Shrek Academy, Sea God Island.

Just as the giant black dragon appeared above the Star Dou Great Forest and the Crimson Sky Change, Zhang Lexuan, who had been nestled warmly in Zhou Huan a moment ago, suddenly stood up and looked solemnly towards the south of Shrek.

Only after the dragon's shadow dissipated and the distant sky returned to normal did Zhang Lexuan slightly relax her brows, but she still did not relax her tense nerves.

With her current cultivation level at the peak of Level 94, she naturally felt the apocalyptic Crimson Sky Change and the oppressive feeling brought by the giant black dragon shadow.

The enormous black dragon, which was faintly visible, was particularly terrifying to her; she felt she couldn't possibly be a match for it.

Just then, two warm hands reached out from behind and gently embraced her slender waist. Zhang Lexuan immediately felt herself leaning against that familiar embrace again, and at the same time, she heard Zhou Huan's voice in her ear. "Don't worry, it's okay."

Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan's heart finally settled down a little. She turned around slightly, looked at Zhou Huan with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Huan replied, "Yes, I know."

Zhang Lexuan didn't rush to ask further questions, but quietly waited for Zhou Huan's answer.

Zhou Huan looked up at the Star Dou Great Forest to the south, as if he could see the largest gathering place of Soul Beast there. After a slight sigh, he said, "If I'm not mistaken, that giant black dragon shadow just now was probably Di Tian."

Really!

Zhang Lexuan was startled upon hearing this.

Given her status in Shrek, she would naturally know about the existence of Di Tian, after all, the record of the last Beast Tide was still displayed in the Sea God Pavilion.

But what could possibly have caused Di Tian to become so enraged? This was hardly a good sign.

Then, Zhang Lexuan heard Zhou Huan continue, "Just now, Crimson Sky Change occurred above the Star Dou Great Forest. There is probably only one reason that could cause such an anomaly: the Star Dou Great Forest's fortune has been severed."

"What?"

Zhang Lexuan looked at Zhou Huan in surprise. The fate of the Star Dou Great Forest had been severed, which would definitely drive all the Soul Fighting Beasts mad, and might even lead to... Beast Tide!

Although she hadn't experienced the last Beast Tide, the horrific scenes recorded in the logs were still vivid in her mind; how many years had it been?

Most importantly, if humanity were to sever the lifeblood of the Star Dou Great Forest, then there would truly be no solution, and a great war would be inevitable.

But Zhang Lexuan wasn't stupid. Besides humans, could it be Soul Beast that severed her luck?

Therefore, Zhang Lexuan looked at Zhou Huan, who seemed to know everything, and asked, "Do you know how this happened?"

Zhou Huan sighed softly and replied, "Yes, I know. The fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest is actually concentrated in a Soul Beast called the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, also known as the Imperial Auspicious Beast. The Star Dou fortune has been severed, which means the Imperial Auspicious Beast is dead."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan frowned slightly and asked, "Was it a human who killed him?"

Zhou Huan nodded. "I suppose so. But that's not the point. The point is that if the Imperial Auspicious Beast dies because of humans, then Di Tian will definitely launch Beast Tide. Also, there's something I haven't told you yet: the Imperial Auspicious Beast is actually Wang Qiu'er."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan's red lips parted slightly, but for a moment she didn't know how to speak. Wang Qiu'er was actually Imperial Auspicious Beast? Yet she, a Titled Douluo, hadn't been able to see through Wang Qiu'er's true form.

It would be a lie to say that Zhang Lexuan wasn't shocked at that moment.

Soon, Zhang Lexuan remembered that three months ago, according to Huo Yuhao and the others, Wang Qiu'er left Qiankun Love-Seeking Valley alone and then disappeared. So how could she have been killed now?

However, this time Zhou Huan did not continue to explain, but said, "In any case, the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest has indeed been cut off. Now the most important thing is that the Beast Tide is coming, and our academy and Shrek City are at the forefront."

Seeing Zhang Lexuan's worried expression, Zhou Huan gently squeezed her small hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm here. Besides, it will take at least two or three days to prepare for launching the Beast Tide. By then, Xuan Zi and the others will be back."

However, Zhang Lexuan shook her head after hearing this. "I'm not worried about myself, but I'm worried that countless people will die in the Beast Tide."

Seeing this, Zhou Huan stroked Zhang Lexuan's hair and said, "But this is Douluo Continent, and it's not something you or I can change."

In his heart, he was thinking that if one day he could bring Zhang Lexuan back to the Blue Star world, she would probably like it.

Although there was war there, at least the country he lived in was a wonderful place.

Upon hearing Zhou Huan's words, Zhang Lexuan sighed softly, "I was being dramatic."

Zhou Huan shook her head, gently touched Zhang Lexuan's cheek, and said, "It's not that you're being dramatic, it's that you're too kind."

Immediately, Zhang Lexuan straightened her posture slightly, becoming decisive again. "Alright, enough with the pretense. Now that we know the Beast Tide is coming, we should make some preparations. I'll go inform the Pavilion Elder still at the academy and the Shrek City defense officer. You go inform the Tang Sect; their Soul Tool will be a great help."

Zhou Huan nodded. "Okay, go ahead."

After saying that, Zhang Lexuan disappeared from the study in a flash.

Zhou Huan sighed with relief; the Senior Disciple Sister was still the same Senior Disciple Sister.

Not in a rush, Zhou Huan leisurely arrived at the Tang Sect's reconstruction site in Shrek City.

To be honest, this was his first time visiting the Tang Sect, since Zhou Huan had never wanted to have anything to do with the Tang Sect.

It has to be said that with Huo Gua, this Son of Destiny, not only did he bring about technological changes in Soul Tool and Hidden Weapons to the Tang Sect, but he also brought Xuan Ziwen, Rank 9 Soul Master who was devoted to the research of Soul Tool. It can be said that the Tang Sect has made a huge profit.

The Tang Sect was thus completely transformed.

No wonder a certain God King kept his eyes on Huo Gua, the Son of Destiny, and even went so far as to use his own daughter as a tool. After all, the Son of Destiny would definitely be a great help once he grew up.

Shaking his head, Zhou Huan stopped thinking about it and stepped forward, saying to the gatekeeper, "Hello, my name is Zhou Huan, from the Shrek Academy. I'm here to see Senior Beibei."

There was no other way. Zhou Huan had never been to the Tang Sect before, and apart from Xiao Xiao and a few others, he didn't really know anyone else from the Tang Sect. Naturally, no one else knew him either, so they could only state that he Disciple of Shrek Academy.

After all, the identity of Shrek Disciple is still very effective, especially within Shrek City.

Sure enough, upon hearing that the visitor was Shrek Disciple, the gatekeeper immediately smiled and said, "Alright, please wait a moment, I'll go and report to the vice sect leader."

Soon, Beibei came out smiling, and even brought Tang Ya with her.

Upon seeing Zhou Huan, Beibei patted him on the shoulder, as if he were an old friend she hadn't seen in years, and said with feigned displeasure, "Hey, Captain Zhou, you're really busy as a guest. The Tang Sect has been established for several years now, and this is your first time visiting, isn't it? You're not leaving without a few drinks today."

Zhou Huan was speechless. He could only mutter to himself, "You're from the Tang Sect, I'm afraid I'll never get out. If you were from the Bei Sect, I would definitely come to your door every day to steal your Soul Tool."

However, Zhou Huan could also tell that Beibei was in a good mood.

That's true. Tang Ya didn't turn evil, so he doesn't have to be a heartless waiter. Now he lives a shameless life with Tang Ya every day. How could it not be good?

Just as Zhou Huan was about to exchange a few polite words, Beibei, who had just said "have a few drinks," was slapped on the arm by Tang Ya, who then glared at her and said, "Drink what!"

Then, Tang Ya immediately changed her expression to a smile and looked at Zhou Huan, saying, "Zhou Huan, come in quickly, I'll show you around our Tang Sect. There are lots of interesting things there. If you're interested, you're absolutely welcome to join us, even as a vice sect leader."

Tang Ya watched Zhou Huan's performance in the entire Mingdu Soul Master Competition, and to her, it was simply earth-shattering.

This is Soul King who can defeat Soul Sage!

Right now, in the Tang Sect, apart from Xuan Ziwen, a Rank 9 Soul Master, probably no one can defeat Zhou Huan.

How can we give up on recruiting such talent?

Especially since Zhou Huan doesn't have any sect background.

However, upon hearing Tang Ya's offer to recruit him, Zhou Huan almost wanted to storm out and say, "How can you repay kindness with enmity?"

However, Zhou Huan steadied himself, coughed lightly, and then said seriously, "Well, there's no need for a tour. I'm here on important business, and it's something urgent."

Seeing Zhou Huan's serious expression, Beibei and Tang Ya also became serious.

Beibei said, "Since we have important business to discuss, let's come inside. This isn't the place to talk."

Soon, led by Beibei and Tang Ya, Zhou Huan arrived at the Tang Sect's reception room.

After several Tang Sect Disciple served hot tea, only Zhou Huan, Beibei, and Tang Ya remained in the living room.

After taking a sip of the tea, Zhou Huan's first thought was, "Wow, the Tang Sect is really rich now."

Although he didn't know much about tea, he had a girlfriend who loved brewing tea, and through this exposure, he learned about many expensive and high-quality teas.

Then, Zhou Huan didn't mince words and went straight to the point. His first sentence startled Beibei so much that she spat out a mouthful of hot tea. "Senior Bei, Senior Tang, the main reason I'm here is to tell you something: the Beast Tide is coming."
