"But this is not a reason for him to be arrogant..." Yan Shaozhe said, feeling quite indignant.
His eyes comforted Xuan Zi while simultaneously radiating coldness: "If I catch him next time, I will definitely slaughter that little beast."
Mu En glanced at him and secretly shook his head.
A guy who hadn't even reached Titled Douluo could casually shoot out the eye of a level 98 Super Douluo and leave safely; how terrifying would he be once he reached Titled Douluo?
If they met again, he only hoped this foolish disciple of his wouldn't get hit in a vital spot; escaping successfully would be good enough.
As for slaughter... heh... It's good for him to dream.
However, even he felt a bit of trepidation now; after all, the speed at which that youth grew was absurd and rarely seen in the world.
"No..."
Yan Shaozhe's expression suddenly paused. He looked outside the Sea Gods' Pavilion; the originally calm, light blue sky now seemed to be stirring up a catastrophe, gradually turning into red clouds.
The entire ground of the Sea Gods' Pavilion began to tremble slightly.
It was as if an earth dragon were rolling and roaring.
"This is..." Yan Shaozhe's figure flashed, appearing above the Sea Gods' Pavilion, gazing at the terrifying existence whistling over from afar, passing through layers of clouds.
It was a fiery red arrow, transforming into a massive phantom of a three-legged golden crow. It was vivid and lifelike, carrying a monstrous sea of fire, roaring as it charged toward the Sea Gods' Pavilion.
Everything along its path was burned into nothingness.
Even space seemed to be pierced through.
Gulp~
Yan Shaozhe's throat rolled. His eyes reflected the crimson sky, filled with dullness and confusion.
The arrow arrived outside the Sea Gods Pavilion in an instant. It was like a great sun.
As Shrek Academy disciples looked up—some startled, some shocked, some with disbelieving eyes—it smashed fiercely toward the area of the Sea Gods' Pavilion.
"Ahhh!"
Yan Shaozhe's level 95 combat power was fully displayed, but facing this great sun, his expression was ferocious. He struggled to raise his hands, supporting its downward momentum.
A Bright Phoenix phantom was forced out behind him; this was his... Martial Soul Avatar.
The giant sun was scorching hot, burning his hands and the wings of the Phoenix behind him. Pain forced him to roar in anger, and the Phoenix Avatar behind him also let out a cry of sorrow.
"Sigh..."
Mu En hunched his back and slowly stood up from his golden wheelchair. His eyes reflected this scene of destruction, filled with a hint of complexity.
Perhaps it was regret, perhaps it was something else.
"Enough… Isn't taking one of Xuan Zi's eyes enough? With such power, he has probably broken through to the realm of Titled Douluo. And... is he trying to demand an explanation for that girl Lexuan?"
"Elder Mu!" Xuan Zi stood to the side, one eye wrapped in white cloth, the other filled with solemnity.
Thud...
A muffled sound rang out.
Mu En leaned on his long cane and tapped the ground gently. A golden ripple spread from under his feet.
The entire ancient golden tree emitted rays of dazzling golden brilliance, as if it had come alive. An invisible golden ripple completely shrouded the entire Sea God Island.
Rumble!
The giant sun touched the golden barrier.
It emitted a tremor that shook the earth.
Meanwhile, Yan Shaozhe clutched his chest, bloodless, staggering as he flapped his wings and landed beside Mu En.
When he looked up at the giant sun again, his eyes were full of shock.
He knew exactly who had shot this giant sun.
Naturally, it was that little beast he had just mentioned, the one he swore to take the life of when they met again.
But now... the power of a single arrow had nearly killed him.
His face was not only pale but also showed an incredulous, ashen color.
Boom!
Mu En gave a light hum and tapped his wooden staff on the ground again.
The energy emitted from the golden ancient tree became even stronger, forcibly blocking the giant sun outside. The giant sun finally could not hold on and burst open. The scorching aftermath roasted nearly half of the entire Sea God Lake, and the water level dropped rapidly.
Mu En lowered his eyelids and gave a light hum.
"He does have some skills..."
...
Inner Court.
Watching this scene that almost triggered a heavenly phenomenon, a graceful girl with a beautiful figure, dressed in fiery red clothes, poked her head out from the room, watching this scene with her mouth agape.
"This is... Lu Cheng!"
The iconic Three-Legged Golden Crow was known to everyone in the Inner Court, but few had seen its true appearance—the Great Sun.
When the Golden Crow transformed into the Great Sun, they were finally able to glimpse the true worth of the former Great Devil King of Shrek's Inner Court.
However, unlike the exclamation, regret, or even solemnity of Ruo Mu, Han Ruoruo, and others, Ma Xiaotao's crimson eyes were sparkling, and she even swallowed her saliva.
Her heart had long since drifted away.
"Wait for me, Senior Brother... I will eventually come to the Holy Spirit Cult to find you." The girl secretly made up her mind.
"As for Shrek Academy, Teacher and Elder Mu have long since handed it over to Senior Sister Lexuan. She is of the Righteous Path, but I am different... I can be righteous or evil. Wherever you are, Senior Brother, that is the Righteous Path."
...
"Level 83."
Lu Cheng looked at Zhang Lexuan, who had just finished absorbing the Blood-Eroding Python and was only revealing her head, soaking in the spring water. Even with all the whale rubber, medicinal baths, and absorbing a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast as her eighth Soul Ring that he had fed her over the years, it was still a considerable burden on her body.
That was why Xiao Huo had suggested letting her come to soak in a derivative hot spring of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. The spring water here had the effect of enhancing the physical body, clearing meridians, and nourishing roots, which was more conducive to Zhang Lexuan's recovery.
Unlike in the original work, where she had to lie in bed for five years after absorbing it before slowly recovering, today's Zhang Lexuan was much better off.
But... it was not enough to survive in this cruel world.
It was simply not enough.
He would help her clear all obstacles and future hidden dangers, but the premise was... her strength could not be too weak either.
"Do you want to kill me?"
Lu Cheng sat cross-legged on the stone by the spring, smiling as he examined the recuperating Zhang Lexuan.
The beauty in the spring was indifferent, still closing her eyes and absorbing the energy in the spring water.
"Tsk tsk, the intent to kill is not enough..." Lu Cheng touched his chin.
"The hatred for me is also not enough…. In that case, the speed of strength improvement is too slow. When will you be able to become the whetstone for my path to the peak realm? Girl, I cannot wait for you for too long.
Since that's the case, let me increase the intensity for you."
Lu Cheng's mouth curled up.
The black pupils in his eyes gradually turned blood-red, with complex patterns coiled on them, becoming increasingly eerie and enchanting.
Meanwhile.
Zhang Lexuan opened her eyes suddenly.
Everything around her seemed to spin. Her hands and feet shrank, and she struggled to climb up. Where was the spring? Everything around her was clearly an antique-style residence.
Her eyes gradually widened in understanding.
This... was her home!
Notes:
She got the Sasuke treatment fr; no wonder chapter 2's title is Radish Head.
