But Su Yu just needed a reasonable excuse to disseminate the news he knew.
Does the news about Xian Lin'er being detained in Mingde Hall leaking out mean that Shrek might retaliate?
This was previously kept hidden.
However, it's no longer necessary now.
In just a few years, the situation has drastically changed, no longer worried that Shrek would despair and send strong forces to forcefully breach Mingde Hall.
Currently, the strongest in Shrek is no more than Xuanzi, whereas the top strength of Mingde Hall, despite only Mirror Hongchen's significant progress, is not afraid of Xuanzi's arrival.
It can be said that in just five years, Mingde Hall has undergone earth-shattering changes.
And this is only a small prelude.
After the Soul Fighting Competition, the Universal Technique and Armor System will no longer be secret; they will be disseminated, marking the start of a true era of great development, and the strength of Mingde Hall will only rise faster.
Fast enough to leave all forces far behind.

Yan Shaozhe's great-grandfather was both the Supreme Sect Leader and Chief Tributor of the Holy Spirit Sect, and the current Sect Leader of the Holy Spirit Sect is his grandfather's half-brother, while the Vice Sect Leader was once his fair lady, and there's even a Saintess disciple...
He's practically become the most legitimate heir of the Holy Spirit Sect, hasn't he?
Moreover, Yan Shaozhe has reached the position of Dean of the Martial Soul System at Shrek, even likely to become the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion.
This...
Yan Shaozhe has hidden very deeply.
Many onlookers won't think about whether Yan Shaozhe knows everything, only assessing matters from their own perspectives.
As for those who think deeper, they remain silent, having already experienced a drastic shift in their perception of Yan Shaozhe and the current Shrek.
In fact, it's not just about Yan Shaozhe.
Yan Shaozhe is just a lead tossed out by Su Yu.
Those who think deeper, and consider more, end up linking everything to Shrek Academy itself.
Is Moon a good person?
A foolishly good person.
Veteran experts knowing many secrets from that era would only give such an answer.
Aside from Moon?
Other strong figures at Shrek each have dark histories.
Moreover, if you compile everything, you will find that Shrek's longstanding principles have made them many enemies.
Most forces in Douluo Three Kingdoms have suffered oppression from Shrek's strong figures.
If Shrek continues to be strong, naturally no one would speak against it; but once Shrek declines, these forces definitely wouldn't mind stepping in to give them a blow.
Ignoring this matter is already quite generous.
"It's simply an academy with distorted principles."
Cultivating monsters?
That's not what an academy should do.
But rather the purpose a small organization might uphold.
Truly odd forces wouldn't develop into such a colossal entity but would instead exert their deterrent and influence in a semi-hidden state.
...
"Alright, everyone, what I had to say, I've said it; you may leave if you wish."
"But the Soul Fighting Competition hasn't ended yet, are you all forfeiting?"
Poison Undying's mouth twitched.
Compete for what?
Don't you have a bit of self-awareness?
In the Soul Fighting Competition, what's the point of other positions besides first place?
And first place is obvious; continuing to compete would only be a laughingstock.
Not to mention the All-Continent Youth Elite Soul Master Competition, even if it were changed to middle-aged with the age limit raised to fifty or even sixty, the Sun and Moon Royal Team's chance of winning the championship is as high as sixty percent!
Poison Undying snorted coldly, departing with the fourteen members of the Body Sect Team.
Accompanying him were various small and medium-sized forces' teams from Douluo Three Kingdoms.
...
Zhongli Wu had already found a new black robe to envelop himself, standing beside Xu Tianran, but it was clearly observable that his Soul Power fluctuations were unstable.
Long Xiaoyao had somehow vanished, and he was nowhere to be seen in the Great Soul Arena.
Kong Deming also silently exited the scene.
"My apologies for the unexpected occurrences during this competition." Xu Tianran initially expressed an apology for the chaos that had erupted moments earlier.
However, no voices of blame were communicated.
The recent conflict can be said to be more thrilling than the Soul Fighting Competition, along with providing a startling revelation.
"It's required that the team members of the Titled Douluo who acted just now cooperate for investigation; we, the Sun and Moon Empire, won't wrong any innocent person, nor will we miss any malevolent party."
Xu Tianran spoke politely, yet with a tone so forceful that his words left no room for negotiation.
As Xu Tianran's words concluded, a substantial number of soldiers from the Royal Soul Guide Team arrived at the rest area, placing many team members under control.
Facing the well-equipped Soul Guides of the Royal Soul Guide Team, no one resisted.
However, the twenty-eight Shrek and Tang Sect members plus Fan Yu were in a standoff with the Soul Guides from the Royal Soul Guide Team.
"Furthermore, due to this incident, this edition of the Soul Fighting Competition must regrettably conclude."
Predictably, this edition of the Soul Fighting Competition was abruptly terminated.
However, the champion of this competition was without doubt, even without continuing further, the Sun and Moon Royal Team's victory was universally recognized.
Xu Tianran delivered a speech lasting ten minutes.
Following that, the audience within the Great Soul Arena also exited in an orderly fashion.
...
On the podium.
Xu Tianran listened to a report from a Fifth-level Soul Guide.
"Your Majesty, Xuanzi and his group are fleeing westward, seemingly aiming to enter the sea directly from the western frontier to escape."
