Chapter 34 Shall I Resign?_2

But Elder Zhuang was not satisfied.

He knew about Ling Luochen, a seed player with exceptional talent within the inner court, who could become a Titled Douluo without any issues if he trained step by step.

And he could go far beyond the realm of a Titled Douluo...

It was not necessarily impossible for him to become an Elder like himself.

But now, Ling Luochen's progress could at most stop at the realm of a Titled Douluo...

How could he not feel regret?

In other words, at the Shrek Academy, there were still some geniuses who could become Titled Douluos.

Originally a genius among monsters, he suddenly fell to the mundane world.

"Alas."

"What a pity."

"A rising star of Shrek Academy has fallen before it could ascend."

"..."

Sighs echoed one after another in the Sea God's Pavilion.

"What about Dai Yueheng?" Mu En's expression became dazed for a moment before he asked again.

"Dai Yueheng... is even worse off."

Elder Zhuang shook his head, "At least Ling Luochen has the hope to become a Soul Douluo and a slim chance to become a Titled Douluo. But Dai Yueheng has no such possibility.

He will never be able to break through the Soul Emperor realm in his lifetime, that is the limit of what I can do."

"This..."

Although Elder Zhuang had given a heads-up before, many Elders were still stunned when they heard this news.

The talent of Dai Yueheng was even higher than that of Ling Luochen.

In this generation, he was considered second only to Ma Xiaotao.

The potential achievements were unimaginable.

And yet... such a genius had been ruined?

How regrettable that was.

"There must be a way, they can still be saved."

"If you can't save them, I believe someone else can!"

Xuan Zi's words suddenly shattered the silence.

Elder Zhuang frowned, "What can you do?"

He didn't believe in him as a person, but he couldn't question his medical skills.

After all, in the field of healing soul masters, he is an authority, and Xuan Zi's statement made him feel insulted.

Xuan Zi raised an eyebrow, "What if I say, the number one healing soul master in the world, the Deputy Hall Master of the Star Luo Empire's Worshipping Palace, Medical Sage Douluo, how would you respond?"

"This..."

Elder Zhuang opened his mouth but found himself at a loss for words.

The fame of Medical Sage Douluo was resounding, who didn't know it?

If Elder Zhuang was an authority among healing soul masters, then Medical Sage Douluo was the authority of authorities.

Legend has it, as long as one is still breathing, Medical Sage can pull him back from the gates of death.

In the original story, that was also the case.

Huo Yuhao was blasted apart by Di Tian, but didn't Medical Sage bring him back to life?

This is true power.

"But the Medical Sage has been in seclusion, and has not taken action for many years. We might not be able to get him to come out..."

"Why can't we invite him out? I, Xuan Zi, will personally go to the Star Luo Empire's Worshipping Palace to invite him. Wouldn't he show me a little courtesy?"

Xuan Zi said and then snorted coldly.

He sounded not so much inviting someone as he was about to hijack someone.

But given his cultivation level, it really wouldn't be a big problem.

So what if he's in seclusion?

If the Worship Hall gets torn down, would he still have a place to seclude himself?

"Xuan Zi, enough!"

Mu En, who only spoke occasionally, couldn't stand Xuan Zi any longer.

Wasn't this making trouble without reason?

"Elder Mu... we can't just watch those kids be wasted like this, can we? I can't bear it..."

"If you were so concerned about them, you should have paid more attention early on, so it wouldn't have come to this sorry state?"

Mu En replied sternly.

Xuan Zi was suddenly speechless.

Of course, it was Mu En who could suppress him so firmly; if it were someone else, the Gluttonous Sacred Bull would have made an appearance long ago.

Seeing this, Mu En's mood also calmed down quite a bit as he said with grave importance, "The Star Luo Empire is not a subsidiary force of Shrek Academy. Therefore, we should treat the Star Luo Empire with due respect and not order them around."

"So, should we just ignore these children?"

Xuan Zi appeared very unwilling.

Seeing his reaction, everyone internally shook their heads.

If you had such a realization earlier and paid more attention, how could such a tragedy have happened?

Now you want to make amends.

"Right, since you won't let me find Medical Sage, can I go and seek out the Hao Tian Clan? That should be okay, right?"

Xuan Zi suddenly thought of another lifesaving straw.

"What do you need from the Hao Tian Clan?"

"You have all read historical records, haven't you? Once, the Sea God had a remarkable encounter. In a place called Icefire Polarized Eyes, he found several Immortal Herbs. He then gave the Immortal Herbs to the first generation of Shrek Seven Monsters, which transformed them completely, and the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda was born, thus creating Shrek's glory."

Upon hearing Xuan Zi's words, everyone's faces showed a dazed expression.

They had certainly heard of this before.

It was a true myth.

According to the legends, each of the Immortal Herbs had miraculous effects.

Unfortunately,

the existence of the Icefire Polarized Eyes was only in legend. Countless people had searched for it but never found any trace of Icefire Polarized Eyes.

"The Hao Tian Clan originates from the Sea God, and I suspect they may know some news about the Icefire Polarized Eyes."

"If we can find the Immortal Herbs from the Icefire Polarized Eyes, wouldn't that solve the children's problems at once?"

Xuan Zi became more and more excited as he spoke.

"That is possible..."

Even Mu En couldn't help but nod his head.

If anyone knew the location of the Icefire Polarized Eyes, it would likely be the Hao Tian Clan...

"But, even if they know, how would they be willing to tell you the location?"

Xuan Zi immediately answered, "Previously, someone from the Hao Tian Clan said that if Wang Dong joined the Shrek Reserve Team, it would be considered as owing us a favor."

Ah... Mu En sighed inwardly.

Xuan Zi had become desperate, clutching at straws.

A mere gesture of assistance, how could it possibly exchange for the secret of the Icefire Polarized Eyes?

It was too unrealistic.

"Xuan Zi, you need to calm down. Our favor is not that influential."

Mu En shook his head, "We need to save these children, and we have to invite the Medical Sage. However, we must do so gently. Shrek Academy is also willing to pay a price, but whether the Medical Sage is willing to come will depend on her own decision.

If she is unwilling, we cannot force her, understand?"

With these words, everyone nodded in agreement.

It still had to be Elder Mu making decisions on crucial matters.

Even Xuan Zi accepted this suggestion.

"Once the children's matter is settled, next I want to discuss my issue..."

After taking a deep breath, Xuan Zi raised his head, eyes fixed on Mu En, and slowly said, "Elder Mu, I cannot escape blame for this accident. My negligence resulted in such a heavy blow to Shrek Academy.

After much thought, I have decided to resign from all my positions and from now on, I will just be a normal member of Shrek."

What the heck?

This old guy wants to resign again?

Upon hearing Xuan Zi's words, memories of the past event surfaced in everyone's minds.

That time, 12 inner court disciples went into the Aquipeia Forest, and Xuan Zi only brought back 4.

At that time,

right here in this hall, Xuan Zi had proposed to resign, and everyone had tried to persuade him not to.

In the end,

Zhang Lexuan even knelt down in front of him, begging him to stay...

Only then did Xuan Zi change his mind.

But this time... should they try to persuade him again?

Some were pondering.

Others had already spoken.

"Elder Xuan, you must not do this, the academy still needs your leadership."

Yan Shaozhe was the first to stand up in opposition.

He resented Xuan Zi for his carelessness that led to such a tragedy.

But he also understood that Shrek Academy couldn't be without Xuan Zi.

Thinking of the bigger picture, he had to endeavour to retain Xuan Zi.

Following Yan Shaozhe's lead, others also began to speak up, urging Xuan Zi not to act rashly.

From the high seat,

Mu En's gaze flickered indecisively.

To be honest, he really wanted Xuan Zi to get lost as far as possible.

It would be better never to see him again.

Raising a genius is hard and takes decades of dedication. Ruining a genius, however, is quite easy; just let Xuan Zi take them out for a spin.

Yet,

rationality told him he shouldn't do that.

First of all, Xuan Zi was carefree.

Without the constraints, what could he become if left unchecked?

The sorrow of today could be forgotten with just a couple of drinks,

If that's not enough, then just drink a couple more.

Over time, he might even forget about Shrek Academy completely.

Beyond that, there was an even more important reason.

That was, he, Mu En, was about to die.
