Chapter 3316

Sea God's Pavilion!

When all the Elders arrived, the first person they noticed was Xu Sheng!

Filled with joy, Turbid World said, "Elder Xu, you have finally returned. If you hadn't come back, we would have thought something had happened to you!"

Feng Wu Yu also stroked his beard in agreement, "Yes, Elder Xu's strength is not inferior to the Pavilion Master's. With him here, we can all rest assured."

Yuanen Zhentian pressed his lips together, "If we disregard some factors, I would even recommend Elder Xu to become the Sea God Pavilion Master!"

Xu Sheng gave a slight smile, "You all flatter me too much. The fact that Shrek Academy has survived so many difficulties is thanks to each and every Elder present here, not just me."

Long Yeyue also seemed in a good mood, "Alright, Elder Xu has finally come back, so we needn't dwell on this matter any longer!"

Ya Li's beautiful eyes twinkled as she asked softly, "In that case, Elder Xu, may I ask you a question?"

Xu Sheng glanced at her, "Please speak, Elder Ya'li..."

Taking a deep breath, Ya'li said, "I heard that after you left the academy, you went to the Blood God Army and even obtained the military rank of colonel in a short period of time. Can you explain why you did that?"

"Of course, we haven't sent anyone to monitor you, Elder Xu. It just so happened that the Blood God Army mentioned it!"

Seemingly afraid that Xu Sheng might misunderstand, she quickly added another sentence...

Not only Xu Sheng, but the other Elders also fell into silence...

Elder Ya'li was indeed straightforward, daring to ask such questions directly!

Following that, Xu Sheng opted not to hide anything and answered in an unhurried manner, "I had no ulterior motives. I simply wanted to take a look at the abyss suppressed by the Blood God Army."

Long Yeyue narrowed her eyes, "Then, Elder Xu, did you gain anything from this journey?"

Merely taking a look... Was it really that simple?

Xu Sheng's expression became resolute, "Naturally, there was a gain. After slaying several lower-level Abyssal Emperors, I have roughly estimated the strength of Abyssal Emperors in the lower and middle layers to be between that of a Titled Douluo and a Hyper Douluo."

On the other side, Zhen Hua said with relief, "Good, then I'll wait for you at the Forging Association."

"I think by then, your soul power rank should have already broken through to Soul Sage. As your teacher, I will forge the Three-Word Battle Armor for you in advance."

As the number one Divine Craftsman on the Land, the greatest gift he could give his disciple was either Battle Armor or a Mecha.

Gu Yue seemed pleasantly surprised, "Thank you, Teacher! However, someone should be forging it for me!"

Zhen Hua seemed to pick up on something as he raised an eyebrow, "Are you referring to that kid, Wulin? Although his forging technique is close to that of a level-7 blacksmith, it's still far from enough to forge Three-Word Battle Armor!"

A hint of hesitation appeared on Gu Yue's face, "But still..."

Not giving her a chance to object, Zhen Hua declared, "That's settled then. He forges what he forges, and I forge what I forge. We can't mix the two."

He should've known better than to have taught Tang Wulin everything wholeheartedly; otherwise, when he surpasses him, what precious gifts would he, the Divine Craftsman, have left to offer his disciple?

Gu Yue found it difficult to decline, and said respectfully, "Then I thank you again, Teacher. And you must also be careful. The Holy Spirit Cult may very well strike back at Soul Land!"

That brief statement greatly satisfied Zhen Hua's pride. He confidently said, "Don't worry, with Mu Ye around, no one would dare to cause trouble at the Blacksmith Association for the time being!"

"Alright then, with you safe, as your teacher, I'm also at ease. I'll go now and prepare a unique set of Battle Armor for you!"

As soon as she had spoken, she quickly hung up the connection...

Gu Yue's beautiful eyes were fixed on the communicator, unable to let go for a long time...

Perhaps, she could choose to tell the teachers about the Soul Beast Legion and her own identity...

"Tap, tap, tap!"

"Councilor Gu Yue, your lunch is ready!"

A woman's voice came from outside!

Gu Yue tried to keep her face calm as possible and said indifferently, "Come in!"

Immediately after, a female member of the Spirit Pagoda entered, carefully carrying the food in both hands...

One could say that even the food from the window number one of the Ferocious God Legion appeared much cheaper in comparison!

The corners of Cai Yue'er's mouth slightly curled up, "Oh, it seems you have come prepared then!"

Regarding the matter of the evil Soul Master, Shrek Academy would definitely not be able to shirk responsibility, but, if they were to risk a great danger to provide support without any benefit, there was no such good thing under the heavens!

The envoy nodded slightly, "Indeed, His Majesty the Emperor has granted us a certain degree of authority, as long as the demands of Shrek Academy are not too excessive, everything can be considered on a case-by-case basis!"

In other words, they had the right to negotiate on behalf of the Xingluo Empire's Emperor!

Cai Yue'er's beautiful eyes sharpened, and she said earnestly, "Is that so... then what if I say that I want Shrek Academy to establish a branch on Xingluo Land?"

Upon hearing this, the envoy's body jolted abruptly, his expression changed significantly, and he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead saying, "Elder Cai, let's not jest about such matters, shall we?"

If Shrek Academy were to open a branch on Xingluo Land, just the reputation of being the number one academy on the Continent alone, who would still go to the native schools of Xingluo Land?

This slight change could potentially lead to a decline in the quality of students for Xingluo Empire and even affect future situations!

Cai Yue'er crossed her legs and said leisurely, "I was just joking, you don't need to be so nervous, we at Shrek Academy won't take advantage of a crisis!"

Upon hearing this, the envoy finally breathed a sigh of relief...

He thought to himself, "This Elder of the Sea God Pavilion is truly fearsome! With just a few words, she had taken the upper hand in the negotiations!"

Meaning that from this point on, he had no say in negotiating the terms!

Xu Sheng expressed his surprise, "Oh? Surely the Elders must have considered the possibility of the Holy Spirit Cult escaping, right?"

Given they planned to encircle and suppress the Holy Spirit Cult, they must have anticipated the Cult's potential escape; the Sea God's Pavilion could not have failed to consider this!

Hearing this, a wry smile appeared on Turbid World's cheeks, "Indeed that is the case... but most of the forces involved in this eradication operation are very weak. If we disperse them to surround the enemy, it will only lead to unnecessary sacrifices!"

One must know the number of evil Soul Masters in the Holy Spirit Cult is in the thousands, not a small number by any means...

Xu Sheng chuckled lightly, "Is that so? It seems that the inner court of Shrek has been heavily damaged, which has indeed caused the academy's status on the Continent to drop!"

Turbid World's eyes suddenly brightened as he spoke, "That's right, Elder Xu, the Pavilion Master said that as soon as you return, head to the Sea God's Pavilion, where we will discuss how to deal with the Holy Spirit Cult's counterattack!"

Since the Holy Spirit Cult has already reached Xingluo Land, it is clear they do not want to clash head-on with the various forces of the Soul Land for the time being!
