Huo Yuhao climbed out of the water and onto the shore, looking at the three people facing each other.
After explaining, Xiao Xiao withdrew her Martial Soul.
Jing Ziyan immediately breathed a sigh of relief; the pressure Xiao Xiao exerted on her was still too strong.
No sooner had this explanation been given than countless streaks of light arrived from all directions, and upon closer inspection, they were all powerful figures from Shrek.
Who's causing trouble here!
Bright Phoenix Wings Behind Yan Shaozhe
Xiao Xiao stepped forward and said to him, " Dean Yan, I couldn't stop myself. Those two are Yuhao's friends."
Yan Shaozhe glanced around and confirmed that the hundred-meter-long scratch marks were indeed caused by Xiao Xiao.
Yan Shaozhe wanted to say something, but then the sky suddenly darkened, and a bright moon appeared high above everyone's heads.
A stunningly beautiful figure emerged from the Full Moon, appearing exceptionally sacred under its light.
Zhang Lexuan stepped through the void, pausing with each step, her aura restrained, yet she exuded an invisible pressure.
Her beautiful eyes swept over the crowd, and the unique aura of a person in a superior position was impossible to hide.
Zhang Lexuan raised her eyes, waved to the distance, and the several streaks of light that were rushing towards her stopped instantly. Then she turned around and left.
The weakened Ji Juechen looked at the stunning figure in the air and marveled at the terrifying power she possessed.
Zhang Lexuan looked down, her right hand now covered in a faint moonlight, and waved it towards the ruins below.
The broken walls and ruins vanished without a trace, as if melted into the air.
"Considering this is your first offense, you will not be prosecuted. Come to the Sea God Pavilion."
" Dean Yan, I'll leave the rest to you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Lexuan's figure vanished like a bubble.
The high-hanging moonlight faded, and the sky returned to its original state. If it weren't for the fact that the ruins had disappeared, one might even think it was an illusion.
Yan Shaozhe looked at the spot where Zhang Lexuan had disappeared and sighed, "A mental projection? Lexuan's strength is becoming increasingly unfathomable."
The thought of how much responsibility this child had shouldered for the academy Yan Shaozhe with even more regret that his own strength was still insufficient.
Girls at this age should be enjoying their youth; how can they bear so many responsibilities that don't belong to them?
Yan Shaozhe sighed helplessly and said to Huo Yuhao and the others, "Children, go on, the Pavilion Master is waiting for you at the Sea God Pavilion."
Jing Ziyan stared wide-eyed at the sky, unable to process what she Jiujiu witnessed. "A projection? That was just a projection? Is this Shrek?... That girl couldn't be more than a few years older than me..."
Ji Juechen remained silent, his eyes suddenly hardening, his resolve to stay and study at the Shrek Academy strengthened even further.
Xiao Xiao took Huo Yuhao's hand, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, " Yuhao, I missed you so much..."
Huo Yuhao looked at Xiao Xiao's slightly reddened eyes and gently stroked her small hand. "I'm back."
"Um."
Xiao Xiao smiled and hugged his arm tightly.
"Although now is not the time, you must spend some quality time with me this time."
"These past few years I've been kept under Xuan Zi's wing and haven't had a chance to visit you... But I'm strong now, I'm sure I can protect you."
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, reached out and pinched her nose, and said softly, "I've always known."
The four walked towards the Sea God Pavilion and soon disappeared down the path.
Yan Shaozhe transmitted his voice into the distance, and soon several inner court students arrived.
They took charge of the subsequent repair work.
Shrek has accumulated considerable strength over the years, especially in the research of Soul Tool, which has seen rapid development.
With the various Core Array that Huo Yuhao passed back over the past three years, Shrek Soul Tool has caught up with at least 60% of the Sun Moon Empire's accumulation of Soul Tool.
As for building houses and similar tasks, that's a piece of cake now; the Soul Tool in the original apartment can even be modified again.
Meanwhile, Sea God Pavilion.
The four of them had already arrived at the main hall of the Sea God Pavilion.
Here is an exquisite long table that is over ten meters long, with rows of delicate wooden chairs placed around it.
The spiritual energy within the Sea God Pavilion was even more concentrated, and Ji Juechen felt the shackles within his body slowly loosening.
Even if it's a slight improvement, it's still a real boost. If he could cultivate here, he believed he would see the opportunity to break through to the Titled Douluo level before he turned thirty.
Who would have thought that within the Sea God Pavilion, there is actually a low-budget version of the Lake of Life Huo Yuhao entrusted to Zhang Lexuan for secret construction?
By placing a piece of Gold of Life the size of a head beneath Sea God Island, a treasure trove was artificially created.
The main hall here is located at the very top of the Gold of Life, which is why Ji Juechen had this feeling.
The four looked towards the other end of the long table, only to see Zhang Lexuan had appeared opposite them at some point.
Five figures were sitting next to her; upon closer inspection, they were all familiar faces.
Two women sat on either side of Zhang Lexuan. One had long hair cascading down her back and was surrounded by a light mist. Her icy beauty made people afraid to approach her.
The woman on the other side had a neat short haircut, and her smile always gave off a cool vibe.
The two were Ling Luochеn and Xi Xi.
As for those sitting on the side, they were all familiar faces: two identical twin sisters, the two goddesses of the inner courtyard, Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er.
There were also a few classmates I hadn't seen in a long time, who were also the other members of the current Shrek Seven Devils: Ning Tian and Wu Feng.
Ning Tian had grown her hair long at some point, and her eyebrows and eyes exuded a classical beauty. She had a well-proportioned figure, like a young lady from a wealthy family who had not yet married. She covered her mouth and smiled as she looked at Huo Yuhao.
Wu Feng's face had softened considerably, and her curvaceous figure gave her a mature, sophisticated air. Her fiery red eyes widened in shock followed by delight as she stared intently at Huo Yuhao.
And Jiang Nannan, formerly the most beautiful girl in the Foreign Languages Department, is still radiant.
Every gesture she makes exudes a unique charm.
Xi Xi smiled and nodded at Huo Yuhao, saying, " Yuhao, long time no see."
Ling Luochеn also looked at Huo Yuhao and said with a faint smile, "Long time no see."
The others also wanted to greet Huo Yuhao, but they were intimidated by the aura emanating from Zhang Lexuan and did not speak.
Jing Ziyan watched this scene, raising an eyebrow as she looked at Huo Yuhao with surprise.
Her intuition told her from the eyes of these girls that, apart from Xiao Xiao from earlier and Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er whom she had met before, all of these girls had feelings for Huo Yuhao.
He thought to himself, "Dude, with all these ladies' man charms, you must be some kind of sea king!"
Even the person in the main seat had a strange look in their eyes, but she didn't think about it that way. After all, this was the person in charge of the Shrek Academy, so it was unlikely.
I think I misread it.
After everyone was seated, Zhang Lexuan tapped her finger on the table, and a sandbox map of the entire continent rose up on the table.
Everyone saw a conspicuous red dot marked at the easternmost point of the continent; the red dot was near the sea and located at the very edge of the continent.
Zhang Lexuan slowly began to speak, "The border between the Dou Ling Empire and the Star Luo Empire is where Ma Xiaotao, an inner court student, was last seen before she disappeared. At that time, many people were dispatched to search for her, but there was no trace of her."
"Just recently, a strange phenomenon occurred in that area. According to nearby villagers, when they woke up, they saw the coastline covered with the corpses of Sea Soul Beast, with countless Soul Ring floating on top of them, indicating that they hadn't been dead for long."
"These Sea Soul Beast only appear in the deep sea and never on the coastline. The strangest thing is that these Sea Soul Beast are all burned to death."
" Ma Xiaotao is the owner of the Ultimate Fire Martial Soul, and I suspect she's closely related to this matter, or perhaps she's conveying some kind of information. Furthermore, we discovered that some of these Soul Beast died tragically, seemingly due to the methods of Evil Soul Master."
"So," Zhang Lexuan looked at Jing Ziyan and Ji Juechen, and said, "Your entrance exam is to find out the cause, solve the problem, and find the Evil Soul Master. Huo Yuhao and the others are your teammates."
"We'll depart the next day, with Ling Luochеn as captain and Xi Xi as vice-captain."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Lexuan had already left without anyone noticing.
Only Jing Ziyan and Ji Juechen were still processing the large amount of information they had just received.
