Once they emerged from the vortex, the group saw Qian Yu sitting on the sofa...
They each found a place to sit down, and Ningtian asked curiously, "Elder Qian Yu, where did you go? We were looking for you and couldn't find you anywhere!"
Wu Feng nodded in agreement, his complexion flushed as he said, "Yeah, we asked so many people and all they said was that you were swimming downstream of Sea God's Lake."
Qian Yu smiled and replied, "Is that so? I just went to the Hao Tian Clan and I've just returned."
Xiao Xiao blinked her beautiful eyes and inquired, "Why do I feel like you're in a much better mood, Elder Qian Yu? Is it just my imagination?"
Dai Yaoheng deeply agreed, "I also think that Elder Qian Yu seems much more relaxed after this trip. Did you have a successful meeting with Dong'er's parents?"
He Caitou said honestly, "Yeah! I felt it too, Elder Qian Yu doesn't speak with a cold tone anymore!"
Qian Yu glanced at the few people, "Enough about me, what about all of you? Don't tell me you just spent a boring day at Shrek Academy?"
But actually, this seems like meeting the parents too, isn't Tang San Wang Dong'er's father?
Ningtian pouted unhappily, "Of course not, we were all pulled into teaching the students at Shrek Academy!"
Although their soul power ranks had reached Soul Emperor and Soul Sage, indeed qualifying them to teach the outer courtyard students of Shrek Academy, there's a difference between being qualified and being dragged into it!
Wu Feng rubbed his legs and said, "Right, completely exhausted from the non-stop day! And those students kept asking questions, especially when they heard we were representing Shrek Academy in the Continental Young Elite Soul Masters Championship!"
Qian Yu was taken aback, "That's great, perhaps the students you taught might represent Shrek Academy in competitions in the future too?"
If these people really taught, it would have been decent enough if they didn't corrupt anyone!
Hearing Ningtian and Wu Feng's words, Dai Yaoheng replied irritably, "Give me a break, you two. It was basically Ling Luoshang, He Caitou, and I who did the teaching, while you guys just watched from the side and still felt tired?"
Suddenly, there came hurried knocking sounds from outside the door, "Thump thump thump!"
Instantly, the faces of Shrek's Companions turned grave, ready to spring into action at any moment!
If they hadn't left quickly the last time, they feared it would have been the six of them who perished!
So they already had a shadow of fear...
Noticing their reaction, Qian Yu spoke up, "Don't worry, it's Huo Yuhao!"
Upon hearing Qian Yu's words, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Feng slowly went to open the door...
"Crack!"
They saw Huo Yuhao burst in frantically, his gaze bypassing everyone else and fixed straight on Qian Yu, "Qian Yu, I've finally waited for you to return!"
Qian Yu looked at Huo Yuhao's cheeks, which seemed so sullen that water might drip from them, and asked, "What happened?"
Dai Yaoheng teased, "What's the rush, Junior Brother Yuhao?"
Xiao Xiao also inquired, "Yuhao, don't tell me Tang Sect has been eliminated? Surely there aren't any teams stronger than yours, right?"
Seeing their joking expressions, Huo Yuhao couldn't bring himself to smile at all, and said with a gloomy tone, "It's not us who got eliminated. The team we fought earlier from Xuan Ming Sect was comprised of evil Soul Masters. We all let our guard down and ended up heavily injured!"
This time, Xuan Ming Sect had disguised themselves too well. The battle started off normally, but as the opponents suddenly released a range soul skill, the unsuspecting Tang Sect companions were instantly seriously injured, although they managed to defeat their opponents in a desperate struggle...
As Huo Yuhao finished his words, several gasps of "What??!" filled the room.
Qian Yu's pupils shrank, "Let's go, let's go downstairs and see for ourselves!"
Following that, the Shrek Academy group quickly stood up and headed toward the Tang Sect's room downstairs...
…
Qian Yu pushed open the door and walked in, only to see the room enveloped in a deathly stillness...
Tang Ya looked at the people coming in and said weakly, "Qian Yu, you're here?"
Xu Sanshi sighed, "This time, Tang Sect has suffered too greatly! That damned Xuan Ming Sect...ouch... that really hurt," he said, clutching at his flesh.
Jiang Nannan pursed her lips, "Up till now, Beibei hasn't woken up, and we don't know how to heal. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to even think about participating in the next match."
Qian Yu's gaze turned towards Wang Dong'er, who was holding her shoulder, and he approached with concern, "Dong'er, are you alright?"
Her once white shoulder was now stained with crimson blood...
Wang Dong'er shook her head, her beautiful violet eyes noticeably dimmer...
She then looked towards Beibei, who lay on the bed showing no signs of awakening, "I'm fine, it's just Big Brother Beibei... he..."
Qian Yu gently stroked her hair, "Don't worry, Big Brother Beibei is just in a coma, he hasn't sustained a fatal injury!"
The moment he entered, he had used Divine Power to sense the injuries of every Tang Sect member!
Tang Ya, Beibei, Xu Sanshi were seriously injured!
Wang Dong'er, Jiang Nannan, Ma Xiaotao, Huo Yuhao had sustained minor injuries...
Shrek's companions standing behind them didn't know what to say upon seeing the shocking injuries of the Tang Sect members...
Even a Tang Sect with two Soul Douluo warriors suffered so grievously at the hands of Xuan Ming Sect; had it not been for Qian Yu's assistance, just relying on themselves would have resulted in even more terrible injuries!
Qian Yu shot He Caitou a glance, "He Big Brother, I'll have to trouble you!"
Within both teams, the only one with healing soul skills was He Caitou!
"Hmm!" He Caitou nodded, understanding.
The next moment, he spoke urgently, "I've got a Silver Snow Cigar!"
"I've got a Silver Snow Cigar!"
...
After shouting the somewhat embarrassing incantation seven times, seven silver-glowing cigars appeared in his hand...
He then distributed them to the Tang Sect members...
Under their puzzled gazes, he explained, "Guys, this is my soul skill, the cigar. It has healing properties!"
Xu Sanshi eyed the cigar in his hand skeptically, "This thing has healing powers? It doesn't seem very reliable."
It was somewhat hard to believe, as this item didn't resemble the direct healing methods of other support-class Soul Masters.
Tang Ya put the cigar in her mouth, "Just try it! It might actually work!"
Seeing this, the others also put the cigars to their lips...
After exhaling a puff of smoke, a green glow enveloped the six people's bodies...
Their internal injuries began to heal at a remarkably fast pace...
Xu Sanshi exclaimed in surprise, "Hey! I didn't expect He Caitou's Martial Soul to have healing abilities! I underestimated you before!"
Wang Dong'er also praised, "Yes, He Big Brother! Your healing ability is really strong!"
Tang Ya smiled, "This healing soul skill is indeed effective; I feel much lighter all over!"
She then went to Beibei's side, took a puff of the cigar, and lightly kissed him, transferring the smoke into Beibei's mouth...
The room filled with the sound of sharp intakes of breath... "Sssss..."
...
