Chapter 1600: Inner Court Quota (Request Subscription)

This made Yue Zhengyu even more curious, and he persisted, "Don't be so cold, come on, tell me, our relationship is above friendship, isn't it?"

Although there were frictions between them due to a misunderstanding in the past...

After entering the Inner Court, they sparred together numerous times, so they could at least be considered friends!

Yuanen Yehui was stunned for a moment before replying indifferently, "Even if I told you, what could you do about it? Could you possibly help me?"

Yue Zhengyu puffed out his chest, pridefully declaring, "You haven't even told me yet how you know I can't help. After all, I am from the Angel Family!"

Yuanen Yehui gave a cold laugh and immediately said, "Fine... then let me ask you, if you had to face a hundred-thousand-year soul beast alone and kill it, what would you do?"

Yue Zhengyu spoke dismissively, "Just facing a hundred-thousand-year soul beast... wait, a hundred-thousand-year soul beast??"

He widened his eyes mid-sentence, "Yehui, you're not joking, right? Even two of me wouldn't be a match for a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!"

That was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, one that even a Titled Douluo couldn't handle!

The hope in Yuanen Yehui's eyes quietly faded as she said expressionlessly, "Hmph! I knew asking you would be in vain!"

Yue Zhengyu cautiously inquired, "Yehui, why would you ask such a question? Don't tell me... you're actually planning to challenge a hundred-thousand-year soul beast?"

As soon as he said this, he shook his head, "No, no, no, that's impossible. Where would you find a hundred-thousand-year soul beast on the Continent these days? They're all extinct!"

Yuanen Yehui glanced at him and said again, "I could have broken through to become a Soul Emperor long ago, but I've been holding back until now because I want my sixth soul ring to reach the hundred-thousand-year level. So, I asked Teacher Xu for help yesterday."

But her pride wouldn't allow her to always rely on Xu Sheng's strength, which is why she decided to hunt a hundred-thousand-year soul beast alone!

Yue Zhengyu fell silent...

In his heart, he thought, "If it was Teacher Xu... it might actually be possible!"

After all, Yuanen Yehui's fifth soul ring was from a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. He almost died of envy when he first found out!

Seeing that the former had nothing to say, Yuanen Yehui lost her patience and waved her hand dismissively, "Alright, now that you know, hurry up and leave, don't bother me!"

Yue Zhengyu took a deep breath, his tone turning incredibly earnest, "Wait... Yehui, if... if you're willing, could you take me with you when you go to hunt the hundred-thousand-year soul beast?"

He dared to say such a thing because he was betting on a fifty-fifty chance!

He knew that Yuanen Yehui's presence was crucial for Shrek Academy at present, and the Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion would never just watch her die at the hands of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!

That meant either the Sea God Pavilion Leader or Elder Xu would be protecting her from the shadows, ready to save her life in case of emergencies!

And what would he gain from this?

It was simple!

Upon returning, he would first sacrifice some of the Angel Family's interests to request Xu Sheng to help him hunt a hundred-thousand-year soul beast for his sixth soul ring!

If even Yuanen Yehui could enlist Xu Sheng's help, he, a proud member of the Angel Family, by offering such huge incentives, would have no reason to be refused!

A hint of surprise showed in Yuanen Yehui's eyes, followed by an icy response...

"Oh? What's in it for you, a member of the Angel Family? Besides, there's a high chance of death!"

Yue Zhengyu waved it off, saying, "It doesn't matter, we're friends, aren't we?"

Yuanen Yehui seemed to understand something, her gaze fixed intently on him...

"I admit, for a moment, you really moved me, but knowing you, Yue Zhengyu, you must have some ulterior motive!"

Called out, Yue Zhengyu laughed awkwardly, "Yehui, what do you mean? I'm sincerely trying to help you!"

Yuanen Yehui didn't press on but remarked casually, "Well, if there's one more person, I suppose Teacher Xu wouldn't mind. But if you die at the hands of the hundred-thousand-year soul beast, don't blame me!"

Yue Zhengyu's strength was very close to his own, and with both of them able to use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, perhaps, there was indeed a greater possibility of defeating a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!

Seeing her agreement, Yue Zhengyu's eyes suddenly brightened, "It's a deal! Then I'll go prepare right away!"

Yuanen Yehui raised an eyebrow and asked, perplexed, "Prepare? Prepare what?"

Yue Zhengyu rolled his eyes, "Of course, it's stuff like soul tools and Mechas. You don't seriously plan to fight a hundred-thousand-year soul beast with bare hands, do you?"

Yuanen Yehui's face turned red as she hung her head, seemingly admitting it...

...

Inside the classroom, Tang Wulin and the others were all staring blankly at Shen Yi...

With urgency, Shen Yi spoke up, "Tang Wulin, and you guys, have you seen where Xu Sheng went?"

Tang Wulin was startled, then pondered, "Teacher Xu? He should be in the office, right?"

Shen Yi denied, "He's not there, I just went looking for him!"

Ye Xinglan inquired doubtfully, "What's the matter, Teacher Shen? You seem to have something very urgent."

Shen Yi's complexion suddenly turned a shade of red, and with some embarrassment, she said, "It's not something very important..."

Xie Xie smirked, "Heh heh, there's no need to say it, surely, Teacher Shen wants to spend some alone time with Teacher Xu!"

Xu Xiaoyan gently pinched him as a reminder, warning, "Xie Xie, don't talk nonsense, or you may bite off more than you can chew!"

Gu Yue apologized, "Sorry, Teacher Shen, we also don't know where Teacher Xu is at the moment."

Shen Yi sighed helplessly, "That's how it is, then forget it. I came to find you guys as well, I have an important matter to notify you about!"

Tang Wulin and the others exchanged glances, all curious as to what she would say...

Without keeping them in suspense, Shen Yi took out a folder from her soul tool and handed it to them, "Here, have a look for yourselves!"

Tang Wulin took the folder and slowly opened it...

As he made out the contents inside, an excited expression appeared on his cheeks...

Seeing this, Xie Xie said discontentedly, "Wulin, don't just keep it to yourself, let us have a look too!"

Tang Wulin came back to his senses and immediately spread open the folder for everyone to see...

Undoubtedly, including Wu Siduo, everyone's faces revealed the same expression as Tang Wulin's...

Xie Xie gasped in surprise before bursting into laughter, "Sss... Really? Are we really... Hahahaha!"

Xu Xiaoyan pursed her thin lips, excitedly saying, "Although I've always imagined it, I didn't expect it to come so soon; it's just fantastic!"

Wu Siduo's gaze turned to Shen Yi and she reconfirmed, "Teacher Shen, is this really..."

Shen Yi nodded seriously, "That's right, every student listed in this folder was agreed on by the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion!"

"Of course, everything still depends on the results of this term's test! However, if I were to estimate from among you guys..."

"Gu Yue and Wu Siduo are more likely to be selected for admission to the Inner Court!"
