"When these words came out, Halosa pursed his lips and echoed, 'Yes, Sect Hierarch is right, the entire Xingluo Empire is eyeing us covetously! We really should take care.'"
Leng Yulai took a step forward and said, 'Sect Hierarch, let me handle this matter!'"
Who knew that the Ghost Emperor would shake his head and turn his gaze to Nanali, 'No, this task shall be entrusted to you, Nanali. With your strength, you should be able to easily take control of the members of the Spirit Pagoda!'"
In his view, Nanali's Martial Soul could bewitch Soul Masters weaker than herself, making her the best candidate to secretly control the Spirit Transmission Tower Branch!
Upon hearing this, Leng Yulai's brows slightly raised...
Clearly, he was not quite satisfied with the Ghost Emperor's answer, but he didn't dare to say much more...
Nanali responded expressionlessly, 'Yes, Pagoda Master!'"
The Ghost Emperor glanced at the others, 'Then, aside from the Dark Blood Devil, the rest of you may leave!'"
Although the Dark Blood Devil had truly become an undeniable bloodthirsty monster, his strength could indeed do a lot for the Holy Spirit Cult!
Seeing this, except for the Dark Blood Devil, the others signaled and then turned to leave...
The Dark Blood Devil, his bloody red eyes flashing with a cold light, asked, 'Sect Hierarch, do you have any other matters to discuss with me?'"
The lack of killing Soul Masters in the last mission had made him very irritable...
This time, nothing would stop him from claiming a few lives to soothe himself!
The Ghost Emperor, knowing this, spoke expressionlessly, 'Hmm, Dark Blood Devil, your task this time is to kill at will within the Xingluo Empire, unrestrained by anything!'"
In doing so, he would be able to reduce the Xingluo Empire's attention to the Spirit Transmission Tower Branch...
The Dark Blood Devil showed an incredulous look, 'Sect Hierarch, are you serious??'"
The overwhelming killing intent that had been long suppressed within him burst forth in an instant, as if congealing into substance around him...
The Ghost Emperor said calmly, 'Of course, but... try not to lay hands on the Royal family of Xingluo Empire as much as possible!'"
The Dark Blood Devil, again receiving confirmation, licked the corner of his mouth and said with a chilling tone, 'Don't worry, Sect Hierarch!'"
He could finally let loose his heart and spirit, and indulge in pleasure!
...
Thus, several months quickly passed by...
Tang Wulin and his companions had also made certain improvements in their overall strength!
Of course, Wu Siduo, fearing a repeat of last time's incident, had intentionally slowed down her training pace, so her soul power rank was not much higher than Gu Yue and the others!
At this moment, they were standing in the square of Shrek Academy, gazing towards the teaching building in front of them...
Xie Xie said with a face full of emotion, 'We've finally reached the opening day of school, this should be our last time entering the outer court teaching building, right?'"
Xu Xiaoyan teased, 'Come on, if you perform poorly after entering the Inner Court, you'll still be kicked out! Of course, the chances are low!'"
Tang Wulin chuckled, 'It's just entering the Inner Court, why say it so sentimentally...'"
Wu Siduo nodded, 'Yes, no matter where we go, we are students of Shrek Academy!'"
Xie Xie's eyes shifted and he looked towards Dai Yun'er and Long Yue, who had not interjected, and raised an eyebrow, 'Speaking of which... Long Yue, why haven't you left Shrek Academy yet? I remember you've been here for two months, right?'"
Long Yue cast him a glance, 'What's it to you?'"
Although he was still somewhat displeased, the hostility from the start was gone...
Dai Yun'er explained, 'The emperor, my father, contacted me recently, saying that the current situation in the Xingluo Empire is not optimistic, so he has spoken with the academy to extend indefinitely the time for our return to the Xingluo Empire!'"
Hearing this, Xie Xie's eyes bulged, "Wait a minute... unlimited extension?? Doesn't that mean you guys will be staying with us for a very long time to come!"
Dai Yun'er blinked her beautiful eyes, "That's right! How about it? Are you happy or not?"
Xie Xie's mouth twitched a few times as he bravely said, "Happy... hehe."
He couldn't wait for the two to leave, how could he possibly be happy!
Seeing Xie Xie's emotions written all over his face, Dai Yun'er's face flashed a mischievous smile as she said again, "Since you're so happy, let me tell you something else, Big Brother Long and I have already received the approval of the Sea God Pavilion Elders!"
"So, before we leave Shrek Academy, we'll be interacting with you all as inner court students!"
Long Yue nodded in affirmation, "That's right!!"
As soon as these words came out, including Xie Xie, everyone exclaimed, "What??"
If they could barely accept what was just said, then this statement was like a depth charge, shattering their worldviews...
Ye Xinglan frowned and said, "This is impossible, traditionally exchange students can only stay in the outer court, why can Dai Yun'er and Long Yue become inner court students?"
Gu Yue shook her head, "I don't know, but with their strength, they have indeed reached the level to enter the inner court!"
It could be said they were worthy of the status of inner court students!
Xu Xiaoyan let out a sigh, "Ah, if the Sea God Pavilion Elders say so, they must have their reasons. Let's not speculate wildly!"
Tang Wulin cut off everyone's conversation, "Alright, it's time to head to the classroom, I'm sure the other students are already there!"
With that said, the group entered their original class...
After all the students took their seats, Xu Sheng, the class teacher, finally arrived fashionably late...
Standing on the podium, he looked down at the students with a smile, "Hello everyone, I hope you're well! I wonder if you managed to practice diligently during the vacation?"
"Of course, Teacher Xu, I've broken through to Soul King! Impressive, right?"
"Psh, I've already reached Soul King. And you dare to brag about it!"
"I didn't break through to Soul King, but my soul power rank went up a whole three levels!!"
After a brief scan, Xu Sheng praised them, "Hmm... it seems that no one has been slacking in their cultivation. But next, I'm going to announce something very important!"
As soon as he said this, Zheng Yiran and the others turned serious...
But those like Tang Wulin who were well aware of the matter seemed much more relaxed!
Xu Sheng continued, "Due to certain students' exceptional performance in their end-of-term assessments, and with the approval of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, they will be exceptionally promoted to the inner court!"
In an instant, all the students were excited, "Sss... really? Exceptional entry into the inner court!"
"Could it be me? I exceeded my targets in the end-of-term assessment!"
"Forget it, it's definitely not your turn, it's most likely Tang Wulin and his group!"
Yang Nianxia and others clenched their fists tightly. Did they have a chance to be promoted to the inner court?
Xu Sheng gave a slight smile and began to announce, "Now, I'm going to announce the list of students who have been promoted to the inner court!"
"They are Tang Wulin! Xie Xie, Gu Yue..."
