Seeing this scene, Luo Guixing and the others' faces all turned dark. They had kindly come to remind the others, only to be fed a mouthful of public displays of affection!
With hands on her hips, Zheng Yiran huffed, "Hmph, suit yourselves. We only reminded you because we're all classmates! Nian Xia, let's go!"
Having said that, she pulled Yang Nian Xia away and left...
Luo Guixing then sulkily said, "Since you're determined to join the military, we can only wish you triumph and success!"
Xu Yucheng nodded, "Yeah, you are the Shrek Seven Monsters; don't lose face for the academy."
Then, he stepped forward to catch up with Zheng Yiran and the other two!
Ye Xinglan couldn't help but sigh, "Who would have thought, right before we're about to leave, the first ones to show concern for us would be Luo Guixing and the others, with whom we had conflicts!"
Xu Xiaoyan blinked her beautiful eyes, "Indeed, it's quite unexpected! But I guess that's the charm of Shrek Academy for you!"
They were both competitors and friends!
Tang Wulin took a deep breath, his eyes gradually becoming serious, "Everyone, it's getting late. It's time to gather outside the Sea God's Pavilion!"
...
Outside the Sea God's Pavilion!
Tang Wulin and the others stood neatly in a row, their faces unchanging as they stared ahead...
Finally, after a few minutes, all the Elders, including Xu Sheng, walked out of the Sea God's Pavilion...
Once they had taken their positions, they looked at the group with complex gazes...
Leading them, Long Yeyue pursed her thin lips, saying calmly, "Hmm, it looks like the Shrek Seven Monsters are all here!"
These children had made tremendous progress in just a few years and had become genuine Soul Emperors!
Deep down, she was proud of them!
Tang Wulin cupped his fists, respectfully saying, "Yes, Elder Long!"
Long Yeyue gave a slight nod, seriously saying, "Children, in light of your military service application from six months ago, the Sea God's Pavilion has approved it and managed to pull the necessary strings. Today, you will be sent to different military districts!"
"Xie Xie and Yuanen Yehui will go to the Southern Military District, Xu Xiaoyan and Yue Zhengyu to the Northern Military District! Xu Lizhi and Ye Xinglan to the Western Military District, while Tang Wulin will be heading to the Eastern Military District!"
No sooner had her words fallen than Yue Zhengyu excitedly said, "Xiao Yan, we've been assigned to the same military district, that's great!"
If he wasn't with Xu Xiaoyan, he'd have considered giving up on joining the military. Thankfully, the best result was satisfying!
Xu Xiaoyan responded with a somewhat shy "Mhm!"...
Xie Xie couldn't wait to look at Yuanen Yehui, excitedly saying, "Yehui, it's not just Yue Zhengyu and them, we've also been assigned to the same military district!!"
Yuanen Yehui gave him a sideways glance, casually saying, "Oh!"
A bit disappointed, Xie Xie said, "Yehui, aren't you happy to be with me?"
Yuanen Yehui shook his head, "No, looking at Wulin's expression, how can you still be happy?"
Xie Xie turned his gaze and noticed that Tang Wulin looked somewhat sad...
The excitement in his heart also dissipated quite a bit...
Ye Xinglan asked with deep concern, "Wulin, are you alright?"
Tang Wulin snapped back to reality and chuckled, "I'm fine, I'm just not used to the idea of being on my own in the military, that's all!"
Xu Lizhi also felt downtrodden, "Indeed, all of us are going to the military districts in pairs, only you will be going alone..."
Tang Wulin, realizing he had dampened everyone's spirits, said, "Don't worry about me. The Shrek Seven Monsters won't yield to any difficulties. Besides, when we return to the academy in a few years, who knows, maybe you'll all be lagging behind me!"
This made everyone cover their mouths to stifle their laughter...
Not for any other reason, but because among the Shrek Seven Monsters, Tang Wulin had the slowest cultivation speed!
During the time within the Icefire Polarized Eyes, had it not been for the Golden Dragon King's bloodline within him, perfectly exerting the effects of the Immortal Herbs, he would have found it quite difficult to catch up with the others!
Long Yeyue looked at Tang Wulin with admiration and said again, "Shrek Seven Monsters, heed my command!"
Tang Wulin and the others immediately closed their mouths and puffed out their chests...
"Now, immediately return to your dormitories to pack your belongings; two hours from now, gather at the gates of Shrek Academy. The military district will send a special vehicle for pickup!"
Almost in an instant, everyone sped towards the direction of their dormitories...
Watching them depart, Feng Wu Yu said with regret, "To be honest, I really am somewhat reluctant to let these kids join the military! In that case, our Shrek Academy's inner court will have no standout students left!"
If Tang Wulin hadn't joined the military, under his own guidance, his forging skills might have advanced another step!
Turbid World put his hands behind his back and affirmed, "Indeed, the talents of the Shrek Seven Monsters are beyond doubt, but compared to them, the other students of the inner court are much less impressive!"
Ya Li gently said, "This is a choice the children have made for themselves, as long as they don't regret it looking back, then it is worth it!"
Tang Yinmeng said through gritted teeth, "If it weren't for the agreement of all the Elders, I would definitely not have permitted the Shrek Seven Monsters to join the military!"
Lan Muzi asked in confusion, "Why is that?"
Tang Yinmeng narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "The federation is a place filled with chaos, and the fall of the Pavilion Master had some connection to it!"
Long Yeyue frowned and glanced at Ya Li, whose expression had slightly changed, and cautioned, "Yinmeng, that matter is in the past, let's not bring it up again!"
Although the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion did not show it, it was impossible for them to have no hatred towards the federation!
Tang Yinmeng sighed, "Yes, Teacher!"
...
Spirit Pagoda!
Leng Yaozhu sat gracefully on Gu Yue's desk, resting her chin on her hand, and said, "Gu Yue, considering the time, your group of companions should be about to set off. Are you sure you don't want to see them off?"
Gu Yue denied, "No need, I believe in them!"
If she went back, she might find it difficult to let go...
Leng Yaozhu stretched out her hand and twirled a strand of the former's hair around her finger...
"Gu Yue, you actually don't need to keep staying within the Spirit Pagoda; you could completely join your companions in the military!"
"After all, your contributions over the past few years are there for all to see. Even the Council Members haven't had anything they can reproach you with."
Gu Yue seemed somewhat tempted, but was still wrestling with the thought internally...
"But... just that isn't enough to become the master of the Spirit Pagoda, is it?"
Leng Yaozhu did not directly answer, but rather said to herself, "To become the master of the Spirit Pagoda, apart from having a unique understanding of the management of the Spirit Pagoda itself, one also needs external experience!"
"Without a sufficiently resilient heart, no matter how much growth one achieves, they will rapidly decline after setbacks!"
Following that, her sharp gaze fixed closely on Gu Yue's face, "Gu Yue, do you understand this point?"
