Chapter 211: A Basin of Cold Water

Zhang Lexuan's words were light, but they were also very heavy.

As the Inner Court Senior Sister who was cultivated by Mu En since childhood, she could well understand Mu En's worries and concerns.

A country that has been established for ten thousand years is like a person's old age, plagued by illness and rotten pillars, and so is an academy.

Shrek Academy's starting point is too high, with the precedent of the seven god ancestors. In the long run, everyone in the academy, whether students, teachers, or even the old masters, will be influenced and corrupted by this prosperous appearance. The higher the status of Shrek Academy, the more serious this influence will be, and the mentality and judgment of the academy's top management will gradually deviate from the right track.

Just like this so-called ten-thousand-year glory, Zhang Lexuan once personally experienced the influence brought by Shrek Academy's educational philosophy and model. Most people's obsession and emphasis on it deepened during the continuous understanding process, and in the end, they were even willing to pay their lives for it. Perhaps she almost became one of them, but thinking about it now, is it really a good thing to have this so-called ten-thousand-year glory? At least Zhang Lexuan doesn't want to comment on it.

Now she and Han Ruoruo appeared here, partly because of their background, and partly because they couldn't bear the juniors to attach too much importance to this, so that they would eventually fail and affect themselves...

In the end, although she left Shrek Academy, she is not Han Ruoruo after all. She still has a lot of feelings and expectations for Shrek Academy, whether it is the Dragon God Douluo Mu En, or the campus that accompanied her to grow up bit by bit. Just like most geniuses or powerhouses from Shrek Academy, under that educational philosophy and model that is close to brainwashing, they will be affected to some extent.

Han Ruoruo on the side just kept silent. Compared with Zhang Lexuan, she really didn't care so much about Shrek Academy, because she still had a powerful family behind her. The purpose of going to Shrek to study was actually similar to Ling Luochen's, all to become stronger.

For example, Ling Luochen, if Shu Yan and others hadn't helped solve the trouble at the beginning, the Ling family would have completely fallen into the hands of others. Having lost the final obsession with her grandfather and even the family, would she return to the Ling family after breaking through to the Titled Douluo or even the Super Douluo in the future with her personality? Such a possibility would be very small. Her future would probably be to stay in Shrek Academy to become an old master, and then dedicate her life to Shrek, because except for Shrek Academy, there seems to be no better place in the world.

Everyone present heard Zhang Lexuan's words clearly. The room was quiet for a while. Since the confidence and encouragement brought by the initial victory, their state had been very good, but after a few days, starting from the current situation, they could also perceive that their prospects were indeed not optimistic...

Wang Yan, sitting on the sofa, slowly clenched his fists. This was his first time leading a team to participate in the Soul Fighting Tournament, and as a result, such a big accident happened not long after they set off. Now that he was poured a basin of cold water by Zhang Lexuan, honestly, it would be strange if his mood was good. The ultimate factor for everything was also that so-called ten-thousand-year glory...

But before he could speak, Huo Yuhao, who was already squeezed on the other sofa with Wang Dong, suddenly said: "Senior Sister, the tournament has just passed the knockout stage. Although our combat power has been greatly reduced due to the last accident, Xuan Lao has returned to the academy to move reinforcements. As long as the support arrives, Sister Xiaotao and the others will be able to form powerful combat power in a short time. And before Xuan Lao brings support, for the glory of the academy, we will strive for victory by all means!"

Huo Yuhao said this with force, and his firm expression mobilized the emotions of almost everyone present. Wang Dong, sitting beside him, slapped Huo Yuhao's thigh hard, and then followed up:

"That's right, no matter what, we will go all out. What's more, with Yuhao's previous deterrence, the opponents we encounter later might be timid before fighting. No matter what, Shrek will never be defeated in our generation."

Listening to everyone's words in his ears, but every sentence did not leave that so-called glory, a trace of dimness flashed in Zhang Lexuan's eyes. She sighed imperceptibly, looked at Han Ruoruo beside her, and both of them had bitter smiles, and neither of them took the initiative to speak again.

After a while, Wang Yan interrupted the discussion of several people. His eyes looked deeply at Zhang Lexuan, but trembled slightly when he touched Han Ruoruo, who was as beautiful as a mountain in spring. Then he quickly restrained his emotions and asked: "Lexuan, if I remember correctly, after you and Ruoruo graduated from the Inner Court, you joined the Star Luo Empire. I want to ask, do you know what kind of martial soul and strength the members of the Star Luo National Academy team of this generation have?"

In fact, in such a tournament, some news about the team members of each academy will be leaked, but there are exceptions. Under the deliberate blockade of some news, it is very difficult to inquire, because these are the trump cards of each academy and cannot be exposed to the outside world. But the seven people of the Star Luo National Academy team have been unknown until now. Although Luo Qinghan, who has played, is in a wheelchair, she has already shown the cultivation of a five-ring Soul King when releasing soul skills, but the other six, some of whom are even mysteries...

This sense of mystery will make people more worried. Thinking of the relationship between Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo and the academy, Wang Yan finally wanted to get more information from them for possible match arrangements later.

As soon as Wang Yan said this, Ma Xiaotao and the others, who were whispering, also looked over together, as if waiting for Zhang Lexuan and the other to answer.

Zhang Lexuan's expression restrained slightly, looked around, and her voice lowered a little. After a moment of silence, she said: "Xiaotao is now a Level 69 Soul Emperor, one step away from the Soul Sage realm. Yueheng is also a Soul Emperor, and Han Chen's Shaking Gold Rope martial soul is also a top-level weapon martial soul. If Xuan Lao can bring support, the lineup of two Soul Emperors and five Soul Kings is indeed not bad."

"But this is not enough. Although I was the previous Inner Court Senior Sister, I am now affiliated with the Star Luo Empire. I am willing to see you because I am grateful for the cultivation of the academy and Elder Mu, but I also have my bottom line. I will not say too much about detailed news, but I can clearly tell you that even if Xiaotao breaks through to Soul Sage now, it is still not enough to look at in the finals."

As soon as the words came out, everyone present was almost stunned, staring blankly at Zhang Lexuan.

Ma Xiaotao's strength is obvious to all, the Evil Fire Phoenix close to the Extreme Fire, and the soul power as high as Level 69. This martial soul and soul power level are definitely the top combat power in this tournament, but now Zhang Lexuan says that even if Ma Xiaotao breaks through to Soul Sage, it is not enough to look at, which makes everyone feel a bit absurd.

Ma Xiaotao, who had a fiery temper, was even more furious at this time and wanted to say something, but was pulled by Dai Yueheng, who had quick eyes and fast hands, on the side.

Originally, the departure of Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo was already a huge loss for the academy. If they had a dispute with the other party again, the original relationship bond would be damaged. Perhaps with the personalities of Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo, they would not care about her, but after returning to the academy, criticism would definitely be inevitable. Seeing Ma Xiaotao's indignant look, Han Ruoruo sighed softly. She didn't know if it was right or wrong to follow Zhang Lexuan to enlighten these juniors because of her soft heart today, but since she was already here, she was willing to say a few words.

"I know these words are not good to hear, but if it weren't for the fellowship of the same sect behind us, Lexuan and I would definitely not say a word more."

"Xiaotao's talent and strength are stunning, but the Star Luo National Academy team happens to have soul masters who completely restrain her ice attribute, and there is more than one."

"These are not all. You probably know some news about Qinghan. A five-ring mental-type Soul King, such strength is only the existence at the bottom of that team, not to mention that the captain of the Star Luo National Academy team has a special identity, and is also a Soul Sage. In terms of combat power, he can definitely suppress either me or Lexuan. Telling you this is more to fulfill the fellowship of the same sect, not wanting you to lose your potential and fighting spirit because of a failure..."

"Moreover, that person might also participate. I really can't imagine what level of power is needed to defeat him and win the championship... Forget it, do as you please. Alright, that's all for now. Lexuan, let's go."

Zhang Lexuan looked around at everyone again, sighed softly, and then got up to follow Han Ruoruo's pace.

After the two left, the room was quiet for a long time, so quiet that a needle could be heard. Until a moment later, Xu Sanshi, who was sitting on the side, said weakly: "If I heard correctly, Senior Sister Han said that there is a Soul Sage on the Star Luo side in this tournament?"

There was another silence, and then a crisp voice broke the silence.

"Yes, you heard it right, it is indeed a Soul Sage."

Organized and uploaded~~

Rarely, Jiang Nannan, who had always hated Xu Sanshi, took the initiative to speak this time.

Huo Yuhao and the others had their mouths slightly open, but felt their throats were astringent and couldn't speak.

They are only Soul Master cultivation now, let alone a Soul Sage with a martial soul true body, even a Soul King is enough for them to look up to. Now telling them that Star Luo National Academy has a Soul Sage? Doesn't this mean sentencing their previous ambitions to death...

Honestly, for a while, everyone had different thoughts, and even the impulsive Ma Xiaotao was quiet at this time.

An ice attribute soul master who can restrain her, honestly, there are really not many in the world, but for some reason, a person appeared in Ma Xiaotao's heart, and this person is exactly Ling Luochen, who gave up the identity of the Shrek Seven Devils.

A basin of cold water was poured down, and the original fighting spirit was extinguished by more than half.

Bei Bei, sitting on the side, also had a complex expression. Zhang Lexuan had been very good to him since he was a child, and she was a true elder sister like a mother. Bei Bei knew the agreement between his ancestor and her, but he didn't like Zhang Lexuan and had always regarded her as an elder sister. But the previous Zhang Lexuan was too obsessed. Looking at Zhang Lexuan again, she seemed to be much more relaxed. Although there was still a trace of sisterly care for her brother between her brows, it was already completely different from before.

After sighing, Bei Bei felt that Zhang Lexuan leaving Shrek Academy was not a bad thing. At least she untied the obsession in her heart, and she would not be trapped by love in her future life.

He and Dragon God Douluo Mu En both sincerely hoped that Zhang Lexuan could be happy. As for whether Zhang Lexuan would still be a Shrek person from now on, honestly, he didn't care much.

Wang Yan's hand on his knee clenched into a fist. His mood was also low, but seeing the appearance of everyone in the room, he could only cheer himself up and pour "chicken soup" for everyone again. No matter what, this was his duty as a team leader...

And the "that person" in Han Ruoruo's mouth, Wang Yan and everyone didn't know how to talk about it. The tone and expression of Han Ruoruo when she said this were shocking, and Zhang Lexuan's expression at that time also paused subconsciously. Obviously, this is an even more remarkable character...
