"Are the children all here?"
After receiving Aglaia's message, Elder Song and Elder Zhuang rushed to the White Tiger Hotel.
With Star Luo City in such chaos, they were at a loss, completely clueless about what had happened.
The only thing they knew was to protect the members of the Shrek Academy team. These children were the future of Shrek Academy; even sacrificing their lives to protect them would be a huge win for the academy.
"One is missing. Bei Bei said Dai Huabin went to Star Luo Square to find his girlfriend Zhu Lu."
"Oh, right, Xia Die was taken away from Star Luo City yesterday by her father, Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Qiqiang, to hunt for her third spirit ring."
Wang Yan hurriedly told Elder Song and Elder Zhuang as he approached the group.
Elder Song almost had a heart attack when he first heard that one person was missing, but when he heard it was Dai Huabin, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Strictly speaking, Dai Huabin was just there to make up the numbers.
Because of the assassination attempt on Elder Mu, he was destined not to enter the inner academy and could never become a pillar of the academy's future.
As for Xia Die, Elder Song still believed in the strength of that Spirit Ice Douluo.
His attack power was definitely no less than that of a level 98 Super Douluo, and Elder Mu had said that he also had considerable insight into spatial domains.
Moreover, he was lucky enough to avoid the most chaotic period in Star Luo City.
"This is utter nonsense!"
"Going to Star Luo Square in this situation? It's become a battlefield!
Even a ripple from it would be enough to kill that kid hundreds of times over!"
Elder Zhuang was furious, his beard bristling and eyes wide. He hadn't expected anyone to be so reckless.
The current situation at Star Luo Square was nothing short of hell!
Holding the soft, white little Yika, Feng Jin asked Elder Zhuang with some concern,
"Elder Zhuang, what exactly happened in Xingluo City?
Why did everyone suddenly start fighting?"
"Beep beep beep."
Looking at the girl holding the little white horse, Elder Zhuang's tone softened, and he sighed,
"We don't know what happened either."
"This battle broke out suddenly and quickly.
We only know that the other side is probably a Sea Soul Master."
Elder Song's eyes sharpened, and his tone was unfriendly.
"Hmph! It's not just Sea Soul Masters; Old Zhuang should have sensed that there are also Sea Soul Beasts among them.
Those capable of transforming into human form are at least at the ferocious beast level."
"Why did these sea creatures suddenly come to land?
Do they really think we land-based Soul Masters are easy to bully?"
"What did Elder Mu say? Should we intervene?"
Elder Zhuang shook his head and said,
"There's no news yet."
"Elder Mu is probably gathering information. After all, we need to know what happened before we can choose which side to stand on."
"You must understand, Shrek Academy is practically the representative of land-based Soul Masters."
"Once we choose sides, this conflict will become a full-blown war between land-based and ocean-based Soul Masters."
After Elder Zhuang finished speaking, everyone in the hall fell silent.
No one had expected the ocean-based Soul Masters to launch a surprise attack on the day of the finals.
Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei leaned against the wall, looking dejected.
He nudged Bei Bei and said,
"What do we do next? Just stay here?"
"The fighting outside is so fierce, is it really safe here?"
Bei Bei glanced at Xu Sanshi and immediately gestured for him to proceed.
"My dear young master Xu, so you have a way to resolve this situation?"
"If you do, please act quickly. I would be eternally grateful. I still want to go back to see Xiaoya alive."
"If not, then follow Elder Song's arrangements. You won't die."
Feng Jin didn't like sitting idly, so she spoke softly:
"Elder Song and Elder Zhuang, I see there seem to be quite a few injured people at the hotel. I'm going to provide them with treatment."
Elder Song hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said:
"With so many people around, you should be careful."
Little Ika streaked through the air, leaving a rainbow trail. Its short front legs waved lightly in the air, its voice crisp and confident.
"Toot toot!"
"Toot toot toot!!!"
Feng Jin smiled and translated:
"Little Ika said it will protect me."
"If there are bad guys, it will knock them away!"
After the last battle with the Douling Royal Academy, no one doubted the fighting power of this rainbow white horse.
It was the kind of horse that could almost kill the captain of the Douling Royal Academy, Gu Zhujian.
Tibao trotted over to Feng Jin's side, her red hair swaying slightly.
"I'll go with Xiaofeng Jin to take care of the wounded."
Bai E and Maidemus exchanged a glance, and Bai E patted Maidemus's chest, saying,
"We'll go too. Although we can't heal, my buddy Maidemus is strong enough. Feel free to use him like a beast of burden!" Maidemus
punched Bai E on the head hard, making a dull thud.
"That idiot too."
"Use him as you please."
Led by several people, the main team and the reserve team went to the back of the hotel to help treat the wounded or move things and prepare protective gear.
Old Song and Old Zhuang, the team leaders, watched this scene with delight.
"They're all good kids."
"Wait a minute, Old Mu's message!"
Old Song hurriedly opened the magic network.
She felt someone was sending her a message.
At this time, there was no one else but Old Mu.
Sure enough, as soon as she opened the magic network, she saw that Mu En had sent a communication request.
Without hesitation, Old Song immediately agreed to connect.
Moon sat in the main hall of the Sea God Pavilion, surrounded by floating golden specks of light.
The rich light element made the hall appear exceptionally spacious.
"I know the situation."
"The Star Luo Royal Family sent me a request for help immediately."
"To make a long story short, the enemy attacking this time is the Sea God Family."
"The known strength so far includes one Limit Douluo and nearly thirty Title Douluos."
"The number of Title Douluos is not important; the key is this Limit Douluo. "
"The passionate leader, Spirit Ice Douluo, sent me information about him. " "
This Limit Douluo's title is Sea God, and he has connections with the one in the heavens."
"He possesses at least one divine artifact, and his martial soul is the god-level martial soul, Sea God." "
Wearing a divine artifact will cause one's spiritual power to undergo a transformation in a short period of time, reaching the God Realm."
"His known feat so far is severely injuring the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, which has existed for nearly a million years, on the high seas."
"The Sea God Family's intentions are not good.
On the surface, their purpose is to re-proclaim the glory of the Sea God on the continent, but secretly they probably want to rule the continent."
After listening, Elder Song felt somewhat uneasy.
"Elder Mu, since we are related to the Sea God, what exactly are we...?"
She dared not continue.
You should know that the core leadership organization of Shrek Academy is called the Sea God Pavilion, and advocating the Sea God can be said to be the political correctness of Shrek for thousands of years.
Mu En tapped the table and said in a deep voice,
"What does admiring the Sea God have to do with our opposition to the Sea God family?"
"Shrek Academy has always been the representative of land-based Soul Masters.
Ocean-based Soul Masters have already invaded the land.
If we don't show our support, how will Shrek Academy establish itself on land in the future?"
"We must first understand one thing: Shrek Academy is, after all, a land-based academy!"
"All Soul Masters who leave our academy are land-based Soul Masters."
"To put it bluntly, even if the Sun Moon Empire successfully rules the continent, they will never exterminate us."
"But ocean-based Soul Masters are different. These barbarians will truly kill all opponents."
"Ocean-based Soul Masters are more like wolves and tigers than the Sun Moon Empire."
"I don't know if you've seen what the ocean-based Soul Masters did along the Star Luo Empire's route on the Magic Network."
"They were practically burning, killing, and looting; their actions were even worse than those of the evil Soul Masters."
"Old Song, Old Zhuang, Star Luo City has been sealed off by an unknown force. It must have been done by that Sea God Douluo. Spatial techniques are basically ineffective."
"You two, while ensuring the children's safety, help the Star Luo Royal Family as much as possible."
"If possible, give the Dream Coins to Tibao; her Martial Soul, Hundred Realms Gate, is the highest-ranking spatial Martial Soul."
"She might be able to open a spatial gate and evacuate you in a crisis."
"Long Xiaoyao has already led Xuanzi and the others to provide support."
After finishing the conversation, Elder Song said to everyone,
"Elder Mu's meaning is quite clear."
"Old Zhuang, you stay here and protect the children."
"Director Aglaia, the hotel is crowded and noisy; your Martial Soul is best suited for surveillance. I'll leave the vigilance to you."
Aglaia nodded slightly, and Elder Zhuang stroked his beard, saying,
"Even if it costs me my life, I won't let anything happen to the children."
After giving his instructions, Elder Song transformed into a hawk with a wingspan exceeding six meters, its entire body radiating a blue light.
The hawk flapped its wings, instantly soaring into the sky and transforming into a streak of blue light, rushing towards the core battlefield.
Meanwhile, powerful figures took off from all directions around Star Luo City.
These were all instructors leading teams from various participating academies, including several Title Douluo-level experts.
Outside Star Luo City, Poison Undying finally arrived with the elders of the Body Sect.
The six of them stood atop the hundred-meter-high and hundred-meter-wide city wall, looking bewildered at the chaotic inner city before them.
Poison Undyingscratched his head and said,
"What's going on? Is this still Star Luo City?"
"Isn't the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament being held here?
How did it turn into this?"
The purple-clad woman standing next to Poison Undying frowned, pinched her nose, and said,
"This salty, fishy smell... are those guys Sea Soul Masters?"
Poison Undying's gaze sharpened as he looked at the two giant beasts fighting in the inner city, and he said in an unfriendly tone,
"That fire dragon is that old bastard Zhuo Tian. I didn't expect him to still be alive."
"What are these country bumpkins from the ocean doing here on land?"
Suddenly, a flash of azure light appeared, and Song Lao, transformed into a hawk, arrived above Poison Undying, saying,
"I thought I sensed something wrong."
"Poison Old Monster, it really is you."
"Why is your Body Sect here in Star Luo City too?"
Poison Undying crossed his arms and pointed towards the imperial city, saying,
"Can't we come to watch the competition?"
"Old Song, tell me what's going on here first?"
"Why are those stinky sea fish causing trouble on land?"
Poisonous Immortal certainly wouldn't admit he originally came to steal the Book of Records, but he was more curious about what had gotten into these Sea Soul Masters, causing trouble in Star Luo City.
