And after parting ways with Tang Wulin and the others, Ye Xinglan coldly made her way to the nearest academy's exterior...
Due to her extremely beautiful appearance, she easily drew the gaze of many male students...
This caused her brows to furrow slightly, and after swiftly scanning her surroundings, she chose a more secluded spot...
The matter she was about to deal with wasn't exactly honorable, and if so many people found out, she'd probably be in big trouble!
Just then, three students chatting and laughing walked towards her...
One of them exclaimed, "Today's class was so relaxing, they even specially freed up the afternoon for everyone."
Another nodded, "That's true, but let's not forget the end-of-term exam, which is monitored by teachers."
"Indeed, our academy's end-of-term exam seems to be modeled after Shrek Academy's, where we have to defeat opponents with a higher soul power rank than ourselves! I really don't know why they came up with such an exam!"
However, as they approached Ye Xinglan, she, expressionless, coldly commanded, "You three, stop right there!"
This sudden reprimand startled the three students, each displaying a bewildered look...
Regaining their composure, they asked with puzzled faces, "Um... may I ask what you need from us?"
It has to be said, appearance indeed affects the first impression others have of you!
Even though she had called the three students over in such a brusque manner, they didn't show the slightest anger towards Ye Xinglan!
Ye Xinglan spoke coldly, "Of course, there's something I need. I need to borrow money from you!"
As for whether or not to pay it back, that was entirely up to how she felt!
Upon hearing this, the corners of the three students' mouths twitched...
While they were thrilled to be stopped by a beautiful girl, starting off by asking to borrow money was just too presumptuous!
The key issue was, they didn't even know her at all!!
With this in mind, the student who spoke before wiped his forehead and said, "Classmate, we don't even know you, how could we possibly lend you money? You should ask someone else!"
Ye Xinglan's beautiful eyes suddenly turned colder, and after pursing her lips, she said flatly, "I just overheard that your end-of-term exam is to defeat opponents with a higher soul power rank than your own, right?"
"How about this, I'm a student from Shrek Academy. You three will fight me—if you win, you lend me the money; if you lose, I'll leave. How does that sound?"
Hearing this, the three students exchanged glances, each seeing the eagerness in the others' eyes...
This woman before them was a student from Shrek Academy; her strength was certainly greater than theirs!
However, if they could defeat her, it would also count as completing their end-of-term exam!
Taking a deep breath, filled with fighting spirit, they said, "Alright, since you put it that way, don't blame us for three against one!"
...
With this thought, they initiated contact with Gu Yue...
After connecting, Gu Yue's voice, softer than ever before, came through, "Hello, Di Tian, do you have any issues to report to me?"
Di Tian was stunned for a moment, then he began, "My lord, our Soul Master Legion has now reached saturation. Staying here offers no prospect of development. Bi Ji proposed that we station ourselves in the city center. I wonder what your thoughts are..."
As soon as these words left his mouth, the other ferocious beasts were all eagerly waiting for Gu Yue's reply...
After a few seconds of silence, a voice came from the opposite side again, "I have indeed thought about this matter. It's not impossible to station ourselves in the city center, but Di Tian, you are all soul beasts. If discovered by other forces' Hyper Douluo or Ultimate Douluo..."
Seeing this, Di Tian confidently responded, "On this point, please rest assured, my lord. As long as we do not reveal ourselves actively, they will not be able to see through our true forms!"
Gu Yue nodded slightly, "That's good. Bi Ji, are you there?"
The nearby Bi Ji immediately answered, "My lord, I'm here!"
Gu Yue ordered, "Since the goal is to develop in the city center, you'll go ahead and scout the area first. It would be best to purchase a large plot of land to establish a new base for the Soul Beast Legion!"
Bi Ji acknowledged and then asked further, "Yes, my lord, but how should I choose the location?"
Gu Yue pondered for a moment then elaborated, "Just keep some distance from other large forces, and be as low-profile as possible!"
Bi Ji nodded, "I understand, my lord. Leave this matter to me!"
Gu Yue then refocused her attention on Di Tian, "Di Tian, is there anything else?"
Di Tian pursed his lips, "Nothing else, but... my lord, I don't know if it's my illusion, I always feel that you seem very cheerful today. Has something special happened?"
Gu Yue, on the other end of the communicator, suddenly blushed slightly, and spoke softly, "Hmm, indeed, something has happened. If there's nothing else, let's leave it at that."
After finishing speaking, she hung up the connection...
The other ferocious beasts naturally heard the previous conversation, and frowned as they said, "I say, could it be that our lord has someone she likes? She even showed such a girlish demeanor!"
"This won't do, humans are always sinister and cunning, not worthy of our noble lord. If I find out which little human it is, I will tear him to pieces!"
In his eyes, human Soul Masters were garbage, completely different from their sacred and noble lord!
"Give it a rest, if we really did that, our lord might become deeply grieved. I just hope that human boy doesn't take advantage of our lord!"
"Don't worry, if that human boy dares to take advantage of our lord, we don't need to take action, the boss will make that guy experience what true despair is!"
Upon hearing this, Di Tian sighed helplessly, "Quiet down, everyone. Maybe our lord is happy because of some other reason!"
However, deep down he thought to himself, "Could it be that our lord... has actually fallen in love with a human?"
In the past, the Soul Beast Clan had fallen to its current state because they believed in that guy named Huo Yuhao...
......
Tang Wulin was taken aback for a moment, then generously praised, "Long Yuxue, that's a really nice name!"
As soon as the words escaped his mouth, Long Yuxue's cheeks turned slightly red and then swiftly faded...
Gu Yue, who was at their side, caught all this and her Beautiful Eyes couldn't help but grow colder...
She always felt that the way this woman looked at Tang Wulin was becoming somewhat inappropriate!
Unaware of these thoughts, Long Yuxue calmly said, "Let's go, I'll take you guys to familiarize yourselves with the situation of the Ferocious God Legion. There are some areas where one cannot enter without permission!"
Afterward, the two of them followed Long Yuxue for a tour around the entire Ferocious God Legion and collected their new recruit supplies...
But when they realized that weapons were not included in the supplies, Tang Wulin couldn't help but inquire, "Uh... Major, don't new recruits get issued weapons?"
