Aftermath

As the ring fell back to the ground, Xu Xiaoyan ignored Xie Xie and walked straight towards the exit. She had no intention of stopping, no matter what Xie Xie said.

Zhuo Shi sent a message to Xie Xie, saying, "Stop talking. You lost, accept it. If you're not embarrassed enough, come back!"

Xie Xie didn't know what technology Miracle City used, but the conversation between him and Xu Xiaoyan was broadcast. Everyone in the audience and those watching the live stream online and on TV could hear it clearly.

Anyone who wasn't a die-hard fan of Shrek Academy would probably be able to tell that Xie Xie was making a fool of himself. If he continued like this, it would be bad for their academy.

Everyone could see Tang Wulin's last blow. If it had really hit Xu Xiaoyan, she might not have survived.

On the other hand, none of the Shrek Seven Devils or Tang Wulin, who was thrown out of the ring, were in any life-threatening danger. In the end, Le Zhengen even asked Holy Spirit Douluo Yali to treat them.

Such a comparison was simply a matter of judgment. The Miracle City side restrained themselves at every turn, and Tang Wulin ended up being beaten like that. He had only himself to blame. In the eyes of normal people, Xu Xiaoyan might have shown mercy if Tang Wulin hadn't been killed by the final blow.

That was to say, under such circumstances, Xie Xie was still acting up. This was more embarrassing than the Shrek Seven Devils losing the match, and it would have been better to admit defeat before the match.

Le Zhengen obviously knew about it, but he didn't stop it. He even took close-ups of the Shrek Seven Devils from time to time. The expressions of Tang Wulin and the others, who were either disappointed or gritting their teeth, were projected on the virtual screen and live broadcast.

This was like rubbing Shrek Academy's face on the ground. They were the ones who used to treat people who lost to their students like this. Now that someone else was doing it, it was naturally unacceptable in these troubled times. They could only send a message to Shrek, asking them to come and avenge the seven devils.

Although Xie Xie was reluctant to do so, Zhuo Shi, the current dean of the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, said so. Xie Xie didn't dare to say anything more and could only leave the ring with the other Shrek Seven Devils.

After Xu Xiaoyan left the ring, she went directly to the box where Anping and Gu Yuena were. Seeing Xu Xiaoyan open the door, Lan Fuzi said with a smile, "Oh, our great hero is back. Haven't you always wanted to fight against the people from Shrek Academy again? This time your wish has finally come true. How do you feel? How was it?"

Hearing Lan Fuzi's teasing tone, Xu Xiaoyan shook her head slightly and said, "They are quite powerful. Le Zhengyu and I are obviously stronger. But I finally understand that in their eyes, they are the only ones who are the Shrek Seven Devils. Their lives are the only ones that matter, other people's lives are not important."

That was how Xie Xie made Xu Xiaoyan feel. Although the others didn't say anything, their hatred for him could be seen on their faces. It was just a loss in a match, but they acted like he had killed their parents.

Lan Fuzi also nodded and said, "They went too far. It was just a match. How could they be so mean to us? Do you want me to help you teach them a lesson secretly?"

When Lan Fuzi suggested teaching them a lesson secretly, Gu Yuena said angrily, "You can go if you want, but don't say I didn't warn you. Zhuo Shi and Wu Zhangkong are not the only ones to worry about. Chen Xinjie is a Limit Douluo, and Tang Wulin still has Tang San's consciousness. You saw the Poseidon Trident before, so be careful not to get yourself into trouble instead of teaching them a lesson."

Gu Yuena knew that Lan Fuzi was only joking and wouldn't really risk doing such a thing. But just in case, she still reminded him that the people from Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were hard to deal with this time.

After hearing Gu Yuena's words, Xu Xiaoyan thought for a moment and asked, "Is that really the Poseidon Trident? It doesn't look very powerful. How come Tang Wulin, the son of Poseidon, hasn't used any of its power?"

Xu Xiaoyan felt the same way when she was in the ring before. The Poseidon Trident in Tang Wulin's hand seemed like an ordinary weapon. Apart from the material being good, it had no other advantages. It didn't look like an artifact at all.

Seeing Xu Xiaoyan's question, Anping explained, "It is the real Poseidon Trident, and it contains a lot of Poseidon's power. The reason why Tang Wulin hasn't used any of its power is not his fault."

He paused slightly and continued, "Do you remember what I told you yesterday? I said I wouldn't let Tang San interfere in this match, so he can't activate his divine power. Otherwise, do you think the Poseidon Trident would be so easy for you to block and even counterattack Tang Wulin?"

After listening to Anping's explanation, Xu Xiaoyan nodded and said, "That means we haven't defeated the complete Shrek Seven Devils. If Tang Wulin is allowed to use the Poseidon's power in the Poseidon Trident, we will lose to him, right?"

Although it was a bit shocking to say it, Anping still nodded and said, "No, no, no, I just said it's not easy. It doesn't mean you will lose. If you use the spiritual mirror with all your strength, you can still deflect the Poseidon Trident to the side. After all, Tang Wulin is only a Soul King. No matter how powerful the artifact is, he can't use much of its power."

"Unless it was Tang San's divine consciousness that activated the Poseidon Trident himself, then it would be different. But you don't need to compare yourself with Tang San's divine consciousness now. Even though it's just a fragment of his consciousness, it's still a part of the God King that Tang San became."

Xu Xiaoyan nodded slightly to show that she understood, and then asked, "In that case, as long as Tang San's divine consciousness doesn't act, why do you have to ban Tang Wulin's ability to summon the Poseidon Trident? Where is the problem?"

Hearing Xu Xiaoyan's question, Lan Fuzi also became curious, so she looked at Anping and said, "Yes, since Xiaoyan can handle it, just let him use it. That way, when Xiaoyan wins, it will make her even more impressive."

Anping knew what they were thinking. He felt that his previous words were to comfort Xu Xiaoyan, so he explained, "There is a reason why I did this. If Tang Wulin really uses the Poseidon Trident, it's not good for our Miracle City."
