281: Chapter 281 Starry Sky Beasts Demand Payment, Shrek Academy Suffers Heavy Losses

After the dust settled, the large crater on the ground gradually revealed the figure of Mu En.

At this moment, his condition was extremely poor; he was spitting out mouthfuls of blood, his already hunched back was even more bent, and his body was covered in blood.

Di Tian descended from the sky, arrived in front of Mu En, and looked at Mu En with disdain.

"Mu En, pay the debt or lose your life, choose for yourself."

"Don't blame me for not warning you; if you and Xuan Zi, the two trump cards of Shrek, were to die here, you know very well what kind of impact that would have on Shrek."

"You wouldn't want the Legacy of Shrek to disappear just like that, would you?"

Di Tian's words were filled with the flavor of the Dragon Clan.

After hearing Di Tian's threat, Mu En's body trembled violently, and his mind became clearer than ever before.

"Di Tian, we Shrek Academy, will pay the debt."

Things having reached this point, no matter what Di Tian proposed, he had to agree.

Otherwise, he, Xuan Zi, and Yan Shaozhe would never be able to leave the Star Dou Great Forest today.

Looking at Di Tian, Mu En was extremely puzzled.

Why was this Beast God of the Star Dou Great Forest so fearless?

Usually, Di Tian upheld the idea of "not engaging in conflict with Shrek."

Mu En had his own guesses about this; he felt that Di Tian was afraid of the Sea God behind Shrek.

But now, Di Tian had completely lost his reverence for Divinity, which caused Mu En to lose control over today's situation.

"Good, Mu En, I naturally keep my word. As long as you pay the debt, I will let you leave the Star Dou Great Forest."

Di Tian made a promise to Mu En.

Di Tian looked up toward the distance, where a group of Vicious Beasts were beating up Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe.

"Everyone, stop."

Hearing this, the Vicious Beasts reluctantly threw Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe onto the ground.

The two stumbled to their feet and came to Mu En's side.

"Old Mu, are you alright?"

Although the two were already covered in wounds, in their hearts, Mu En's safety was more important.

"My life is nearing its end."

Mu En stated his physical condition.

Before battling Di Tian, he could still have lived for a few years.

But now, he could hold on for at most a few months.

Unless there was a massive Opportunity to change his fate, he would undoubtedly die.

Knowing Mu En's condition, Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe were both silent on the spot.

This news was too much of a blow to them.

"Alright, don't be sad; first, think about returning to Shrek."

Mu En began to comfort the two.

Immediately after, Mu En turned his gaze to Di Tian opposite him.

"Di Tian, what is your request?"

Mu En had already prepared himself to be heavily extorted by Di Tian.

"Sixty percent of Shrek's resources."

Hearing this, Mu En trembled, but it didn't take long for him to calm down.

Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe were flushed with anger, very dissatisfied with Di Tian's huge appetite, but helpless.

But it wasn't over yet.

Di Tian's eyes stared straight at Mu En.

"Mu En, I know you still have a treasure that belongs to our Dragon Clan."

Hearing this, Mu En's heart sank; the thing he least wanted to happen was ultimately going to happen.

"Our Dragon Clan's Dragon Core, you should return it to us; that is not something you should possess."

Di Tian said in a threatening tone.

He hadn't known about the Dragon Core originally; it was Zi Ji from another timeline who told him.

Since he already knew, Di Tian had to reclaim it for the Dragon Clan.

Don't know how much time passed.

Mu En let out a long sigh, his cloudy eyes looking at Di Tian.

"Di Tian, I agree to all of your requests."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu En took out the Dragon Core he had always carried with him, which no longer had any vicious aura, and used his Soul Power to hand it to Di Tian opposite him.

In his thoughts, this Dragon Core was meant to be given to his Legacy successor, or given to Xuan Zi, to give him a chance to Breakthrough to Limit Douluo, so he could better guard Shrek Academy.

But now, this idea of his was completely shattered.

At the same time, he was very confused; how on earth did Di Tian know he had a Dragon Core on him?

He had never told anyone about this matter.

Di Tian took the Dragon Core and put it away.

"The Dragon Core has been given; tell that big pig-head to go back and get the resources."

After getting the Dragon Core, Di Tian ordered Mu En to do another thing.

But immediately after.

He seemed to have thought of something, his gaze locked tightly onto Yan Shaozhe.

"Also, that big pig-head, let me remind you: don't think about trying to fool me. Once I discover that you've shortchanged me, don't blame me for keeping Mu En and Xuan Zi in the Star Dou Great Forest forever."

Upon hearing this, the lucky thought in Yan Shaozhe's heart was instantly thrown to the back of his mind.

With his teacher Mu En involved, he didn't dare to gamble.

He ran errands again, left the Star Dou Great Forest, and headed back in the direction of Shrek Academy.

After returning to Shrek Academy.

Yan Shaozhe convened a Sea God Pavilion meeting and recounted the events in the Star Dou Great Forest.

With Mu En and Xuan Zi involved, no matter how unwilling the Sea God Pavilion elders were, they could only grit their teeth, swallow this grievance, and then do their utmost to prepare the resources.

After preparing the resources and loading them all into a storage spirit tool, Yan Shaozhe took these resources and rushed toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

Star Dou Great Forest.

Di Tian took the storage spirit tool handed over by Yan Shaozhe.

A sweep of his Divine Thought.

When he saw sixty percent of Shrek Academy's resources, a flash of shock appeared in Di Tian's eyes.

Shrek's foundation was deeper than he had imagined.

"Alright, you can go."

After getting the resources and the Dragon Core, Di Tian also kept his promise and let the three of them, Mu En, Xuan Zi, and Yan Shaozhe, go.

The next moment.

The figures of Mu En, Xuan Zi, and Yan Shaozhe disappeared from the spot.

After a period of time.

When the three of them, Mu En, covered in injuries, returned to Shrek Academy.

Thinking of the price paid for the trip to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Even Mu En, this Limit Douluo who had lived for nearly two hundred years, couldn't help but shed tears.

"Shrek ancestors, I, Mu En, have failed you; I was unable to guard Shrek Academy well."

After repenting in his heart, Mu En quickly adjusted his mindset.

"Shaozhe, go convene a Sea God Pavilion meeting."

Now what he needed to do was ensure that Shrek could continue its Legacy.

Ten-plus minutes later, in the Sea God Pavilion.

Mu En sat at the head, his gaze sweeping over the Sea God Pavilion elders below.

"Everyone, I won't live long; I can only hold on for a few months."

"I am now announcing three things."

"First, after I die, Xuan Zi will inherit the position of Sea God Pavilion Master."

Speaking to this point, Mu En looked at Xuan Zi, his expression more serious than ever.

"Xuan Zi, after you become Sea God Pavilion Master, what you must do is be low-key, do not be combative, and lead Shrek Academy to continue its Legacy well."

"Old Mu, I understand."

Xuan Zi responded.

Although he received Xuan Zi's promise, Mu En also knew Xuan Zi's nature, and could only pray that when Xuan Zi caused trouble in the future, he would be able to recall his words today.
