Uncle-Master

The Sun God Spear and the Moon God Spear brushed past Wu Changkong, embedding themselves into the ground at his sides.

The power of the sun and moon erupted, causing even Wu Changkong, who stood at the center, to feel a wave of discomfort. He was inwardly horrified—what terrifying, ultimate attributes!

"Reckless!"

Zhuo Shi roared. He glared at Wu Changkong and demanded sharply, "This is an examination! You intervene like this—where do you place the rules of Shrek Academy?"

Shen Yi hurriedly said, "Teacher, Senior Brother was only worried about the safety of Tang Wulin and the others—"

"Does he need to worry!"

Zhuo Shi's face was full of fury. "Do Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue not have a sense of propriety? Did their attacks aim for his students? To rush out without even understanding the situation—how impulsive! What kind of teacher is this!"

Watching Zhuo Shi reprimand Wu Changkong, Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue remained calm.

They had indeed wanted to kill Tang Wulin and Gu Yue right there, but they understood that they could not kill these two!

Not to mention that Ya Li and the others were watching from the sidelines, even the Elder Jin of the Golden Tree, who supported the entire Sea God Pavilion, would likely not allow them to kill Tang Wulin.

Furthermore, their strength was indeed insufficient to kill Gu Yue.

Three rings?

No, that was merely a facade!

As the Lord of Soul Beasts, she was at least at the level of a god!

Since they could not kill them, why bother trying? It would only do more harm than good! Therefore, the ultimate goal of this examination for Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue was simply to understand the combat techniques of Tang Wulin and Gu Yue.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

They had clearly seen that at the final moment, Gu Yue had seemed to be planning something!

Unfortunately, it had been interrupted by Wu Changkong!

The Twins stood to one side and retracted their weapons. "The examination is over! Mistress, does passing an examination with the assistance of non-examinees count as a success?"

Ya Li shook her head. "Of course not."

Cai Yue'er's gaze also fell upon Wu Changkong. "You are too impulsive! Honestly, you're the same as you were back then! Zhuo Shi, look at the fine disciple you've taught!"

"Old man—"

Zhuo Shi wanted to argue, but the words died on his lips, turning into a heavy sigh.

Wu Changkong raised his head and looked at everyone. "Holy Spirit Crown, please give them a chance! Their talent is among the best, even within Shrek Academy! I believe they will not let the academy down!"

"But the rules—"

"Can rules not be changed?" Shen Yi could not help but add.

She could not bear to see Wu Changkong like this.

"Shen Yi!"

Zhuo Shi roared, "As a teacher of Shrek, is this something you should be saying!"

Shen Yi was startled by Zhuo Shi's shout and immediately shut her mouth.

Watching their argument, The Twins did not speak, acting merely as bystanders.

Tang Wulin and Gu Yue stood beside Wu Changkong, both silent. Tang Wulin wanted to argue, but in the current situation, it was difficult for them to speak.

Seeing his disciples acting like this, one after another, it would be a lie to say Zhuo Shi felt no heartache.

But Tang Wulin and the others had indeed failed the examination!

"How about this: let them be work-study students! Furthermore, they must achieve an 'excellent' rating in the end-of-semester examination; otherwise, they must be expelled!" Zhuo Shi quickly provided a solution.

"What do you think?"

He looked at Ya Li and Cai Yue'er. Cai Yue'er shook her head. "I have no objections."

Ya Li asked The Twins, "What is your opinion?"

Yun Qianzhao did not speak, but Yun Qianyue smiled slightly and said, "Let everything be decided by the Crowned ones!"

Although Yun Qianyue said this with a smile and a docile tone, Zhuo Shi detected the dissatisfaction in her words. He coughed lightly. "Ahem—well, little girl Qianyue, thank you for your understanding!"

"No, no, Crimson Dragon Crown, they are your grand-disciples after all, it is only right!" Yun Qianyue waved her hands repeatedly.

Yun Qianzhao looked at Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan, nodding to them. "Apologies for the heavy-handedness earlier."

From start to finish, they had only targeted Tang Wulin and Gu Yue. In their eyes, although Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan were the pair's companions, they were not their targets; the sins of the Son of God had nothing to do with them.

Xie Xie's face flushed red; he opened his mouth but said nothing. Xu Xiaoyan, however, blinked as she looked at Yun Qianzhao, repeatedly saying it was no problem.

After The Twins left, she whispered to Xie Xie, "Hey, he's actually quite handsome..."

Xie Xie glanced at Xu Xiaoyan and clicked his tongue. "He's the one who got us demoted to work-study students! And you're still complimenting him?"

"It wasn't just him, Yun Qianyue was part of it too! Don't you think she's quite pretty?" Xu Xiaoyan retorted without hesitation.

Shen Yi and Wu Changkong, who were leading the way, looked back. Shen Yi said, "No being rude! According to seniority, Qianzhao and Qianyue are disciples of the Heavenly Pillar Crown and are of the same generation as your teacher Wu!"

"Doesn't that mean we have to call them Uncle-Master?" Xie Xie looked surprised.

"That's right."

Shen Yi nodded.

"Uncle-master..."

Xu Xiaoyan repeated the title, the scene of Yun Qianzhao apologizing to her flashing before her eyes. She shook her head. "I don't really want to call him that."

Shen Yi assumed Xu Xiaoyan was still holding a grudge over The Twins defeating them, so she said, "Don't take the assessment from earlier to heart! Both Qianzhao and Qianyue are very good people; you will surely get along well."

"No, no—that's not what I meant!"

Xu Xiaoyan waved her hands, leaned in, and asked, "Teacher Shen, does that Uncle-master Yun Qianzhao have a partner?"

"As far as I know, no."

Shen Yi shook her head, thought for a moment, and added, "However, someone has been pursuing Qianyue for a long time."

"Who is it?" Xie Xie blinked and asked hurriedly.

"The young master of the Spirit Pagoda, Qiangu Zhangting."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue's brows furrowed slightly. Xie Xie was too busy marveling at the other party's prestigious background to notice her reaction.

Tang Wulin remained silent the entire way, until they arrived at the work-study student dormitory area under the guidance of Shen Yi and Wu Changkong.

"Alright! I need to return to the teachers. Senior Brother! You take them to familiarize themselves with the environment." Shen Yi stopped, bid them farewell, and turned back to head toward Sea God Island.

As Wu Changkong led the group to get acquainted with the surroundings, Gu Yue noticed Tang Wulin's continued silence. She gently patted his shoulder. "What's wrong? Are you still brooding over the earlier defeat?"

Tang Wulin shook his head. "I'm reviewing and summarizing! Their strength is indeed formidable, but I didn't reveal all my trump cards either. If we cast everything aside and go all out, I think we could defeat them!"

"But they weren't going all out either."

Gu Yue looked at Tang Wulin's confident expression and smiled slightly. "I could tell; they still held back."

Hearing this, Tang Wulin looked up at the sky and sighed, "Truly worthy of being disciples of the Sky-Piercing Douluo; they are very powerful! But next time, we will definitely win! Even without a Limit Douluo teacher, haven't we made it this far?"

"Our efforts are greater than theirs!"
