In an instant, all the academy teachers' faces became considerably graver...
"With so many evil Soul Masters sent by the Holy Spirit Cult, can we really hold them off?"
"It's difficult! Although we have the soul defensive barrier, if those evil Soul Masters continue to attack, it will be destroyed sooner or later!"
"Indeed, currently, the evil Soul Masters from the Holy Spirit Cult are essentially equipped with soul weapons, which are not that easy to deal with!"
If the inner court students were here, they could have helped, but now, besides these academy teachers, there were only the lower grade students from the outer court left!
To go to battle with the Holy Spirit Cult's evil Soul Masters would just be sending them to their deaths!
Seeing this, Shen Yi interrupted, "Elders, there's no need to panic. Unless those evil Soul Masters use high-level fixed soul cannonballs, it would take them at least several hours to destroy the protective barrier!"
"If we request support from the federation during this time, it should be possible to hold on!"
As soon as these words were out, the academy teachers had a sudden realization...
One of the older teachers said sternly, "Dean Shen is right, I'll request support from the Federation and Spirit Pagoda and other forces right now!"
No sooner had he spoken than he opened the communicator and dialed the Federation...
At the same time, Teacher Lin, who was responsible for guiding the lower grade students, also quickly arrived and said to Shen Yi, "Dean Shen, all the children have entered the Sea God's Pavilion!"
Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Good, if anything unexpected happens, we won't have any worries behind us!"
The safety of the students had always been the most important thing!
...
At this moment, outside the gates of Shrek Academy!
The Darkness Phoenix glanced at the evil Soul Masters who had completely surrounded the area and said coldly, "All evil Soul Masters, use your soul weapons to attack the soul defensive barrier right now!"
The evil Soul Masters sneered a few times and pulled out various soul weapons from their storage soul tools!
After locking onto the soul barrier in front of them, they decisively pressed the button...
In an instant, a sky full of soul cannonballs soared into the sky, plummeting straight down...
"Boom boom boom!!"
The deafening sounds of explosions continued to ring out, releasing such powerful energy that the whole ground trembled...
However, after more than ten minutes of constant assault...
All attacks were successfully warded off by the soul Defensive Barrier, completely unable to penetrate into the academy...
The Dark Bell retracted her gaze and smacked her lips, "As expected of a ninth-grade defensive soul guidance barrier, it doesn't budge even under such intense bombardment, if only we had God-Slaying level fixed soul cannonballs!"
Unfortunately, ever since the federation suffered a setback, they had hidden away the God-Slaying level fixed soul cannon leaving the Holy Spirit Cult unable to steal it even if they planted spies inside!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have needed to lead the evil Soul Masters herself to launch an attack!
Thinking this, her beautiful eyes flashed coldly, the bell behind her emitting a dark aura slowly emerged...
The soul ring at her feet began to flicker...
These dark bells collided with each other, producing a clear sound and sending ripples toward the soul defensive barrier...
After the hit, it just dimmed a bit with no sign of breaking...
Knowing her attack was ineffective, the Dark Bell chose to fold her arms and coldly observe from the side...
After all, with the interference device activated, no one inside Shrek Academy could contact the outside world!
The breach of the soul barrier was only a matter of time!!
...
As expected, the teacher responsible for contacting the Federation found out that the communicator couldn't pick up any signal...
The teacher said anxiously, "Dean Shen, it seems the signal of the communicator has been intercepted, we can't get in touch with the federation!!"
For them, this was undoubtedly a huge piece of bad news!
Although Shen Yi already had a hunch, she still forced herself to say, "Try again!"
The teacher did not argue, and continued to attempt to contact the federation...
In the end, she could only shake her head in disappointment...
"Dean Shen, it's still no good. I'm afraid it's the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters causing the trouble. They have likely placed interference devices outside the academy to prevent us from contacting the outside world!"
The other teachers clenched their fists and cursed, "Damn it! These evil Soul Masters really stop at nothing to achieve their goals!!"
"To cover the entire Shrek Academy, the interference devices prepared by the Holy Spirit Cult must be numerous! Moreover, they were probably placed in advance!"
"Without the ability to contact the federation, we won't be able to get reinforcements. The situation doesn't look good."
Suddenly, one of the female teachers pointed at the soul barrier in the sky and exclaimed, "Look carefully, everyone! The Soul Defense Barrier is holding back all attacks, but its intensity has clearly dimmed a lot compared to before!"
"At this rate, I'm afraid it won't last even two hours!!"
Shen Yi pursed her lips, her heart sinking to the bottom of the valley...
The Holy Spirit Cult had extinguished their last glimmer of hope!
Now, Shrek Academy was completely trapped in a hopeless situation!
After a few seconds of silence, she looked at all the teachers present with a complex gaze...
"All teachers, are you afraid of death? If you run away, there might be a slim chance..."
Before she could finish, the teachers decisively rejected the notion!
"Dean Shen, what are you talking about! We are teachers of the academy, how could we possibly do something as despicable as abandoning our comrades!"
"That's right, if we run away, what will happen to the lower-grade students? The Evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult have surely surrounded both the inner and outer courts!"
"To abandon the children and flee by ourselves, even if we were to survive, we could never hold our heads up high for the rest of our lives. I simply couldn't do it!"
"Anyone who dares to run away is a coward!!"
"Dean Shen, even though you are the dean of the outer court, please don't doubt the conviction of us academy teachers! This place is equally worth protecting with our lives, and we will not allow evil Soul Masters to run rampant!!"
Shen Yi paused, "Sorry, I spoke out of turn just now, I should not have said something so irresponsible!"
"The battle has not even started yet, and it's not yet certain who will win or lose!"
In this final moment, seeing all the teachers united as one against a formidable enemy, even death might not seem so terrible!
...
Federation!
The federation member who first detected the signal immediately chose to report to the higher-ups!
He looked at the council members present and said seriously, "Reporting to all council members, just now, we have received some kind of signal!"
One of the council members furrowed his brow and asked, "Can you ascertain the source?"
The federation member shook his head, "It's impossible to determine the signal's location. Based on analysis, it's very likely that it has been interfered with!"
The rest of the council members pondered, "That's odd, who would send a communication signal to the federation?"
"I think it might be a trick by the evil Soul Masters to attract our attention. We should just ignore it!"
"Indeed, that's possible. But we can't rule out a distress signal from some force..."
