Chapter 471: Reunion After Five Years

...

The Ice Empress and the Ice Devil Titan King watched the earth-shattering battle unfold from a distance. The sky seemed to be on the verge of collapsing, and the ground shattered as a terrifying energy storm raged through the space. This scene was like the end of the world.

"It's over!" 

The two remained suspended in the air, waiting for the thick ice and snow dust to dissipate. What came into view was a massive, pitch-black palm imprint on the ice field.

It appeared as an endless abyss, as if the Snow Empress's strike had pierced through the earth, sending the human into the depths of eighteen layers of hell.

No chance of survival!

The Snow Empress's figure, resembling an icy lotus, floated above the giant palm imprint. Her bright and watery eyes gazed at the darkness, reflecting a hint of confusion.

"Elder sister."

The Ice Empress and the Ice Devil Titan King quietly appeared behind the Snow Empress.

"That human should be dead, right?"

"Elder sister, you're so amazing. You're truly formidable!" The Ice Empress crossed her hands in front of her chest, her bright eyes filled with admiration and infatuation.

Hearing this, the Snow Empress glanced at the Ice Empress, her devoted little fan, and shook her head.

"I don't know. Maybe he's dead."

"Could that guy still survive your attack, elder sister? That's impossible!" The Ice Empress couldn't help but feel puzzled by the uncertain tone of the Snow Empress.

Even she felt chilled looking at this bottomless, pitch-black palm imprint on the ground. If she were hit by this strike, she would undoubtedly meet her demise.

She couldn't imagine who else could survive such a devastating attack.

"He's gone." The Snow Empress's eyes focused on the abyss of darkness. 

Upon hearing this, the Ice Empress couldn't help but feel doubtful, staring wide-eyed at the Snow Empress's figure.

"Gone? What does that mean?"

The Snow Empress explained, "The Ice Mirror Worm is a spirit beast that lives beneath the ice. It possesses a special talent called Space Jump!"

"So, the human was transported away by the Ice Mirror Worm's spatial ability?" the Ice Empress asked.

The Snow Empress nodded lightly and continued, "My attack sent him into the depths of the ice layer, where the Ice Mirror Worm resides. Its power is enough to annihilate him, but in the moment of crisis, it used its spatial jump to escape and incidentally dragged the human into a spatial rift."

"So, he's still alive?"

Upon hearing this, the Snow Empress felt uncertain and shook her head.

"I don't know. According to the power of that attack, he shouldn't have survived. But since he disappeared, I can't confirm it myself. So, I'm not quite sure whether he's alive or dead."

After speaking, the Snow Empress couldn't help but raise her head and look at the sky, a trace of melancholy in her eyes.

In the sky, the awe-inspiring scene persisted. The clouds were neatly divided, and the sharpness permeated the world, lingering for a long time.

Mysterious colors flashed in the Snow Empress's eyes. These deep eyes seemed to pierce through time and foresee the future.

"I have a premonition that in a short while, this world will change. No place on the mainland will be spared."

As a favored child nurtured by heaven and earth, the Snow Empress, who had already reached the pinnacle of this world, had extremely accurate intuition. Sometimes, she could even foresee the upcoming changes.

Peering into the celestial secrets!

As they listened to the Snow Empress muttering to herself, the nearby Ice Empress and Ice Devil Titan King couldn't help but feel unsettled and a sense of foreboding.

"Does that include us here?" the Ice Empress asked.

The Snow Empress remained silent but nodded slightly.

Seeing her response, the Ice Empress couldn't help but be incredulous. "Does this mean that even with your power, elder sister, you can't protect the Extreme North?"

The Snow Empress let out a light laugh, seeming somewhat self-mocking. She said, "Bing'Er, the world is vast. Even I am just one of the many beings in this world. Power is ultimately limited."

"A great calamity is approaching, and no one will be spared! However, isn't this also an opportunity? Destruction can also bring Creation."

The Snow Empress extended her delicate, white jade-like hand, and a snowflake landed in her palm.

In the sky, fluffy snowflakes began to fall, and a chilling wind swept through.

The giant palm imprint on the earth, like a wound, rapidly healed. But in the blink of an eye, the cavity had been filled with extreme ice. Everything that had just happened here was now dissipating like smoke.

...

Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou Imperial City.

Five years ago, the Shrek Academy in this place won the championship in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, defeating numerous elite academies and bringing glory to the Heaven Dou Empire.

Upon hearing this news, the Heaven Dou Emperor was extremely excited and pleased. He even personally welcomed the students and teachers of Shrek Academy at the city gate, thanking them for bringing this honor to the Heaven Dou Empire.

It was also because of this that Shrek Academy received the support of the royal family, with funds pouring in. Coupled with the fame of being champions, they were able to recruit more talented students.

During these five years, due to fame and resources pouring in, Shrek Academy underwent large-scale expansion and transformation, surpassing even the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy to become the best spirit master academy in the Heaven Dou Empire.

Every young spirit master aspired to enter Shrek Academy, wearing the academy's uniform was a matter of pride.

The warm sun shone in the sky, with a clear azure expanse.

Gentle warm winds enveloped Shrek Academy with a touch of scorching heat. Many students wearing the distinctive green uniforms could be seen shuttling within the academy.

A tall figure, dressed in luxurious attire and adorned with golden long hair, was slowly approaching the gates of Shrek Academy.

He gazed towards the academy, his eyes widening in astonishment. When did the memory of the academy gate become so grand and majestic?

This made him somewhat incredulous.

"Time flies, and even the academy has become unfamiliar to me. Five years have passed, I wonder how everyone else is doing?" The golden-haired youth sighed.

"Excuse me, but please don't stand in front of our academy gate. If you're here to apply for our academy, you're too late. The deadline has already passed."

At the front gate of Shrek Academy, two students wearing the academy uniform approached the golden-haired youth, who had been standing in front of the gate for a while.

"Apply to the academy? Hahaha!" Upon hearing this, the golden-haired youth couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Why are you laughing? Do you look down on our Shrek Academy?" The students, puzzled by the sudden burst of laughter, couldn't help but become angry.

"Sorry, I didn't mean that. It's just, look at my age, do you really think I would still come to study in an academy? Am I still so young?"

Upon hearing his words, the two students exchanged glances, feeling that they had been ridiculed.

The golden-haired youth seemed to be of a similar age to them. Did that mean they were still children?

The golden-haired youth stopped laughing and explained his purpose.

"I'm not here to apply. I'm here to find someone."

"Who are you looking for?"

"The Dean of this academy, Dean Flender! And Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang."

The students frowned slightly. "Dean and Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang are both very busy people. They can't just meet anyone who wants to see them. Do you have an appointment?"

"Um."

The golden-haired youth found himself at a loss for words. How could he not enter his own alma mater? When did it become so troublesome? That dean had become successful and started to act all high and mighty, even requiring appointments for a simple meeting.

He helplessly shook his head and said, "Please inform them that Dai Mubai wants to meet them. They will see me. Please do me this favor."

Upon hearing this, the two students' expressions became astonished, their eyes widening. "Dai Mubai? Are you the Dai Mubai, the captain of the Shrek Seven Monsters?"

"Yes, he's Dai Mubai, my boss!"

Just as Dai Mubai felt pleased with himself, a familiar voice came from ahead. The moment this voice sounded, even the air became scorching hot.

"Fatty!"

"Boss! You're finally here! I thought you guys were standing me up!"

Ma Hongjun rushed over. After so many years, the two brothers met again and couldn't help but smile, clenching their fists together.

This kind of friendship needed no excessive words.

They chatted for a while when, not long after, a young man in a leather jacket approached.

"Oscar!"

"Long time no see, Boss Dai, and Fatty." Oscar walked towards them, visibly excited, embracing each of them and expressing his excitement.

Looking at the handsome, resolute Oscar before them, Ma Hongjun couldn't believe his eyes. "It's impossible! You, this playboy, have become so masculine and full of manly charm these past five years? I can't accept it!"

Seeing Ma Hongjun bellowing while pointing at him, Oscar couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eyes, clenched his fists, and sneered, "Five years have passed, Fatty. You're still so obnoxious."

"Five years of not seeing each other, and you guys don't have a good word for me."

"Ha ha."

"By the way, is it just the three of us? Did we forget about the others?"

Dai Mubai said, "They shouldn't forget. We made a pact back then, they'll definitely come back, it's just a matter of time.

Only Zhuqing, Rongrong, Xiao San, and Xiao Wu are missing.

But Xiao Wu might not be able to come."

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun and Oscar understood. Five years ago, it was because Xiao Wu's identity as a spirit beast had been exposed that she was targeted by the Spirit Hall and nearly killed.

Although they didn't mind Xiao Wu's identity, the Spirit Hall was obsessively focused on her. If she rashly came to the human world to meet them, it would likely put her life in danger.

Therefore, even without Xiao Wu's presence, they could understand.

"What about Yi Ge? Will he come?" Oscar asked.

At this moment, Oscar couldn't help but ask.
