Traveling at full speed, they reached Maple Leaf City, located at the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Sun Moon Empire, by evening that same day.
They were much faster than when Xuan Zi had led the exchange student replacement team last time. After all, that group had included many Soul Tool Department students with lower cultivation, so they had needed to accommodate their speed.
Today's group, however, could practically be called a gathering of Shrek Academy's strongest young generation. Naturally, they moved much faster.
With Ye Chen and Huo Yuhao, two of the continent's foremost Spiritual Power experts, leading the way, they encountered no trouble along the journey.
Maple Leaf City lay at the junction of the two empires and was usually a chaotic mix of all sorts of people. Many merchant caravans traveling between the two nations passed through it, so entering the city was not complicated. After each paying five Copper Soul Coins, the group entered without difficulty.
Ye Chen even rummaged through his storage ring and failed to find any Copper Soul Coins, such low-value currency. The few Silver Soul Coins he had had already been spent when they entered Heaven Dou City last time. Left with no choice, he tossed over a Gold Soul Coin as a tip for the guards.
Xu Sanshi and the others burst into laughter at that. They had not expected Ye Chen, who was practically Shrek Academy's Young Master, to be unable to produce even five Copper Soul Coins.
Ye Chen smiled wryly and cut them off. "All right, don't underestimate Maple Leaf City. Since it lies on the border between two nations, all sorts of people and forces gather here. Every faction has its eyes here. Even the major sects—and even Shrek Academy—have secret sentries stationed here
