Chapter 1405 Bottleneck (Please Subscribe)_1

Seeing Wu Dousi's words, Gu Yue didn't insist further and nodded, "I see, well, okay then!"

She was just being polite and didn't really intend to invite her!

Tang Wulin pursed his lips, "Since that's the case, we will take our leave."

After the group had left the classroom, Xie Xie confusedly said, "I say, Wulin, Gu Yue, why did you guys take the initiative to approach Wu Dousi just now? She targeted us not too long ago."

Xu Xiaoyan gently chided him, "Fool, didn't you notice there seems to be some conflict between Wu Dousi and Luo Guixing and the others?"

Xie Xie was stunned, "Really? I didn't notice that!"

Gu Yue said with certainty, "That's exactly what Xiao Yan said, that's why Wulin and I took the initiative to approach her!"

Tang Wulin agreed, "Wu Dousi is very strong, if we can maintain a good relationship with her, it wouldn't be a bad thing for us!"

Ye Xinglan said coldly, "No matter how strong she is, she still lost to us in the duel!"

Next to her, Xu Lizhi quietly reminded, "Sister Xinglan, your targeting is a bit too obvious!"

Ye Xinglan was taken aback, then snorted coldly and said nothing more...

...

In the office, Xu Sheng looked at Yuanen Yehui and Wu Dousi standing beside him with a bit of helplessness, "Umm, what brings the two of you here...?"

Upon hearing this question, the two women exchanged glances, as if trying to discern each other's thoughts...

Yuanen Yehui spoke up first, "Teacher Xu, I am here to request your guidance for my training!"

Xu Sheng pursed his thin lips in understanding, then turned his gaze toward Wu Dousi with a somewhat amused expression, "Wu Dousi, do you feel the same way?"

Without changing her expression, Wu Dousi nodded, stating earnestly, "Yes, Teacher Xu, I also wish for you to instruct me in my training!"

Seeing that even Yuanen Yehui, the strongest second-year student, sought guidance from Xu Sheng, she knew her decision was the right one!

Seeing their common purpose, Yuanen Yehui's expression suddenly turned icy, "Wu Dousi, I came to Teacher Xu first. By doing this, you are, in a way, being an interloper."

Wu Dousi narrowed her beautiful eyes, unabashedly retorting, "Teacher Xu hasn't yet agreed to instruct you in training, right? That means I have an equal chance!"

After pausing, she added with an edge to her words, "Moreover, wouldn't it look bad for a second-year student to seek out the head teacher of our class?"

As their conversation ended, their eyes met, neither seemingly willing to back down...

Seeing this, Xu Sheng reached out and gently ruffled their heads, "You both are students of Shrek Academy, so let's not be so confrontational!"

With his intervention, the atmosphere in the office eased somewhat...

He then turned to Wu Dousi curiously, "However, I am curious, Wu Dousi, weren't you under the tutelage of Academy President Cai? Why not let her teach you?"

The latter responded without any intention of hiding her thoughts, "The teacher has to deal with affairs at Sea God's Pavilion, so she has no time to instruct me!"

She had initially planned to ask Cai Yue'er for guidance, considering the latter was a Super Douluo level powerhouse!

But due to the incident with the inner court student, Cai Yue'er had to deal with many affairs of Sea God's Pavilion, leaving her with no time for instruction!

Xu Sheng didn't say much else, "I understand. Since both of you trust me so much, then starting tomorrow, follow me for training!"

Both of them were overjoyed, "Yes, thank you, Teacher Xu!"

...

Elsewhere, a team that was covertly transporting supplies...

The leading man, of Soul Douluo level, took a deep breath and said to the other Soul Masters behind him, "Ahead is the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult! Although they have dealings with our Spirit Pagoda, we mustn't be careless!"

He might be a Soul Douluo, but his strength was nothing in front of the Holy Spirit Cult!

One of the Soul Masters chimed in, "Yes, sir, you're right. Those guys from the Holy Spirit Cult are incredibly cunning; who knows when they might stab us in the back!"

Another Soul Master also suggested, "I think we should prepare our soul tools in advance. If anything unexpected happens, we'll withdraw at the quickest speed possible!"

"Agreed, I don't want to entrust my life to them!"

After several seconds of thought, the Soul Douluo agreed to the suggestion…

Consequently, everyone secured their flying soul devices onto themselves before proceeding slowly forward…

Sure enough, before long, they felt the ambiance around them change…

Waves of cold and piercing evil auras pervaded the area, making it somewhat difficult to adapt to!

As they ventured deeper, they could vaguely see numerous evil Soul Masters wearing black robes, completely covering their faces!

The particularly alert evil Soul Masters at the forefront spotted the team from the Spirit Pagoda in the blink of an eye and shouted sharply, "Who goes there!"

At this utterance, the rest of the evil Soul Masters also cast unfriendly looks in that direction…

The leading Soul Douluo pushed down the trepidation in his heart and said without changing his expression, "We are a team from the Spirit Pagoda, and these are the new Artificial Spirit Souls!"

After he spoke, two evil Soul Masters went over to carefully inspect the materials…

Only after confirming that everything was an Artificial Spirit Soul did they nod and let them through…

The Soul Douluo Warrior breathed a quiet sigh of relief and then led the Soul Masters behind him into the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters…

However, after they left, each of the evil Soul Masters' eyes revealed a strange gleam…

…

Meanwhile, in the topmost pavilion of the Holy Spirit Cult…

Halos bowed slightly and said, "Demon Emperor, the Spirit Pagoda has delivered the new batch of Artificial Spirit Souls. It should be enough to replenish one-third of the evil Soul Masters!"

He was quite satisfied with the efficiency of the Spirit Pagoda!

The woman nodded impassively and asked casually, "And those Soul Masters? Have they all been dealt with?"

These Soul Masters, who knew of the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters, definitely could not be allowed to leave!

With a slight smirk, Halos said, "Rest assured, Demon Emperor, those Soul Masters from the Spirit Pagoda have all been converted into evil Soul Masters!"

Today's Holy Spirit Cult was different from the past; converting Soul Masters into evil Soul Masters was a breeze!

The woman nodded and said indifferently, "Good, as long as the Spirit Pagoda can be of use to us, then let it exist for a little while longer!"

Halos bowed respectfully and replied, "I understand, but Demon Emperor, there seems to be a bottleneck in the final stage of that thing!"

The woman glanced coldly at him and said with an icy voice, "A bottleneck? Then use whatever means necessary to summon those powerful Forging Masters here!"

Halos hesitated, "But…"

Before he could finish, he was cut off, "No buts. That thing is the key to destroying Shrek Academy, and we cannot afford any mistakes!"

"Yes, Demon Emperor! I will heed your teachings!"
