Seeing the Shrek Seven Monsters and the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion return to the defensive line, the War God, with a face full of joy, said, "Has the Abyssal Emperor already been dealt with?"
The other powerhouses also revealed excited expressions, as if they were already prepared to embrace the victory of this battle!
But to their surprise, Elder Ya'li shook her head, "The Abyssal Emperor hasn't been eliminated, he has just temporarily disappeared!"
"We don't know how long it will be before he reappears, of course, he might not appear at all!"
All of this now depended on Elder Xu!
The former was stunned, his face full of confusion as he said, "Elder Ya'li, what do you mean by that?"
He was completely in the dark, having no idea if the Abyssal Emperor had really been dealt with or not!
Seeing this, Cai Yue'er intervened, "There's no time to explain now, immediately organize all Soul Masters to counter-attack the Abyssal Creature Army!"
It was best to keep Xu Sheng's true identity a secret!
Tang Wulin and the others seemed to understand her intention and did not reveal the truth...
Although the War God was a bit bewildered, he still nodded and said, "Yes, I will notify all the Soul Masters in the defense line to launch a counterattack against the Abyssal Creature Army!"
Soon after, the Soul Masters within the entire defensive line, mistaking the Abyssal Emperor for dead, shifted from their previous demoralized state and instantly suppressed the Abyssal Creature Army!
In just a matter of minutes, they pushed the frontline forward by hundreds of meters...
Lan Mu Zi, looking at the significantly reduced number of abyssal creatures, said nervously, "As long as Elder Xu can hold off the Abyssal Emperor, this battle will be our victory!"
Tang Yin Meng affirmed, "Yes, although we were prepared to die in this war, it's still better to survive, both for the Academy and for ourselves!"
Cai Yue'er didn't speak but silently thought, "Yes, everyone from Shrek Academy will survive!"
...
As the extremely chaotic light dissipated, Xu Sheng's consciousness gradually returned, and he slowly opened his dark pupils...
But before he could make a move, a very familiar voice sounded beside him...
"Brother Sheng, it's already so late, why are you still asleep?"
In an instant, he was abruptly awakened and immediately got up to look around...
What met his eyes was indeed Tang San!!
However, it was the young and inexperienced Tang San from his youth!!
Unconsciously, his throat felt somewhat choked up, "Tang... Tang San!"
Tang San looked puzzled, "Brother Sheng, are you alright? Why do you seem so surprised?"
After shaking his head, Xu Sheng decisively stood up from the bed and walked over to the huge mirror...
In the mirror, a boy of only seven or eight years old appeared!
He immediately confirmed, "I never expected that the Abyssal Emperor's ability would actually take me back tens of thousands of years!!"
Wait a minute...
If he had gone back to a timeline from tens of thousands of years ago, where was the Abyssal Emperor now?
Where could he be at this moment?
A huge question filled his heart...
Tang San beside him rolled his eyes, "Brother Sheng, why are you so vain!"
"If you're free today, come chop wood with me! Don't just laze around in your room all the time!"
Xu Sheng ignored this comment and asked back, "Xiaosan, do you remember which day is the day of Martial Soul Awakening?"
Tang San hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Martial Soul Awakening? I remember Chief Jack saying it's the day after tomorrow, we will have Soul Masters from the Martial Soul Hall come to awaken us!"
As he said this, his expression clearly became very excited...
Xu Sheng pondered, "The day after tomorrow, which means I haven't experienced Martial Soul Awakening yet, so my Soul Power should also..."
He tried to release his Martial Soul, but there was no change...
He couldn't even sense a trace of Soul Power...
Seeing this, Tang San tried to cajole him, "Brother Sheng, why the long face? If you don't want to go, then forget it, I can go alone!"
Xu Sheng came back to his senses, smiled, and said, "No, Xiaosan, I'll go with you. It's a good opportunity; there are some things I need to ask Uncle about!"
He still felt sorry about having once killed Tang Hao!
But there was nothing he could do about it, as he had interfered with the plans of Martial Soul Hall!
Tang San, surprised, said, "Brother Sheng, haven't you always been the least willing to contact my dad? Why today..."
This Brother Sheng was too strange!
Xu Sheng grabbed him and interrupted, "Stop asking so many questions; let's go!"
...
Only when the sun set did the two finish chopping the wood. Xu Sheng found an excuse and went to Tang San's house...
Watching Tang San carefully distill the liquor before glancing over at Xu Sheng sitting not far away, "Brother Sheng, you're really strange today. You're never this diligent on normal days!"
Nothing like the indolent Brother Sheng in memory!
Seeing this, Xu Sheng casually brushed it off, "Maybe I've just realized my conscience?"
Tang San took it as just that and thought no more of it...
Finally, several hours later, Tang Hao, reeking of sweat, pushed open the door heavily and walked in...
Tang San's face lit up with joy, "Dad, you're back!"
But Tang Hao only glanced at him and grunted indifferently...
He then went over, picked up the liquor that had been prepared, and downed it...
However, when his eyes briefly caught Xu Sheng in the corner, he coldly said, "Xiaosan, what's he doing here?"
Tang San hurriedly explained, "Dad, Brother Sheng is here specifically to see you!"
He was also curious about what Xu Sheng wanted with his father; could it be about forging iron?
After all, that seemed like the only skill the former had!
Tang Hao appeared surprised, then emotionlessly said, "Looking for me? I have nothing to say to him!"
Just a brat, what could he possibly want with him?
A waste of time!
But Xu Sheng was staring fixedly at Tang Hao and said, one word at a time, "Uncle Hao, there's something I need to discuss with you alone!"
He paused, then turned to Tang San, "Xiaosan, could you leave us for a moment?"
Tang San was taken aback and instinctively looked towards Tang Hao, "Dad, I..."
Tang Hao's eyes flickered, then he waved his hand, "Alright, Xiaosan, step out for a while. I want to see what this guy has to say to me!"
He then turned ferociously to Xu Sheng, "If it's some irrelevant nonsense, don't blame me for throwing you out!"
Tang San reminded Xu Sheng with a look and then turned to leave...
When the space was left with only Tang Hao and Xu Sheng, the former said coldly, "Now, you can talk!"
Only then did Xu Sheng speak seriously, "Uncle Hao, perhaps you won't understand if I say it now"
"But I have come back from the future!"
After hearing this, Tang Hao reacted as if insulted, and scolded, "Are you joking with me? I do not have the spare time to indulge in such nonsense with you!"
Life was already tiring enough for him as it was!
After saying that, he stood up abruptly, ready to return to his room...
But the words that Xu Sheng, with his back turned to him, let slip from his mouth...
Made Tang Hao stop in his tracks, his entire body trembling...
