Several days later, Gu Yue stood stunned. "Shrek Academy has been hit by a twelfth-grade soul guidance shell?"
She had been busy with the affairs of the Spirit Pagoda until today when Qiangu Qingfeng informed her of the attack on Shrek Academy by the soul guidance shell!
Qiangu Qingfeng nodded slightly, "Yes! Although Shrek Academy claimed that it didn't suffer significant damage, in reality, they likely paid a tremendous price!"
If a level-twelve soul guidance shell really exploded over Shrek Academy, defending against it certainly wouldn't be that simple!
After a moment of contemplation, Gu Yue said, "Vice Tower Master, I would like to request a return trip to Shrek Academy!"
She needed to confirm the condition of Tang Wulin and the others!
A twelfth-grade soul guidance shell possessed the power to decimate cities!
Qiangu Qingfeng wasn't the least bit annoyed by her statement and agreed, "Yes, the Pagoda Master had already guessed you would say something like this, and he mentioned it to me beforehand! If you wish to return to Shrek Academy, you can do so at any time!"
Afterward, Gu Yue quickly packed up and set off for Shrek Academy...
Once she took out her Shrek student badge, she smoothly entered the outer court...
The first sight that met her eyes was the familiar scene, with no visible difference from the usual...
This also made Gu Yue breathe a sigh of relief...
Though her true identity was that of the Silver Dragon King, she had trained here for so long and developed a deep fondness for the place!
Naturally, she did not want to see such a vast academy suffer casualties!
Just then, a voice filled with a hint of uncertainty rang out, "Gu Yue? Is that you?"
Upon seeing the visitor, Gu Yue respectfully said, "Elder Turbid World!"
Turbid World looked into her beautiful eyes and asked, "Gu Yue, aren't you serving at the Spirit Pagoda? What made you decide to return to the academy today?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue quietly lowered her head, apologetically saying, "I only heard today about Shrek Academy being struck by a soul guidance shell, so I rushed over immediately."
Turbid World immediately noticed what was on her mind and said with a light chuckle, "You're worried about your companions, aren't you? Rest assured, they haven't suffered any harm! However..."
Sensing something amiss, Gu Yue pressed, "However, what? Elder Turbid World, please elaborate!"
She always felt that there was a faint sadness hidden behind Turbid World's smiling face...
Turbid World intended to refuse, but seeing the eagerness in the other's eyes, he sighed, "Alright, this is something I had promised to keep a secret, but let's just say I let it slip!"
After a pause, he continued, "Actually, a few days ago, the twelfth-grade soul guidance shell that hit Shrek Academy was blocked by the Pavilion Master's sacrifice of his own life!"
"Otherwise, the entire Shrek City would have been reduced to ashes!"
Gu Yue's pupils suddenly constricted, "The Pavilion Master sacrificed himself??"
But she also understood why Shrek Academy publicly claimed that it hadn't sustained serious damage!
Because if the fall of the Sea God Pavilion Master were revealed, it would not only affect the order of the academy but also terrify the soul masters in Shrek City!
Gu Yue took a deep breath, "But... isn't the Saint Soul Douluo there? They should..."
As long as there was a breath left, with the Saint Soul Douluo's terrifying recovery abilities, they should be able to heal him!
Turbid World shook his head, clearly not wanting to continue the discussion...
"You know enough now, but don't tell anyone! Go on, those kids should still be in the Inner Court!"
However, Gu Yue objected, "Thank you for informing me, Elder Turbid World, but now that I know they're safe and the academy is unharmed, I'll return to the Spirit Pagoda first!"
With that, she turned to leave...
Turbid World watched her retreating figure and said slowly and deliberately, "Gu Yue, I hope you remember that you are not only a Spirit Transmission Tower Disciple but also a Shrek Academy student. You… were supposed to be one of the Shrek Seven Monsters!"
Gu Yue paused for a moment, then left the academy…
Yue Zhengyu, also gazing after Gu Yue as she departed, urged anxiously, "Watching her go is killing me, Wulin. Are you really not going to chase after her?"
Ye Xinglan reminded as well, "Wulin, it's not too late to catch up to her now. Otherwise, who knows how long it will be before you see Gu Yue again."
Xie Xie raised an eyebrow and said, "You know, Wulin, when you first went to Demon Island, you couldn't stop thinking about Gu Yue. Now that she's right in front of you, why are you still standing there like an idiot?"
Xu Xiaoyan clenched her fists and encouraged, "Wulin, don't hesitate anymore, go after her quickly!"
Tang Wulin gave a wry smile, "Forget it… It's clear that Gu Yue has no intention of seeing me!"
He had felt the presence of the Silver Dragon King the moment Gu Yue entered the academy!
She must have felt him spying, but still, she chose not to meet…
This fact alone had explained a lot!
Seeing Tang Wulin still made no move, Xie Xie could not help but cover his forehead and exclaimed, "Ah, Wulin, you really are a blockhead!"
If it were him in that situation, he would have already made Gu Yue have a change of heart!!
…
Demon Island!
The seven Old Demons, looking somewhat ragged, all had extremely gloomy expressions…
Lazy Old Demon gritted his teeth and said, "That man… he took away the Life Force and Destruction Force, what should we do now?"
Desire Demon shook his head, indicating he did not know either, "I had thought that the strength of a God was simply because Soul Power transformed into Divine Power, but after fighting firsthand, I realized it's not so simple!"
Detestable Demon sighed, "Now we don't even know where that God is, let alone how to take back the Life Force and Destruction Force. It's completely impossible!"
The gaze of Devouring Demon was directed at the slowly disintegrating barrier over Demon Island and at their own bodies that were beginning to dissipate…
"Without these two powers, our bodies won't hold up for long before they disperse, at most half a year!"
Old Demon Greed, the leader, had a few glimmers of light in his eyes…
He spoke up, "Actually, I have secretly saved some of the Life Force and Destruction Force!"
This statement made the other Old Demons all look at him…
Old Demon Greed added, "However… the amount is very small, not even enough to sustain our physical consumption!"
Desire Demon frowned, "Boss, what you mean is… to use these remaining forces to continue our research?"
Old Demon Greed affirmed this, "Exactly! Even if we use these two forces to sustain our bodies, how long would it last? One year? Two years? There is no point in that!"
"Rather, we should put all our last hope into research. Maybe then we can unravel the reason why a level-99 Ultimate Douluo is the pinnacle of humanity!"
At that time, humanity would step into a new dimension, and perhaps they could create Gods themselves!!
The other Old Demons looked at each other and then said in unison, "Boss, whatever you decide, that's what we'll do!"
