As these words were spoken, Gu Yue's beautiful eyes shimmered, seemingly pondering their truthfulness...
Eventually, she dismissed the wishful thinking in her heart...
Taking a deep breath, she said earnestly, "I'll find an opportunity to tell everyone about this matter, but not now. However, Teacher Xu, since you've seen through this long ago, why didn't you report it to Shrek Academy?"
Xu Sheng suddenly laughed, "Report? Why should I report to Shrek Academy? Don't forget, you are a student I personally taught. No matter what identity, it's not important to me!"
In an instant, Gu Yue became dazed and murmured, "Teacher Xu..."
Even if she were a soul beast, it seemed to have no effect in Teacher Xu's eyes...
While she felt happy, she hoped that when she revealed her true identity, Wulin and the others would accept her like Teacher Xu did...
Noticing a slight blush at the corners of her eyes, Xu Sheng teased, "Gu Yue, you aren't crying, are you?"
Gu Yue wiped her eyes and pouted, saying, "Of... of course not. I just didn't expect you to say something so touching, Teacher Xu!"
She was indeed a bit moved just now, but this teasing made her feel somewhat embarrassed!
Xu Sheng stretched languidly, "Well, now that we've talked it through, you can go back. Wulin is still waiting outside for you, isn't he?"
Gu Yue didn't overdo the emotion and stood up respectfully, saying, "Yes! Then Teacher Xu, I'll take my leave now, thank you for your guidance today!"
After speaking, she went to the door and abruptly opened it...
Tang Wulin, who had been leaning on the door, staggered and almost fell...
After steadying himself, he scratched his head and gave an awkward laugh.
"Heh... hehe, Gu Yue, how did it go with Teacher Xu?"
Gu Yue replied indifferently, "What do you mean 'how did it go'?"
Tang Wulin pointed to himself, "About the matter of you and I having a blood connection!"
Gu Yue just glanced at him, "Oh, Teacher Xu just asked a few questions. Do you have anything else you want to ask?"
Realizing she seemed impatient, Tang Wulin quickly waved his hands, "No... nothing else!"
He had been eavesdropping by the door, hearing most of the conversation, but whenever it got to the crucial points, it was as though his ears were plugged!
It must have been Teacher Xu doing this on purpose!
Only then did Gu Yue step out, "If there's nothing else, then let's go back to class. Don't disturb Teacher Xu's rest!"
Seeing this, Tang Wulin suppressed his curiosity and hurriedly followed...
Although he didn't know what they had discussed, Gu Yue hadn't run away in panic like the last time, which presumably meant the conversation went well!
Knowing this was enough!
...
Outside Dragon Valley!
Dark Bell's eyes hardened and without hesitation, he released his Martial Soul, with nine soul rings emitting a terrifying power floating beneath him...
Especially the hundred-thousand-year soul ring, which made the surrounding space feel incredibly oppressive...
Enveloped by this pressure, Hei Yi was forcibly pushed back several steps, his face full of apprehension, "Such terrifying pressure, truly befitting of a level 98 Hyper Douluo, isn't it?"
Under the assault of such a powerhouse, he doubted he could even last three minutes!
Elder Wu, however, slammed his cane, forcibly easing the oppressive aura, "Hmph! Even if you are a Hyper Douluo, I am not afraid!"
Even as he said this, his complexion looked extremely grim...
This time, he had hoped to delay the advance of these evil Soul Masters, but now, it seemed likely that he and Hei Yi would lose their lives because of it!
The Dark Bell sneered, "Foolishness comes with a price!"
"First soul skill, Shattered Bells!"
The moment the soul skill was released, multiple bells materialized behind her. Shortly after, a crisp "crack" sound followed as the bells split into fragments...
Instantly, shadows emerged from the pieces, accompanied by a chilling "cackle cackle cackle" as they dove towards the front...
Seeing this, Elder Wu naturally did not dare to neglect, hastening to shout, "Sixth Soul Skill, Thunderbirth!"
A sphere of light gathered in the mouth of his Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon, then rocketed into the sky...
When it reached a certain height, the sphere began to expand at an astonishing rate, encompassing several dozen meters...
However, it didn't end there. The sphere became extremely unstable, brewing lightning from within and launching thunderous arcs downwards...
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle~~"
The lightning struck the dark shadows aiming for Elder Wu with precision, eradicating them in an instant with its burst of energy!
Witnessing this scene, Hei Yi on the side couldn't help but exclaim, "Just a first soul skill forced Elder Wu to use his sixth soul skill?"
The gap between a Hyper Douluo and a Titled Douluo was even larger than he had imagined!
A hint of surprise flickered in the Dark Bell's eyes as she praised, "Not bad, it's the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon. In the past Soul Land, it was considered a top-tier Beast Soul!"
"However... merely looking at the strength of a Martial Soul is meaningless!"
She had run out of patience to keep playing around and wanted to quickly dispose of this fellow in front of her!
Elder Wu glanced at Hei Yi, who was still in a daze, and said, "Hei Yi, I'll hold this one back. Please take care of the other evil Soul Masters!"
Hei Yi clenched his fists, "Don't worry, Elder Wu, I won't let them enter Dragon Valley!"
Having said that, he charged towards the dozens of evil Soul Masters ahead...
And Elder Wu, receiving Hei Yi's reply, also tossed aside his cane, "Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Body!"
The opponent's first soul skill required him to use his sixth soul skill to counter. They were not on the same level at all!
The only way to narrow the gap in strength was the Martial Soul True Body!
In an instant, thunder roared fiercely above them, and his Blue Electric Overlord Dragon raised its head to absorb all the lightning...
Following that, its already enormous body grew at a shocking rate to hundreds of meters in scale, and a hard armor began to form on its surface, greatly enhancing its defense!
If one paid close attention, they could feel the energy within Elder Wu climbing steadily, and it clearly reached the intensity of a Hyper Douluo!
In response, the Dark Bell's expression remained unaffected, "Martial Soul True Body? It's just delaying your inevitable death! Sixth Soul Skill..."
The clear sound of bells continually echoed around, and although no scene appeared, with every passing second, the sense of suffocation intensified!
Elder Wu squinted his eyes, feeling his dignity as a Titled Douluo being mercilessly trampled upon...
He bellowed angrily, "Dare to underestimate me, then die!! Eighth Soul Skill, Thunder Apocalypse Wave!!"
This was his strongest attacking soul skill!!
He had once, under the enemy's carelessness, killed a power of Super Douluo Level!
This fellow before him would also lose his life because of his own carelessness!!
