Hearing Tang Wulin's question, Huo Yuhao smiled and introduced them.
"These three are students from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Ji Juechen."
Huo Yuhao gestured toward the three of them with his palm and introduced them to Tang Wulin and the others.
"Hello, my name is Tang Wulin."
After learning their names, Tang Wulin looked at them, smiled, and nodded. Then, Xie Xie and the others followed suit and introduced themselves.
Just at this moment, Wang Dong'er and six others noticed the commotion over here and walked over quickly.
"You guys are here?"
Wang Dong'er smiled, greeted them, and said,
"Mm, does teacher have any new arrangements?"
Tang Wulin looked at Wang Dong'er and asked. After all, they had just arrived, and the specific arrangements were still unclear.
Wang Dong'er walked over and stood beside Tang Wulin. Her pink-blue eyes swept across the crowd before she spoke.
"Teacher Shen Yi said that the Abyssal Creatures have already been wiped out for a round, and temporarily no new Abyssal Creatures are coming out of the Abyssal Passage."
"However, those Abyssal Creatures will probably make a comeback, seeing as the Abyssal Passage hasn't dissipated yet."
Hearing this, Xie Xie chuckled, his face full of complacency.
"Could it be that those Abyssal Creatures heard I was coming, so they all went into hiding?"
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but smile and mock him.
"Xie Xie, you are truly shameless."
Xie Xie didn't care at all and instead said even more smugly.
"Then how do you explain why the Abyssal Creatures haven't come out yet?"
Looking at his appearance, Tang Wulin shook his head helplessly and reached out to pat Xie Xie's shoulder.
"Alright, alright, stop bragging."
"What?! Boss, do you also think I'm bragging?"
Looking at Tang Wulin, who was undermining him, Xie Xie wore a look of grief and indignation.
"Has everyone in our class arrived?"
Huo Yuhao asked at this moment.
"Mm, after you guys arrived, our entire class can be considered gathered."
Xiao Xiao spoke at this time.
Just as her voice fell, two more figures quickly walked over from a distance. Walking in the front was a girl with golden hair. Her beautiful long golden hair was tied into a single ponytail at the back of her head, and her azure-blue eyes were quite pretty with slightly curled long eyelashes. Her skin was fair and delicate.
Following behind her was a little chubby boy, smiling foolishly.
The two of them were none other than Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi.
Seeing the two of them, Huo Yuhao wore a smile on his face and quickly went up to greet them.
"Sister Xinglan, Lizhi."
He greeted them with a smile, his tone carrying a bit of familiarity. After all, if it weren't for the two of them, he wouldn't have been able to enter Shrek Academy.
"Are you guys also participating in this training exercise?"
Xu Lizhi smiled foolishly and nodded.
"Yeah, all the first-year students have to participate."
"Besides, there are Contribution Points, might as well take them since they're there."
Huo Yuhao nodded in understanding. After all, everyone could be said to need Contribution Points.
Right at this moment, Ji Juechen's gaze suddenly landed on Ye Xinglan.
His pupils shrank slightly, and his entire body seemed to be fixed in place by something, motionless.
Even without Ye Xinglan releasing her Spirit, he could still feel a fierce Sword Intent emanating from the girl in front of him.
Ji Juechen had practiced the sword since childhood and was obsessed with it. His perception of Sword Intent was far sharper than ordinary people's.
He could sense that Ye Xinglan's Sword Intent was very strong, even stronger than he had imagined.
"This young lady, would you care to spar with me?"
For a combat maniac, especially a Sword Fanatic, meeting someone equally skilled in using the sword made it hard to resist fighting.
As soon as Ji Juechen said this, everyone was stunned.
Xie Xie widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
"We just met and you want to fight?"
He turned his head to look at Huo Yuhao aside and asked directly.
"Yuhao, can the person you brought back take a beating?"
These words were quite impolite, and he didn't deliberately lower his voice. Basically everyone present could hear it.
Hearing this, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen couldn't help but develop dark lines on their faces.
Could it be that in their eyes, the few of them were only meant to be beaten up?
Although Ji Juechen couldn't compare to Huo Yuhao, it wasn't like just anyone could beat him, right?
Huo Yuhao also smiled awkwardly and didn't take up the conversation.
In Huo Yuhao's view, Ji Juechen really wouldn't be Ye Xinglan's match.
He hoped the blow Ji Juechen would suffer wouldn't be too big.
Looking at Ji Juechen, a strange look flashed across Ye Xinglan's azure-blue eyes. She was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.
"Alright."
The two walked to an open area, standing a few zhang apart and facing each other.
The surrounding people successively stepped back to leave enough space for them.
Ji Juechen took a deep breath, closed his eyes to adjust his Qi, and the next moment he suddenly opened his eyes.
A fierce Sword Intent erupted from within his body, pressing down toward Ye Xinglan like a physical substance!
That Sword Intent was extremely sharp, carrying an indomitable tenacity.
I have to say, every time he felt Ji Juechen's Sword Intent, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but marvel that this guy was truly remarkable, especially after thinking about Ji Juechen's experiences.
Facing the Sword Intent attacking from Ji Juechen, Ye Xinglan's exquisite face didn't have any expression, her azure-blue eyes as calm as water.
Afterwards, Ye Xinglan raised her right hand, and a dazzling starlight lit up from her palm. In the blink of an eye, a long sword appeared in her hand.
The body of that long sword presented a glittering, dazzling starlight, looking quite gorgeous. Holding this sword in her hand, Ye Xinglan waved it gently, and an equally terrifying Sword Intent erupted from her body.
Boom!
The two strands of Sword Intent collided together, causing the air to vibrate.
Xiao Hongchen originally thought this was a well-matched confrontation, but the moment Ji Juechen's Sword Intent touched Ye Xinglan's Sword Intent, it began to collapse!
Ji Juechen's pupils shrank abruptly, his face filled with disbelief.
And Ye Xinglan didn't stop; an even more terrifying Aura suddenly erupted from her body!
Unity of Man and Sword!
Ye Xinglan seemed to have merged entirely with the Star God Sword in her hand; man was the sword, and the sword was man!
Following closely was the Sword God Domain!
A dazzling starlight spread out from her body, completely enveloping the surrounding area of several zhang!
Within that Domain, countless strands of Sword Qi condensed from starlight floated in mid-air, their sword tips pointing squarely at Ji Juechen!
Every strand of Sword Qi emitted a terrifying, suffocating coercion!
Ji Juechen stood in place, completely dumbfounded.
After cultivating the sword for so many years, he had actually suffered such a crisp defeat in Sword Intent. The two hadn't directly used swords to spar; they had merely clashed with Sword Intent. However, precisely because they clashed with Sword Intent, Ji Juechen was all the more clear about the gap between the two of them.
"I lost. Thank you for your guidance."
Ji Juechen was silent for a moment, then conceded defeat very straightforwardly.
Ye Xinglan put away the Star God Sword, and the terrifying Aura on her body slowly dissipated.
She glanced at Ji Juechen and said indifferently.
"Your Sword Intent is very pure, but... it lacks direction. If someone can guide you, your Sword Intent can achieve further development."
Ji Juechen was silent for a moment and then nodded solemnly.
"I have learned much."
Watching this scene, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Ye Xinglan had gotten much stronger compared to the last time they met.
Standing aside, Xiao Hongchen was completely dumbfounded, his mind blank and his face full of disbelief.
To think they could just casually meet someone who could defeat Ji Juechen.
The people of this academy are truly monsters.
