"You've also left Shrek?"
Xiao Xiao was slightly surprised. Wang Dong was the young master of the Haotian Sect. If he left Shrek, wouldn't it mean that the Haotian Sect and Shrek had also severed their relationship?
"Yeah, there's nothing useful in that damn place, and you're gone, so why should I stay there?"
Wang Dong looked indifferent, saying that it was just a trivial matter and not worth mentioning. He said that he was now free and could fly freely from now on.
In the distance, Ling Luochen raised his eyelids and became alert, staring at Wang Dong from afar with a strange light in his eyes.
Does this mean that all Shrek people who come to the sun and moon will have to get rid of their "glory"?
Over the past two years, she, Zhang Lexuan and Xiao Xiao have been practicing peacefully and improving their skills in an orderly manner. Xu Sanshi, who stayed here, often ran around with Xiao Hongchen. It was said that he had bought a house in Mingdu and obviously planned to stay there for a long time. Jiang Nannan also said goodbye to Shrek completely.
The Xuanming Sect's young master has been cultivating in the Sun-Moon Empire for over two years without returning... If I think about it more, could this be due to the tacit approval of some important figures in the Xuanming Sect? It's hard to imagine.
He Caitou is still imprisoned in a special prison, and few people know where he is now. Unless Shrek launches another suicide attack, the possibility of him being released from prison is infinitely close to zero.
Now that Wang Dong is gone again, the golden generation of Shrek External Academy, which was said to appear once in a century, has almost collapsed. Only Beibei is left to carry the responsibility. If nothing unexpected happens, they will lose the championship again in the next competition.
Ling Luochen knew from a simple assumption that Beibei, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu and others could not be a match for that scary guy.
Thinking of the Lord of Heavenly Court who was elusive and disappeared for two years, who quietly created souls, set up his own sect, and even brought in powerful beasts from the two major soul beast gathering places, Xingdou and the Far North, to support him, Ling Luochen couldn't help but feel a chill.
More than two years ago, they lost miserably and were completely defeated.
In a head-on confrontation, even with all the amplification Beibei had accumulated, he was still no match for his opponent. Xu Tianxi shot him in the chest and he nearly lost his life.
Ma Xiaotao's powerful move was broken by Xu Tianxi using Beibei as a shield, and then she was hunted down by Xu Tianxi with all her might. Even the evil soul master Super Douluo could not save her life.
He was punched in the abdomen by him using physical skills, and then he was grabbed by the ankle and thrown out, seriously injuring Ning Tian. Just thinking about the scene of himself being dizzy and turning into a "windmill" to smash towards Ning Tian, Ling Luochen felt a deep sense of shame and fear in his heart.
It's fine if you can fight, but why can't you just pull out another soul guide and send Ning Tian flying? Why are you using me as a weapon? I'm a genius, but I have to save face, right?
(Ning Tian: If he uses the soul guide, I'm dead, you cold-blooded woman! Bah!)
(Xu Tianxi: I thought Ma Xiaotao's malicious killing on the court was cruel enough, but I didn't expect Shrek to have a master! How could I not be satisfied with your teammates using large-scale lethal weapons? I'll give you a shot next time I get a chance.)
A blush flashed across his cheeks, then quickly disappeared. Ling Luochen regained his cool demeanor, his mind wandering as he pondered what the next competition would be like in more than two years.
Perhaps, just like last time, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team, led by that terrifying figure, would crush all opponents and win the championship in one fell swoop?
But for that person, top geniuses whose average age was five years older than him were defeated by him. Is there any point in fighting with people of the same age?
"Unless an unprecedented Soul Sage-level genius appears in the next tournament, no one will be his opponent."
An idea emerged in Ling Luochen's mind, and then he smiled bitterly. Over the past ten thousand years, Shrek Academy has produced countless geniuses, but no one has ever fought in the competition arena as a seven-ringed soul saint. However, Xu Tianxi can definitely do it.
His eyes were like sharp swords, his brows were sharp, and he looked calm and composed while dominating the arena. He was a terrifying figure who was destined to suffocate the geniuses of this generation.
Perhaps when he was young, Old Mu could have fought against him, but the chances of winning were hard to say. The mini version of Mu Beibei was obviously not qualified, and he hadn't even awakened the Holy Dragon of Light.
Ten thousand years ago, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex was vaguely considered the world's number one beast spirit, but in this era, it is obviously no longer able to defend its position as the overlord.
At this time, Wang Dong chuckled a few times, interrupting Ling Luochen's thoughts.
"Hey, Xiao Xiao, it's rare for us to meet. We must have some fun next time. You've been in the Sun-Moon Empire for over two years. Do you know any fun places?"
Xiao Xiao opened her mouth slightly and said hesitantly, "Ah... I've been practicing in Mingdu for more than two years and haven't been out much, so I'm not very familiar with it. How about you and I go back to the temporary academy in Mingdu to visit it? The cultivation atmosphere there is very good..."
Over the past two years, Xiao Xiao's few outings were almost all for activities organized by the Control Department's Soul Guidance Department, such as going to other top academies in the Sun-Moon Empire to participate in exchange competitions.
In fact, the other departments within the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy could not stand the crazy people in the Control Department who were looking for fights everywhere under the leadership of Ji Juechen and the spiritual guidance of Xu Tianxi, so they pushed hard to get these guys out, and Jing Hongchen readily agreed.
Most of the people Xu Tianxi brought back were warmongers. If they couldn't find evil soul masters, they would find their own people to practice with. Jing Hongchen sometimes even felt that Ji Juechen's eyes showed the desire to fight when he looked at him, so he quickly threw them out to harm other academies.
Jing Hongchen was quite satisfied with the results afterwards.
After being visited by the Madhouse led by Ji Juechen, the top domestic academies such as Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy completely gave up the idea of catching up with the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. They just insisted on sending them away and recommending them to other academies in Mingdu.
Besides that, Xiao Xiao went out to participate in the collective team-building activities of the outstanding students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. However, these occasions were mostly related to soul guides.
There were few people like Wang Dong who were lazy in cultivation in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. They hardly considered entertainment matters and were all working hard, with anger in their hearts.
The dean said that Kong Tianxi, the country's number one genius in a thousand years, never slept while practicing at school. He always used meditation instead of hibernation.
When he was energetic, he was either fighting with the sword madman Ji Juechen or plunging into the laboratory to study advanced soul guides. This is how he led his team to achieve achievements that attracted national attention.
The power of example comes first, and Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen and other parties involved have never denied these things. Whenever they talk about Xu Tianxi, they have an attitude of "this kid is practicing like crazy", so no one has ever doubted this.
In fact, the only difference between Xu Tianxi and the rumors is that he still takes a nap occasionally, but it cannot be said to be an exaggeration, because he spends almost all his nights absorbing moonlight and cultivating his spiritual power.
Xu Tianxi once said to Xiao Hongchen in private, "Can a student who can't even overcome his desire to sleep be called a top genius? Genius is achieved through hard work!"
This sentence was compiled by Meng Hongchen into "Quotations from the Royal Academy's Top Geniuses" and made into a banner posted on the academy's wall of famous quotes, inspiring the entire academy to develop in the direction of desperate competition.
Perhaps it was because someone had frightened her psychologically, but Xiao Xiao was also deeply impressed by this sentence. She repeated it and told Wang Dong that she had been living a very fulfilling life in the Sun-Moon Empire during this period, and she could already go three nights without sleeping in a year.
When Wang Dong heard all this, she felt like the sky was falling. Her beautiful and bright eyes suddenly opened wide, pointing at Xiao Xiao and wanting to say, "You have changed."
Surprise, sadness and other emotions surged in her heart.
This, this, this. I was under a lot of pressure before leaving Shrek. A group of crazy teachers kept shouting about the glory and practicing hard. After leaving Shrek and coming to the Sun-Moon Empire, the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy turned out to be a paradise for the King of Rolls. But the pressure is still so great?
Didn't Shrek leave for nothing? My original intention of traveling thousands of miles to the Sun-Moon Empire was to travel and vacation, not to follow along!
"Xiao Xiao, twin spirit geniuses like us don't need to work so hard to succeed. There's no need to rush into cultivation."
Wang Dong looked carefully at Xiao Xiao, who was still petite among her peers but had almost unrivaled soul power, and said, "There is no need to work so hard."
Xiao Xiao shook her head and insisted, "Wang Dong, you don't know. The academy told me that I can only have the opportunity to represent the academy if I break through to the Soul Emperor level before the next competition begins. I'm already over fourteen, and time is very tight. I don't have much time to waste."
Wang Dong's mouth twitched as he said, "I see you're already level 44. Beibei, Xu Sanshi, and the others weren't much stronger than you at your age. Why are you bothering yourself? Is the competition at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy really that intense?"
"It's huge. There are so many monsters there that even my twin martial spirits seem insignificant. That guy Xu Sanshi is already striving for the Soul Emperor level. I don't know if I can catch up to him."
Xiao Xiao sighed and unknowingly used the word "monster".
"Are you free to accompany me this time?" Wang Dong asked with concern.
"Of course I have time for you."
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, so of course we should spend a few days together. The academy has also given me a long vacation, so I can take you to have fun in Mingdu."
"Wow, that's great! I must try all the delicious food in Mingdu and walk through its streets and alleys." Wang Dong's eyes sparkled.
At this time, Ling Luochen walked in and said softly, "Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao is here to accompany you this time. I will be responsible for your safety and guidance. If you need anything, you can come to me. We... can be considered classmates in the past."
"Don't worry, don't worry. I won't be polite to you if I have something to say, Senior Sister Ling."
Wang Dong jumped up, quickly packed his luggage, and said to the two of them, "Now, let's hurry back to Mingdu. Shall we go?"
Xiao Xiao followed with a smile, Ling Luochen's expression became complicated as he followed quietly behind.
Seeing Wang Dong so happy, she silently decided not to let Wang Dong know that Xiao Xiao came out not only to see him, but also to accept a task from a mysterious big shot in the Heavenly Court.
The mission is to make Wang Dong, the young master of Haotian Sect who is suspected to be a key dangerous element, live a life of luxury and enjoyment in Mingdu, paralyze his will with a happy offensive, and cut off his possibility of finding important intelligence in Mingdu.
In particular, he must not be allowed to go near the Heavenly Court to investigate the soul technology that is still being secretly researched.
The mission reward is a ten thousand year old soul bone, which can be used to compensate for a long period of hard training.
Of course, Ling Luochen also received rewards.
"I don't know who that big shot is. He's so generous. They say the Sun-Moon Empire is short of soul beasts, but I think they have quite a lot. Ten-thousand-year soul bones can be easily given out as rewards."
Ling Luochen sighed secretly, then freed his mind and sent a message to Zhang Lexuan to discuss the test.
"Big Sister, Wang Dong is here. Xiao Xiao is quite infatuated with him. Please help me think of a way to test him."
I'm sorry, Wang Dong. We are here with a mission. We don't want to doubt your sincerity, but there are always some people above us who are worried. As long as you are not a big pig's hoof, we won't make things too difficult for you.
