Snow Empress Embryo

Inside the Zodiac Temple in Chu Ye's Sea of Consciousness,

Chu Ye's many clones had gathered as well.

They had all received a message from Chou Ox, Mu Xuan.

Mao Rabbit said lazily, "Everyone's here, so stop keeping us in suspense!"

Mu Xuan said calmly, "The Heavenly Soul Empire and the Body Sect plan to bring out that Level 9 God Sealing Platform ahead of schedule and auction it in Shrek City. I think it's a good opportunity to stir up trouble."

You Rooster's interest was piqued.

"Looks like there'll be another clash of dragons and tigers when the time comes."

"It was originally meant to scheme against the Sun Moon Empire. Now it looks like they're wary of the Spirit Pagoda, so they're bringing it out early, right?"

Chu Ye fell into thought.

Originally, this Level 9 God Sealing Platform containing the Snow Empress Embryo would have come out of the Sun Moon Empire, presumably because a high-level Soul Engineer intended to fence it.

According to the original plot, it would have been intercepted by the Star Luo Empire and ultimately bought back by the Sun Moon Empire during the Soul Master Tournament.

But under the Zodiac Temple's influence, the Soul Engineer had been intercepted and killed by the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Body Sect, so the embryo and the God Sealing Platform had remained with the Body Sect.

With old and new grudges between them, the Body Sect intended to detonate this bomb in Shrek City while also testing the Spirit Pagoda's foundations.

But what the Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Empire hadn't expected was that the man they wanted to appoint as the next generation's holy son of the Body Sect was actually a Zodiac Temple spy.

At that thought, Chu Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

A saying came to mind: Who stands before the court to accuse this very official?

Chu Ye then said, "The Heavenly Snow Woman? She does suit your Ultimate Ice, Wei Goat."

Wei Goat smiled. "Wasn't my Ultimate Ice prepared for exactly this?"

He had deliberately refrained from absorbing a Soul Ring precisely to wait for this day.

Chu Ye smiled. "We're snatching that kid Huo Yuhao's Soul Spirit anyway, so let's call it the price of that Spirit Ascension Pill."

Wei Goat smiled and said, "That makes the Spirit Ascension Pill a little expensive! When the time comes, let's have Huo Yuhao work at my Spirit Pagoda. We could use the extra hands."

Hearing the two of them discuss it, Zhu Hai couldn't help but complain, "Are all of you really treating Huo Yuhao like he's Japanese?"

Zi Rat said, "At least we're bringing his mother back to life early for him. A dog's a dog no matter who its master is, isn't it? Does he have to let God King Tang put him on a leash?"

They all laughed.

Turning to business, Si Snake said, "Then for this operation, I'll still be responsible for getting the God Sealing Platform away first."

Mu Xuan nodded. "I'll give you a signal beforehand when the time comes."

Chu Ye then said, "Any other information? If not, we'll call it there."

The other clones shook their heads.

At that moment, Zhu Hai said,

"I heard some information from below. Apparently, some abnormalities have recently appeared over in Qiankun Asking Love Valley."

Hearing that, Chu Ye's interest was piqued.

"Looks like God King Tang really can't bear to be left out. Fine by me. Without God King Tang's involvement, where would we get our Fate Points?"

The clones smiled at those words.

After all, the most interesting thing on the Douluo Continent wasn't growing stronger, but messing with God King Tang.

After discussing their subsequent plans, Chu Ye had a lovely sleep.

Meanwhile, when Yan Shaozhe saw that Ma Xiaotao looked a little dejected, he grew nervous and asked, "How did it go, Xiaotao? How's your Evil Fire?"

Ma Xiaotao said, "Suppressing the Evil Fire went smoothly. There should be noticeable results after another two or three sessions."

Yan Shaozhe breathed a sigh of relief.

He asked in puzzlement, "Then why the long face? I thought that brat Chu Ye was trying to swindle another reward."

Hearing Yan Shaozhe mention Chu Ye, Ma Xiaotao felt terribly awkward.

She had thought that, with her talent and strength, plenty of boys were pursuing her, even if she did have a bit of a temper.

She had originally thought Chu Ye was the same.

But unexpectedly, that scoundrel had just been teasing her.

Seeing Ma Xiaotao's expression, Yan Shaozhe, a former romantic rogue, felt his heart skip a beat.

The senior and junior sisters he had rejected in the past had worn the same expression.

His temples throbbed as he said,

"Don't tell me that Chu Ye's getting fanciful ideas about pursuing you?"

"Listen to me, Xiaotao. That brat Chu Ye is far too good at causing trouble. If you get together with him, I'm afraid you won't have a single peaceful day in the future."

He had raised Ma Xiaotao as his own daughter, and now some yellow-haired punk from outside was going to root up his precious cabbage!

How could he not be on guard?

Ma Xiaotao instinctively spoke up for Chu Ye.

"But I think he's different."

"At least, compared with other people, he's much more interesting."

Hearing that, Yan Shaozhe's face darkened. He even wanted to go over there right now and ask that damned brat Chu Ye what he had done to turn his disciple into this overnight.

But for Xiaotao's Evil Fire, he would soon have to go and plead with Mu En on Chu Ye's behalf.

After all, cultivating inside the Golden Ancient Tree consumed the life essence accumulated by generations of predecessors.

Yan Shaozhe couldn't help feeling as though he had become those feelings from the past, a boomerang striking him in return.

So this was what it felt like when someone might root up your cabbage.

His feelings were complicated as he went to find Mu En.

Mu En was also astonished to learn that Chu Ye could suppress the Evil Fire.

Thinking that he had only a few years left to live, he immediately gave Chu Ye the green light, saying,

"Since he can suppress Xiaotao's Evil Fire, and Xiaotao is the most outstanding disciple in the outer court, this contribution is worth a session of cultivation in the Golden Ancient Tree."

"I approve, Shaozhe."

Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe breathed a sigh of relief.

But he also sighed inwardly. Damn that Chu Ye. How does he get every benefit, while I have to clean up after him every day?

Seeing Yan Shaozhe's expression, Mu En asked him about it.

When he learned what Yan Shaozhe was worried about, Mu En laughed and said,

"And you have the nerve to talk about Chu Ye?"

"When you were making all that romantic mess in the past, didn't I have to clean up after you plenty of times? How can you show your face and say that?"

Yan Shaozhe gave a sheepish laugh.

After all, he really had been quite a bastard back then.

Mu En casually waved Yan Shaozhe away, then looked in Chu Ye's direction and murmured,

"Zhulong and Chu Ye, will you two be Shrek Academy's future?"

Over the next two weeks, Chu Ye repeated a cycle of eating, sleeping, and causing trouble.

Every day, if he wasn't leading the freshmen into trouble, he was leading the freshmen into trouble.

After giving the three Spirit Ascension Pills and the places at the Spirit Pagoda ceremony, the three of them were thoroughly won over by Chu Ye.

But the outer court's director of teaching, Du Weilun, was the one who suffered for it.

Early that morning, he received complaints from teachers of every grade.

Especially Zhou Yi, the former teacher of Freshman Class One.

Zhou Yi was standing in Du Weilun's office, blocking his way.

"Director Du, look what the outer court has become!"

"None of the students acts like a student!"

"The Soul Fighting Zone is livelier than the classrooms now!"

"Is the academy going to let this Chu Ye keep running wild?"

"Chu Ye must be expelled."

Du Weilun had quite a headache.

What a joke. If they expelled Chu Ye now, Yan Shaozhe would be the first to object.

These past few days, Yan Shaozhe had expressly ordered that no one was to touch Chu Ye.

And on top of that, there were rumors that Chu Ye would represent the academy at the Spirit Pagoda. How could they touch him now?

Not to mention that Chu Ye's own talent was already exceptionally outstanding within the academy.

That was Ultimate Fire and Innate Full Soul Power!

Even among the Shrek Seven Monsters, there were few who could compare with Chu Ye.

Most importantly, although Chu Ye had thrown the outer court into chaos, the outer court's vitality and the students' actual combat abilities had indeed improved considerably.

He explained, "Teacher Zhou, the academy has already been observing in secret. Although things are a little chaotic, the freshmen's actual combat abilities really have improved compared to last year—a great deal."

Hearing this, Zhou Yi grew even angrier.

What did he mean, improved a great deal compared to last year?

Was he saying her teaching was no good?

Zhou Yi said angrily, "If this continues, you'll regret it, Director."

Seeing Zhou Yi start making threats and even question his judgment,

Du Weilun wasn't made of clay either. He said coldly, "I'm the director, Teacher Zhou!"

As he saw it, most teachers didn't complain nearly as often as Zhou Yi. Wasn't it because Chu Ye had basically stripped her of her authority?

A teacher had actually had her power taken away by a teaching assistant, an outer court disciple.

She really was one of a kind.

Clearly, Zhou Yi's teaching methods were deeply unpopular.

But he was in a difficult position too. After all, Zhou Yi's husband was Fan Yu, the vice dean of the Soul Tool Department and a Level 8 Soul Engineer. He couldn't afford to offend him either.

But when it was time to be firm, he, Du Weilun, had to stand firm, or everyone would stop taking him seriously.

Just like what had happened to Zhou Yi.

Amid this tumultuous atmosphere, two weeks passed.

The Body Sect's party arrived in Shrek City first.

Du Busi led the way.

He then unleashed his rank 98 Soul Power, and a terrifying green figure rose directly above Shrek Academy, shouting provocations.

"Shrek Academy!"

"I heard the Zodiac Temple invaded you, and you needed the Sea God to manifest before you could settle it."

"Have you really fallen so far now?"

Hearing someone actually shouting provocations at Shrek Academy, the disciples began discussing it.

"Who is that? What a powerful presence."

"But daring to show off in front of our Shrek? He's about to get his comeuppance."

"Look, isn't that Taotie Douluo, Elder Xuan?"

A golden figure then flashed into view. It was the rank 98 Titled Douluo, Taotie Douluo Xuan Zi.

Xuan Zi held a wine gourd in his left hand and tore at a chicken leg with his right.

Frowning, he said, "Du Busi, who gave you the nerve to come to our Shrek Academy and provoke us?"

Looking at Xuan Zi, Du Busi sneered.

"Xuan Zi, do you think you're worthy of speaking to me?"

"Tell Shrek Academy's Torch Dragon Douluo to come out!"
