Senior Brother

The Sun God Spear and Moon God Spear brushed past Wu Changkong and sank into the ground beside him.

The power of the sun and moon erupted, making even Wu Changkong, who stood at the center, feel uncomfortable. He was shocked. What terrifying Ultimate Attributes!

"Outrageous!"

Zhuo Shi roared. He glared at Wu Changkong and demanded, "This is an examination. You acted like that—where do you think the rules of Shrek Academy stand?"

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

"Did he need to worry?"

Zhuo Shi's face was full of anger. "Did Qian Zhao and Qian Yue not know what they were doing? Were their attacks aimed at his students? He rushed out without even understanding the situation. So impulsive—how can he be a teacher?"

As Zhuo Shi reprimanded 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 couldn't kill the two of them!

Not only would Ya Li and the others watching nearby never allow it, but even Elder Jin of the Golden Tree, which supported the entire Sea God Pavilion, probably wouldn't allow them to kill Tang Wulin.

What's more, they truly weren't strong enough to kill Gu Yue.

Three rings?

No, that was only an appearance!

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

Since they couldn't kill them, why even try? It would only backfire! So the ultimate purpose of Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue's examination was simply to learn about Tang Wulin and Gu Yue's combat techniques.

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

They had clearly seen that Gu Yue seemed about to do something at the very last moment!

Unfortunately, Wu Changkong had interrupted her!

The Twins stood to one side and put away their weapons. "The examination is over! Madam, does passing with the help of someone who wasn't part of the examination count as success?"

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

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

"This old man—"

Zhuo Shi started to argue, but the words died on his lips, replaced by a heavy sigh.

Wu Changkong looked up and gazed at everyone. "Her Holiness Holy Spirit, please give them another chance! Their talents are among the best, even at Shrek Academy! I believe they won't disappoint the academy!"

"But the rules—"

"Rules can be changed, can't they?" Shen Yi couldn't help interjecting.

She couldn't bear to see Wu Changkong like this.

"Shen Yi!"

Zhuo Shi shouted, "As a teacher at Shrek, is that something you should say?"

Zhuo Shi's shout startled Shen Yi into silence.

Watching them argue, the Twins said nothing and simply observed from the sidelines.

Tang Wulin and Gu Yue stood beside Wu Changkong, both silent. Tang Wulin wanted to argue, but they truly couldn't speak up in the current situation.

Seeing one disciple after another like this, Zhuo Shi couldn't help feeling heartache.

But Tang Wulin and the others really hadn't passed the examination!

"How about this? Let them enroll as work-study students! And they must earn an excellent rating in the end-of-semester examination. Otherwise, they'll have to leave the academy!" Zhuo Shi quickly proposed a solution.

"What do you think?"

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

Ya Li then asked the Twins, "What do you think?"

Yun Qianzhao said nothing. Yun Qianyue smiled faintly and said, "We'll leave it to the esteemed crowns to decide!"

Though Yun Qianyue said it with a smile and in a sweet tone, Zhuo Shi could hear the displeasure in her words. He gave a light cough. "Ahem... Well, Qianyue, thank you for understanding!"

"Please, Crimson Dragon Crown. They're your disciples' grandstudents, after all. It's only right!" Yun Qianyue waved her hands repeatedly.

Yun Qianzhao looked at Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan and nodded to them. "I'm sorry I hit you so hard just now."

From beginning to end, they had only targeted Tang Wulin and Gu Yue. In their eyes, although Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan were their companions, they weren't the targets. The Son of God's sins had nothing to do with them.

Xie Xie's face turned red. He opened his mouth but said nothing. Xu Xiaoyan, however, blinked at Yun Qianzhao and repeatedly said it was all right.

After the Twins left, she whispered to Xie Xie, "Hey, he's pretty handsome..."

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

"That wasn't just his doing. Yun Qianyue was in on it too! Don't you think she's pretty?" Xu Xiaoyan shot back without a hint of politeness.

Shen Yi and Wu Changkong, who were leading the way, turned to look at them. Shen Yi said, "Don't be so rude! By seniority, Qianzhao and Qianyue are disciples of Sky-Piercing Douluo. They're the same generation as your Teacher Wu!"

"Then shouldn't we call them Senior Uncle and Senior Aunt?" Xie Xie asked in astonishment.

"That's right."

Shen Yi nodded.

"Senior Aunt..."

Xu Xiaoyan repeated the title. Yun Qianzhao's apology to her came to mind again. She shook her head. "I don't really want to call them that."

Shen Yi thought Xu Xiaoyan still resented the Twins for defeating them, so she said, "Don't take the examination just now to heart! Qianzhao and Qianyue are both very nice people. I'm sure you'll get along well."

"No, no, that's not what I mean!"

Xu Xiaoyan waved her hands and leaned closer. "Teacher Shen, does that Senior Uncle Yun Qianzhao have a partner?"

"Not that I know of."

Shen Yi shook her head, then thought for a moment and added, "But someone's been pursuing Qianyue for a while."

"Who?" Xie Xie blinked and hurriedly asked.

The young master of the Spirit Pagoda, Qiangu Zhangting.

At this, Gu Yue's brows knitted slightly. Xie Xie was too busy marveling at the other party's impressive background to notice her reaction.

Tang Wulin remained silent all the way, until Shen Yi and Wu Changkong led them to the work-study students' dormitory area.

"All right! I need to go back to my teacher. Senior Brother, show them around and help them get familiar with the place." Shen Yi stopped, said goodbye to the group, then turned and headed back to Sea God Island.

As Wu Changkong showed everyone around, Gu Yue noticed that Tang Wulin had been silent the whole time. She gently patted his shoulder. "What's wrong? Are you still brooding over our defeat?"

Tang Wulin shook his head. "I'm reviewing the fight and figuring out what we can learn from it! They really are strong, but I didn't use all my trump cards either. If we put everything else aside and went all out, I think we could beat them!"

"But they didn't go all out either."

Gu Yue looked at Tang Wulin's confident expression and smiled faintly. "I could tell they were holding back."

Hearing that, Tang Wulin looked up at the sky and sighed. "As expected of Sky-Piercing Douluo's disciples—they're powerful! But next time, we'll definitely win! Even without a Limit Douluo as our teacher, we still made it this far, didn't we?"

"We've worked harder than they have!"
