1474

And so, the entire Continent had peacefully passed an entire month without any conflicts arising!

But, the higher-ups of any power knew that this was merely the calm before the storm!

Shrek Academy!

In the last one or two months, about six or seven outer courtyard students had passed the assessment and entered the Inner Court! To some extent, this motivated the outer courtyard students!

Consequently, Tang Wulin and the others had also made a breakthrough to Soul Ancestor, and Wu Dousi had even reached Level 47, just three levels shy of breaking through to Soul King!

At this moment, on the vast outer courtyard square! Numerous chairs were set up, naturally occupied by various teachers and the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion!

And the surroundings were filled with Shrek outer courtyard students and Tang Sect disciples, each of them looking with curiosity and confusion at Cai Yue'er, who stood on the stage...

Murmurs rose, "Is there some event today? It's actually got all the teachers and the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion to attend!"

"Who knows! Just thinking with your butt you'd know it's definitely not a minor matter, the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion are way too busy to fuss over trivial things!"

"Yeah! Everyone quiet down and listen carefully! Academy President Cai will surely explain!"

Xie Xie glanced at Gu Yue beside him and asked, "Gu Yue, what do you think our academy is planning this time? Could it be that they're mobilizing us to go to war against the Holy Spirit Cult??"

Before Gu Yue could answer, Tang Wulin rolled his eyes, "Xie Xie, what are you thinking about every day! Itching for a war, huh? With our strength, don't even talk about a full strike, we wouldn't even make it up there!"

If they really had to go to the battlefield, there was only one outcome for these low-level Soul Masters—they would become cannon fodder!

Xu Xiaoyan nodded in agreement, "Exactly, exactly. Having the opportunity to cultivate in peace like we are now, you should count your blessings instead of talking about going to the battlefield!"

Ye Xinglan said with a cold voice, "Peace? It's not necessarily peaceful now. Have you all forgotten the dreadful state of the Tang Sect?"

Xu Lizhi swallowed hard, his voice trembling, "Level Twelve Soul Guidance Shells, even our Shrek Academy wouldn't be able to withstand them!"

Having said that, he took a bite of a fragrant bun to calm his nerves!

The rest upon hearing this, chose to fall silent...

Visions of those ruins shrouded in gunpowder smoke surfaced in their minds!

Unintentionally, their bodies had already gone numb...

Only Gu Yue remained expressionless, stating lightly, "These are not concerns we as students should have. If the Holy Spirit Cult isn't continuing to use Level Twelve Soul Guidance Shells, it also represents that there are limitations!"

"So, it's better to focus on our cultivation!"

What worried her the most, besides the situation with Di Tian, was her other personality!

It was on the verge of awakening!

Having said this, she also cast a deep glance at Tang Wulin...

However, in the midst of their conversation, Cai Yue'er, who stood at the front of the stage, looked down at the extremely noisy crowd below...

She couldn't help but frown and said sternly, "Everyone, be quiet!"

In an instant, the oppressive might of a Limit Douluo Level spread instantly, promptly silencing all Tang Sect disciples and Shrek students...

Only then did Cai Yue'er continue, "The reason for gathering all faculty and students, as well as the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, is to notify everyone of a matter!"

"Next month, our academy will select a group of students from two classes to go to the Xingluo Land for an exchange event"

"The age range this time will be between first and second years. So, I hope everyone will actively strive for a spot!"

Hearing this, the Shrek students' eyes lit up, "Damn, going to the Xingluo Land for an exchange? Doesn't that mean representing Shrek Academy in combat? The very thought is thrilling!"

"Give it up, just Wu Dousi and the others from Class One could probably take up most of the spots. Do you think you have a chance?"

"Eh! That's none of our business, just watching is fine! If only we were a bit stronger!"

And the Tang Sect disciples revealed a strong sense of discontent…

Just Shrek Academy's students, then? What about them, the Tang Sect disciples?

"Wait! President Cai, what about us in the Tang Sect?"

"Indeed, don't we from the Tang Sect need to go as well?"

"Eh, I bet in the eyes of other forces, our Tang Sect must have been wiped out already. Otherwise, we would have received an invitation by now!"

"How can this be, the Tang Sect obviously still exists!"

"As long as we are here, the Tang Sect hasn't been extinguished. We must prove this point to the other forces."

Hearing these strong calls, Cai Yue'er's gaze shifted towards where the Tang Sect Hall Masters were seated...

She slightly nodded and said, "Regarding this matter, the academy has also discussed with the esteemed Tang Sect Hall Masters, and we will specially select a team from the Tang Sect disciples to depart with our academy!"

"However, there are only five spots in total!"

Xingluo Land had not invited the Tang Sect, and bringing them along without permission carried the risk of criticism!

But if it was only five people, given Shrek Academy's reputation, it's likely they would turn a blind eye!

...

After returning to the first-class classroom, the students slumped into their chairs, complaining loudly, "Finally, it's over. There was no ceremony when school started, but this time, it was all made up for!"

"You can say that again! We stood for hours, my legs are like jelly!"

"Hey! I'm so jealous of Wu Dousi and the others; they get to represent Shrek Academy and go to Xingluo Land!"

"No helping it, it's because our strength isn't up to par! If we went, we'd only bring shame to the academy! Better not to go at all!"

Hearing these words, Wu Dousi maintained a surprisingly calm demeanor…

Following this, Xu Sheng approached the podium, smiled, and started, "Alright, I believe President Cai has already made the situation clear to everyone! I shall not stress on it further."

After a pause, she continued, "Because the students of our class are the strongest among all the grades, they have been pre-selected."

"Next, the names I'm going to call out are of the students I personally consider suitable for the exchange at Xingluo Land! If anyone has objections, they may bring them up later."

"Wu Dousi, Zheng Yiran, Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, Ye Xinglan, Xie Xie, Luo Guixing, Xu Lizhi…"

Until Xu Sheng finished reading the list, not a single student spoke up to interrupt!

Because in their view, the names Xu Sheng listed were indeed the most suitable, and there were no objections!

Just in case, she still asked again, "Does anyone have objections? Or does anyone feel that they have the strength to go? If not, the final list will be the students mentioned above!"

But as soon as she said this, indeed, there were students who raised doubts…

"Wait! Teacher Xu, we understand why the others can go, but why can Xu Lizhi go too? Isn't he a support-class Soul Master?"

"Exactly, for a matter involving fighting for the academy's honor, there's no need to send a support-class Soul Master to be a burden."

"Teacher Xu, please choose someone else, cancel Xu Lizhi's qualification!"

"That's right, cancel Xu Lizhi's qualification, it's better to replace him with another student!"
