Red Lotus Witch, "Chen Wuzhu."

Divine Sword Youth, "Ye Moyong."

Both of them were fourth-years in Shrek's outer court.

Yet they already had seven-ring cultivation and were two-word battle armor masters.

They were the strongest talents Shrek Academy had seen in nearly a century, and also the personal disciples of Yi Zichen and Ling Zichen.

"I really don't get it."

"Why do our teachers insist on making us come teach at the Elf branch in the future?"

"And they even said we could think more about romance on Elf Planet, and take advantage of our youth to go have some fun in the Soul Beast Forest as much as possible."

Chen Wuzhu twirled the ends of her hair around her slender fingers, sighing as she complained.

Ye Moyong, who never set down the longsword in his arms no matter where he went, replied when he heard her.

"If our teachers arranged it this way, there must be a reason for it."

"They're all true gods."

"And yet they unanimously decided to use matchmaking to take Di Tian as... cough, to win over the Beast God as an honor for the academy."

"Then they must have their reasons."

"Hmph!" Chen Wuzhu snorted proudly. "Of course I know what our teachers arranged."

"But I just don't understand it."

"A king of soul beasts who couldn't even survive his godhood tribulation, who had to rely on transforming and recultivating before he could break through to become a god—what about him is worth going to so much trouble to win over?"

Chen Wuzhu had the same proud personality as her teacher, Ling Zichen. Or rather, it was precisely because of their similar personalities that Ling Zichen had decided to take her as a disciple.

"I think neither you nor I are any worse than Di Tian."

"So what if he's a true god?"

"Give us time, and we can step into that realm too."

"Surpassing the so-called king of soul beasts, Di Tian, is only a matter of time."

"There's no need to feed ourselves to a dragon."

"If anything, Di Tian should be glad he transformed and recultivated a few years too late. I'm coming to the Elf branch to teach, not to be a student."

"Otherwise, I'd definitely beat him so recklessly he'd be crawling all over the ground looking for his dragon teeth."

"Then I'd throw one line at him: 'An enemy defeated by my hand will never be seen as an opponent by me. I'll give you time to catch up, until you can no longer even see me in the distance.'"

"Matchmake me with him?"

"Is he worthy?"

Her way of speaking was so blunt that Ye Moyong wanted even more to stay away from this witch.

They were still on Elf Planet. She should at least restrain herself a little.

Of course, he could understand Chen Wuzhu's dissatisfaction.

As the current number-one proud daughter of heaven in Shrek Academy, she had personally been ordered by her teacher to be matched with a soul beast. Anyone in her place would be unhappy.

Not only was Chen Wuzhu unhappy, Ye Moyong was unhappy too.

It was just that his level of unhappiness was slightly lower than Chen Wuzhu's.

Chen Wuzhu was not the only one being matchmade. Ye Moyong was one of them as well.

That teacher of his, Yi Zichen.

He was acting like he'd had too much to drink.

Who knew where he had dug up some damned unofficial biography of Huo Yuhao, saying that the person Huo Yuhao had liked at first was a boy, and in the end, that boy had become a girl.

In the middle of that damned unofficial biography, there was even a Qiankun Asking Love Valley that could change someone's sex mixed in.

Reading one unofficial biography was enough to make goosebumps fall all over the floor.

To prevent Di Tian from developing a Huo Yuhao-style loophole, his teacher Yi Zichen had also shoved Ye Moyong into the matchmaking niche.

He even said that even if Di Tian was a normal male, wasn't there still Bi Ji, who was going to transform and recultivate?

Chen Wuzhu would lock down Di Tian, and he would lock down Bi Ji.

In the eyes of the two teachers, that was an acceptable matter.

But Ye Moyong was not willing to accept it.

He had a girl he liked.

Fortunately, the two teachers were only matchmaking, not forcing them.

Fortunately, behind them followed a whole crowd of young handsome men and pretty young women from Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect.

So there was no need to be too upset.

Compared to the so-called matchmaking, Ye Moyong was actually more concerned about whether he could have a match with Di Tian after he transformed and recultivated.

Throughout the long sweep of history.

Many of Shrek Academy's powerful figures had gone to grind the boss Di Tian, and every one of those experts had achieved remarkable things.

He wanted to try the Di Tian boss stage too.

He did not have the sky-high ambition of the Red Lotus Witch Chen Wuzhu, who had beaten Di Tian until his teeth were scattered all over the ground, but Ye Moyong still had the desire to press Di Tian all the way down within the same level.

A sharp gleam flashed through his sword-like eyes, and the long sword in his arms resonated in response.

A confident murmur slipped from the corner of his mouth. "Once I defeat Di Tian, becoming the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils should be a sure thing."

With countless thoughts running through his mind, he walked toward the Soul Beast Forest on Elf Planet.

The elf branch academy had not been built yet.

This trip to Elf Planet was more about entering the Soul Beast Forest for fun. Who knew? Maybe he would run into the perfect chance to rope Di Tian in.

As they walked.

They ran into another group of people.

Handsome youths and beautiful young girls from the Federation's War God Temple, the Spirit Pagoda, and other Federation clans.

They were led by a red-haired girl.

Her wine-red wavy hair was combed behind her, and her large pink eyes were like a pair of dazzling gemstone crystals.

She was the anti-Di Tian special attack treasure that the Federation's War God Temple had specifically prepared, a unique existence whose true dragon bloodline and Titan bloodline had perfectly fused—"Titan Dragon."

Beside her.

There was another girl.

A natural-born beauty.

In terms of age, she was even younger than Yuanen Guangjun, yet her physical development had already surpassed Yuanen Guangjun's.

Exclusively sponsored by Qiangu Qingfeng.

The proud daughter of heaven who carried the new generation of the Qiangu clan—Qiangu Yourou.

She had the Coiling Dragon Staff martial soul with innate full soul power.

Clearly.

Compared to Shrek Academy, the Federation lacked just that little bit of experience and had not arranged things as thoroughly as Shrek Academy.

The ones leading them were two girls.

They had not considered the possibility that Di Tian, after transforming and recultivating, might fall for a boy.

Of course.

Right now, both sides' progress bars for roping Di Tian in were moving neck and neck, and they were all blocked together at the boundary marker between the human world and the soul beast world.

It was guarded by a hundred-thousand-year soul beast that could speak human language.

"You want to enter the Soul Beast Forest for fun."

"Ticket fee, eight hundred and eighty thousand Federation Coins per person."

"No bargaining."

The moment this was announced, the entire crowd burst into an uproar.

"What?!"

"You're robbing us!"

"I'm not even going in to do anything, just to take a look, and you're charging us eight hundred and eighty thousand Federation Coins!"

"The ticket price used to be six hundred and forty-eight Federation Coins!"

"I suggest you confirm this properly with your leader!"

The hundred-thousand-year soul beast lying on the boundary marker was lazy and languid.

"It was confirmed long ago."

"The price of eight hundred and eighty thousand Federation Coins was personally set by His Majesty Di Tian."

"Buying tickets is entirely voluntary."

"We absolutely won't force anyone."

They were all hot-blooded young boys and girls. How could they possibly tolerate being charged an outrageous price?

They immediately started calling people.

They also did not believe that humanity's many factions would tolerate the soul beasts setting such a high ticket price.

Including Shrek Academy, every Federation faction began calling people through satellite communications.

Yet every single one of them received the same unexpected reply.

Endure it.

And on top of that, the grand words sounded extremely nice.

Whatever the Beast God needed, the Federation would allow.

The powerful figures behind them had all accepted it, so what could the young men and women in front do? They could only grit their teeth and pay up.

At the same time, they were shaken to the core.

After all these years, this was truly the first time the Federation had bowed to soul beasts.

It also brought Yuanen Guangjun an entirely new realization.

At this time, she had not yet developed the smooth sophistication she would have in the future.

With her peerless talent, from the moment her martial soul awakened, she had been raised as her family's guardian and as a future high-level figure of the Federation.

Top-tier resources, top-tier status, top-tier treatment.

Naturally, she thought very highly of herself.

Yet her family and the Federation's War God Temple had unanimously pushed her to make contact with Di Tian. For the sake of her family and the Federation's War God Temple, she had agreed, but deep down, there had always been a hint of rebellious resistance.

Was it really necessary?

That was what she had thought before this moment.

After this moment—

Everything changed.

The ever-forceful Federation had actually backed down, even if it was only over an insignificant amount of Federation Coin.

But once it backed down, that represented a great many things.

Making contact with Di Tian in advance was very necessary.

And doing so one step ahead of Shrek was even more necessary.

Thinking again of all the adult things her elders had instilled in her before departure, when she stepped forward to pay the entrance fee, a blush could not help rising to her cheeks.

The same went for the others.

Chen Wuzhu's and Ye Moyong's arrogance was also struck down quite a bit, because their True God teachers had also told them to pay the entrance fee.

They even said something like—

The more you invest, the greater the return.

The higher the waves, the pricier the fish.

They encouraged them, saying they had to swallow Di Tian, this big fish.

They could not spend the money for nothing.

And just like that, the top young male and female geniuses of the Douluo Demi-God Realm lined up one by one, aggrieved and pitiful, to pay.

As everyone was queuing—

Someone cut in.

The dean of the Federation Academy of Science Tiandou Branch personally escorted a silver-haired woman over.

He walked dejectedly up to the hundred-thousand-year soul beast.

He did not want to hand Nana over either, but the Federal Council had issued a red-header document, so he had no choice but to carry it out.

"Hello."

"By order from above."

"I am to safely deliver 'Nana' directly to the soul beast king, Beast God Di Tian."

"And inform the Beast God that there is no need to thank us."

This time, it was not the hundred-thousand-year soul beast who answered.

Instead, a furious roar came from deep within the dense forest:

"Thank my second great-uncle's grandma's damn leg!"
