And Tang Wulin and the others, under Zhao Song's lead, selected the second Tang Sect Secret Technique to learn, and then quickly rushed back to Shrek Academy…
Upon returning to the classroom and seeing Gu Yue sitting in her seat, smiles appeared on everyone's face!
Tang Wulin eagerly said, "Gu Yue, you're back?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Gu Yue turned her eyes towards him and softly replied, "Mm, I'm back!"
Xu Xiaoyan walked over and pinched her cheek, complaining, "Gu Yue, why did you leave without telling us? Do you know how worried we were?"
Xie Xie also looked displeased and said, "Yeah, yeah, Gu Yue, did you not consider us as friends? You left for two whole months without a single word!"
Ye Xinglan said with a complex tone, "If something happened, Gu Yue, you could have talked it over with us. You don't have to bear it alone!"
Hearing these words, Gu Yue pursed her thin lips and apologized, "Sorry for worrying everyone, but I had something very important to do, and that's why I left suddenly!"
Wu Siduo said flatly, "It's good that you're back, but while you were away, we've been promoted to Yellow-class Fighters in the Tang Sect! Don't fall behind."
Gu Yue responded with a "Hmm!" to that…
At this moment, Tang Wulin took a deep breath, looking intently at her, "Gu Yue, can we talk alone?"
There were still many questions in his heart he wanted to ask…
Why when Teacher Xu asked that question, did Gu Yue's emotions change so drastically…
What kind of undisclosed secret was she hiding!
Unexpectedly, Gu Yue just gave him a deep look and explained, "Wulin, I know what you want to ask, but I can't tell you now!"
Xie Xie, seeing this, disdainfully remarked, "Hey, hey, why are you two being all cryptic again? Can't you just say it here?"
Xu Xiaoyan said enviously, "Always with these encrypted conversations, your relationship really is great!"
Ye Xinglan chimed in, "Exactly, if we didn't know better, we'd think you were a couple in sync!"
Hearing these words, even with Tang Wulin's thick skin, he looked a bit embarrassed, "Ev... everyone stop talking nonsense, Gu Yue and I are not like that!"
It was undeniable that he had good feelings for Gu Yue, but nowhere near being a couple…
Besides, he didn't even know what Gu Yue thought of him, just a normal friend? Or like what everyone just said…
…
In a particularly dense forest, the leader "Hei Yi" coldly said, "Everyone, halt!"
Upon his words falling, the Tang Sect disciples behind him stopped their steps, focusing their gazes on him…
Hei Yi took a deep breath and declared, "Everyone, we're about to enter Dragon Valley, here are a few reminders!"
"First, after entering Dragon Valley, do not act on your own! Avoid unexpected situations!"
"Second, curiosity killed the cat, do not touch or step on things out of curiosity, it might trigger a mechanism!"
"Third…"
"To sum it all up, just follow the orders of your group leaders, understood?"
The others replied in unison, "Yes, Hei Yi!"
Only then did Hei Yi nod, "Then, pick up the pace!"
Following those words, including himself, everyone burst forth with their fastest speed, heading towards Dragon Valley…
After crossing several mountain peaks and rivers, they finally arrived at the top of a mountain, in front of a mysterious cave!
...
As for Long Yue on the arena stage, looking at the calm-faced Yuanen Yehui, the pressure in his heart increased a few notches…
This person before him, from accepting his duel invitation to stepping onto the stage, never showed a trace of gravity!
As if dueling him was just a trivial matter!
This made him speak solemnly, "In the upcoming duel, I will use my true strength, I hope you take it seriously, otherwise… you'll lose badly!"
Yuanen Yehui's beautiful eyes glanced at him, "I will. What's the duel rule? According to your Xingluo Empire?"
Long Yue coldly said, "No need, a normal duel will suffice! Enough talk, let's begin!"
With those words, he released his Martial Soul, and visibly, behind him appeared an enormous dragon about dozens of meters large, covered in brown dragon scales, exuding a powerful oppressive force!
It was none other than the top-tier Beast Soul, the Mountain Dragon King!
Seeing this scene, Yuanen Yehui's expression turned serious, her heart startled, "Hmm? It's actually a top-tier Beast Soul! Were it my former self, I'm afraid I would not be confident of winning?!"
Long Yue controlled the Mountain Dragon King behind him to let out a piercing dragon roar, then coldly shouted, "Release your Martial Soul!"
Yuanen Yehui pressed her thin lips, without any hesitation, she released the Fallen Angel emitting a jet black aura…
Six Soul Rings slowly rose beneath her feet…
Especially the last two dazzling Soul Rings, constantly emitting a blood-red glow…
The terrifying pressure seemed to engulf everything on the arena stage, making the entire space incredibly oppressive…
At this moment, Long Yue's legs trembled a bit, his pupils involuntarily contracted, completely entranced…
This woman before him, not only had reached the Soul Emperor level, but… the fifth and sixth Soul Rings were actually hundred-thousand-year soul rings!!
If an ordinary Soul Master absorbed them, they would definitely explode and die!
How on earth did she manage it!
Below, watching, Xie Xie looked at Long Yue, who was in shock, and couldn't help but taunt, "Long Yue, what are you standing around for? Start the fight, weren't you just boasting that you wouldn't lose?"
Xu Xiaoyan also joined in to provoke, "Exactly, exactly, weren't you boasting that you wouldn't lose, only to become a spineless shrimp as soon as you got on stage?"
Yue Zhengyu raised an eyebrow, "Don't chicken out, isn't there more courage among Monster Academy's students than this?"
He couldn't express how delighted he was!
Ye Xinglan crossed her arms and laughed lightly, "Seeing Long Yue like that, he must be terrified, indeed, Yuanen Yehui's Soul Ring Configuration is beyond ordinary understanding!"
Xu Lizhi nodded in agreement, "Mm, even with a few of us together, we're no match for Yehui. Long Yue, he's just asking for trouble!"
Coming back to his senses, Long Yue only felt his previous performance was utterly humiliating, gritting his teeth, "Third soul skill, Dragon King's Angry Blood!"
He knew he was definitely not this woman's match, but backing down now would only make a fool of himself to those watching!
