Changes

Xie An savored the tea on the table, thinking to himself that he had basically done everything he could.

Although there were still some talents left, he had already gathered the bulk of them.

What remained now was to see how Shrek Academy would react.

If Shrek really pushed their luck and decided to lash out just because they lost a match, he wouldn't mind gifting a second Level 12 God-Slaying Soul Cannonball to the Holy Spirit Cult.

Two years passed in the blink of an eye.

Spirit Pagoda.

Gu Yue bowed and said, "Teacher, you summoned me; is there something you need?"

Her teacher, the Vice Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda, Leng Yaozhu, had suddenly called her over today for reasons unknown.

The beautiful woman with flowing red hair looked at Gu Yue and said with great satisfaction, "Gu Yue, I want you to go to Eastsea Academy in my stead."

Gu Yue was startled; how did her teacher know she had been planning to go to Eastsea Academy?

Her eyes briefly turned into vertical pupils, but they quickly returned to their original appearance.

"I don't know why Teacher wants me to go there."

Gu Yue said in a sweet voice.

"Heh, it's just that the War God Temple Master wants to pull off some big moves."

"Your age is just right; at nine years old, you are already approaching the three-ring level."

"Sending you over to help can be considered repaying the favor that fellow owes my younger sister."

Gu Yue frowned slightly, but quickly smoothed it out: "I obey Teacher's command."

"But Teacher, is that War God Temple Master very strong?"

She asked the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo with a slightly puzzled tone.

Hearing this, the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo's eyes became somewhat distant: "Very strong. More than a decade ago, he had already stepped into the realm of a Quasi-God, and now, he is likely on par with Yun Ming."

But she quickly snapped back to reality: "Why am I telling you this? Your path as a soul master is still very long."

"Yes, Teacher, this disciple will take her leave."

Gu Yue smiled and bid farewell to her teacher.

Upon returning to her room, her expression turned cold.

As if sensing her intent, a shadow appeared silently.

"Tell Na'er she doesn't need to go to Shrek Academy anymore; have her go to Eastsea Academy instead."

The black figure was somewhat puzzled after hearing this: "My Lord, aren't you going yourself?"

Gu Yue shook her head and said nothing more.

The black figure realized their slip of the tongue and vanished quickly.

Ming City, a luxurious villa.

A beautiful man was busy penciling his eyebrows in front of a vanity mirror.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"What is it?"

"Miss, the Master is calling for you."

The servant outside the door said in a low voice.

"How many times do I have to say it? Call me Young Master, not Miss."

The servant outside the door dared not speak.

"Fine, fine, you may go. Tell Father I'll be there in a moment."

This beautiful man was none other than Yuan'en Yehui.

Ever since she met the War God Temple Master at her family estate and heard about what he had done for her family, she had become infatuated with him and began trying to emulate him.

One day, she dressed in a neutral style, and a beautiful young man appeared in the mirror.

It was as if she had opened Pandora's box; Yuan'en Yehui began to constantly experiment with neutral and even masculine attire.

By today, she had begun cross-dressing as a man.

"Father, did you call for me?"

Yuan'en Yehui trotted over to her father, Yuan'en Tiandang, and asked curiously.

Yuan'en Tiandang looked at the beautiful young man before him, and a strange feeling involuntarily arose in his heart.

How did he end up raising a daughter into a son?

Forget it, forget it; it will be fine once the child grows up a bit more.

Yuan'en Tiandang comforted himself in his heart.

"It's nothing major. You're over nine years old, nearly ten, and your soul power has already reached level 26. It's time for you to attend middle school."

"As it happens, the War God Temple Master wants to invite you to study at Eastsea Academy for a period of time."

"I'll go!"

Yuan'en Yehui didn't wait for her father to finish before speaking up directly.

Yuan'en Tiandang was momentarily stunned by his daughter's quick reaction; he was well aware of her admiration for the War God Temple Master.

He just hadn't expected it to reach such a degree.

Still, he had to say what needed to be said.

"You might represent them in competitions later on."

"If you perform well, there's a high probability you'll enter the War God Temple directly."

"Fine! I'll go!"

Yuan'en Yehui didn't hesitate in the slightest and continued.

"Then I'm going to go pack?"

Yuan'en Tiandang nodded, watching the beautiful youth skip away; the sight was indescribably strange.

How did things end up like this?

Yuan'en Tiandang questioned himself internally.

Star Luo Empire.

"Big Brother Long Yue, what does Teacher want with us?"

The younger Dai Yun'er asked, clinging to Long Yue's back like a little kitten.

Long Yue chuckled, "My little princess, you'll know once we get there."

Ever since Long Yue consumed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew that his teacher brought back, his spiritual power had increased significantly.

Now, at thirteen or fourteen years old, he had already reached the peak of the three-ring level.

If not for his teacher En Ci saying that such rapid improvement could easily lead to an unstable foundation, he could have already achieved four or even five rings by now.

He would have become the youngest Soul Elder or even Soul King in the Star Luo Empire.

As for Dai Yun'er, relying on her Twin Martial Souls and the guidance of the Holy Dragon Douluo, she had already reached level 27 at less than ten years old.

Soon, the two arrived inside the imperial palace, where Emperor Dai Tianling and En Ci were conversing.

Seeing them arrive, En Ci, with Dai Tianling's permission, spoke first.

"Long Yue, Yun'er, there is a mission I must entrust to you both."

Long Yue set Dai Yun'er down and bowed respectfully, saying, "Teacher, what is the mission?"

"I once made an agreement with the War God Temple Master that you would go to his place as exchange students for a few years."

"The War God Temple Master has already sent me a message; it is time for us to honor that agreement."

"Teacher, Father, can I not go?"

Dai Yun'er was, after all, a bit spoiled, and she said this with a hint of a pout.

En Ci frowned slightly but said nothing.

It was Dai Tianling who spoke up, saying, "Be a good girl. Didn't you always say you wanted to go out and see the world?"

"Today, your father grants you permission. You will see many interesting and novel things on the Douluo Continent that we do not have here in Star Luo."

"With your Big Brother Long Yue to protect you, I can rest easy."

Seeing that she couldn't sway her father, Dai Yun'er had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Eastsea City, Blacksmith Association.

Tang Wulin looked at the summons on his soul tool communicator and set down the pair of Deep Silver Forging Hammers in his hands.

He arrived at the office of the Saint Craftsman Mu Chen.

Tang Wulin had been following Mang Tian to learn forging for three years.

However, because of the Blacksmith Manual left behind by Xie An, and because he was naturally gifted and had already had a solid foundation laid for him by Mang Tian, he had reached the level of a level-three blacksmith in less than two years.

This had shocked Mang Tian, who reported it up the chain, first to the Saint Craftsman Mu Chen, and then to the God Craftsman Zhen Hua.

Zhen Hua was greatly astonished and wanted to take him on as a disciple, but Tang Wulin said he already had a teacher.

After hearing the name Xie An, the God Craftsman Zhen Hua gave up on taking Tang Wulin as a disciple, though he did state that if he ever needed any help, he could come to him.

Seeing Tang Wulin arrive, Mu Chen smiled and said, "Wulin, you're nine, nearly ten years old this year."

"I originally wanted to arrange a better place for you, but since that person wants you to go to Eastsea Academy..."

"Then you should go there to attend school."

Tang Wulin returned home happily and found his younger sister, saying joyfully, "Na'er, your brother is going to Eastsea Academy."

"Na'er believes in Brother; Brother is always the best."

"However, Na'er can also go with Brother."

After she finished speaking, a Silver Dragon Spear appeared out of thin air in Na'er's hand, and two purple spirit rings emerged.

"Na'er, when did you become stronger than me?"

Tang Wulin currently had twenty-one or twenty-two levels of spirit power, and although his first spirit ring did not use a crippled spirit soul, it was still a snake-type spirit soul.

His spirit rings were only two yellow spirit rings.
