Chapter 1679: Officially Becoming an Inner Court Student (Please Subscribe)_1

As one name after another was called out, the hope in Zheng Yiran and the others' eyes grew dimmer, until, after all the names were read, it turned into silent disappointment!

None of them had been selected for the Inner Court!

And the other students all had looks that said, "Just as expected..."

"Tsss... It really is Tang Wulin and the others. Ah, but it's true, they have all reached the level of Soul King, and Wu Siduo is even close to breaking through to Soul Emperor!"

"I didn't expect so many students to be admitted to the Inner Court this time, and all from our class too. Doesn't that mean we all have a good chance of getting into the Inner Court?"

"It's really a credit to our class, but it's a pity; if Tang Wulin and the others leave, our class might not be able to keep the other classes in check!"

"What's there to fear? Zheng Yiran and the others are still here, aren't they? I remember they didn't get the qualification to enter the Inner Court!"

Xie Xie, feeling proud under the attention of many, said leisurely, "This feeling isn't too bad at all!"

Xu Xiaoyan nodded in agreement, "Yeah, after all, it's very rare for one class to have seven or eight students join the Inner Court!"

The Inner Court, in the eyes of the outer courtyard students, was a place they dreamed of!

Tang Wulin sighed, "Eh, it's just that Teacher Xu will still need to teach Class One, and won't be able to only teach us!"

Ye Xinglan smiled and said, "Don't all show that expression, today is the day we join the Inner Court. Haven't you seen how envious everyone else is? Especially Zheng Yiran, it's like he wants to eat us alive!"

Gu Yue glanced sideways and indeed noticed Zheng Yiran glaring at them with hateful eyes...

When Xu Sheng on the stage saw some of the students feeling down, he said, "The students whose names were just called out will officially enter the Inner Court after this morning is over!"

He paused for a moment and continued, "Of course, for those who wish to join the Inner Court but were not called out, I hope you will train hard, as there will be many more opportunities in the future!"

...

By noon, Tang Wulin and his friends, led by Xu Sheng, arrived at the gate that one must pass through to enter the Inner Court!

Taking a glance ahead, they saw that Cai Yue'er was already there waiting for them!

Upon seeing her, the group greeted in unison, "Academy President Cai!"

Cai Yue'er nodded slightly, "Mhm, congratulations to you youngsters. From today on, you are officially Inner Court students!"

Currently, there weren't many students in the Inner Court, so the usual welcoming ceremony was not held!

Cai Yue'er's expression turned serious, "However, becoming Inner Court students means that you will shoulder the responsibility of slaying evil Soul Masters and will inevitably have to fight against the evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult!"

"And the worst outcome is... you may all fall! Even so, do you still wish to stay in the Inner Court?"

If anyone spoke out against it, they could return to the outer courtyard to continue learning. Of course, that would also be the end of their future at Shrek Academy!

Upon hearing this, Xie Xie immediately puffed up his chest and said, "Of course we're willing. Is that even a question? Mere evil Soul Masters aren't qualified to make me afraid!!"

Tang Wulin also said with a determined face, "That's right, we have thoroughly considered this before joining the Inner Court! Slaying evil Soul Masters is every Soul Master's duty!"

Xu Xiaoyan chuckled and added, "We've put in our utmost effort to get here. To speak of regret now would be far too late!!"

...

Hearing these spirited answers, a few strands of satisfaction appeared on Cai Yue'er's cheeks, "Very good, then welcome to Shrek Inner Court!"

Perhaps with the addition of these kids, the Inner Court won't take long to regain its vitality...

...

Elsewhere, the Dark Blood Devil, radiating a dense scent of blood, seemed to be in a frenzy as he laughed uproariously towards the sky, "Hahahaha! Fantastic, it has been too long since I've had such exhilarating slaughter!!"

The Blood Demons behind him, already drenched in fresh blood, had an aura so immense that the whole space turned into a purgatory...

And the other Soul Masters, paralyzed with fear and sitting on the ground, had their eyes filled with intense terror…

"This... This guy is a monster! Everyone run!"

"The despicable Holy Spirit Cult... to think, to think they would unleash such a monster upon us!"

"Quick... Run! Go inform the military immediately, they must have a way to save us!!"

"Even if the Xingluo Empire's army arrives in time, they won't be a match for this guy in front of us. He's at least at the Super Douluo level of strength!!"

"It's better than waiting here to die!!"

As they saw them fleeing, it further piqued the interest of the Dark Blood Devil, who licked his lips and sneered, "Hmph? Want to run? Just become my food!"

The next second, he transformed into a crimson apparition, incessantly reaping the lives of one Soul Master after another...

Nanali, observing from a distance, slightly frowned and said, "This guy... has completely lost control!"

If the Dark Blood Devil had any sanity left initially, now, he was nothing but a bloodthirsty beast!

His mind was filled with nothing but slaughter!

She was afraid that if the two of them appeared before the Dark Blood Devil, he wouldn't hesitate to attack them!

Leng Yulai disdainfully said, "Such a creature should have been discarded long ago. If it weren't for his Ultimate Douluo strength, hmph!"

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and turned her head to ask, "Right, how are things on your end?"

Nanali pursed her thin lips and replied indifferently, "I have already begun to take preliminary control over the Spirit Transmission Tower Branch, but to provide a large number of Artificial Spirit Souls will take some time!!"

Every Artificial Spirit Soul sold by the Spirit Pagoda would be recorded. If they were to give a large amount of Artificial Spirit Souls to the Holy Spirit Cult in one go!

It would definitely arouse suspicions from many people!

Therefore, she intended to take firm control of the Spirit Transmission Tower Branch first, then secretly transport the Artificial Spirit Souls to the Holy Spirit Cult!

Leng Yulai narrowed her eyes, "I will report this matter to the Sect Hierarch. It's crucial for the Holy Spirit Cult that you take control of the Spirit Pagoda as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, Nanali turned her body away, her back facing the other, and said, "I don't need you to teach me about these matters!"

With those words, she disappeared from sight...

…

In the grand hall of the Xingluo Empire!

Dai Tianling exclaimed in anger, "What?? There's been an attack on civilian Soul Masters even with the army's protection??"

This was practically an insult to the Xingluo Empire!

The soldier responsible for the report bowed his head, his forehead breaking out in cold sweat, "Yes... Yes, according to the civilians who fortunately escaped, the one who acted was one of the Four Great Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult, the Dark Blood Devil!"

"Besides that, no other evil Soul Masters were found causing trouble!"

Only then did Dai Tianling force himself to calm down, thinking to himself, "Only the Dark Blood Devil acted alone? It feels like it's not that simple!"

His intuition told him that the Holy Spirit Cult must be plotting something...
