Chapter 164 Shrek's Edict of Self-Reproach

(No more 10,000 updates, my abilities are limited)

Just a few days after Moon made his arrangements, the fire spread to Shrek.

Information takes time to spread. Jing Hongchen started spreading the news from Mingdu that two Title Douluos of Shrek Academy had been killed in succession. It took almost a week for the news to gradually reach Shrek City.

This kind of news was not believed by many people at first, after all, it had been a long time since Shrek had had a case of one of their own people dying at the hands of outsiders.

Aside from the continental wars four thousand years ago, several Shrek members died in the wars.

However, since the war ended four thousand years ago and Shrek Academy established the Sea God Pavilion, 95% of the elders who entered the Sea God Pavilion died of old age, and the remaining 0.4% died due to various accidents, such as when they were hunting 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

Only the last remaining less than 0.1% of the elders died in battles against other titled individuals.

For example, like the battle between Mu En and Du Bisi, who died at the hands of their enemies, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion who died in this way were eventually dealt a severe blow by other Title Douluos from Shrek Academy.

Even at the very beginning of the battle, several titled Douluo were sent to observe, ostensibly to record the events.

In reality, only a power of the size of the Body Sect could deter the other Title Douluos of Shrek Academy from interfering. This made the battle between Mu En and Du Bisi relatively "fair," with Du Bisi ultimately dying from his severe injuries and Mu En becoming completely crippled.

What if we replaced them with titled Douluos from smaller or even no powerful factions?

You can just think about it carefully.

Under such circumstances, how many forces would dare to kill a Title Douluo from Shrek Academy?

They even killed two of them at once, and then spread the news all over the continent, as if afraid that Shrek Academy wouldn't know that their two titles had been killed. Wasn't this deliberately provoking Shrek Academy and waiting for them to come to their door for revenge?

But look at the source of this news.

Oh, Mingde Hall? Then it's alright, the intelligence is true.

Aside from the Body Sect, the Mingde Hall is probably the only force that has the resources to kill a Title Douluo from Shrek Academy and still dares to publicize it so openly. If the information comes from the Mingde Hall's proactive publicity, then it is absolutely true.

But the intelligence also says that Shrek Academy's two titled Douluo were killed by a seven-ring soul master from their Mingde Hall.

This further shrouds the veracity of the news in an elusive fog.

To verify the authenticity of the intelligence, forces large and small across the continent sent people into Shrek City to inquire about Shrek Academy, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Mu En and the other members of the Sea God Pavilion naturally learned of this news.

To this end, they even convened another meeting of the Sea God Pavilion.

Originally, everyone in the Sea God Pavilion, including Mu En, thought that the Sun Moon Empire wouldn't publicize this matter, since it would be tantamount to revealing Lin Nuo's existence, clearly telling the Douluo Three Kingdoms:

Our Sun Moon Empire has produced an incredibly powerful genius who can kill a nine-ringed being with only a seven-ringed being as easily as killing a chicken! You can all just wait to die. Once our super genius reaches the ninth ring, the end will be nigh for your three great empires!

When the time comes, we will definitely arrange for this super genius to knock on the doors of your three great empires one by one and kill them all!

Why don't we hurry up and assassinate him before he grows up?

Is this reasonable?

The existence of Huo Yuhao was something that Mu En and the other old men had to keep very secret, so that other forces wouldn't know that their Shrek Academy had a genius with twin martial souls that combined physical body and ultimate power, for fear that Huo Yuhao would die young.

Instead of playing by the rules, the Sun Moon Empire started playing its cards openly?

Their ingrained thinking caught Moon and his team off guard.

This resulted in them having no contingency plans whatsoever, and everyone's brains were completely disconnected by the sudden surge of public opinion.

A wave of waves has risen again.

So, what should we do in this situation?

Should they cover up the truth of the news and distort the shameful fact that two Title Douluos of Shrek Academy were killed by a Soul Saint? Or should they reveal the truth to the world, arousing a sense of crisis among the three great empires, and uniting them in their hatred to fight against the Sun Moon Empire alongside Shrek Academy?

"Announce it, don't hide it anymore," Moon decided.

"Elder Mu, this..." The elders of the Sea God Pavilion hesitated, after all, this was tantamount to tearing off Shrek's face and throwing it on the ground for Mingde Hall to use as a stepping stone.

This was something that the old guard, who valued Shrek's honor above all else, couldn't accept for a while.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Moon was truly exasperated: "How many times have I said it? You've all been held hostage by false honors, blinded by a mirage of prosperity! Wake up, everyone! We at Shrek Academy are already on the edge of a precipice!"

"Back in the last competition, I already reminded you not to equate the championship of a single competition with the honor of the academy. The honor of our academy has never been maintained by winning competitions!"

"The same applies now!"

"You have been standing on high for too long, and have forgotten what humility and the ability to assess the situation are! Admitting our mistakes and shortcomings will not destroy our honor, but will make us understand our shortcomings and give us the opportunity to improve and make up for them."

"Instead of doing what you are doing now, covering up mistakes, ignoring mistakes, and letting them fester like a boil, endlessly!"

"Do you understand?"

"Understood, Elder Mu—" The group of elders who had been scolded by Mu En bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes. Xuanzi's face turned completely red, like that of a young girl in the bloom of youth.

"Are you all mute? I'm asking you, do you understand?!" Moon slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily.

"Understood!!!"

Under Mu En's arrangement, Shrek Academy issued a statement, revealing to the world without reservation that Zhang Lexuan and her group were hunting souls in the Star Dou Great Forest when they encountered Lin Nuo and had two of them killed. Then, the Sea God Pavilion came to seek revenge, but they were killed two more times.

In this statement, Shrek Academy admitted its mistakes, acknowledging that it had underestimated the Sun Moon Empire's soul tools and soul masters, which led to its heavy losses.

However, the statement also mentioned that Shrek Academy will strive to catch up with Mingde Hall in terms of soul tools and will pay more attention to soul tools.

Furthermore, Shrek will remember this grudge and settle accounts with Mingde Hall sooner or later.

No one could change Moon's decision, so the statement was issued and spread in all directions, centered on Shrek.

This time, it truly shattered the world's stereotypes about Shrek.
