On the other side, when Xu Sheng was led before a room filled with a strong aura, he pushed open the door with an indifferent expression and walked in...
Bi Ji, who was explaining things to the other ferocious beasts, was interrupted by a "creak"...
All the ferocious beasts in human form, including Di Tian, turned their gaze toward Xu Sheng as he entered...
When they clearly saw who it was, their pupils suddenly constricted...
The corners of Xu Sheng's mouth lifted slightly, "What's the matter? Surprised to see me?
Bi Ji furrowed her brow and said, "Why have you come? Shouldn't you be at Shrek Academy?"
It was because of his presence that these soul beasts were reassured about Gu Yue staying at Shrek Academy!
But now that he had come here, it was possible that Gu Yue's situation was somewhat precarious!!
Xu Sheng naturally saw what she was thinking and patiently explained, "Don't worry about your master; she's fine. Besides, I merely noticed that you were not in your original habitats, and I came to check on you!"
After he spoke, he took a seat, making himself at home...
Upon hearing this, the serious expressions on the faces of the ferocious beasts finally relaxed...
Di Tian, with a slightly grave voice, asked, "Xu Sheng, what is our master currently doing?"
Xu Sheng's dark eyes twinkled, and he said leisurely, "She's going with her companions to challenge soul masters of the same level in other cities!"
Seeing this, Di Tian nodded and did not continue to inquire...
If this man had said so, it meant that their master was very safe...
However, it was this situation that made the atmosphere in the room awkward, everyone staring blankly at each other, unsure of what to say...
In the end, it was Xu Sheng who broke the silence first, "Bi Ji, did Gu Yue instruct you to establish an army here?"
Bi Ji was startled, then quickly responded affirmatively, "Yes, right before she left, our master instructed us to establish an army in our human identity! To take in human soul masters, thereby strengthening our own forces!"
"As of now, the entire army has expanded to approximately more than eight thousand soul masters."
She did not hide any information because, before this god-like figure, it was meaningless!
If he was able to find this place, he must have been able to infer an estimate from the situation outside!
Xu Sheng propped up his chin and pondered, "More than eight thousand soul masters? Coupled with your top-tier strength, indeed you could compare to some of the forces outside of Shrek Academy!"
The only downside might be the uneven strength of the soul masters, ranging from as high as Soul Douluo to as low as Soul Elder!
The other ferocious beasts, hearing this, all showed a proud expression...
"Naturally, we would never disappoint our master in the task she has entrusted to us! We must develop the army to the extent that it would catch her eye!"
"That's right, with the boss's strength comparable to that of an Ultimate Douluo, coupled with us, as long as we do not reveal our soul beast identity, we can definitely claim a place on the Continent!"
"Not only that, our army has already negotiated with the federation and, with their provided soul tools and information, has begun to develop gradually!"
Xu Sheng smiled faintly, his thin lips curving up, "The federation? Aren't you afraid that the so-called War God Hall might send someone to infiltrate your army and spy on you?"
It was unexpected for Di Tian and the others to collaborate with the federation!
After all, the War God Hall under the federation was a vast force only slightly weaker than Shrek Academy, filled with formidable individuals!
Engaging with such a force posed a great risk of exposing Di Tian and the others' true identities!
Yet Bi Ji shook her head to interrupt, "No, according to Di Tian's deduction, the only one in the War God Hall who could see through our true forms is the strongest one among them!"
They were ferocious beasts to begin with, after so many years, their cultivation level had improved somewhat, and quite a few improvements had been made in their ability to transform!
Their concealment abilities were now indistinguishable from those of ordinary people!
Di Tian nodded affirmatively, "Hmm, the basic situation is just as Bi Ji has said. Additionally, it is precisely because of the War God Hall that our legion was able to negotiate with the federation and acquire what we wanted."
"And the price we had to pay was simple, forming an alliance with the federation!"
For their newly developing legion, it was completely advantageous without any drawbacks!
Xu Sheng took a deep look at Bi Ji, "I see, no wonder you dare to recruit Soul Masters so publicly. Coming up with this kind of strategy, you've really outdone yourself!"
Bi Ji responded somewhat flattered, "You flatter me too much! All of this is thanks to our lord's merit, I'm merely playing a small clever trick!"
...
Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy!
The dueling stage!
The middle-aged man pointed at the seven students standing by his side and introduced them to Wu Dousi and her companion, "Ladies, these are the opponents I have selected for you. How about it? Their strength should be pretty good, right?"
His words were tinged thickly with mockery!
This time, he had handpicked seven students at the Soul King realm level to face them in a duel!
As for why he hadn't chosen students at the Soul Emperor level, it was because, within their academy, Soul Emperors already had the ability to take up teaching positions!
Unlike Shrek Academy, where talents gathered, even if one achieved the cultivation level of a Soul Sage or Soul Douluo, they could still very likely be just an inner court student!
Seeing this, Wu Dousi's expression darkened, "Damn it, seven opponents at the Soul King realm. Has the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy really stooped so low in order to make us look bad?"
With just the two of them, the situation didn't look good!
Yuanen Yehui glanced at her and said indifferently, "They're just seven weaklings at the Soul King realm. You're not scared, are you?"
She had thought that the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy would send out Soul Sages, or even students at the Soul Douluo level!
She never expected that it would only be seven Soul Kings, barely passable in her eyes. Now it seemed like they had been overestimated!
Wu Dousi rolled her eyes, said somewhat speechlessly, "At a time like this, why are you still bragging? Don't forget, no matter how strong we are, there are only two of us!"
Yuanen Yehui spoke dismissively, "Bragging? I'm merely stating the facts"
The middle-aged man, feeling insulted, barely contained his anger, "What a clever little girl, I hope you can be as effortlessly skilled in the duel as you are now!"
The other students, hearing this, all showed malevolent expressions, "Teacher Liu, rest assured, we will certainly treat them well!"
"Although seven against two is a bit unethical, since the opponents are students from Shrek Academy, it doesn't matter!"
"Finally, the day has come when we can crush the proud students of Shrek Academy beneath our feet!"
"Defeating them with so many junior brothers and sisters watching, just thinking about it is exciting!"
These words pleased the middle-aged man, who urged, "Alright, enough talk, get up on the stage!"
With that, the seven students from the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy and the two from Shrek Academy all stepped onto the dueling stage!
