Capítulo 1880: Chapter 1824: Half a Year Later (Please Subscribe)_1

With this thought, he dialed Gu Yue's contact...

After the connection was made, Gu Yue's voice came through, softer than ever, "Hello, Di Tian, do you have any issues to report?"

Di Tian was initially taken aback, then he spoke up, "Your Highness, at this point, our Soul Master Legion's numbers have reached saturation. Staying here, there is no room for growth. Bi Ji proposed that we station ourselves in the city center, and I wonder what your thoughts are..."

After he spoke, the other ferocious beasts waited with hopeful faces for Gu Yue's response...

After a few seconds of silence, the voice came through again, "I have indeed considered this matter. Stationing at the city center is not impossible, but since you are all soul beasts, if discovered by the other factions' Hyper Douluo and Ultimate Douluo..."

Seeing this, Di Tian replied with certainty, "Please be assured, Your Highness, as long as we do not expose ourselves, they won't be able to see through our true forms!"

Gu Yue gave a slight nod, "If that is the case, then good. Bi Ji, are you there?"

Bi Ji immediately responded, "Your Highness, I am here!"

Gu Yue ordered, "Since our goal is to develop in the city center, you will go first to scout the area, preferably buying a large plot of land for the construction of a new Soul Beast Legion base!"

Bi Ji acknowledged, then asked, "Yes, Your Highness, but how should I choose the location?"

Gu Yue pondered for a moment, then explained, "Just ensure we are at a distance from other large forces, as low-profile as possible!"

Bi Ji nodded, "I understand, Your Highness. Leave this matter to me!"

Gu Yue then turned her attention back to Di Tian, "Di Tian, is there anything else?"

Di Tian pursed his lips, "Nothing more, but... Your Highness, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but you seem to be in a particularly good mood today. Did something special happen?"

The Gu Yue on the other side of the communicator blushed slightly and softly said, "Yes, something has happened. If there's nothing else, then we'll leave it here."

After saying that, she hung up the call...

The other ferocious beasts had naturally heard the conversation and began to speculate with furrowed brows, "I say, could it be that our master has taken a liking to someone? She even revealed such a demure demeanor!"

"This won't do. Humans are always cunning and deceitful, not worthy of our noble master. If I find out who that boy is, I will tear him to pieces!"

In his eyes, human Soul Masters were garbage, worlds apart from their noble and sacred master!

"Enough already, if we really did that, our master might become deeply saddened. I just hope that human boy doesn't take advantage of her!"

"Rest assured, if that human boy dares to use our master, we don't need to lift a finger; the boss will make that guy experience true despair!"

Hearing this, Di Tian sighed helplessly, "Quiet down now. Perhaps our master is simply pleased about something else!"

However, in his heart, he silently thought, "Has our master actually fallen for a human?"

The Soul Beast Clan had fallen to their current state precisely because they believed a man named Huo Yuhao...

...

Shrek Outer Court!

Xu Sheng actively sought out Cai Yue'er and reported, "Elder Cai, apart from Gu Yue, all those kids plan to enlist in the Inner Court for half a year before joining the army."

Cai Yue'er looked surprised, "They've all chosen to enlist? Surely this isn't your idea, Elder Xu?"

It was one thing for the others, but for Yue Zhengyu, a child from the Holy Angel Clan, to actually consider enlisting!

That would definitely draw criticism within the Holy Angel Clan!

Xu Sheng neutrally said, "You could say that. I just think that joining the army might offer them better opportunities for development!"

Cai Yue'er, upon hearing this, expressed with a touch of regret, "Ah, although that's what I think too, sending so many outstanding children to join the army makes me somewhat reluctant..."

The armies of Soul Land are mostly under the control of the federation!

In other words, after people like Tang Wulin join the army, they belong not only to Shrek Academy but also to the federation!

If there were to arise any conflicts or disputes between the federation and Shrek Academy...

Seeming to have seen through the former's thoughts, Xu Sheng comforted, "Elder Cai, I think you can rest assured on this matter. Their joining the military is not really about joining the federation, but merely to expand their own influence and power!"

Cai Yue'er replied with a wry smile, "I understand all the reasons that Elder Xu has mentioned, but even if it makes me uncomfortable... let's not talk about this anymore. As for the children's future, they should make their own choices!"

After a pause, she pursued the topic further, "But what about you, Elder Xu, do you still plan to stay at Shrek Academy to instruct the students?"

Xu Sheng replied indifferently, "Maybe! I'm not sure."

Cai Yue'er's expression grew a bit more somber, realizing this was a tactful rejection...

She couldn't help sighing, "To be honest... I was actually hoping that Elder Xu would take over as the Sea God Pavilion Master. In terms of strength and in all other aspects, you have already surpassed the previous Pavilion Masters!"

"But I guess, Elder Xu, you definitely won't agree, will you?"

After so many years of acquaintance, she was well aware that Xu Sheng's nature was to be unbounded by constraints, and the idea of him taking on the role of Sea God Pavilion Master was clearly out of the question!

Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng simply uttered a quiet "Hmm..."

His reason for staying in the Lower Realm was purely out of curiosity about the development of people like Tang Wulin...

Of course, this was only one factor. More importantly, the research into Life Force and Destruction Force by the seven Old Demons on Demon Island had set off alarm bells for him!

...

Six months later! Shrek Academy's inner court!

Yang Nianxia's gaze was tightly fixed on Tang Wulin and the others, urging anxiously, "Tang Wulin, and everyone, I heard from Academy President Cai that all of you are planning to join the army?"

It was known that Tang Wulin and the others were the current Shrek Seven Monsters, and there had never been a precedent for joining the military before!

Tang Wulin smiled and said, "Yes, that's right. We made this decision half a year ago!"

Zheng Yiran frowned and commented, "The army, such a lousy place, what's the point of going there? With your abilities, you could totally join major powers like the War God Hall for development!"

Luo Guixing also chimed in, "Exactly, in a place like the military, even if you manage to climb up the ranks, you won't get much attention from people!"

Xu Yucheng interjected out of the blue, "I think you should reconsider. Joining the military will only waste your time and talent!"

Despite their past conflicts in the Outer Court, they did not wish to see their peers obscured among the masses due to military service!

Xie Xie shook his finger and said, "No, no, no, you don't understand the charm of joining the army. Being able to command an army with your beloved is indeed a wonderful thing!"

After saying this, he looked affectionately at Yuanen Yehui...

Yue Zhengyu held Xu Xiaoyan's hand tightly, speaking earnestly, "Joining the army is meaningless for someone from the Holy Family like me. However, if Xiao Yan wants to go, how could I refuse!"
