Chapter 230 Returning to Shrek Academy.
"I've already left a message in Yuhao's spiritual sea. Consider this my way of absorbing the power of the soul rings to protect him, and then I've dissipated!"
Wu Xuan nodded upon hearing this.
Ilex nodded slightly, then transformed into a small ball of gray light and floated into Ye Guyi's spiritual sea.
A moment later, Huo Yuhao, who was sitting cross-legged beside him, slowly dissipated the gray mist around him, and the octagonal Xuanbing Grass quietly bloomed in his palm, with three purple soul rings rising silently. The soul ring configuration was astonishing—three purple soul rings.
Then, the level nine soul tool, the Conferred God Platform, and a piece of ice-blue, lustrous right arm soul bone fell to the ground with a thud.
Wu Xuan didn't care about the 100,000-year soul bone and reached out to grab the level nine soul tool, the Conferred God Platform. At this moment, the Conferred God Platform had no life force. Wu Xuan activated the left leg soul bone of the Silver Scale Griffin, directly absorbing it into his wind element martial soul.
Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes, feeling the increase in his strength and overjoyed. He instantly gained four levels of soul power, something he wouldn't have dared to dream of before.
But when Huo Yuhao summoned Elder Yi from his spiritual sea, he froze, his eyes instantly becoming empty, because he saw a scene left behind by Ilex.
Elder Yi had exhausted his remaining divine sense to help him successfully fuse with that 100,000-year soul ring, and now he had vanished.
"Yuhao, please accept my condolences. The situation was truly perilous. Elder Yi had no choice but to do this to protect you." Wu Xuan stepped forward and handed the 100,000-year soul bone to Huo Yuhao.
"Elder Yi!" Huo Yuhao took the soul bone from Wu Xuan, his eyes filled with tears, and he wept bitterly.
In less than five minutes, Huo Yuhao wiped away his tears, stood up, and said with a firm gaze, "Elder Yi, may you rest in peace. I will live on with your strength."
Seeing this, the two didn't say much and bid farewell to Huo Yuhao!
Wu Xuan and Ye Guyi immediately embarked on their journey back to Shrek Academy. Both were now at level 66 and 67 respectively, high-level Soul Emperors, and with the aid of their level 6 flying soul tools, their speed could only be described as lightning.
After a day of travel, Wu Xuan and Ye Guyi stopped in an unknown wilderness.
With a campfire and two tents set up, the two finally sat down around the fire. There was no need to cook; they had more than enough of the various local snacks they brought from Mingdu.
"So, are you confident in passing Elder Yi's test?" Wu Xuan asked casually, taking a bite of his braised beef.
Ye Guyi's face fell upon hearing this, and she said dejectedly, "Those incantations are too hard to pronounce. Am I just too stupid, or is the so-called magic too difficult? I have a feeling that those characters aren't even from our continent."
"You don't understand! Those are magical characters, a kind of script exclusive to magicians. Of course it's difficult to start from scratch."
Wu Xuan said helplessly, "I still haven't figured out the two spells Elder Yi taught me."
He's fine with fighting, but asking him to use his brain is too much for him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the surname Wu instead of Wen.
"That's good. I thought I was just too stupid! If you can't learn it, then I'm relieved." Ye Guyi breathed a sigh of relief, took a bite of the roasted lamb chop in her hand, and ate it with relish.
"Uh!" I haven't even seriously learned it yet, so what's the point of comparing myself to him? With my half-step tangible and tangible spiritual energy, what can't I do faster? Wu Xuan was speechless for a moment.
The campfire flickered in the wind, scattering a series of sparks that dissipated in mid-air.
Nothing happened that night!
Shrek City.
After nearly a day and a half of traveling at full speed, Wu Xuan and Ye Guyi finally caught sight of the outline of a massive city in the distance.
Regardless of the situation on the continent, Shrek City appeared prosperous and thriving. The city was densely populated, and the shops lining both sides of the streets were doing exceptionally well.
Wu Xuan and Ye Guyi were both very attractive, and their side-by-side travel unsurprisingly attracted the attention of many passersby.
Ye Guyi ignored the stares and calmly observed her surroundings.
At the entrance of Shrek Academy, Wu Xuan presented his inner academy identity token, and under the gentle smile of the teacher on duty, he led Ye Guyi into the academy.
The two walked along the path, and every now and then, outer academy students would approach Wu Xuan to greet him, mostly female students. Wu Xuan nodded slightly in response.
"Are you that popular with girls?" Ye Guyi glanced at Wu Xuan, who wore a fake smile.
"Of course! You think my reputation is fake? If I didn't have a family, I don't know how many girls would be handing me love letters," Wu Xuan said with some pride.
"What! A family? You have a child? How old are you? Just turned 18?" Ye Guyi looked at Wu Xuan in shock.
"You're overthinking it. I meant I have a girlfriend," Wu Xuan said, somewhat speechless.
"Oh~!" Ye Guyi gave Wu Xuan a deep look, a hint of disappointment creeping into her heart.
As the two talked, they reached the ferry crossing of Sea God Lake. Just as they stepped onto the inner courtyard, two people approaching from afar made Wu Xuan stop in his tracks.
"Nan Nan, don't walk so fast! The surveillance mission is too dangerous. Let me go with you!" Xu Sanshi said eagerly.
"No need, Xu Sanshi, just mind your own business." With that, he flashed and appeared beside the ferry.
The humble fawning voice and the ruthless rejection were unmistakably those of Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nan Nan, who had earned the Shrek Seven Devils title alongside Wu Xuan.
Ye Guyi, seeing this scene, immediately forgot her earlier disappointment and her gossip-loving spirit ignited.
"Eh! Wu Xuan, you're back at the academy." Seeing the familiar figure beside the ferry, Jiang Nan Nan's voice rang out in surprise.
"Just got back," Wu Xuan replied with a smile.
"And this is?" Jiang Nan Nan looked at Ye Guyi, a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Jiang Nannan's appearance was already quite outstanding, but compared to Ye Guyi in front of her, she paled in comparison in both temperament and looks.
"Let me introduce you. Her name is Ye Guyi. She's a friend I met during my training trip. I'm planning to recommend her to directly enter the Inner Academy for cultivation. Maybe we'll be classmates in the future," Wu Xuan said.
"Directly enter the Inner Academy?" Jiang Nannan looked puzzled. This girl named Ye Guyi seemed to be about her age; could her strength already be on par with hers?
"Then, Junior Brother Wu, I'll go carry out my surveillance mission now. We'll chat again next time." Seeing Xu Sanshi catching up quickly, Jiang Nannan said goodbye and boarded the boat to the other side.
"Okay, see you later!" Wu Xuan waved.
Xu Sanshi finally caught up at this moment, and upon seeing Wu Xuan, he immediately gave him a bear hug. "Wu Xuan, you're finally back! I missed you so much!"
Wu Xuan immediately pushed Xu Sanshi away in disgust.
