Temporarily setting aside the students' exhaustion from a full day of intense flying and their quick return to rest, the focus shifted to the room where the teachers were gathered.
As a reasonably priced hotel, the double room wasn't particularly large, but it wasn't too crowded with all six teachers from Shrek Academy inside.
At this moment, a complete map of the Heavenly Dou Empire's cities was spread out on the bed near the door, and all the teachers were gathered around it, examining something.
After a short while, Flander, as the owner of the map, spoke first: "The location of Morton City where we are now is quite good. There are three cities with large arenas around this small city: Silvers City, Hulan Motuo City, and Sentan City.
Among them, Silvers City is the closest to Morton City, and it only takes less than three hours to fly there; Hulan Motuo City and Sentan City are a bit further away, but the flight time can still be controlled within three and a half hours, so the children won't expend too much energy on the journey. However, these three cities are in different directions, so we need to determine the final target city tonight."
"This is a bit difficult. We don't know the situation of the teams in the arenas of these three cities. It would be bad if we chose the wrong direction and ended up without a suitable opponent."
"It is a bit difficult, but it's not entirely impossible. It's just that all the teachers will have to work hard tonight."
"Oh? Xiao Gang, tell me more."
"Just like you said, these three cities aren't far from Morton City. Flying with the children would take about three hours, but if you teachers fly there yourselves, it should only take half an hour to an hour.
A round trip would take less than two hours. You teachers are perfectly capable of using tonight to get a firsthand look at the teams in the Grand Arena of these three cities.
However, those teachers sent out to scout will have to work a bit harder tonight."
"Hey, what's that? We're Soul Saint level Soul Masters, and Flander is even a Soul Douluo level! A little less sleep tonight is no problem. Count me in as the scout."
"As Oscar and Oschin's teacher, count me in too. Although my combat power isn't as high as yours, my flying Soul Tool is better. In terms of speed alone, I'm the fastest besides Flander."
"In that case, tonight's reconnaissance will be carried out by me, Lao Zhao, and Lao Shao. Lao Zhao, who flies the slowest, will go to the nearest city, Silves; I'll go to the farthest, Sentan; and Lao Shao will go to Hulan Motuo. Let's not delay, let's set off now."
"In that case, after you return, come to my room to exchange information and determine the final target city."
The curtains fluttered, and the window in the double room was silently opened. The room, which had originally crammed six people, now only had three.
"There's no curfew, why are you jumping out of the window?" The master, who went to close the window, looked at the three figures rapidly ascending into the air under the cover of night and sighed helplessly.
"Hehe," Lu Qibin and Teacher Li Yusong couldn't help but smile upon hearing the master's exclamation. "It's rare to have something interesting happen, but Flander and Zhao Wuji are getting restless. Now that there's nothing else, we'll go back to our rooms to rest. Master, you should rest too."
"Okay, I'll call you both when Flander and the others return."
With the opening and closing of the door, the double room, now empty except for the master, quickly fell silent. During the day, although Flander had been carrying him through the air, as a middle-aged man over fifty with only a Great Soul Master level of soul power, the master could still feel the fatigue in his body, and he needed to seize the time to rest.
At 2:36 AM, the master was woken up by Flander, who was the first to return to the hotel.
"Old Zhao and Old Shao haven't come back yet?"
"No, you're a speed-type Soul Douluo, how could Teacher Zhao and Teacher Shao be faster than you?"
"Then let's wait a bit. I'll go wake up Old Li and Old Lu. Go to the bathroom and wash your face to wake yourself up."
"Knock knock."
In the dead of night, a soft knocking sounded in the quiet hotel corridor. Standing in front of the doors of Teachers Li Yusong and Lu Qibin, Flander frowned slightly. He had underestimated the noticeability of the knocking in the quiet space.
"I should have used my phone to call them. Although it's unlikely to wake someone who's fast asleep, making such a sound late at night is still inappropriate."
Fortunately, the people in the room didn't keep Flander waiting and quickly opened the door. Teacher Li Yusong popped his head out and immediately realized what was going on when he saw it was Flander. Without Flander saying anything, Li Yusong turned around and woke up Teacher Lu Qibin, and they followed Flander to the master's room.
Unbeknownst to Flander and the others, beings in the rooms along the corridor had already noticed them because of the knocking.
Rewinding the clock slightly, let's shift our focus to Oscar and Oschin's room. When Flander's knocking echoed down the corridor, Cowen, who had been sleeping on a mat between two beds, abruptly opened his eyes. While
Flander's controlled knocking might not easily wake a sleeping human, for the keen-hearing hundred-year-old soul beast Cowen, the sound was loud enough to startle him in the quiet night.
After carefully listening to the sounds coming from the corridor, a clear look of confusion appeared in Cowen's eyes.
"What's going on? They gathered together right after dinner, and now they're gathered again in the middle of the night. What could be the reason?"
Confused and unable to fall asleep due to intense curiosity, Cowen couldn't figure out what the teachers were up to, or rather, what could possibly warrant such serious and repeated discussions between a Soul Douluo and four Soul Saints, even after the sounds in the corridor completely disappeared?
Looking back at the still soundly sleeping Oschin, Cowen shook his large head, abandoning his desire to wake Oschin immediately to discuss the matter, and lay back down on the mat.
