Chapter 3745: Chapter 3591
In another compartment of the Soul Guidance Train...
Shen Yi looked at Xu Sheng next to her with concern and said, "Xu Sheng, why did you agree to let them join the Youthful Soul Master Competition?"
This Youth Soul Master Competition was open to all spectators, which meant that other students who came to participate in the Xingluo Land exchange competition could use this as an opportunity to prepare for their upcoming battles against Tang Wulin and his friends!
Hearing this, Xu Sheng smiled and replied, "It was Wu Dousi and the others who jointly requested this. I couldn't possibly refuse, could I? Moreover, the prize is a soul bone. If they could win the championship, it would also be a kind of opportunity."
If it was a thousand-year soul bone, it indeed wouldn't be worth participating. But the reward was a ten-thousand-year soul bone. At a time when land soul beasts are nearly extinct, that is...
Shen Yi pouted and said, "Winning the championship? That seems doubtful. The Star Luo Delegation Leader said that any Soul Master under the age of twenty can participate in the Youth Soul Master Competition. It's simply not fair!"
After pausing, she added sarcastically, "I really don't understand why Xingluo Land would hold two such competitions at the same time, especially when the prizes for the Youth Soul Master Competition are even more generous than those for the Xingluo Land exchange competition!"
Meanwhile, Pan Wen, not far away, heard this comment and said with an embarrassed smile, "Um... Teacher Shen, could you be a bit more considerate when you speak?"
After saying this, he gestured towards the people nearby...
Those responsible for this trip, as well as the members of the Star Luo Delegation, were all here!
Shen Yi's face instantly turned red, and she meekly apologized, "So... sorry."
She had inadvertently spoken her mind in front of the hosts, which was utterly embarrassing!
With a wry smile, Pan Wen said, "Teacher Shen, there's no need to apologize. After all, what you said is true. It's undeniable that the Youth Soul Master Competition gives an advantage to older Soul Masters."
"But I think letting the younger disciples gain some experience isn't a bad thing. Besides, the students from your academy are not to be underestimated. If by chance they win the championship, it would be the best of both worlds!"
Sima Lanxiao, who was nearby, nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. If the younger generation of students from Shrek Academy could win the championship, it would definitely enhance their influence a lot!"
"Absolutely. In the history of the Youth Soul Master Competition, there's never been such young participants who then went on to win the championship. If they succeed, it will definitely make a name for them across Xingluo Land!"
As for the members of the Star Luo Delegation, they scoffed at the idea, not at all convinced that the students from Shrek Academy could win the championship.
After all... even Soul Emperor level opponents might appear in the Youth Soul Master Competition!
If they were former Inner Court students, there might be great hope, but for Outer Court students... ha, not worth mentioning!
...
After several hours, the Soul Guidance Train had already arrived at Xingluo City!
Once everyone disembarked and stretched, Tang Wulin couldn't help but stretch lazily and said with a contented face, "So this is Xingluo City? It's indeed much better than the seaside cities."
The scenery and decorations surrounding Xingluo City were in no way inferior to Shrek City, even with its own unique charm!
Xie Xie nodded with emotion and said, "Yeah! But this journey almost killed me; my entire back is sore, numb, and achy!"
Xu Xiaoyan looked at him with disdain and said, "Dramatic much. It was just a ride on the Soul Guidance Train!"
Xie Xie retorted unhappily, "I'm just expressing my feelings! Why do you like to pick on me so much now, Xu Xiaoyan?"
Ye Xinglan covered her forehead and sighed, "Every time we get off the train, you two start arguing. Sigh!"
Gu Yue chuckled and said, "There's nothing we can do about it; they are just natural nemeses."
Xu Lizhi broke in with his simple honesty, "But Gu Yue, I think you and Wulin seem even more like nemeses... no wait, more like a couple!"
Gu Yue coughed once and said no more...
Even now, she was considering how to face Tang Wulin!
Just then, Tang Wulin's communicator rang out, "Beep beep beep... Beep beep beep"
Everyone turned their gaze toward the sound, and upon seeing the caller ID, Tang Wulin exclaimed, "It's Teacher Wu!"
Ever since Wu Changkong stopped instructing them, he had rarely made contact!
After snapping back to reality, he quickly answered the call...
...
Xie Xie raised an eyebrow, "Gu Yue, do you think we stand a chance of winning this battle?"
Although most of the Devil Soul Great White Sharks and the Deepsea Devil Whale King have only a millennium of cultivation level, their sheer numbers were comparable to ten-thousand-year soul beasts in the ocean!
It seemed impossible for them to win!
Before Gu Yue could respond, Ye Xinglan said with a face full of inscrutable meaning, "Xie Xie, you are underestimating the lethal power of soul tools! Our lack of a winning chance isn't due to the large number of sea soul beasts."
Those millennium sea soul beasts may be numerous, but they are almost killed off in droves in the face of soul cannonballs!
The real danger lies with the two leading Hundred Thousand Years Spirit Soul Great White Sharks and the Deepsea Devil Whale King!
Only by killing them could we possibly disperse these sea soul beasts!
Gu Yue nodded in agreement, "Yes! The soul cannonballs equipped on this Giant Wheel are as powerful as Eighth-grade Spirit Guidance Devices, enough to completely destroy this sea area!"
After a pause, she continued, "However, if we do that, the Giant Wheel itself would be reduced to ash! Therefore, we can only use soul cannonballs of level 6 or lower!"
However, Tang Wulin said meaningfully, "Gu Yue, you've been watching Teacher Xu this whole time, haven't you?"
Gu Yue showed a hint of surprise, "You noticed as well?"
Tang Wulin nodded affirmatively, "Yes, we can only say that Teacher Xu truly lives up to her name, never showing a trace of fear no matter the peril!"
Their conversation left the others dumbfounded, Xu Xiaoyan frowned and chided, "What are you two muttering about at a time like this?"
Gu Yue shook her head with no intention of explaining, "It's nothing, just keep watching. If nothing unexpected occurs, we shall all be safe!"
She believed in her own instincts!
...
On the other side, in the lower decks of the Giant Wheel!
The terrifying fluctuations emitted by the numerous sea soul beasts alerted many Soul Masters that something was amiss...
They all began observing the outside through windows and other means...
One of the students from Xingluo Imperial Academy, after clearly seeing the situation, stepped back trembling and said, "My... my God, are those two creatures monsters? They have such massive bodies!"
Another female student scolded, "Idiot! Those are the Devil Soul Great White Shark and the Deepsea Devil Whale King. Judging by their size, they must have at least one hundred thousand years of cultivation!"
"How can you say that with such calm? Those are the Hundred Thousand Years Spirit Soul Great White Sharks and the Deepsea Devil Whale King! They might even compare to the ferocious beasts of the land!!"
"We're... we're done for! Aside from the two leading ferocious beasts, there's a dense mass behind them that can't be counted with the naked eye, and they're launching an attack on our Giant Wheel!"
