Chapter 1427: Xu Xiaoyan's Opportunity (Please Subscribe)_1

The entire development of the duel was completely controlled by Tang Wulin and his group!

Following Li Zhilong's sigh, he announced, "The duel is over, students of Shrek Academy win!"

The students he taught had done their best in the latter half of the duel, but they were still no match for Tang Wulin and the others.

Although there was some unwillingness in his heart, there was also some consolation...

One of the students with a downcast expression muttered to themself, "The students from Shrek Academy are indeed formidable; we have lost!"

Another student said with a rueful smile on their face, "We were one whole rank higher than them, yet we still lost so miserably, it's so embarrassing!"

"Losing to the students of Shrek Academy isn't embarrassing, but I didn't expect that we wouldn't even eliminate a single one of them!"

"So what if we lost? We, the students of Skyfixed Star Soul Master Academy, can afford the loss!"

Seeing this, Tang Wulin merely smiled slightly, "Everyone, thank you for letting us win!"

Xie Xie nodded, patting his chest as he said, "You all tried hard, but we still had the better skills!"

Although his words were meant to be consoling, they brought a frown to the faces of his opponents...

Gu Yue gave him a sidelong glance, cautioning him, "Xie Xie, watch how you speak! Mind your manners."

It was just one victory in a duel, was there really a need to be so proud?

Moreover, they were in Shrek Academy's own territory, not afraid of provoking others at all!

While they were conversing, the barrier of the Starwatch Platform slowly dissipated...

Li Zhilong walked over to Tang Wulin's side, patting him on the shoulder as he praised, "Well done! You didn't disgrace Shrek Academy!"

Tang Wulin blinked his pale blue eyes, "Teacher Li, if you praise me like that, I'll become proud, but... the other students were under your tutelage, right?"

Li Zhilong coughed awkwardly, "Ahem... Regardless of who taught them, they will likely realize their deficiencies through this duel. That's a good thing!"

Gu Yue and the others, who had noticed Li Zhilong's embarrassment, tactfully did not dwell on the matter.

Xu Xiaoyan pursed her thin lips, changing the subject, "Um... Senior, how long before we can see the starry sky from the Starwatch Platform?"

Li Zhilong was taken aback, then his mouth curved in a slight smile, "The starry sky? Isn't it right here?"

Having said that, he even pointed up to the sky above the Starwatch Platform...

As soon as these words fell, Tang Wulin and the others looked up, only to discover that the view above had at some point turned into a sea of stars that was so beautiful it was mesmerizing...

Ye Xinglan exclaimed in amazement, "How beautiful... Is this the starry sky?"

Tang Wulin took a deep breath, "Just by looking up at this starry sky, my heart feels incredibly peaceful!"

Seeing something unusual about Xu Xiaoyan next to him, Xie Xie hurriedly interrupted the others, "Wait, everyone stop getting lost in admiration, why is there a golden glow emanating from Xiao Yan?"

Xu Lizhi rubbed his eyes, shocked, "It's true, Xiao Yan's body is glowing!"

At this moment, every part of Xu Xiaoyan's body was emitting a faint golden light, which was extremely noticeable on the Starwatch Platform...

And she seemed to have sensed something herself, hastily sitting down cross-legged on the ground and starting to circulate her Soul Power...

Tang Wulin anxiously asked Li Zhilong, "Senior, what's happening to Xiao Yan?"

Li Zhilong's eyes slightly sharpened as he replied calmly, "This junior's Martial Soul wouldn't happen to be a starry-sky type, would it?"

Gu Yue confirmed, "Yes, Xiao Yan's Martial Soul is the Starwheel Ice Staff."

Xie Xie frowned, "Could it be that Xiao Yan's current situation has something to do with her Martial Soul?"

Only then did Li Zhilong show a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, this junior must have gained quite an insight!"

Ye Xinglan mused, "Realization? So that means it's not a bad thing?"

Perhaps, for Xu Xiaoyan, it was an opportunity!

Li Zhilong, looking at Xu Xiaoyan with sweat beading on her forehead, said earnestly, "Of course, such cases have indeed occurred a long time ago. Students with starry sky type Martial Souls who enter the Starwatch Platform have a very slim chance of enlightenment!"

"But every student who experienced such an enlightenment saw an impressive improvement in their strength or Martial Soul!"

With this explanation, everything immediately became clear...

"I see, then we shall wait here for Xiao Yan to finish her enlightenment!"

...

Shrek Academy!

Sensing a change in Xu Xiaoyan's aura, Xu Sheng expressed his surprise, "Hmm? Xiaoyan's Martial Soul has evolved at the Skyfixed Star Soul Master Academy. Has she stumbled upon some kind of fortune?"

Although he spent most of his time coaching Yuanen Yehui and Wu Dousi, he would use his Divine Power to occasionally observe the outer courtyard students...

Wu Dousi, frowning upon hearing this, said, "Teacher Xu, did you just say that Xu Xiaoyan's Martial Soul has evolved?"

Yuanen Yehui, with a puzzled look, asked, "Teacher Xu, haven't you been teaching us this whole time? How would you know that Xu Xiaoyan's Martial Soul has evolved?"

Could it be that within the academy, Teacher Xu could sense the situation of Tang Wulin and the others who were no longer in Shrek City?

This ability was something that even the Sea God Pavilion Master might not possess!

Returning to his senses, Xu Sheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's nothing; my sensory range is just slightly stronger than that of an ordinary Soul Master!"

Yuanen Yehui thought to herself, "Not slightly, but a whole lot stronger..."

Ever since her last confrontation with Xu Sheng, her admiration for him had increased substantially!

All this time, she had thought that he only possessed that plant Martial Soul, but it turned out that Xu Sheng also had Twin Martial Souls!

Most importantly, his so-called second Martial Soul was not only a God Level Martial Soul but also had a Soul Ring Configuration that stunned everyone!

He possessed no less than seven hundred-thousand-year soul rings!

This meant that... Teacher Xu initially did not attach any Soul Rings to his second Martial Soul and waited until his First Martial Spirit was strong enough before he started hunting hundred-thousand-year soul beasts!

If she had met Teacher Xu earlier, perhaps the Soul Ring Configuration of her second Martial Soul could have reached that level too!

Wu Dousi contemplated, "Since Xu Xiaoyan's Martial Soul has evolved, her strength must have increased significantly. I just wonder if Tang Wulin and the others have had such an opportunity."

If their Martial Souls had also evolved, then all her own efforts during this time would seem insignificant by comparison.

Perhaps, she really should heed Teacher Xu's advice and pause her cultivation for a while!

Noticing the odd expression on the latter's face, Xu Sheng asked softly, "Wu Dousi? What are you thinking about?"

Wu Dousi, caught off guard, replied somewhat flustered, "No... nothing."

Xu Sheng persisted, "Is it because of Xu Xiaoyan's Martial Soul evolution?"

Wu Dousi paused, then weakly acknowledged with a "Mm!"

In front of Teacher Xu, any attempt at disguise would be seen through, so it was better to admit it boldly!

Following that, her eyes sparkled with determination as she said seriously, "Teacher Xu, I think you're right. I should indeed pause my cultivation as you suggested!"
