Xu Yanli left the arena leisurely with his companions.

Today's assessment was relatively relaxed, as it was intended to let everyone acclimate. Xu Yanli did not return with his companions, but instead headed straight for Xiaoyao Pavilion.

"Teacher." Xu Yanli arrived before Kong Deming and said with a smile.

"Aren't you supposed to be taking the Shrek Academy exam? Why have you run over here?" Kong Deming set down the Soul Tool he was currently developing and asked with a smile.

"Staying at Shrek Academy is naturally not as comfortable as staying on my own turf, and besides, that freshman assessment at Shrek Academy isn't exactly difficult." Xu Yanli found a chair nearby and slumped into it.

"That teacher you drove away earlier—I have a feeling she is definitely going to stir up trouble," Kong Deming said calmly.

Xu Yanli rested his chin in his hand, smiled, and said, "I'm just waiting for her to stir up trouble. It would be best if she could bring out that He Caitou from the Soul Tool Department."

"He Caitou?" Kong Deming's brows furrowed tightly; clearly, he did not understand why Xu Yanli had suddenly brought this person up.

"His original name is Xu He. Is Teacher familiar with that name?" Xu Yanli's body tensed slightly, and he slowly sat up straight.

"The former crown prince? You want to use this opportunity to kill him? But wouldn't that be prematurely..." Kong Deming's hands tightened, and he said with some helplessness.

"I don't want to use this to kill him, but rather to see if I can find a way to control him." Xu Yanli gave a soft laugh, then straightened his body, clapped his hands, and walked outside.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw Long Xiaoyao sitting by the door. Seeing him emerge, he even greeted him.

Xu Yanli shrugged and headed toward his room with a wandering gaze.

To be honest, facing this person, Xu Yanli truly felt a bit uncomfortable; seeing her appearance always made him associate her with Mu En, who lay on a recliner.

"Kid, come here." Seeing that Xu Yanli intended to ignore him and walk away, Long Xiaoyao called out.

Xu Yanli felt a shiver run through his body, then slowly walked toward the other party, sat down beside him, and asked with a smile, "What business does Elder Long have with me?"

"Hmph!" After a cold snort, Long Xiaoyao said slowly, "Kid, do you really have no thoughts about that position at all? With your status, although the resistance in the Sun Moon Empire is great, if you were to raise a call, I imagine quite a few people would support you."

Xu Yanli shook his head and said with a smile, "Sigh, you don't know, but I am the type of person who hates calculating back and forth the most. But now, I have no choice; with low strength, I can only rely on schemes. As for being an emperor, it's just too tiring."

"But have you ever thought that those who want to support you will be very disappointed, or even..." Long Xiaoyao paused, his voice raspy as he spoke.

"Everything you've said is based on the premise that my strength is insufficient. As long as my strength is strong enough, then no matter what choice my brother eventually makes, or what foolish decisions he commits, I will have the ability to counter them," Xu Yanli said with a casual smile.

In truth, he knew that his plan to remain the Prince Xiaoyao for his entire life might be difficult, but if he were destined to become a god in the future, then all of this would be easily resolved.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao, who was at the Body Sect, was being kept personally by the one called Du Busi, whose eyes were filled with excitement as he looked at Huo Yuhao.

Spirit Eye!

What a magnificent Spirit Eye martial soul!

Compared to the joyous atmosphere of the Body Sect, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion in the Star Luo Empire was currently gloomy to the extreme.

The Duchess of White Tiger stared at a portrait before her, her hands clenched tightly, her face deathly pale.

"Impossible, impossible. Shouldn't you have died long ago? How could there still be a son? Ah, ah, ah!" The Duchess of White Tiger screamed loudly.

It was fortunate that none of the surrounding maids were present, otherwise, the dignified image of the Duchess of White Tiger would have been completely shattered.

"Dead person, why can't you just stay dead forever? Why must you appear again? Since you are dead, your son should have gone down to accompany you," the Duchess of White Tiger said after calming her emotions for a long time.

The Duchess used a secret code to summon the secret guards of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, then ordered them to assassinate the person in the portrait.

After the secret guards left, the Duchess of White Tiger stared fixedly at the portrait, her eyes never leaving it for a moment.

Meanwhile, the members of Xiaoyao Pavilion in the Heaven Dou Empire were already setting out to execute the tasks Xu Yanli had ordered.

Time passed quickly, and the sun of the second day of the assessment slowly rose.

Xu Yanli did not choose to sleep in the dormitory, and for some reason, Elder Mu did not seek him out for a talk either.

Xu Yanli even woke up half an hour early and headed quickly to the examination grounds.

The following matches did not have much difficulty, until the very last one.

"Class One Xu Yanli's team versus Class One Wang Dong's team."

Xu Yanli looked silently at the team in front of him, and at that exceptionally conspicuous big guy, a trace of confusion flashing across his face.

No, has Zhou Yi gone mad?

To be able to take him down early, she actually agreed to let Fan Yu's disciple join Mu Jin's team to trip him up.

"Today's match is somewhat special. At the request of the directors of the Soul Tool Department and the Martial Soul Department, and in order to showcase the strength of the students in the Soul Tool Department, a senior two years your senior has been dispatched as a roaming member," Wang Yan's voice was filled with disbelief, and he looked at Xu Yanli with a hint of apology.

Although he knew Xu Yanli would certainly win, this, well, it really did look quite disgusting.

The rules had already been set and the groups already decided; how could an extra person be added so suddenly, and how could they be so disrespectful of the rules?

Wang Yan sighed, added one more sentence, and left once the match began.

Xu Yanli's hand paused slightly, his gaze sweeping casually over the big, burly man.

This truly was a case of "searching high and low, only to find it without any effort."

Sigh, the former crown prince had actually delivered himself to his doorstep.

Xu Yanli whispered to his two teammates beside him, "Leave that big guy and Wang Dong to me; you two go and take out the support in the back."

"Don't worry, Captain," Xiao Xiao said, patting her chest.

Xu Yanli looked at Xu He's appearance and suddenly said with a smile, "Why does this senior's appearance look so much like those from the Sun Moon Empire? Could it be that you are from the Sun Moon Empire, Senior?"

He Caitou's action of checking his Soul Tool paused suddenly, a flash of nervousness crossing his face, but he quickly restrained his expression.

"Little brother is mistaken. Perhaps it is because I have been dealing with Soul Tools for so long that my skin appears a bit dark," He Caitou said, scratching his hairless, bald head with a look of simple honesty.

Xu Yanli smiled without saying a word, snapped his fingers, and said, "Come on, let's show our senior a thing or two."
