Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 72 We at iHistory don't provoke trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either!

After saying this, Huo Yuhao began to deploy tactics. A moment later, Jing Hongchen led them out of the hotel and headed to Xingluo Square. Today they would continue the academy round-robin tournament. If they won, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy would be able to advance to the next round.

Shrek Academy.

Mu En lay back in his chair, looking at the Sea God Lake not far away, and said calmly, "Shao Zhe, do you think I've been too lenient with Xuan Zi all this time?"

Shrek Academy has been caught cheating, but Xuanzi, in order to cover it up, chose to have the academy withdraw from the competition! Even in Shrek Academy's history, this is unprecedented. To be honest, I think he went too far.

Yan Shaozhe stood behind Mu En, a helpless expression on his face. He forced himself to explain, "Teacher, Elder Xuan was actually thinking about the academy's eternal glory."

As for Mu En's suggestion of indulgence, Yan Shaozhe thought to himself, how could they not indulge him? After all, Elder Xuan was the second strongest in Shrek Academy, and once Mu En died, Elder Xuan would have to take over as the head of the Sea God Pavilion to deter the villains!

Of course, Yan Shaozhe hoped that Mu En could live a little longer, partly because he didn't want his teacher to die, and partly because he wasn't entirely confident in Xuanzi's current abilities.

These days, news of Shrek Academy's "rigged" experience in the Soul Fighting Tournament has reached the academy, causing widespread outrage. Everyone wants to demand an explanation from the Star Luo Empire.

Yan Shaozhe knew the truth about the so-called "behind-the-scenes" incident, but he couldn't reveal it. If the truth were exposed, Shrek Academy's reputation would be damaged.

This was something he didn't want to see.

"The so-called eternal glory is just an invisible shackle that binds each of us. Compared to eternal glory, I think the growth of children is more important!"

Moon sighed, then stretched out his hand and pointed to a group of students near the Sea God Lake. "Look at these children, bound by ten thousand years of glory, what have they become?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe immediately looked in the direction Mu En pointed. The Shrek Academy students had already unfurled banners with simple slogans: "We resolutely say no to the shady dealings in this year's Soul Fighting Tournament! We at Shrek Academy don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either!"

The students walked along holding banners, making it look like a parade, and chanted slogans such as, "We will defend Shrek's honor to the death!"

Yan Shaozhe stared at the scene for a moment, then said, "Teacher, this is only because the students are proud of Shrek Academy, so they did this."

However, I must say that, according to Shrek tradition, those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre. I will specifically seek out these students later to correct their misconceptions about avoiding trouble.

Mu En shook his head and sighed, "Don't you find it ironic? The academy was clearly at fault first, but because of your cover-up, the Star Luo Empire, the organizer, is now taking the blame. Even though they've arranged for someone to take the blame, it still can't quell the students' anger."

"The students' feelings for the academy are genuine. If one day they learn the truth about the so-called conspiracy, the glorious image of Shrek Academy in their hearts will suddenly collapse!"

Once one lie is told, more lies are needed to cover it up! But falsehoods will eventually be exposed!

Yan Shaozhe thought about it carefully for a while. He knew that Mu En's words made sense, but now the academy was in a dilemma. It couldn't just expel Xuanzi and then issue a statement to immediately sever ties with Xuanzi!
Doing so would essentially shift the blame entirely onto Xuanzi.

Although the blame truly lies with Xuanzi, even Mu En wouldn't completely absolve him of responsibility. Xuanzi is the pillar of strength he left for Shrek Academy, and he cannot afford to fail him! Therefore, even though Xuanzi makes mistake after mistake, Mu En can only tolerate it! Otherwise, given Xuanzi's numerous crimes, even if he, as the head of the Sea God Pavilion, is as composed as he is, he would severely punish Xuanzi!
Yan Shaozhe could only respectfully say, "Teacher, I cannot see the distant future like you. I can only try my best to seize the present! Even if this is a lie, for the sake of Shrek Academy, I can only do my best to make it real!"

Mu En was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Alright, Shao Zhe, you've grown up and have your own opinions. Before the Soul Fighting Tournament ends, go to Star Luo City and discuss the exchange student matter with the people from Sun Moon."

"Exchange Students?"

"Yes, I once went to Sun Moon Island. The development of soul tools there shocked me. There are even soul tools that can threaten my life now."

Without a doubt, the era of soul tools is about to truly arrive. In this wave of change, even Shrek Academy cannot remain unaffected. Therefore, I hope that the students of the academy can learn some advanced soul tool knowledge at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Yan Shaozhe was somewhat surprised to hear these words. In fact, he had always looked down on soul tools, since even the strongest soul tool was ultimately just an external force. He never expected that a soul tool that could threaten a level 99 Limit Douluo would actually appear.

After a moment's thought, Yan Shaozhe immediately replied respectfully, "Yes, teacher!"

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you, Shao Zhe. I trust you to handle things."

Xingluo Plaza.

The audience area was crowded with people, and a cacophony of voices could be heard from there.

Xu Jiawei looked at everyone and, using his amplified soul tool, announced, "Today's Soul Battle Tournament will proceed as scheduled. Adhering to the principles of fairness and impartiality, a new rule regarding soul tools has been specifically added."

He then went on to explain the new regulations for soul tools.

Undoubtedly, this new regulation restricting soul-guided cannons immediately caused a huge uproar, and many viewers began to discuss it. However, Xu Jiawei also knew that these people were just grumbling temporarily and would not actually have any impact on the overall situation.

Xuanzi stood beside Xu Jiawei, drinking his wine while squinting his eyes, a look of comfort on his face. For him, standing beside Xu Jiawei was not to protect his safety, but to find a good vantage point.

Standing atop the imperial city wall, one can have a clear view of the competition arena below, and thus clearly see whether the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is cheating.

If the other party cheats, then I won't be polite!

Near the competition venue.

At this moment, Ma Rulong, the team captain, returned after drawing lots. "Our opponent is the Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy. They are the number one Soul Master Academy in the Douling Empire and can be considered a strong team. However, they are still not strong enough to face our Sun Moon team."

"Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy." Huo Yuhao recalled the academy briefly. He remembered that the academy's trump card was the Thunder Cannon, but in the end, the academy failed to use it.
