On the other side, after enjoying a sumptuous feast at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the three of them—Wu Siduo, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng—did not stay for too long.
Although School Master Ning and Red Dragon Douluo Wu Long both tried their best to persuade them to stay, hoping they could stay in the Sect for a few more days to get some good rest.
However, the three of them were taking advantage of a gap in their academy training, so they did not have that much time to spare.
Thus, after a simple farewell to the elders of the Sect, the three of them once again embarked on their journey of training.
This time, their destination was the Star Luo Empire.
Walking along the wide official road, Ning Tian and Wu Feng walked in front, while Wu Siduo followed behind them as usual, her expression cold and detached, observing the gradually changing scenery in silence.
Ning Tian turned her head slightly, her gaze falling on Wu Siduo.
She saw that Wu Siduo still had an expressionless look, seemingly not having much interest in this so-called Star Luo Empire.
Ning Tian's heart stirred, and she asked,
"Siduo, do you know anything about the current Star Luo Empire?"
Upon hearing this question, Wu Siduo's footsteps paused slightly, and a rare flash of confusion crossed those cold, clear eyes.
She glanced at Ning Tian and shook her head indifferently.
"I don't know much about the other powers on the Douluo Continent."
Hearing Wu Siduo's words, Ning Tian and Wu Feng exchanged a glance, a hint of understanding flashing in their eyes.
Ning Tian cleared her throat and took the initiative to introduce it.
"The current royal family of the Star Luo Empire is no longer the Dai Family of the past."
"The current royal family has the surname Xu."
As she walked, Ning Tian patiently explained.
"The ancestors of the Xu Family performed great military feats in the Star Luo Empire, gradually seized control of the court, and finally, after generations of management, successfully replaced the Dai Family on the throne."
"However..."
Ning Tian paused, her tone carrying a hint of subtlety.
"Although the Xu Family ascended the throne, they did not wipe out the Dai Family. After all, the foundations the Dai Family had inherited for so many years could not be destroyed just like that. Therefore, the Xu Family gave the Dai Family the title of Duke, allowing them to pass it down through generations, which could be considered a way to appease the former subordinates of the Dai Family."
Hearing this, Wu Siduo's brows moved slightly, seemingly piqued by a little interest.
"The Dai Family? White Tiger Duke?"
Wu Siduo's voice remained cold, but there was a hint of curiosity in her tone.
"The Dai Family you speak of, is their Legacy Spirit..."
"That's right."
Ning Tian took over the conversation directly and nodded affirmatively.
"The Dai Family's Legacy Spirit is none other than the Evil Eyes White Tiger!"
"And the Zhu Family, who have intermarried with the Dai Family for generations, have the Hell Civet as their Legacy Spirit."
As she spoke, Ning Tian cast her gaze toward Wu Siduo with a hint of a smile in her eyes.
"Come to think of it, Siduo, I still remember when we first saw you release your Spirit at the academy, both Wu Feng and I were completely stunned!"
Hearing this, Wu Feng immediately perked up and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"Yes, yes, yes! At the time, both the Young Lord and I thought you were from the Dai Family or the Zhu Family!"
Listening to Ning Tian and Wu Feng, Wu Siduo's face remained expressionless; she simply shook her head indifferently and explained.
"I am not from the Dai Family or the Zhu Family."
"It's just that..."
"My father and mother's Spirits happen to be the Evil Eyes White Tiger and the Hell Civet, respectively, which is exactly the same as the Legacy Spirits of the Dai Family and the Zhu Family. It can be considered... a coincidence."
Hearing this, Ning Tian nodded thoughtfully, then chuckled with a hint of teasing in her tone.
"So that's how it is. No wonder you possess the characteristics of both Spirits at the same time."
"But having said that, with your current strength, if you were to have a match against that White Tiger Duke's eldest son, Dai Yueheng, I reckon you could easily take care of him, right?"
Upon hearing this unfamiliar name, Wu Siduo raised her brows slightly and turned to look at Ning Tian.
"Dai Yueheng?"
Seeing Wu Siduo's puzzled expression, Wu Feng immediately perked up and began to introduce him in a boisterous manner.
"Siduo, it's normal that you don't know this Dai Yueheng. After all, the place where this guy made a name for himself is that Counterfeit Shrek Academy on the ground."
"That Dai Yueheng is a senior in the Inner Court of the Counterfeit Shrek Academy, and..."
"And he is one of the so-called 'Shrek Seven Devils' that the Counterfeit Shrek Academy came up with!"
"Shrek Seven Devils?"
Hearing this familiar title, Wu Siduo's footsteps paused slightly, and a strange glint flashed in her cold, clear eyes.
Just then, Wu Feng suddenly seemed to think of something and spoke up.
"Come to think of it, I've always wanted to ask a question."
"Does this Shrek Academy of ours in the sky... have the title of Shrek Seven Devils?"
The Shrek Seven Devils—to the Counterfeit Shrek Academy, this title is a symbol of honor and Legacy!
The story of the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils from ten thousand years ago is still widely circulated on the continent to this day!
So, does the current Shrek Academy in the sky also have its own Shrek Seven Devils?
Under the expectant gazes of Ning Tian and Wu Feng, Wu Siduo shook her head gently.
"No."
Wu Siduo's voice remained cold, without the slightest hesitation in her tone.
"After I entered the academy, I have never heard of the term Shrek Seven Devils."
Upon hearing this, the expressions on Ning Tian and Wu Feng's faces suddenly became somewhat subtle.
The two exchanged a glance, were silent for a moment, and finally both nodded gently without saying anything more.
They actually understood in their hearts that the fundamental purpose of Shrek Academy creating the "Shrek Seven Devils" title was none other than to concentrate the academy's highest quality resources, pour all their efforts into cultivating those seven people, and create a renowned golden signboard.
Then, by using the names of these seven people, they could extend the glory and brilliance of Shrek Academy for ten thousand years.
But... the situation in this Shrek Academy in the sky where they were currently located was completely different!
The resources here were simply inexhaustible!
Whether it was Immortal Herbs, Spirit Bones, or top-tier Cultivation Techniques... as long as you had enough Contribution Points or had gained the teacher's approval, you could have as much as you wanted!
There was simply no issue of resource shortage!
Since the resources were so abundant that they could never be used up, there was naturally no need to play the game of "Shrek Seven Devils" to concentrate resources on cultivating a few people.
Every student could enjoy the best cultivation!
After finishing this topic, Wu Feng suddenly thought of something else. Her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly leaned over to Wu Siduo, asking with a face full of anticipation.
"By the way, Wu Siduo, do you know about that upcoming Five Extremes Grand Competition in our academy?"
"Is there any inside information? What are the rewards?"
Looking at Wu Feng's impatient appearance, Wu Siduo maintained her calm expression and shook her head indifferently.
"I don't know."
"I am a freshman in this batch just like you. Things you don't know, I naturally don't know either."
Hearing Wu Siduo's answer, Wu Feng was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but scratch her head in embarrassment and gave two dry laughs.
"Haha... that's true."
"Calculating the time, Siduo, although your strength is greater than ours, if we count by admission time, you only entered the academy half a month earlier than the Young Lord and me."
Ning Tian also shook her head with a smile and reached out to pat Wu Feng's head.
"You, you only know how to ask about these messy things. Cultivating properly is better than anything else!"
Wu Feng stuck out her tongue, but the look of anticipation in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
"I'm just curious..."
"Do you think the rewards for this Five Extremes Grand Competition will be especially generous?"
Looking at Wu Feng's longing expression, neither Ning Tian nor Wu Siduo said anything more.
But to be honest... in their hearts, they were indeed full of anticipation for the upcoming Five Extremes Grand Competition.
Just as the three were chatting idly.
In the distance, a magnificent and imposing city gradually appeared within their field of vision.
The tall city walls gleamed with an ancient luster under the sunlight; the city gate was bustling with traffic and people, presenting a scene of prosperity.
This was precisely the capital of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City!
The three walked to the city gate and were not blocked at all, entering the city very smoothly.
Walking on the bustling street, Wu Siduo stopped and turned her head, her cold, clear eyes looking at Ning Tian.
"Ning Tian, where are we going next?"
"Coming to the Star Luo Empire this time was your idea, so you can arrange the following itinerary."
Hearing Wu Siduo's words, the corners of Ning Tian's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a smile.
"Since we've come to the Star Luo Empire, wouldn't it be a pity not to visit the Star Luo Royal Academy for an exchange?"
"How about it? Shall we go find those proud sons of heaven at the Star Luo Royal Academy and have a good spar?"
