The scene unfolding before their eyes left Elder Song and the others completely unable to believe their own eyes; before Bei Bei loudly reprimanded Xuan Zi just now, they all thought what Bei Bei said was merely angry talk.
After all, no matter what, Xuan Zi was still an elder of Shrek Academy; although he lacked brains, he still had strength.
You must know that even though Elder Song had been so anxious moments ago that she wanted to tear that bastard Xuan Zi limb from limb, she had only thought about it.
She had never truly thought of taking action to directly dismember one of Xuan Zi's arms. One reason was that her own strength was inferior to Xuan Zi's, and the other was that Xuan Zi was the highest combat power of Shrek Academy—although unreliable, what if Xuan Zi could come in handy?
Therefore, let alone directly and forcibly tearing off one of Xuan Zi's arms right in front of everyone.
At this moment, blood was still flowing from Xuan Zi's severed arm, his entire complexion was quite ugly, and his old face was directly twisted from the pain.
Zhang Lexuan was standing beside Cai Yue'er at this moment, her pair of black eyes filled with disbelief. As she looked at Bei Bei's cold face, a wave of complex emotions surged in her heart.
In Zhang Lexuan's impression, Bei Bei was not this kind of person.
Bei Bei was gentle and steady; no matter how big an issue he encountered, he would not easily fly into a rage. Moreover, the relationship between Bei Bei and Xuan Zi shouldn't be this tense.
After all, no matter what, Xuan Zi was Ancestor Mu's martial nephew and could be considered Bei Bei's elder.
How did it turn out like this now?
And what did Bei Bei's words just now mean? Taking back Mu En's Spirit Bone from Xuan Zi—was Mu En murdered by Xuan Zi?
What on earth happened to Shrek Academy?
Zhang Lexuan felt that she had only entered that Shrek Academy in the Sky for a few months, yet she found that the outside world had completely changed.
And now, being able to rescue the people of the original Shrek Academy was already the best result.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the complexity in her heart, and said nothing more.
Xuan Zi covered his severed right arm, blood gushing out from between his fingers. His pair of turbid old eyes were filled with resentment, and he stared fixedly at Bei Bei, as if he wanted to tear Bei Bei limb from limb.
"Bei Bei, you beast! I am your Ancestor Mu's martial nephew after all! I am also considered your elder! I have shed blood and sweat for Shrek Academy for so many years, how dare you treat me like this?!"
When saying these words, Xuan Zi gritted his teeth and trembled all over. In those eyes, besides resentment, there was also disbelief; it seemed he had completely no way to believe that the rather cowardly Bei Bei actually dared to directly tear off his arm in the street.
This arm had undergone Fusion with a Spirit Bone, and instead of breaking through to Level 99, he had directly dropped to Level 88, plummeting by ten levels all at once. He was clearly just one step away from breaking through to Level 99—how he hated it!
Furthermore, having dropped from Level 98 to the Realm of a Spirit Douluo, Xuan Zi's ninth Spirit Ring could now no longer be used, and even the function of his spirit core directly failed. For Xuan Zi, his combat power could be said to have drastically declined.
(Referring to Tang Hao, who still had nine Spirit Rings even after dropping to Level 70; the concept of a spirit core relies on vitality, making it very difficult to destroy while alive, so here, because he fell from Titled Douluo, the spirit core's function is treated as invalidated)
Facing Xuan Zi's questioning, Bei Bei's expression was very calm, though that pair of eyes was filled with iciness.
"Get out of Shrek Academy, or else it won't be as simple as just an arm."
What Bei Bei said could be considered quite impolite. After listening to Xuan Zi's words, Bei Bei did not feel much emotion, and was not even willing to waste breath talking nonsense with Xuan Zi.
Xuan Zi's complexion at this moment could be said to be quite ugly. Being forced into such a state by a junior was simply a supreme humiliation!
Elder Song watched this scene, hesitated for a moment, and wanted to say something, but when her gaze fell upon Bei Bei's cold face and she saw those completely rippleshess eyes, the words she wanted to say swallowed back down.
The remaining living elders of the Sea God Pavilion did not speak up for Xuan Zi at this time either, because Xuan Zi had truly gone too far.
Especially since Xuan Zi had brought quite a bit of trouble to Shrek Academy, and now that Xuan Zi had lost an arm and his strength had fallen below Titled Douluo, Bei Bei's handling of him could already be considered mild.
Xuan Zi looked at the silent elders around him, and at the cold, even somewhat gloating gazes in the eyes of those students; his mood was exceptionally terrible.
"Good, very good! Bei Bei, you remember this for this old man, this matter is not over!"
After saying these words, Xuan Zi abruptly turned around and left toward the outside of the academy, his figure quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.
Zang Xin watched Xuan Zi's departing back, the corners of his mouth slightly lifting upward, and then looked at Bei Bei by his side.
"If you let him go now, he might not necessarily let you off in the future. Crippling the Spirit Power of a Titled Douluo is no different from killing him."
Bei Bei let out a wry smile, shook his head, and then spoke.
"The power on my body right now does not originate from me; every time it is used, there is one less time left. Therefore, I hope to use the remaining energy to protect the academy. Taking back Ancestor Mu's Spirit Bone from Xuan Zi was nothing more than my own selfish desire."
Bei Bei lowered his head to look at the golden scales on his arm that were slowly fading away.
After listening to Bei Bei's words, Zang Xin did not choose to say much, simply nodding to indicate understanding.
Bei Bei took a deep breath, turned around, and bowed deeply to Zang Xin, Ya Li, Lan Muzi, and the others.
"Everyone, for this assistance, everyone in our academy is endlessly grateful!"
"If not for your intervention, our academy would probably have long since turned into ruins, unable to last until I gained this power."
Bei Bei didn't directly say that their academy was Shrek Academy; after all, no matter what, the names of the two academies were the same.
Zang Xin waved his hand and said in a calm tone.
"Dealing with external enemies naturally means casting aside previous animosities. The harm caused by these external enemies is not just to your academy, but to the entire Douluo Continent."
Bei Bei straightened up and nodded gratefully.
Zang Xin's gaze swept across the surrounding members of Shrek Academy, and then he slowly spoke.
"Although the current matter has been resolved, this Abyssal Passage is still open here, and the Abyssal Creatures will still make a comeback."
Although Zang Xin's words were not complete, Elder Song and the others were also clear that even though their Shrek Academy claimed to only recruit monsters and cultivate monsters, the monsters they recruited and cultivated were completely inadequate in front of these Abyssal Creatures.
It should be said that it was already quite difficult for these elders to handle, let alone those students, whose fate at best amounted to being cannon fodder.
Everyone's gaze fell upon Bei Bei at this moment; Bei Bei was now the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, and everything was up to Bei Bei to decide.
"I understand. We will move away from here. However, since these monsters appeared from our side, please also allow us to make a contribution to wiping out these fellows."
Bei Bei said with a deep breath.
Zang Xin glanced at Bei Bei with some surprise; he hadn't expected that this young teenager, after the academy suffered such heavy trauma, could still say such words.
Naturally, Zang Xin could not possibly disagree with this.
"Naturally, you can."
Hearing this, Bei Bei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and bowed once more.
"Thank you."
