After a long pause, Shen Yi finally plucked up the courage and said, "Senior brother, how can we know if we don't try?"
She was aware that Xu Sheng's true identity must be extraordinary, or he wouldn't command such respect from the other Elders of the Sea God Pavilion!
But even so, she didn't want to give up in her heart!
Because, during the time she had spent at Shrek Academy, she had fallen deeply in love with him!
After hearing her response, Wu Changkong's ice-blue eyes stared intently at her earnest gaze and he sighed, "Is that so... It seems you've made up your mind. Then, as your senior brother, I wish you achieve your heart's desire soon."
She hoped it would be so...
The deeper the obsession, the greater the hurt when rejection came!
Only then did Shen Yi wipe the corner of her eye and resume smiling, "Mhm, thank you, senior brother! I will try my best!"
Wu Changkong nodded and added, "By the way, Tian Bing asked you to find her, saying she wants to catch up with you!"
Shen Yi was stunned and exclaimed in surprise, "Eh? To catch up, that's really rare. But senior brother, you wouldn't be jealous, would you?"
She knew full well how deeply her senior brother felt for Tian Bing!
As she spoke, Wu Changkong's cheeks reddened with embarrassment, yet he still maintained a stern face and said, "Stop the nonsense and hurry over!"
He did feel a twinge of jealousy then, but thinking that Shen Yi was a woman, he let go of his concerns!
Instantly seeing through his expression, Shen Yi covered her mouth and laughed lightly, "Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be jealous, senior brother!"
Wu Changkong narrowed his eyes and intensified his tone, "Shen Yi!!"
Shen Yi shrugged her shoulders and waved her hand, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore, senior brother. I'll go now!"
Watching her receding figure, Wu Changkong shook his head and said, "Seriously, after so many years, she hasn't changed a bit!"
But after speaking, the corners of his mouth unknowingly curled up...
Perhaps it was precisely for this reason that their bond as fellow disciples had lasted until now!
…
Yuanen Yehui and Wu Dousi, accompanied by a middle-aged man, entered the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy and immediately began to look around...
While the academy couldn't compare with Shrek Academy, it was still a standout among many others!
"Who is that? Why is Teacher Liu personally bringing them into the academy?"
"Such beautiful girls, could it be that they're transferring to our academy? If that's the case, that would be fantastic!"
"Dream on, even if they did transfer to our academy, how could they possibly take a fancy to you!"
"Either way, these two girls are much easier on the eyes than the female students at our academy!"
"That's true, the female students at our academy are all at the level of dinosaurs, mainly because we've come close to extinction a few times, which led to poor student quality!"
While they were discussing, the middle-aged man turned back around and addressed Yuanen Yehui and her companion, "To the two students from Shrek Academy, welcome to the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy!"
Yuanen Yehui replied calmly, "Thank... thank you."
She felt that something was off. The middle-aged man's tone seemed a bit sarcastic!
Wu Dousi also seemed to sense this and her brows couldn't help but furrow...
The middle-aged man gave a slight smile and continued, "I suppose you've come looking for sparring partners?"
Seeing this, Yuanen Yehui nodded, "Yes!"
At the same time, a sigh of relief quietly escaped from the depths of his heart!
He had thought that the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy harbored great animosity towards Shrek Academy, but it seemed it was not as exaggerated as the rumors suggested!
A cold glint flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, "The students of Shrek Academy have always been very strong; this is something every Soul Master knows. Therefore, our Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy might not have opponents of the same rank to match you!"
After a pause, he spoke again, "So, how about sending out a team to be your opponents?"
Wu Dousi's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she replied with an icy tone, "Elder, what do you mean by this?"
It was at this moment that the middle-aged man revealed a cold sneer, "What do I mean? Don't you know already?"
Now that they had entered the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy, how could they let them leave without taking the opportunity to crush their pride!
It wasn't just him; the surrounding students of the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy also cast hostile glances toward them...
Clearly, the thoughts of these students had been brainwashed by the higher-ups of the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy to harbor immense animosity towards Shrek Academy!
Wu Dousi decisively rejected the offer, "Forget it. Since your academy does not have suitable opponents, we'd better leave now!"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man suddenly burst into laughter, "Leave? Hahaha, my dear girl, don't accuse me of bullying you. If you don't complete this sparring match today, neither of you can even dream of leaving!"
In an instant, an immense soul power burst forth from his body, clearly reaching the Soul Douluo level!!
At this moment, Wu Dousi finally understood why this middle-aged man had brought them into the academy!
It was obvious that he intended to force them into an unfair team battle against the students of the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy!
To take the opportunity to humiliate Shrek Academy!!
Thinking of this, she shouted angrily, "How dare you do this, if it were discovered by..."
Before Wu Dousi could finish, Yuanen Yehui, who was beside her, cut her off and said in a cold voice, "Fine. We accept this challenge!"
She was very confident in her abilities, but the man before them was of the Soul Douluo level. Trying to escape from him would be nothing short of a fool's dream!
Only then did the middle-aged man retract his oppressive aura, "Very well, worthy of being students from Shrek Academy. Now, follow me to the combat arena!"
Hmph, this time I will ensure that all teachers and students come to watch. These two young ladies can look forward to making fools of themselves in front of thousands of people!
…
Meanwhile, Xu Sheng, who had already sensed the presence of creatures like Di Tian and other ferocious beasts, immediately headed towards their location...
However, upon arriving, the scene before him elicited a look of surprise...
"Is this... a Soul Master Legion?"
Before him, there were already thousands of Soul Masters, with soul power ranks generally ranging from Soul Honor to Soul Emperor!
Even by the standards of the entire Continent, this was a significant force!
But to think that creatures like Di Tian, with their level of intelligence, would consider establishing an army in the guise of humans?
Could it have been Gu Yue's idea?
The man in charge of recruiting Soul Masters was fervently recruiting, declaring, "Dear Soul Masters who have come here, do not pass by! Our Legion is currently expanding its scale, and anyone with a soul power rank of Soul Honor or above can join us as a priority!"
"Moreover, I promise here that our Legion offers excellent conditions, with the presence of Hyper Douluo and Ultimate Douluo level powerhouses! Any Soul Masters interested in joining, please come to me to register quickly."
