Chapter 3401

Knowing he couldn't win the argument, Gui Mei simply dropped the subject and said coldly, "Fine, have it your way, but just remember, if things go south, I won't hesitate to leave you behind!"

Xu Sheng's lips curled into a quiet smile. Although Gui Mei had said this many times, he had never once chosen to leave on his own!

So, it was clear that he was absolutely trustworthy!

No wonder Bi Bidong placed so much importance on him!

"Of course, Elder Gui, should we encounter danger, you are free to leave on your own. There's no need to worry about me, after all, there's no point in losing your life for my sake!"

These words caused Gui Mei's pupils to dilate slightly...

This guy didn't seem so bad after all, sometimes he was quite decent!

No, no, this wasn't right; his only task was to keep an eye on him, so why was he thinking so much!

"Hmph, good to know you understand that!"

With that, Gui Mei's figure merged into the darkness, practically undetectable unless by a Title Douluo of close scrutiny.

Shrek Academy!

Upon returning to the Inner Court, the students immediately began spreading the tales of Tang Wulin and Yue Zhengyu's exploits at the martial arts competition...

"You have no idea, seniors Tang Wulin and Yue Zhengyu were targeted by the other eight contestants, but they managed to win in the end!"

"Could it be that their opponents were weak? It's impossible to imagine a 2 versus 8 fight resulting in a victory, right?"

"How could that be? Among those eight contestants, there were three Title Douluos and four Soul Douluos! Does that sound weak to you?"

"Besides, senior Tang Wulin possesses a legendary Divine Artifact, it's called the Sea God's Trident, the same weapon once wielded by Sea God Tang San!"

"Wow... that's incredible, having a Divine Artifact. So, does that mean, senior Tang Wulin might actually become a god in the future?"

"That's hard to say, even the Pavilion Master of our Sea God's Pavilion hasn't become a god, which just shows how difficult it is!"

"Who cares whether he becomes a god or not, after witnessing senior Tang Wulin's strength, he is now my idol from this day forth!"

Dai Yun'er, hearing these conversations, exclaimed in awe, "I can't believe Tang Wulin has grown so powerful, we were evenly matched back in the day!"

Nonetheless, this confirmed her belief that coming to Shrek Academy to cultivate was absolutely the right choice!

Just as she was contemplating, Shen Yi suddenly approached her, interrupting her thoughts, "Dai Yun'er!"

Respectfully greeting him, Dai Yun'er said, "Dean Shen."

Then she looked at him with puzzlement, "Did you need me for something?"

Shen Yi's expression was tinged with complexity, "It's not me looking for you, someone from the Outer Court is. The visitor seems to be called Long Yue."

She remembered Long Yue was also an exchange student sent by the Xingluo Empire, but he wasn't a student of Shrek and had no right to enter the Inner Court!

Dai Yun'er furrowed her brow, "Long Yue, what's he doing here?"

With his personality, he should be deeply engrossed in training at Monster Academy!

Could it be that he has come to Shrek Academy to take her back?

Shen Yi shook his head, "I don't know about that, I'm busy with other matters. It's up to you whether you want to see him or not!"

Dai Yun'er nodded, "I understand, thank you, Dean Shen!"

As soon as he left, she made her way to the Outer Court...

Upon arrival, she saw Long Yue's muscular figure, exuding a masculine energy, standing at the gates.

He clearly noticed her too and waved his right hand, "Yun'er, I'm here!"

Dai Yun'er then walked over and said softly, "Big Brother Long, how did you come to Soul Land?"

Long Yue laughed heartily, "Actually, I came to participate in the Martial Competition for a Spouse held by the Spirit Pagoda. Unfortunately, I was soundly defeated by Tang Wulin and only recovered from my injuries these past few days!"

Dai Yun'er exclaimed in surprise, "Soundly defeated? That shouldn't be the case."

You must know that Long Yue can be said to be the number one person of the younger generation in the Xingluo Empire!

Hearing this, Long Yue's expression immediately turned bitter, "Yun'er, you don't understand, Tang Wulin's strength is now simply terrifying!"

"And he even possesses a Divine Artifact, how could I possibly be his opponent!"

Dai Yun'er pondered for a moment, "Besides the Martial Competition for a Spouse, there must be another reason for your visit here, right, Big Brother Long?"

Long Yue didn't deny it and nodded seriously, "Yes, it was your brother who asked me to come and check on you!"

Mu Ye cast a reassuring glance and nodded, "Don't worry, our Body Sect is not so easily manipulated by anyone!!"

With that said, he left the Blacksmith Association with the disciples of the Body Sect...

At this moment, a woman who had been eavesdropping walked in with a somewhat puzzled tone, "President, there's no problem with Elder Mu Ye, is there?"

Nowadays, the overall strength of the Body Sect is not as it used to be, and it might not be able to withstand the assault of the Holy Spirit Cult!

Zhen Hua sighed, "Now we can only trust him. As long as there are no two Limit Douluo level powerhouses, the Body Sect should be able to survive the danger!"

In his heart, he thought bitterly, "It's because the Spirit Pagoda and the federation joined forces to exterminate the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters, resulting in their grudge, so they retaliated against the Body Sect, whose overall strength isn't strong!"

The woman nodded slightly, "Mm, I hope the Body Sect can be safe and sound."

At that moment, Zhen Hua thought of something else, "Go get ready, I will be performing Heavenly Forging next!"

The woman immediately frowned, "President, please rest for a while longer. The last time you did Heavenly Forging, it already took a toll on your energy!"

Heavenly Forging, unlike regular forging, not only requires a long time but also consumes a great deal of spiritual power and Soul Power, and it is extremely taxing on a Soul Master!

If Heavenly Forging was performed twice within a short time, it could very well be life-threatening!

Zhen Hua looked up with a decisive tone, "I have my own measures. And remember, record the whole process. If that kid Tang Wulin comes, give the item to him!"

"This may, perhaps, be my last Heavenly Forging!"

Upon hearing this, the woman's eyes instantly reddened, "President, do you mean..."

Seeing her reaction, Zhen Hua knew she misunderstood and smiled wryly, "What are you thinking! I just mean, after this, I will no longer perform Heavenly Forging in public!"

The woman paused for a moment, then wiped the corners of her eyes with joy, "That... that's what it is! President, please forgive my rudeness just now!"

As long as the name "Divine Craftsman" is associated with the President, the status of the Blacksmith Association will never fall!

Zhen Hua gave her a look, "Hmm?"

The woman immediately snapped back to reality and hastily said, "President, please wait a moment, I... I'll go prepare right away!"

…

At this moment, in the mountains of a certain height outside the Body Sect!

Several black-robed figures sneered, "Lord of Dark Bell, this Body Sect is indeed weak! They're nothing like their powerful state ten thousand years ago!"

"I think, Lord of Dark Bell also took this into consideration before specifically launching an attack on the Body Sect!"
