Chapter 2702: Twists and Turns_1
Seeing Xu Sheng's appearance, Flander pushed up his glasses with his index finger and asked, "Senior, it seems that you are looking for someone?"
"If you say the name, perhaps we might also have some memory of them."
He had figured it out; this Titled Douluo's strong presence meant he hadn't come to Shrek Academy to provoke anyone, nor was he here for fun!
Clearly, he was here to find someone!!
Xu Sheng tossed the records back and glanced at him, "No need, but are these all the students in the academy? Are you sure there's nothing hidden?"
Flander swallowed hard and wiped his forehead, "Senior, you... you must be joking. In front of you, how could I dare to hide anything? All the names of the Shrek students are there!"
Xu Sheng pursed his lips, no longer inquiring, "Really? If that's the case, then there's no need for me to stay here anymore!"
Upon hearing this, Flander and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief...
But due to certain factors, they still took it upon themselves to say, "Senior, you've come all this way. Why not rest for a few days before leaving?"
"Exactly, exactly. We at Shrek Academy have always wanted a Titled Douluo to stand guard. If you could stay and have fun for a few days, that would be wonderful. Surely, it would bring in even more students looking to enroll."
"Eh, don't bother persuading him. The senior must have urgent matters and can't possibly waste time here, although it's disappointing!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms, "Oh? You all seem so keen on having me stay. Perhaps I should give it some serious thought?"
The expressions of Flander and the others stiffened, and they wished they could slap themselves...
Their intention was to offer polite words to retain him, then wait for him to refuse decisively and leave...
Who would have thought he wouldn't follow the usual script!
Flander collected himself and said somewhat stiffly, "Well... that would of course be great. We would be delighted for you to stay!"
Xu Sheng chuckled lightly, "I'm just teasing you. But before I leave, let me offer you a bit of advice: don't provoke the Martial Soul Hall!"
With those words, his figure flashed, and he disappeared from within Shrek Academy...
Flander wanted to ask something else, but he could no longer sense any presence...
He couldn't help but furrow his brows in thought, "Don't provoke the Martial Soul Hall? Could it be that this person is a strong presence from the Martial Soul Hall?"
"But that's odd. Our Shrek Academy hasn't provoked the Martial Soul Hall, has it?"
He then looked towards Zhao Wuji and others, "Do any of you have a clue?"
Zhao Wuji shook his head, "Our Shrek Academy has always kept a low profile, hardly ever appearing on the Martial Soul Hall's radar. How can we be accused of provoking them?"
The others also started discussing...
"I have no idea, but if we're to talk about any connection between Shrek Academy and the Martial Soul Hall, it would be the Continental Elite Soul Master Contest, right?"
"Hiss...is it possible that the senior meant for us at Shrek Academy not to participate??"
"Hmm, very likely. Our Shrek Academy almost clinched the victory in the last contest!!"
"Hmph, I didn't expect the Martial Soul Hall to be so petty. If their younger generation can't compete, they plan to hinder others this way!"
Flander took a deep breath, "Regardless, participating in the Continental Elite Soul Master Contest is one of the most important things for our Shrek Academy. We can't give up just because of a few words!!"
No sooner had he spoken than he immediately received everyone's support!
The reason they founded Shrek Academy was to make a name for themselves in the Continental Elite Soul Master Contest one day, even if it meant paying a price!!
Just when they thought this matter was over and they could return to calm...
A tremendous presence suddenly erupted in the sky above...
"Where is Shrek Academy!!!"
In an instant, Flander and all the other teachers of Shrek Academy trembled...
Trying to move, they found it extraordinarily difficult...
Zhao Wuji clenched his teeth, "Damn it, what... what happened? Could it be that the senior from before has come back?"
Flander's face turned ashen, "No... This presence is from another powerful being, I fear their strength has reached that of a Hyper Douluo!!"
"Damn it, what kind of bad luck has Shrek Academy encountered today to have met two Title Douluo in a row!"
"Right now we don't know if they're friend or foe, everyone, be extremely careful!!"
However, another piercing voice rang out...
Making their hearts stop!
"Where is Shrek Academy!!"
Flander fought against the oppressive force, stepping forward and spoke with respect, "I... I am the dean of Shrek Academy, please, senior, show yourself!"
After his words fell, a figure finally appeared in their view!
It was none other than Serpent Spear Douluo!
He landed steadily, his gaze resting on Flander and the others...
He said coldly, "You, you are the dean of Shrek Academy?"
Flander nodded, replying again, "Yes, senior, I am the dean of Shrek Academy, Flander!"
This terrifying presence, without a doubt, belonged to a Hyper Douluo!
It was then that Serpent Spear Douluo withdrew his pressure, "Then it seems I've found the right place!"
Zhao Wuji and the others felt as if they had just escaped the jaws of death, with beads of cold sweat forming on their foreheads...
Flander spoke again, "Senior, if I may be so bold as to ask, for what reason have you come to our Shrek Academy?"
Serpent Spear Douluo's voice was cold, "I won't waste words. Have you seen a guy named Xu Sheng? He said he would come to Shrek Academy!"
Flander was stunned, looking towards Zhao Wuji and the others; they all saw the confusion in each other's eyes...
Then, bowing with his hands clasped, he said, "Senior, we do not know anyone by the name of Xu Sheng!"
The expression in Serpent Spear Douluo's eyes became dangerously sharp, "You don't know?"
Flander, as if realizing something, hurriedly tried to appease, "Senior, please don't be angry, what does that Xu Sheng look like? Perhaps we have seen him without knowing it!"
Damn it, the other's temperament was clearly violent, and if truly angered, Shrek Academy feared it might be wiped off the map!
Reflecting for a moment, Serpent Spear Douluo described, "That guy? Hmm... he looks like a child! But he possesses the strength of a Title Douluo."
Flander immediately understood, explaining, "Senior, this Xu Sheng you're speaking of had just left our Shrek Academy not long ago!!"
Pausing, he pointed off to the side, "I remember... he should have gone in that direction!"
Without hesitation, Serpent Spear Douluo chose to trust...
"Hmph, I hope you are not lying to me, otherwise..."
Having said that, he pursued in the direction Xu Sheng had left...
That kid, truly annoying. If it weren't for the Holy Daughter's command, he wouldn't have come all this way to notify him!!
