Hearing these words, Wu Changkong's icy eyes turned towards them...
"Honored War Gods, by attempting to recruit the Shrek Seven Monsters in front of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, am I to understand that the War God Hall is provoking Shrek Academy?"
This was his warning!
The leading War God replied unperturbed, "Of course not, we are merely astonished and acknowledging the talents of the Shrek Seven Monsters, with no intention of provocation."
"After all, no power would refuse such outstanding Soul Masters!"
Yue Zhengyu stood up, his face regaining its color, "This senior flatters us, but we have no intention of leaving Shrek Academy!"
He ended the topic with his tactfully declining tone...
Just then, Gu Yue, who had finished assessing the battlefield, came over and said, "With the support of the three major forces, the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters have been slain to the last man! But it's uncertain if there are any remnants nearby!"
The War Gods exchanged glances, seemingly realizing the atmosphere was off and they weren't too welcome here!
The leading War God took a deep breath, "In that case, let War God Hall take care of this. We will conduct a search in the surrounding area, you all take your time and chat!"
The other War Gods nodded as a sign and then led the troops of War God Hall away...
Xie Xie gave a thumbs up, "Say what you will, but the discernment of these War Gods from War God Hall isn't half bad!"
Yue Zhengyu agreed, "True, but that's also thanks to me and Yehui, our display of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill certainly intimidated them!"
After saying this, he didn't forget to throw a coquettish glance at Yuanen Yehui...
However, she just flat-out ignored him and turned to the others, "The Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters have been eradicated. What should we do now?"
Xu Xiaoyan said in a playful tone, "Probably find a comfy place to catch up, I'm dead tired right now!"
Xie Xie approached with a grin, "Tired for sure, Xiao Yan, you were facing a Limit Douluo-level opponent after all. Wherever it's sore, let me give it a rub..."
But before he could say more, Yue Zhengyu pressed his palm heavily on his shoulder, snapping fiercely, "Xiao Yan is my girlfriend. You needn't trouble yourself with such matters!"
Xie Xie curled his lip, "Tch, who asked you to be flirting with Yehui just now!"
Everyone else, including Gu Yue, started to chuckle behind their hands...
No one expected Xie Xie to be such a jealous type, retaliating for his grievances right after the battle had ended!
At this moment, Gu Yue turned her gaze to Wu Changkong, inquiring, "Teacher Wu, indeed, it's been a long time since I've seen everyone. Can we talk?"
Although her words seemed a bit awkward, she couldn't help it; she represented not the Inner Court student of Shrek but the Young Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda!
Upon hearing this, Wu Changkong looked up at the sky and said calmly, "I'll give you two hours' time. After catching up, return to the academy."
Xu Xiaoyan complained pitifully, "Ah, just two hours? That's barely enough for us to have a meal together!"
Wu Changkong merely glanced at her and said indifferently, "Eat? If I'm not mistaken, Gu Yue, you should also return to the Spirit Pagoda to report!"
With that, he departed straightforwardly...
Seeing him leave, Xu Xiaoyan murmured softly, "Teacher Wu really doesn't know how to sugarcoat it. Ever since he became an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion, he's been like a block of ice!"
Gu Yue just smiled faintly, "In this regard, Teacher Wu is right. I do have to return to the Spirit Pagoda!"
"Then let's take this chance to catch up!"
…
Turbid World circled around Tang Wulin with his fist, scrutinizing the Four-Word Battle Armor he was wearing...
He frowned and said, "Tang Wulin... Pavilion Leader, is this the Four-Word Battle Armor that you forged? I feel like it's missing something!"
It seemed weak compared to an ordinary Three-Word Battle Armor.
But it also seemed weaker than any Four-Word Battle Armor.
Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin scratched his head and said, "You're quite perceptive, Turbid World Elder. This Four-Word Battle Armor was just a prototype when I first forged it!"
```
Turbid World's eyes lit up, "An embryo? Does that mean this suit of Battle Armor has the potential to grow?"
A Four-Word Battle Armor embryo was much more expensive than the average Four-Word Battle Armor!
His gaze grew increasingly fervent!
This familiar scene made Tang Wulin swallow hard, and bracing himself, he said, "Um... Elder Turbid World, you couldn't possibly be in need of a Four-Word Battle Armor as well, right?"
If every encounter required him to forge Four-Word Battle Armor for others, he might as well forget about resting for years!
Turbid World looked at him with disdain, "Look at you, so devoid of ambition, I wouldn't deign to take your things for nothing!"
While Four-Word Battle Armor was desirable, he was old and lacked the ambition for it!
Tang Wulin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Then Elder Turbid World, what is the special reason you sought me out for?"
Turbid World's eyes deepened, "I just wanted to remind you that you shouldn't rest easy just because you've consumed Immortal Herbs. At critical moments, those same things could become your biggest impediment!"
During this period, Tang Wulin had been engrossed in forging, neglecting his regular cultivation!
It made him mistakenly believe it was the confidence given by the Immortal Herbs!
Tang Wulin immediately caught on, "Are you saying that consuming Immortal Herbs and the rapid increase in Soul Power could lead to an unstable foundation?"
Turbid World pursed his thin lips, "If you understand, that's good enough!"
After pausing for a moment, he added, "By the way, those few moves you asked Longkong to guide you in are not bad. If you need it, you can come to me!"
Tang Wulin's face lit up with joy as he respectfully said, "Thank you, Elder Turbid World!"
Although he was the Pavilion Leader, in his eyes, the other Elders were all venerable seniors worthy of respect!
Watching Turbid World leave, the younger male and female students who had been sneaking peeks all around finally crowded around...
"Senior Wulin, we have some questions about Mechas and wonder if you could teach us. Is that possible?"
"Senior Wulin, I have some questions about forging I'd like to ask you!"
"Senior Wulin, you must be at the level of a Title Douluo by now, right? Could you give me some guidance?"
Suppressing the fatigue in his heart, Tang Wulin smiled and said, "You are all my juniors; as a senior, it's naturally my duty."

The core area of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform!
Qiangu Qingfeng cautiously surveyed his surroundings, "So this is the core area of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform? It doesn't seem too different..."
But as he continuously expanded his spiritual power, his expression turned grave in an instant...
Because ahead, there were two presences as strong as his own!
Moreover, he was sure that the other side had also detected him and, what's more, they were rapidly closing in!
Sure enough, in less than three minutes, two enormous beings exuding a terrifying aura appeared in front of him...
"Human, leave this place now while we are not yet enraged, or else, die!!"
From confusion to shock to fervor, Qiangu Qingfeng's gaze changed...
The creatures before him!
They were true ferocious beasts!!
And they were the Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython, legendary beasts believed to be extinct!!
Was this the truth Gu Yue had always wanted to conceal?
