Yuanen Yehui watched the departing hundred-thousand-year soul beast, thinking to himself, "Although I don't know what happened, one thing is for sure, the fact that this hundred-thousand-year soul beast did not attack must be related to Teacher Xu!"
Yue Zhengyu patted his chest, still in shock, saying, "I didn't expect a hundred-thousand-year soul beast to be even more terrifying than I imagined!"
Now he was somewhat regretting coming to the far northern lands with Yuanen Yehui to hunt a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!
A moment of carelessness could mean death!
Yuanen Yehui gave him a glance and said coldly, "Yue Zhengyu, I advise you to get mentally prepared now. If you freeze up again next time, I won't remind you."
If one can't even adapt to the pressure of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, how could they expect to fight one!
Feeling disgraced, Yue Zhengyu gritted his teeth and said, "That... that was just an accident. Who knows that a hundred-thousand-year soul beast could hide its presence so stealthily, suddenly appearing from behind. Besides... it's my first time encountering such a terrifying creature!"
Yuanen Yehui didn't expose him and stretched out his hand, saying, "Alright, take it out now!"
Yue Zhengyu was stunned for a moment, "What thing?"
Yuanen Yehui frowned slightly, "Of course, it's the soul tool that shields soul power fluctuations. You don't want to be surrounded and attacked by several soul beasts, do you?"
Just because that one hundred-thousand-year soul beast spared them doesn't mean other soul beasts would do the same!
Yue Zhengyu pouted, "Tch, you're really not polite. Here you go!"
Having said that, he took out something resembling a disk from his storage device and handed it to Yuanen Yehui...
Almost instantly upon activation, a gentle glow enveloped the two of them, and the emitted soul power fluctuations silently vanished...
Yue Zhengyu whispered, "So what do we do now? Should we familiarize ourselves with the surroundings first?"
Yuanen Yehui shook his head and explained, "No, first we should look for a large-bodied, less mobile hundred-thousand-year soul beast as our target!"
If they provoked a hundred-thousand-year soul beast that excelled in speed, they'd likely be killed in an instant!
Only those less agile soul beasts would give them a chance to slay!
...
Within Class One...
After class, Xie Xie nudged Tang Wulin with his shoulder and whispered, "Hey Wulin, with your current forging skills, could you make a Two-Word Battle Armor?"
Tang Wulin thought for a moment and replied, "Probably, but if it's just me, the production cycle would be too long, and I also lack the appropriate materials!"
The making of a Two-Word Battle Armor isn't that difficult; the difference from a One-Word Battle Armor lies in the materials and quality, not much else changes!
But for a Three-Word Battle Armor, one needs to be at least a level-7 blacksmith to possibly make parts!
Xu Xiaoyan's eyes gleamed as she said, "What's the problem? We might not have it, but that Yue Zhengyu does. Isn't he from the Angel Family?"
Tang Wulin's face darkened, "Xiao Yan... are you intentionally trying to work me to death?"
Excluding other factors, just including himself, the entire team would need seven sets of Two-Word Battle Armor!
He could work himself to death and still not make that many!
Not to mention getting anything from Yue Zhengyu, that wouldn't be so simple!
Ye Xinglan couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Xiao Yan, stop joking. Wulin was already exhausted from making One-Word Battle Armor for us. For Two-Word Battle Armor, he might literally die the next day!"
Forging is extremely draining on soul power. Once soul power is depleted, one must wait until it's recovered to continue!
If one were to forcibly overextend their soul power, the consequences could be very dangerous!
Gu Yue propped her chin and analyzed, "I do think it's worth giving it a try, of course, the premise is that everyone should improve their forging level, we can't always rely on Wulin!"
She had recently visited the Blacksmith Association and not only successfully became a Soul King but also became a level 5 blacksmith!
Xu Lizhi muttered, "Easy for you to say, but we're not like you and Wulin, we simply don't have that kind of talent!"
Wu Siduo suddenly said, "Hmm, I'm clueless about forging, too, and I'm pretty average among the students!"
Xie Xie sighed, "Eh... perhaps we should just honestly work on increasing our Soul Power, maybe when we reach Soul Emperor, our forging skills will naturally improve?"
Xu Xiaoyan rolled her eyes, "Keep dreaming, dream on!"
Just then, their communicators all sounded...
After answering, the voice of one of the Tang Sect Hall Masters came through, "Tang Sect disciples, please quickly gather in the square!"
Xie Xie said curiously, "Hmm? Calling for a Tang Sect disciples assembly at this time, could it be that the Tang Sect's construction is completed?"
Gu Yue promptly refuted, "Impossible, such a massive project can't be finished in such a short time, there must be something else they want to announce!"
Xu Xiaoyan stretched lazily, "I'm so tired, I don't want to go down, why not just listen from beside the window?"
Ye Xinglan nodded in agreement, "Yeah, since it's not mandatory, we don't have to go down!"
This was one of the benefits of being a Shrek student who joined the Tang Sect!
Hence, they gathered by the window, looking down at the Tang Sect disciples who had already assembled below!
The Power Hall Master at the forefront took a deep breath and announced loudly, "Disciples, today, I and two other Hall Masters have important news to announce!"
"And that is, from today onwards, our Tang Sect's headquarters will become a branch!"
This statement immediately caused an uproar...
One of the Tang Sect disciples angrily said, "What? Our Tang Sect's headquarters has been relegated to a branch? How can this be!"
Another Tang Sect disciple frowned, "What exactly happened during this time? Such a thing has never occurred in the Tang Sect's history!"
"Is it the branch sect that is behind this? I can't believe that, being part of the same Tang Sect, they could resort to such despicable means!"
"It must be them! Look at those new disciples from the Tang Sect, I'd wager they're from the branch sect!"
"I suspect that the Hall Masters must have reached some agreement with the Tang Sect Branch, allowing our side to become a branch, in exchange for certain assistance!"
Hearing these discussions, the Power Hall Master spoke again, "Yes, it's exactly as you have imagined. Due to our branch's Soul Guidance Hall disciples being nearly wiped out by the bombardment of the Twelfth-Grade Soul Guidance Shells, we can no longer continue to develop soul tools!"
"Therefore, as a last resort, we traded the title of headquarters for certain assistance, which are these disciples from the branch sect! I hope you can coexist harmoniously."
Xu Xiaoyan, watching all this, was completely stunned, "Am I hearing this right, is this tantamount to selling out for glory?"
Gu Yue indifferently said, "I find it quite normal. The Hall Masters must be very confident about regaining the title of 'headquarters' to dare to do this."
Tang Wulin also agreed, "Yeah, I feel the same way. Trading a useless title for substantive assistance is definitely a gain without a loss!"
After all, the overall strength of Soul Land was in no way comparable to that of Xingluo Land, and developing a certain foundation would hardly take much time!
