Suddenly, Shen Yi, who was in the audience, received an alert on her communicator...
"Beep beep beep... beep beep beep!"
Confusion appeared on her face as she quickly answered the call, "Academy President Cai, what do you need?"
On the other end, Cai Yue'er spoke with a serious tone, "Shen Yi, is Elder Xu with you?"
Shen Yi was taken aback, her Beautiful Eyes turning towards Xu Sheng sitting in front of her, replying, "Xu Sheng is currently on the judges' stage of the Youth Soul Master competition!"
Surprise tinged Cai Yue'er's voice, "The Youth Soul Master competition? Why would he participate in that? But never mind, I'll make it short!"
"The War God Hall has discovered the Holy Spirit Cult's hideout a few days ago and has proposed that we, including Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda, join forces to eliminate them!"
"The specific time is next week, which coincides with your return to Shrek Academy!"
Hearing this, Shen Yi's pupils suddenly contracted as she exclaimed, "What? The Holy Spirit Cult's hideout has been found!"
Cai Yue'er affirmed seriously, "That's right, it's an emergency, and you must inform Elder Xu of this message!"
"Yes, Academy President Cai, I will tell Xu Sheng afterwards!"
After receiving a positive response, Cai Yue'er ended the communication...
The Shrek Academy students sitting beside Shen Yi were all puzzled, "Teacher Shen, what happened? We thought we heard something about the Holy Spirit Cult's hideout?"
"Could it be that we've found the Holy Spirit Cult's secret location? If that's the case, that would be fantastic!"
"Once the hideout is exposed, the Holy Spirit Cult will definitely become the target of a joint force elimination effort!"
Shen Yi glanced at them and said, "Now that you know, just keep it to yourself. Do not spread this information or else you will be expelled from Shrek Academy!"
It was unexpected to discover the Holy Spirit Cult's hideout during their trip to Xingluo Land; this meant that the timing became quite urgent!
The chill mixed in her tone made the students' backs involuntarily go cold, causing them to shrink to the side...
Although Teacher Shen had changed somewhat due to matters of love, she was essentially still the feared White-haired Witch!
However, at that moment, a guard whispered something to the host, who then showed a look of astonishment on his face...
But he quickly composed himself, picked up the microphone, and announced, "The competition will now be temporarily paused!"
This statement immediately caused dissatisfaction among some of the Soul Masters, who rebuked, "They're pausing it just like that? What's going on?"
"Our enthusiasm was just getting started, why pause it now? Is there something wrong with this host?"
"Everyone quiet down. Normally, the Youth Soul Master competition is not easily paused; something serious must have happened!"
"Psh, what serious thing could it be? It's not like His Majesty the Emperor has personally arrived!"
Of course, compared to those Soul Masters who were voicing their complaints, the two teams currently on the battle stage were the most embarrassed!
This included Tang Wulin and his companions!
Under the watchful eyes of the audience, the host cleared his throat, braced himself, and announced, "Just a moment ago, the esteemed Princess of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Yun'er, has arrived at the Youth Soul Master competition venue. Please welcome her with a round of applause!"
Upon hearing this, the Soul Masters who had been grumbling were suddenly bright-eyed and voiced their excitement, "My heavens, is it true? Her Royal Highness the Princess has actually come in person!"
"They say the Princess of the Star Luo Empire is a beauty! I didn't expect to have such a feast for the eyes today!"
"Of course, the nobles pursuing Her Royal Highness the Princess could line up for who knows how long, but without exception, they've all been graciously turned down!"
"Nonsense, Dai Yun'er is not only a princess by title, but she's also from the Monster Academy."
As expected, after about a dozen seconds, Dai Yun'er, dressed in royal noble attire, entered the venue of the Young Soul Master Competition under the protection of several strong protectors...
This scene instantly attracted the attention of everyone present!
Xu Sheng, sitting at the referee's table, propped up his chin, wondering, "Is such a grand entrance necessary just for an appearance?"
Mu Ye narrowed his eyes and said, "Hmm, she is the Princess of the Star Luo Empire after all... Eh? The talent of this little girl is truly astonishing!"
In her perception, Dai Yun'er's soul power rank had already reached the level of a Soul King, which even among the younger generation, put her in the front rank!
Pan Wen stroked his beard, "For Sect Master Mu to speak so highly, it seems that Dai Yun'er is indeed no ordinary individual!"
The other referees nearby, with a proud tone, said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess is the daughter of the Xingluo Empire's Emperor, Dai Tianling, and has entered the Monster Academy based on her own strength, without relying on her status!"
"That's right, Her Royal Highness the Princess truly epitomizes the pride of the royal household, inheriting not only Huo Yuhao's spirit eyes but also Dai Mubai's Ghost White Tiger! She's absolutely capable of reaching the heights of a Hyper Douluo in the future!"
"In my view, the Princess's talent is no less than any of the inner court students from Shrek Academy! In fact, it might even be stronger!"
To this, Xu Sheng simply smiled lightly, not offering any retort…
Dai Yun'er's talent was indeed good, but when compared to the inner court students of Shrek Academy, at best, she was at the bottom of the rank!
Dai Yun'er took a deep breath and glanced at the strong protectors by her side, "You all should step back! Lest you interfere with the Young Soul Master Competition."
The strong protectors frowned slightly and hesitated, "But, Your Highness the Princess, your safety…"
Upon hearing this, Dai Yun'er chuckled and said, "This is the Star Luo Empire, who would dare make a move on me here?"
It was simply impossible for anyone to brazenly assault her during the Young Soul Master Competition!
With no choice, the protectors retreated but stayed hidden around the venue, ever vigilant...
Meanwhile, Dai Yun'er waved to the Soul Masters in the spectator stands and then calmly took her seat at the referee's table, sitting down gracefully...
Then, her gaze began to wander restlessly over the people at the referee's table, promptly captivated by Xu Sheng's handsome appearance!
Her eyes quietly twinkled with stars...
This man, how handsome! Is he a noble of our Star Luo Empire? Why have I never seen him before?
If I could have him as my teacher, wouldn't I be in high spirits every day?
But if his strength is too weak, my father the emperor would never agree! It would also damage the dignity of the royal family!
Damn it, what should I do? It's so rare to meet such a handsome man...
While she was indulging in her fantasies, a middle-aged man beside her gently reminded her, "Your Highness the Princess, everyone is waiting for you to announce the continuation of the duels!"
This remark snapped Dai Yun'er out of her reverie, her cheeks flushing slightly...
She then stood up from her chair and declared in a serious tone, "As the Princess of the Star Luo Empire, I hereby announce that the Young Soul Master Competition will now continue!"
