DD2-Chapter 385: Identity Change, Street Rat Shrek!
At this moment, in the gap between the planes, the soul masters laughed after seeing the latest content played on the screen.
As for why they couldn't help laughing at this moment, it was mainly because, from their perspective, the thoughts and practices of the people in Shrek Academy were extremely ridiculous.
Nothing they did or thought was right, and everything was wrong.
They didn't expect that this time was not an accident at all; it was a coordinated attack by the four empires aimed at Shrek Academy.
They didn't realize that their Shrek Academy had become a fish on the chopping block, at the mercy of others. Thus, the fate of Shrek Academy was completely doomed.
Therefore, after seeing the content that appeared on the screen, the soul masters in the gap between the planes began to discuss.
"Haha, it's really funny, these Shrek Academy guys!"
"Until now, they still think their value is very high. But what they didn't expect is that Shrek Academy is now worthless."
"The reason the other four empires haven't taken action against them is merely to maintain a good reputation while continuously weakening the people of Douluo Continent's good impression of Shrek Academy."
"They haven't continued their attack for the time being, but once the top leaders of the four empires achieve their goals, they will ruthlessly strike directly at Shrek Academy."
"Isn't it unfortunate? The current Shrek Academy is still obsessed with the glory of the past, believing the entire Douluo Continent revolves around them. What they don't know is that the dynamics of the Douluo Continent have shifted completely without their realization."
"In short, another good show will soon unfold."
"No matter which empire on Douluo Continent Wang Yan and his party approach for help, they will ultimately be turned away. I find it quite exhilarating; the once lofty Shrek Academy has become a target for ridicule, like a rat crossing the street. How exciting will that be?"
"It's really interesting."
The soul masters in the gap between the planes kept talking.
After a brief discussion, they continued to watch the screen.
And at that moment, on the screen:
[A few days later, Wang Yan and other members from Shrek Academy did go to the major empires and influential forces on Douluo Continent for help.]
[Upon discovering Wang Yan's arrival, the soldiers immediately reported the matter to the top leaders of several empires.]
["No! Let them go!"]
[Xu Jiawei was extremely tough on the matter.]
[Although the Star Luo Empire has always had a good relationship with Shrek Academy over the years, there is a saying: there are only eternal interests, no eternal friends.]
[The current situation of Shrek Academy is that everyone pushes down the wall when it falls.]
[Now Huo Yuhao and the Body Sect are the true top forces on Douluo Continent, and this Shrek Academy is merely a piece of fish that can be slaughtered at will.]
[Given this situation, the Star Luo Empire, regardless of how deep their past friendship with Shrek Academy was, has to set aside those matters now. For them, the most crucial thing now is to protect themselves.]
[Xu Jiawei's choice was thus very rational. He instructed his subordinates to drive Wang Yan and others away and then directly issued orders to others in his charge: "Let those nobles and major forces listen carefully."]
["Shrek Academy is finished. All the senior leaders of Shrek Academy are dead, and Huo Yuhao of the Body Sect has ascended to godhood. Now Huo Yuhao wants Shrek Academy to perish, and perish it must."]
["No one is allowed to support Shrek during this time; no one is allowed to spread this news. Otherwise, be prepared to face my wrath!"]
[Xu Jiawei said coldly. After all, he is still the king of a country; when he speaks, he intimidates.]
[Upon hearing Xu Jiawei's order, the people below immediately set about executing the matter.]
[While they described the situation, they did not provide too many details; however, they conveyed the matter's significance, which led the major forces and nobles on the Douluo Continent to understand the situation clearly.]
[They realized that this time, Shrek Academy was done for. Under these circumstances, being tied to Shrek Academy was not favorable.]
[At this moment, in Shrek Academy,]
[Wang Yan and others, who had initially been filled with confidence, returned empty-handed and now looked extremely grim.]
[As they sat in the conference room, their expressions turned cold. None of them understood why the major forces, which had previously scrambled to curry favor with Shrek Academy, were unwilling to help them now.]
[What is going on?]
[At this moment, Zhang Lexuan, Beibei, Du Weilun, and others all arrived.]
[They were unaware that Wang Yan and the others had been turned away and therefore had high expectations. They hurried forward and asked Wang Yan and the others directly, "How did it go? Teacher Wang Yan, did you achieve any results this time?"]
[They all expected Wang Yan to provide a positive answer. Unfortunately, he could not nod affirmatively because they truly returned without good news.]
[Everyone sighed, and then Wang Yan, as a representative, said, "This time, I don't know what happened. In the past, whether it was the three empires or other forces on Douluo Continent, they always proactively sought our favor."]
["But this time, upon seeing us, it was as if they faced the plague. Although they did not show overt hostility towards us, they have become extremely cold when interacting with us. They even deliberately distanced themselves from us. This is something I cannot fathom."]
[Wang Yan continued recounting all that he experienced during this outing.]
[This caused everyone in Shrek Academy to feel utterly shocked, as they had not expected matters to turn out this way. It was completely beyond common sense.]
["How could this happen?"]
[Upon hearing this, Beibei's expression suddenly became worried.]
[Even Zhang Lexuan, who had previously felt completely confident, grew somewhat anxious. She said, "Mr. Mu and the others haven't returned yet."]
["Could it be that something truly happened to them? And that only the people of Shrek Academy remain oblivious to the truth?"]
["Otherwise, I cannot comprehend why things have turned out like this."]
[Just then, a teacher from Shrek Academy burst in anxiously.]
"It's bad, everyone, it's not good!"
Upon hearing the teacher's words, the mood of those present soured significantly. The current situation was already dire; the teacher seemed to bring even more bad news, which was truly unsettling.
So, Beibei, Du Weilun, and others instinctively did not want to heed the matter.
Yet they understood it was futile to avoid certain issues, so even if they were displeased, they had to confront the situation.
Not long after, Du Weilun asked the Shrek Academy teacher, "Teacher Li, what happened? Why do you look so panicked?"
Once Du Weilun spoke, the teacher named Li replied, "Many students in our Shrek Academy were forcibly taken away by their parents, and some even dropped out of school!"]
["And those students are all children of nobles, including a disciple from a prominent family. They had supported us before, even promising to seek assistance from their families for Shrek Academy. I never expected it would end like this."]
[Upon hearing this, Du Weilun, Beibei, and the others' expressions turned grim. Shock washed over their faces, and they couldn't help but exclaim, "How could this happen?"]
["At such a critical moment, why did these people withdraw the ladder?"]
[Finally, Zhang Lexuan confirmed her earlier suspicion. She said, "It seems that matters have indeed become... very complicated. This time, it's likely as I suspected before."]
["It's highly plausible that something has happened to the senior executives of our Shrek Academy."]
["And what our Shrek Academy relies on most is the upper management. If anything happens to them, then our academy will be rendered worthless. Thus, I can only conclude this possibility; otherwise, the attitudes of the major forces towards us would not have shifted so drastically."]
[Beibei interjected, "But Xuan Zu and his men are exceptionally strong! How could such a thing occur?"]
[Zhang Lexuan sighed and said, "I don't want to believe that this is true. However, honestly, so much time has passed, and this incident is so significant. If Mr. Mu and his team could escape, they would have returned long ago."]
["But the problem is, they still have not appeared."]
[Upon hearing Zhang Lexuan's words, everyone fell silent.]
[Afterward, they all looked at Zhang Lexuan and began asking her what to do next. Although she wasn't the eldest among them, she possessed the highest qualifications and status, having already been admitted to the Sea God Pavilion.]
[In this situation, everyone was inclined to follow Zhang Lexuan's command and guidance.]
[Zhang Lexuan was not vague at this time; she recognized someone needed to take charge. She stated directly, "I believe our next step is to determine what happened to the senior leaders of our Shrek Academy."]
["Since so many nobles and forces have rejected negotiations with us now, it indicates they possess certain information. If we are unable to uncover what has happened to our leaders, we'll have to begin with these nobles and sects."]
[Zhang Lexuan expressed her thoughts clearly, and the others around her felt a sense of acknowledgment upon hearing her rationale.]
[So, they wasted no time and swiftly got to work.]
[On the other side, in the Body Sect.]
[When confronted by Huo Yuhao, the four empires were filled with trepidation. Huo Yuhao's strength was now formidable, and with such a terrifying entity looming over them, they had to be cautious in all their actions, fearing that one misstep would trigger Huo Yuhao's wrath, resulting in the annihilation of their countries.]
[Thus, after making decisions and achieving milestones, they directly reported to Huo Yuhao at the Body Sect. At this moment, it unfolded like this.]
[The emperors of the four empires stood respectfully before Huo Yuhao as he held the reports they had brought to examine.]
[After reading them, Huo Yuhao finally made his stance clear: "Well done; you may continue with this approach."]
[Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, the emperors collectively sighed with relief and then expressed their gratitude: "Thank you, Lord Yuhao. We will continue to work hard."]
