Chapter 1517: Arriving at Xingluo City (Please Subscribe)_1

In another compartment of the Soul Guidance Train...

Shen Yi looked anxiously at Xu Sheng beside her and said, "Xu Sheng, how could you agree to let them participate in the Young Soul Master Contest?"

This Young Soul Master Contest was open to the public, meaning that everyone could watch the matches. This also implied that other students who came to Xingluo Land for the exchange competition could use this as an opportunity to prepare for upcoming battles against Tang Wulin and the others!

Hearing this, Xu Sheng smiled and said, "It was a request from Wu Dousi and the others. I couldn't possibly refuse, could I? Besides, the reward this time is a soul bone. If they manage to win the championship, it could be seen as a stroke of good fortune."

If it were just a thousand-year soul bone, indeed, it wouldn't be worth participating. However, the reward is a ten-thousand-year soul bone. In the current times, when land soul beasts are nearly extinct, it is...

Shen Yi pouted and said, "Winning the championship? I think that's quite doubtful. The Star Luo Delegation Leader has said that any Soul Master under twenty years old can participate in the Young Soul Master Contest, it's simply not fair!"

After pausing, she complained again, "I really don't understand why Xingluo Land has to hold two competitions at the same time, especially when the Young Soul Master Contest offers richer rewards than the Xingluo Land Exchange Competition!"

Meanwhile, not far away, when Pan Wen heard this remark, his face twisted into an awkward smile as he said, "Ah... Teacher Shen, could you please be a little more considerate of us when you speak?"

After saying that, he pointed to the people beside him...

The personnel responsible for this trip, as well as members of the Star Luo Delegation, were all right here!

Shen Yi's face flushed crimson with embarrassment as she weakly said, "I'm... sorry."

She had unintentionally voiced her thoughts out loud, and in the presence of their hosts at that, it was utterly mortifying!

Pan Wen forced a wry smile and said, "There's no need for Teacher Shen to apologize. After all, what you said is true. It's undeniable that the Young Soul Master Contest gives an advantage to older Soul Masters."

"But I believe that it's not a bad thing for young disciples to gain some experience. Besides, the strength of your academy's students should not be underestimated. If they do end up winning the championship, it would be the best of both worlds!"

Next to him, Sima Lanxiao also nodded in agreement, "That's right. If the younger generation of Shrek Academy were to win the championship, it would significantly enhance their influence."

"Absolutely, in the history of the Young Soul Master Contest, there has never been such young contestants who then won the championship! If they succeed, they will definitely become famous throughout Xingluo Land!"

As for the members of the Star Luo Delegation, they scoffed at the notion, not believing for a moment that the students of Shrek Academy could win the championship!

After all... in the Young Soul Master Contest, they might even face Soul Emperor level opponents!

If it were former inner court students, they might have had great hope. But outer courtyard students... ha, hardly worth mentioning!

...

After several hours, the Soul Guidance Train had already arrived at Xingluo City!

Once everyone got off the train and stretched their legs, Tang Wulin couldn't help but stretch and said with satisfaction, "So this is Xingluo City? It's indeed much better than the coastal cities."

The view of Xingluo City, with its surroundings and decorations, was not the least bit inferior to Shrek City and even possessed its own unique flavor!

Xie Xie nodded with a sigh, "Yeah! But this journey almost killed me with exhaustion. My whole back is sore and painful!"

Xu Xiaoyan disdainfully said, "Dramatic, it was just a ride on the Soul Guidance Train!"

Xie Xie replied indignantly, "I'm just expressing my feelings! Why do you, Xiao Yan, now seem to love to pick on me so much?"

Ye Xinglan covered her forehead and sighed, "Every time we get off, you guys start arguing, sigh!"

Gu Yue laughed lightly, "There's nothing that can be done, who asked them to be natural enemies?"

Xu Lizhi interjected with his honest demeanor, "But Gu Yue, I think you and Wulin seem even more like natural enemies... no, like lovers, actually!"

Gu Yue coughed once, not saying anything more...

She had been pondering all this time on how to face Tang Wulin!

Just then, Tang Wulin's communicator issued a sound, "Beep beep beep... beep beep beep."

Everyone turned their eyes to him, and after recognizing the caller ID, Tang Wulin expressed surprise, "It's Teacher Wu!"

Ever since Wu Changkong stopped instructing them, he had rarely contacted him!

Regaining his composure, he quickly connected...

As expected, a cool voice came from the other end, "Wulin, have you arrived in Xingluo City?"

Tang Wulin replied affirmatively, "Yes, just got off the train!"

There was a pause on Wu Changkong's end, followed by another question, "I heard there was an encounter with a sea soul beast during the sea voyage. Is everyone alright?"

Although his words were calm, one could faintly sense the concern mixed within...

Tang Wulin felt a warmth in his heart, "Yes, don't worry, Teacher Wu, we are all fine!"

A deep sigh came from the other end, "That's good!"

But following that, Tang Wulin counter-asked, "Teacher Wu, you must have a more important reason for contacting me, correct?"

"Correct. I suppose if nothing went wrong, you all have arrived in Xingluo City. Therefore, I'd like to suggest you all visit Tang Sect's headquarters."

Tang Wulin exclaimed, "Tang... Tang Sect's headquarters? Wasn't it destroyed by a Twelfth-Grade Soul Guidance Shell?"

In his mind, Tang Sect shouldn't have existed anymore, but now it seemed like that wasn't the case!

"Only the Tang Sect's headquarters in Soul Land was destroyed. That one is in Xingluo Land! Sending some Tang Sect disciples to Xingluo Land also had to do with this factor."

Hearing this explanation, Tang Wulin showed an expression of sudden realization, "I see, I didn't expect that kind of move!"

He was completely overwhelmed now, unable to fathom that Tang Sect could have multiple headquarters!

Big powers like Spirit Pagoda only have one headquarters!

This fact alone revealed that its heritage was definitely extraordinary!

"If you're interested, go and have a look. The location is..."

After telling Tang Wulin the specific location of Tang Sect Branch, Wu Changkong hung up the connection...

Xu Xiaoyan couldn't wait to ask, "Wulin, I just heard you mention Tang Sect's headquarters. What exactly did Teacher Wu say?"

Tang Wulin explained, "Teacher Wu suggested we go visit Tang Sect's headquarters, saying it might be of some help!"

Xie Xie's eyes widened with excitement, "Tang Sect's headquarters? Are you joking? Wasn't it turned into dust by the Holy Spirit Cult's Twelfth-Grade Soul Guidance Shell?"

Gu Yue tugged at his sleeve, reminding him, "Xie Xie, keep it down. The Tang Sect students are still behind us!"

Xie Xie laughed awkwardly, "Oh... I just got a bit excited by that statement!"

Ye Xinglan turned her beautiful eyes towards Tang Wulin, demanding, "Wulin, stop beating around the bush, what is going on?"

Tang Wulin was a bit torn between laughter and tears, "At first, my reaction was the same as Xie Xie's, but the truth is, Tang Sect has set up headquarters on multiple continents. What the Holy Spirit Cult destroyed was only the headquarters on Soul Land!"

As soon as he said this, it caused an uproar among everyone...

"What?? There's a Tang Sect's headquarters on Xingluo Land?"
