Chapter 1567: The Top Eight (Subscription Request)_1
Cai Yue'er sighed, "What's most important is that the Pavilion Master needs to stand guard at the Academy; otherwise, if we fall victim to an attack, the consequences would be severe!"
The Demon Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult, his strength is only a hair less than Yun Ming's!
If he were to take action personally, based solely on their strength, it would be very difficult to eliminate him...
Just at this moment, a student of Shrek Academy knocked on the door from the outside, saying respectfully, "Pavilion Master, three Sect Masters of the Tang Sect request an audience!"
Surprise flickered through Yun Ming's eyes as he said, "Let them in."
"Yes, Pavilion Master!"
A few minutes later, the doors of the Sea God's Pavilion were slowly pushed open, and the three Sect Masters of the Tang Sect entered cautiously...
Looking at Yun Ming sitting at the head and the surrounding Elders, they clasped their fists and said, "Pavilion Master, Elders, please forgive our intrusion!"
Yun Ming asked with an unchanged expression, "Do the three Sect Masters have some matter to discuss?"
The other Elders of the Sea God Pavilion also cast doubtful glances...
Zhao Song, Power Hall Master, took a deep breath and said, "To be frank, Pavilion Master, we heard yesterday that Shrek Academy is planning to join forces with other powers to annihilate the Holy Spirit Cult! Therefore, we hope that our Tang Sect teams can join!"
Although some time had passed, he simply could not forget the Tang Sect that had been destroyed by the Holy Spirit Cult's twelfth-grade soul guidance shell!
And the Sect Master, Cao Zhide, who tried to slow the range of the cannonball by taking it head-on with his body!
This was a deep and bitter hatred. Now that there was a chance to annihilate the Holy Spirit Cult, how could they remain indifferent!
Liang Xiaoyu, Mintang Hall Master, also said coldly, "That's right, the Holy Spirit Cult destroyed our Tang Sect, and we must avenge our fallen Sect Master and the disciples of the Soul Guidance Hall!"
Guo Xiaoxu, Battle Soul Hall Master, with a strong plea entreated, "Pavilion Master, please consider the close relationship that has always existed between our Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, and allow us to join in annihilating the Holy Spirit Cult!"
Feeling the persistent conviction of the others, Cai Yue'er pursed her lips lightly and glanced at Yun Ming beside her, "Pavilion Master, this..."
Who would have expected that a faint smile would appear on Yun Ming's face, "Good... I agree!"
From the beginning, he had intended to have the Tang Sect join the operation. That the three Sect Masters had actively put forth this request was a pleasant surprise!
The three Sect Masters' faces lit up with joy as they exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you, Pavilion Master!"
Feng Wu Yu frowned and said, "Pavilion Master, isn't this a bit too hasty? We're talking about annihilating the Holy Spirit Cult here!"
Tang Yinmeng also nodded in agreement, "Yes, tomorrow is the departure date, and the Tang Sect teams are not prepared at all. I'm afraid this might lead to complications during the mission!"
Ya Li reminded, "The three Sect Masters should think it over again. If you insist on participating, the disciples of the Tang Sect might suffer heavy losses!"
Zhao Song paused, his expression gradually becoming resolute, "Thank you for your concerns, Elders, but... whether it be us three Sect Masters or the disciples of the Tang Sect, we are all ready to fight to the death against the Holy Spirit Cult!"
Long Yeyue chuckled, "If that is the case, we have no objections."
Yun Ming nodded slightly and announced, "Then it's settled. Disciples of the Tang Sect at the Spirit Ancestor level or above will join forces with our teams from Shrek Academy for the operation!"
Aside from the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, the only ones Shrek Academy could deploy were the teachers responsible for the Inner and Outer Courts!
"Yes, Pavilion Master. In that case, we will take our leave and prepare for tomorrow's operation to annihilate the Holy Spirit Cult!"
After bowing briefly, the three Sect Masters of the Tang Sect stepped away and left...
...
Star Luo Empire Palace!
Gazing at the list of the final eight in his hand, Pan Wen announced with an impassioned tone, "After the competition among hundreds of teams, today we have successfully determined the top eight teams for the exchange competition! The specific matchup list will be announced tomorrow!"
Upon hearing these words, the watching students finally snapped back to reality...
One of the students exclaimed in astonishment, "Eh... The top eight have already been decided? Time really does fly!"
Another student said with full anticipation, "That's because we were too engrossed in the matches! I'm sure the battles among the top eight tomorrow will be even more spectacular, with no teams able to hide their strength any longer!"
"Pfft, if it hadn't been for our defeat in the last match, one of those top eight spots would definitely have been ours!"
"Oh, please. Even if your team made it to the top eight, you would still just be cannon fodder!"
"Cannon fodder? I think that should apply to Shrek Academy; their team only has one Soul King, while all the other top eight teams have at least three Soul Kings!"
"That's not necessarily the case. Shrek Academy didn't reach the top eight just by luck, something we all saw quite clearly, didn't we?"
Xie Xie spoke with a resentful tone, "How can there still be people belittling our Shrek Academy? They are truly short-sighted!"
Tang Wulin gave a wry smile, "It's not surprising they think that way because due to our age, we have a much lower soul power rank compared to other teams. It's normal for us not to be favored!"
Xu Xiaoyan pouted, "That just makes it more challenging. Otherwise, by the time we reach their age, wouldn't we just be bullying the weak?"
Ye Xinglan coughed lightly, "Ahem... Xiao Yan's words may seem a bit arrogant, but I agree!"
Wu Siduo suddenly interjected, "If I remember correctly, Xing Lan should almost be breaking through to the fifth ring, right?"
Taken aback, Ye Xinglan nodded, "Yes, just two ranks away!"
Wu Siduo's beautiful eyes focused intently, "Then, why not try to break through tonight?"
Gu Yue decisively dismissed the idea, "That's impossible. How could a Soul Master break through two ranks in one day..."
Wu Siduo uttered with conviction, "No, it's possible, as long as there are Immortal Herbs!"
For some reason, in her heart, whenever there was a challenge, seeking Xu Sheng's help was never wrong!
The latter was, after all, the one who helped Yuanen Yehui absorb a terrifying hundred-thousand-year soul ring!!
Even the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion couldn't do that!
Xu Lizhi asked curiously, "Wu Siduo, since you've mentioned it, do you happen to know where to find Immortal Herbs?"
Xie Xie looked over with a face full of surprise, "Eh, Lizhi, when did you wake up? I didn't even notice!"
In an instant, Xu Lizhi's face darkened, feeling as if he had been affronted...
Is this the sorrow of a support-class Soul Master? So unnoticeable, even though he had been seriously injured earlier!
Wu Siduo shook her head, "I don't know where to find Immortal Herbs, but... Teacher Xu definitely knows!"
At this, Gu Yue's face changed dramatically, contemplating, "If it's Teacher Xu... then it's indeed possible for Xing Lan to break through tonight!"
How could the man who made Di Tian feel fear and tremble on a spiritual level be simple?
Xie Xie, eager to act, said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go find Teacher Xu right now. Keep in mind, a part of why we're fighting so hard is also because of his bet!"
Ye Xinglan made up her mind and nodded firmly, "Right! Let's go."
Any increase in strength meant a greater chance at winning the championship!
