The alarm pierced the night sky, and the entire Shrek Academy instantly erupted in excitement.
Upon hearing the alarm, the burly man grinned maliciously, his Third Soul Ring suddenly lit up, and he slammed his fists, imbued with violent earth-elemental Soul Power, into the ground.
The ground undulated violently like waves, the stone steps in front of the academy gate cracked inch by inch, and several guards lost their footing and almost fell.
"Presumptuous!"
A figure in cyan robes shot out from the courtyard; it was an inner courtyard disciple who had rushed over immediately upon hearing the news.
"He's a senior from the inner academy."
"Great, these people should be gone soon."
The inner court disciple, with a cold expression, glanced at the group of troublemakers, stood with his hands behind his back, and the six Soul Ring behind him shone brightly.
"A few mere Soul King dare to cause trouble at Shrek Academy?"
"Damn, so what if you're Soul Emperor? If all of us attack together, we can definitely take you down!"
Instead of getting angry, the inner court disciple laughed. His Sixth Soul Ring lit up instantly, and with a wave of his right hand, dozens of wind blades whistled out.
" Sixth Soul Skill, Thousand Wind Slash."
In the blink of an eye, the three troublemakers at the front were instantly slashed by the wind blades, bleeding profusely, and fell to the ground screaming in agony.
The burly man was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but shout angrily:
"Damn it, we didn't do anything heinous, we just yelled a few times and used our Soul Skill to hit the door, and you actually used a killing move? You want to kill us?"
"Anyone who insults Shrek Academy will pay the price." The inner court disciple's eyes turned cold.
"Something's not right, something's very wrong. Even we know we need to control our strength, but for the sake of glory, you're willing to take other people's lives so easily?" The burly man's eyes cleared, and he immediately ordered his men to check on the injuries of those people.
"Damn it! Quick, get the medicine out and save them!"
"Don't even think about it."
The inner courtyard disciple took a step forward, unleashing a barrage of deadly moves in an instant.
"Do you know how many people have shed their blood and given their Life to defend Shrek Academy's honor? How dare you insult it?"
"I'll burn your dreams!! Bullshit glory!"
The burly man's eyes also turned red, and he roared:
"Avenge our brothers! Charge! Fight them to the death!"
On a high point in the distance.
Di Qiu'er stood with her arms crossed, looking at the chaos at the Shrek Academy gate, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad."
"It seems the results are a bit too good," Ye Guyi with some concern. "They've just started doing this?"
"... It all started because the Shrek members started killing directly," Di Qiu'er said calmly. "I don't understand, is honor that important?"
"Alright, if it were me, honor, honor... never mind, let's just consider it their spiritual pillar."
"A pillar of support..."
Di Qiu'er glanced at the gates of the Shrek Academy one last time before turning and leaving.
"Let's go. Don't forget we still need to find some people to cause trouble tomorrow."
"This is going to be a protracted war."
Ye Guyi thought about it and realized that the strategy was indeed sound.
It's similar to the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".
If this happens enough times, the people at the Shrek Academy will become desensitized and lower their guard.
The outskirts of the Shrek Academy.
Toji leaned against a shady spot, toying with the Blade of Life's Watch between his fingers, clearly having also noticed the commotion at the main gate.
"It seems they've started; it's time for me to make my move too."
A slight smile played on his lips as his figure blended into the darkness like ink, silently disappearing towards the Shrek Academy.
The patrolling trainees were nervously looking towards the main gate.
"What's going on? Why is the alarm going off?"
"I heard there was some trouble, just a few Soul King. Our inner court seniors took care of it in no time!"
"Too."
Taking advantage of their momentary distraction, a dark shadow flashed past along the base of the wall, without disturbing even a fallen leaf.
Toji's gaze swept over the academy's patrol system.
I don't know if it's because Shrek Academy has the resources to back it up.
Their defenses are actually quite weak.
How bad is it?
There are only some level six or seven reconnaissance Soul Tool, and only a few level eight ones. The rest are used for patrolling by the students, who are even spared wages and only given some points for evaluation.
They're practically free labor!
Compared to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy in Mingdu, it's like comparing heaven and earth.
This made it incredibly easy for Toji to invade.
However, one problem has stumped me Toji.
"If they were to lock Zhang Lexuan up, where would they usually lock her up?"
Toji frowned deeply and began searching for clues.
"Well, since we're going to lock Zhang Lexuan up, we should definitely bring her water and food regularly to ensure Zhang Lexuan doesn't starve to death."
Soul Master need to eat too.
Aside from high-level Soul Master, directly absorbing the energy of heaven and earth from the air is another option.
However, since the goal is to lock Zhang Lexuan up, it is essential to ensure that Zhang Lexuan has little combat power so that she cannot absorb the energy of heaven and earth to replenish her Soul Power.
But we can't let her starve to death.
So if you follow the route of delivering water and food, it should be much easier.
"It's not lunchtime yet... I'll keep looking. When it's lunchtime, I'll sneak into the cafeteria and see if I find anything."
After making a plan, Toji took a deep breath and continued to explore.
At the same time, he seized an opportunity to knock out a male inner court disciple.
They dragged him to the public toilet and changed him into his ugly school uniform.
"... None of these fit! Oh well, as long as they know I'm an inner court disciple, that's enough."
Wearing this outfit, I began searching for clues, but Toji hard I looked, I couldn't find anything.
It seems Shrek has been hiding its secrets quite well, and most students don't even know where their Grandmaster, Zhang Lexuan, has gone.
It's dinnertime...
Toji decided to try her luck at the cafeteria.
Inside the cafeteria.
Toji, dressed in an ordinary inner-school uniform, quietly stood in the line for food.
He did nothing; he simply blended quietly into the crowd.
No one noticed him.
She didn't care about him at all.
It was as if they hadn't seen him at all, like he was invisible.
Moreover, to outsiders, he was just an insignificant inner court disciple.
Soon, it was Toji's turn.
"Braised earthworm meat, stir-fried medicinal vegetables, and a bowl of dragon bone soup."
The Soul Master serving the food didn't even look up, mechanically scooping food into the plates.
Toji accepted the plate and nodded politely.
"Thanks."
The Soul Master then glanced at him, finding him somewhat unfamiliar, but with so many students coming to eat every day, she didn't think much of it, only muttering something under her breath:
"The new guy?"
Toji smiled but didn't answer, carrying her tray to an empty seat in the corner.
He walked slowly, his gaze calmly sweeping across the entire cafeteria, while his ears precisely picked up every conversation amidst the cacophony of voices.
"I heard there was trouble at the main gate yesterday?"
"Hmph, just a few drunk thugs, Lin Xiu took care of them in no time."
"By the way, did you hear? Just now, a boy was found unconscious in a public restroom, his clothes completely removed."
"Really?"
"Seriously, I heard he's been hiding in his dorm and won't come out. Look, he hasn't even come to eat yet. It's hilarious! Are there any gay men in our college?"
"It's hard to say, really hard to say."
"I think there really are gay men involved. He was stripped naked... and then passed out in the bathroom. Did they do it too roughly and knock him out?"
She was Toji bewildered by her disciples' gossip.
The next moment, Toji seemed to hear something, and his expression changed.
"This is for Grandmaster; Xuan Zi specifically instructed me to give it to her."
