Chapter 327 Arrival at Maple Leaf City_1
Everyone, including Yan Shaozhe, turned their gaze toward the source of the sound...
The newcomer was none other than Wang Dong, who had rushed over with the help of the Goddess of Light Butterfly. She hurriedly approached...
Her eyes fell on Huo Yuhao and Qian Yu as she called out, "Yuhao! Qian Yu!"
Huo Yuhao looked at her with surprise, "Wang Dong?"
When he had left, Wang Dong had still been asleep, so he didn't disturb him, yet she had still followed him...
Qian Yu's gaze lingered on Wang Dong who had arrived, remaining silent without a word...
Yan Shaozhe looked at the beautiful wings behind Wang Dong, surprised, "Is this... the Goddess of Light Butterfly? Are you Wang Dong?"
After all, within Shrek Academy, there was but one boy named Wang Dong who possessed it...
Wang Dong nodded and said, "Yes! Dean Fan, and President Yan, may I have a moment to speak with them?"
Yan Shaozhe smiled and replied, "Alright then, Huo Yuhao, and Qian Yu, I'll wait for you outside"
Having said that, he then left the testing area...
Fan Yu stretched lazily, "You guys chat, I'll go back to my research!" With those words, he too slowly left the spot...
It was then that Huo Yuhao turned to Wang Dong teasingly, "Wang Dong, now that we're alone, what did you want to say?"
Wang Dong's gaze shifted between the faces of Huo Yuhao and Qian Yu, her eyes reddening slightly as she spoke softly, "I just... just wanted to take one last look at you before you leave!"
The departure of Huo Yuhao and Qian Yu meant that they would be apart for three years, and even coming from the Hao Tian Clan, he found it hard to bear the separation!
Huo Yuhao said with a smile, "Wang Dong, you wouldn't happen to miss us, would you?"
The exposed Wang Dong retorted defiantly, "Who's going to miss you! Love to leave or not!"
Seeing the exchange between the two, Qian Yu said indifferently, "If there's nothing else, I should be going."
After speaking, he decisively walked past them and out...
Wang Dong's pink-purple eyes rippled slightly as she called out, "Qian Yu!"
However, those two words only caused Qian Yu's strides to pause for a second before he continued on...
Huo Yuhao watched Qian Yu's retreating figure and said to Wang Dong, "Then I'm leaving too, Wang Dong. Take care of yourself, and don't let your soul power rank fall too far behind me!"
Wang Dong frowned and said, "Hmm... right, Yuhao, remember to be careful of Qian Yu! He might..."
Huo Yuhao's lips curled slightly, "Don't worry, I'm not so easily defeated!"
The Skydream Ice Silkworm sneered in his mind, "Not so easily, I was actually planning on not letting you go this time, since that guy might make a move on you!"
The Ice Emperor also chimed in, "That's right, maybe you should just give up! If he makes a move, you have no chance of winning!"
Huo Yuhao didn't respond to the two voices in his mind but said to Wang Dong instead, "I'm off, Wang Dong."
Wang Dong watched Huo Yuhao's departing figure, the concern in her voice apparent, "Take care..."
Hopefully, Qian Yu wouldn't make a move on Yuhao...
…
Yan Shaozhe, who was waiting outside, saw the two of them come out and said, "Ready? Then let's go!"
Afterward, Yan Shaozhe took hold of Huo Yuhao, and together with Qian Yu, they hurried off at a rapid pace...
The trio made a beeline from Shrek Academy toward the Sun-Moon Empire, and due to the long distance, it took them three to four hours to successfully reach Maple Leaf City!
Maple Leaf City was a frontier metropolis and an important trade city of the Sky Soul Empire...
Then, Yan Shaozhe led Qian Yu and Huo Yuhao to Maple Leaf Square...
Huo Yuhao looked around, puzzled, "President Yan, is this where we're meeting up?"
Yan Shaozhe nodded, "Yes! Let's wait here for a while, that old fellow will come when he notices us!"
The so-called guy was naturally the Hongchen Hall Master, Mirror Dust...
He was also someone who truly annoyed him!
Because this time allowing Qian Yu and Huo Yuhao to study in the Sun-Moon Empire, even though it was said to be an exchange, it was actually one-sided, and they would inevitably be met with cold stares...
Qian Yu released his Divine Power, spreading it continuously around Maple Leaf City...
He frowned slightly and said, "Such a strong soul tool presence, completely different from Shrek Academy!"
Yan Shaozhe seemed to recall something, turned his head to Qian Yu, and said gravely, "Qian Yu, you must absolutely not reveal your Martial Soul or your soul power rank, lest they stop at nothing to make a move against you!"
If they knew that not only was Qian Yu extremely talented in soul tools, but also a top-tier genius in Martial Soul, it could likely lead the people of the Sun-Moon Empire to stop at nothing to eliminate Qian Yu!
Qian Yu said coldly, "I know."
As he finished speaking, Yan Shaozhe said seriously, "They're here!"
Walking on a flying soul device, Mirror Dust descended slowly, "President Yan, it's been a long time!"
Yan Shaozhe also smiled, "Indeed, it has been a long time! Hall Master Hongchen."
In his heart, Yan Shaozhe was shocked, "A flying soul device? And so fast at that! Elder Mu was right about the importance of developing soul tools extensively!"
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao beside him took a deep breath...
The flying soul device he just saw had made a huge impression on him; its speed and altitude were far superior to those of Shrek Academy's devices!
Qian Yu watched Mirror Dust with an icy gaze...
Feeling his stare, Mirror Dust suddenly felt a chill in his heart...
Mirror Dust said warily, "Is it just my imagination? This kid..."
Yan Shaozhe said indifferently, "These are the two students that our Shrek Academy has sent to your esteemed institution for exchange studies, Huo Yuhao, an outer courtyard student and a three-ringed soul engineer, and Qian Yu, an outer courtyard student and an eighth-level soul master!"
He deliberately added the words 'outer courtyard student', as he wanted to see Mirror Dust's reaction!
Mirror Dust, who had been disdainful at heart, suddenly exclaimed in shock after hearing this, "What?? An eighth-level soul master??"
How could this be possible??
How could Shrek Academy train such a terrifying student?
He had been to Shrek Academy before and knew that the outer courtyard had six grades, and the highest grade seniors were at most seventeen years old!
In other words, he was an eighth-level soul master before the age of seventeen!
How could one not be astonished!
Afterward, he looked eagerly towards the right upper corner of the garments of Qian Yu and Huo Yuhao...
When he saw Huo Yuhao's rank as a three-ringed soul engineer, he disregarded him and then stared intently at Qian Yu...
This kid could perhaps be persuaded to join my Mingde Hall!
Mirror Dust suppressed his inner thoughts and sighed to Yan Shaozhe, "Your academy is truly remarkable, to be able to cultivate such a young student who has achievements in soul tools!"
Yan Shaozhe smiled and said, "Hall Master Hongchen is too kind. I'll leave those two students in your hands, then. I hope that in three years' time, they will have accomplished something in your institution!"
Mirror Dust replied with a complex tone, "Certainly!"
Later, after Yan Shaozhe had left, Mirror Dust's gaze turned to Qian Yu and Huo Yuhao...
He began softly, "Two students, do not resist..."
Behind him, the simple flying soul device emitted a golden light, enveloping both Qian Yu and Huo Yuhao...
The next moment, the bodies of the three of them flew quickly towards the center of the Sun-Moon Empire...
