Chapter 159 Shrek's "Cession of Territory and Payment of Reparations"
Even though Dai Hao was a Contra master, he didn't really understand that duel, so he was completely baffled about Xuanzi's fate.
However, he had heard the analyses of Tian Sha Douluo and Ju Li Douluo before, and he thought they made a lot of sense.
Therefore, he said, "Elder Xuan should be out of danger; he's probably trapped by the Silver Moon Douluo's spatial abilities."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief; as long as they were alive, that was all that mattered.
Only Wang Yan remained frowning; compared to his students, he, as the teacher, clearly had more issues to consider.
"I'm back!"
Suddenly, a shout rang out.
The silence of Xingluo Square was instantly broken as everyone saw two figures suddenly appear in the sky above the square, namely Kong Deming and his grandson Kong Xuan.
Kong Xuan floated down from mid-air and returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team.
The crowd immediately gathered around, chattering and asking about Kong Xuan's situation.
Kong Xuan said loudly, "Don't worry, everyone, I'm fine."
After saying this, he looked at Kong Ling and Meng Hongchen, who had come closer to him.
Seeing their slightly reddened eyes, she raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her younger sister Kong Ling's eyes: "Why are you still crying?"
Kong Ling said in a tearful voice, "Brother! You scared me to death! I thought..."
Meng Hongchen's voice choked with sobs: "We thought we'd never see you again. Where did this Title Douluo come from that actually attacked you?"
Kong Xuan held Meng Hongchen's slightly cool hand, and looked at the curious gazes of the people around them, but did not tell them the truth.
He casually remarked, "I don't know which faction's Title Douluo he was, but he's already been wiped out by my grandfather!"
"Your Majesty, Silver Moon!"
At this moment, a shout attracted everyone's attention, causing them to shift their gaze away from Kong Xuan.
It was Wang Yan who spoke!
Although he was only a Soul King, he still had the sense of responsibility he needed in crucial moments.
As the teacher leading the Shrek Academy team, he was now eager to know about Xuanzi's situation.
Seeing Kong Deming cast his gaze, Wang Yan took a deep breath and mustered his courage to ask, "Your Majesty, may I ask how Elder Xuan of my academy is doing now?"
Kong Deming glanced at Wang Yan. Even if Wang Yan didn't ask, he would have brought it up himself. After all, he couldn't keep Xuanzi detained forever, nor could he kill him directly.
Kong Dongmei remained calm, but said in a slightly cold tone, "Xuanzi attacked the teachers of my Sun Moon Yellow Royal Soul Master Academy, and then disregarded his status to bully the weak and try to take down my grandson. I have captured him and am preparing to punish him slightly."
Kong Deming's voice reached the ears of everyone in Xingluo Square, and everyone who heard it felt a tremor in their heart.
This statement came across as casual, as if the person being punished was merely an ordinary Soul Master.
But in reality, this is a level 98 Super Douluo!
Kong Deming's relaxed tone made them feel his confidence in his own strength, and his previous performance was enough to demonstrate his power.
A sense of humiliation rose in Wang Yan's heart, but he was unable to refute it.
It wasn't just because of Kong Deming's formidable strength, but also because he felt that Xuanzi's previous actions had gone too far.
Xuanzi has reaped what he sowed, handing over his weakness to others!
"Elder Xuan did act impulsively, but he is a senior member of the academy. I wonder how Your Majesty Silver Moon can release Elder Xuan?"
Wang Yan, quick-witted, guessed that Kong Deming must have had a purpose in capturing Xuanzi, so he took the initiative to steer the conversation toward that.
However, Kong Deming did not continue on this topic, but instead asked, "I heard that Shrek Academy intends to exchange students with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy?"
"That's right!"
Wang Yan nodded; it was he who had told Ren Jun this news.
But for the others in the square, the news was indeed quite explosive.
They never expected that the two colleges would actually "cooperate"!
Especially Xu Jiawei, the Star Luo Emperor on the city wall, became solemn upon hearing the news, his eyes filled with doubt, wondering what Shrek Academy was up to.
Kong Deming already had a plan in mind, and immediately said, "In that case, let the Shrek Academy people go to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to discuss how to redeem your elder, and also discuss the exchange of students between the two sides."
This proposal was finalized on Kong Xuan's journey back to Xingluo.
What does the word "redemption" represent?
This represents "ceding territory and paying reparations"!
When has Shrek Academy ever suffered such humiliation?!
These two words deeply stung the hearts of all the Shrek members present. Their expressions were filled with resentment and anger, and they etched this moment into their memories.
Wang Yan clenched his fists; given the current situation, he had no choice but to compromise.
"I will relay Her Majesty Silver Moon's message back to the academy for a decision!"
Compared to the arrogance that Kong Deming had imagined Shrek Academy would have, Wang Yan's attitude pleased him greatly. He reminded him, "Remember to send someone who can take charge. I don't want just a mouthpiece to come."
Wang Yan solemnly said, "This junior has remembered it. Please treat Elder Xuan well during this time, Your Majesty."
It would have been better if Wang Yan hadn't mentioned it, because the mere mention of it made Kong Deming think of how Xuanzi dared to lay a hand on his precious grandson, and he immediately felt a surge of anger.
He sneered, "Don't worry, with Xuanzi's cultivation level, he won't be affected even if he goes hungry for a few days."
Upon hearing this, the Shrek Academy members' expressions changed. Other Super Douluo could go without food for a few days without any problems, but Xuanzi's situation was not necessarily the same.
For Xuanzi, eating was the most important thing.
However, thinking back to how Xuanzi almost caused their entire army to be wiped out while searching for food, they felt a strange sense of pleasure about what was about to happen.
But they quickly suppressed this sense of anticipation, realizing that thinking that way was wrong.
Wang Yan thought to himself, "It seems I need to get the academy to make a decision as soon as possible."
The audience at Xingluo Square held their breath, listening intently to the conversation between Kong Deming and Wang Yan.
Even though they had anticipated the outcome, they still found it hard to believe that Wang Yan had agreed to Kong Deming's request.
Because Shrek finally lowered its noble head, just as Xu Jiawei had hoped not long ago, the myth of Shrek was shattered in people's hearts!
After dealing with Shrek Academy, Kong Deming disappeared into the air, only to reappear standing on the city wall of the imperial city.
Seeing Kong Deming right in front of him, Xu Jiawei's heart skipped a beat. He kept telling himself that he was the Emperor of Xingluo and he had to stay calm so as not to lose his composure.
The two great guardian Douluo, Tian Sha and Ju Li, immediately stepped forward and shielded Xu Jiawei behind them, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Judging from the brief encounter between Kong Deming and Xuanzi, if Kong Deming wanted to attack Xu Jiawei, neither of them could provide any protection no matter where they stood.
However, since they have been offered tribute by the Star Luo Empire, they should naturally demonstrate their loyalty and value at crucial moments.
"You two need not be nervous. I believe that Her Majesty the Silver Moon is not one to abuse force."
Xu Jiawei spoke calmly, but no one knew the panic in his heart.
The two Guardian Douluos stepped aside, and Kong Deming's tall figure was once again displayed in front of Xu Jiawei.
He asked with a smile, "What brings Your Majesty the Silver Moon here?"
