Heaven Dou City, Shrek Academy.
A gentle breeze blew, and the leaves of the green plants on both sides of the road rustled softly. Many students wearing Shrek's green School Uniform were shuttling around the academy.
Although defeated by the Northern Academy, Shrek Academy's performance in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition five years ago was amazing enough.
They even defeated the Spirit Hall's "Golden Generation" with an average age of four or five years younger!
The once criticized Shrek green School Uniform has now become a fashion, and young soul masters are proud to be members of the academy and wear such School Uniform.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Northern Academy is located in the remote Northern Province and the location is too remote. If there were better choices, Shrek Academy would definitely not be so prosperous.
It was noon, and a man and a woman stood in front of Shrek Academy. They both looked about twenty years old. The young man had long golden hair, which was unrestrainedly draped behind him, and his eyes were double pupils. The woman had a cold expression, but her figure was curvy and her skin was as white as snow.
"I really miss it... Five years."
Dai Mubai said with emotion, his military career added a bit of perseverance and stability to his face. He said hesitantly:
"I don't know how to face them, after all, we once aimed our weapons at the people of the Heaven Dou Empire."
"This is not something you can decide. At least you have done what you can to protect the people of the conquered city as much as possible," Zhu Zhuqing comforted.
The two walked into the academy. When passing the training ground, a slightly teasing voice came:
"Yo yo yo, isn't this our young master Dai? He actually came back."
Looking in the direction of the voice, it was Ma Hongjun, who had grown from a little fat man to a big fat man.
"You've gained weight again."
Zhu Zhuqing's words instantly broke Ma Hongjun's defense.
"Damn, why are you telling such a big truth? The truth hurts," he muttered, stepping forward and giving Dai Mubai a hug.
Afterwards, Ning Rongrong and Oscar arrived one after another.
The moment he saw Oscar, Dai Mubai's expression changed slightly. He saw the temperament of a soldier in Oscar.
"Xiao Ao, where have you been all these years?" Dai Mubai asked.
"Me? I went out to wander for the first three years. I worked as a mercenary. Later, the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom was invaded by soul beasts, so I went there to help resist... I also met Rongrong there."
Oscar's peach blossom eyes were full of happiness, and he looked at Ning Rongrong on the side with doting eyes.
"You idiot, how can you go to such a dangerous place casually? If it weren't for me, you would have died countless times," Ning Rongrong complained, but also with a happy expression.
Ma Hongjun felt that he had been stuffed with a mouthful of dog food. Everyone was in pairs, only he was alone, and he immediately felt particularly desolate.
"Only Brother San and Xiao Wu are left. I don't know how they are," Ning Rongrong said with some worry.
"Xiao San and Xiao Wu are together, they are doing very well, don't worry," Flender walked over, looking at the Seven Devils who had grown up, with a proud expression on his face.
"They are together too?" Ma Hongjun's face twitched, with a hint of envy in his tone.
"Yes, Xiao San studied at Yue Xuan some time ago and came to the school to see me. I just hope they don't take this five-year agreement too seriously, after all, Xiao Wu's identity..."
Flender sighed, "Alas... In the current situation, humans and soul beasts are almost incompatible. I don't want Xiao Wu to come over, it's too dangerous."
"It's all because of that guy named Amon. From the first time I saw him, I felt that he was not a good thing," Ma Hongjun said with some indignation.
"Fatty, it's okay for you to say this in front of us, but don't talk nonsense when you go out. Duke Amon is a very scary person," Oscar said with a solemn expression.
Ning Rongrong nodded: "That's right, people who know some inside information don't dare to discuss him casually, because you never know if he is watching you in some corner around you."
Ma Hongjun scratched the back of his head: "Don't make it so mysterious, right?"
Ning Rongrong said in a somewhat crisp voice:
"This is what Grandpa Jian learned from the other party when he was fighting Xiong Jun. Duke Amon seems to have the ability to clone himself."
"The most important reason why they, the Star Dou Great Forest, want to avenge the Rui beast is that the existence of Duke Amon has threatened the survival of the entire Star Dou Great Forest. They are not showing off their force to humans, but a desperate counterattack on the verge of extinction..."
"Without our knowledge, the ferocious beasts once had a three-year secret confrontation with the Duke in the Star Dou Great Forest, but even if they mobilized the power of the entire Star Dou Great Forest to harass the Duke's clone, they still felt helpless."
Dai Mubai said in a deep voice: "I also know a little about these things. Duke Amon has abused and killed many soul beasts in the forest. His clone seems to be everywhere."
"Deliberately abusing and killing soul beasts? That's too much? I can understand those ferocious beasts. If I were them, I would have to fight desperately," Ma Hongjun muttered.
"Although he is powerful, he is not invulnerable. At least I have met someone who was able to hunt him down," a handsome young man with dark blue hair walked in. Beside him was a beautiful girl in a white dress.
"Xiao Wu, then who is this person... Brother San?" Looking at Tang San, whose appearance and temperament were very different from the past, a trace of doubt flashed in Ning Rongrong's eyes.
"Alright, you rascal, you're actually hitting on Xiao Wu while Brother San isn't around. I must teach you a lesson for Brother San's sake!" Ma Hongjun said with a mischievous grin, his five Soul Rings – yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black – pulsing rhythmically.
Ning Rongrong was initially stunned, but then she understood and revealed a similar smile.
She summoned her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, enhancing Ma Hongjun, and said, "That's right, that's right, beat him up!"
Dai Mubai stepped forward with a smile, "I'll join in too."
As he spoke, he let out a tiger's roar, and a gale immediately arose. His golden hair instantly turned white, and his body suddenly expanded, reaching a height of over two and a half meters in the blink of an eye. Black and white patterns covered his entire body, and he stretched out his tiger paws, golden blades extending from his fingers.
Looking at his six Soul Rings – two yellow, two purple, two black – Ma Hongjun cried out, "Boss Dai, you've actually become a Soul Emperor!"
Tang San smiled as he received Ma Hongjun's attack and used his Blue Silver Grass to restrain Dai Mubai. He retreated a few steps and said with a helpless smile, "Now that you've recognized me, stop fighting, or I'll beat you up."
Dai Mubai retracted his spirit, walked over, and patted Tang San's shoulder, "Good fellow, you've changed so much. If Xiao Wu wasn't here, I probably wouldn't have recognized you."
"That's right, that's right, do you have any secrets to becoming more handsome? Share them," Ma Hongjun chimed in.
The seven of them exchanged glances and suddenly burst into laughter.
Tang San was also laughing, laughing easily and sincerely.
Over the past five years, his responsibility to Xiao Wu, his search for the truth of the past, and the expectations from his father had put him under constant pressure.
Now, Xiao Wu had returned, the truth was known, he had returned to his clan, and the rise of the sect was within sight. Everything seemed to be getting better.
Seeing his former companions, he let go of the pressure and worries, as if he had returned to the carefree days of his youth.
"Have you guys seen Xiao Gang?" A slightly weak voice came.
Xiao Wu stopped smiling and looked at the haggard woman before her. It was hard to Connection her with the wild and violent Liu Erlong of the past, "Godmother, what happened to you?"
"It's Xiao Wu, you're back... It's good that you're back," Liu Erlong forced a smile.
"What exactly happened?" Dai Mubai frowned. In the past, Liu Erlong had helped them a lot, and he had genuine respect for the academy's teachers.
"Alas..." Flender sighed and explained, "Five years ago, the newly appointed Duke Amon killed the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which was Xiao Gang's father."
"Afterward, Xiao Gang said he wanted to seek revenge, and he left a letter before disappearing... Erlong has become ill from longing, her health deteriorating day by day."
"Teacher..." Tang San's eyes trembled upon hearing this, and a murderous aura involuntarily emanated from his body.
Feeling his terrifying, almost tangible murderous intent, Dai Mubai couldn't help but feel a chill.
What had Little San experienced in the past five years to accumulate such a terrifying murderous aura? Even the battle-hardened generals on the battlefield couldn't compare to him!
Flender shouted, "Calm down, Little San."
"Why didn't you tell me before?" Tang San couldn't help but say.
Flender rolled his eyes, "Didn't you have any idea what you were like before? Now that you know, you almost lost control. If I had told you then, wouldn't you have gone berserk?"
"Uh, alright," Tang San said sheepishly.
"Has anyone seen Xiao Gang?" Liu Erlong asked with a hint of hope in her eyes.
Hearing this, everyone fell silent, not daring to meet her gaze.
Liu Erlong's eyes dimmed, becoming lifeless and hollow.
"Godmother..." Xiao Wu said with heartache.
"Damn it, why are all the bad things inseparable from that bastard?" Ma Hongjun's eyes flashed with anger.
"Little San, what should we do now?" Dai Mubai looked at Tang San.
Tang San took a deep breath and said decisively, "He has already sought his own death."
"Although my father often says not to make enemies with him, and I don't want to provoke such an opponent, he is really going too far... This hatred is irreconcilable."
"The teacher has his affairs, and the disciple will serve. How can I bear to watch the teacher alone, working hard for this?"
Dai Mubai nodded, "Little San, I support you."
Then, he lowered his voice and said, "Don't be impulsive. It would be foolish to deal with Duke Amon alone, but there are too many people who want him dead now. Be patient and wait, a good opportunity will come soon..."
Dai Mubai had already been established as the crown prince of the Star Luo Empire. This time, he came to Shrek Academy not only to fulfill the agreement to reunite after five years but also with another special mission:
To represent the Star Luo Empire and negotiate with Prince Xue Beng and the Star Dou Great Forest.
Due to the lack of progress on the battlefield, Dai Chenghua also gave up the plan to directly annex the Heaven Dou Empire and instead sought to gain some benefits through negotiations. For the Star Luo Empire, supporting Xue Beng's ascension was obviously more beneficial than Xue Qinghe's strong ascension to the throne.
Tang San looked at Dai Mubai, his expression somewhat surprised. He also knew that a good opportunity would come soon.
His heart stirred, and he thought of Dai Mubai's identity, and a knowing smile appeared on his face. The good opportunity they were thinking of was probably the same one.
