The Shrek Seven Monsters, patiently waiting at the gate of Shrek Academy, suddenly heard a loud noise…
Soon after, a military vehicle came into view…
After the vehicle stopped in front of the gates of Shrek Academy, the man dressed in military uniform sitting in the driver's seat stepped out…
His resolute gaze fell on them as he spoke seriously, "May I know which of you are Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan? I'm the military personnel responsible for picking you up!"
At these words, Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan looked at each other before stepping forward…
"That's us!"
The man glanced at them, nodded slightly, and said, "Please get in the car! This trip will be long, so prepare yourselves mentally!"
Xu Xiaoyan took a deep breath, "Thank you! But please give me a minute to say goodbye to everyone!"
The man said nothing, obviously giving his consent…
Then he turned his gaze back to the rest of the Shrek Seven Monsters with a tinge of reluctance, "The military vehicle that's here to pick us up has arrived, Yuan Zhengyu and I will have to leave first. Take care, everyone!"
The rest nodded slightly, "Take care!"
After speaking, Xu Xiaoyan and the others got into the vehicle, which quickly drove out of sight…
Later, the military vehicles responsible for picking up Xie Xie and the others also arrived one after another!
After bidding them farewell one by one, only Tang Wulin was left standing alone outside the gate of Shrek Academy…
With a heavy heart, he sighed, "If only Gu Yue could enlist with me!"
It was hard to imagine how he would get through the days without her…
Before long, the military vehicle responsible for picking up Tang Wulin had also arrived…
The soldier inside got out of the car, recognized Tang Wulin's face, and confirmed, "You must be Tang Wulin, right? Get in the car!"
Tang Wulin pursed his lips, "Yes!"
But just as he was about to enter the vehicle, a ethereal voice called out from behind him, "Wulin! Wait a moment!"
Hearing this all-too-familiar voice, Tang Wulin turned around excitedly to find that it was Gu Yue, the person he had been thinking about day and night…
He instinctively rubbed his eyes, stunned, "Gu Yue? Am I dreaming?"
Gu Yue smiled slightly, "What, you're not happy to see me?"
Tang Wulin hurriedly shook his head, "No… I'm very happy, I didn't expect you to come to see me off on the last leg of my journey!"
Even though it wasn't quite what he had hoped for, he still felt immense warmth in his heart!
Gu Yue stepped closer, pinched the flesh at his waist, and said with annoyance, "See you off? What are you talking about, silly, I'm here to enlist with you!"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch... Eh? Enlist… with me? But don't you still have to deal with your family's matters?"
Tang Wulin suddenly felt pain, but as he realized what she said, his eyes widened...
Gu Yue hesitated before changing the topic, "Let's talk about that later! Let's get in the car first."
Some things, when talked about too much, might give things away, better to keep them close to the chest for now.
Tang Wulin didn't push further, nodding joyfully, "Okay!"
However, just as they were about to get into the car, Gu Yue was unsurprisingly stopped by the soldier…
The soldier spoke apologetically, "I'm sorry, miss, but according to the military district, I'm only responsible for picking up Tang Wulin alone! You cannot accompany him!"
These words triggered a recollection in Tang Wulin's mind…
He realized with a shock, "That's right, when applying for the military district quota, Gu Yue didn't report in time to the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion!"
This meant that Gu Yue had no qualifications to go to the military district with him!
Upon this realization, Tang Wulin's face fell once again…
It seems heaven itself does not wish for Gu Yue to stay by my side?
However, to the side, Gu Yue spoke respectfully, "Teacher Xu!"
Tang Wulin subconsciously looked over, and when he caught sight of the ghost-like figure of Xu Sheng who had suddenly appeared, he was startled!
Equally surprised was the man before them, who was staring intently at the distinguished Xu Sheng and cautiously asked, "May I ask who you are?"
Who is this young man? When exactly did he appear beside us?
I didn't sense even the slightest soul power fluctuation!
Xu Sheng casually said, "I am an Elder of the Shrek Academy's Sea God's Pavilion, Xu Sheng!"
The man responded incredulously, "Wha... What? You... You are a Sea God Pavilion Elder??"
Is this some kind of joke?
Since when did the Sea God Pavilion have such a young Elder!!
To know, the minimum requirement to become a Sea God Pavilion Elder is to reach the soul power rank of Hyper Douluo!
Does that mean, the man before me, is a terrifying powerhouse at the level of a Hyper Douluo?
Thinking this, cold sweat started to stream down his back...
Noticing the skepticism of the former, Xu Sheng immediately released his Martial Soul, and the terrifying nine soul rings slowly rose from beneath his feet...
The massive pressure that followed instantly weighed down the shoulders of the man before him, forcing him to half-crouch on the ground, unable to move...
Having no other choice, he exerted all his strength to speak with difficulty, "Sea... Sea God Pavilion Sir, please... please retract your Martial Soul..."
Only then did Xu Sheng retract his Martial Soul, and the immense aura instantly dissipated as if nothing had ever happened...
The man, showing understanding, cupped his fists and said, "Respected Sea God Pavilion Elder, please forgive my earlier doubts about the authenticity of your identity!!!"
Xu Sheng waved his hand, "It's fine, but regarding the child Gu Yue, I'll trouble you to accompany her there. Afterwards, the Sea God's Pavilion will personally explain to the military area!"
The man was taken aback, then firmly responded, "Yes, Sir, I will make sure to safely escort both individuals to the military area!"
If the Sea God Pavilion Elder has said so, there's nothing to worry about!
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Tang Wulin gratefully said, "Teacher Xu, thank you. Otherwise, Gu Yue and I..."
Before he could finish, the somewhat embarrassed Gu Yue, holding onto Tang Wulin's arm, interrupted, "Thank you for your help, Teacher Xu. Please take care of yourself back at the academy. Wulin and I will be leaving now."
Watching this scene, Xu Sheng simply found it somewhat amusing...
"Go ahead, have a smooth journey!"
...
On the way!
Gu Yue nudged Tang Wulin with her shoulder and said with a serious look, "Wulin, have you noticed? The soul rings Teacher Xu releases are never the same each time!"
Tang Wulin responded calmly, "That shouldn't be surprising, right? The Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao used to have a soul skill that allowed him to change the colors of his soul rings at will!"
Gu Yue frowned and said, "Even so, Teacher Xu's soul rings emit an aura that seems all too real!"
A few changes appeared on Tang Wulin's expression, "What? Gu Yue, are you doubting Teacher Xu?"
Tang Wulin trusted Xu Sheng completely!
Gu Yue shook her head to dismiss the idea, "I'm not doubting Teacher Xu, it's just... eh, you wouldn't understand even if I told you!"
Tang Wulin did not argue, but muttered in his heart, "How can I understand if you don't explain it to me!"
