Chapter 119 Dai Huabin's assassination attempt on Huo Yuhao exposed? Is Black Shrek Academy really that useless? They didn't even find out?
The images above the sky kept changing, but the underlying tone of the dark world remained shrouded in gloom and utilitarianism.
The executives of Black Shrek watched the plot unfold on the screen, their faces turning extremely grim.
Although they did not deliberately leave the academy to listen to outside opinions, as people standing at the pinnacle of power, they were well aware of how ugly such behavior of "changing their minds faster than flipping through a book" was in the eyes of the world.
This blatant act of speculation puts Shrek's long-standing reputation on the hot seat of profit.
The high-ranking officials had dark faces; the unease of being publicly executed made them wish the screen would immediately skip this part.
"Damn it..."
"Don't let it go!"
...
On the playground, Hei Xuanzi's face was even more unpleasant.
He stared intently at the sky, his lips trembling, before finally managing to choke out an angry growl: "This isn't the highlight I wanted! Damn it, this sky is just trying to smear us Black Shrek!"
This feeling of being overwhelmed made him almost lose his mind.
This is completely contrary to the image of a "cunning and shrewd person who tries to mend things after the fact" that he had envisioned.
He had originally thought the screen would show how brilliantly he had discovered a genius, but the footage instead precisely recorded how he groveled before that ultimate ice "trump card".
However, the curtain did not stop because of his anger; instead, it accelerated the playback in the direction that Black Shrek least wanted to be revealed.
[In the celestial scene, after a series of inducements and inducements, Huo Yuhao ultimately had no choice but to join both the Martial Soul System and the Soul Guidance System.]
He nominally gained the attention of Shrek Academy's higher-ups, and various resources began to flow towards him. However, this belated favor ignited a poisonous fire called jealousy elsewhere.
The camera pans to a dark corner in the outer courtyard.
[Dai Huabin stared intently at Huo Yuhao's retreating figure, surrounded by admirers, his young face contorted with extreme resentment.]
Losing to Huo Yuhao's team in the freshman competition was already an indelible humiliation in his life. Now, this discarded pawn he once regarded as trash has awakened the Ultimate Ice, stealing all the glory that should have belonged to him.
"Ultimate Ice... Twin Martial Souls... What makes him so special?" Dai Huabin's voice was chillingly cold. Beside him, a trusted confidant of the Duke's mansion stood with his head bowed.
"Young Master, the academy is protecting him very strictly now. If we let him grow up unchecked, I'm afraid you'll..." The confidant didn't finish his sentence, but the threat was obvious.
"Then let him have no future." Dai Huabin turned abruptly, his eyes revealing a morbid resolve. "Send my orders back to the Duke's mansion to gather the best men. Shrek's defenses aren't impenetrable. If he leaves the academy even half a step, make him disappear forever."
The Soul Masters in the Underworld were in an uproar upon seeing this.
"No way, isn't Dai Huabin incredibly incompetent? He resorts to assassination because he's outmatched?"
"His mentality is utterly rotten. Why is he still at Shrek Academy? How can someone like that be called a genius?"
"The most outrageous thing is Shrek Academy. How could they not have discovered a conspiracy of this magnitude? Were their security teams completely incompetent?"
The scene shifts to the bustling streets of Shrek City.
[Huo Yuhao needs to travel to the city to purchase a batch of rare metal materials for his Soul Master training assignment.]
The instant he stepped out of the gates of Shrek Academy, several subtle killing intents locked onto him.
The assassination attempt occurred without warning at a corner in a narrow alleyway.
Several masked Soul Masters with profound Soul Power instantly attacked, unleashing a variety of powerful Soul Skills that blasted the surrounding buildings into fragments.
Huo Yuhao is facing an unprecedented life-or-death crisis.
[With the early warning provided by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and the ultimate attributes of the Ice Emperor Martial Soul, he skillfully maneuvered through the ruins.]
The scene was extremely dangerous; several times the sharp blade nearly grazed his throat. Although he eventually held on until the academy's enforcement team arrived, he was covered in blood.
However, the most ironic part occurred during the subsequent investigation.
Although Shrek Academy showed great anger after the incident, under Xuanzi's investigation, this assassination attempt targeting core disciples in Shrek City ultimately failed to uncover even the slightest clue that the Duke's mansion was the mastermind.
The Soul Masters of the underworld were enraged once again: "How utterly useless! Assassinated on their own turf, and they can't even find the real culprit? Who's in charge here?"
When people discovered through the skylight that the person on duty in charge of defense was Hei Xuanzi, the outcry reached its peak instantly.
"It's Hei Xuanzi again! I'm really impressed. What else can this old guy do besides eat chicken legs?"
"Dai Huabin is certainly a beast, but Hei Xuanzi and Hei Shrek's dereliction of duty is no less egregious. They don't even have the basic principle of protecting a genius; what kind of respect is that?"
Sitting in the conference room, Mu En looked at the muddled conclusion of the case by Hei Xuanzi on the screen, his face turning ashen with anger, and even the scepter in his hand was trembling.
"I remember that Xuanzi was indeed in charge of the defense of that area. Sigh, that idiot!" Mu En sighed helplessly. "I don't expect him to have the level of control over the rules that Xuanzi of the White World has, but as an elder, he can't be this incompetent, can he?"
Xuanzi himself was unable to utter a single word at this point.
He knew he had really lost face this time.
The scene continues to zoom in. The assassination attempt was thus left unresolved.
In the days that followed, Huo Yuhao entered a period of rapid growth. With the support of his Ice Emperor Martial Soul, his status at the academy steadily rose, and he was eventually selected as a reserve member to represent Shrek Academy in the Continental Soul Master Tournament.
[Shrek's main and reserve teams have assembled, and the flying soul tools symbolizing honor are ready for launch.]
Just as the team was about to depart, the scene on the sky froze again without warning.
[The text slowly appears: The black world phase has ended. Next, we will play the white world phase.]
The soul masters in the underworld were immediately intrigued.
After all, although the Underworld is their own affair, to be honest, watching Shrek do things in the Underworld is really easy to have a brain hemorrhage.
So now that the scene in the sky is about to return to the White World, many Soul Masters are relieved.
"Great, now I don't have to eat shit anymore..."
"I wonder if Bai Huoyuhao will be able to obtain the Ice Emperor's martial soul in the White World? Also, what will he do when faced with Dai Huabin's assassination attempt?"
"I don't know about the former, but assassination? If Dai Huabin from the White World dares to do that, he'll have to pay the price! The Shrek Academy from the White World isn't like some of the people here, who are just good-for-nothings!"
Hei Xuanzi's face was grim.
His moment of glory failed to materialize; instead, it further tarnished his reputation.
And the most difficult thing now is that the white world scene is back.
If things go well, then the White World's Genji and Shrek will be able to handle this matter better.
After comparing them, he felt even more embarrassed.
