A Strange Transformation

A strange feeling gripped everyone's hearts, and they stopped what they were doing. The music was the only sound left in the noisy banquet hall.

As they looked around, they saw the hall transform before their eyes. It was as if someone was painting in the air, changing everything to a different style. A colorful and harmonious fairy tale style.

The transformation was gradual. It started from the center of the ceiling and spread to the edges. When it reached the floor, everything it touched changed along with it.

Not only the hall, but also the people's clothes changed as the transformation reached their feet. Some went from formal attire to guard uniforms, and some became more splendid.

During the whole process, everyone except Anping and Gu Yuena was frozen, holding their previous poses.

Anping and Gu Yuena exchanged a glance, and agreed to use their space techniques to escape. But when the silver light flashed, they found themselves still in the same place.

When the transformation reached their feet, their clothes also changed.

Gu Yuena's elegant long dress with white silver edges became more intricate, and a small silver crown appeared on her head. The crown was made of two new dragons spreading their wings.

Anping was still dressed in black, but with more silver patterns than before, making him look mysterious.

As the music ended, the hall returned to its normal style, and the frozen crowd came to life.

The hall erupted in commotion. The people there were all soul masters, some of them senior ones, but the scene they witnessed was beyond their comprehension.

Xu Xiaoyan, who was standing next to Gu Yuena, lowered her head and looked at the princess dress on her body. She hugged Gu Yuena's arm and said in a lost voice: "Sister Nana, do you know what's going on?"

Gu Yuena shook her head slightly, saying she didn't know. When the transformation happened, she had used her mental power to investigate, but found nothing. Everything seemed normal.

But she did notice something. When the transformation happened, she felt familiar fluctuations in Anping's body. They were the same as the book that brought Anping to this world.

She believed that Anping could feel it too, and that it was their secret, so she didn't say anything.

Anping felt a sense of familiarity when he looked at the scene, but he couldn't recall it. He muttered in a low voice: "I feel like I've seen this kind of scene somewhere before."

Hearing Anping's words, Gu Yuena looked carefully, and thought for a moment. She said: "You know, I feel the same way, but we've never seen such changes before."

Sima Lanxiao, the person in charge of the organizer, picked up the microphone and said: "Please be quiet, panic won't solve anything. For your safety, please stay in the hall and don't wander around."

The people there were all soul masters. They had been startled by the sudden scene, but they soon regained their composure. Under Sima Lanxiao's words, they calmed down. After all, there were many titled Douluo there. If they couldn't handle it, panicking would be useless.

Sima Lanxiao walked towards the judges' seat, where Cai Yue'er, the highest-ranking judge, was waiting. He said, "Your Majesty, Silver Moon Crown, have you discovered anything?"

Cai Yue'er looked like an old witch in her black robe and pointed hat. But no one cared about the clothes at that moment. They were all focused on the mutation.

Cai Yue'er shook her head slightly and said, "I don't see anything wrong. Everything seems real, whether it's the hall or the clothes, whether we use mental power or soul power."

"I don't think even Yun Ming can do this. If someone wants to harm us, no one on this ship can stop them."

"So I think this person didn't mean to hurt us. Otherwise, we'd all be dead by now. I just don't know what their real purpose is."

Sima Lanxiao frowned and murmured, "Could this person be here or in the hall? What do they want to do?"

Everyone was lost in thought. Cai Yue'er suddenly remembered Anping and Gu Yuena. Wu Zhangkong had told her that the phenomena in Skysea City were probably related to them.

She couldn't help but wonder if they had something to do with this change. But she was unsure. They were too young to do something like this.

Besides, Yun Ming and Yali had warned her not to mess with them. She hesitated to speak up.

On Shrek's side, Wu Zhangkong, dressed as a knight, moved his students away from the crowd. He looked serious and alert, like a real knight.

Xie Xie relaxed after the initial panic. He looked at Tang Wulin, who wore a navy blue and gold-patterned outfit. He said, "Wulin, you look handsome. You're more suited for a dance than before."

Tang Wulin shook his head helplessly. He said, "This is not the time for jokes. We need to figure out how to solve this problem."

Xie Xie shrugged. He said, "What can we do? If someone really wants to harm us, who can stop them? Did you see that even Teacher Cai and the others changed their clothes?"

"Your classmate is right. I'll do my best to protect you." Tang Wulin heard Tang San's voice in his mind.

He asked eagerly, "Do you know what happened?"
