After this statement slipped out, Xie Xie subconsciously replied, "Of course we're going, didn't the Pavilion Master say so? This military training can enhance our strength! Moreover, once we give up, we'll be seen as deserters, and it's hard to imagine what would happen afterward!"
Tang Wulin chimed in, "That's right, the Pavilion Master must not be joking. If we give up before even reaching our destination..."
Although he didn't finish his sentence, his stance was clear!
Yuanen Yehui nodded, "I agree. We've all come this far, giving up now would mean all our efforts have been in vain. As for the ship, we should be able to find another way to rent one!"
She didn't want to forfeit this opportunity to enhance her strength, even if it came with enormous risks!
The others also expressed their opinions, all agreeing to move forward...
Yue Zhengyu couldn't help but purse his lips, turning his gaze to Xu Xiaoyan and asked softly, "Xiao Yan, what about you?"
Xu Xiaoyan took a deep breath and said earnestly, "If everyone has decided to go, I naturally won't give up! Since the Pavilion Master sent us here, it proves that the island must be accessible!"
Yue Zhengyu, who had anticipated this response, sighed and then said, "It seems everyone feels that we should continue forward, so I have no objections!"
Let's see for myself what makes the ocean of Northsea City dare to be called a forbidden zone of life!
...
Afterward, having decided to continue toward the island, the group searched Northsea City again...
Finally, at a very low price, they obtained a relatively sturdy ship from the ship merchant, but the deal came with conditions!
That was, if they successfully reached the island, they could advertise the sale of the ship in the name of Shrek Academy!
Xie Xie's expression grew complex as he said, "I say... We just agreed to that guy's terms, aren't we being too hasty? What if he uses Shrek Academy's name to swindle and deceive..."
Tang Wulin shook his head, "There's no other way. We don't have enough money because of the confiscation, and being able to rent a ship now is already very lucky!!"
Did the Pavilion Master foresee this, deliberately confiscating everyone's money to increase the difficulty of the assessment?
Yue Zhengyu then hit his chest and said, "Don't worry. Outside, no one dares to exploit Shrek Academy. That guy simply wants to use us as a gimmick to attract tourists and buyers!"
After pausing, he continued, "However, I think if the quality of the ship is solid, there will never be a shortage of buyers!"
Yuanen Yehui glanced at them, "We've already got the ship, discussing this is useless. We might as well think about how to deal with possible accidents that lie ahead!"
Tang Wulin nodded in agreement, "Yes, Ye Hui is right. We have no understanding of the strength of these sea soul beasts and the dangers of the ocean. If we act rashly, the risk is significant!"
"So, I suggest we observe from a place closer to the ocean! And set sail when it's the right time!"
...
Five kilometers away from Bin Hai!
In front of them, a wall several hundred meters tall was being erected, and all around were various types of heavy soul weapons and soul cannonballs...
Just having them on display caused an intangible palpitation in one's heart...
Witnessing all this, Tang Wulin and the others couldn't help exclaiming, "To think that so many soul weapons are needed for defense, it's hard to imagine just how fierce these sea soul beasts are!"
"Indeed, with such heavy soul weapons, even a Title Douluo entering would probably be turned into a sieve in an instant!"
"Guys, I'm starting to feel scared from the bottom of my heart, what should we do?"
"What's there to be afraid of? You're not thinking of backing out, are you? Don't forget the warning about being expelled for desertion!!"
"Didn't we already ask for everyone's opinion earlier? Isn't it a bit too shameful to go back on our word now?"
"Hehe, I was just joking, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously!"
After briefly observing the situation, the group did not choose to depart immediately but found an inn nearby to discuss what to do next…
...
The following day!
A military unit of several hundred soldiers clad in armor entered Shrek City, their flags bearing the emblem of the Xingluo Empire!
When this army arrived at the gates of Shrek Academy, they halted their march…
The captain at the front approached the two students guarding the gate and said solemnly, "Please inform the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion that the military unit tasked with escorting Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Xingluo Empire has arrived!"
Seeing this, one of the students did not hesitate and immediately stepped into the academy to inform them…
It wasn't long before Cai Yue'er came out from Shrek Academy…
Behind her stood Dai Yun'er, the Princess of the Xingluo Empire, as well as Long Yue…
The captain of the unit respectfully said upon seeing Dai Yun'er, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, we have been specially dispatched by His Majesty the Emperor to escort you back to the Xingluo Empire!"
Dai Yun'er nodded slightly and asked with a worried expression, "Hmm! What is the current situation in the Xingluo Empire?"
Long Yue also looked over, waiting for the former's response!
The captain heard this and reported, "Your Royal Highness need not worry; the Xingluo Empire has now become much more stable and should not suffer from attacks by evil Soul Masters!"
As if thinking of something, Dai Yun'er took the initiative to introduce, "Oh, by the way, this is Elder Cai, one of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion."
Upon hearing these words, the captain's gaze shifted to Cai Yue'er and he hurriedly said, "Elder Cai, please forgive my earlier disrespect!"
Cai Yue'er replied with an unchanged expression, "It's alright, but their safety will still require your vigilant care!"
Without saying anything else, if the Princess of the Xingluo Empire did not return safely, it was likely that the entire Xingluo Empire and Shrek Academy would turn from friends to foes!
The captain puffed out his chest and said earnestly, "That is indeed our duty!"
Seeing this, Dai Yun'er turned and said with an air of gratitude, "Elder Cai, thank you for your help during this time and for Shrek Academy's generous teachings. I believe the royal household of the Xingluo Empire and Shrek Academy will become steadfast allies!"
If one were to mention the fairest person to him and Dai Yun'er in the academy, it was none other than the very Cai Yue'er standing before them!
She did not show any prejudice because they were exchange students from the Xingluo Empire. She was even the one who proactively suggested that they participate in the Sea God's destiny matchmaking event!
Long Yue also echoed, "Yes, Elder Cai, thank you for looking after us during this time!"
Cai Yue'er gave a slight smile and said softly, "After you return to the Xingluo Empire this time, if there is a chance to come to the Continent of Soul Land in the future, Shrek Academy will still welcome you!"
After briefly exchanging a few sentences, Dai Yun'er and Long Yue left Shrek City under the protection of the military unit…
