Elsewhere, having boarded the Soul Guidance Train, Gu Yue followed the faint connection with He Ditian and arrived at the legion's station!
When she saw the vast scale of the legion before her, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but sparkle with a sharp brilliance, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Oh? Is this the legion after their expansion?"
She had thought it would take time to develop, but she hadn't expected such rapid expansion in such a short period!
It was vaguely visible that many legion members were discussing excitedly…
One of the members picked up the form in his hand, delightedly saying, "Today, our legion has gained a few hundred more Soul Masters, it might not take long before we become one of the top forces on the Continent!"
Another member beside him proudly said, "That's right, it's because our leader reached Ultimate Douluo! Just by that alone, it's enough to uphold the prestige of our entire legion!"
"Exactly, our legion has received the federal support, it seems that even the War God Hall looks favorably upon us!"
"Enough talk! We need to keep a low profile! Otherwise, if we attract the attention of other forces, who knows what they might do!"
Gu Yue pursed her lips and stepped forward, "Excuse me, may I join?"
Her words immediately drew everyone's attention, and upon sensing the soul power fluctuation emanating from her…
They were all astonished, "What? Barely in her teens and already a Soul Ancestor! Such terrifying talent!"
"To attract such a talented young soul, I doubt even the leaders would refuse!"
"That's not certain, in my opinion, it's still best to ask the leaders, after all, our legion has no precedent of recruiting children!"
Those who could join their legion were all adults!
"No need, we're already here!"
Upon the fall of those words, a man, who naturally exuded authority, stepped out from behind them!
It was none other than Di Tian, along with other ferocious beasts!
Seeing this, the legion members quickly bowed and said, "Leader, esteemed ones!"
Di Tian gave them a cursory glance and said indifferently, "Alright, you all can leave now."
"Yes!"
After the legion members responded, they decisively left!
Only then did Di Tian's golden eyes focus on Gu Yue in front of him, respectfully saying, "My lord! You have finally arrived!"
The other ferocious beasts also chorused, "My lord!"
Gu Yue nodded slightly and inquired, "Di Tian, this is the Soul Beast Legion you've established? How are things currently?"
Di Tian was taken aback, then answered, "Yes, my lord, our legion now has nearly tens of thousands of Soul Masters, and it shouldn't take much longer before we can expand further into the surrounding areas!"
After a pause, he continued, "Furthermore, in addition to the continually expanding size of the legion, we have also gained the support of the federation and have started attempting to research soul tools!"
Gu Yue's expression grew serious, "You've received federal support, but at what cost?"
She didn't believe that the federation would give such significant support to a strange legion without reason!
Bi Ji smiled slightly, "Nothing escapes you, my lord. The price we paid is simple, just to mention a name on the federation's side!"
This matter could be considered important or completely meaningless!
After all, once the legion really develops to the extent that it can contend with top forces, it can completely be disregarded!
However, before that, temporary affiliation with the federation isn't a bad thing!
Gu Yue thoughtfully nodded her head, "I see, there shouldn't be a problem then!"
One of the ferocious beasts changed the subject, "My lord, it's not easy for you to come back, how long do you plan to stay this time?"
Gu Yue showed a trace of helplessness on her cheeks, "I'm only passing by to take a look today, tomorrow I must return to the Academy!"
```
She, too, wished to stay longer to witness the legion's development with her own eyes, but the rules of Shrek Academy were very strict!
If one didn't return to the academy within the specified time, they would be expelled directly!
Upon hearing these words, all the ferocious beasts were somewhat disappointed...
Seeing this, Di Tian said with some displeasure, "Alright, it's not easy for the lord to come back, so why are all of you wearing such expressions!"
After saying that, he suggested to Gu Yue, "Lord, let me take you inside to take a look at the legion's interior. Perhaps there are aspects we haven't considered yet!"
Gu Yue softly uttered, "Mm!" and followed in Di Tian's footsteps...
Watching Di Tian and her leave, the ferocious beasts standing there were at a loss...
With a bewildered face, one asked, "Then what should we do?"
Bi Ji, annoyed, swept a glance over them, "Naturally, we should guard the surroundings! Our legion has been under surveillance by quite a few forces recently!"
Especially... those evil Soul Masters with the stench of evil about them!
This faintly gave her a sense of an ominous premonition...
...
When Tang Wulin and his group entered the academy's interior, they were immediately gobsmacked...
At this moment, the entire academy's classrooms and open areas were packed with figures, and the uniform Tang Sect attire already explained their identities!
Tang Wulin inhaled sharply, "Hiss... so many Tang Sect disciples, are they fake?"
No wonder Teacher Shen had reminded them to get along with the Tang Sect disciples amicably!
Xie Xie rubbed his eyes in despair, "I must be seeing things, right? Are these really the Tang Sect disciples that were almost wiped out?"
The total number of Tang Sect disciples now probably even exceeded the number of outer courtyard students at Shrek Academy!
Ye Xinglan exclaimed, "Tsk, with so many Tang Sect disciples, it looks like the Inner Court also needs to be put back into use!"
Otherwise, just the outer courtyard would be suffocatingly crowded!
Xu Xiaoyan expressed her confusion, "I have a question, if the Tang Sect no longer exists and Shrek Academy just so happens to need Soul Masters, why not take in the Tang Sect disciples as Shrek students?"
Tang Wulin shook his head in denial, "Impossible, the Tang Sect disciples have strong feelings for their own sect. Their sect was just destroyed; asking them to join Shrek Academy so soon – whoever it is wouldn't accept that!"
Moreover, joining Shrek Academy now might mean they would never be able to break away and re-establish the Tang Sect in the future!
On the other side, Zheng Yiran and her group also noticed Tang Wulin and the others ahead!
Luo Guixing said in surprise, "That's... Tang Wulin and the others, their strength has grown so much!"
Zheng Yiran's face darkened as she said angrily, "Damn it, how is this possible? Only two of them should have advanced to Soul Ancestor, so why has their aura increased so much!"
Xu Yucheng glanced at them, "Their strength will catch up to us soon, or even far surpass us! It's pointless to harbor any animosity; after all, we are all students of Shrek!"
After this vacation, he had completely come to his senses!
Being adversaries was of no benefit to either side!
In the past, they could rely on strength and prestige to suppress others, but now, their position in class was already very awkward. If they were to provoke trouble deliberately, they might end up as targets of universal condemnation!
Anyone smart knew how to make the right choice!
