Shrek Academy!
Inner Court!
The inner court students who had gathered outside the Sea God's Pavilion, seeing that the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion had yet to appear, couldn't help but start discussing...
"I don't know why, but I feel that the atmosphere in the academy is a bit off today, as if something is going to happen!"
"Really? I think it's just the same as usual; maybe it's just your misconception!"
"No, something must have happened, otherwise, why would the Elders ask all the inner court students to wait outside the Sea God's Pavilion?"
"Wait a second, I heard that Hall Master Tang and the others had recently gone to the federation to discuss some important matters, could it be that we're about to go to war with the evil Soul Masters from the Douling Empire??"
"Huh? Go to war with the evil Soul Masters? Just in terms of the number of Soul Masters alone, we're at an absolute disadvantage, not to mention the troublesome existence of the Ghost Emperor!!"
In an instant, their moods became tense...
If they really were going to war with the evil Soul Masters of the Douling Empire, then...this might be the last time they were gathered here!
There was a great possibility that they would fall in the fight against the evil Soul Masters!!
However, after waiting for a few more minutes, Cai Yue'er finally arrived, albeit belatedly...
At a glance, she noticed the unusual atmosphere below...
Quite curiously, she asked, "What's wrong with you students? Everyone looks troubled; did some conflict arise before I got here?"
One of the inner court students came to their senses, shook their head, and denied, "No, Elder Cai, we were just worrying about the upcoming battle!"
Cai Yue'er frowned, "Worrying about the upcoming battle, can you be more specific?"
How could she not know that Shrek Academy was going to war with any force?
The former was stunned and exclaimed, "Eh, Elder Cai, didn't you gather us here to announce that we are going to war with the evil Soul Masters of the Douling Empire?"
Hearing this, Cai Yue'er realized that they had misunderstood her intention...
With some helplessness, she covered her forehead, "Who told you we are going to war with the evil Soul Masters? This time all inner court students are gathered here for a different matter!"
If they were going to war with the evil Soul Masters of the Douling Empire, how could the inner court students be so leisurely!
After these words were spoken, a sigh of relief came from deep within the inner court students...
It's not war with the evil Soul Masters; that's good news; at least they don't have to worry about losing their lives!
Once they had calmed their minds, these inner court students questioned again...
"Then, Elder Cai, what is the matter for which you've assembled us??"
"In the past, such a situation would mean that something nontrivial had happened; surely this time it's the same, right?"
"Elder Cai, don't beat around the bush, please tell us so we can have an idea in our minds!!"
"Yes, yes, I was so scared when I first received the message!"
Cai Yue'er nodded slightly, then explained, "Here's the situation: in order to evaluate the real combat abilities of you inner court students, after numerous discussions, the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion have finally decided on something!"
She paused all of a sudden...
The eyes of the inner court students lit up, filled with expectation...
"Let all the inner court students divide into groups of seven to engage in actual combat drills with the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion!!"
This statement directly made the inner court students widen their eyes, suspecting they were hallucinating…
"What?? We have to fight the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion? Isn't this... a bit too exaggerated?"
"Indeed, no matter how well we coordinate, we can't possibly be a match for the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion with soul power ranks of Hyper Douluo!!"
"It can't be... actually having to combat the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, I can say without hesitation, the battle would be completely one-sided!!"
"Guys, don't look so despairing. Since this has been unanimously agreed upon by the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, it must not be that simple!!"
"That's right, this combat simulation must be intended to boost our team spirit and combat ability. The Elders of the Sea God Pavilion will certainly not exert their full strength, otherwise there'd be no point in fighting!"
Cai Yue'er affirmed their words, "Correct, just like the few students just mentioned, while you will fight the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, the Elders will not use their full strength!!"
"Otherwise, it wouldn't serve the purpose of training!"
With confirmation, the inner court students found themselves at a loss for words…
After all, the opportunity to spar with the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion was rare!!
The inner court student standing at the very front had a resolute look in his eyes and inquired, "Then Elder Cai, when do we start the combat simulation? I want to prepare in advance!"
The corners of Cai Yue'er's mouth curled up slightly as she replied, "Now!"
As her voice fell, the other Elders of the Sea God Pavilion began to emerge one after another from within the Sea God Pavilion…
Tang Wulin was the first to look at Cai Yue'er and asked softly, "Elder Cai, have you finished explaining about the combat simulation?"
She nodded slightly, "Yes, I have informed the inner court students, and they are very enthusiastic!"
Originally, I thought the students might be dissatisfied, but it seems they all understand that the situation on the Continent changes in the blink of an eye, and they need to accelerate their strength improvement!
Tang Wulin expressed his understanding, "Is that so, that's good!"
Xie Xie next to him was clearly feeling somewhat excited, licking his lips he said, "To spar with these students, it really has been a while!"
This expression chilled Xu Xiaoyan and the others…
Yue Zhengyu suddenly reminded him, "Xie Xie, don't look so excited. It's really disgusting!"
"Also, while they are inner court students, the strongest among them are only Soul Douluo, so we must control our strength!"
Xie Xie glared at him, "I know that, of course. Although we can't use our full strength, a bit of hardship now won't be wrong for their survival in future battles!"
"Didn't we also come this way back in the day?"
Yue Zhengyu frowned slightly, "This…"
Indeed, they had reached their current position by skirting the edge of death countless times!
A world of difference compared with these students who stayed in the inner court!!
Yuanen Yehui spoke up expressionlessly, "What Xie Xie said isn't without reason. If we go too easy, then the combat simulation will be meaningless!"
Considering it, Xu Xiaoyan commented, "Since Ye Hui has said so, during the combat, let these students experience the brink somewhat."
Ye Xinglan glanced at them and suggested, "Elder Cai, instead of chatting here, we might as well get started sooner rather than later, after all, we can't afford to waste all our time on this!"
Cai Yue'er also came back to her senses, "Alright, without further delay, everyone head to the Soul Fighting Area now!"
