"Idiot, what are you doing?"
"We don't have much time left."
Medmus leaned against the dormitory doorframe, arms crossed, quietly watching Bai E frantically searching for clothes inside.
"Partner, don't panic, let me find that outfit."
"That's the battle suit Brother Huo sent me a while ago!"
"I haven't even worn it yet."
"Haha, found it!"
Bai E's eyes sparkled like stars as he held up a black trench coat, almost jumping for joy.
He shook the coat, then draped it over his shoulders, opened his arms, and closed his eyes to sense the Dao of the strong!
"That's it! Medemos!"
"I can feel the power transmitted from Brother Huo!"
"I see it! So this is the scenery Brother Huo saw!"
"With this battle suit, even if there are a thousand evil soul masters in front of me, I can protect everyone!"
Medemos looked at the awkward movements and awkward lines inside, and the outfit that made his eyebrows twitch. A "well" appeared on Medemos's forehead. "
Is there no one left in Shrek Academy that you care about?"
"Black, yellow, and purple, you look like a billboard in a bar on the street!"
"Change me into some normal clothes!"
"Bang~"
Medemos slammed the door shut, and a little dust fell from the ceiling, successfully making the strange creature disappear from his sight.
Then he leaned against the door and waited quietly for Bai E to come out.
Every now and then, a few first-year students who were in a hurry to go to the teaching building passed by.
When they saw Medemos, they nodded slightly. No one in the entire academy did not know the reputation of "Ten Thousand Enemies".
Almost no one in the outer academy could defeat Medemos in a one-on-one fight.
As long as the opponent is in the Soul Arena, students challenging Medemos can line up from the Soul Arena area all the way to the teaching area.
"Don't take the main academy road to the teaching building; it's under renovation there and will take a long time."
Several first-year students hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly thanked Medemos and took another route.
"Bang!"
The wooden door of dormitory 108 groaned under the weight once more, and Bai E, now dressed in normal clothes, appeared before Medemos.
"Let's go, partner!"
"Don't keep everyone waiting!"
Medemos and Bai E walked along the academy path leading to the Soul Arena.
Bai E looked at the earth-attribute soul masters coming and going around them.
These soul masters were the Shrek City construction team, led by a titled Douluo-level earth-attribute soul master, working with a design master invited from Xilu City to renovate the entire Shrek Academy.
It was said that Ms. Gu Yuena, the enthusiastic director stationed in Shrek City, also participated in the design.
"Madmus, Shrek Academy is getting more and more lively."
"There are so many people here."
Madmus followed Bai'er's gaze to the civil engineering students.
"After all, this is an unprecedented large-scale reform."
"It's normal for things to be big."
Bai'er quickened his pace slightly to keep up with Madmus.
"I just wonder when they'll renovate our dormitories too."
"Many places have such a thick patina."
"I heard from some senior students that Shrek Academy's toilets are four thousand years old."
"The last large-scale renovation was four thousand years ago."
"By the way, have you seen the Soul Spirit video posted by 'Yege' on the Magic Network recently?"
"I didn't expect that something that can replace Soul Rings would actually appear now."
"That's wonderful!"
Medemos glanced at Bai E and said,
"I saw it."
"I just don't know when it will be open to the public on a large scale."
"The teachers are already fully prepared to engage with Soul Spirits."
"We're too close to the Star Dou Great Forest; Soul Spirit technology might be a good thing."
Bai E revealed a mysterious smile and quietly approached Medemos, saying,
"Xia Die told me a while ago that the person performing Soul Spirit fusion in the video was Sister Su Tong."
"Soul Spirit technology was developed out of passion."
Medemos's golden eyes remained calm, as if he already knew about this.
"I know."
"Xia Die told me too."
"All five of us know about this; just don't spread it around."
Bai E nodded, smiling, and said,
"Of course."
The two had already arrived at the Soul Battle Zone during their conversation.
Since Shrek Academy decided to start reforms, the Soul Battle Zone had introduced many Soul Guidance Devices to assist in monitoring students' situations, which had been well received by the academy's teachers and students.
Inside the Soul Arena, Feng Jin and the others had already lined up.
Among them were seven unfamiliar faces, wearing uniforms completely different from those of the outer academy—they wore blood-red uniforms.
The two who frequently trained on Seagod Island quickly recognized these as the inner academy disciples' uniforms, and the identities of the seven were self-evident: they were Shrek Academy's regular members.
Xuan Zi waved to the two, signaling them to join the line.
Bai E hurriedly waved back, standing next to Tibo with Madmos.
Seeing that everyone was present, Xuan Zi addressed the crowd:
"Yes, all fourteen are here."
"Let me explain first. There are still ten days until the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.
The reason I brought you all to the Soul Arena today is to allow you, the regular members and reserve members, to meet."
"Let's not waste any time. Let's start with the regular members; each of you introduce yourselves."
A fiery woman with long red hair was the first to step forward, her delicate face bearing the lingering fatigue.
"Inner Court, Ma Xiaotao, Level 61 Power Attack-type Soul Emperor."
This was none other than Yan Shaozhe's top disciple, the true embodiment of Shrek Academy's strange tales.
However, in this world, without the help of the Ultimate Ice to vent her evil fire, Mu En was even more serious, strictly controlling Ma Xiaotao's cultivation time.
This resulted in her soul power only reaching level 61, and even this level was only achieved after Yan Shaozhe begged Mu En to let her advance; otherwise, she might only be at the Quasi-Soul Emperor level.
The next one was a male student who looked somewhat similar to Dai Huabin, but with a more composed temperament and a taller stature.
"Dai Yueheng, Level 64 Power Attack-type Soul Emperor."
This was the eldest son of the Dai family, ranked seventh on Huo Yuhao's Douluo Must-Eat List. His inclusion on the list was purely due to the influence of the second son of the Dai family.
It's worth mentioning that the previous six were, in order: Dai Huabin, Duchess of White Tiger, Tang San, Dai Hao, A Yin, and Tang Hao.
Dai Yueheng glanced at Maidemus and Bai E, and nodded slightly to them.
Others might not know, but he knew that these two were the personal disciples of the Sea God Pavilion Master.
As his father had said, the future leader of the Sea God Pavilion would basically be one of two people.
Next up was Ling Luochen, who introduced himself in a cold and arrogant voice.
"Ling Luochen, level 55, Control-type Soul King."
The other four introduced themselves in turn, a typical arrangement from the normal timeline, nothing surprising.
These seven people—two Soul Emperors and five Soul Kings—could basically sweep the entire competition if nothing unexpected happened.
Bai E and the others also began to introduce themselves and their levels.
Of the seven, only Huo Suier and Wang Dong had broken through to level 30.
Ling Luochen and the others were shocked by the students' youth; they were all first- and second-year students, but no one questioned their strength.
The title "Ten Thousand Enemies" was widely known in the inner courtyard. Bai E hadn't fought many battles, so his reputation wasn't as resounding as that of Maidemos.
Seeing this, Xuanzi addressed both sides:
"Now that you're familiar with each other,"
"Prepare for the next round,"
"I call it a mixed-team battle!"
"Ma Xiaotao, and Dai Yueheng, I've explained the rules to you both beforehand."
"Choose yourselves, and then prepare for ten minutes before starting."
Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng stepped forward to select their team members.
Bai E and Maidemos were unsurprisingly assigned to two teams.
Ma Xiaotao's team consisted of Bai E, Feng Jin, Xi Xi, Gongyang Mo, Xia Die, and Wang Dong—a balanced distribution with someone in each position.
Dai Yueheng's team consisted of Maidemos, Ti Bao, Yao Haoxuan, Ling Luochen, Chen Zifeng, and Huo Suier—a team leaning towards a strong offensive.
Soon, after both sides finalized their tactics, the battle began.
Different martial souls, different soul skills, and different soul powers clashed fiercely in the Soul Battle Zone, occasionally punctuated by the roars of tigers and the cries of phoenixes. The battle
raged from day to night, leaving all fourteen individuals with wounds.
Feng Jin summoned her martial soul, and a rainbow light enveloped everyone present, healing their injuries.
Ling Luochen, looking at the rainbow halo around him, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"As expected of the renowned 'Dim Light Healer' of the Heavenly Dou Plains, this healing power is simply unprecedented."
Dai Yueheng and Ma Xiaotao nodded in agreement.
This cute, pink-haired girl not only possessed terrifying control over wind elements, but her healing abilities were also unparalleled.
Dai Yueheng didn't have many complaints about Bai E and the others.
His relationship with Dai Huabin wasn't exactly brotherly, but they were practically strangers; to put it bluntly, they were even rivals.
Feng Jin, meanwhile, swayed her pink twin ponytails, her voice remaining clear and lively.
"Hey, senior, do you know me?"
Ling Luochen's beautiful face, as cold as frost, revealed a faint smile.
"I heard of you when I went out on a surveillance mission before."
"An inner court disciple even received your treatment back then."
"I haven't had a chance to thank you yet."
"I thank you on her behalf."
Feng Jin quickly waved her hand and said gently,
"Not at all, healing patients is a doctor's duty!"
Xuanzi looked at the harmonious group and nodded, then came to the group.
Everyone saw Xuanzi arrive and quickly stood up and lined up.
"Ahem."
"It seems the Soul Battle is over." "
According to the procedure, I should ask you if you are willing to join the Shrek Surveillance Group."
"I won't ask you kids, Sui'er, you've all definitely joined."
Wang Dong, are you willing to join the Shrek Surveillance Group?" " With
the Magic Network so advanced, I don't need to explain what the Shrek Surveillance Group is, right?"
"Young people these days post all sorts of information online, they have no sense of confidentiality at all."
Wang Dong, a veteran netizen! Having practically spent 25 hours a day immersed in the magic network, Xuanzi naturally knew information related to the Shrek Academy's inspection team.
"Of course! I'll join!"
Xuanzi nodded, waving his hand to toss seven rings to Bai E and the others, saying,
"This is the symbol of the inspection team, and also a storage soul tool. Remember to keep it safe."
"The academy has recently been promoting a culture of less talk and more action, so I won't say anything inciting the atmosphere; you probably wouldn't like it anyway."
"We were supposed to set off now, leading you on your first inspection mission, targeting a bandit gang in the Mingdou Mountains."
"However, for safety's sake, I've asked Elder Song to accompany us."
"Elder Song is currently sparring with Elder Zhuang. Those two fight every few days; we'll be setting off tomorrow anyway."
"Listen up! Everyone, assemble at the Soul Fighting Zone at 7:00 AM tomorrow!
We're heading to the Mingdou Mountains together."
"Meeting adjourned!"
Xuanzi pulled Huo Sui'er away, disappearing from the spot, intending to find Elder Song.
Originally, only Elder Xuan was supposed to accompany them, but considering this year's reserve team was exceptional, Bai E and Maidemus were included.
Elder Song, hearing that Feng Jin was in the team, was worried about that old man Xuanzi and volunteered to accompany them.
If something happened to the reserve team, Shrek Academy's future would essentially be half ruined.
After Xuanzi left, the group gradually left the Soul Arena.
Feng Jin and the other members added each of the regular team members as friends on the Magic Network, preparing to exchange ideas later.
At this moment, Xia Die quietly approached Ti Bao, her voice ethereal and gentle.
"Um, Teacher Ti Bao, I need your help with something."
Ti Bao shook her red hair and smiled.
"Xiaodie, no need for polite language."
"What help do you need? Leave it to me!"
Xiaodie nodded obediently, a little embarrassed, and said,
"Could you open the Hundred Realms Gate for me?
I want to go back to my home in Xilu City and bring the Shadow Cat with me."
"Father sent me a video a few days ago saying that the Shadow Cat has been eating and drinking excessively while we were all away, and its weight is skyrocketing."
"I want to bring it along to supervise its diet."
Tibao recalled the big fat cat at Xiaodie's house, somewhat surprised.
"Sigh, Xiaodie, that big cat can actually get fat?"
"Hmm! Leave it to me!"
"The academy doesn't prohibit pets anyway."
Tibao gently stretched out her little hand, and the Hundred Realms Gate opened in front of her. Xiaodie bowed slightly to Tibao and stepped inside.
...
"Sister, so the Spirit Ice Douluo from tens of thousands of years ago was actually our father?!"
"That legendary God of Emotions!"
"Sister, were you a god before?!"
"Why did you keep it from me?"
"Am I the only ordinary person in the family?"
Huo Zhanji and Dai Ying met up some time ago and decided to head straight to Xilu City to find Huo Yuhao.
Dai Ying surveyed the streets of Xilu City, her expression grave.
"Those things aren't the point right now."
"At this stage, Dad shouldn't have become the Spirit Ice Douluo yet." "
But the Spirit Ice Douluo is already famous throughout the Magic Network, and his appearance is indeed Father's.
Recently, even Soul Spirit technology has appeared."
"This timeline is strange!"
"Anyway, let's go find Dad for help first."
"Otherwise, with our current strength, it will be difficult to find the truth on this continent!"
"Bloodline doesn't lie; he'll definitely recognize him!"
"I've already found out where the Spirit Ice Douluo's home is on the Magic Network!"
Death Messenger: I admit you're well-prepared, but what if the main team members recklessly court death?
