Refuse to Submit, Then Die

"Qianzhao, Qianyue!"

Ya Li's gaze fell upon The Twins as she exhorted, "As the team leaders, you must take good care of the others."

"Understood, Master's wife."

The Twins nodded. Ya Li's gaze then shifted to Jiaojiao and Bajiao, who stood behind them, and she said, "The two of you, their safety is in your hands! It is inconvenient for the academy to send other teachers."

Ya Li's words made Shrek Academy appear somewhat hypocritical.

Since this act of challenging them on their own turf was already a blatant disregard for the opponent's face, what difference would it make whether other teachers went or not?

Jiaojiao and Bajiao assured Ya Li, "Please rest assured, Holy Spirit Douluo! Even if we have to die, we will ensure their safety!"

To the two of them, the safety of The Twins was the absolute top priority.

"Go! I will wait for your return at the academy!" Ya Li let out a sigh of relief and said to the group.

Tang Wulin looked around, but he did not see that familiar figure.

Seeing Tang Wulin's expression, Xie Xie patted him gently on the shoulder and said, "I didn't expect Gu Yue to really not come to see us off! We are representing the academy to compete in the arena, after all..."

"Perhaps Sister Yue was delayed by something? Besides, doesn't she have final exams too!" Xu Xiaoyan quickly tried to explain for Gu Yue.

Tang Wulin was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said to the two, "No need to say anything more. It doesn't matter that she didn't come! We will be back at the academy soon anyway, so seeing her then will be fine!"

The group of six arrived at the soul train station and boarded the train bound for Tiantou City.

The targets for the three arena matches had already been selected: Heaven Dou Advanced Soul Master Academy, Star Luo Advanced Soul Master Academy, and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!

The soul train slowly pulled out of the station and headed into the distance. On the outskirts of Shrek City, Gu Yue watched the soul train disappear, sighed, and then turned around. Behind her stood Di Tian and Bi Ji.

"The Spirit Pagoda's Tianfeng Douluo is currently at headquarters, My Lord." Di Tian bowed slightly and said to Gu Yue.

Gu Yue nodded and asked, "Have you found out what I asked you to investigate?"

"We have." Bi Ji bowed and reported to Gu Yue, "Those two plant-type soul beasts have a deep connection with the Tang Sect; they should be from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!"

"Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well..."

Gu Yue frowned slightly, and Bi Ji continued, "According to the intelligence we gathered, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well fell into the hands of the Tang Sect ten thousand years ago and has been providing them with so-called immortal herbs! It seems to have been created by the remains of two Dragon Kings."

"Where is it?" Gu Yue asked with a frown.

Di Tian replied, "Sunset Forest!"

"Di Tian, take some people to the Sunset Forest. I want those plant-type soul beasts to submit!" Gu Yue's gaze turned cold as she said to Di Tian, "If they don't submit, then they die! As soul beasts who received the grace of the Dragon Clan, they actually provide help to humans!"

"Yes, My Lord!" Di Tian nodded.

After finishing her instructions to Di Tian and Bi Ji, Gu Yue turned and walked toward the Spirit Pagoda.

The Twins and their group sat on the train, watching the scenery recede. Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan were incredibly excited; this trip was to challenge the geniuses of the three major advanced soul master academies. As long as they won, their names would shine throughout the entire Federation!

In front of The Twins lay the files for the Heaven Dou Advanced Soul Master Academy.

The predecessor of this academy was the Heavenly Soul Royal Soul Master Academy and the Heaven Spirit Royal Soul Master Academy. Ten thousand years ago, after the Heaven Dou Empire and Heaven Spirit Empire fell, the remnants of the two academies returned to Tiantou City and reorganized into the Heaven Dou Advanced Soul Master Academy.

Its dean, Tianlian Douluo, was a rank 95 Super Douluo whose ancestors were of the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family!

"I didn't expect our first match to be against such a historic academy! I'm so nervous..."

Xie Xie looked at the files for the Heaven Dou Advanced Soul Master Academy and said excitedly to the others.

"The opponents in the three matches are getting stronger one after another. Whether it's the Star Luo Advanced Soul Master Academy or the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, their histories span over ten thousand years. Don't be nervous!" Tang Wulin looked at Xie Xie and comforted him with a smile.

"Boss, you're making me even more nervous by saying that." Xie Xie looked at Tang Wulin helplessly.

"Don't call me boss anymore! After we form the Shrek Seven Devils, I will be the vice-captain! Just call me vice-captain." Tang Wulin shook his head, correcting Xie Xie's form of address.

"Yes, vice-captain!" Xie Xie nodded quickly.

Xu Xiaoyan looked at Yun Qianzhao, her eyes shining, and asked, "Then should we call Uncle Qianzhao 'captain'?"

Compared to the title of 'uncle', 'captain' clearly sounded more like a peer! 'Uncle' always carried an inexplicable sense of distance, but 'captain' was different! It meant they were partners!

"Let's stick with 'uncle'."

Seeing the shining look in Xu Xiaoyan's eyes, Yun Qianzhao withdrew his gaze and said slowly.

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan pouted, feeling a bit disappointed: "Alright."

It only took a day for the soul train to travel from Shrek City to Tiantou City. By evening, the train had already pulled into the Tiantou station!

Yun Ming had already greeted Zang Xin, and people from the Tang Sect were already waiting there for The Twins' group. They came forward to greet them as soon as they stepped off the train!

"I am Li Wan of the Tang Sect. Please follow me, everyone!"

Li Wan produced his identification and said respectfully to the two.

Before coming, he had already heard from Zang Xin that The Twins and their group had extraordinary identities. People with such talent would have limitless future achievements; if he could build a good relationship now, it might prove useful at some point in the future.

After checking their identification, the group followed Li Wan out of the soul train station.

As he led the way, Li Wan explained the situation of the Heaven Dou Advanced Soul Master Academy to the group. Compared to the information The Twins and the others could only find on the Star Dou network, Li Wan, who had lived in Tiantou City for years, understood it much better.

"If His Excellency Duoqing hadn't mentioned that you were pressed for time, I would have liked to take you all around Tiantou City! Alright, this is the residence the Tang Sect has arranged for you. Please make yourselves at home. I shall take my leave!"

Li Wan smiled and bowed to the group before departing.

Once everyone had left, Yun Qianzhao looked toward Tang Wulin and the others, saying calmly, "Alright, everyone should get some rest early tonight. We will prepare to set off for Heaven Dou Advanced Soul Master Academy tomorrow!"

"Understood! Uncle-Master Qianzhao!"

The group nodded in acknowledgment.

The party rested for the night at the accommodations arranged by the Tang Sect, and the next morning, they changed into their Shrek Academy uniforms and headed straight for the main gate of Heaven Dou Advanced Soul Master Academy.

It was currently the morning rush, and many people were coming and going at the entrance of Heaven Dou Advanced Soul Master Academy.

The Shrek Academy uniform had always been the most distinct symbol within the Federation.

Seeing several people dressed in Shrek Academy uniforms appear here, both passersby and those from Heaven Dou Advanced Soul Master Academy were astonished.

When Yun Qianzhao and his group stated their purpose, they were even more shocked.

A challenge?
