Chapter 612: Chapter 48: The Murderer, Xuan Zi_1

And at this moment, after hearing the loud cries from many Yun Luo Academy teachers.

Everyone, both inside and outside the arena, was shocked.

What's going on?

It seems that the real reason Yun Luo Academy didn't participate in the Soul Master contest is different from what we imagined?

Looking at the bloodstains covering the people's bodies, everyone had a bad premonition in their hearts.

"Stop!"

Atop the city walls, Xu Jiawei's angry shout, like a thunderclap, echoed throughout the area.

It was extremely effective.

The guards and Yun Luo Academy teachers stopped their actions at the same time.

Thud, thud, thud, the teachers from Yun Luo Academy knelt down one after another, weeping in sorrow, "Your Majesty, we beseech you to grant justice to Yun Luo Academy!"

Atop the walls, Xu Jiawei, with a stern expression, demanded, "Speak, what exactly happened to Yun Luo Academy?"

"This morning, when the dean was giving the final rallying call to the students, suddenly powerful attackers assaulted Yun Luo Academy, causing massive casualties…"

"And the outcome?"

"The dean and those dozen or so children all tragically lost their lives… Such vibrant youths, they left this world too soon; it's just too terrible."

"And the dean, a venerable Seventh-Level Soul Master, who had produced a great number of soul tools for the Empire and also shed blood on the battlefield for the Empire."

Boom!

Hearing the words of the teachers from Yun Luo Academy, Xu Jiawei was struck as if by lightning, his body involuntarily shook.

It was evident how severe the impact of this event was on him.

Because Yun Luo Academy was also one of the pillar academies of the Xingluo Empire.

This academy had contributed countless elite-level Soul Masters to the Empire, its contributions were immense.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Dean Zhang dared to break his word and, alone, storm into the imperial palace to confront Xu Jiawei about the broken promise showed how much importance the other side had.

But now...

"Who committed such a heinous act?"

Xu Jiawei, gritting his teeth, asked coldly.

He was now on the verge of a rampage.

Finding the murderer and tearing him to pieces was what he most wanted to do at that moment.

"We don't know who it was. After the attack, the assailant fled."

"Before the incident, we had heard the sound of a cow's moo…"

"But we believe this matter certainly cannot be unrelated to Shrek Academy."

As they spoke, they glared angrily at the many students from Shrek.

Beibei, Jiang Nannan, and the others immediately looked alarmed.

They were all those who had experienced the incident at Ming Dou Mountain Range and remembered the mooing sound that Xuan Zi had made when activating his Martial Soul...

Could it be that the person was Xuan Zi?

Xu Sanshi, unabashedly rude, retorted, "What are you looking at?

Even if your eyes fell to the ground, the death in your academy has nothing to do with us. If you try to sling mud at us, at least present some evidence."

For a moment, the people from Yun Luo Academy were left speechless.

When it came to evidence, they truly had none.

"What kind of behavior does Shrek Academy have, do we need to spell it out for you?"

"It must have been a strong person from Shrek Academy who, afraid that you wouldn't be able to advance, cruelly struck down our Yun Luo Academy."

The teachers from Yun Luo Academy countered.

They were convinced it was someone from Shrek Academy.

"Your Majesty, we beseech your discernment."

Above on the city walls.

Xu Jiawei's expression was changing unpredictably.

Like everyone from Shrek, the first person he thought of was Xuan Zi, the owner of the Gluttonous God Bull Martial Soul.

Especially that cow's moo, which fit Xuan Zi's identity all too well.

However, the pressing matter was to carry on with the Soul Master contest.

Xu Jiawei said in a grave tone, "Rest assured about this matter, I will definitely explain it to Yun Luo Academy. For now, leave the arena and let the contest continue."

"But..."

The teachers from Yun Luo Academy hesitated.

"Didn't you hear His Majesty's words?"

At that moment, Dai Hao stood up and rose into the air, looking down at them from above, "You should know that disrupting the Soul Master competition without authorization is a serious crime. Even if His Majesty ordered your execution, it would be within reason."

"This..."

Their faces turned pale in an instant.

They all sensed the threatening tone in Dai Hao's words.

And facing a Titled Douluo-level expert, they neither had the confidence nor the courage.

"Alright."

They looked at each other and could only helplessly compromise.

Then, led by two Soul Masters, the group walked further and further away.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's turn our attention back to the arena.

Let us welcome the next group of contestants with warm applause."

The referee tried to liven up the mood in the arena.

However.

His words fell on deaf ears, as the audience seemed more interested in the recent incident.

"Damn right, the ticket price was worth it today."

"I originally thought Yun Luo Academy was bribed, I admit I was wrong about them."

"Shrek is ruthless, directly sending an expert to annihilate the competition."

"I've seen it all now; so the Soul Master competition can be operated like this."

"Is this the style of Soul Land's number one academy? It truly refreshes my understanding."

"Heh, those who obey me prosper and those who defy me perish, with such tactics, what's the difference between them and evil Soul Masters?"

The audience didn't care about the truth of the matter.

They just pushed the narrative towards the outcome they wanted to see.

Beibei, Jiang Nannan, Dai Huabin, and the others just felt their cheeks burning.

Gossip was like a knife brutally stabbing into their hearts.

Even if they won this match, it felt worse than if they had lost.

"Kids, let's go back to the hotel first," Wang Yan led the Shrek group away from the competition grounds.

At the same time, the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy also left under Elder Ma's guidance.

After that, other academies left in succession as well.

The events of today warranted a thorough discussion on how to deal with the situation.

...

"Your Majesty, after the investigation, many people around Yun Luo Academy heard that bull's cry. The teachers from Yun Luo Academy didn't lie about that,"

"Furthermore, we also surveyed the scene and discovered no excess signs of fighting. We can confirm that the dean of Yun Luo Academy, a Level 83 Soul Douluo and a Seventh-Level Soul Master, had no power to resist the murderer and was subdued in one move. What followed was a brutal slaughter."

Within the imperial palace, Xu Jiawei listened quietly to Dai Hao's narration.

His expression grew darker and darker.

"Based on the above, I can confirm that the person responsible for the Yun Luo Academy tragedy must be a Titled Douluo-level expert.

And not just any ordinary Titled Douluo, but definitely someone whose strength far surpasses me."

Dai Hao doubted that even he could effortlessly kill the dean of Yun Luo Academy.

"Your Majesty, the reputation of Yun Luo Academy is rather good, and the dean is a humble and courteous person who hasn't provoked any super-powerful beings.

Therefore, I boldly speculate that the murderer is likely one of the representatives from Shrek Academy, the Gluttonous Douluo, Xuan Zi!"

Xuan Zi... After hearing this, Xu Jiawei's expression became frightfully grim.

Was there even a need for guesses at this moment?

After he informed Xuan Zi that Yun Luo Academy had changed its mind, that's when Yun Luo Academy ran into trouble.

How could there be so many coincidences in the world?

He was absolutely certain; it was that old bastard Xuan Zi who had taken such ruthless action.


Chapter 613: Chapter 49 Tournament Ends_1

"What a Gluttonous Douluo, what a Xuan Zi!"

The voice of Xu Jiawei was icy cold, as if it was squeezed out through clenched teeth.

If it weren't for Xuan Zi's overwhelming strength and his exceptionally noble status at Shrek Academy, he really wanted to send Dai Hao to capture Xuan Zi immediately and behead him for all to see.

You must know that the ones Xuan Zi killed were not only rivals of Shrek Academy but also the hope of the Xingluo Empire.

Originally, due to Shrek Academy, talents from the Heavenly Soul, Xingluo, and Dou Spirit Empires all left their home countries to study at Shrek.

Talents who could already become Soul Ancestors or even Soul Kings before the age of twenty were rare indeed.

Yet today, Xuan Zi went as far as to kill fourteen in one go and also cut down a Soul Douluo who could be considered the pillar of society.

Counting this, Xu Jiawei felt so heartbroken that he struggled to breathe.

Who knows how many of those children could normally have become Soul Douluos, not to mention Titled Douluos?

Or to say, how many could become Sixth-Level, Seventh-Level Soul Masters?

Maybe one Soul Sage does not significantly enhance an empire.

But a Seventh-Level Soul Master is a strategic weapon.

To produce a fixed Seventh-Level Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon would take only a few days...

"Your Majesty, shall we now make Xuan Zi's actions public and let the people of the world know of his crimes?"

Dai Hao couldn't help but ask.

Xu Jiawei shook his head, "Let's not, for now. If it must be done, let's wait until after the Soul Master tournament is over; otherwise, the impact would be too significant."

He really wanted Xuan Zi to fall from grace.

But acting now would also bring trouble to the Xingluo Empire.

So, it's better to wait.

"Yes."

Dai Hao nodded, then after seeing the somewhat distracted Xu Jiawei and uttering a wish for his well-being, he left.

However.

The moment he disappeared from the great hall,

Princess Xu Jiujiu, dressed in a bright red dress, walked out from a side chamber of the great hall.

"Elder brother."

Her pretty face was also exceedingly solemn.

She had heard the conversation between Xu Jiawei and Dai Hao.

As the princess of Xingluo, she too could understand Xu Jiawei's worries.

"Jiujiu, Shrek Academy has truly gone too far this time."

In front of his sister, Xu Jiawei no longer restrained the fury in his heart.

"What do they take themselves for? Sole rulers of Soul Land?"

"Do they really see the Douluo Three Kingdoms as mere vassals, to be manipulated as they please, killing wantonly within our borders without fearing the consequences?"

Xu Jiawei's face contorted with rage.

Like a lion gone mad.

"Fine, even if the Douluo Three Kingdoms need Shrek's help to contend against the Sun-Moon Empire, that should only amount to a partnership."

"Our forbearance signifies our magnanimity, not that we lack temper."

After listening to Xu Jiawei's rant, Xu Jiujiu's brows slightly furrowed.

Not to mention other aspects, in Xu Jiawei's words, she heard a deep sense of grievance.

An emperor of a nation has been driven to such a state, which clearly shows how outrageous Shrek had been.

"Elder brother, just like you said earlier, what can we do right now?

We still can't confront Shrek directly, so we have to endure for now.

I also suggest that we report Xuan Zi's actions directly to Shrek and ask them to handle it. Perhaps that's the best choice."

Thinking about Xuan Zi's power, Xu Jiujiu felt a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart.

Such an important person was beyond their ability to deal with; it was better left to Shrek.

"That's a good idea, I also want to see if Shrek Academy can give me a satisfactory explanation."

Having vented his frustration and with the counsel of Xu Jiujiu, Xu Jiawei had calmed down quite a bit.

"Elder brother, there's another matter..."

"What is it? Just speak frankly."

"I want to ask how should we arrange Shrek Academy's next opponent?"

Xu Jiujiu asked with some concern, "After such an incident, no one can guarantee the future opponents of Shrek won't also encounter such a massacre."

Xu Jiawei heard this and paused.

This was indeed a problem.

Who knows if Xuan Zi will go mad and attack Shrek Academy's upcoming opponents?

Just thinking about it, Xu Jiawei felt that the possibility was very high.

After a deep breath, Xu Jiawei said solemnly, "I cannot let the people of the Xingluo Empire be victimized any longer. Hence, in the following matches, Shrek Academy's opponents, no matter what, cannot be from the Xingluo Empire."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Xu Jiujiu, already having a plan in mind, "At a time like this, we can only impose hardship on the academies of the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Dou Spirit Empire. The Three Kingdoms of Douluo are connected, it's time to share some of the burden with them."

Xu Jiujiu heard this and nodded slightly, indicating her understanding.

What Xu Jiawei said was correct.

It was indeed time for the other two nations to share some of the burden.

After all, Xuan Zi was like a mad dog, unpredictable and dangerous.

...

Meanwhile,

Wang Yan led Wang Dong, Dai Huabin, Beibei, and the rest of the Shrek group back to their hotel.

Though they had won the day's match, no one had a trace of joy on their faces for the victory.

As the group entered the room, Xu Sanshi could no longer contain his emotions. He burst out with a curse, "Damn it, this feels worse than a loss; it was a hollow victory."
