Yue Zhengyu sincerely exclaimed, "Is this Teacher Xu's Life Force? Although I haven't touched it personally, I can clearly feel the tremendous power contained within!"
"Perhaps, just this sliver is already not weaker than the full release of Elder Ya'li's Life Force, right?"
Xu Xiaoyan nodded and said with full expectation, "Mhm, I have the same feeling, as if this power could heal all wounds. Isn't it just like Teacher Xu? Truly formidable!"
Yuanen Yehui pursed her thin lips and a few traces of regret appeared on her cheeks, "I don't think it's anything surprising, after all, when Teacher Xu suppressed the Abyssal Emperor, it was a unilateral crushing victory!"
"The power he left behind is naturally incomparably strong, it's just a pity... that there's only this sliver of Life Force!"
Ye Xinglan's gaze was firmly fixed on the Life Force that flickered like a candle in the wind...
"Yes, although finding the Life Force Teacher Xu left behind is already incredibly fortunate, it is still, after all, too little. In the battles to come, I'm afraid it can only be used to heal common injuries!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Lizhi immediately became dejected, "Ah? Doesn't that mean, even if we obtain this strand of Life Force, it won't be of much use?"
Having finally found the Life Force only to have a mere strand of it, anyone would be unwilling to accept this!
Seeing everyone's spirits fall to the valley floor again, Gu Yuena couldn't help but speak up to interrupt, "Um... everyone, have you perhaps misunderstood something? The sliver of Life Force in my hands is merely a tiny bit that I was able to capture!"
"That doesn't mean Teacher Xu only left behind just this strand!"
According to her estimation, these ruins should possess quite a lot of Life Force!
In an instant, the mood of the group was lifted again, and everyone's faces showed excitement...
"What?? There's more than this bit? That's great!!"
"Yes, if we can obtain more Life Force, we'll have much more assurance in the battle against the Ghost Emperor and other evil Soul Masters!"
"Ordinary Life Force should only have a healing effect, but I guess, Teacher Xu's Life Force might even be able to restrain evil Soul Masters!"
"Hey, no more wasting words, since there's still Life Force here, let's capture it all first. I can't wait any longer!"
Tang Wulin scratched his head and interjected, "Not to discourage everyone, but although there is a lot of Life Force, capturing it is extremely difficult. Even with Gu Yue and my joint efforts, we only barely managed to capture this strand!"
"Let alone, spiritual power can't directly detect the existence of Life Force, making it much harder!"
Xie Xie frowned and countered, "Wulin, what do you mean by that? Are you saying you think we can't capture the Life Force?"
Their spiritual power might not be as abnormal as Tang Wulin's and Gu Yuena's, but they were still at the Hyper Douluo level!
As long as they could perceive it, capturing would be a piece of cake!
Tang Wulin immediately waved his hands to deny, "No, that's not what I mean. To capture Life Force with the highest efficiency, it's best to pair up, so..."
Gu Yuena didn't let him continue to ramble, "Wulin... it's better to first tell everyone how to locate the Life Force!"
Time was of the essence, and they needed to grasp every second they could!
Tang Wulin nodded earnestly upon hearing her words, "Alright!"
...
At Shrek Academy, inside the Sea God's Pavilion!
Cai Yue'er looked at the empty seats around her and said with an ugly expression, "I don't know how those kids are doing. They still haven't returned to the Academy. I hope nothing has happened."
After all, those ruins were the battlefield of God King level powerhouses, and hidden dangers could lurk anywhere!
Staying there for a long time, it's very likely that an accident might occur!!
Meanwhile, the other Elders of the Sea God Pavilion seemed much calmer…
Lan Muzi was the first to respond, "Elder Cai, your concerns seem somewhat unnecessary. Not to mention Gu Yuena, just Wulin and the others already boast six to seven Hyper Douluos!"
"Unless the Ghost Emperor of the Dou Spirit Empire personally launches an attack against them, there is simply no danger!"
Elder Ya'li nodded slightly, agreeing with this statement…
"That's right, with Wulin's current strength, he is on par with Yun Ming from years ago, not to mention the other members of the Shrek Seven Monsters. Nothing unexpected will happen!"
"Besides, don't they all have communicators? If they don't return by tomorrow, we can just contact them!"
Cai Yue'er glanced at them and sighed, "Elder Ya'li, Mu Zi, what I'm worried about is not that Wulin and the others will encounter an enemy!"
"It's that unremarkable expanse of ruins!"
She naturally knew about the strength of Tang Wulin and the others, but there was still a huge gap to the God Rank!
If the Abyssal Emperor had set up some trap in that area, wouldn't they be completely wiped out?
Yuanen Yehui pondered for a moment, then propped up his chin and said, "Hmm, Elder Cai does make some sense. Even though that expanse of ruins hasn't caused any problems up until now!"
"But, who knows if there is any trouble left behind by the Abyssal Emperor!"
Tang Yinmeng narrowed her Beautiful Eyes and said, "It shouldn't be that bad, right? Xie Xie goes to that place every now and then!"
"If there really were any traps left by the Abyssal Emperor, they would have been triggered already!"
Cai Yue'er shook her head again, "Well, maybe I am indeed overthinking it!"
It was all speculation on her part, with no substantive evidence!
Seeing this, Elder Ya'li changed the subject, "Instead of worrying about their safety, it would be better to guess why Wulin was in such a rush to notify everyone to head to the ruins!"
Lan Muzi subconsciously answered, "It's probably just to eliminate danger, right?"
He too had been to those ruins before, and there was nothing noteworthy!
However, Tang Yinmeng spoke with certainty, "Mu Zi, you're thinking too simply!"
"With Wulin's character, he wouldn't call to arms over such a matter. Most likely, something important has been discovered in the ruins!"
Lan Muzi inquired further, "If that's the case, why didn't Wulin tell us the situation?"
The former hesitated for a moment, "Perhaps because it's not yet confirmed, and he doesn't want us to worry unnecessarily."
"But regardless, since Wulin and the others haven't taken the initiative to contact us, it must mean that nothing serious has happened!"
"As Elders, our greatest help is to stay at the Academy and protect the students!"
Elder Ya'li chuckled lightly, "Mmm, Yin Meng is right. While Soul Land may seem very peaceful at the moment, that is because the Federation and the Spirit Pagoda keep each other in check!"
"If a war were to break out, the Academy would certainly be affected. It's not bad to be a bit more cautious!!"
