"..."
Lin Xuyao frowned, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, and looked towards the corner where Yu Longheng and Ye Xinglan were standing with their heads bowed, silent.
They were now very clear about the course of events.
The former, due to a conflict with a few individuals from Eastsea Academy during the previous final exams, wanted to take revenge.
The latter was just a conflict arising from some verbal altercation...
What kind of mess was this?!
Ye Xinglan, feeling Lin Xuyao's gaze, her eyes slightly red, lowered her head, not daring to look at everyone.
As for Yu Longheng... he had completely shut down.
Huo Yuhao's punch was like planting a seed of magic deep within his soul.
Every time his thoughts touched that figure, the desire to submit would madly grow like vines, tearing his mind to pieces.
He could only empty his mind, forcing himself not to think, not to recall… otherwise, he was afraid he would go insane.
Reason struggled, while the subconscious constantly whispered submission, the two forces tore at his spirit, to the edge of collapse, or… complete surrender.
In the silence, Shen Yi walked into the room.
Ye Xinglan immediately stood up, tears in her eyes, and said, "Teacher, this matter is because of me, I will take responsibility, willing to accept any punishment."
This competition had caused the academy's reputation to plummet, someone needed to be held accountable, and it was her duty.
"Xinglan, enough."
Shen Yi slightly frowned, sternly saying, "Your matter will be dealt with when we return. The elder is already on her way, she will handle this, don't cause any more trouble recently!"
The consequences of this competition had exceeded her expectations, it seemed there were many forces behind pushing the waves, giving rise to many unfavorable rumors against the academy.
What Shrek had stolen the military soul aircraft, students injuring people on the streets, angering the soul spirit ancestor, and so on, all kinds of rumors had jumped out.
Even the matter of Shrek stealing the secrets of the Sun Moon Empire through exchange students ten thousand years ago was pulled out… who knows who spread it.
With Shrek Academy now being defeated by one person, the direction of public opinion was very unfavorable for Shrek, the academy's reputation had been greatly affected, it was not something she could handle.
Even she, as the leading teacher, would have to accept punishment, what could Ye Xinglan, a student, do to change the situation?
She only hoped these little ones wouldn't cause more trouble.
Ye Xinglan's delicate body slightly trembled, her face pale as she lowered her head, "Yes!"
…
"Don't be rash, the academy is not in the right in this matter, don't conflict with the Spirit Pagoda. The Spirit Pagoda has not participated in the public opinion attack, you should also be polite."
Hearing the instructions from the soul communication device, the elder of the Sea God's Pavilion and the outer court dean of Shrek Academy, Cai Yu'er, who was on her way to the Skysea Alliance, frowned and said, "Amorous Douluo, they insulted the academy's honor, paving the way for the younger generation, stepping on our Shrek Academy, you want me to calmly talk with them?"
"The conflict was started by our students! And where is the honor? The academy's honor disappeared ten thousand years ago…"
As if knowing this statement was inappropriate, Amorous Douluo paused, then continued, "Forget it, in your eyes, I'm just an outsider who joined halfway, I don't understand your honor, I won't say more. When Yun Ming returns, let him talk to you about it."
Cai Yu'er, looking at the disconnected soul communication device in front of her, slightly frowned, put it away, and took out the soul light screen, checking the information of the Shrek students participating in the competition.
"Ye Xinglan, Yu Longheng…"
Seeing the two causes of the conflict, Cai Yu'er directly sent the former to the outer court, the latter was also marked by her to not enter the inner court.
Whether there were any other punishments would be decided after the talks with the Spirit Pagoda.
Then, Cai Yu'er flipped to Ning Yue's information, seeing the background of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect, expressionlessly turned the page.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Sect was still working hard for the fairy grass… she didn't even know what to say.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda could be said to be a martial soul abandoned by this era.
From the battle armor, the enhancement of battle armor could not be superimposed on the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda martial soul, very awkward.
Secondly, from the soul spirit, except for the Blue Silver Grass, which could be difficult to strengthen from the soul spirit, since they had no bloodline, they could only start from the attribute, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda was a treasure martial soul, like the sword or knife martial soul, had no attribute.
This was also one of the reasons the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect leaned towards Shrek Academy, they needed to find suitable soul spirits to nurture, naturally looking for successful cases first.
But, turning to Shrek Academy was temporarily meaningless, because they didn't even have the ability to absorb the fairy grass soul spirit…
You should know, the Spirit Abyss Realm was usually a spiritual realm that Titled Douluo could touch, and the Spirit Sea Realm below the Spirit Abyss Realm could usually only accommodate three soul spirits, for a ten-thousand-year soul spirit, it could only accommodate one yellow, one purple, one black soul spirit.
Now the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect's leader's cultivation reached level 79, his spirit power also stuck at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Sect's leader didn't even have the ability to accommodate the ferocious beast soul spirit!
As for directly eating like the ancestor Ten Thousand Years ago, you see if that 200, 000-year-old fairy grass ferocious beast would agree.
So seeing the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect's disciples, Cai Yu'er didn't even know how to evaluate.
This was not just whether the academy was willing to give them access to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, but whether they could get what they wanted after entering…
After handling Ning Yue and other students' matters, Cai Yuer flipped through Huo Yuhao's information, gradually frowning.
Now the best choice was to have Huo Yuhao enter the academy as an exchange student, some unfavorable rumors would naturally disappear.
But the Spirit Pagoda even gave the title of Spirit Sovereign to Huo Yuhao, the possibility of him entering the academy was too small, unless they were willing to pay a huge price.
Besides Huo Yuhao…
"Gu Yuena, Xu Xiaoyan, Xie Xie, Wang Jinxi, Zhang Yangzi, Tang Wulin."
Cai Yuer's gaze moved among the few.
If Huo Yuhao's teammates were Shrek students, they could also guide the direction of public opinion, with Wu Zhangkong and their teacher-student relationship, it was not impossible to completely suppress this matter.
Unfortunately, Wu Zhangkong was a stubborn donkey, according to Shen Yi, it was impossible for him to express his position, they could only start from these little ones.
"Directly joining Shrek, obtaining the internal court disciples' resources, you guys are lucky."
These Eastsea Academy students, besides Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena, the others might not have received much attention from the Spirit Pagoda, directly entering the internal court to receive top resources was also a chance and honor for these children.
…
The next day, on the audience stand, Huo Yuhao and others watched the forging competition, cheering for Tang Wulin participating in the final.
After watching for a while, Xie Xie complained, "So boring, although I can see Wulin's forging skills are extraordinary, but watching the hammer keep hitting my eyes are tired."
"Don't be sarcastic towards Wulin. Moreover, this kind of professional competition is only interesting to the forging world, if you find it boring, you can look at other people's reactions."
Xu Xiaoyan pointed at Mu Chen not far away, smiling, "That's the president of Eastsea Forging Association, look at his expression."
Xie Xie and Zhang Yangzi looked over and immediately laughed.
Mu Chen was staring at Tang Wulin's forging movements, his eyes red, as if he wanted to go down and take Tang Wulin as his disciple on the spot, but he seemed to consider something, could only sit on the audience stand…
"This reminds me of a saying, the pain of unrequited love."
Zhang Yangzi laughed, "Too late."
The forging competition, Wulin was representing the Spirit Pagoda, the meaning was clear.
"Clang, "
Tang Wulin struck the last hammer, a spiritual light released, the thousand-forged silver bloomed with dazzling light, the patterns even.
Spiritual light released, thousand-forged one-grade!
Ten years old, level four blacksmith!
"A forging genius that appears once in a thousand years, why is it someone else's family?" Mu Chen muttered to himself.
A group of Skysea Forging Association's blacksmiths nodded in agreement, also sighing secretly.
If it was Mu Chen's disciple, they dared to shamelessly detain this little friend first, luring him into the Skysea Forging Association, but the Spirit Pagoda… forget it.
The president of Skysea Forging Association personally awarded Tang Wulin the champion prize.
Thousand-forged one-grade, it was undoubtedly the champion!
Tang Wulin solemnly accepted the award, his eyes sparkling with excitement, revealing a satisfied smile. He turned and waved vigorously to his teammates on the competition stage, receiving applause from Huo Yuhao and others.
With the joy of victory, Tang Wulin walked towards the player passage, planning to return to the audience stand to meet his teammates.
But just as he stepped into the shadows of the passage, a tall and burly figure suddenly blocked his way.
It was a man with a body as sturdy as an iron tower, his muscles bulging, exuding a fierce aura. His arms crossed, he looked down at Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin had seen this figure during his studies at the Spirit Pagoda's forging department.
He was the master of the Heaven Dou branch, one of the Spirit Pagoda's peak combatants, and also an eight-level Saint Blacksmith… Bear Lord!
Teacher Luo said there was a big figure paying attention to this competition, could it be him?
Bear Lord, sensing the blood energy on Tang Wulin's body, seemed to think of something, slightly smiling at the corner of his mouth.
"Forging talent is not bad, want to be my disciple, learn with me?"
Tang Wulin was instantly stunned, his brain blank, dazed looking at Bear Lord.
A peak existence of the continent, a Limit Douluo suddenly appearing in front of him, wanting to take him as a disciple?
Happiness came too suddenly, he needed to calm down…
