Bonus Chapter. Enjoy!
=============================
Seeing Xuan Zi return, the students of Shrek Academy couldn't help but laugh out of anger. Just moments ago, when they were at death's door, Xuan Zi had fled without saying a word.
Now that the crisis was averted, Xuan Zi had actually come back?
"Xuan Zi has the nerve to come back?"
"Just now, almost all of us were going to die here, and he went off chasing a bat."
"What's the use of coming back now?"
The students of Shrek murmured softly, their voices filled with anger and disdain.
Elder Song was furious upon seeing Xuan Zi return, and was just about to go settle accounts with Xuan Zi.
Before she could even speak, Xuan Zi spoke first. His gaze swept across the plaza, looking at the cleared Abyssal Creatures, then at Ya Li and the others, and then he spoke with a straight face.
"As for that escaping monster from earlier, this old man has already eliminated it. That beast actually ran outside of Shrek City. Fortunately it was this old man, otherwise if this monster had gotten out, it would have brought considerable threat to the entire Douluo Continent."
This speech could be considered quite shameless. However, as soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Zi's gaze fell upon Ya Li and the others, and then on Zang Xin and Tai Tan.
Xuan Zi didn't recognize the others, but he definitely recognized Zang Xin and Tai Tan. Tai Tan was that guy who had served time in the Confinement Room with him.
As for Zang Xin...
A flash of gloominess crossed Xuan Zi's eyes. It was that guy, who, alone with a sword, defeated all the Titled Douluo of Shrek Academy in two moves, causing him to completely lose face.
Xuan Zi also noticed that the Abyssal Creatures here had basically been completely wiped out.
And that Abyssal Passage, after the Abyssal Evil Scythe was eliminated, quite rarely did not produce any more Abyssal Creatures; he wondered if something was still brewing.
Xuan Zi's shameless speech just now could be said to have directly blown Elder Song's top. Her eyes were filled with fury, and just as she wanted to open her mouth to lecture this fellow Xuan Zi, Xuan Zi spoke a step ahead.
He turned his head to look at Ya Li and the others, his tone carrying a hint of questioning.
"Why did you guys arrive so late?"
"Our Shrek Academy has suffered heavy losses now!"
"If it weren't for the people of our Shrek Academy desperately holding off these monsters, who knows what the entire Douluo Continent would have turned into!"
"These academy students are all the pillars of our Shrek Academy!"
"Now, because you arrived late, so many students and even Titled Douluo have died! You should apologize for this! You should be responsible for this!"
Xuan Zi's gaze stared straight at Ya Li and the others, his old eyes full of anger, and his voice sounded as if he were speaking from the perspective of Shrek Academy.
Of course, after this speech was uttered, the brains of everyone in Shrek Academy directly short-circuited, and they looked at Xuan Zi in utter disbelief.
Is this guy's brain not normal?
You must know that the one who abandoned them was Xuan Zi. If it weren't for Xuan Zi, they definitely could have held out until Ya Li and the others arrived, and then not so many people would have died.
Now that these people came to save us, not only are they not thanking them, but they want them to apologize? Even wanting others to be responsible?
What kind of logic is this?
At this moment, hearing Xuan Zi's words and thinking of Xuan Zi's identity—ah, such a person was actually a Sea God Pavilion Elder of Shrek Academy—the students felt even more disappointed in Shrek Academy.
Tai Tan looked at Xuan Zi and remembered that this guy was the old madman who had served time in the Confinement Room with him. At the time, he already felt this guy's brain wasn't normal.
Now it seemed he really was mentally retarded.
Doesn't this fellow Xuan Zi understand what the current situation is like?
Not to mention that they saved Shrek Academy, just looking at the fact that the other party's strength was obviously stronger—might makes right—yet he went straight up and demanded an apology?
Tai Tan glanced at Zang Xin and silently mourned for Xuan Zi for three seconds in his heart.
However, before Ya Li and the others could speak, a figure walked out from the crowd. It was Bei Bei, his expression looking quite calm, his eyes filled with exhaustion.
"Bei Bei..."
Tang Ya noticed Bei Bei. Bei Bei coming back now means he must have found a way to solve the Abyssal Creatures, right?
Xuan Zi went to chase the Four-Clawed Bat, and everyone would think Xuan Zi was running away, but Bei Bei was different. Tang Ya believed Bei Bei would not give up on Shrek Academy.
Bei Bei walked up to Ya Li and bowed deeply.
"Everyone, I am truly sorry. Xuan Zi is no longer a person of our Shrek Academy, and his words and actions do not represent our Shrek Academy."
"Our Shrek Academy is extremely grateful for everyone's rescue. In the future, we will definitely offer generous gifts!"
Hearing Bei Bei's words, Xuan Zi's face instantly turned ashen.
"Bei Bei! Since when do you have the right to speak here?!"
Xuan Zi directly unleashed his 98th-rank Aura, pressing it toward Bei Bei.
At this moment, Bei Bei turned around to look at Xuan Zi. His gaze was very calm, but everyone could feel that the mood of the youth before them was quite terrible.
"Xuan Zi, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at others? You haven't even fulfilled your responsibility as a Sea God Pavilion Elder. I saw it when I just arrived here—you weren't here, right? When Shrek Academy encountered a crisis, you chose to run away and failed to fulfill your duties as an elder."
"Just like that tragic incident with Lexuan, you completely failed to fulfill your responsibility as an elder. You only enjoyed all the perks of being an elder, took away Ancestor Mu's Spirit Bone, and now you still want to destroy Shrek Academy!"
As he said this, a terrifying Aura suddenly erupted from Bei Bei's body, golden light shrouding him entirely.
Xuan Zi's pupils abruptly shrank, his tone full of disbelief.
"This is Elder Mu's Bright Sacred Dragon Aura? Impossible!"
Golden scales began to emerge from Bei Bei's body, covering his arms piece by piece, and the Aura emanating from his body rose steadily, directly reaching the Aura of a Limit Douluo!
Elder Song was completely dumbfounded. She suddenly sensed that the Aura emanating from Bei Bei seemed to carry the Aura of the Golden Ancient Tree. This is the power of the Golden Ancient Tree? Can Bei Bei mobilize the power of the Golden Ancient Tree?
Da Ming stood to the side, his gaze falling on Bei Bei, his brow slightly furrowed. He sensed that besides the Golden Ancient Tree, Bei Bei's Aura also had that of the Blue Silver Emperor, and part of... Tang San's.
It must be Tang San's doing. Tang San had notified his two brothers to come help not long ago, but besides the two brothers, he hadn't expected Tang San to have prepared a backup plan.
At this moment, Bei Bei raised his icy gaze to stare at Xuan Zi.
"Xuan Zi, the Spirit Bone you snatched from Ancestor Mu—today, I will represent Ancestor Mu to take it back!"
As soon as the words fell, Bei Bei's figure rushed toward Xuan Zi like lightning!
Xuan Zi's expression changed drastically, completely not expecting that this brat Bei Bei would make a move against him. He hurriedly summoned his Taotie Divine Ox Spirit!
Nine Spirit Rings rose from his feet, and a violent Aura spread in all directions!
Yet Bei Bei's speed was extremely fast. Before Xuan Zi could react, Bei Bei grabbed Xuan Zi's right arm directly with one hand and jerked it fiercely.
"Ah!"
Xuan Zi let out a shrill scream as blood gushed out. His right arm was forcefully ripped off by Bei Bei!
Holding that severed arm, Bei Bei looked coldly at Xuan Zi. In making a move against Xuan Zi just now, Bei Bei did not hold back at all; past affection had long since vanished like smoke.
