The rest listened and fell into silence…
Indeed, the difference between a level 4 and level 5 blacksmith, although only one level, is incomparable in terms of skill!
Xu Yucheng stretched lazily and said indifferently, "Now that Gu Yue has secured the position of class leader, let's not think about isolating them anymore."
After all, they became a joke after losing that match!
Although no student dared to say it outright, there were many discussions in secret!
Zheng Yiran was stunned and said unwillingly, "Tch, I don't think I lost. Why did we lose that bout? It was because Wu Dousi was too arrogant and got taken out first!"
If it wasn't for Wu Dousi, they would have definitely won!
Wu Dousi's beautiful eyes grew colder as she said, "What do you mean by that? Are you provoking me?"
Even though she was eliminated, she had severely injured Ye Xinglan from the opposing side. With a four against four, they still couldn't win, they had no reason to blame her!
Yang Nianxia shook his head and said, "It's not Wu Dousi's fault. We couldn't win four against four, it just shows our teamwork wasn't cohesive enough!"
Luo Guixing, hearing this, also added, "Mhm, we're all in this together, let's not have internal strife!"
Wu Dousi snorted coldly and said no more…
…
Sea God's Pavilion!
Once all the Elders had gathered, Yun Ming, who sat in the main seat, glanced at them and turned to Elder Cai, saying, "Now that everyone is here, Elder Cai, please explain the details."
Upon hearing this, Elder Cai spoke with a grave tone, "Recently, the team led by Elder Tang was attacked by two Hyper Douluos from the Holy Spirit Cult!"
"However, thankfully, Elder Xu and Elder Ya'li arrived in time and successfully killed the evil Soul Master known as the Dark Hummingbird!"
Long Yeyue narrowed her eyes and said, "So, the Holy Spirit Cult has already started to take action against our Shrek Academy?"
Turbid World slammed the table angrily and said, "Hmph, if it hadn't been that we were all away from the Academy that day, we would have definitely eradicated them all in one fell swoop!"
Lan Muzi's eyes flashed with anger, "Just some evil Soul Masters, and they dare to take the initiative to strike. Do they think the Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion don't exist?"
Elder Cai nodded and continued, "Since the Holy Spirit Cult dares to strike, it shows they have sufficient confidence in their strength. After discussing with the Pavilion Leader, we all should stay as much as possible within the Academy in the future."
As soon as these words were said, Long Yeyue immediately countered, "But in this case, wouldn't the evil Soul Masters become even more rampant?"
Apart from their Shrek Academy, other powers were also hunting evil Soul Masters, but basically to no avail!
Turbid World suggested, "I think it would be better to reduce the scope of our patrols. That way, if anything unexpected happens, we could respond in time."
Then, turning to Xu Sheng, he said, "Elder Xu and the others must have clashed with the evil Soul Masters from the Holy Spirit Cult. I wonder what their strength is like!"
The latter was momentarily stunned before calmly responding, "Their strength is probably not much different from that of the Elders here!"
To him, there wasn't much of a difference between the two.
But at that moment, Lan Muzi said, full of doubt, "Wait a moment… I've always had a question, with just Elder Ya'li and Elder Tang, they shouldn't have been able to deal with two evil Soul Masters with the strength of Hyper Douluos. Could it be Elder Xu..."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell into silence…
Indeed, although they knew that Xu Sheng's strength was not as it appeared, the thought of him, at the level of a Soul Sage, defeating Hyper Douluos made their scalps tingle!
The most embarrassed were Tang Yinmeng and Ya'li, because they had seen with their own eyes, those two evil Soul Masters had no power to resist before him!
This also meant one thing; if Xu Sheng decided to take action against the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, no one but Yun Ming could defeat him!
```
Yun Ming's deep eyes flickered slightly as he spoke indifferently, "Let's not mention these things. Teacher Xu is indeed a Soul Sage, and his strength is not as it appears."
"However, everyone should have witnessed his contributions to the Sea God's Pavilion and Shrek Academy! I do not wish for anyone to overthink this, understand?"
After his in-depth conversation with Xu Sheng that day, he had come to trust him completely!
Therefore, he did not want this trivial matter to cause other Elders to doubt Xu Sheng....
Upon saying this, the other Elders also seemed to catch on, quickly expressing their agreement, "The Pavilion Master is right; I was a bit confused."
"Indeed, Elder Xu has given his all for our Shrek Academy. It would truly be disheartening to doubt him over something like this."
"Let's just leave this matter be then. All we need to know is that Elder Xu's strength is extraordinary!"
Elder Cai nodded slightly and then said, "Now, aside from what has just been discussed, what we need to pay the most attention to is coming up."
"On the day that Elder Tang was attacked, the Pavilion Master sensed a spiritual power belonging to an evil Soul Master, not weaker than his own, spying on the Academy!"
...
Soon, night had fallen quietly!
Inside the dormitory, Yuanen Yehui, who had fallen into a deep sleep, suddenly heard a grating voice in her ear....
"Yuanen Yehui."
Startled awake, she called out coldly, "Who's speaking?"
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie in the same dormitory were jolted awake by her exclamation...
Xie Xie said somewhat aggressively, "Yuanen Yehui, what are you doing? Why are you freaking out like that?"
Ever since he lost the duel, he had been somewhat traumatized by Yuanen Yehui...
Tang Wulin, however, was puzzled as he said, "There was no sound just now! Yuanen Yehui, did you have a nightmare?"
As strong as Yuanen Yehui was, she was still a woman, and it wouldn't be impossible for her to have nightmares....
Yuanen Yehui gave them a glance, seeing their bewildered faces, and said gravely, "Was it just my imagination?"
But before she could think further, another gentle voice echoed in her mind....
"Yuanen Yehui, come outside for a moment. I'm waiting for you out there!"
In an instant, Yuanen Yehui's beautiful eyes lit up as she thought to herself, "This is... Teacher Xu's voice. But the voice that spoke just now was clearly different!"
Despite her doubts, she decisively got up and quickly left the dormitory....
Xie Xie scratched his head, looking completely baffled, "What in the world is she up to, acting all weird?"
Tang Wulin nodded and responded, "Yeah, it is a bit odd! Should we follow her to see what's going on?"
Xie Xie deflated instantly, collapsing onto the bed in a spread-eagle position, and complained, "Let's forget about it. I want to sleep!"
Seeing this, Tang Wulin didn't force him and also lay down after pursing his lips....
But he felt increasingly that something was not quite right....
What Yuanen Yehui had just shown was clearly indicative of something sinister!
