Xu Sheng's eyes revealed a few strands of complexity, "Two hundred-thousand-year soul rings, can you really bear that?"
Yuanen Yehui's cheeks became even more determined as she nodded, "I can!"
Since the academy had placed its hopes for the inner court upon her, no matter what dangers she faced, she had to strive for them!
Having received her answer, Xu Sheng still reminded her, "But facing a hundred-thousand-year soul beast on your own, your chances of winning are slim. If you lose, you might very well lose your life!"
Even though Yuanen Yehui already possessed one hundred-thousand-year soul ring, this alone was far from enough to confront a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!
After all, even Title Douluo level powerhouses were not a match for a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!
Yuanen Yehui showed a radiant smile, "Thank you for the reminder, Teacher Xu, but I don't want to give up!"
If she were to obtain a hundred-thousand-year soul ring for her sixth soul ring, her strength would skyrocket without a doubt, making her the strongest amongst the Shrek Academy Inner Court students!
After a few seconds of silence, Xu Sheng could only agree, "Alright, first consider how you will deal with the hundred-thousand-year soul beast, then come back to me!"
Since Yuanen Yehui was even prepared to face death for a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, he would not refuse her!
After all, it was her choice!
Upon hearing this, Yuanen Yehui earnestly said, "Thank you, Teacher Xu! Then I will take my leave now!"
At the same time she finished speaking, she clenched her fist tightly...
This time, for her, it was either a phoenix rising from the ashes or
She must succeed!!
As he watched Yuanen Yehui turn and leave, Xu Sheng couldn't help but sigh, "You could wait until you reach Soul Emperor before seeking a hundred-thousand-year soul ring!"
Just then, Yun Ming, who had somehow arrived behind Xu Sheng in the attic, said in a grave tone, "Elder Xu, are you really planning to let Yuanen go? With Ye Hui's strength, facing a hundred-thousand-year soul beast is tantamount to courting death!"
The previous conversation hadn't been blocked by a Shielding Type Soul Guidance Device, so he had heard everything very clearly...
Xu Sheng didn't answer but retorted, "It's her own choice, and besides, Pavilion Master, I can't always be helping her, can I?"
Yun Ming was taken aback, at a loss for a rebuttal...
Finally, he managed to say, "Then please, Elder Xu, ensure her safety in times of crisis."
Yuanen Yehui's existence was extremely important to Shrek Academy!
If she were to die like that, it would be a senseless sacrifice...
...
Meanwhile, lying in bed, Gu Yue suddenly opened her beautiful eyes, glancing at Xu Xiaoyan who was already asleep beside her...
After getting up, she left the dormitory and stepped outside to dial her communicator...
And the person she was contacting was naturally Di Tian!
As soon as the connection was made, an exceedingly eager voice came through, "Master, it's been a long time since you contacted me!"
Gu Yue nodded slightly and asked in a soft voice, "Hmm, I recently went to Xingluo Land to attend an exchange competition, and there wasn't a suitable opportunity."
After pausing for a moment, she continued, "Di Tian, how is the legion's current situation?"
Di Tian immediately responded, "The legion is developing in a good direction. The evil Soul Masters of the corrosion legion have already withdrawn when Shrek Academy and the major powers rounded up the Holy Spirit Cult!"
"As for the number of Soul Masters, we are already close to six thousand. Apart from monoliths like Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda, we should have the strength to hold our own against any other power!"
Gu Yue pursed her thin lips, musing, "Is that so... But this is still far from enough. If we want to rapidly increase the legion's strength, perhaps we'll have to start with things like Battle Armor and Mechas."
"However... getting a hold of these things is still a bit tricky!"
But while she was contemplating, a gleam of brilliance burst from her beautiful eyes, "Wait, I think I have an idea..."
A puzzled Di Tian inquired, "My Lord, have you thought of a solution?"
Gu Yue affirmed, "Yes, there might be one person who can help us, the President of the Blacksmith Association, Zhen Hua!"
Since that time she had left the Blacksmith Association, she had actually forgotten about it!
Di Tian's tone grew heavier, "I have heard of this Zhen Hua from Bi Ji. He also has a great reputation in Soul Land, but with only your identity as a Shrek Outer Court student, my Lord, he should have no reason to lend a hand."
The Blacksmith Association, perhaps not as colossal as forces like the Spirit Pagoda, was absolutely an entity that every power courted!
Once allied, it would bring considerable benefits!
Gu Yue's lips curved into an arc, "No... he will! As for why, there's no need for you to know!"
The baffled Di Tian did not press further, "I understand, my Lord. So, does our legion need to continue..."
It seemed that Gu Yue's voice had grown a bit louder, causing Xu Xiaoyan, who was not far away, to be woken up. She rubbed her eyes in a daze and said, "Gu Yue, what are you murmuring about all alone in the dead of night??"
Gu Yue glanced at Xu Xiaoyan and hastily said, "Let's leave it at that for now. We can talk about those things later."
After disconnecting the communication, she casually explained to Xu Xiaoyan, "It's nothing, just getting in touch with a friend!"
Xu Xiaoyan, as if in deep thought, said, "I see. I thought it might be Wulin calling you."
Gu Yue, not understanding for a moment, asked, "Wulin? Why would he call me?"
Xu Xiaoyan blinked her beautiful eyes and giggled, "Of course, it's to share intimate thoughts under this beautiful night sky and talk of romance and love!"
Gu Yue helplessly said, "You're overthinking it, my relationship with Wulin isn't like that, it's just purely..."
Suddenly, four words uncontrollably slipped from her lips, "liking him very much!"
Upon hearing these words, Xu Xiaoyan's eyes widened in surprise, "Gu Yue, so this is what's really in your heart!"
Gu Yue's cheeks instantly flushed hot, and she frantically said, "No... it's not what you think, just now... I... wasn't"
Xu Xiaoyan gave a thumbs-up and patted her own chest, "Don't worry, Gu Yue, I won't tell Wulin!"
Knowing that the more she tried to clarify the worse it would get, Gu Yue simply chose silence...
Her other personality had chosen just this moment to cause trouble, as if she didn't already have enough on her plate?"
...
The next day!
The three Hall Masters of the Tang Sect gathered all the Tang Sect disciples at Shrek square...
Zhao Song, the Power Hall Master leading the group, scanned the crowd and then announced loudly, "Disciples of Tang Sect, today, I will announce something to you all."
"That is, the new location for our Tang Sect has been found, and we are currently planning the reconstruction. I believe it won't be long before we can rebuild the Tang Sect!"
"Of course, all of this wouldn't be possible without the support from Shrek Academy. Otherwise, the rebuilding of the Tang Sect would have to be postponed indefinitely!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the Tang Sect disciples all showed joy...
"That's great! Is our Tang Sect finally going to be rebuilt?"
"Shrek Academy truly is the force with the closest relationship to our Tang Sect, this is so touching!"
"That's right, that's right, although studying at Shrek Academy is also good, there's always a feeling of being dependent upon others!"
"Tang Sect!! Tang Sect!! Tang Sect!!"
