Remember, the honored guest of my Martial Soul Hall is called Xuan Zi!

Wang Yan knew he was no match. He glanced at Chen Fan beside him. He wasn't a man afraid of death. As a Shrek Academy teacher, he was always ready to sacrifice for glory and to protect his students.

But the situation was completely different now. Wang Yan turned his head with difficulty, looking at Chen Fan, who was already pale with fright and had legs gone weak.

Today, he had dragged Chen Fan down with him.

"Hoo..."

He lowered his head, his voice dry and hoarse:

"I... agree."

These simple three words seemed to have drained all his strength.

"Very good."

Qian Gu Yan's smile deepened. The terrifying Dragon Might that almost froze space instantly retracted.

He was like a supreme Monarch, accepting the submission of his Subjects.

"A wise man knows when to submit. Although your strength is weak, your judgment in assessing the situation is not entirely blind."

After speaking, Qian Gu Yan ignored Wang Yan's complex expression. He tilted his head slightly, his golden eyes looking with a hint of amusement at the Silver-haired Man beside him, Qian Jun, who had remained silent.

"And you?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Jun's gray eyes lifted slightly, calmly meeting Qian Gu Yan's gaze.

There was no tense confrontation as one might expect.

"A pointless battle."

Qian Jun's voice was as cold as ice. He slowly raised his hands and assumed a standard Surrender Pose. Although there was no subservience in his movements, they exuded a sense of languor.

"I can't beat you."

"I'll join too."

Qian Gu Yan nodded with satisfaction, a hint of arrogance appearing on his handsome face.

"A wise choice."

Just then, Qian Gu Yan's gaze shifted, finally landing on the Youth cowering behind Wang Yan, trembling.

"Since the teacher has joined, the student naturally cannot be left behind."

Qian Gu Yan stroked his chin, his brow furrowed slightly, seemingly very displeased with Chen Fan's current state.

Before he could finish speaking, Qian Gu Yan suddenly made a move!

He didn't attack Chen Fan, but instead, a gentle yet irresistible Soul Power directly enveloped Chen Fan's body.

"Ah! Teacher! Help me!"

Amidst Chen Fan's terrified screams, his entire body soared into the air, tracing a beautiful arc.

"Plop!"

Water splashed.

Chen Fan was directly thrown into the clear small river, instantly submerged by the river water.

After the classic three questions and three answers, the three Chen Fans were thrown onto the shore.

At first, Golden Chen Fan and Silver Chen Fan were quite arrogant, but they were quickly suppressed by Qian Gu Yan, who directly subdued the two guys.

After all, no matter what, the Martial Soul Hall was still short-handed. As long as they could be recruited, recruitment would be the priority. Otherwise... Qian Gu Yan would have already killed the Soul Masters with Two Rings.

"Personnel are in place. Next, it's time to establish our Martial Soul Hall's base. That city ahead looks good. Let's choose this place."

Qian Gu Yan looked towards the city not far away, prioritizing convenience.

Hearing this, Wang Yan, who had been acting like a transparent person on the side, had his heart skip a beat.

"This is very close to Shrek City. If Shrek Academy discovers the Martial Soul Hall... I'm afraid..."

Although Qian Gu Yan's Martial Soul was very strong, and his strength was absolutely crushing, he was, after all, only a Soul King, not even a Soul Emperor.

Shrek Academy had more than one Titled Douluo. Even if the Titled Douluos didn't make a move, some of the stronger teachers in the academy could easily crush Qian Gu Yan to death.

Wang Yan's current situation was extremely awkward.

On one hand, as a member of Shrek, he instinctively hoped that the academy would take action to eliminate this unstable factor operating under the banner of the Martial Soul Hall.

But on the other hand, he was terrified. If the academy really made a move, would they also eliminate him and the innocent Chen Fan along with it?

After all, to those who didn't know, he was now mixed with these remnants.

What's more, these two guys had the exact same face as him!

Once a conflict broke out, it would be like mud falling into the crotch of his pants – it would stink whether it was shit or not.

To save his life, and to prevent Shrek Academy from suffering unnecessary turmoil, Wang Yan gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

"Shrek Academy? What is that?"

Qian Gu Yan said casually upon hearing this, a force he had never even heard of.

Shrek Academy, what is that?

You can actually say something like that?

One must know that Shrek Academy is an academy that has stood on the Douluo Continent for tens of thousands of years. Ten thousand years ago, it even produced seven God-achievers. Even now, it remains the number one academy on the Douluo Continent, with a formidable reputation.

However... Qian Gu Yan emerged from That River, so it's understandable that he wouldn't know about such matters. Wang Yan briefly explained the situation of Shrek Academy to Qian Gu Yan.

The subtext was already quite clear. Although Qian Gu Yan possessed a powerful spirit and good talent, even among Soul Kings, he was undoubtedly top-tier. However... Shrek Academy would not send a Soul King to duel Qian Gu Yan.

After hearing Wang Yan's words, Qian Gu Yan couldn't help but chuckle. Even when Wang Yan mentioned that Shrek Academy had many Titled Douluo, he seemed completely unfazed.

Seeing Qian Gu Yan's demeanor, Wang Yan's heart skipped a beat. Could this guy challenge a Titled Douluo with his Soul King strength?

Is this version of myself so powerful?

No, no, no. No matter what, it's impossible for a Soul King to defeat a Titled Douluo.

"It's fine. Martial Soul Hall already has a Conferred Knight who has arrived in this world. The Titled Douluo in that Shrek Academy will definitely not be his opponent."

"Besides, as long as we don't commit acts against justice, we will not have any conflict with Shrek Academy."

"Of course, Shrek Academy will ultimately have to submit to Martial Soul Hall."

A look of absolute confidence flashed in Qian Gu Yan's eyes. So what if they were the number one academy on the Douluo Continent?

Martial Soul Hall is the only choice in this world!

"Conferred Knight?"

Wang Yan was stunned. Didn't this Qian Gu Yan come out of the river water?

How could a Conferred Knight have already arrived in this world?

"You don't think that Martial Soul Hall's highest combat power is just me, a mere Soul King, do you?"

Qian Gu Yan looked at Wang Yan with a half-smile, a look that made Wang Yan feel very guilty. That's exactly what he thought.

After all, Martial Soul Hall had been destroyed for who knows how many years. Now, another self who emerged from the river claimed to want to rebuild Martial Soul Hall, so... naturally, he thought this was Qian Gu Yan's idea alone.

"Forget it, let's not consider this base for now. First, let's go find the Conferred Knight of our Martial Soul Hall. Remember, the name of our Martial Soul Hall's Conferred Knight is Xuan Zi!"

Qian Gu Yan's words completely dumbfounded Wang Yan. Xuan Zi?

Isn't that one of the Sea God Pavilion Elders of their Shrek Academy?

When did he become a Conferred Knight of your Martial Soul Hall?
