Upon hearing the name Wang Chen, Ye Xishui's first thought was that it was impossible.
Ye Xishui was all too familiar with Wang Chen—the top genius of the Sun Moon Empire, Kong Deming's disciple, the emperor's son-in-law, and the one who had killed a Titled Douluo from her Holy Spirit Cult.
To eliminate Wang Chen, Ye Xishui had even dispatched a Super Douluo to monitor him, ready to kill him the moment he left Mingdu, ensuring he would be snuffed out before he could grow further.
Most crucially, Wang Chen was only fifteen years old. How could someone so young possess the combat strength of a Limit Douluo?
Could it be someone with the same name?
Mu En noticed Ye Xishui's pupils contract, revealing a shocked expression, and immediately asked, "What's wrong, Xishui? Do you know Wang Chen?"
Ye Xishui shook her head and said, "I don't know him, but I've heard of him. I'm not sure if it's the same person.
Mu En, tell me about this Wang Chen's appearance, what soul skills he used, and what soul tools. If I ever come across him, I'll kill him on the spot to avenge you."
Ye Xishui had two motives for saying this: first, to confirm whether this Wang Chen was the one she knew; second, to gather intelligence on him so she could gain the upper hand in a future confrontation.
Hearing Ye Xishui's words, Mu En was somewhat surprised. With his life force nearly depleted and death approaching, he was worried about how Shrek Academy would deal with Wang Chen in the future. Since Ye Xishui was offering, Mu En naturally wouldn't refuse.
Moreover, if Ye Xishui was going after Wang Chen, it meant Long Xiaoyao would likely act as well—a two-for-one deal.
The combination of Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao was stronger than him and Song Jie. Due to his age and paralyzed condition, Mu En's original strength had been severely damaged, and his combat ability had declined significantly from his peak. Song Jie, meanwhile, lacked sufficient mastery over spatial power due to his younger age.
Although Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao were also advanced in years, their life forces were still robust, and they could easily live another fifty years. They had a real chance of dealing with Wang Chen.
Without hesitation, Mu En shared everything he knew about Wang Chen with Ye Xishui.
Since Wang Chen had been wearing soul tool armor with a faceplate covering his features, his appearance couldn't be determined. However, Mu En clearly remembered the soul skills and weapons he used.
For instance, a soul tool spear that could lock down space, a ring-explosion secret technique, a white domain…
As Mu En spoke, Ye Xishui grew increasingly convinced that the Wang Chen he described matched the one she knew.
Wang Chen had once fought a Titled Douluo from her Holy Spirit Cult in public, so much of his information wasn't a secret.
The fact that their domain abilities were identical was proof enough—there was no need to say more. It had to be the same person.
Domain-wielding powerhouses were exceedingly rare, like phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. There were no two people with the same domain.
Thus, Ye Xishui was certain that the Wang Chen who killed Yan Shaozhe was the same Wang Chen she knew.
As for the space-locking soul tool, Ye Xishui surmised it must have been taught to Wang Chen by Kong Deming.
Ye Xishui knew Kong Deming personally; many components of her exclusive soul tool, the Death God Tower, had been crafted by him.
She knew that in the entire Sun Moon Empire, only Kong Deming had the expertise to create spatial soul tools. As his disciple, it wasn't surprising that Wang Chen had learned the skill.
With her enemy identified, Ye Xishui's hatred finally had a target.
As the saying goes, old and new grudges would be settled together. Wang Chen had previously killed a Titled Douluo evil soul master from the Holy Spirit Cult, and now he was responsible for Yan Shaozhe's death. Moreover, Wang Chen's threat was too great, severely disrupting the balance between the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Empire.
These factors combined to place Wang Chen at the top of Ye Xishui's kill list.
In her heart, Ye Xishui thought, "Well, well, well, what a Wang Chen. Truly the Sun Moon Empire's top genius.
But I will kill you, extract your soul, and torment it day and night! Your soul will never find release! The same goes for your parents and your woman!"
In that moment, Ye Xishui's eyes turned blood-red, her killing intent surging uncontrollably. The sharp killing intent even triggered a reaction from the Golden Tree.
Mu En, witnessing Ye Xishui's murderous demeanor, couldn't help but be moved.
He hadn't expected Ye Xishui to harbor such deep feelings for him, erupting with such intense killing intent upon learning of his enemy.
As Mu En was lost in thought, Ye Xishui's figure transformed into a streak of blood-red light and swiftly departed.
Clearly, having obtained information about her enemy, Ye Xishui had no patience to linger and chat with Mu En.
She was now eager to return to the Sun Moon Empire to see if she could intercept Wang Chen outside Mingdu and kill him.
If Wang Chen made it back to Mingdu, killing him would become much harder.
…
Not long after Ye Xishui left, a majestic thousand-meter-long dragon appeared in the sky above Shrek Academy, its resounding dragon roar echoing through the clouds.
The higher-ups of Shrek Academy, as well as the teachers and students of the inner courtyard, looked at the dragon with tears in their eyes.
As golden light scattered, the countless golden specks transformed from the white dragon converged toward the Golden Tree.
A radiant golden tree's silhouette emerged, its light blotting out the sky, its roots sprawling to cover the entire Sea God Island.
As the golden light from the white dragon dissipated, the golden tree's silhouette vanished along with it.
"Teacher!!"
"Great-Grandfather!!"
"Elder Mu!!"
Cries of grief echoed throughout Shrek Academy. The passing of Dragon God Douluo Mu En, who had led Shrek Academy for two hundred years, dealt a heavy blow to everyone.
However, most were unaware that, due to Shrek Academy's lack of successors, Xianzi's limited capabilities, and the younger generation's failure to mature, Mu En had fused his soul into the Golden Tree.
This way, if a powerful enemy invaded, his soul could still draw on the Golden Tree's power to protect Shrek Academy.
From within the Golden Tree, Mu En's soul gazed upon Shrek Academy. He first looked at Xianzi and the other higher-ups.
Then his gaze shifted to Zhang Lexuan, Ma Xiaotao, and Beibei.
He sighed inwardly, "Grow up quickly… there isn't much time left…"
—
One hour later, at the border between the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Sun Moon Empire.
Wang Chen looked at the Heavenly Soul Empire's soul master legion, composed of numerous soul tools, powerful soul masters above the Soul King rank, and several Titled Douluo, and gave a disdainful smirk.
His entire being transformed into a streak of black light, charging straight through the border.
With Wang Chen's current strength, who on the continent could stop him?
"Someone's breaking through! Someone's breaking through!!"
Boom!!
A thousand-meter-long spear beam crashed down heavily, blasting the border open. A massive, endless rift appeared.
Everyone, including the Titled Douluo, was stunned, left staring dumbfounded as the black light soared past the border and gradually disappeared into the distance…
