Mission? Sea God Village!

Time flies, and a full week has passed since Xiang Jun and the others were selected for the reserve team. The day to depart for Star Luo City is getting closer and closer.

During this period, everyone has been training, and each of them has experienced the power of Sea God's Elbow Strike to some extent.

Just one day before departure, Xiang Jun, who had just finished training, suddenly caught a glimpse of a very familiar, plump and pretty figure in the audience.

"Sister Ruoruo, what brings you here?" Xiang Jun asked instinctively, her expression blank.

"What do you mean 'how did I get through this'? As a homeroom teacher, it's perfectly reasonable for me to care about my lovely students, isn't it?"

Han Ruoruo first gave Xiang Jun a charmingly disdainful look before revealing the purpose of her visit. "Come with me. Don't forget to bring Tang Wutong and Gu Yuena; someone wants to see you."

Xiang Jun nodded slightly and waved to the two women who were staring at each other.

"Oh, Teacher Ruoruo?"

Seeing Han Ruoruo's smiling face, Tang Wutong let out a soft exclamation, Gu Yuena also showed a hint of curiosity.

"You three little ones, come with me. Someone wants to see you." Han Ruoruo smiled gently, then walked deeper into Sea God Island.

Xiang Jun and the other two followed closely behind.

Before long, the group of four arrived at the absolute core of the Shrek Academy, the Sea God Pavilion.

"This is the Golden Ancient Tree? It doesn't look that great." Tang Wutong pouted and muttered to herself.

Compared to the Life Ancient Tree in the Divine Realm, the Golden Ancient Tree was instantly reduced to nothing.

Gu Yuena curiously surveyed her surroundings. With her powerful Spiritual Power, she sensed that within the Golden Ancient Tree, there were many powerful auras comparable to those of Ferocious Beast.

They walked straight into the Sea God Pavilion, and under Han Ruoruo's guidance, finally stopped in front of a wooden door.

"Mu En is looking for me?" Looking at the wooden door in front of her, a look of understanding flashed in Xiang Jun's eyes.

"You may go in."

After gesturing to Xiang Jun, Han Ruoruo went to stand in front of him, lightly tapped the latter's chest with her jade-like finger, and said in a reproachful tone, "Come visit your teacher in the Outer Court more often. You really aren't cute at all."

After letting out a soft hum, under the suspicious gazes of Gu Yuena and Tang Wutong, Han Ruoruo turned and left the Sea God Pavilion.

"Hey, you bastard, you're not hiding something from me, are you? Tell me the truth right now!" Tang Wutong's face was scrutinizing, and the exaggerated cleavage on Han Ruoruo's chest made her feel a sense of crisis.

Even Gu Yuena looked suspicious.

"I, Xiang Jun, am not afraid of a straight shadow even when I am crooked. What on earth are you thinking about all day long?"

Xiang Jun was speechless and was about to knock on the door when an old voice suddenly came from inside the room.

"Come in, child."

Inside the room, Mu En was gazing out the window, admiring the scenery of Sea God Island that he had seen for countless years.

The three entered the room, Tang Wutong immediately spotted Mu En on the recliner.

"Hey, isn't that the paralyzed old man in front of the Dormitory building?" Tang Wutong blinked in confusion, and her thunderous remark immediately made Xiang Jun's forehead crease with black lines.

If you can talk, then talk more!

Gu Yuena, standing to the side, also looked surprised, and a hint of seriousness flashed in her eyes.

At this moment, Mu En was different from the old man in front of the Dormitory building; he did not conceal his aura as a Limit Douluo.

This is the strongest person Gu Yuena has ever seen, aside from Di Tian.

"Hahaha, this old man had an accident when he was young, and now he'll never be able to stand up again." Mu En laughed heartily after hearing this, his aged face showing no blame, only a somewhat forlorn expression.

Looking at Xiang Jun and the other two in front of him, Mu En couldn't help but fall into memories, recalling the days when he was young and traveled the continent with Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui.

However, in the end, he was outdone by his good friend...

"After much thought, I believe no one is more suitable for this task than you."

Coming to his senses, Mu En shakily pulled a scroll from his robes and continued, "Although you are still Outer Court students, you have long since met the requirements for the Inner Court assessment. Consider this mission as your preliminary assessment for entering the Inner Court."

"After completing the mission, you will become part of the Inner Court once this competition concludes."

Inner Court?!

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena and Tang Wutong immediately showed joy.

The two had been thinking about how to join the Inner Court so that Xiang Jun could get rid of her current situation of living with a man, but they never expected that the opportunity would come to them on its own.

"But Mu En, tomorrow is the day we depart for Star Luo City. Won't that delay the competition's schedule?" Xiang Jun asked, voicing her concern as she took the scroll.

"It's alright. After you finish your mission, just head straight to Star Luo City. If you're quick, you might even make it to the opening ceremony. With Xiaotao around, there shouldn't be any problems with the competition."

That being said, for some reason, Mu En suddenly felt his eyelids twitching wildly, as if something bad was about to happen.

Xiang Jun:...

However, this time, that old man Xuanzi is Xuan Zi!

Thinking of the strongest Soul King in the original work, whose single artistic move was an explosion that almost wiped out the Shrek Academy team, Xiang Jun couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

It can only be said that having Xuan Zi as a protector is truly a blessing.

"If there's nothing else, you can go back and prepare. We'll leave first thing tomorrow morning."

"This junior takes his leave." Xiang Jun nodded lightly, and led Gu Yuena and Tang Wutong out of the room.

Watching the backs of Xiang Jun and the other two, Mu En suddenly felt a pang of emotion.

All three are geniuses, one in a thousand years, in terms of both the quality of their Martial Soul and their cultivation talent. Acquiring any one of them would guarantee Shrek Academy's well-being for the next hundred years.

Unfortunately, Tang Wutong is a member of the Clear Sky Sect.

After leaving the Sea God Pavilion, Xiang Jun curiously took out the scroll, and the two women beside her immediately came over.

Inspection Team Mission: Traces of a suspected Evil Soul Master have been spotted. Please proceed to eliminate them.

Location: Northwest of the Heavenly Soul Empire, Fasinuo Province, Sea God Village.

Sea God... Village?

After reading the task details, Xiang Jun's expression became somewhat strange.

Because the predecessor of Sea God Village was the once famous Holy Soul Village!

As the place where Tang San awakened his Martial Soul, Sea God Village has now become a well-known tourist destination on the continent, with Sea God Festival every month to commemorate God King Tang's ascension to the Divine Realm.

"Wow, it's Sea God Village! I've wanted to go there for ages!" Tang Wutong excitedly waved her little pink fist, her heart filled with anticipation for the mission ahead.

Gu Yuena narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and glanced at Tang Wutong without making a sound.

Tang Wutong showed extraordinary interest in anything related to the Sea God, and sometimes even displayed an expression of pride and satisfaction.

This made Gu Yuena, who possessed Peerless Wisdom, realize that something was amiss.

Could it be because of Xiang Jun?

Her intuition told her that Tang Wutong definitely had a secret!
