Heaven Dou City generates a lot of garbage every day, but there are very few places to dispose of it.
Therefore, the alley where Tang San had fallen was one of the city's garbage dumps.
"Did I come to the wrong place? Is this still Shrek Academy?"
Tang San rubbed his eyes, looking at everything in disbelief.
Entering the garbage transfer station, he found it filled with all sorts of trash: bags, rotten fruits and vegetables, and tattered clothes—a wide variety and complete selection.
Tang San continued walking, stopping at a familiar spot.
Before him stood a monument, the Monument of Shame erected by the Heaven Dou Empire.
Even after Tang San had been in the City of Slaughter for seven years, the monument still stood.
However, it was slightly different; the monument was damaged, with a crack running from top to bottom, showing signs of being rejoined, indicating that someone had later reassembled it.
"A great disgrace!"
Tang San overturned the monument with a single blow, his anger soaring!
This was undoubtedly Shrek Academy, but the once magnificent Shrek Academy had long since vanished.
"Heaven Dou Empire! You've gone too far!"
Emperor Xue Ye once said that if the Monument of Shame were destroyed, Shrek Academy would have no reason to exist.
Back when Yu Xiaogang died in tears, Liu Erlong, overwhelmed with grief and hatred, overturned the Monument of Shame!
This overturning directly led to the demise of Shrek Academy!
It was just a high-level Soul Master Academy; the royal family had many ways to deal with them.
The academy was disbanded, its teachers scattered, even Zhao Wuji left. Shrek Academy became an empty shell, eventually being transformed into a garbage dump to serve the people of Heaven Dou City.
The Monument of Shame that Tang San later rebuilt was a later addition.
"Who's there?"
An aged yet familiar voice rang out, causing Tang San to tense up, his six Soul Rings lighting up as he prepared for battle.
When he saw who it was, Tang San was stunned.
"Dean Flander? You're Dean Flander?"
The person standing before Tang San was emaciated, dressed in tattered clothes, wearing yellowed and cracked crystal glasses. Not only that, even his hair was white, making him look more than ten years older.
"You are..."
Flander approached and examined him carefully, then smiled, "You're Xiao San? That's wonderful, Xiao San, you're finally back!"
Seeing Tang San, who had been missing for many years, return, Flander was overjoyed, but his poor health caused him to cough incessantly.
"Dean Flander, what happened to Shrek Academy?"
Tang San asked, deeply moved by the scene.
"Sigh~"
Mentioning painful memories, Flander couldn't help but sigh repeatedly, even his back was bent.
The two returned to their former back mountain, where all the flowers, trees, and shrubs had withered. The back mountain was abandoned, overgrown with withered yellow weeds, looking as if it hadn't been tended to for a long time.
"Xiao Gang, your disciple has come to see you."
Flander led Tang San to Yu Xiaogang's grave. Looking at the joint tomb of Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong, Tang San could no longer hold back his tears. He knelt down, weeping uncontrollably.
His father was dead, now his teacher was dead, and his alma mater was razed to the ground. Tang San was filled with hatred!
The emotions he had accumulated over the years finally erupted. He hugged Yu Xiaogang's tombstone and wailed, a sight that moved Flander to tears.
After crying for a while, Flander said, "After you left, Xiao Gang's health deteriorated rapidly. Five years later, when the devastating news of the Spirit Empire's destruction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan arrived, Xiao Gang died in agony! Erlong, unable to bear the blow, resolutely followed Xiao Gang after destroying the Monument of Shame..."
Flander finished speaking with a somber expression, as if he had aged ten years.
"The Spirit Empire?"
Tang San asked, puzzled. "Dean Flander, what happened to the Spirit Empire?"
These past few days, due to his travels through mountainous terrain and the slap that sent him flying into Heaven Dou City, Tang San was still unaware that the Heaven Dou Empire had been destroyed.
"You don't know?"
Flander was astonished. "The Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire have both been destroyed by the Spirit Empire. Heaven Dou City, and even the entire Douluo Continent, now belong to the Spirit Empire!"
"What!?"
Tang San's eyes widened, and he gasped, trembling. The Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire were destroyed?
What had happened in the seven years he was away?
"The Spirit Empire? The Spirit Hall established an empire?"
Tang San's teeth clenched; he was filled with hatred!
"Not only that, even the three upper sects are gone. The entire Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan perished. Since the death of the two dragons, there has been no more Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul on this continent. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was the same; Zhou Sidong personally led the destruction, and Sect Master Ning, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo all died in battle. As for the Clear Sky School, it's gone too..."
Flander said with a sense of desolation, while Tang San gritted his teeth in hatred, his forehead veins bulging.
He had only been gone for seven years, and the events that had occurred in those seven years were enough to overturn his understanding.
"What about Rongrong and the others? Where are Mubai and the others now?"
Tang San immediately thought of his brothers and sisters. With their strength, they shouldn't be...
Hearing this, Flander slumped to the ground, sighing, "Mubai, Fatty, and Xiao Ao are all dead. They died while escorting Rongrong, and Rongrong died in the battle between the Spirit Empire and the Star Luo Empire. She's dead too. Of the former Shrek Seven Devils, except for Zhu Qing who became the Crown Princess of the Spirit Empire, the rest are dead... dead... all dead..."
Flander spoke in a daze. The disappearance of Shrek Academy had been a huge blow to him.
Moreover, the deaths of Dai Mubai and the others had made this former dean lose all reason to live.
Now, Flander was the stationmaster of the garbage transfer station in Heaven Dou City, in charge of everything there.
Tang San was devastated after learning the truth!
His brothers and sisters, his teachers, and others had all died one after another, and he was still unaware of what had happened. He had spent seven years in a daze in the City of Slaughter, living in darkness, until today, when Tang San truly recognized the horror of reality.
"Revenge! I want revenge for my brothers who died unjustly!"
Tang San stood up angrily, facing the Spirit Hall.
"Tang San, calm down, don't be impulsive! The Spirit Empire is powerful, far beyond your ability to defeat alone. Moreover, I've heard that the current Empress of the Spirit Empire, Bibi Dong, and the former Pope of the Spirit Hall have already broken through to level 100 and become gods. Going there now is tantamount to suicide!"
As Flander finished speaking, Tang San's eyes glazed over, his limbs limp.
"Soul power... level... level 100..."
Tang San's face twitched, unable to believe it.
"How can I ever avenge myself like this!"
Tang San pounded the ground in frustration, the successive news bringing him despair.
He had hoped to unite various forces across the continent to launch an attack on the Spirit Hall and destroy it.
However, the continent was already pacified, and the former powers had long since vanished into the dust of history.
Tang San sat silently before Yu Xiaogang's grave, gazing at the cracked tombstone and the overgrown weeds. He sighed softly, "Why didn't Dean Flander tend to it?"
In contrast, his teacher Liu Erlong's grave was spotless, the tombstone pristine and gleaming, reflecting the bright moonlight.
"No comparison, no harm."
Overwhelmed with grief, Tang San rose and began clearing the weeds from his teacher's grave. His mind troubled, he muttered to himself, "The Spirit Hall established the Spirit Empire. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the Clear Sky School are all gone. The two great empires are gone too. Where will I go next?"
Suddenly, his movements stopped.
"My father warned me against going to Heaven Dou City, and the current situation proves his words true. It seems I must leave as soon as possible!"
After clearing away the weeds from Yu Xiaogang's grave, Tang San bowed to his teacher, "Teacher, I will definitely kill Zhou Sidong to avenge you!"
Immediately, Tang San bid farewell to Flander and set off for the former site of the Clear Sky Sect.
The world now belonged to the Spirit Empire, and Yuexuan was dilapidated, demolished and rebuilt as a Soul Master Academy. The former Heaven Dou City existed only in Tang San's memories.
However, at that moment, countless sharp arrows fell from the sky, directly piercing the former gates of Shrek Academy.
Tang San felt a pang of sorrow. He had been away for seven years, barely escaping death from the City of Slaughter. Did the Spirit Empire still refuse to let him go?
Under the night sky, a figure appeared, dressed in black robes with a pair of golden wings on his back.
"Tang San, do you still remember me, Lordiara?"
Lordiara pointed at Tang San and asked with a smile.
"It's you!"
Tang San's body trembled. This person had attacked him midway through the journey of the Heaven Dou Empire team to the Spirit Hall to participate in the competition.
"Lordiala, what did Tang San do to offend the Spirit Empire? Seven years have passed, and you still won't let me go? What heinous things have I, Tang San, done to deserve this treatment?"
Tang San questioned angrily.
"Because of your existence, you are the greatest enemy of my empire!"
Lordiala finished speaking, and nine spirit rings lit up beneath his feet. The configuration of two yellow, two purple, and five black spirit rings almost made Tang San grit his teeth.
"Another Title Douluo!"
Tang San felt ashamed. What had he done to deserve such treatment from the Spirit Empire?
First Dugu Bo, then Lordiala, could Zhou Sidong be next?
Tang San shook his head, thinking, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Tang San, surrender!"
Lordiara charged in. Facing another Title Douluo, Tang San's first thought wasn't to fight head-on, but to retreat. He was too weak then, no match for a Title Douluo.
Leaving Heaven Dou City and returning to the old site of the Clear Sky Sect
was Tang San's plan .
At the crucial moment, an old man with a pair of black wings on his back appeared and engaged Lordiara in battle.
"Dean Flander?"
Tang San was overjoyed. Flander had become a Soul Douluo, capable of fighting even a Title Douluo!
"Little San, let's go!"
Flander urged Tang San to leave, but the latter, wielding the Clear Sky Hammer, delivered a solid blow to Lordiara.
Blood gushed from his mouth, and he flew backward!
Lordiara looked at the two before him, his eyes quickly reddening. His seventh spirit ring lit up, and a huge golden eagle, its body radiating golden light, appeared before them.
"Seventh Soul Skill, True Spirit Body."
Flander followed closely behind, his eyes rekindling with fighting spirit. He had been despondent for a long time; with the closure of Shrek Academy, Flander's heart had closed as well.
Now, seeing the remaining students injured, even facing life-threatening situations, Flander, the former dean of Shrek Academy, stepped forward.
Owls and golden eagles occasionally swept overhead. Tang San wanted to help, but he was powerless to do so.
"Dean Flander, you..."
Tang San was deeply moved. Seeing this, he absolutely could not let Dean Flander's efforts go to waste.
Under the cover of night, Tang San strolled away, continuing his life on the run.
Seeing Tang San already far away, Flander also planned to escape.
However, Lordiara would not let him off easily, his hands replaced by sharp, golden eagle claws.
From the fierce attack of a Title Douluo, Flander, who had neglected his studies for several years, gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
"The mistress is already gone, I'm not going to keep you company any longer."
Flander broke free from Lordiara's grasp and prepared to leave.
However, just as Flander turned to leave, a dazzling golden light crashed down, and before Flander could react, he was engulfed in the sword light and completely disappeared.
"Lordiara, don't think you can underestimate me just because you've just been promoted to Title Douluo. Tang San is not so easy to deal with."
Zhou Sidong appeared in front of Lordiara, the cold moonlight shining on his chiseled face.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Lordiara clasped his hands, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, not daring to look up at Zhou Sidong.
This prince's strength was too great. Even Lordiara, who had just become a Title Douluo, could not defeat Flander, a veteran Soul Douluo, in a short time. Yet, Zhou Sidong's sword light had made Flander vanish into thin air, which made him tremble. This time, it was his own fault for not doing his job well.
"Go down."
Zhou Sidong waved his hand, and Lordiara secretly breathed a sigh of relief, bowed, and left.
Zhou Sidong pondered, "First Dugu Bo, then Lordiara, and now it's my turn. Tang San will have nowhere to go in the entire Douluo Continent except for the former site of the Clear Sky Sect."
Zhou Sidong knew Tang San's escape route well, so he let Tang San escape for now, waiting to capture him once he reached the former site of the Clear Sky Sect.
"What do you plan to do with Tang San?"
Xiao Xue appeared beside Zhou Sidong and asked.
Currently, the various forces on the Douluo Continent have been basically wiped out, even Seagod Island is quiet.
Besides Tang San, there is no one else in this world who can be Zhou Sidong's enemy.
"I won't kill him now. I'll bring Tang San to the front lines a few years later when the Three Gods War begins. I'll kill him right in front of the Tang San from the parallel universe! I think that will definitely boost morale!" Zhou Sidong grinned wickedly.
