Upon witnessing this scene, the clustered students from Shrek Academy also dispersed and merged back into the banquet with their respective dance partners...
It was as if nothing had happened just now!
At that moment, Xie Xie asked curiously, "What happened? Why does that guy's face look like a muggle?"
Xu Xiaoyan blinked her beautiful eyes, "Wulin, did you lay hands on him? While that guy moved away quickly, I still saw his hand swell up nearly as big as a pig's trotter!"
Ye Xinglan said indifferently, "It must have been that guy who started it, given Wulin's character, he wouldn't act without good reason!"
Xu Lizhi nodded too, "Yeah, yeah! Wulin isn't like that! It must've been the other party who started it!"
Tang Wulin chuckled, "It's nothing, just a simple greeting. But well... we had a little contest of strength in secret, and Luo Qinghan's hand got swollen!"
Xie Xie clicked his tongue, "Tsk tsk tsk, so you mean to say, that Luo Qinghan had it coming. He actually dared to challenge you in a show of brute strength!"
When it comes to strength, even ten of himself would be no match for Tang Wulin!
Gu Yue said indifferently, "But luckily nothing serious happened, everybody go have fun on your own."
Without saying more, Xie Xie glanced towards Xu Xiaoyan teasingly, "Let's go, Xiao Yan, continue teaching you how to dance. Who would have thought that someone from a major clan can't even dance!"
Xu Xiaoyan's face turned crimson, she gritted her teeth, "It's none of your business! Is it so wrong that I don't like dancing?"
Ye Xinglan looked at Xu Lizhi beside her and smiled, "Lizhi, let's go as well!"
Xu Lizhi nodded and said somewhat awkwardly, "Yeah, but I seem to have forgotten where we left off just now…"
Anticipating this, Ye Xinglan sighed, "No worries, I'll start teaching you from the beginning again. Just don't forget this time!"
"Don't worry, Sister Xinglan, I will learn it at the fastest speed!"
After the four of them had left, Tang Wulin turned to Gu Yue and asked, "Gu Yue, what about us?"
The corners of Gu Yue's mouth lifted into a curve, "Naturally, we also dance. Haven't you noticed many people are watching us?"
Having said that, the two took hold of each other's shoulders and began to dance gracefully...
…
Until the dance came to an end, Sima Lanxiao and some other judges cast their votes to determine the final results!
Xu Sheng and Shen Yi won the titles of the most handsome gentleman and the most beautiful lady!
Gu Yue was awarded the best female dance posture, while the best male dance posture went to a student from the Xingluo Imperial Academy!
As for the best-dressed male and female, those titles were claimed by people from Xingluo Land!
The awards for the winners were merely some specialties from Xingluo Land, nothing particularly precious!
With her eyes sparkling, Xu Xiaoyan exclaimed, "Gu Yue, I can hardly dance, yet you won the award for best female dance posture, that's really amazing!"
Ye Xinglan couldn't agree more, "It's indeed impressive. That graceful posture must have attracted all the judges who were looking at Teacher Xu and the others!"
Wu Dousi's cheeks flushed with a few touches of red, seemingly a bit shy from being praised…
But she knew the real reason all too well in her heart…
Meanwhile, Tang Wulin and his group, hearing her and Xu Sheng's conversation, all started to speak somewhat resentfully, "Wu Dousi, that's not very nice of you. We finally invited you to train in other cities with us, but little did we know, you refused us to get private lessons with Teacher Xu."
"Exactly! That's pretty heartbreaking! And the key thing is you didn't even tell us!"
"Today's duel with the Tang Sect disciples, you stole the show all by yourself. I'm downright envious!"
Upon hearing these words, Wu Dousi glanced at them, her face unchanging she said, "Sorry!"
Yet, within those brief two words, there was not a hint of apology...
Even now, she was glad she hadn't accepted Tang Wulin and the others' invitation, instead choosing to be taught by Xu Sheng!
Otherwise, how could her strength have soared like it had?
Elsewhere, within the Sea God's Pavilion, Cai Yue'er, sensing the conclusion of the duel, said with a light smile, "Several Hall Masters, it seems that this duel was won by our Shrek Academy!"
As Wu Dousi's teacher, she didn't expect her student's strength to soar to such an extent, especially since after taking her as a disciple, she had always been dealing with the affairs of the Sea God's Pavilion and had little time to teach!
Therefore, she felt somewhat guilty inside!
Now, seeing her strength still rising rapidly, she could feel at ease...
Hearing these words, the Tang Sect Hall Masters' mouths all twitched a few times...
They inwardly muttered, "Nonsense, if Shrek students can't even defeat Tang Sect disciples, they simply don't deserve to be called the number one academy on the Continent!"
But outwardly, they forced a smile and said, "Of course, our institute's students' talents and strengths indeed don't match those of Tang Sect disciples!"
"Compared to Shrek students focusing on enhancing their own strength, Tang Sect disciples are more adept at utilizing soul tools or hidden weapons! Losing is not surprising!"
"Hmm! Moreover, the strength of that female student from your institute who took action earlier is indeed too strong; even her first soul ring is a thousand-year ring!"
Turbid World's eyes suddenly flickered as if he thought of something, and he asked, "Right, several Hall Masters, about the matter we discussed earlier, how have you considered it?"
Upon hearing this, all the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion turned their gaze towards the Hall Masters...
Yue Zhengyu drew closer again and said, "Yehui... no, Yuanen Yehui, don't be so cold. After all, we've reached this point in our relationship!"
At his words, Yuanen Yehui's Beautiful Eyes showed a few hints of displeasure, "What is our relationship, precisely? Spell it out!"
She had interacted with him only to obtain resources needed from the Holy Angel Clan; otherwise, she would not have had anything to do with him at all!
After all, it was a fact that Yue Zhengyu had targeted her initially!
Realizing that Yuanen Yehui had misunderstood his intention, Yue Zhengyu hurriedly explained, "Ah, I mean... friends. We've used Martial Soul Fusion Skill together and have sparred for so long. At the very least, we're friends now, aren't we?"
Yuanen Yehui snorted coldly and said no more...
Yue Zhengyu's expression grew serious again, "To get back to the point, aside from Wang Jinxi and the other two being eliminated, there seems to be a big problem back at the academy, though they didn't specify what happened!"
Yuanen Yehui rested her chin in thought and said, "You mean... we should both head back to the academy to check it out?"
The two of them had completed their final exams, so staying in Ming City had no purpose!
"Exactly. Normally, the academy would notify us directly, but this time they chose to keep it a secret, which suggests the incident is no small matter!"
During this period, he had had an ominous premonition, which could very well be related to this incident!
