Life-and-Death Contract

Inner Court!

Sea God Lake was shrouded in mist, hazy and ethereal like a fairyland. On the lake's central island, hidden among the trees—

A beautiful woman in a white robe emerged. Her black hair fell to her waist, her features were exquisite and flawless, and her temperament was gentle and graceful. She led Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf around to familiarize them with the Inner Court.

This beautiful woman was none other than the Inner Court's senior disciple, Zhang Lexuan.

As Zhang Lexuan introduced the Inner Court, a probing look flickered in her eyes.

Her eighth Soul Ring was a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring. To obtain it, she had lost eight fellow disciples who had been as close as siblings. She and three other disciples had also been severely injured, barely holding on until Xuan Zi arrived to rescue them.

Yet Feng Tianyu had been able to fight and kill a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast alone. Even while being pursued by a ferocious beast leading an army of Soul Beasts, he had still returned safely to Shrek City.

Such strength made Zhang Lexuan look at him in a new light. If they had possessed strength like Feng Tianyu's back then, perhaps they would not have suffered the pain of being torn apart by life and death when facing that hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast.

At that thought, sorrow flashed through Zhang Lexuan's eyes. After taking a deep breath, she took a document from her Storage Soul Tool. "Junior Tianyu, and Grey Wolf, since you will be fellow disciples in the Inner Court from now on, you must sign a Life-and-Death Contract according to our Inner Court's rules."

"Shrek Academy values actual combat. What goes on in the Outer Court is merely child's play; in the Inner Court, we truly fight with our lives
