Final Exam

"But isn't a full set of Spirit Forged Battle Armor at the Two-Word Battle Armor level?"

"Two-Word Battle Armor requires a Soul Master to reach the Six-Ring Soul Emperor level before they have enough Soul Power to support it in battle! Uncle-Master Qian Yue is only at level forty-seven. Isn't it too soon for her to use Two-Word Battle Armor?"

After hearing Tang Wulin's plan, Xu Xiaoyan voiced her concerns.

"This..."

Tang Wulin realized it too. He had been so focused on making Battle Armor for Yun Qianyue that he'd forgotten this most important detail!

A Soul Master with four rings might be able to support a single Spirit Forged Battle Armor component, but a complete set of Two-Word Battle Armor would require far more Soul Power than a four-ring Soul Master could possibly provide!

"It's all right. As long as I break through to five rings, I believe I can support the power of Two-Word Battle Armor." Yun Qianyue shook her head and smiled at them.

Hearing this, Tang Wulin finally relaxed. He nodded. "All right! I'll prepare the materials as soon as possible!"

"Thank you, Tang Wulin! When you start forging your Battle Armor, I'll help you with the second tempering, too." Yun Qianyue's gaze fell on Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and the others as she spoke to them with a gentle smile.

After The Twins left, Xie Xie was still full of admiration. "Uncle-Master Qian Yue is beautiful and kind, and so powerful. She's practically perfect!"

Tang Wulin looked at Xie Xie and said slowly, "So, if you want to be worthy of Uncle-Master Qian Yue, you'll have to work hard at your cultivation. Otherwise, you won't even make it past the academy's test."

As Yun Ming's disciples, The Twins' life partners were a matter of the utmost importance.

Xie Xie nodded solemnly. "Of course! I'll definitely work hard! The most urgent thing now is to get ready for the final exam!"

"Heavenly Pillar Crown said the Sea God Pavilion Meeting decided what our final exam would be. What if we can't pass?" Xu Xiaoyan was a little worried.

Tang Wulin comforted her for a while, then turned to Na'er. "Na'er, can we find somewhere to talk?"

Na'er shook her head. "There's no rush, Brother! I still have some things to take care of in the inner court. I'll be going now."

"All right!"

Tang Wulin thought nothing of it. He nodded and watched Na'er leave.

After she left, he took out his Soul Guidance Communicator and contacted Gu Yue, but even after he sent his message, no reply came.

"Gu Yue isn't answering. I wonder what she's doing." Tang Wulin furrowed his brow, a little worried.

"Teacher Wu and Teacher Shen are with her. She should be fine." Xie Xie thought for a moment, then reassured Tang Wulin.

After parting ways with Tang Wulin and the others, Na'er didn't go to the inner court as she'd said. Instead, she went straight to the girls' dormitory in the outer court. Gu Yue was resting in her room, and when Na'er arrived, she made no move to greet her.

Na'er sat down beside her. "Have you made contact with the Spirit Pagoda?"

Gu Yue shook her head. "Not yet! But Tang Wulin is planning to go to the Spirit Pagoda soon to upgrade his Soul Spirit. I intend to make contact with them then."

As she spoke, her gaze suddenly darkened. "After I leave Shrek Academy, his feelings for you will probably grow even stronger! I might lose this bet after all."

"No. We might both lose this bet." Na'er shook her head as she spoke to Gu Yue.

Gu Yue frowned, then quickly realized what she meant. "You're talking about Yun Qianyue?"

Na'er nodded. "Tang Wulin just made a Battle Armor component for her! It was made with Spirit Forging, at the Two-Word Battle Armor level! He's only at the three-ring level. The slightest mistake could cause a backlash!"

"His feelings for Yun Qianyue seem to have come from nowhere, as if they appeared overnight."

Gu Yue sighed and stood up. "Of course I understand that! I don't know what's going on, either! But Yun Qianyue could never be with him. I'm certain of that."

"Why?" Na'er asked with a furrowed brow.

Gu Yue told her, "Because I could tell as soon as we enrolled that she and her brother were hostile toward us! Even though that hostility is now impossible to detect."

Just then, Gu Yue's Soul Guidance Communicator rang. Na'er glanced at it and said, "It's probably Tang Wulin calling. I'll head back first."

Gu Yue and Na'er both found Tang Wulin's inexplicable fondness for Yun Qianyue strange, but neither of them could figure out why it had happened.

But Gu Yue had been right about one thing: Yun Qianyue could never be with Tang Wulin.

After returning to Sea God Island, Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue began testing their Battle Armor.

After exchanging Martial Souls, they used their Martial Souls to connect with the Battle Armor, and the Shining Silver Ice Crystal Crown appeared on Yun Qianzhao's head.

Battle Armor was connected to both the soul and the Martial Soul. Fortunately, Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue shared the same soul.

Once they confirmed that the Battle Armor could be used by either of them, The Twins began thinking about what to do next!

They couldn't stay at Shrek Academy for long. It wasn't just because of the terrifying attack involving the Level Twelve Fixed Soul Guidance Cannonball a few years from now. More importantly, Elder Jin was secretly keeping an eye on them! With him watching from the shadows, many of their actions would be restricted.

But where should they go after leaving Shrek Academy? Or, for that matter, what excuse could they use to leave?

As Yun Ming's disciples, they were already inextricably bound to Shrek Academy on the surface!

The two thought about it for many days, until the Sea God Pavilion announced the final exam for Tang Wulin and the others.

The exam would last fifteen days, during which they would have to team up to challenge three Soul Master Academies of the advanced level!

Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue would also take part, as a team leader and a contestant!

According to the Sea God Pavilion, they were now the Reserve Shrek Seven Devils, so they naturally had to make a name for themselves. The original plan had been to hold the final exam in secret, but now it would not only be public—it would be a grand spectacle!

It was a test for all the young people involved!

"You're going to represent Shrek Academy on this trip! You may win, but you must not lose!" Wu Changkong stood before them and spoke with a stern expression.

He hadn't approved of this exam in the first place!

Normally, all students had their identity documents taken away during the final exam. But these students were expected to carry Shrek Academy's name as they challenged three Soul Master Academies of the advanced level!

It was far too high-profile!

Winning would be fine, but if they lost, it would affect not only their convictions but also Shrek Academy's reputation!

"Don't worry, Teacher Wu. We'll definitely win."

Tang Wulin was confident. They believed their team could defeat their opponents. As long as the other side didn't send out a Six-Ring Soul Emperor, even if several Soul Kings joined forces, they still stood a chance!
