Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 127 Xuan Zi: Xu Sanshi, you are such an ungrateful person!
"This place is not far from the academy, so I have something to say in advance."

Xuanzi's attitude gradually became serious, as if it was coated with a layer of sacred light.

"Our Shrek Academy has a history of over ten thousand years. Generally speaking, a strong spirit master can live for at least two hundred years, or even longer. Almost every year, students pass the assessment and enter the inner courtyard of the academy, but currently, there are less than a hundred inner courtyard disciples remaining in the academy. Do you know why?"

Xu Sanshi and Beibei both knew why, but they kept silent and the atmosphere was silent for a moment.

Jiang Nannan promptly resolved Xuanzi's embarrassment: "Because the seniors all left after graduation."

Xuan Zi shook his head and said, "You are partially right, but I want to talk about the other part, those disciples who failed to graduate from the inner courtyard."

"They were all good children. Although they never truly graduated, their names are still on the academy's roster. They took the academy's ideals as their own. It's not that they lacked the ability to graduate, but they died fighting for the academy's ideals..."

Xu Sanshi's mouth twitched as he listened from below. He thought to himself that if I hadn't listened to my father point out some things at home, I might really be confused now.

Do the academy's ideals have anything to do with the gold soul coins we earn as students? To put it nicely, it's about fighting for ideals, but to put it bluntly, it's about tricking students into committing suicide while they themselves enjoy drinking and eating meat at home.

You old man have the ability to drink and eat meat. If you just walk around the mainland, you don’t know how many evil soul masters you can kill.

Although it may sound a bit morally kidnapping to say this, who asked you to set up an inspection team that can enforce the law in the three countries? You are the deputy head of the inspection team, right?
Even as Xu Sanshi was madly complaining, Xuanzi's sorrowful voice continued:

"Many students from the outer academy are actually qualified to enter the inner academy based on their abilities, but quite a few choose to leave after graduating from the outer academy."

"Because entering Shrek's inner courtyard not only means learning more and having better teachers, but also means shouldering a heavy responsibility. Those students who chose not to enter the inner courtyard believed that they could not bear this responsibility and left after swearing to keep it secret."

"The academy respects the choices of any student, but what I want to say is that all students who choose to enter the inner courtyard for further study are heroes. They are not heroes of the academy, but heroes of Douluo Continent."

Creating a tragic atmosphere, Xuan Zi swept his eyes over the seven reserve team members, whose faces were still somewhat childish, and said in a deep voice:

"It's undeniable that from the moment you became candidate disciples, you've already set foot in the Inner Court. But precisely because of this, I must confirm your willingness to shoulder the responsibilities that belong to the Inner Court before I truly take you out of the academy."

"If you don't want to, you can return to the academy now. No one will blame you. You will still study and graduate smoothly in the external college.

And I want to tell you, the Inner Court doesn't teach much more than the Outer Court. The Inner Court disciples' strength stems from that responsibility. If you choose to return, you must maintain the same confidentiality as those Outer Court students who chose to leave after graduation. Can you do that?"

Regardless of what the seven members of the reserve team thought, they all said "yes" at this moment.

Seeing this, Xuan Zi nodded with satisfaction and began to talk about the disputes on Douluo Continent, the origin of Shrek Inner Court and the existence of Shrek Supervisory Group.

"...The Inspection Mission is a huge test, and there is no reward; now, you can tell me your choice."

After finishing his passionate speech, Xuan Zi's solemn tone gradually relaxed.

At this time, Dai Yueheng, the captain of the regular team, stepped forward again and talked about the satisfaction and pride he and his team felt in exercising law enforcement powers that surpassed the three empires and conducting transnational law enforcement operations across the continent.

In his words, he expressed high recognition for the Shrek Supervisory Group, and his expression was filled with pride and a special glow, as if he was bathed in glory.

Xuanzi looked at Dai Yueheng with satisfaction. This is a good student in our inner courtyard. We can only feel truly at ease if such a person becomes the new Duke of White Tiger.

"Okay, now you need to give me an answer, join or quit."

"Join!" Six uniform voices rang out at the same time.

"Quit." A very small but firm voice sounded quietly.

Xuan Zi smiled happily: "Very good, I was right. None of you are cowards... Wait! Xu Sanshi, what did you just say?!"

The powerful pressure of the ninety-eighth level Super Douluo suddenly descended upon the little Xu Sanshi. The kind-looking Xuan Zi's temperament changed drastically, his white eyebrows raised, his eyes as cold as a knife, examining Xu Sanshi, the member of the Seven Monsters who had been chosen long ago.

I'm just saying this, and you actually dare to quit?!

You're in the reserve team and you still want to leave? Do we, the Shrek Seven Devils, just accept the position whenever we want and leave whenever we don't want?!

Beibei quickly stood in front of Xu Sanshi, pinched Xu Sanshi's mouth, and said to Xuanzi with an apologetic smile:

"Master Xuan, you heard wrong. Sanshi and I had a fight last night and his mind was confused. He must have said it wrong, wrong."

At the same time, Beibei desperately winked at Xu Sanshi: "Brother, you can't tell the occasion from the right perspective? In this situation, how can you refuse?"

You are asking for death by rejecting Master Xuan, the ninety-eighth level Super Douluo, in person!
There were seven people in the regular team, five in the reserve team, and one Wang Yan. Thirteen pairs of eyes were staring at Xu Sanshi, each with an unusual look.

However, Xu Sanshi was unmoved. Instead, he raised his voice even higher and looked Xuanzi straight in the eye and replied:

"I'm sorry, Elder Xuan, my family has other plans for my future training. I was planning to graduate from the Outer Court after this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament. I didn't realize I had to make such a decision before participating."

Xuanzi's expression immediately turned very ugly, his face livid, and he growled word by word:
"Xu Sanshi, do you still remember that you were one of Shrek Academy's designated Seven Devils? You received support and training from the academy, and now you want to just walk away?!"

Xu Sanshi said with a firm expression, "My father also told me about this. During my years of training at Shrek Academy, all the resources I consumed will be converted into cash and returned to Shrek." "If I have failed to live up to your expectations of me, I can only say sorry. But you also said just now that we can stay or go as we please, and I think this should be my right."

Having said that, Xu Sanshi saluted Xuanzi regardless of Beibei's suppression, and stuffed a golden soul card into Beibei's hand. The meaning was self-evident.

Xuan Zi's face darkened completely, and a deep sneer appeared on his face:

"Okay, I forgot you came from a noble family. Your father is the patriarch of the Xuanming Family. I wonder if you have achieved the status of a Titled Douluo?"

Xu Sanshi chuckled and said, "He just became a Titled Douluo a few years ago. His cultivation level is far inferior to yours, but he asked me to go back, so I have to go back, right?"

"You may know that our Xu family's martial spirit has some special features. Recently, they seem to have come up with something new and want me to graduate and go home.

If you don't like me, I will go back to the academy and pack up my things and leave immediately. I promise not to bother you."

This was a lie. The real reason was that Xu Fu got the Qirong Tongtianju from Xiao Changfeng, but he couldn't bear to eat it himself and planned to give it to Xu Sanshi; Xiao Changfeng also brought back a lot of herbs and planned to use them to make elixirs.

But the changes after taking the immortal herbs were too great, and it would be difficult to track him down if Shrek were to track him down.

Another reason was that several core figures of the Xuanming Sect were frightened by the ghost story of Xu Sanshi being invited into the Tang Sect. They were afraid that Xu Sanshi would change his surname to Tang instead of Xu when he came back next time, so they had to bring him home to keep an eye on him.

Xuan Zi was so angry at Xu Sanshi's reckless attitude that he gasped violently, but he couldn't lash out because of the presence of two generations of Shrek Seven Devils. For a moment, he just felt a tightness in his chest.

After all, he was the one who said, "You can return to the academy now, no one will blame you." He couldn't just ignore it, with so many people watching...

Seeing this, Dai Yueheng stepped forward and laughed to ease the atmosphere, then said to Xu Sanshi:
"Junior, you're so confused! Shrek is the number one academy on the continent. What kind of spirit can't we research?"

"I understand the limitations of your family, but what can compare to the teachings at our academy? Our academy has more than just Titled Douluo teachers; even the veterans who are Super Douluo are willing to provide guidance."

Xu Sanshi's eyes moved when he heard this, and he seemed to be lost in thought.

Dai Yueheng was about to try to smooth things over with a smile, but he didn't expect that the next sentence Xu Sanshi said when he looked up would freeze his smile on his face.

"But Senior, my family also has a Super Douluo. My grandfather is one. Moreover, the research of our Xuanming Sect's martial spirits is a secret that has never been discovered by other forces..."

"Didn't Master Xuan just say that? The teachings in the Inner Court aren't much more than those in the Outer Court. Being as powerful as you is all due to actual combat. So, with all due respect, my family can also arrange enough opponents for me."

Dai Yueheng: “…”

Super Douluo also has one at home, and it’s your grandfather. It’s so easy for him to say that!
And even if Elder Xuan said that there aren't many truly good things in the inner courtyard, you can't just say it so easily! What do you think of us who are about to complete our monitoring mission after risking our lives?
Is it all in vain that we sacrificed our lives and shed our blood?!

Xu Sanshi ignored him and continued to recount the Xuanming family genealogy, not stopping until his words were shocking:
"Besides, my family isn't limited to Super Douluo. My great-grandfather's generation also has some living Super Douluo. My great-grandfather is still in good health..."

These words made all the seven monsters except Beibei's face twitch. Dai Yueheng twitched especially hard, his teeth chattering, and he felt like a clown.

Great-grandfather, forget about great-great-grandfather? Is your Xuanming family a family of longevity? How many years must that old antique have lived? And how terrifying is his cultivation? Could he be a powerful being on the same level as Elder Xuan?
Oh right, his martial soul is the Mysterious Nether Turtle. Turtles are a species of longevity, so soul masters will definitely be affected and live longer...

"Ahem, everyone, this was actually an accident. I didn't want this to happen, did I?"

As if realizing that the family power he had inadvertently revealed was a bit too strong, Xu Sanshi coughed twice to avoid embarrassment, then patted his chest and assured:
"I swear in the name of my spirit that I won't tell anyone what I heard today. But to be honest, the Supervisory Group isn't exactly a secret; everyone outside knows about it."

"Also, I want to tell you all that I, Xu Sanshi, am not a coward. If you ever encounter an evil spirit master I can handle, just send me a letter and I'll definitely come to help. If I can't defeat them, forget it. I don't want to die in vain. It's better to improve my strength before fighting those evil spirit masters..."

"enough!!!"

Xuanzi was so angry that his hair and beard stood on end. He interrupted Xu Sanshi with a loud shout. With red eyes, he pointed at Xu Sanshi angrily and said:

"Xu Sanshi, have you really thought it through? Are you going to be a coward if you don't want to enter the inner courtyard?!"

Xu Sanshi shook his head and said sternly, "Master Xuan, I told you I'm not a coward. I just want to choose a different path of cultivation. I will never frown upon killing evil spirit masters."

"If you're still willing to let me go on this journey, I won't refuse, and I won't take a single step back on the field. Can't we just part ways amicably?"

Xuan Zi was about to explode, but Wang Yan quickly blocked his way and shouted the three words "Haotian Sect" to calm him down. Then he waved his hand to Xu Sanshi and said:
"Okay! Let's do this, you come with us and graduate from the outer courtyard after the competition."

Old Xuan was too confident and had no plans for accidents. There was no other way except to let Xu Sanshi participate in the competition. He was the student with the highest soul power in the reserve team. Even a fool knew that one could not exchange a Soul Master for a High-level Soul Sect.

"Hmph! I'm in a bad mood, so I'll leave first. You guys can come to Mingdou Mountains to meet me!" After saying these words in a fiery anger, Xuanzi snorted coldly and flew into the sky.

Shaozhe was absolutely right to stop you from becoming one of the Seven Monsters. Xu Sanshi, you are such an ungrateful person!
After a moment, an innocent voice sounded from the spot.

"I think what Senior Sanshi said is not wrong. Why is Master Xuan so angry?"

Wang Yan looked over and his vision suddenly went dark. The person who said this was none other than Xiao Xiao, whom they had the highest hopes for!
