Aside from Granny Yan, who had openly come to visit Zhu Zhuqing,
the Star Luo Military Headquarters had also secretly dispatched an elite squad consisting of one Soul Sage and two Soul Emperors to follow her.
In the world of Douluo 1, the number of soul masters capable of becoming Titled Douluo was pitifully small.
Even the Heaven Dou Empire only had Poison Douluo as a retainer openly affiliated with the imperial family.
Soul Douluo, one rank below, generally existed only within major powers.
And their numbers were not particularly great either.
Thus, Soul Sages were the high-ranking force commonly found within the major powers.
As for Shrek Academy having Soul Emperors and Soul Sages as teachers, that was purely an exception and could not be regarded as the norm.
Shrek Academy had originally been founded by Flender as a retirement home of sorts.
Zhao Wuji, Shao Xin, Li Yusong, and the others
had joined Shrek Academy because they either bore grudges against Spirit Hall, simply disliked Spirit Hall,
or were friends with Flender.
Therefore, a lineup of Soul Emperors and Soul Sages was unquestionably luxurious in Douluo 1.
Moreover, the three people sent by the Star Luo Military Headquarters were all battle-hardened elites who had come off the battlefield.
Not only were they powerful, they were also exceptionally skilled in combined attack techniques.
The three could join forces to deploy various formations and produce extraordinary effects.
Yet even with such a lineup, some of the higher-ups in the military still felt it was insufficient.
That was solely because the drop of golden blood in the brocade box Granny Yan carried was simply too important!
There absolutely could not be the slightest mishap during transport.
If anything truly happened, the three responsible for escorting it would not deserve to live.
