Douluo Dalu 2: You are an Evil Soul Master, but also a good person ?

The appearance of this missile… when did it happen? Even with my Title Douluo-level strength, I failed to detect it? Just how advanced has the technology of the Sun-Moon Empire become?

One question after another surfaced in his mind, all pointing toward a single conclusion—

No wonder Xu Cheng was so confident. He was certain that I wouldn't dare to do anything to him!

"Xu Cheng, are you trying to start a war?!!" Xu Jiawei gritted his teeth, forcing out the words.

"Start a war? Not in a hurry just yet," Xu Cheng chuckled.

He swept his gaze around.

Looking at the various teams sweating nervously—

So???

We just came here for a tournament, and now we've suddenly become the trigger for the Second Continental War?!

And Xu Cheng… this guy isn't a genius, he's a complete lunatic!

Coming to a banquet full of hidden dangers, with dozens of grenades strapped to his waist, ready to take everyone with him if things went south?!

"Haha, don't worry, everyone, it's just a dud. It won't explode… for example," Xu Cheng said with a smile, pressing a button.

In the terrified stares of the crowd, the iron box remained completely still.

At this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xu Jiawei, you should understand what I mean by now. Since I was able to silently launch dozens of ninth-level fixed soul-guided cannons from the Sun-Moon Empire to here… why don't you take a guess—next time, will it be a dud… or a real warhead?"

Xu Cheng smirked.

"…"

Xu Jiawei took a few deep breaths.

Then, with a weary wave of his hand, he commanded:

"Move aside. Let him go!"

After all, what had been revealed so far was only the tip of the iceberg.

Who knew how many more hidden missiles were lurking in the skies above?

If Xu Cheng detonated them now, the consequences would be unthinkable.

The thousands of years of foundation that Star Luo had built… would be completely wiped out in an instant.

Of course, if they were in Shrek City or one of the other two nations, Xu Jiawei wouldn't mind taking a gamble—maybe stopping him before he could trigger an explosion.

But here, in his own empire's capital, he had to protect Xu Cheng.

"Your Majesty…" Cheng Gang said unwillingly.

"I said, let him go!" Xu Jiawei roared.

"Yes!"

Up in the sky.

The many powerhouses of Star Luo slowly withdrew, disappearing from sight.

Even the seven Title Douluo glanced at Xu Cheng with solemn expressions.

Just think about it—there were at least a dozen Title Douluo present, both in the open and hidden.

Yet, a missile had been launched from the Sun-Moon Empire, all the way to Star Luo's capital, without anyone noticing.

It was terrifying.

If, in the future…

The thought filled them with despair.

So this is the horror of soul-guided weapons?

If war truly broke out, did the Three Nations of the original Douluo Continent even stand a chance of victory?

"Hahahaha! Now that's what I call a little monster!"

A wild laugh suddenly rang out.

Everyone turned toward the Shrek Academy rest area.

A towering figure shot into the sky, muscles bulging like an iron wall.

Behind him, a massive spectral image of the Gluttonous Divine Bull loomed, covering the sky like an eclipse, leaving everyone in awe.

Xuanzi grinned.

"Kid, I see great potential in you! Since that's the case, why not join Shrek? All past grievances can be forgiven. I can even promise you the position of Sea God Pavilion Master!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Who recruits people like this???

Only Shrek Academy would pull something this outrageous.

Wang Yan's face turned pale.

This is bad!

The Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult openly recruiting the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Cult into Shrek?

The Sea God Pavilion… the very heart of Shrek Academy! Its core!

If these two take the next two generations of leadership…

Would Shrek… still have a future?!!

"You're the Supreme Elder?" Xu Cheng showed a look of surprise, then quickly changed his expression. "Wait, you're from Shrek Academy? Sorry, I refuse."

Wang Yan: "…"

The Shrek students: "…"

Xuanzi frowned. What the hell is a Supreme Elder?

But he didn't dwell on it—he had more important things to do.

Recruit Xu Cheng into Shrek Academy! Restore Shrek to its former glory!

A monstrous talent like this… If he didn't join Shrek, it would be a crime!

"Ahem. Shrek Academy will spare no expense to nurture you! We'll give you unlimited resources! We're all monsters here, so we understand each other! Come to Shrek—Shrek is your true home!" Xuanzi laughed.

But the Shrek students felt a chill down their spines.

What was making them uneasy wasn't Xu Cheng's words…

It was Xuanzi's reaction.

In their eyes, Xuanzi was saying:

"Come to Shrek! We have dumb people and lots of resources! Once you're here, we'll drain the Sea God Pavilion dry together! We'll take over the academy! In a few decades, when you become Pavilion Master, we'll rename Shrek to Holy Spirit Academy! Wahahaha!"

This can't be real… right?!

One undercover spy climbed to the top of the Sea God Pavilion, and now he's openly trying to bring in the Holy Spirit Cult's next generation?

Using Shrek's resources… to nurture the Holy Spirit Cult's greatest genius?!

Even Ma Xiaotao's face turned pale.

Could it be… that the Sea God Pavilion had truly been infiltrated to this extent?

Was Xuanzi really a spy from the Holy Spirit Cult?

Otherwise, why would he recruit the Holy Spirit Cult's top talent into Shrek? And even promise him the Pavilion Master's seat?

Up in the sky, Xuanzi was still laughing.

Completely unaware that, in the eyes of the students, he had already become a demonic figure.

"I see now… Xuanzi's martial soul, the Gluttonous Divine Bull, does have devouring abilities…" Ling Luochan muttered, her delicate face turning white.

Once the seed of suspicion was planted…

It would grow, uncontrollably.

Even if it wasn't true—people would convince themselves that it was.

"I will report this to the Inner Court. Even if I die, it will be worth it," Wang Yan shook his head. "Looking back… the road was filled with traps. If even the high-ranking officials have been infiltrated… how many of our talented students have been secretly eliminated by Xuanzi?"

"Teacher Wang, take care…"

Tears welled up in the students' eyes.

Ma Xiaotao clenched her fists. "Teacher, don't worry! I'll help you!"

Wang Yan's expression was complicated as he glanced around.

Previously, he hadn't had a high opinion of Ma Xiaotao—too brash, impulsive, disrespectful.

But now… she was the only one standing up.

All the other students?

Just said the most worthless phrase: "Take care…"

Does Shrek… even deserve to be saved anymore?

"Elder Xuan, this is the capital of Star Luo…"

Xu Jiawei struggled to contain his anger.

Translation: If this missile explodes, it's my empire that gets destroyed—not your Shrek Academy!

"Oh, come on, Xiao Wei, don't be so scared!" Xuanzi waved dismissively.

"I don't believe he'd actually detonate it—doesn't he care about his own life?"

Even if it did explode, at most, Star Luo would lose its capital, all its top warriors, and its thousands of years of foundation.

But Shrek?

Shrek would lose a genius!

Xu Jiawei: "…"

You old bastard. You conniving bastard. You piece of…
