In his heart, he secretly thought, "Wait until I become an Ultimate Douluo before telling myself??"
After all, there are not many Ultimate Douluo on the Continent!
Since Xu Sheng had said such a thing, it meant that he believed the other was not qualified to know!
At that moment, Wu Changkong realized that he had once again underestimated Xu Sheng—he had the strength far surpassing that of soul masters of the same level, was able to obtain a hundred-thousand-year soul ring without relying on the Spirit Pagoda, and could even repair a damaged Martial Soul and revive the deceased!
The true identity of Xu Sheng was probably much more terrifying than he had imagined!
Seeing Wu Changkong with a solemn face deep in thought, Xu Sheng just returned a faint smile, and softly said, "Teacher Wu, don't overthink it; I simply didn't want to tell you, that's all!"
Hearing this, the former deeply looked at him...
Was the truth really just as Xu Sheng had said?
He remained skeptical!
...
After roughly a day of traveling on the Soul Guidance Train, Xu Sheng and Wu Changkong were awakened by an announcement...
"This Soul Guidance Train has reached its station. Please gather your personal belongings and quickly leave the train..."
Xu Sheng stretched lazily and remarked, "That was really slow."
He could have reached Shrek City in an instant, but to avoid exposing his identity, he chose to take the Soul Guidance Train with Wu Changkong...
The Wu Changkong beside him said coldly, "Within the Alliance, apart from using Mecha, the Soul Guidance Train is already the fastest mode of transportation!"
Of course, there's also the method of reaching the Title Douluo's soul power rank and using flight to travel!
Xu Sheng blinked his dark eyes, "I was just making a remark, why so serious, Teacher Wu?"
Shortly after, they quickly left the Soul Guidance Train station...
After walking for a few hundred meters, Shrek City was already in sight...
A casual glance revealed the towering silver pinnacle, which strikingly represented the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda!
Wu Changkong casually glanced at Xu Sheng and asked, "Shall we go straight to Shrek Academy now?"
As he spoke, Wu Changkong had subconsciously clenched his palms...
It had been many years since he had returned here, and the thought of entering Shrek Academy soon and seeing those familiar faces made him extremely anxious...
Xu Sheng, of course, noticed the former's obvious nervousness and calmly said, "Alright!"
Soon, as they walked along the road, they easily drew the attention of those around them...
Several female soul masters covered their blushing cheeks, excitedly exclaiming, "Look quick! Those two men are so handsome! Are there really such perfect people in the world?"
"Really! Oh my goodness! I wonder if they have partners, and if they do, would they mind having one more!"
"Please, dear heavens, grant me a partner, I don't ask for much, just half the looks of those two men would be enough!"
"They seem to be heading to Shrek Academy ahead, could they be teachers from Shrek Academy?"
"Don't be silly, they're so young, they must be students who haven't graduated yet, right? I'm so envious of the female students at Shrek Academy, tsk tsk!"
Amidst the chirping and chattering, Xu Sheng and Teacher Wu took about half an hour to arrive at the legendary Shrek Academy!
Unlike what Xu Sheng had seen before, today's Shrek Academy, both in terms of land area and teaching strength, had grown to rival that of a city!
Just as Xu Sheng was about to stride toward the western gate of Shrek Academy, Teacher Wu pursed her thin lips and spoke up to stop the former…
"Xu… Xu Sheng, wait a moment!"
Seeing this, Xu Sheng didn't ask any questions; he just calmly looked at her…
Wu Changkong took a deep breath, then took out a communication device, reached out a finger, and dialed a number…
After a few seconds, an excited female voice finally came from the other end…
"Longkong, have you finally called? Where are you now? Why did you suddenly leave the academy for so long!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Wu Changkong's complexion became incredibly complex, and he cut her off, "I'll tell you about these questions later. For now, come to the western gate of Shrek Academy to meet us!"
The woman on the other end gasped in surprise, confused, "Us… Longkong, there are other people besides you?"
Wu Changkong replied indifferently, "Hmm."
After saying that one word, Wu Changkong immediately hung up the communication device…
He then glanced sideways at Xu Sheng beside him and, seeing that the latter had no intention of asking, did not offer an explanation himself…
Soon, the woman who had been in contact with Teacher Wu arrived before them; she was also tall and stunningly beautiful!
She threw herself into Wu Changkong's arms and, with a touch of redness around her eyes, said, "Longkong, you've finally come back! It's been so long since you contacted me!"
Wu Changkong gently patted her back and whispered, "Hmm! There are outsiders here!"
Hearing this, the woman quickly wiped the corners of her eyes and extended her hand with a smile to Xu Sheng, saying, "Hello, I am a teacher at Shrek Academy, and also Wu Changkong's junior sister, Shen Yi!"
Inside, she couldn't help exclaiming, "Such a handsome man, no less impressive than my senior brother, and even with a certain natural approachability!"
Moreover, she couldn't see through his soul power rank at all!!
Upon hearing her formal self-introduction, Xu Sheng also reached out and gave her hand a light shake, smiling, "Hello, I am Xu Sheng, like Teacher Wu, I am a teacher from East Sea Academy!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi, puzzled, "East Sea Academy? What kind of third-rate academy is that, I have never heard of it?"
However, as soon as she said this, she noticed that Wu Changkong's expression beside her had darkened…
Shen Yi immediately came back to her senses, and with a tone of apology, turned to Xu Sheng, "Sorry, I… It just slipped out without thinking, a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue! Wait…"
Mid-sentence, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have heard the name Xu Sheng somewhere…
She then exclaimed, "Now I remember, are you the Xu Sheng that our academy was willing to meet any conditions to recruit?"
It was well-known that Shrek Academy took great pride; many wished to join but had no means to do so, and yet this handsome man in front of her could make the academy agree to conditions; it surely couldn't be that simple!
A small smile played on Xu Sheng's lips; he found the woman in front of him quite interesting…
"Right! A teacher from your academy visited me a short while ago. Today, I've also come for that matter, having asked Teacher Wu to accompany me!"
Teacher Wu's ice-blue eyes flickered slightly, but he said nothing further…
His willingness to accompany Xu Sheng to Shrek Academy was solely for the purpose of reviving his dear one, Long Bing!
Shen Yi nodded her head and suggested, "In that case, let's head back to the academy first!"
