"I will represent Tang Sect at the Mingdu Tournament," Xuanzi declared, her voice firm and resolute.
At Xuanzi's words, a wave of disappointment washed over the powerful individuals from Shrek Academy. Alongside their disappointment, a sense of worry quietly began to grow.
With the Shrek Seven Monsters gone and Wang Qiu'er now competing as a disciple of the Tang Sect, could Shrek Academy still secure the top position in the tournament?
"Shui Wuya, you're here," Wang Qiu'er suddenly called out, breaking the silence.
Everyone turned their gaze towards where she was looking and saw Shui Wuya stepping into the square.
Shui Wuya nodded slightly and silently released a wave of spiritual power that merged into Wang Qiu'er's body.
In an instant, he sensed the presence of a fragment of a soul within her.
"It seems the soul fragment will soon awaken and separate," Shui Wuya thought to himself, keeping his expression neutral.
"Is that Shui Wuya, the young master of the Shui family?"
"Yes, it's him. His appearance made Di Tian abandon the attack on Shrek City!"
"Shui Wuya saved Shrek City!"
As Shui Wuya arrived, murmurs quickly spread through the crowd, everyone aware of the events that had transpired at the city gates the previous day.
Everyone respected Shui Wuya greatly, and as he walked through the crowd, they instinctively made way for him.
"Shui Wuya, thank you for saving both the academy and the civilians within the city," Xuanzi said as he approached, unable to ignore Shui Wuya's presence.
At that moment, Elder Lin's face showed a contemplative expression before he spoke up.
"According to the tournament rules, Shui Wuya can also participate."
Elder Lin's sudden suggestion took everyone by surprise, revealing his intention to have Shui Wuya join Shrek Academy's team.
However, Shui Wuya responded with a cold glance at Elder Lin. He had little affection for the old man, especially after being used as a pawn the previous day at the city gates. Now, asking him to represent Shrek Academy in the tournament was absurd. Given Shui Wuya's current status, he had no need to participate in such competitions. Even if he did, he would never represent Shrek Academy.
Elder Lin felt a chill at Shui Wuya's gaze and quickly fell silent, stopping himself from saying more.
"Shui Wuya, you're on the verge of becoming a Soul Douluo, aren't you?" Elder Xuan suddenly broke the awkward silence, his tone filled with admiration.
During the battle in the Evil Demon Forest, Shui Wuya had displayed extraordinary combat skills, holding his own with a seventy-level Soul Saint's power against the 800,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant Master.
The various scenes still left a deep impression on Elder Xuan.
"Yes," Shui Wuya responded with a slight nod. Over time, his soul power level had reached seventy-nine, just a step away from becoming an eighty-level Soul Douluo.
Upon hearing Shui Wuya acknowledge his level, the strong individuals of Shrek Academy couldn't help but show expressions of amazement. In just three or four years, Shui Wuya had leaped from a thirty-level Soul Elder to the brink of becoming an eighty-level Soul Douluo. Such astonishing talent was unmatched across the entire continent.
"Shui Wuya, why don't you join us on the trip to Mingdu?" Wang Qiu'er, who had decided to represent Tang Sect, suddenly invited him.
Everyone expected Shui Wuya to decline, but his response surprised them all.
"Of course," he said, nodding happily. He intended to stimulate the awakening of the soul fragment within Wang Qiu'er, and since she invited him, he gladly accepted. However, he did not agree to represent Tang Sect. After all, it was the previous head of the Shui family who had destroyed Tang Sect years ago.
The strong individuals of Shrek Academy were taken aback but soon realized that while Wang Qiu'er was competing for Tang Sect, she was still a student of Shrek Academy. Building a closer relationship with the Shui family's young master wasn't a bad idea.
"Let's go!" With Elder Xuan's command, the teams from Tang Sect and Shrek Academy left the square, officially heading to the Mingdu Tournament.
Initially, Shrek Academy's team led, followed by Tang Sect. However, as soon as they left Shrek City, the order became chaotic. Many Shrek students and Tang Sect disciples gathered around Shui Wuya.
The reason was clear: as the young master of the Shui family, people were eager to learn more about the family from him.
"Shui Wuya, tell us, is the Shui family really re-emerging in three months?"
"How many Ultimate Douluos does your family have? Is the Shui family aiming to unify the entire continent?"
Surrounded by a mix of students and disciples, Shui Wuya was bombarded with a myriad of questions.
Shui Wuya didn't stop them from asking, but his responses were almost always the same: "You'll find out in due time."
This was his most frequent answer to their inquiries.
Finally, the commotion ended when Xuanzi, the team leader, intervened and dispersed the crowd around Shui Wuya.
Once they were alone near his carriage, Shui Wuya turned to Shui Yuanchen. "Uncle, what's the current situation in the Slaughter Hell?"
"The Slaughter Hell has been rebuilt, but now less than one-tenth of the previous number of prisoners remain," Shui Yuanchen replied, shaking his head. Most prisoners had perished during the uprising, falling victim to the icy needles of slaughter.
"Will the reduced number of prisoners affect the Slaughter Hell?" Shui Wuya asked, puzzled by Shui Yuanchen's reaction.
"Fewer prisoners mean less blood energy in the Slaughter Hell," Shui Yuanchen explained. "But it's not a major issue. There are plenty of wicked soul masters in the world. We'll just capture more over time."
Shui Yuanchen chuckled, clearly pleased with Shui Wuya. In just a year, Shui Wuya had united the Shui family members and even rebuilt their ancestral home. Shui Yuanchen couldn't help but feel that Shui Wuya would restore the Shui family to its former glory.
"Shui Wuya, in three months, I will be at the Shui family estate," Shui Yuanchen promised. He understood that Shui Wuya's announcement of the family's re-emergence meant they would need all the help they could get.
"Thank you, Uncle," Shui Wuya responded, his expression solemn as he bowed respectfully to Shui Yuanchen.
