Tang Wulin had lost the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, but he had awakened his twin martial souls. One of them was the continent's most formidable weapon, the Clear Sky Hammer. And it was no ordinary Clear Sky Hammer, but a more powerful version.
With Ah Yin's help, he had also awakened the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Spirit, and his level had soared to the Soul King realm. The other members of Shrek's Seven Monsters had not broken through to become Soul Kings, but that was only because they lacked suitable souls to form soul rings.
But that was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that, recently, the Shrek Seven Monsters had received guidance from Tang San's spiritual consciousness and the elder of the Sea God Pavilion, and their combat skills had improved greatly.
Now that they all had one-word battle armors, Tang Wulin believed that the Shrek Seven Monsters were much stronger than before, both individually and as a team. He wondered if they could defeat An Ping and Gu Yuena, and thus achieve their goal of revenge.
An Ping and Gu Yuena had beaten the members of Monster Academy when they were in the Star Luo Empire, but Tang Wulin was confident that they were now far more powerful than the Eight Heavenly Kings of Monster Academy.
Originally, Shrek Academy had planned to let Tang Wulin and the others participate in the federal competition, and then challenge An Ping and Gu Yuena there.
But they realized that An Ping and Gu Yuena would probably not join such an event, so they decided to take advantage of the opportunity of Miracle City's invitation to various forces to participate in the celebration, and confront them there.
Tang Wulin was full of confidence, but Lan Fuzi looked at him with anger. "If I remember correctly, you were at yesterday's event, right? I recall Angel Douluo saying that Miracle City would not accept any requests for discussion or exchange."
Lan Fuzi's tone was rude, but she was actually very restrained. She was facing the son of her enemy, but she did not take any direct action.
Tang Wulin, who did not know the backstory, frowned slightly. He could not understand why the woman with long blue hair, whom he should be meeting for the first time, was so hostile to him.
But he did not want to cause trouble in Miracle City, so he ignored Lan Fuzi's words and stared at Gu Yuena, waiting for her answer.
Gu Yuena did not respond to Tang Wulin's gaze. She pulled Lan Fuzi and Xu Xiaoyan and turned to leave. She had no interest in this kind of meaningless fight. If someone had provoked her before, she might have agreed. But now that she had been with An Ping for a long time, she had changed.
Seeing that the three of them were about to leave, Dai Yun'er spoke provocatively. "Are you scared of us?"
In Dai Yun'er's view, Gu Yuena's refusal to accept their challenge must be because she saw that their strength had increased greatly and she was not sure of winning.
And now was the time of Miracle City's celebration. Gu Yuena must be worried that losing would have a negative impact on the completion of Miracle City. Ordinary people might not know the inside story, but people from major forces should have some idea of how Miracle City was built under the leadership of An Ping and Gu Yuena.
It wouldn't matter if An Ping and Gu Yuena defeated the Shrek Seven Devils at such a crucial time, but if they lost to them, it would definitely damage their reputation.
Gu Yuena didn't react to Dai Yun'er's provocation. She wasn't worried about losing to Shrek Academy, as Dai Yun'er had guessed. She just thought it was pointless.
Gu Yuena turned to leave, pulling Lan Fuzi and Xu Xiaoyan with her. Xu Xiaoyan followed as if she hadn't heard anything. She actually wanted to fight the Shrek Seven Monsters to test the results of her training during this period.
Gu Yuena and Lan Fuzi would sometimes spar with Xu Xiaoyan, but because of the huge gap in strength, Xu Xiaoyan didn't feel any sense of achievement.
Xu Xiaoyan was also a little disgusted with Tang Wulin's behavior of challenging them even though Le Zhengen had already said that he wouldn't accept any discussion or exchange.
But on second thought, Xu Xiaoyan wouldn't openly go against Le Zhengen's words. Lan Fuzi, on the other hand, couldn't stand Dai Yun'er's taunts. She stopped and turned to face Dai Yun'er. "Afraid of you? Who's afraid of you?"
Dai Yun'er glared at the blue-haired woman in front of her, who looked slightly older than her. She said angrily, "What? If you're not afraid, why don't you dare to accept our challenge? When we were in the Star Luo Empire, you all dared to accept the challenge from Monster Academy. Why don't you dare to accept the challenge from Shrek Academy now?"
"Is it because you feel that our soul power has improved during this period, but you haven't made any special progress, and you're not sure of yourselves, so you don't dare to accept our challenge?"
Tang Wulin didn't say anything, but his expression showed that he agreed with Dai Yun'er. Ever since he broke through to the Soul King realm and obtained the one-word battle armor, Tang Wulin's confidence was extremely high.
Lan Fuzi looked at Tang Wulin and Dai Yun'er, and frowned slightly. "You two don't understand human language. The City of Miracles doesn't accept any exchanges. Why do you insist on bringing up this matter of exchange? Is this what Shrek Academy teaches you?"
Lan Fuzi's words made Tang Wulin a little angry. He didn't like her insulting Shrek Academy, but this was the City of Miracles after all, so he couldn't be rude to her.
He forced a smile and said, "Miss, yesterday Angel Douluo only said that the academy in the City of Miracles doesn't accept exchanges, but An Ping and Gu Yuena are not students of any academy, right? So doing this doesn't count as violating the rules set by Angel Douluo."
"Is that so?" Lan Fuzi tilted her head and looked at Xu Xiaoyan, asking in a low voice. She hadn't listened very carefully to Le Zhengen's speech at that time. She only knew that there was this rule. As for whether it was limited to Academy students, Lan Fuzi wasn't sure.
Xu Xiaoyan didn't answer Lan Fuzi's question. Instead, she turned to look at Tang Wulin and said, "You're being a bit presumptuous. Even if you want to follow your logic, even though Brother An Ping and Sister Nana are not students of the same Academy, they can still be considered as teachers of the Academy."
Tang Wulin was slightly startled by Xu Xiaoyan's words. He hadn't expected An Ping and Gu Yuena to become teachers in the college. In his opinion, the most important thing for An Ping and Gu Yuena now was to practice well. How could they have time to teach others?
If that was the case, there was no way Tang Wulin could argue about the academy or not in such a rhetorical way.
