Chapter 144 Sun and Moon Exchange Students.
The handover ceremony for this exchange program between Shrek Academy and the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy was held in Maple Leaf City, located in the southwest of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Yan Shaozhe personally led a team of eight Shrek Soul Guidance Department students, including Huo Yuhao and He Caitou, to meet with the representatives selected by the Sun and Moon Empire.
Because he had gotten up in a hurry that morning, Wu Xuan hadn't taken much breakfast, so on his way to the inner courtyard gate to greet the exchange students from the Sun and Moon Empire, he grabbed three more breakfasts along the way.
Before he even reached the gate, a clear, crisp bell rang from behind him, and he knew without a doubt who it was.
Xiao Xiao, wearing the red inner courtyard school uniform, braked sharply in front of Wu Xuan and asked with some concern, "Wu Xuan, were you alright last night? Senior Sister Xiao Tao has already broken through to Soul Saint; wasn't it hard for you to suppress her evil fire?"
"Hard?! Actually... actually it was alright. Suppressing Senior Sister's evil fire is a piece of cake for me." Wu Xuan said, taking an unnatural bite of the steamed cake in his hand. He had actually had a pretty good time last night.
"All right? Then why didn't you go back to the dorm until midnight last night?" Xiao Xiao frowned slightly, her gaze fixed intently on Wu Xuan.
"Didn't go back to the dorm... I didn't go back to the dorm because something's not right! How did you know I didn't go back to the dorm at midnight?" Wu Xuan asked suspiciously, snapping out of his daze.
Xiao Xiao's pretty face flushed red instantly upon hearing this. "Oh! Don't ask, don't ask!"
She said, and ran away in a flash.
What's going on?! Wu Xuan took a bite of the steamed cake in his hand, lost in thought.
Meanwhile, on the other side!!
Shrek City, East Gate!
Yan Shaozhe landed slowly with the exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, turned around and said calmly, "Esteemed exchange students from Sun Moon Academy, on behalf of Shrek Academy, I welcome you."
"Thank you, Dean Yan. We'll be troubling you from now on!" Old Ma flattered obsequiously.
Yan Shaozhe nodded upon hearing this, then turned and entered the city gate. Old Ma waved his hand, and the disciples of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy quickly followed.
"So this is Shrek City...wasn't it supposed to be the number one academy on the continent? Why are the city walls so thick?"
"Yeah, they even need horse-drawn carriages to haul goods here, it's hilarious."
"Just bear with it! It's far inferior to our Mingdu, but experiencing a bit of hardship now and then is still good for cultivation."
"..."
The group from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy followed Yan Shaozhe into Shrek City, pointing and commenting incessantly. Their arrogant sense of superiority made Yan Shaozhe, at the front, narrow his eyes.
"These brats, you'll get what's coming to you once you get to the inner courtyard," Yan Shaozhe sneered and continued leading the way.
At the end of the exchange student group, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, a somewhat melodious girl murmured to herself, "Two years have passed. I wonder what Wang Dong looks like now, but he must be even more handsome. I also wonder if he's still being bullied by Wu Xuan."
Xiao Hongchen, his face dark, crushed a soundproof soul tool, the invisible fluctuations directly isolating him from the outside world.
Interrupting his infatuated sister's daydreams, Xiao Hongchen lowered his voice and said, "No way, Meng! Still thinking about that pretty boy? Looks like you didn't listen to a word Grandpa said!"
Meng Hongchen looked at her brother in disbelief, "You actually eavesdropped on my conversation with Grandpa, you bastard!"
As she spoke, Meng Hongchen raised her little fist to hit Xiao Hongchen beside her.
"What eavesdropping? Grandpa specifically told me to keep an eye on you before he left, to broaden your horizons, and not to be so lovey-dovey and infatuated." Xiao Hongchen grabbed Meng Hongchen's fist and said indignantly.
"But I don't like that Wu Xuan! That guy is alright looking, but his personality is absolutely awful. He talks a lot of trash and has no chivalry towards girls. He always hits them hard." Meng Hongchen pouted and complained.
"So what? On the competition stage, he's your opponent. If he holds back, I'll look down on him. He's fair and impartial and values honor. I admire him for that alone." Xiao Hongchen smiled slightly, somewhat empathetic.
"Hmph! You're no better. How many girls in our Mingde Hall have been made to cry by you?" Meng Hongchen snorted.
"Ahem! Don't bring up my past, let's get down to business. Grandpa instructed that if you can bring Wu Xuan back to our Sun Moon Empire, you'll be a national hero! You'll be granted a title, or even be allowed to establish your own faction. The Ultimate Wind is simply the nemesis of our Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master Legion." Xiao Hongchen's voice grew heavier as he spoke.
"My dear brother! Let's put Grandpa's instructions aside for now. You're not really afraid of Wu Xuan, are you?" Meng Hongchen teased.
"Afraid! Your brother has never been afraid of anyone. I've been training my close-combat Soul Tool for two years just to avenge myself on that guy." Xiao Hongchen sneered.
"Then I'm rooting for you. If you lose, your dear sister will avenge you." Meng Hongchen chuckled and ran off completely, heading towards the soundproof Soul Tool's edge.
"Hey! Don't forget Grandpa's instructions!" Xiao Hongchen called out hastily.
"I won't listen! I won't listen!" Meng Hongchen covered her ears and broke free from the soundproof Soul Tool's protection.
"Grandpa and the others are so opportunistic, they want to control everything, even her partner. This time, she just doesn't want to listen to their arrangements," Meng Hongchen said angrily. She actually understood their plans. Although Wu Xuan was handsome and sunny, she felt that his handsomeness lacked a certain refined beauty. As a top-tier beauty enthusiast, she would naturally choose the best.
Besides, even if she condescended to pursue Wu Xuan, would he be so easy to win over? That guy was always finding fault with their Sun Moon Empire, never giving them a kind look. Just thinking about it made her feel that the road ahead would be difficult.
Meng Hongchen actually had one last instruction: if they really couldn't win him over, they should try every means to eliminate him.
The ancestors of the Sun Moon Empire had worked tirelessly to develop Soul Guidance Technology, far surpassing the original Douluo Three Kingdoms. But fate didn't seem to favor the Sun Moon Empire; instead, it seemed to favor the original Douluo Three Kingdoms. In this period, a Wind Soul Master, capable of changing the continent's landscape and being a natural counter to their Soul Guidance Masters, was born.
In the words of the Sun Moon Imperial Family, since fate wasn't on their side, they were determined to defy it.
Yan Shaozhe, at the forefront, smiled mockingly. How could a mere soundproof soul tool possibly stop his spying?
He knew these exchange students had no good intentions; they were here to steal his skills, and now they dared to set their sights on their future Sea God Pavilion Master—they were simply asking for trouble. He was determined to teach them a lesson later.
If Yan Shaozhe had some worries before, he was now completely unconcerned.
He really wanted to stand before those Sun Moon Empire exchange students and fiercely question them: "Do you think you can just kidnap our Shrek Academy's future Sea God Pavilion Master?
Xiao Tao is truly capable! She managed to win over a cultivation fanatic who only knew how to cultivate in such a short time, thus securing the retention of Wu Xuan, this genius, for the academy.
The 100,000-year-old Three-Eyed Spirit Tiger—Concentrating Spirit Skull—that he had previously requested from the Sea God Pavilion for Xiao Tao, he believed the elders wouldn't refuse."
Thinking of this, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but smile again, feeling greatly pleased.
