Capítulo 2889: Chapter 2874: Seeking Help_1

Shrek Academy!

In the middle of the square, Xie Xie, who had released his Martial Soul, erupted with astonishing Soul Power, flitting and darting about...

This scene naturally drew the attention and gathered a crowd of inner and outer court students...

"Is this the strength of Elder Xie? So terrifying, one can't even catch his shadow with the naked eye!"

"Forget the naked eye, I can't keep up even with my spiritual power. No wonder he's a Hyper Douluo class powerhouse!"

"Mm-hmm, I guess no one on the entire Continent could possibly outpace Elder Xie when it comes to speed, right? It's a pity I'm not of the agile-attack class, otherwise, I could have asked for some advice!"

"Come on, you think that just by working hard in cultivation you can reach Elder Xie's level? That requires talent!!"

"Hey, it's also a wonder why our Shrek Academy has declined to this point, even losing the title of the number one academy on the Continent!"

"Hmph, if anyone's to blame, it's the Holy Spirit Cult. If they hadn't launched a stealth attack on the academy after the elders left, it wouldn't have come to this!!"

Tang Wulin and the others were naturally drawn here too...

Yue Zhengyu watched Xie Xie zip back and forth and teased, "This guy Xie Xie, even though he's an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion, he still mingles with the students!"

Xu Xiaoyan felt this wasn't anything surprising, "What's so strange about that? After all, it hasn't been long since we became Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, and in terms of age, we aren't that much older than some of the inner court students!"

Yuanen Yehui nodded and added, "Yeah, it was precisely because the academy was attacked that we were appointed as Elders of the Sea God Pavilion ahead of time!"

"Otherwise, it would have taken much longer!"

Ye Xinglan chuckled lightly and sighed, "However, I do miss the old times, when we didn't have to be on constant alert like we are now!"

Having become Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, they now bore the responsibility of protecting the academy!

They had to focus all their efforts on ensuring the safety of the academy!

Tang Wulin also felt a touch of sorrow, "Xing Lan's right, it's been a long time since I've been home to check in!"

Even though his foster parents were no longer with him, the home where he had lived hadn't disappeared!

As he spoke, everyone could sense the loss in his words...

Yue Zhengyu took a deep breath, patted Tang Wulin on the shoulder, and comforted him, "Wulin, don't be sad, even though your uncle and aunt have... the academy is now your home, and we are all your family!"

Tang Wulin cracked a slight smile, "Yes, although none of us are related by blood, in my heart, I've already considered all of you indispensable family members!"

Noticing them, Xie Xie also stopped his motions and instantly appeared before them, his face brimming with pride, "You're all here, how about it? Were you impressed by my speed??"

He had originally just wanted to test out the skills that came with his soul bone, but he hadn't expected that so many inner and outer courtyard students would come to watch!

He might as well exert his full strength and give them a little shock!

Of course, he was very satisfied with the result!

Upon hearing this, Yue Zhengyu couldn't resist teasing, "Cut it out, in combat, don't you just dodge all the time??"

Xie Xie, unwilling to tolerate this claim, retorted, "Nonsense, now even if I fought against anyone, I would remain undefeated!"

Yue Zhengyu nodded, provoking him once more, "I get it, it means you can't win against anyone, right?"

Xie Xie's face was lined with irritation, "You... this guy..."

Ye Xinglan suddenly interrupted, "Xie Xie, don't mind Zheng Yu. How have you been getting on with that hundred-thousand-year soul bone these past few days?"

Xie Xie immediately gave a thumbs up, "In full control, as expected, considering who I am."

Xu Lizhi followed up with a question, "I remember that a hundred-thousand-year soul bone should provide two powerful soul skills, right? Xie Xie, care to share them?"

Xu Xiaoyan's eyes shone with a bright light as she exclaimed, "Yes, yes, I want to know what skill this hundred-thousand-year soul bone comes with!"

Yuanen Yehui's beautiful eyes also reflected her curiosity, but she did not ask out loud...

Whether to speak or not was entirely up to Xie Xie!

Yet, Xie Xie merely curled his lip and said, "You think I'll just spill it because you ask? It's a secret. But I can tell you it's really powerful, and that's enough!"

Emperor Xue Yuntian had been rather honest; the hundred-thousand-year soul bone he provided came with soul skills that were required!

They were absolutely not the kind of trash soul bones that were randomly picked out anywhere!

Everyone rolled their eyes in unison, "Pfft!!"

Only Tang Wulin looked at him with trust and spoke in his defense, "If Xie Xie doesn't want to tell, let's not force him. Keeping some mystery is good, and who knows, it might be of great use at some point!"

Just like the time he had rescued him from the hands of the Ghost Emperor!!

Xie Xie felt touched by those words, "Wulin, you really get me. Once it's out in the open, the mystery is gone!"

But just at that moment, Cai Yue'er's voice suddenly rang out in Tang Wulin's mind...

"Wulin, something big has happened, quickly gather all the Elders to the Sea God's Pavilion!!!!"

Tang Wulin's face changed dramatically as he said in a cold voice, "Everyone, go inform the other Elders immediately. We must convene a meeting at the Sea God's Pavilion at once!!"

For Elder Cai to be in such a panic, the situation must be quite severe!!

...

Inside the Sea God's Pavilion!

Cai Yue'er spoke gravely, "Ladies and gentlemen, just moments ago, Emperor Xue Yuntian of the Douling Empire has sent a plea for help to our Shrek Academy!!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces were filled with astonishment...

Yuanen Zhentian was the first to ask, "A plea for help?? Could it be that the Ghost Emperor has attacked the Douling Empire Imperial Palace again??"

Cai Yue'er shook her head in denial, "No, it's more serious than that!!"

"The Ghost Emperor may not have taken action personally, but through some mysterious technique, he has forcibly extracted a portion of life force from some evil Soul Masters, significantly enhancing their strength!"

"Preliminary estimates suggest that there are several dozens of Titled Douluos and, as for their objective, it seems to be the destruction of the Douling Empire Imperial Palace!!"

Yue Zhengyu's eyes widened in shock, "Several dozens?? Does the Ghost Emperor think Titled Douluos are as common as cabbages, to produce so many just like that??"

Tang Wulin said gravely, "I'm afraid it's more than that. Among these several dozens of Titled Douluos, most likely, there are also those at the Super Douluo Level. If they join forces to attack the palace, no wonder Emperor Xue Yuntian is asking for help!!"

Xu Xiaoyan frowned and said, "But... hasn't Emperor Xue Yuntian already gathered all the mightiest warriors of the Douling Empire to the palace? With their strength, defending the palace shouldn't be difficult!"

Ye Xinglan calmly analyzed, "That's not necessarily true. When evil Soul Masters attack, they won't care about anything and will fight with all their might!"

"Whereas those strong warriors of the Douling Empire can't afford to be careless, which leads to them being restrained in battle!"

Even the slightest mistake could destroy the imperial palace!!

Lan Mu Zi took a deep breath, "Xing Lan makes a lot of sense. Without the palace, the Douling Empire would certainly fall into chaos, and the consequences of such disorder need no explanation!!"
