At the same time, Elder Ya'li was staring sternly at the two inner court students before her...
She rebuked them coldly, "You two little fellows, your strikes were neither light nor heavy. Had I not arrived in time, one of you could have shattered your Martial Soul!"
Upon hearing this, the two students bowed their heads, filled with apologies, "Elder Ya'li, we are sorry for the trouble we caused you!"
Seeing their willingness to admit their mistakes, Ya'li's tone softened somewhat, "You are all students of Shrek Academy and should be supporting each other, not fighting!"
"I do not want to see this happen a second time, understood??"
The two inner court students finally breathed a sigh of relief and answered without any hesitation, "Understood! We promise there won't be a next time!"
Ya'li then nodded, "Alright, go back now, and try not to cultivate these few days to prevent the injury from recurring!"
"Yes, Elder Ya'li!"
After giving them a sign, they left with lingering fears...
Yuan En Zhentian, who had been silent by the side, finally spoke up, "Elder Ya'li, it's rare to see you so angry!"
Ya'li looked at him helplessly, "I had no choice, the children from the inner court are too heavy-handed and could easily cause a disaster!"
Then she counter-questioned, "However, Elder Yuan'en, what brings you to the inner court today? Don't you need to manage the Yuan En Clan anymore?"
Upon hearing this, the latter bitterly smiled and then sighed, "Elder Ya'li, don't mock me. Since the last destruction of the academy, the Yuan En Clan... has only a few clan members left, there's really nothing to manage!"
Visible to the naked eye, a sense of guilt emerged in Ya'li's eyes, "Elder Yuan'en, it's the fault of us Elders of the Sea God Pavilion. If we had dispatched one more person to guard the academy back then, maybe..."
Flander bowed his head and said in a somber tone, "Everyone, in my opinion, should our Shrek Academy consider relocating a bit?"
He now had some psychological trauma, fearing that in the next second, another Title Douluo powerhouse might appear!
Zhao Wuji decisively stated his position, "I second that. I don't want to be targeted by a Title Douluo again. That feeling is very ominous!"
Li Yusong hesitated for a moment, "Then... let's shift slightly. We old bones can't withstand so many scares!"
Shao Xin shrugged, "It's all up to the dean. I don't have any objections, although the relocation might take some time!"
Lu Qibin sighed, "Whether we relocate or not, I don't have any objections. I only hope we can properly cultivate the academy's children into talent."
Zhao Wuji clenched his fist and said earnestly, "We definitely will. Shrek Academy has received so much of our dedication, it won't just decline like this!"
Flander nodded and commanded, "Then give the order. Let the children help as well!"
Since someone from Martial Soul Hall came to warn us, it shows that Shrek Academy indeed holds potential!
In a way, this is also a good thing!
...
However, with each step they took, their mood grew heavier...
For the ground was littered with the bodies of their companions...
It was only when they reached the outer court square that they found the blood-soaked Shen Yi, along with other academy teachers...
"That's... Dean Shen and the teachers from the academy!"
"Hiss... Dean Shen's arm was actually torn off forcefully. These evil Soul Masters are truly heartless and mad!"
"Everyone, check the students' bodies separately. There might still be survivors!"
Upon these words, some of the students quickly dispersed to search the surroundings...
As for the lead teacher, they immediately flashed to Shen Yi's side and closed their eyes to carefully sense for life forces…
After a long while, one of the students swallowed hard and could not help but ask, "Teacher, Dean Shen and the other teachers…"
The former reopened their eyes, showing an expression of grief and desperate anger…
"Dean Shen, she has no life force left; we're too late!"
This time, the Holy Spirit Cult must have dispatched a powerhouse of the Four Heavenly Kings level to take action!
Otherwise, there's no way the academy could have been annihilated!
And the students who had been trying to find survivors also bowed their heads…
"Teacher, we've thoroughly searched, but inside the academy… not a single student survived; they all died at the hands of evil Soul Masters!"
"Damn the Holy Spirit Cult! They actually took advantage of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion going to the abyss to launch a surprise attack on the academy! Despicable and shameless!"
"What should we do? The Elders of the Sea God Pavilion venturing into the abyss have an uncertain fate, and Dean Shen has also been sacrificed…"
"Could it be that our Shrek Academy is really going to perish?"
After arriving at arena number one, Tang Wulin faced his first match in the soul master tournament!
His opponent was a tall man with a fierce demeanor and only one eye!
He looked at Tang Wulin with scorn, taunting, "Hmph, you're my opponent? If you know what's good for you, drop out yourself. Otherwise, I won't be merciful when we start fighting!"
After saying that, he released his Martial Soul—a mutated variant of an eight-legged lizard!
Nine soul rings rose beneath his feet…
Witnessing this, Tang Wulin thought to himself, "No wonder he's so arrogant. I didn't expect my opponent to be a Title Douluo!"
However, his face remained unchanged as he said, "Isn't the soul master tournament only for male Soul Masters under the age of twenty-five? You seem to be over the age limit, sir!"
The one-eyed man seemed to hear a joke, laughing coldly, "So what if my age is over the limit? With so many Soul Masters here, who's going to check one by one?"
"Enough talk, die!"
In the blink of an eye, he rushed towards Tang Wulin, throwing a punch towards his face…
The latter, of course, did not just stand there; he countered with a punch of his own…
And just like that, their fists collided, producing a metallic clang, and both staggered back a few steps…
The one-eyed man looked slightly surprised, "Oh? You can block my attack without using your Martial Soul; interesting!"
"But that's all you've got! Fourth Soul Skill, Terror Proliferation!"
In an instant, his abdomen split open on its own, revealing six additional arms…
The surrounding defeated onlookers all felt a chill run down their spines…
After Turbid World left, Xie Xie looked at everyone, puzzled, "What do we do now?"
Without Wulin, they also did not know what to do!
Ye Xinglan pondered, "With Wulin not around, and the Blood Dragon Squad suffering heavy injuries, the only high-end combat forces left in the Blood God Army are just the Blood God Camp and us, the Shrek Seven Monsters! Let's go help with the patrols!"
Yuanen Yehui nodded, "Yeah! I think that's a good idea, better than doing nothing; let's lessen the burden on the Blood God Army!"
Yue Zhengyu was the first to give an answer, "Then let's do that. After all, we're all elites from various armies!"
