Shooting a look at Qian Lei, Lan Mengqin pulled back her right hand and her smile suddenly disappeared as a bone chilling intent replaced it.
Qian Lei’s body was not fit for battle, so it immediately trembled from the cold, as though a pail of ice water had been poured over his head. His face turned white, and he immediately hid behind Lan Xuanyu.
“Xixi, little fatty, you’re not brave enough.” Lan Mengqin’s cold intent dissipated, and her grin returned with a cheeky expression.
As for Lan Xuanyu, who was used as a shield by Qian Lei, he was shocked. His Spiritual Power had reached the Spirit Sea Realm and had perception surpassing that of ordinary people, but in that instant, he had clearly sensed that Dong Qianqiu’s teammate’s Spiritual Power was absolutely no weaker than his; rather, it was even stronger!
To emphasize, Lan Xuanyu’s cultivation’s most praiseworthy point was his spiritual power, but he never would have thought that he would quickly encounter someone with stronger spiritual power than him. And it was Dong Qianqiu’s teammate.
Lan Xuanyu turned to Dong Qianqiu and revealed a questioning expression in his gaze.
For some inexplicable reason that even Dong Qianqiu did not know, she immediately grasped his meaning and gently nodded her head. “She’s stronger than me.” Then she turned to look at the others in the crowd and quickly found Bing Tianliang’s team. Her eyes trembled slightly as she said gently, “…and him too.”
Lan Xuanyu was no longer able to remain calm.
He was extremely clear of Dong Qianqiu and Bing Tianliang’s strength! Bing Tianliang, who had four rings of cultivation, was known as the strongest and number one from Heaven Luo planet to participate in the competition.
Lan Xuanyu definitely trusted Dong Qianqiu’s words. Did she mean that the laughable and naughty white-haired young girl in front of him was even stronger than Bing Tianliang? That meant, four rings? She was a four-ring Soul Master? And she was Dong Qianqiu’s teammate. How strong was this team!
Would the third team member have such strength as well? By the looks of it, Heaven Dou Planet’s new generation was much stronger than Heaven Luo planet’s.
Thinking up to this point, Lan Xuanyu’s eyes darted around. Lan Mengqin rolled her eyes at him. “Stop looking around. Our team doesn’t have a third person, there’s only the two of us. Were we to have too many people yet insufficient strength, that would be burdensome. The two of us are enough.”
A team of two?
Qian Lei was astounded. “Elder sister, it’s really just the two of you! Isn’t that being at a disadvantage?”
“Stop throwing that term around,” Lan Mengqin fumed. “We don’t even know who’s older between the two of us. So what if it’s just the two of us, didn’t we make it here? Let me tell you, back in our academy, we’re both called the Ice Snow Goddesses. Qianqiu is ice, I’m snow. In the future, you can call me Madame Goddess. This Goddess will protect you.”
These words spoken by a 12-year-old were extremely adorable. Qian Lei’s eyes stared straight at her blankly and he subconsciously replied, “Madame Goddess is mighty.”
No longer able to tolerate it, Liu Feng raised his leg and kicked the shameless boy away.
“Madame Goddess?” Lan Xuanyu’s mouth revealed a cheeky smile as he turned to look at Dong Qianqiu.
Dong Qianqiu raised her chin. “What are you calling me?”
Lan Xuanyu coughed once. “We’re about to head out.”
Ling Yiyi was already in the guesthouse along with a few other 20-year-old male and female youths. They were there to bring the participants to the test.
As before, the teachers were not permitted to follow. All the participants left and boarded the vehicles, where Lan Xuanyu and his team were separated from Dong Qianqiu and sat in different soul guidance buses, temporarily separated.
Right after boarding the bus, Qian Lei could no longer hold back and told Lan Xuanyu, “Xuanyu, Elder sister Mengqin is so pretty! And she has a demeanour that no one else has.”
Lan Xuanyu looked at him in surprise and said, “What do you mean?”
Qian Lei smiled brightly. “Nothing! I just feel that there’s fate between me and her.”
Liu Feng rolled his eyes. “You still have time to think about such things? Get past Shrek’s semi-finals first. You obviously didn’t pay attention to Xuanyu and Dong Qianqiu’s conversation. That Lan Mengqin should be more fearsome than Dong Qianqiu. Since the two of them dared to form a team alone together, you should roughly guess how strong they are.”
Qian Lei laughed. “It’s good that they are powerful! She can protect me this way! Xuanyu, tell me, if we work together, can we summon Elder sister Mengqin as well?”
Lan Xuanyu replied somewhat helplessly. “Liu Feng is right, you better make use of your time to think about how we’re going to pass the semi-finals first.”
The soul guidance bus did not travel for too long before it quickly stopped at an empty area. Once everyone disembarked, they were immediately stunned by the scene before their eyes.
Reflected in their eyes was a gigantic plaza with a clear, crystalline dark blue lake. On the other side was a large building complex.
Lan Xuanyu did not look at the cluster of buildings but had his eyes fixed on the surface of the lake, as he immediately saw the gigantic tree that overlooked everything from the sky in the center of the lake.
Even from the great distance, he could see the faint green lights proliferating around the gigantic tree trunk that shot to the clouds. He could not see what was above the clouds, but immediately sensed the abundance of life energy when looking at the large tree, which was what he had absorbed while training.
If not for being rationale and clear of the situation, he had the urge to rush to the tree. The dense life force seemed to be calling out to him intimately.
The other students also sensed the rich life energy and could not help but praise the location. Compared to Shrek guesthouse, the life energy here was even denser. If they could train here, it would definitely take half the time and double the efforts! This sensation was even stronger for the Soul Masters with plant type Martial Souls.
On the giant plaza were various statues, totaling to more than 10. But right at the center was a striking gold statue, with its entire body clad in gold armor, a pair of gigantic golden wings spread open behind, and a golden trident raised up in hand. There was a faint and unique aura around this statue, which felt somewhat like grief, but also duty-boundness and decisiveness.
When Lan Xuanyu turned to look at it, he immediately recognized the history of this statue. Wasn’t it identical to the Gold Dragon Moon Song garage kit that he bought previously?
Gold Dragon Moon Song was a four-word battle armor and had existed for ten thousand years, belonging to one of Shrek Academy’s ancestors. Lan Xuanyu had heard of other stories relating to him and vaguely knew that it was because of this ancestor’s hard work that a crisis on Douluo planet managed to resolve.
At that period of time, Shrek Academy was almost destroyed and it was he who single handedly rebuilt Shrek Academy, leading to the current day Shrek Academy and Shrek City. It could even be said that his contributions to Shrek were too huge and were equivalent to the most important person in Shrek Academy’s 10 thousand years of history.
So despite Battle Armors being developed to six-words at present, thus having even more layers than in the past, this statue remained at the center of Sea God Square, representing his importance to the location.
Further ahead in front of the teaching block was a gigantic statue that also wielded a golden trident. Due to the distance, Lan Xuanyu was unable to see his appearance clearly, but he was able to guess that he should be the core person of Shrek Academy’s first generation Shrek Seven Devils and also the academy’s first godly existence, Sea God Tang San.
