Your Uncle Phainon Has Entered the City! All Rise!

The secret chamber of the Qiangu Family.

A figure emerged from the shadows and knelt before Qiangu Dongfeng: "Pagoda Master, I have arranged everything you requested."

Qiangu Dongfeng leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers lightly twice on the armrest.

"Hmm, good. Well done."

The man stepped back.

The door to the secret room slowly closed behind them.

Qiangu Dongfeng sat in his chair, his gaze fixed on the minutes of the Spirit Pagoda Council meeting on the table.

His brow furrowed slightly, and he tapped his fingers twice on the armrest.

Leng Yaozhu agreed too readily at today's meeting.

It's not because we have no other choice, it's because we genuinely don't care.

Her nonchalant attitude was as if she were sending Bai Yuan to Shrek.

It wasn't the Qiangu Family suppressing the Leng Family, but rather the Leng Family bestowing charity upon the Qiangu Family.

Was she faking it, or was she genuinely confident?

Given Leng Yaozhu's personality, she wouldn't fight a battle unprepared.

The fact that she dared to send Bai Yuan to Shrek shows that she has absolute confidence in Bai Yuan's abilities.

This shows that in her eyes, the so-called geniuses at Shrek were not worth mentioning at all.

Qiangu Dongfeng's brows furrowed even more.

Bai Yuan truly stole the show at the Heavenly Sea Grand Competition, defeating Yu Yuanheng with a single sword strike.

So what? He only defeated the fifth-ranked player on the Youth Genius Ranking.

The gap between the top three and the rest cannot be bridged by talent alone.

Qiangu Dongfeng shook his head, shaking that unease out of his mind.

He sent people to infiltrate the exchange team; their primary task was to gather intelligence for him and pave the way for his ultimate plan.

He needed this intelligence: Shrek Academy's millennia-long accumulated foundation and the Sea God Pavilion's defensive deployments.

Once his plan succeeds, the entire continent will be reshuffled.

By then, everything will have been nothing but fleeting smoke.

Qiangu Dongfeng leaned back in his chair, gazing at the dim ceiling of the secret room.

Close your eyes.

Victory will eventually come.

I will surely unify the continent!!!

To fulfill a vision that none of my ancestors ever achieved!

A few days later, at the Spirit Pagoda.

The place was bustling with noise.

The flags fluttered in the morning breeze, and the emblem of the Spirit Pagoda gleamed in the sunlight.

Dozens of exchange students who were about to go to the Shrek Academy lined up neatly.

Bai Yuan stood at the very front, listening expressionlessly to Qiangu Dongfeng's impassioned speech.

"Today! I, the Qiangu Dongfeng, bid farewell for you all!"

The resounding sound of the Qiangu Dongfeng echoed throughout the entire square.

"Today, you all went to Shrek Academy for the Spirit Pagoda. I will remember you all! Everyone will remember!"

Spirit Pagoda will never forget anything you've done!

I hope you will make a name for yourselves at Shrek and achieve great things!

The Spirit Pagoda will always be waiting for you to come home!

Wishing you all peace and success!

"Good!!!" The trainees behind him shouted in unison, some even with tears welling up in their eyes.

Bai Yuan's lips twitched slightly.

You know what, Qiangu Dongfeng's brainwashing skills are pretty good.

They packaged "working for the Qiangu Family" as "Spirit Pagoda."

After this smooth talk, those students from ordinary backgrounds would definitely be moved to tears, wishing they could do anything for him.

After recounting the story of the Qiangu Dongfeng, Chao Leng Yaozhu nodded slightly.

With a polite smile on his lips, he turned and walked into the gate of the Spirit Pagoda.

The trainees boarded the Soul Guidance Vehicle.

Bai Yuan was walking at the very back when Leng Yaozhu called out to him.

"Take good care of yourself."

Leng Yaozhu's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable certainty.

Be sure to contact me if you need anything.

"If all else fails, I'll contact the Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li. I've already spoken to her on my behalf."

Bai Yuan nodded. "Understood."

Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li.

She was revered as the "kindest woman" in the Douluo Continent. She overworked herself to save civilians from a plague, which resulted in her losing her fertility.

Among the people at the Shrek Academy, she was one of the few whose character was decent.

As for Cai Yue'er, she'd better not come looking for trouble, otherwise he has a hundred ways to torment her.

"Hehehe"

Her personality makes her too easy to set up.

"Goodbye, teacher." Bai Yuan waved to Leng Yaozhu.

Gu Yuena stood beside Bai Yuan, bowing slightly, her voice soft.

"Goodbye."

The two turned around and stepped onto the soul-guided vehicle, one after the other.

Leng Yaozhu stood there, watching the soul-guided vehicle slowly start and drive out of the Spirit Pagoda gate.

The image of that car receding into the distance was reflected in my pupils.

She didn't look away until it disappeared at the end of the street, then turned and walked into the Spirit Pagoda.

The Soul Guidance Vehicle drove smoothly on the highway leading to Shrek City.

An atmosphere filled the carriage, a mixture of excitement, tension, and curiosity.

The trainees huddled together in small groups, quietly discussing their upcoming exchange program.

Some people are speculating about what kind of dormitories Shrek Academy will arrange for them.

Some people are worried that their abilities might be completely overwhelmed by the geniuses over there.

Some people are already planning how to use this opportunity to make more friends.

Bai Yuan leaned against the car window, his gaze fixed on the fields rushing past outside, without saying a word.

Gu Yuena sat next to him, glanced at him, and seeing that he remained silent, gently nudged him with her arm.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?"

Her tone was slightly teasing, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

Bai Yuan turned his head and looked at Gu Yuena's profile, which was forced to maintain a defiant expression, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Junior sister, I think you haven't been trained by me for a few days, you're being a bit naughty."

Gu Yuena's lips twitched.

She pouted, turned her face away, and her long silver hair slipped down her shoulder, obscuring her slightly flushed cheeks. She spat out through gritted teeth, "Hmph, you pervert."

A feeling of grievance welled up inside me.

Even though he's the Silver Dragon King with ridiculously high talent, why can't he beat him?

It must be that wretched Aeon causing trouble.

His Soul Ring and skills are all completely unreasonable.

When I Dragon God, I'll definitely beat that Aeon to a pulp!

Bai Yuan couldn't help but chuckle at her sullen expression.

That's it?

No, junior sister.

He didn't say anything more, leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes, and began to rest.

Gu Yuena glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, and seeing that he really didn't say anything, she bit her lip and turned to look out the window.

Shrek City, main gate.

Cai Yue'er stood at the school gate, arms crossed, her expression normal, but her eyes were fixed on the approaching soul guide vehicle.

Ya Li stood beside her, dressed in white, her face gentle, but with a hint of worry in her eyes.

They've arrived.

That little bastard is coming.

Cai Yue'er cursed inwardly.

She hadn't settled the score with Skysea City yet, and now he'd delivered himself right to her doorstep.

Exchange? Learning?

Watch how I get him killed.

Shrek is my territory. Once you step through this door, your life or death is no longer up to you.

Ya Li glanced at Cai Yue'er and caught a fleeting glint of cold light in her eyes.

It's been so many years, and it's still the same.

Cai Yue'er has always been independent and eccentric since childhood, causing chaos in the Soul Master World when she was young.

Shrek Academy, under pressure from various parties, sent its higher-ups to bring her back.

I never thought I'd be like this even in my old age; I haven't changed at all.

A leopard can't change its spots!

"Quiet down."

Ya Li's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a hint of scolding.

"Don't do anything underhanded during the conversation."

The Sea God Pavilion takes this very seriously. I can't control what happens after it's over, but you better behave yourself for the next year."

Cai Yue'er gritted her teeth and remained silent.

She withdrew her gaze from the soul-guided vehicle, lowered her eyes, and suppressed the surging hatred in her heart.

She endured it for a year.

She'll have plenty of opportunities after the exchange ends.

The soul-guided vehicle slowly came to a stop at the school gate.

The car door opened, and Bai Yuan was the first to get out.

He raised his head, glanced at the majestic school gate, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Shrek, here I come!

Your grandpa's here!!!
