Chapter 49 Tournament Ends_1

"What a Gluttonous Douluo, what a Xuan Zi!"

The voice of Xu Jiawei was icy cold, as if it was squeezed out through clenched teeth.

If it weren't for Xuan Zi's overwhelming strength and his exceptionally noble status at Shrek Academy, he really wanted to send Dai Hao to capture Xuan Zi immediately and behead him for all to see.

You must know that the ones Xuan Zi killed were not only rivals of Shrek Academy but also the hope of the Xingluo Empire.

Originally, due to Shrek Academy, talents from the Heavenly Soul, Xingluo, and Dou Spirit Empires all left their home countries to study at Shrek.

Talents who could already become Soul Ancestors or even Soul Kings before the age of twenty were rare indeed.

Yet today, Xuan Zi went as far as to kill fourteen in one go and also cut down a Soul Douluo who could be considered the pillar of society.

Counting this, Xu Jiawei felt so heartbroken that he struggled to breathe.

Who knows how many of those children could normally have become Soul Douluos, not to mention Titled Douluos?

Or to say, how many could become Sixth-Level, Seventh-Level Soul Masters?

Maybe one Soul Sage does not significantly enhance an empire.

But a Seventh-Level Soul Master is a strategic weapon.

To produce a fixed Seventh-Level Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon would take only a few days...

"Your Majesty, shall we now make Xuan Zi's actions public and let the people of the world know of his crimes?"

Dai Hao couldn't help but ask.

Xu Jiawei shook his head, "Let's not, for now. If it must be done, let's wait until after the Soul Master tournament is over; otherwise, the impact would be too significant."

He really wanted Xuan Zi to fall from grace.

But acting now would also bring trouble to the Xingluo Empire.

So, it's better to wait.

"Yes."

Dai Hao nodded, then after seeing the somewhat distracted Xu Jiawei and uttering a wish for his well-being, he left.

However.

The moment he disappeared from the great hall,

Princess Xu Jiujiu, dressed in a bright red dress, walked out from a side chamber of the great hall.

"Elder brother."

Her pretty face was also exceedingly solemn.

She had heard the conversation between Xu Jiawei and Dai Hao.

As the princess of Xingluo, she too could understand Xu Jiawei's worries.

"Jiujiu, Shrek Academy has truly gone too far this time."

In front of his sister, Xu Jiawei no longer restrained the fury in his heart.

"What do they take themselves for? Sole rulers of Soul Land?"

"Do they really see the Douluo Three Kingdoms as mere vassals, to be manipulated as they please, killing wantonly within our borders without fearing the consequences?"

Xu Jiawei's face contorted with rage.

Like a lion gone mad.

"Fine, even if the Douluo Three Kingdoms need Shrek's help to contend against the Sun-Moon Empire, that should only amount to a partnership."

"Our forbearance signifies our magnanimity, not that we lack temper."

After listening to Xu Jiawei's rant, Xu Jiujiu's brows slightly furrowed.

Not to mention other aspects, in Xu Jiawei's words, she heard a deep sense of grievance.

An emperor of a nation has been driven to such a state, which clearly shows how outrageous Shrek had been.

"Elder brother, just like you said earlier, what can we do right now?

We still can't confront Shrek directly, so we have to endure for now.

I also suggest that we report Xuan Zi's actions directly to Shrek and ask them to handle it. Perhaps that's the best choice."

Thinking about Xuan Zi's power, Xu Jiujiu felt a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart.

Such an important person was beyond their ability to deal with; it was better left to Shrek.

"That's a good idea, I also want to see if Shrek Academy can give me a satisfactory explanation."

Having vented his frustration and with the counsel of Xu Jiujiu, Xu Jiawei had calmed down quite a bit.

"Elder brother, there's another matter..."

"What is it? Just speak frankly."

"I want to ask how should we arrange Shrek Academy's next opponent?"

Xu Jiujiu asked with some concern, "After such an incident, no one can guarantee the future opponents of Shrek won't also encounter such a massacre."

Xu Jiawei heard this and paused.

This was indeed a problem.

Who knows if Xuan Zi will go mad and attack Shrek Academy's upcoming opponents?

Just thinking about it, Xu Jiawei felt that the possibility was very high.

After a deep breath, Xu Jiawei said solemnly, "I cannot let the people of the Xingluo Empire be victimized any longer. Hence, in the following matches, Shrek Academy's opponents, no matter what, cannot be from the Xingluo Empire."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Xu Jiujiu, already having a plan in mind, "At a time like this, we can only impose hardship on the academies of the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Dou Spirit Empire. The Three Kingdoms of Douluo are connected, it's time to share some of the burden with them."

Xu Jiujiu heard this and nodded slightly, indicating her understanding.

What Xu Jiawei said was correct.

It was indeed time for the other two nations to share some of the burden.

After all, Xuan Zi was like a mad dog, unpredictable and dangerous.

...

Meanwhile,

Wang Yan led Wang Dong, Dai Huabin, Beibei, and the rest of the Shrek group back to their hotel.

Though they had won the day's match, no one had a trace of joy on their faces for the victory.

As the group entered the room, Xu Sanshi could no longer contain his emotions. He burst out with a curse, "Damn it, this feels worse than a loss; it was a hollow victory."
