Yuanen Yehui showed a doubtful expression, "Are you sure? I remember last time you got beaten up pretty badly!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Zhengyu's face showed a wronged expression and explained, "That's different, last time Xie Xie played dirty and called in Ye Xinglan, or I would've had them down and out!"
It's true his strength is formidable, but it's far from reaching the level of Yuanen Yehui's one-versus-five!
Moreover, Xie Xie and Ye Xinglan's talents are not inferior to his, so it was expected that he'd be defeated!
But in the next second, he furrowed his brows and said, "Wait a minute, I never said I wanted to go two against seven like last time!"
Yuanen Yehui exclaimed in surprise, "Then what do you want to do?"
Yue Zhengyu patted his chest and boasted, "Since it's a team battle, we can only experience it with seven on seven, so let's call in other inner court students!"
Yuanen Yehui lifted their chin and said, "In that case, it would be a total crush! Unless... we all suppress our soul power rank to Soul King!"
Yue Zhengyu squinted, "Hmm, speaking of which, last time's face-off relied entirely on your individual strength, but if we suppress the soul power rank to Soul King, we might not really be an opponent for Tang Wulin and the others!"
Yuanen Yehui seemed to find some sense in it too, recalling the scenes from back then...
After a while, seriously said, "Hmm, Tang Wulin and their cooperation is indeed very tacit! I agree with your suggestion this time."
Whether it's Xu Xiaoyan's control, or Gu Yue's command, and the unconditional trust of the others towards the latter, it's all worth learning!
But paused for a moment and hesitated, "But the biggest problem is still to make other inner court students agree!"
Yue Zhengyu snapped his fingers confidently, "That's simple, we just need to explain to the Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion, after all... with our talent, we shouldn't be refused!"
Darn Xie Xie, this time, no one will help you!
...
On the other side, within the hall of the Xingluo Empire!
Sitting on the throne was Dai Tianling, his gaze fixed on Dai Yun'er below, his unpleasant face forcibly squeezing out a bit of a smile...
Unlike the former, the ministers standing below showed some discontent, but they concealed it well...
All opened their mouths to remind, "Her Royal Highness the Princess, we and His Majesty are discussing important matters! Whatever the matter is, it can wait."
"Yes, Her Royal Highness, currently evil Soul Masters are rampant, we must formulate a response strategy in advance!"
"Her Royal Highness, His Majesty is currently troubled by the matter of the evil Soul Masters, any trivial matters should be set aside."
Upon hearing this, Dai Yun'er's face turned a bit colder, "You mean my affairs are trivial then?"
When the ministers heard this, their faces turned pale but they did not dare to rebut...
After all, everyone knew, Dai Tianling adored his daughter immensely!
Even Dai Yueyan held his forehead and secretly thought, "My sister really gives the ministers no face at all!"
Sure enough, Dai Tianling didn't get angry, instead, he gently asked, "Yun'er, did you have something to say, suddenly rushing into the hall?"
Dai Yun'er blinked her beautiful eyes, "Father, there's something I want to seek your approval for!!"
Dai Tianling curiously asked, "What is it? Feel free to say it!"
Dai Yun'er said with a determined expression, "I want to go to Shrek Academy!!"
Anyway, her willful personality isn't new to these ministers, one more time wouldn't matter!
Dai Tianling's expression immediately became a bit stern, "No, Yun'er, you know the situation in Xingluo Land, how can you leave recklessly?"
If something happens on Soul Land, Xingluo Empire does not have the spare capacity to pursue the matter!
....
Another month has passed, and the second to leave the hallucination trial was Ye Xinglan, followed by Yuanen Yehui, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan...
Due to psychological impact, Yue Zhengyu was the last to leave the hallucination!
Ye Xinglan curiously asked, "Wulin, how long have you been waiting for us here?"
Tang Wulin, ending his meditation, pondered for a while and answered, "About a month!"
Xu Lizhi exclaimed in surprise, "You were even faster than us, Wulin, how did you do it!"
Tang Wulin scratched his head, "It's a long story! I'll tell everyone when there's time."
Xie Xie glanced sideways at Yue Zhengyu, whose face was pale, teasingly saying, "Yue Zhengyu, how come you were the last one to leave the hallucination, even slower than Xiaoyan and Lizhi!"
Yue Zhengyu shot him a cold glare, "Shut up, I'm not in the mood for your jokes!"
Thinking about what happened in the hallucination gave him a psychological shadow!
Noticing his off emotion, Xie Xie wisely chose to say nothing more...
Only Xu Xiaoyan showed a worried expression, "Yue Zhengyu, are you okay?"
It seemed he had suffered greatly in the hallucination!
Yue Zhengyu's expression softened a bit, "Xiaoyan, I'm fine, I just need to rest a bit!"
Tang Wulin looked at him with sympathy...
At that time, he clearly witnessed what happened in the hallucination!
The person you like suddenly turning into an old hag amidst the intimacy, imagine how despairing it was!
Of course, he didn't intend to reveal this!
At that moment, seven Old Demons appeared beside them once more...
Leading them, Old Demon Greed said with a faint smile, "Congratulations on completing all the trials and becoming the new Shrek Seven Monsters! Of course, I must remind you, what you face next will no longer be hallucinations!"
After speaking, he looked towards the other Old Demons, "Which one of you would like to send these kids off the Demon Island?"
Upon hearing this, the other Old Demons all retreated a step without expression...
At this scene, Xie Xie and the others twitched their faces...
Even when they're about to leave, can't these Old Demons leave a slightly good impression?
Even Old Demon Greed seemed a little taken aback, "Alright... now an additional trial, you must rely on your own strength to leave Demon Island! It seems, the other Old Demons don't intend to help you!"
Tang Wulin nodded, "Hmm, senior, since we're about to leave, let me tell you about what happened before we go!"
After he spoke, he recounted the event he had promised to share...
After listening, Old Demon Greed suddenly realized, "I see, you actually possess weak Life Force and Destruction Force? And it's without adverse effects!"
Desire Demon also clicked his tongue, "Truly a lucky lad! Able to absorb two such powerful forces!"
He paused and continued, "However, I'd advise you not to use them lightly in the outside world, as these two forces might attract the Higher Realm Gods' attention!"
