Chapter 472: Gathering of the Six Shrek Seven Devils

...

Oscar's words left both Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun silent.

Although Zeng Yi didn't enter Shrek Academy the same way they did, he was forcibly brought to the academy for study. In other words, Zeng Yi was a transfer student.

But they were still classmates, living and practicing together, so their relationships were unquestionable.

However, they had a feeling that Zeng Yi never fully integrated into their group of seven, into the Shrek Seven Devils.

It wasn't that they felt something was wrong or lacking in the camaraderie, but the dynamic between Zeng Yi and them was somewhat delicate.

Even though they were peers, Zeng Yi's strength far surpassed theirs. Many times, they weren't training and practicing together with Zeng Yi, but rather, Zeng Yi was training them, guiding their cultivation.

This relationship was not like classmates, but more like a mentor and student.

Perhaps this dynamic was what made the relationship between Zeng Yi and them feel somewhat delicate.

Of course, they still considered Zeng Yi their good brother, someone they respected and admired.

But what happened five years ago was beyond their expectations.

Zeng Yi was actually engaged to the Holy Saintess of the Spirit Hall!

If they had known earlier, they might not have had any issues. They might have even felt fortunate. After all, their big brother was marrying into the Spirit Hall, and they had a close relationship with him. Wouldn't that secure their future? Wouldn't their path be filled with brightness?

But during the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, when the Spirit Hall discovered that Xiao Wu was a spirit beast, a 100,000 year spirit beast no less, and attempted to capture her, they stood up for her and fought against the Spirit Hall.

This strained the already tensed relationship between the Spirit Hall and Shrek Academy!

Furthermore, Tang San regarded the Spirit Hall as an enemy.

In this situation, Zeng Yi's engagement with the Holy Saintess of the Spirit Hall became a complicated matter for them.

After all, both sides were their friends, their brothers and sisters!

And Dai Mubai believed it to be a good thing. After all, the Spirit Hall was a massively influential force, and Tang San's actions were risky. With Zeng Yi acting as a mediator, many conflicts could potentially be avoided.

But what Dai Mubai didn't expect was that Zeng Yi actually ran away from the marriage!

Oh well, scratch all the previous thoughts.

Now, even the chance of Zeng Yi appearing seemed unlikely since he was wanted by the Spirit Hall across the continent. There were many spies from the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City.

Dai Mubai and his two brothers stood near the school gate, conversing about their experiences over the years and waiting for their still-absent companions.

After some time, a stunning sight appeared in front of the gate of Shrek Academy, attracting the attention of everyone nearby.

The focus of their gazes was on two beautiful women standing side by side. One of them wore a black gown with white patterns embroidered on top, and even though the robe was loose, it couldn't hide her alluring, curvaceous figure.

Her long, sleek black hair was tied into a ponytail that cascaded down her back. A bamboo sword hung at her waist, and as she moved, a sharpness seemed to emanate from her, making bypassers unconsciously step aside.

The other woman next to her, in terms of temperament and appearance, was no weaker than her companion. She wore a simple white dress, her long hair flowing freely behind her. Her every expression was serene, elegant, noble, and devoid of vulgarity, carrying an inherent grace.

Standing side by side, they resembled two exquisite flowers of different styles, blooming and competing for attention. They immediately became the center of focus at the entrance of Shrek Academy.

Some people wanted to approach and strike up a conversation, but the goddess-like grace and purity in their presence made them feel inadequate, almost unable to meet their eyes.

"Beautiful ladies, can we get to know each other?"

A familiar voice came from behind, and the two women turned their heads to see two tall and handsome young men, along with a chubby fellow, looking at them with smiles.

"Dai Mubai! Oscar! And you, Ma Hongjun!" Ning Rongrong's face involuntarily filled with excitement and joy upon seeing these familiar faces.

Although it had been five years since they last met, she remembered their faces vividly. Time had erased their babyish features and added a touch of maturity.

A faint smile appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's normally expressionless face, and a trace of excitement flickered in her melancholic eyes. "Long time no see, everyone!"

"Zhuqing, Rongrong, I've missed you all so much!" Ma Hongjun, looking at the graceful figures in front of him, shouted excitedly, opening his arms as if about to embrace them like a fat goose in flight.

Seeing Ma Hongjun's action, Ning Rongrong involuntarily took a step back, startled. But the next moment, Ma Hongjun stopped mid-step, freezing in place, sweat breaking out on his forehead.

The tip of a bamboo sword halted right next to his nose, emanating an unparalleled sharp aura, causing him to shudder.

Ma Hongjun couldn't help but raise his eyes and look along the bamboo sword, only to meet Zhu Zhuqing's icy gaze, which made him swallow hard in fear.

"Hehe, Zhuqing, I was just joking around. You don't take it seriously, do you?"

"What do you think?" Zhu Zhuqing laughed coldly.

"You really don't learn, huh? You dared to flirt with our female teammates. Oscar, teach him a lesson!" Dai Mubai burst into laughter, gripping Ma Hongjun's shoulder firmly.

"Sure thing!"

Oscar complied and joined Dai Mubai in giving Ma Hongjun a lecture. Ma Hongjun exaggeratedly screamed in misery, and the sight of him made both Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong laugh.

Not long after, a handsome young man with long blue hair also arrived at the gate of Shrek Academy.

This person was none other than Tang San.

However, during these five years, his Blue Silver Grass Martial Spirit had evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Spirit and the hidden Blue Silver Bloodline had been awakened, resulting in a significant change in his appearance.

For a moment, Dai Mubai and his group thought Tang San was fake, an imposter, and, as a result, they had a brief brawl.

Eventually, the misunderstanding was cleared up, and everyone marveled at Tang San's tremendous transformation. It was like meeting a whole new person.

Now, the Shrek Seven Devils, except for Xiao Wu, who was still in the Star Dou Forest, had all gathered.

Soon, they entered the academy and found their way to the office of the academy's principal.

"Long time no see, Dean Flender!"

The six of them walked into Flender's office.

Flender, who was leisurely sipping his tea, turned his chair around upon seeing the six people in front of him. His eyes widened, and he accidentally sprayed the tea he had yet to drink.

"You, you all..."

Surges of excitement swelled within Flender as he stood up from behind his desk, scanning the faces of the six individuals before him. The Shrek Seven Devils were forever his pride, the pride of Shrek Academy. Seeing these children appear once again made his heart surge, rendering him somewhat uncontrollable.
