Elder Mu survived his serious injuries, but Shrek Academy released news of his death.
This was all intentional on Elder Mu's part.
"I also want to know just how many people are eyeing us covetously. This faked death might provide a very clear picture."
...
After the news of Elder Mu's faked death spread, Jing Hongchen became the first to jump the gun.
Originally, he was supposed to stay at Shrek as a hostage during the exchange of students, but now that he knew about Elder Mu's faked death, Jing Hongchen immediately changed his mind.
Elder Mu didn't care.
He simply had Yan Shaozhe take Huo Yuhao to meet Jing Hongchen.
Upon arriving at the agreed-upon location, Huo Yuhao quickly saw familiar faces. In two years, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, the siblings, had clearly grown a lot.
Now seventeen years old, they looked almost like adults.
The two siblings stood at the front of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's group.
Jing Hongchen also arrived.
The team leader was none other than Teacher Ma, the same teacher who led the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to the competition last time—the chief of Mingde Hall and the grandfather of Ma Rulong.
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was truly determined this time; not only did Xiao Hongchen and his sister come, but many other powerful team members also accompanied them.
Huo Yuhao could tell that these were all elites from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
The two sides met in the center of Maple Leaf Square, and Xiao Hongchen and his sister's gazes immediately fell on Huo Yuhao standing at the back of the group.
Facing Huo Yuhao, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but curl his lip, giving him a provocative look.
Although he had lost to Huo Yuhao last time, this time, after his advanced studies at Shrek Academy and a more thorough understanding of martial souls, he would completely crush Huo Yuhao!
"Huo Yuhao is nothing, I can suppress him with one hand!"
While Xiao Hongchen was gloating, Jing Hongchen and Yan Shaozhe had already begun their sharp exchange.
Jing Hongchen gave Yan Shaozhe a forced smile and said, "I didn't expect Dean Yan to come in person today. It seems your academy attaches great importance to this exchange activity."
Yan Shaozhe, upon hearing this, also wore a warm smile.
"Hall Master Hongchen, didn't you come in person too? Last time Hall Master Hongchen visited our Shrek Academy, I failed to extend the proper hospitality; it was truly impolite."
Jing Hongchen's facial muscles twitched visibly; the experience at the Sea God Pavilion was still fresh in his mind.
A level nine soul tool had fallen into the hands of Shrek Academy.
Moreover, even the several level nine fixed-position soul tools he had prepared had been taken by Shrek Academy—a heavy loss indeed.
Yan Shaozhe was clearly reopening old wounds.
"I heard that Elder Mu of your esteemed academy has passed away? Dean Yan, please accept my condolences! Alas, it's such a pity that our meeting has become our last."
"Among the Title Douluos I've ever met, Elder Mu was indeed the most powerful and the most respectable."
Jing Hongchen said this deliberately, intending to provoke Yan Shaozhe.
However, the news of Elder Mu's death was false, and Jing Hongchen's tactic completely backfired.
Yan Shaozhe didn't care at all.
"Then I'll trouble Dean Hongchen to kowtow to Elder Mu twice next time you come to Shrek Academy!"
Hearing Yan Shaozhe's blunt words, Jing Hongchen's face darkened.
Yan Shaozhe's words were practically an insult!
He was not only a Title Douluo but also a ninth-level Soul Master, and moreover, he was a citizen of the Sun Moon Empire. To ask him to kowtow to Mu En was an insult!
At this moment, Jing Hongchen realized he had been careless.
"I shouldn't have said I respected Mu En earlier. What does his death have to do with me?"
To avoid further provocation from Yan Shaozhe, Jing Hongchen directly changed the subject.
"Dean Yan, let's not talk about these pointless things anymore."
"Since we've already agreed, let's exchange students now. On behalf of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, I welcome your students to study here."
Seeing Jing Hongchen's discomfiture, Yan Shaozhe laughed inwardly.
"Then, please take good care of our students from the future, Dean Hongchen."
Jing Hongchen replied with a forced smile.
"Don't worry, Dean Yan, the elites from your Shrek Academy will definitely receive the best teaching at Mingde Hall."
"However, we at Mingde Hall can't guarantee how much they'll learn!"
"Dean Yan won't hold a grudge against our students, will he?"
Yan Shaozhe scoffed at Jing Hongchen's probing.
"Of course, they will learn real knowledge during their studies at Shrek!"
"After all, the doors of Shrek are open to everyone."
And so, in their exchange, the two exchanged blows.
The two old foxes at least outwardly smiled broadly, but what they truly thought remained a mystery to themselves.
The students from both sides began exchanging positions. As Huo Yuhao and Xiao Hongchen brushed past each other, he clearly heard Xiao Hongchen's arrogant whisper,
"Huo Yuhao, in the next competition, I'll show you my true power!"
Xiao Hongchen was confident.
Mingde Hall had already obtained the Snow Empress embryo. He had entered Shrek Academy to study the mysteries of martial souls, facilitating future martial soul fusion.
Because Jing Hongchen, through the analysis of the soul tool, had already determined the Snow Empress's attribute: snow.
Absorbing it would be enough to create an ultimate snow martial soul!
Upon receiving this news, Xiao Hongchen was overjoyed.
With the Snow Empress embryo fused, what was there to fear from Huo Yuhao?
"So what if it's the ultimate ice?"
"As long as I devour that soul beast, I can create a martial soul of ultimate snow!"
"Ice and snow have always been intertwined; I'd like to see who comes out on top!"
...
However, facing Xiao Hongchen's provocation, Huo Yuhao only responded with a contemptuous glance.
Their gazes instantly clashed, sparking intense flames.
Unlike Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen seemed to be in a very good mood after seeing him, a slight smile always on her face.
Xiao Hongchen, standing to the side, was also somewhat puzzled; what was wrong with his sister?
Meng Hongchen's pretty face was smiling, even slightly flushed, her gaze fixed on the distance, thinking to herself,
"Wang Dong, it's been two years. I wonder how you are..."
However, Meng Hongchen didn't know that this exchange at Shrek Academy would change her life forever.
Soon, the exchange was completed.
Yan Shaozhe smiled calmly and said, "Then, Master Hongchen, farewell."
Jing Hongchen said, "Brother Yan, take care."
After their eyes met again, Yan Shaozhe leaped into the air, without even using a flying soul tool. It was as if an invisible staircase stretched through the air, allowing him to stride forward and instantly ascend into the sky.
