And the students who heard this statement were all shocked. "What? The clan leader of the Yuanen Clan is actually going to become an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion!"
"Isn't this a bit too casual? You should know that every Elder of the Sea God Pavilion has made a significant contribution to Shrek Academy before they are qualified to hold the position!"
"I don't think it matters. The clan leader of the Yuanen Clan... I mean, Elder Yuan'en has already reached the level of a Super Douluo! He's totally qualified to become an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion!"
"Exactly, exactly, having more powerhouses in our academy is only a good thing! Only then can we better oppose the Holy Spirit Cult."
"I was a bit resistant at first, but now that you say that, it does indeed make sense!"
Hearing these discussions, Yun Ming's gaze turned to the side, towards Yuanen Zhentian...
The latter immediately understood and stepped forward, saying solemnly, "Students of Shrek Academy, I know you are puzzled about my joining the Sea God Pavilion, but I promise here that I will not show favoritism towards members of the Yuanen Clan!!"
"Of course, I will also do my utmost to help Shrek Academy develop even better!"
After these words had fallen, the students below all began to vigorously applaud...
Tang Wulin said with admiration, "As expected of a clan leader, truly imposing!"
He wondered if he would ever have the chance to join the Sea God Pavilion and become one of its members!
Xu Xiaoyan also spoke in an envious tone, "Yeah, if only my family were as powerful as the one behind Yuanen Yehui!"
Xie Xie rolled his eyes, "Xiao Yan, at least you have a family. Look at me and Wulin, we are completely without such support!"
Ye Xinglan coughed, "Cough cough, Xie Xie, you always bring up the most embarrassing subjects!"
Sure enough, Tang Wulin's expression immediately turned gloomy...
It had been so long, and yet there was still no news from his parents...
This made him increasingly suspect that something unfortunate had happened to them...
Seeing Tang Wulin's reaction, Xie Xie patted his shoulder, apologizing, "I... I mean, Wulin, I didn't mean it, just..."
But Tang Wulin shook his head indifferently and smiled, "It's okay, I've gotten used to it."
Hearing his response, everyone else fell silent...
After spending so much time together, they had come to understand Tang Wulin's family situation...
He had come alone from a faraway place to study at Sea God's Pavilion Academy and even the federation coins for his tuition fees had to be earned by doing odd jobs himself...
By comparison, his situation was undoubtedly much more pitiable!
Upon noticing the odd looks on everyone's faces, Tang Wulin laughed lightly, "Why does everyone have such an expression? Although I miss my parents, this kind of setback won't defeat me."
Besides, he wasn't as pitiable as everyone imagined...
Because, early on, he had met a good teacher...
After saying this, his gaze intently sought out Xu Sheng above...
Yun Ming then spoke again, "Alright, next, we will announce another very important matter, the end-of-term exams for this semester!"
"As with previous terms, this semester will include a comprehensive evaluation of forging, soul tools, and Martial Souls, and the students who rank at the bottom will be eliminated."
"I hope everyone can perform to their true abilities..."
...
Meanwhile, the investigation team sent by Tang Sect had already arrived outside Dragon Valley...
They carefully examined the surroundings and discussed, "It seems that a great battle took place here; even the mountains above are teetering on the brink of collapse!"
"Indeed, just as I thought, something concerning Dragon Valley has definitely been exposed!"
One of the keen-eyed disciples pointed to a distant body lying on the ground and exclaimed in shock, "Wait, everyone look, that seems to be... Elder... Elder Wu's body!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Tang Sect disciples immediately gathered around...
Upon seeing the corpse's appearance clearly, their faces turned extremely ugly...
"Yes, this is indeed Elder Wu. Who would have thought that he would have... fallen!"
"The person who could have killed Elder Wu must be at least of the Hyper Douluo level! But why would such a high-level expert target our Tang Sect?"
"Isn't that obvious? This Hyper Douluo must be from the Holy Spirit Cult! That person in a black robe over there is proof enough of that!"
"The question is, if Elder Wu has fallen, where are the other disciples?"
No one could answer these questions...
Finally, the leading disciple stood up, "It's no use thinking about it here, after all, with our soul power rank surpassing the Soul King's, we can't enter Dragon Valley."
"For now, let's bring Elder Wu's body back and then report the details to the Sect Master!"
After these words were uttered, they immediately received everyone's affirmation...
After storing Elder Wu's body in a storage soul tool, they swiftly evacuated the area...
Little did they know, at the top of Dragon Valley, Dark Bell was watching the departing Tang Sect disciples with an indifferent expression...
He said coldly, "The Tang Sect is indeed cautious, dispatching disciples to investigate as soon as they lost contact. But I'm not in the mood to kill today, so I'll let them off!"
...
Holy Spirit Cult!
Dark Blood Devil bowed slightly and spoke to Ghost Emperor, "Sect Hierarch, I've tried to persuade the Tang Sect Master to assist us as you instructed, but it seems he hasn't wavered at all!"
If it weren't for the Sect Hierarch's orders not to act rashly, he would have killed the Tang Sect Master on the spot!
Although there's only a one level difference, it's as vast as the difference between heaven and earth!
Leng Yulai said mockingly, "I suppose you didn't actually go and do as the Sect Hierarch instructed? It seems your mind is filled with nothing but the desire to kill."
Who knew, Ghost Emperor cast a cold glance at her...
Seeing this, Leng Yulai pressed her lips together and said no more...
Only then did Ghost Emperor speak coldly, "Not agreeing to assist our Holy Spirit Cult is within expectations!"
He had only approached with a mindset of giving it a try!
Dark Blood Devil, with his crimson eyes, gave Leng Yulai a glare before saying again, "Sect Hierarch, based on my observations, the strength of this Tang Sect Branch is far inferior to the Tang Sect's headquarters, and it does not have many high-end combatants. We have the capability to destroy it within a few days!"
Now, the Holy Spirit Cult, with its rapid growth during this period, has already amassed more than a dozen Titled Douluos, making their overall strength terrifyingly formidable!
Halosa, who had been silent, agreed, "Yes! Sect Hierarch, I also concur with what Dark Blood Devil has said. If we destroy this Tang Sect Branch, the other powers will surely weigh their options more carefully before deciding whether to assist our Holy Spirit Cult!"
"Furthermore, with the Demon Emperor acting personally, we can minimize unnecessary losses!"
The expression beneath Ghost Emperor's mask remained unchanged, but his mind was racing with thoughts...
Nowadays, it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to suppress the Demon Emperor...
If he let the Demon Emperor go and destroy the Tang Sect Branch, who knows what complications might arise!
