—------------------—
Mu Xi extended an invitation, and Tang Wulin and his four companions all looked at her, immediately feeling a strong visual impact.
There, Leng Yaozhu, the only elder, exuded the charm of a mature woman with every gesture, yet even her stunning presence couldn't overshadow the gathering of brilliant young men and women.
Beside Leng Yaozhu, Feng Zaixing, the foremost among the stars, had a Face like jade, and his relaxed smile carried an unforgettable charm as he proactively stood up to invite them:
"Senior Sister is right, meeting is fate. Please come in, everyone."
His tone was relaxed, and his extraordinary mental force soothed their minds, reaching the five's ears with refreshing clarity, like a gentle spring breeze.
Xie Xie, being quite perceptive, saw that the situation was unusual and immediately pulled the hesitant Tang Wulin in front of himself and Xu Xiaoyan.
"Wulin, why didn't you say you knew them earlier? Hehe, we're all benefiting from this."
"Xie Xie, you..."
Tang Wulin looked at Xie Xie, who had pushed him forward, with a resentful expression. 'You're truly a good brother!'
Xie Xie pouted, his eyes mischievous. 'Everyone on the other side is a powerhouse, I can't handle it. Brother, you'll have to take the lead for a bit.'
'Who told you that you're the most handsome? You're perfect for being the Face.'
As brothers, we stab each other in the back.
Xu Xiaoyan's eyes darted around, and she also pushed Tang Wulin forward to reminisce with Mu Xi.
She had met some Geniuses, but these people gave her a stronger feeling than her own brother, Xu Xiaoyu.
Recalling Mu Xi's words, they might be students from the top academies on the continent.
Mu Xi chuckled, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then introduced the two parties to each other, quickly making a significant contribution to warming up Douluo Star.
"This is Your Majesty, the Heavenly Phoenix from the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, a Four-Word Battle Armor Master... This is the number one young person in Mingdu, the Divine Archer Flying Feather, Feng Zaixing..."
"Hiss~" "Ah?" "An idol!" "A Grandmaster, huh..."
Still reeling from the shock of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's Vice Pagoda Master, the five-person team heard about another heavyweight figure and instantly turned into a fan-chasing squad.
Xie Xie was the most excited, his eyes glinting with golden light, seemingly eager to go up and ask Feng Zaixing for an autograph.
Xu Xiaoyan's mouth formed an 'O' shape. 'Senior Sister Mu Xi said he's the top Genius on the continent, the value of that is too great.'
Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi inexplicably shrunk their necks. Their Spirit could not be said to be unrelated to Evil Soul Masters; it could only be said that going down the evil path had great prospects, and now they dared not look directly into Feng Zaixing's eyes.
Tang Wulin rarely visited the Spirit Net, so his reaction was the smallest among the five. He thought to himself, 'Teacher Mu Chen's connections are stronger than I imagined.'
Is a Blacksmith really so promising? Will I also be able to be like them in the future, no longer worrying about food?
Feng Zaixing walked out and extended a fair hand to Tang Wulin, who was at the front of the five, and said with a smile:
"Hello, I'm Feng Zaixing. You can call me Senior Brother."
Tang Wulin shook his hand in a daze, his eyes shining with excitement, "Senior Brother? Are you also Teacher Mu Chen's student?"
"No."
Feng Zaixing withdrew his hand, having a general understanding of Tang Wulin's strength, and shook his head, saying:
"But our teachers are from the same lineage. I came this time at Junior Martial Uncle's invitation to participate in the Tianhai Competition."
"Ah? Idol, you're going to participate? How can we still live?" Xie Xie jumped up, exclaiming in shock:
"Let alone our youth group, even the top team in the young adult group wouldn't last a minute against you."
Xu Xiaoyan nodded repeatedly, chiming in, "Yes, yes, Grandmaster, if you encounter us, please be merciful... Oh no, we'll just admit defeat ourselves."
Teacher Wu often said not to give up easily, but a Grandmaster kills Evil Soul Masters like chickens; surrendering is not shameful.
Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi, usually talkative, now had no Battle Intent and repeatedly said, "We'll surrender directly."
"Don't be nervous, I'm just here as an invited judge."
Feng Zaixing said with a smile, realizing for the first time that he was quite a celebrity across the entire continent.
Perhaps ordinary Evil Soul Masters, knowing his whereabouts, would flee at the mere mention of him? After all, his surname is Feng (meaning wind).
He set a goal: sooner or later, all Evil Soul Masters on the planet would "tremble at the mere mention of him."
"A judge is good, a judge is good. Idol, please don't get itchy hands."
Xie Xie let out a long sigh of relief. Just today, someone on the Spirit Net revealed that the other party had cleaved a five-ring Evil Spirit King with his sword. How terrifying was that?
If he didn't use his Battle Armor, even Teacher Wu couldn't easily defeat him, could he?
Xu Xiaoyan playfully stuck out her tongue, saying with a sigh of relief, "The Tianhai Alliance really has Face, and they truly think highly of us."
Hearing this, Feng Zaixing's expression became serious. "You are a Legacy of the Star Wheel Ice Staff Xu family. Your lineage is extraordinary, why belittle yourselves?"
"Ah? You even know about our family's Legacy?" Xu Xiaoyan said, flattered.
"The Absolute Establishment Star Wheel Ice Staff, a legend of the control system in the Spirit Master's world, how could I not know?"
Feng Zaixing praised them from the bottom of his heart and said seriously, "If you're interested, come to Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy; the Federation values talent and will hold a high position for you."
Xu Xiaoyan's thoughts froze for a few seconds, and she pointed to herself, saying, "Me? Go to Mingdu?"
How does this feel a little unreal?
"Yes."
Feng Zaixing nodded and called on his senior schoolmate, "Yehui, why don't you introduce it to her?"
"Okay, Class Leader."
Yuanen Yehui, who was inexplicably cued, immediately put on an eager smile, took out the school brochure Feng Zaixing had given her, and took up her post as a recruiting Senior Sister.
While recruiting the innocent young girl, Yuanen Yehui secretly glanced at Feng Zaixing, thinking that this Class Leader probably had some special hobbies.
However, her father used to often ask her to coax relatives... It made her quite nostalgic.
Xie Xie and Tang Wulin watched the harmonious scene with wide eyes, somewhat unable to keep up with the situation.
Xiaoyan, who usually slacked off the most, had such high talent that even Mingdu's number one Genius took notice?
But then they remembered that the Star Staff had even strong-controlled Wu Zhangkong for a second, and suddenly it seemed normal.
She was a peerless mechanism monster; ordinary people like them couldn't compare... Outside the hotel, two men of extraordinary appearance and temperament sat at a roadside stall, drinking wine Face to Face.
Discovering that his student had been poached, Wu Zhangkong, with his handsome Face and cold demeanor, frowned slightly and asked the older man in front of him:
"Senior Brother, why are people from Mingdu here?"
"Probably the same reason as us."
Lan Muzi put down his wine glass, his Face slightly flushed, and looked around, saying, "The Tianhai Alliance's Spirit Master quality isn't good. If the Tianhai Competition can invite us, they can also invite Mingdu."
"Feng Zaixing... his reputation is great. He's a very formidable rising star, and the others aren't weak either."
Turning his head, Lan Muzi glanced at Tang Wulin and his four companions, then asked with a smile:
"Do you want to bring them into Shrek?"
Wu Zhangkong nodded. Naturally proud, he was quite respectful in front of Lan Muzi, and said with a desolate expression:
"I... I let Teacher down, and I have no Face to see him. I hope they can make up for my mistakes."
If it were anyone else poaching them, he would definitely step forward, but Leng Yaozhu was there, and he simply wasn't enough.
As helpless as Yuanen Zhentian, he could only wait until afterward.
"Since you can't let go, why not go back and see? Elder Zhuo has been sulking for years, waiting for you."
Lan Muzi sighed deeply and advised gently, "You were once someone who had hoped to inherit the position of Pavilion Master. Senior Brother doesn't want to see you like this."
"Senior Brother has the potential for the ultimate, but I've long been disheartened. How could I have the Face to go back?" Wu Zhangkong said with a self-mocking laugh.
"Don't say that. None of us wanted that to happen; I would have made the same choice as you."
Lan Muzi shook his head, a hint of depression appearing on his Face, and said, "This past year, the academy's situation hasn't been good, and neither has mine. I truly hope you come back."
"With Your Majesty, the Sky Pillar, guarding the academy, how could it be like this?"
Wu Zhangkong's expression tensed. He glanced at the people in the hotel, his pupils flashing.
"Because of the Federation?"
"Yes, although the storm in Mingdu has subsided, the academy's reputation has been severely damaged. The Body Sect publicly released 'Secrets of the Body,' and some old stories were dug up again, so its reputation is no longer what it once was."
Lan Muzi tapped his knuckles on the table, his voice low, "From Heaven Dou City to Mingdu, many citizens are dissatisfied with the academy, and the military has even stronger opinions."
"Although the Pavilion Master is strong, he must consider the overall situation. I'm leading the team this time with a mission: to establish Shrek's illustrious reputation. This is a death order my Teacher gave me."
He looked up and said with a bitter smile, "Furthermore... Teacher was stripped of his power by the Pavilion Master, and I entered the Sea God's Pavilion prematurely. The elders don't like to manage things, and I have a lot to do. Right now, I'm like a rat in a bellows, caught between two fires."
Wu Zhangkong fell silent upon hearing this. Lan Muzi's Teacher was Long Yeyue.
This person was extremely difficult to serve, and she must have vented all her anger on Lan Muzi. Senior Brother was caught in the middle.
Fortunately, Senior Brother's temperament was extremely calm; if it were him, he would probably go crazy.
"Drip-drop" "Drip-drop"
As the two sat in silence, the cool night wind brought drizzling water droplets, falling like large and small pearls onto a jade plate, splashing their clothes.
"Let's go back first."
The troubled Lan Muzi closed his eyes and sighed, then stood up.
Wu Zhangkong followed, wanting to learn more about Shrek from this Senior Brother.
Rain covered the night sky, and the dazzling glow of the hotel separated the inside and outside into two Worlds.
The Geniuses of Mingdu rejoiced, singing and drinking; the two Prodigies of the previous generation from Shrek, each with their own thoughts, gradually disappeared into the darkness.
