"..." Lan Xuanyu and his team of seven were at a loss for words. This was too sudden. A notice today, and departure tomorrow?
Without a doubt, this would be another final exam on an alien planet, not in Shrek City, nor on the Mother Planet.
Xiao Qi stood up, walked over to Lan Xuanyu, and said in a deep voice, "As class president and the leader of your team, remember this. The mission you're about to undertake is a real one, not an assessment specifically designed by the academy. This means you may truly face danger. Do you remember what I told you before? Never expect help from others; rely on your own strength as much as possible. While the seniors from Tang Sect will surely take good care of you, this does not mean you have nothing to do, nor does it imply that there is no danger. My first requirement for you is that all seven of you must return to me safe and sound."
"Yes, I understand," Lan Xuanyu nodded seriously.
