process of punishing evil and maintaining stability on the mainland, we have also made countless enemies."
"They are powerless to retaliate, so someone might fabricate these stories to insult the ancestors of Shrek Academy."
"Therefore, this information from an unclear source has absolutely no credibility."
After saying this, Yan Shaozhe glanced at Kong Xuan, his eyes carrying a hint of warning.
Kong Xuan wisely refrained from saying anything more, after all, he didn't want to get into a fight with the dean on his first day of exchange.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's hurry up and go."
Yan Shaozhe then turned around and continued walking forward, this time much more silent, and even lost interest in introducing the academy to the teachers and students from Riyue who came to exchange ideas.
