Chapter 125 The Tragedy of the Dragon God Douluo

"Su Yu, don't you feel this is very unfair? In the Shrek Academy Supervisory Group, you saved Chen Zifeng and Yao Haoxuan. Later, under your leadership, our Shrek Academy continued its glory. However, to prevent discord within the team, you voluntarily gave up the title of Shrek Seven Devils. But you got nothing in return."

Looking at Su Yu, who had a solemn expression, Elder Mu slowly spoke.

"I know you've never owed the academy anything; it's the academy that owes you, and it's Shrek Academy that has wronged you."

Su Yu knew that Mu En had told him so much in the hope that he would not become enemies with Shrek Academy in the future, but who could predict the future?

Shrek Academy can be considered Tang San's backyard. As long as Tang San is still alive, Shrek Academy will never have an enemy that can destroy it.

"Elder Mu, actually, when I was imprisoned by Di Tian in the Star Dou Great Forest, you were the only one who went to the Star Dou Great Forest to negotiate with Di Tian. I, Su Yu, have always remembered this. Elder Mu, I..."

Su Yu took a deep breath to calm his somewhat excited emotions.

Wang Dong was also somewhat emotional, and tears welled up in her bright eyes.

Now he is over 1.7 meters tall, and his handsome face can only be described as exquisite. As he gets older, his facial features seem to have become softer. His big pink and blue eyes are sparkling, and his long, curled eyelashes are trembling slightly.

"Xuanzi, gather the disciples of the inner courtyard and have the people from the Sea God Pavilion come over."

Elder Xuan nodded, suppressing his grief, and turned to disappear from everyone's sight.

With Huo Yuhao and Su Yu's help, Old Master Mu slowly lay back on the recliner, closed his eyes, and waited quietly.

Before long, Elder Xuan returned. His gaze was solemn and his expression was sorrowful. He stared at Elder Mu for a long time without saying a word, and finally, he could only let out a helpless sigh.

Outside the Sea God Pavilion, a total of 68 inner court disciples sat quietly cross-legged in front of the door. In the original story, there were only 67 inner court disciples, but now, because of Su Yu's appearance, Yao Haoxuan's life was saved, so there are 68 people.

Among these sixty-eight people, sitting at the very front was a young woman of about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, who was Zhang Lexuan, the eldest disciple of the inner courtyard.

Her long black hair cascaded down to her waist, her delicate face was fair and flawless, and her hands, except for her thumbs, were crossed with the other eight fingers touching, resting quietly on her calves as she sat cross-legged. Her tranquil and gentle temperament was unforgettable at first sight.

Behind her, the other sixty-six inner court disciples, none of whom were over thirty years old, stood quietly in ten rows, each maintaining the same posture as her.

Among them, Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng were in the second row behind her. Ling Luochen, Chen Zifeng, Xixi, and Gongyang Mo, whom Huo Yuhao was familiar with, were also among them. However, their seating arrangements varied according to their cultivation levels; apart from Dai Yueheng and Ma Xiaotao in the first row, the others were in positions further back.

This ranking was actually based on strength. As Su Yu quietly observed the senior sister of the inner courtyard, he saw the girl sitting at the front slowly open her eyes. A pair of bright and wise black eyes revealed deep sadness, and tears flowed down her beautiful face.

Her respect for Mu En was no less than that for Huo Yuhao, and her love for Shrek Academy was no less than that for anyone else.

Not only Zhang Lexuan, but even the usually strong-willed Ma Xiaotao had red eyes and an unconcealable sadness on her face.

Dai Yueheng's gaze lingered on Zhang Lexuan. Perhaps only this woman of unparalleled beauty could be regarded as the dream goddess by the male students of the inner academy.

Silence, nothing but silence.

In this extremely oppressive atmosphere, even the new generation of Shrek Seven Devils, who were still in the outer courtyard, couldn't help but burst into tears.

Su Yu stared at the crowd, lost in thought. Perhaps, this was the charm of Shrek Academy...

Or perhaps it's simply a matter of Moon's personal charisma...

…………

As everyone gathered, Elder Mu's complexion gradually became rosy, and he slowly opened his eyes to look at the people in the Sea God Pavilion.

These eyes, no longer clouded and dejected, were replaced by unparalleled clarity and deep blue pupils like the ocean.

"Children, don't cry."

A faint smile appeared on Old Mu's face. His pale complexion had become incredibly rosy, and even his spirits had improved significantly.

However, this was not a good sign. Old Master Mu, who was on his deathbed, had suddenly improved. This was most likely because...

A final burst of energy before death!

"Teacher, don't leave me!" Huo Yuhao knelt down beside Mu En with a thud, crying in anguish.

"Ancestor Xuanzu!"

The seven monsters knelt down one after another before Mu En. What surprised everyone the most was Bei Bei. If Su Yu hadn't already known that Mu En was Bei Bei's ancestor, he probably would have been really shocked.

Looking at the kind-faced Mu En before him, Su Yu slowly bent down and kowtowed to this respected old man.

Both Su Yu and Su Xinyuan have some connection with Mu En. However, Su Yu is not very clear about these things. He only vaguely remembers that his family once recorded that a certain strongman from Shrek Academy had some connection with the Su family when he traveled across the continent.

According to Su Xinyuan, he experienced a family upheaval when he was young. Later, by chance, he joined Shrek Academy, and the person who saved him was Mu En.

This is why Mu En was also familiar with Su Xinyuan. Previously, when Su Yu and Elder Mu were together, Elder Mu was obviously also familiar with Su Xinyuan.

It's a pity that Su Xinyuan couldn't come here; otherwise, Su Xinyuan's condition wouldn't necessarily be much better than Huo Yuhao's.

Watching Elder Mu's spirits gradually return to their peak, Su Yu sighed inwardly, "Perhaps this is the last thing I can do for you, Elder Mu, may you rest in peace..."

Old Master Mu smiled as he looked at the eight children kneeling before him. "Silly children, why are you crying? I have lived in this world for over two hundred years, which is more than the vast majority of humans. Isn't such a long life something to be happy about?"

I've spent almost my entire life at Shrek Academy. Being able to protect the academy and watch batches of children like you grow up is my greatest pride. Seeing your vibrant energy makes my heart feel younger.

Today, I am leaving, but I hope you will all see me off happily. Looking at you all, and all the students of Shrek Academy, I can die in peace.

Inheriting the light of the sea god, they were able to connect with the will of the divine realm, but they could only perish here. Even those of unparalleled talent could not escape the fate of birth, aging, sickness, and death.

After Elder Mu finished giving instructions to everyone, it was Su Yu's turn last.

"Su Yu, your path is longer than I imagined. In the future, perhaps Shrek Academy will truly produce a level 10 Soul Master, or even the next Limit Douluo!"

At this moment, Elder Mu turned his gaze to Wang Dong and said, "Wang Dong, do you think I'm biased? Whether it's Su Yu or Yu Hao, I've never given you any guidance, right?"

Wang Dong paused for a moment, wiped away the tears in his eyes, and nodded gently instead of lying.

Elder Mu smiled slightly and said, "That's because I see a veil of mystery surrounding you. I can't see your past, much less your future. Perhaps you're not much less talented than Su Yu and Yu Hao, but whenever I try to understand you, I sense an aura about you that sends shivers down my spine. I can confirm that you are human, not a soul beast. But the secret within you will surely become..."

At this point, Elder Mu's breathing rose and fell rapidly, and he managed to say, "I've already explained things to you and Su Yu. For the next few years, you should stay in the inner courtyard and cultivate diligently until he returns."

Su Yu knew that Elder Mu would never say it, and even if he did, he would be forcibly stopped.

As for when Elder Mu said, "I've already explained your affair with Su Yu," Su Yu immediately guessed why Huo was subsequently tortured so badly, largely because Elder Mu had secretly informed on him.

It's just that now I'm the unlucky one, but since things have come to this, it doesn't matter what I say anymore.

As for the "him" that Elder Mu asked Wang Dong to wait for, it is probably that God King.

"The ancestors of Shrek, Moon, have arrived."

With his last words, Elder Mu's voice suddenly amplified, and a burst of intense golden light erupted from his body. Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Su Yu were instantly pushed away, and Elder Mu's body slowly floated up from the recliner.

Two yellow, one purple, three black, and three red—nine complete spirit rings slowly appeared on his body, and an incomparably loud dragon roar suddenly rang out.

Two yellows might not be anything special, but one purple, three blacks, and three reds are the biggest highlights.

As someone who dominated an entire era, his spirit rings undoubtedly proved his strength. The fourth ring was ten thousand years, and the seventh ring was one hundred thousand years. Such a spirit ring ratio was unmatched even by any of the Shrek Seven Devils except for Tang San.

Su Yu was certain that Mu En was definitely stronger than Long Xiaoyao, because even Long Xiaoyao didn't have such a luxurious soul ring configuration!

Long Xiaoyao's soul ring configuration is two yellow, two purple, three black, and two red. The difference between the two cannot be determined instantly!

Under Moon's golden light, the entire Sea God Pavilion instantly turned into a brilliant gold, and a huge golden pillar of light suddenly shot up from the Sea God Pavilion, illuminating the entire Shrek Academy, and even Shrek City, in gold.

Bathed in golden light, Mu Lao's hunched body slowly straightened up under the watchful eyes of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion and the Shrek Seven Devils. His aged face was becoming younger at an astonishing speed, and even his withered body was gradually becoming fuller.

With hope and reluctance in his eyes, Elder Mu silently looked at the people before him, raised his right hand, and gently waved. His gaze ultimately remained on Huo Yuhao, and no more words were uttered, only his kind and warm gaze remained.

The golden light began to grow stronger and stronger, and Elder Mu also became younger and younger, gradually transforming from his original aged appearance into that of a young man.

This is how Elder Mu departed in the end. In the end, Elder Mu's last power transformed into a pure white Holy Dragon of Light and disappeared in the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Elder Mu raised his arms to his sides, and the intense golden light in the air successively transformed into crimson gold, orange gold, golden gold, green gold, cyan gold, blue gold, and purple gold. The moment the final purple gold turned into white gold, Elder Mu laughed heartily, followed by an incredibly resounding dragon roar. With a flick of his body, he transformed into a white dragon radiating intense golden light and vanished into thin air.

That high-pitched and resounding dragon roar echoed throughout the entire Star Dou Great Forest, even waking the sleeping Silver Dragon King.

Perhaps, this is what the Holy Dragon of Light looks like, and this is the true form of the nine Dragon Kings of the Dragon Clan!

Limit Douluo, Sea God Pavilion Master, and Holy Dragon of Light Mu En, has fallen!

Unable to accept this fact, Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei fell into a coma amidst immense grief. Su Yu looked up and gazed at Elder Mu's slowly fading figure.

Elder Mu's body transformed into countless golden specks of light, merging into the golden tree of the Sea God Pavilion. Before leaving, Elder Mu looked at Su Yu with satisfaction, and a voice rang in Su Yu's ear, "The academy has always been indebted to you. Now, let me give you a final gift as compensation from the academy..."

The countless golden rays did not merge into Huo Yuhao's body, but were given to Su Yu. This gift represents Shrek Academy's debt to Su Yu!

All the countless golden points of light that the white dragon had transformed into converged toward the direction of the Sea God Pavilion, and a huge golden light and shadow slowly emerged as if it were stretching out its body.

It was a huge tree with a brilliant golden color. Even though it was just light and shadow, it grew to a height of a hundred meters as it slowly stretched out, its roots spreading and covering the entire Poseidon Island in an instant.

The phantom of the white dragon flashed and disappeared above the tree. All the light energy surged away in an instant, and the light and shadow of the tree gradually subsided, returning to the Sea God Pavilion and slowly disappearing.

Old Mu is gone. Although his soul merged with the Golden Tree, he has left them forever.

As he watched the illusory image of the Holy Dragon of Light slowly dissipate, Su Yu solemnly kowtowed to Elder Mu, his eyes no longer filled with any lingering affection for Shrek Academy...

Mr. Mu, you have finally passed away.

However, you must wait for me, I will resurrect you...

The following day, the news spread, shaking the entire Douluo Continent.

Mu En, the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, Limit Douluo, Dragon God Douluo, the strongest person in Shrek Academy, and the owner of the Holy Light Dragon Martial Soul, has fallen!

Moon's death also marked the end of an era.

So, whose era will be the next one?

Or perhaps, who will rule the next era...?

Please bear with it. I spent the whole day traveling, so if I can guarantee the quality, I can't guarantee the quantity. It's still 4,000 words as usual...
