Chapter 163 Moon begins to arrange his affairs
"But—how is that possible!" Moon felt a sense of panic.
No snow during the Great Cold, ice is unparalleled, snow dances under the bright sun.
Snow Empress's three ultimate techniques are known to anyone with a little knowledge in Douluo Continent. As the current Limit Douluo and the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, Mu En naturally has a very broad range of information.
More importantly, he had recently traveled to the far north for Huo Yuhao's martial soul, and had a deep impression of the far north recently.
When Xian Lin'er finished describing how Lin Nuo killed Cai Mei'er and Lin Huiqun in the Star Dou Great Forest, that iconic performance immediately reminded him of the Snow Emperor's three ultimate techniques.
But just as he had in mind.
How is that possible!
How could the Snow Emperor's Three Wonders possibly appear in a human being?
However, the kind of palm technique that requires close-range release, instantly freezing life and annihilating all consciousness upon impact, perfectly matches the description of a severe cold without snow.
Lin Nuo's martial soul... is clearly Blue Silver Grass!
What exactly caused him to possess the Snow Empress's methods?
Could it be the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo from the Star Luo City auction?
If that 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo was indeed the embryo transformed from the Snow Empress, and the Snow Empress was fused with Lin Nuo and completely became his power, then it would be only natural that he possessed the Snow Empress's ultimate techniques and could kill a Title Douluo at the Soul Saint stage.
According to Shrek Academy's records, once an individual reaches the Soul Saint level, they are qualified to fight alongside a Title Douluo.
Moreover, he obtained the power of the Snow Empress, which not only gave him an even stronger ultimate ice than Huo Yuhao, but also allowed him to unleash the Snow Empress's Three Absolute Techniques.
If that's true, then Cai Meier and Lin Huiqun's deaths were not unjust at all.
"Why isn't such a monster a member of Shrek Academy?" Moon's eyes were complicated, but his killing intent toward Lin Nuo was growing stronger than when Lin Nuo killed Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo not long ago.
Now that they are confirmed to be mortal enemies, no matter how talented or brilliant the other party is, Moon must eliminate them.
But—now is not the time.
Huo Yuhao's "training" is not yet complete, and his successor has not yet been determined. Mu En cannot exchange one for one with Lin Nuo for the time being, although he feels that even if he were to exchange one for one, it would be a very worthwhile thing.
But now, Shrek really can't live without him.
Xuanzi was originally capable of taking over his position, but this good-for-nothing was just too disappointing. Mu En was too lazy to even talk to him anymore, leaving him to stand there meekly, ready to be scolded. Mu En didn't even bother to look at him.
It's pointless, there's no point in talking about it, you're hopeless.
If Xuanzi had been reliable enough, Cai Meier and Lin Huiqun would not have died this time. It was because of his absence that Shrek Academy lost two more Title Douluos and two elders of the Sea God Pavilion.
At this point, Moon was too lazy to even investigate why he was absent.
It's pointless now.
punish?
Do you think a dead pig would be afraid of being scalded with boiling water?
As Shrek Academy's strongest fighter besides Moon, Moon could not punish him too severely. Too harsh a punishment might cause him to rebel, while too lenient a punishment would be completely meaningless.
Even in order to ensure that Xuanzi continues to dedicate himself to Shrek Academy, Mu En has to take care of his emotions and keep him in high spirits so that he doesn't become discouraged.
Moon: Tired? Let's destroy it.
"Let's leave it at that. We couldn't keep him in the Star Dou Great Forest this time, and there won't be another chance," Mu En said slowly after a long silence.
"How can this be, Elder Mu!" Xuanzi exclaimed anxiously, "That brat Lin Nuo is already a threat to Title Douluos, and he's only at the seventh ring! If we don't eliminate him now, his threat will only grow stronger in the future!"
"So what?" Moon stared at him coldly, his eyes sharp as knives. "What do you plan to do? Lead the Sea God Pavilion to storm the Sun Moon Empire, then let everyone die there, completely severing the legacy of Shrek Academy?"
"Xuanzi, I ask you, do you wish to bear the eternal infamy of Shrek Academy's destruction?"
Xuanzi: Ahem, Elder Mu, I actually think this is a good reputation.
"No, I'll go myself!" Xuanzi's eyes were firm and resolute. "The fault this time is mine. I know I'm a good-for-nothing bastard. My old life is not worth losing!"
"If I can use my old life to eliminate one of the academy's greatest enemies, I will do it without hesitation! No matter how strong he is, he's just a Soul Saint. At worst, I'll infiltrate Mingdu, find him, and self-destruct my soul core in front of him. I refuse to believe he can survive that!"
"Shut up!" Moon slammed his hand on the long table in front of him, his face extremely ugly.
"Someone has to sacrifice themselves, but that person won't be you, Xuanzi! You'll spare your worthless life for me, but from now on you're not allowed to step out of the academy even once. Even if you're on your last breath, you must protect the academy for me!"
"As for Lin Nuo and the others, I will personally go to Mingdu after I have finished arranging my affairs to settle things with him. From now on, the academy will be in your hands."
"Elder Mu, this—." Song Yunzhi's expression changed, and she quickly stood up, wanting to say something, but Mu En stopped her by raising his hand.
"Little Song, I know what you want to say, but some things have to be done." Mu En's eyes calmed down, as if the burden on his shoulders had been completely lifted at this moment. "I don't have much time left. Two years? Three years? Even I don't know how much longer I can hold on."
"The academy cannot rely on this old man, who is already close to his neck, forever. I only hope that after I am gone, you can preserve the academy's legacy and not become the eternal sinners who will cause the academy's destruction—"
Others wanted to offer advice, but they simply couldn't bring themselves to speak.
Moon's mind was made up; no one could change his decision.
Immediately afterwards, Moon began making arrangements for his funeral.
First and foremost is Huo Yuhao. Mu En not only imparted all his life experience and abilities to him, but also tried his best to cultivate Huo Yuhao's recognition of Shrek Academy.
However, Mu En acted a bit too hastily. He knew he didn't have much time left, so he used a slightly more aggressive method. If it were Huo Yuhao from the original story, he definitely wouldn't have been able to see it clearly, but the current Huo Yuhao noticed something unusual.
However, he did not reveal any flaws, and instead continued to learn from Mu En respectfully and obediently.
In addition, Moon also issued his final order as the head of the Sea God Pavilion.
At all costs, the entire resources of Shrek Academy will be used to support the Soul Guidance Department and fully develop Soul Guidance technology.
