The students standing opposite saw the Battle Armor worn by Tang Wulin and others, their eyes filled with intense envy...
They couldn't help but speak out, "They all have Battle Armor, what should we do?"
"Don't be afraid. Although they have Battle Armor, we still have the advantage in terms of strength and soul power rank! As long as we take this seriously, we still have a high chance of winning!"
"Right, everyone, stay calm and follow the plan we discussed earlier!"
It must be said that these students, handpicked by Li Zhilong, were indeed very outstanding, they regained their composure in just a few seconds!
Li Zhilong also took a deep breath and said with feigned calmness, "If both sides are ready, the duel will officially commence in three seconds! Fatal blows and serious injuries to the opponent are strictly forbidden!"
"Three!"
"Two"
"One! Begin!"
As soon as the words fell, one of the male students coldly shouted, "Second Soul Skill, Sunset Meteor!"
The second yellow soul ring at his feet flickered to life...
Barely visible, countless soul powers converged above his head into fist-sized meteors, densely plummeting down!
Clearly, he aimed to inflict area damage on Tang Wulin and his group!
Seeing this, Xie Xie's mouth curled up in a smirk, "Meteor Martial Soul, huh? Worthy of Star Luo Academy! This Martial Soul isn't very powerful, but it's a good opportunity to test the might of the Battle Armor!"
The very next second, he leapt up abruptly, spreading his arms to allow those meteors to bombard his body...
Something bizarre happened—the meteors exploded into pale-gold halos the moment they hit Xie Xie's Battle Armor...
And it didn't even cause him the slightest pain!
After landing steadily, he gave Tang Wulin a thumbs-up, exclaiming excitedly, "Wulin, this Battle Armor's defense is incredible!"
Tang Wulin's face darkened as he reminded, "Xie Xie, since it's a duel, it's better to show enough respect to our opponents! Your actions just now could easily provoke public anger!"
Xu Xiaoyan also said with a grievance, "Hmm, didn't the way the students from Skyfixed Star Soul Master Academy look at us change a bit?"
Xie Xie chuckled, then his face turned serious again, "Well, I was just testing the Battle Armor's power, let's start the real duel now!"
Tang Wulin didn't say much else and declared, "First Soul Skill, Coiling!"
Under his control, a number of lustrous strands of Blue Silver Grass grew from beneath his feet, extending towards the students in front...
"Humph! You think these mere Blue Silver Grass can entangle us? Dream on!"
"I'll blast these Blue Silver Grass to pieces!"
However, the male control-class Soul Master at the back caught sight of Gu Yue conjuring a Fireball, and exclaimed in alarm, "Wait, everyone, dodge quickly, watch out for the Fireball behind you!"
Upon hearing this, those attempting to destroy the Blue Silver Grass immediately snapped back to reality, and without any hesitation, they dodged to the side...
As expected, a hot and burning Fireball collided with the Blue Silver Grass, igniting them instantly, and the vast flames engulfed everything around...
One could imagine that had those students not fled, they would have been scorched by the flames!
Seeing her attack evaded, Gu Yue remained expressionless, "Dodged it, huh? That was expected."
If an attack of this caliber could hit, then the opposition would be a bit too weak!
...
On the other hand, after the meeting in Sea God's Pavilion had ended, Xu Sheng had just stepped out when he saw Shen Yi waiting for him!
Seeing him, she said with some delight, "Xu Sheng, is the meeting over?"
Xu Sheng nodded and smiled, "Yes, the specifics of the situation have pretty much been discussed. But what are you doing standing here?"
Hearing these words, Shen Yi's cheeks flushed with a deep red as she muttered, "Xu... Xu Sheng, what have you been up to lately? Why can't I ever find you!"
She had wanted to take advantage of the time when the students were away to have some quality time alone with Xu Sheng, but she could hardly ever find him!
She seized the opportunity of this Sea God's Pavilion meeting to ask!
Xu Sheng unflinchingly replied, "So that's the case. Indeed, I've rarely shown myself recently, as I've been focused on training two little ones!"
Shen Yi was taken aback and asked, "Training? Tang Wulin and Gu Yue?"
Xu Sheng shook his head, denying her words, "It's Yuanen Yehui and Wu Dousi, they came to me for help just as the term was ending!"
After hearing this reply, disappointment flickered across Shen Yi's cheeks...
It seemed like having some alone time with Xu Sheng wasn't going to be possible!
But that was okay; the current situation at Shrek Academy was dire, and she had many things to take care of!
Xu Sheng propped up his chin, locking his gaze intently on Shen Yi's delicate features and teased, "What's the matter? You seem a bit disappointed, Shen Yi?"
Being stared at so directly made Shen Yi's heart begin to beat wildly...
Feeling self-conscious, she ducked her head slightly, "No... There's nothing like that, I... I need to leave now, there's a pile of work waiting for me!"
After saying that, she hurriedly turned and left...
If one observed carefully, they would notice that her earlobes and forehead were already a bright shade of red!
Watching her departing figure, Xu Sheng sighed...
He understood Shen Yi's thoughts all too well, but there was simply no possibility between them!
Soon after, he too left the front of Sea God's Pavilion and found a quiet place!
Upon sensing Xu Sheng's soul power fluctuation, both Wu Dousi and Yuanen Yehui, who were meditating on the ground, opened their beautiful eyes...
They looked at him and said respectfully, "Teacher Xu!"
Xu Sheng gently asked, "Well, how is your training going?"
Yuanen Yehui replied, "It's going smoothly overall, but for some reason, it feels like I'm about to hit a bottleneck!"
Adjacent to her, Wu Dousi agreed, "Yes, I have the same feeling, even though my soul power rank hasn't reached Level 49 yet!"
The two had spent so many days training together that they had almost completely resolved their animosity toward each other!
Of course, Wu Dousi still harbored the desire to surpass Yuanen Yehui!
Xu Sheng glanced at them and explained, "These past few days, you've both been dedicating your time to enhancing your soul power, which indeed can lead to this situation."
Yuanen Yehui and Wu Dousi's brows furrowed, and they said nothing, silently waiting for Xu Sheng to continue...
Xu Sheng stretched lazily, patted their shoulders, and said, "Of course, the solution is simple, that is to suspend training for now and leave Shrek Academy to relax your minds!"
This sudden suggestion caused Wu Dousi and Yuanen Yehui's mouths to twitch...
"Teacher Xu, are you joking?"
They had never heard that improving soul power required relaxing one's mind!
