Shrek City area remained bustling with activity, a constant flow of people driven by profit, though emotions were often mixed in as well.
The intricacies of human relationships were on full display at this moment.
"Selling steamed buns! Selling steamed buns!"
The figures flying in from the horizon gradually became clearer, and finally all of them landed. Leading them was an old man who was dressed fairly neatly.
Several deans were already waiting outside the Shrek Academy.
There was Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Soul Tool Academy, and Qian Duoduo, the vice dean, as well as Cai Mei'er, the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department.
" Xuan Zi, how did the competition go?" Qian Duoduo and the others went up to him.
Xian Lin'er stood in front of the Shrek Seven Devils. At this moment Yan Shaozhe from the group also came out and smiled and nodded at her.
After taking a sip of wine, Xuan Zi burst into laughter, his joy evident on his face.
"Haha! They performed exceptionally well this time. The championship of the Continental Soul Fighting Tournament is undoubtedly ours."
"Now that I've successfully brought them back, this old man will take his leave first. You all should have a good chat with them."
After saying that, Xuan Zi returned to the academy first. He had some matters to discuss with the elders at the Sea God Pavilion, so he didn't plan to linger here.
Although Shrek's substitutes didn't play this time, they were still very proud and happy to see Cao Yu and his team win the championship.
He Caitou and Xu Sanshi were still laughing non-stop, and of course Cao Jinxuan and Zhou Sichen were no exception.
After staying there for four or five minutes, everyone got a general understanding of the details of the competition.
Xian Lin'er smiled and said, "Welcome home, everyone!"
"Let's go back to the Sea God Pavilion. The elders have prepared another reward for you."
Then Xian Lin'er teased Cao Yu, "I doubt Boss Cao would care about these rewards, would he?"
"Ha, look at you, who would complain about having too many rewards, right?"
In any case, the more the better for Cao Yu.
After arriving at the Sea God Pavilion, everyone received their own reward.
A moment later, Cao Yu came out from inside. At this moment, Wang Qiu'er asked curiously:
" Cao Yu, what good things did they reward you with this time?"
"Hey! A 100,000-year-old right leg Soul Bone, do you want it? I don't need it anymore anyway."
As he spoke, he tossed the Soul Bone into Wang Qiu'er's hands.
This drew envious glances from He Caitou and Xu Sanshi, who were standing nearby.
Good heavens, a 100,000-year-old Soul Bone is given away so easily! Now they all want to become girls and be Cao Yu's girlfriends.
Before long, everyone felt the temperature around them gradually rise.
The air grew increasingly hot, and the red figure in the distance seemed to grow larger and larger.
Finally, she flew directly over Sea God Lake, then flew to Cao Yu, embraced him tightly, and then unfurled fiery red wings on her back, saying to Wang Qiu'er:
" Qiu'er, I'll borrow Little Yu for a while, and return her to you tomorrow. Bye-bye."
She moved her pretty hand, and before he could answer, she led him away from there in the blink of an eye.
In mid-air, Cao Yu was held in her arms, without saying a word.
But after a short while, the woman kissed his face, " Little Yu..."
The woman increased her flying speed; she was getting closer and closer to where she lived, but she seemed to be getting more and more anxious.
After a while, the area outside the Sea God Pavilion was filled with people. At this time, Wang Dong'er, Tang Ya, Ning Tian, Jiang Nannan, Xiao Xiao, and Bei Bei had all come out.
Everyone received their own reward.
Seeing that Cao Yu wasn't outside, Tang Ya and the others looked at Wang Qiu'er with suspicion.
Where is Little Yu Feather?
"Yeah, where did they go? How could they disappear in the blink of an eye?"
Wang Qiu'er smiled helplessly and said, " Sister Xiaotao came by just now and said she wants to borrow Cao Yu's time from us for a day."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao blushed and couldn't help but think, " Brother Yu must have gone off to do something naughty with Sister Xiaotao."
" Sister Xiaotao is truly worthy of her Xiaotao!" The women couldn't help but admire her in their hearts. She was so straightforward and direct. It seemed they should learn from Sister Xiaotao.
At this moment, not only Tang Ya thought so, but Jiang Nannan, Ning Tian, Wang Dong'er, and Xiao Xiao were no exception.
Wang Qiu'er seemed to be pondering something as well; they were both making their own plans.
Bei Bei walked up to Xu Sanshi and his group and said, "Let's go first, we won't join in the fun."
"Let's go, let's go drink! We buddies are going to celebrate first."
Inside the main hall of the Sea God Pavilion, all the elders sat upright in their respective seats, including Deans Yan Shaozhe Xian Lin'er.
Mu En, seated at the head of the table, slowly spoke, " Xuan Zi, are you saying that the Holy Spirit Cult is colluding with the Sun Moon Empire? And it's very likely that they are their State Preceptor Sect?"
Xuan Zi nodded after hearing this and said, "That's right. I also saw Dragon Emperor Douluo, Long Xiaoyao. He was standing next to Xu Tianran, the current regent of the Sun Moon Empire, when the competition started."
The elders frowned, and Elder Zhuang, standing to the side, said with a serious expression:
"Now these Evil Soul Master are colluding with the Sun Moon Empire, what should we do?"
Elder Lin, also frowning, said, "Once the imperial forces are involved, things will become very difficult. Eradicating these Evil Soul Master will be even more challenging."
In fact, there was another important thread in the hearts of all the elders, and that was the Dragon Emperor Douluo, Long Xiaoyao.
This is an extremely dangerous individual; his relationship with Mu En is quite extraordinary!
At this moment Yan Shaozhe spoke up, saying, "Esteemed elders and teachers, I personally believe this is not difficult to handle."
"Oh? Then Yan Shaozhe, why don't you share your thoughts?"
Mu En turned to look at him, and the other elders also wanted to hear Yan Shaozhe's thoughts at this moment.
"Actually, the fact that the former king of the Sun Moon Empire is seriously ill is good news for us, and Xu Tianran becoming the regent is even better news."
Xian Lin'er asked, puzzled, "How is this great news? Once Xu Tianran comes to power, given his personality, he'll definitely launch a war prematurely. Isn't that bad news?"
The elders nodded in agreement, clearly indicating that they were unwilling to see the Sun Moon Empire launch a war prematurely.
After all, every imperial war resulted in the deaths of a large number of people, and it was only the ordinary civilians who suffered.
"But don't forget Cao Yu, he's a variable, after all, his relationship with the Star Luo Empire is extraordinary."
"Moreover, he has already provided the Sun Moon Empire with the new weapons we developed, and I've heard that the entire Star Luo Empire's legions are already equipped with them."
"Those weapons are so powerful that even ordinary people can use them. The Star Luo Empire is practically a nation of soldiers, so how could the Sun Moon Empire possibly win?"
"If the Sun Moon Empire surrenders, won't those Evil Soul Master of the Holy Spirit Cult be lambs to the slaughter?"
