Everyone else had stepped onto the Sea Gods Island by now. They watched as Tang Wutong flew back to the lakeshore, and Xu Sanshi quickly hid behind Jiang Nannans back. That was accidental. I made a mistake because I panicked. It was accidental! Tang Wutong stared at Xu Sanshi with unfriendly eyes as she landed on the lakeshore.

I will kill you if theres a next time! Tang Wutong said angrily, before turning and heading deeper into Sea Gods Island.

Huo Yuhao landed on the lakeshore immediately afterwards. He shook his feet, which had been soaked in the lake, and released his Ultimate Ice, turning the water into ice particles that drifted to the ground.

Little junior brotherso, how was it? Did you discover anything from interacting at such a close distance?

Huo Yuhao nodded lightly, and his eyes were filled with warmth and gratitude. Shes Donger.

Huo Yuhao uttered a few simple words, and everyone felt their hearts quiver. However, everyone felt differently.  Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and the others were sincerely happy for Huo Yuhao, but Nan Qiuqiu and Ye Guyi werent that excited about it.

But she doesnt remember us at all. How can you be sure that shes Donger? Xu Sanshi asked in surprise.

Huo Yuhao answered, Even though Donger has lost her memory, her smell cannot change. Also, the tenderness of the muscles on her arms is exactly the same as before, and those are things that cant be imitated. Back then, even though Qiuer looked identical to Donger, they were different in these respects. Therefore, I can be sure that shes Donger, and no matter how she has forgotten us, I will definitely help her regain her memory.

Huo Yuhaos eyes were filled with fighting spirit and excitement. For him, Wang Donger losing her memory wasnt frightening at all. Instead, he was afraid that Tang Wutong wasnt Wang Donger in the first place. If that was the case, no matter how similar the two of them looked, his heartstrings couldnt be plucked at all.

Bei Bei hugged Huo Yuhao across his shoulders and said, Lets go. Well see Elder Xuan first, and everything will be easy to deal with since weve identified her. Just tell us if you need us to help, and everyone will help you as much as we can.

Thank you, eldest senior brother.

Everyone arrived at the Sea Gods Pavilion. The others waited outside, while Huo Yuhao paid his respects to the Golden Tree before he walked into the pavilion with Bei Bei.

Elder Xuan was already waiting inside the Sea Gods Pavilion. Tang Wutong was standing indignantly behind Elder Xuan, and immediately turned away when she saw Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao had given her quite a bad impression during their only two encounters. The first time, Huo Yuhao suddenly hugged her, and the second time, they almost dropped into the water. He had touched her body both times, which was extremely humiliating to her. She would have hit back against him heavily if she hadnt been at Shrek Academy.

Elder Xuan. Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei greeted Elder Xuan respectfully.

Elder Xuan smiled faintly as he tilted his head in response. Are you ready, Yuhao? Why are you here too, Bei Bei?

Bei Bei answered, Elder Xuan, some of our martial souls have reached Rank 70, and we want little junior brother to bring us into the Great Star Dou Forest to search for appropriate soul beasts so that they can become our Spirits, and then well let them leave. We have decided that Sanshi, Nannan, Ji Juechen, Jing Ziyan, Nan Qiuqiu, and Ye Guyi will follow Yuhao to the borders.

Elder Xuan was delighted. Both you and Sanshi are at Rank 70? Thats great, thats great news! Is Nannan close to Rank 70, too?

Bei Bei nodded and smiled. Xiao Xiao is still a short distance away, but everyone else is at Rank 70.

Elder Xuan said, You guys can go to the forest first, then. Look for the Emerald Swan at the Spirit Pagoda, and let her make the necessary arrangements. I can rest assured knowing that Yuhao is personally contracting Spirits for you guys.

Elder Xuan passed an envelope to Huo Yuhao as he spoke, who stepped forwards to receive it.

Elder Xuan said, These are the documents that the Academy has provided for you as proof, and they will be effective once you fill in your name. You cant lose these documents, because they contains the Academys soul imprint, and youll have to give them to the White Tiger Duke personally. Dai Yueheng is serving with the White Tiger Duke, and he can help the two of you coordinate mutually.

Yuhao, you have to remember that the battlefield is very dynamic, and can change at any moment. But no matter what, you should have no problem protecting your own life with your abilities. Remember, dont be impulsive and hasty when doing things, and personal safety is most important, whatever you do. Do you understand? At the same time, you can display the power of Spirits on the battlefield, so that the Star Luo Empire can understand the Spirit Pagoda a little better.

Yes. Huo Yuhao put the envelope away as if it were a valuable treasure. His identity would be different when he went back to the frontlines, and his original wish of rising through the ranks as a foot soldier couldnt be completely realized, in the end. After all, how could he be like a normal person with the difference in his identity, status, and abilities?

Wutong, let me introduce them all to you. This is Bei Bei, the leader of the Tang Sect, and a member of the Sea Gods Pavilion. Hes the leader of the current generations Shreks Seven monsters. This is Huo Yuhao, and he possesses an Ultimate martial soul, and also has twin martial souls. Hes also a member of the Sea Gods Pavilion.

Tang Wutongs expression immediately became ice-cold, especially when she was looking at Huo Yuhao.

Wutong is a teacher that the Academy has just hired, and shes also a reserve member of the Shrek Guardians at the same time. She will follow you for this operation, and this will also be a test for her. Yuhao will be responsible for scoring her in this assessment. Wutong, perhaps there have been some misunderstandings between the two of you, but Im very sure of Yuhaos character. He has made many important contributions to the Academy, and hes also the youngest member of the Sea Gods Pavilion. The two of you should talk more after this. Youre both youngsters, and I trust that any misunderstandings between you two can be easily resolved. Elder Xuans voice and speech was as mild as a drizzle and as gentle as a breeze, but the amusement in his eyes couldnt be concealed when he looked at Huo Yuhao.

Tang Wutong grunted and glared at Huo Yuhao before turning away.

Huo Yuhao wasnt too concerned about that. He turned towards Elder Xuan and said, Dont worry, Elder Xuan, Ill protect teacher Wutong.

Who needs your protection? Tang Wutong interjected.

Huo Yuhao smiled faintly, but said nothing. He didnt want to argue with her.

Elder Xuan said, Then you guys can set off. Wutong, dont you want to see how miraculous and mystical Spirits are? You can follow Yuhao and the others to take a look. Its a pity you already have your seventh soul ring. Otherwise, you could get yourself a Spirit along with everyone else.

Yes. Tang Wutong was still very respectful towards Elder Xuan.

Bei Bei smiled and said, Well be setting off immediately, Elder Xuan. Can Yuhao and the others go directly to the Star Luo Empire after we get our Spirits?

Elder Xuan said, Yes, they can do that. Yuhao, please pass back any news or intel as soon as possible.

Bei Bei said, Dont worry, Elder Xuan. I will have the Tang Sects members maintain contact with Huo Yuhao from the beginning to the end. The Tang Sect has produced sound-transmitting soul tools that can reach a distance of roughly one hundred kilometers. As long as we send people as transit stations in between, we wont need Huo Yuhao to run back and forth.

Elder Xuan nodded and said, You have to hurry on your side, the Tang Sect Soul Engineer Legion has to be established as quickly as possible. Liner and Duoduo will gather people over the next few days.

I will give you two pointers! First, you have to help them adjust and adapt to using soul tools as quickly as possible. Just as youve said in the conference at the Sea Gods Pavilion, they will unleash custom-made soul tools according to their varying martial souls. Second, you have to use our advantages as soul masters as much as possible, and we cant weaken our own forces because were using soul tools.

Yes! Bei Bei answered reverently.

Elder Xuan waved his hand and said, Go, then. Wutong is new here, so you guys should take care of her.

Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei walked in front as they left the Sea Gods Pavilion, and Tang Wutong followed behind.

Bei Bei turned towards Tang Wutong and said, Teacher Wutong, let me introduce our companions to you.

Tang Wutongs expression was cold, and she said nothing. However, Bei Bei acted as if he didnt see her expression and introduced everyone one by one, anyway. Tang Wutong couldnt help but grunt out loud when Bei Bei introduced Xu Sanshi, and it was clear that she didnt have a good impression of him. Tang Wutongs expression only became a little more gentle when Bei Bei was introducing the girls.

Lets set off right now, then. Yuhao, are we going to the Spirit Pagoda directly? Or are we going to the Great Star Dou Forest?

Huo Yuhao said, Lets go to the Spirit Pagoda first. Even though the Spirit Pagoda has yet to be completed, the people from all incumbent parties have already moved in. The Emerald Swan has always been there to represent the Great Star Dou Forest, and its more convenient to ask her to find suitable soul beasts for us.

The Emerald Swan could be said to be one of the most sensible and reasonable soul beasts, and she was very supportive of the Spirit Pagoda. Ever since the organization had been established, she had done quite a lot of work over on the soul beasts side.

They left the Academy and entered Shreks new city. They were no longer in the outskirts that used to be here.

After all the construction work that had been carried out over this period of time, and in addition to the immeasurable investments from various large trade associations and Shrek City itself, Shreks new city was starting to take shape. Construction sites were in full swing and buzzing with activity everywhere.

Bei Bei lamented, After this new city is completely constructed, Shreks scale will be enough to compare with the capital cities of other empires. Even though we are still smaller in surface area than Radiant City, our position as the center of the Continent will be gradually consolidated in the future. In my opinion, the new city will be complete in only two or three years, at most.

Huo Yuhao heaved a faint sigh and said, Theres a precondition that the new city isnt laid to ruin by the fires of war.

Bei Bei glanced at him and said, Little junior brother, you seem to be very pessimistic towards the Heavenly Soul Empire! They have the Body Sects support. Are they really that weak?

Huo Yuhao forced a laugh and said, Its not that the Heavenly Soul Empire is weak, but that the Sun Moon Empires soul tools are too powerful. Once Class 9 stationary soul cannon shells appear on the battlefield, at least for now, not a single force or entity can block or defend against them. Even Transcendent Douluo cannot possibly collide directly with those things. Its hard to say how many Class 9 stationary soul cannon shells the Sun Moon Empire has in their arsenal, but I feel that they cant have less than ten of them.

When they were assaulting the Star Luo Empire, three Class 9 stationary soul cannon shells blew open a large gap in the Ming Dou Mountain Range. In terms of geographical and topographical advantages, the Heavenly Soul Empire is weaker than the Star Luo Empire, and if the Sun Moon Empires soul engineer legions appear on the battlefield right now, they might break through the Heavenly Soul Empires defenses like a hot knife through butter!
