In front of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy building, a middle-aged man with blond hair walked out quickly, looking at Fang Yang and the others with a gloomy expression.
"Damn it, it's you Shrek Academy again!"
His tone was filled with undisguised annoyance and anger.
"Uh..."
Fang Yang was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to respond. He was being cursed at by Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy, but this bill was being charged to Shrek Academy's account.
The blond middle-aged man was not dealing with this situation for the first time; he was too lazy to even ask.
A strong fluctuation of soul power suddenly surged from his body.
"Shrek Academy is here to challenge again, huh? Fine! Come, come, come, all follow me."
The blond middle-aged man snorted coldly, said no more, turned around, and walked towards the interior of the building.
Wu Zhangkong's expression remained unchanged, he only slightly gestured to the people behind him.
Fang Yang and the others followed closely behind, walking into this academy famous for soul tool technology.
Everything inside was full of metallic texture.
In the center of the spacious hall, a huge metal sphere hung quietly in mid-air, rotating slowly, with a dark blue luster flowing on its surface.
It obviously contained surging soul tool energy, with complex and precise core arrays faintly visible.
The faint light it emitted illuminated the entire hall brightly and softly.
The blond middle-aged man didn't look back, silently leading the way in front.
When passing the front desk, two beautiful receptionists hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully to him.
But when their gazes swept over the Shrek group, they revealed undisguised exclusion.
Along the way, Fang Yang and them also encountered quite a few students from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy.
These students varied in age, but all wore pure white school uniforms.
The looks they cast towards the Shrek group were obviously unfriendly, even faintly revealing exclusion and hostility.
No choice, this is what arch-enemies are.
Just like this, everyone followed the blond middle-aged man and took the elevator up.
Soon, the elevator stopped smoothly on the sixteenth floor.
Everyone was brought into a spacious and bright square conference room, with simple and hard lines, and the furnishings were quite modern.
The blond middle-aged man turned around, arms crossed over his chest, his cold gaze falling on Wu Zhangkong.
"You, Shrek Academy, are here to challenge at the door again, huh?"
"That's right."
Wu Zhangkong responded, his cold voice had no emotional fluctuation, as if stating a fact that was too ordinary.
"You are their team leader teacher?"
The blond middle-aged man asked again.
"Yes."
Wu Zhangkong's dark green eyes stared straight at the other party, "By the way, I'll have to trouble you to arrange two Soul Emperors in your team's battle list."
"Otherwise."
His tone was still plain, but carried an unquestionable dominance, "I'm afraid your Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy can't afford to lose."
"You...!"
The blond middle-aged man's pupils contracted, veins on his forehead jumped slightly, obviously angered by the contempt in these words.
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging anger.
Wu Zhangkong seemed not to see his reaction, only lightly adding: "Please arrange it."
The blond middle-aged man stared dead at Wu Zhangkong, for a long while, squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth:
"Fine, very good! You just wait for me!"
After speaking, he suddenly turned around and left the conference room.
Two hours later!
The entire Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy had started to move.
Regarding the arrival of this match, various promotions had spread overwhelmingly throughout the entire Mingdu, even the entire Sun Moon Federation!
This match was given a name: Duel of Fate, the Peak Battle of the Soul Master World's Youths!
Since defeating Shrek Academy's Genius Team, Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy's confidence had multiplied.
This full-force promotion was precisely to take the opportunity to slap Shrek Academy's face again, maximizing this glory.
Just when everyone was waiting somewhat impatiently, the conference room door opened, and that blond middle-aged man walked in again.
"The match is ready, it will be held in our academy's Great Soul Battle Arena. Do you need to prepare?"
Wu Zhangkong's tone was cold, "No need, start directly."
"Good, then follow me."
Under the blond middle-aged man's lead, everyone arrived at the Great Soul Battle Arena located underground of the academy building.
What came into view was a stone space, looking simple and unadorned.
Carefully feeling, within these ancient stones, there seemed to be very strange energy fluctuations contained, making one's soul power feel a sense of boiling.
"This is the Great Soul Battle Arena's waiting area, shortly you will be notified to enter the arena for the match."
The blond middle-aged man pointed to a stone bench on one side, indicating they could wait here first.
"Everyone sit down." Wu Zhangkong spoke.
Everyone sat down one after another.
Outside the waiting area, deafening sound waves came, either shouting cheers, or ruthless curses.
"This..."
Xu Xiaoyan whispered somewhat uneasily.
"Xiaoyan, it's nothing, I'll teach them a lesson later." Fang Yang lightly hugged Xu Xiaoyan to comfort her.
"Mm."
Xu Xiaoyan sat peacefully in Fang Yang's embrace.
Wu Zhangkong seeing this, a hint of unnoticeable smile flashed in his eyes: "Fang Yang is annoyed, now there's a good show to watch."
Ten minutes later.
"The match is about to start, please prepare to enter." With the blond middle-aged man's voice sounding.
In front of everyone, two huge arch doors slowly opened.
The originally very noisy sound suddenly became even more intense, an extremely heated atmosphere rushed towards them.
Under Fang Yang's lead, the team members held their heads high and chests out, confidently walking onto the Soul Battle Platform!
The real Soul Battle area was vaster than the waiting area.
A huge Soul Battle Platform with a diameter exceeding one thousand meters, and a dome that rose to one hundred meters high were carved exquisite reliefs, dense soul tool array patterns glowed faintly around; it was dazzling to behold.
This is the workmanship of Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy!
At this moment, the stands were packed, and the noise was deafening.
These people couldn't all be from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy; an academy with ten thousand people was already very impressive.
With so many people seated, it was unknown where they all came from.
On the main platform in the center, Fang Yang could feel several auras as heavy as mountains.
Their attention was entirely on his group, who had just walked out.
Waves of mockery and curses constantly came from the stands.
This made Xie Xie, Tang Wulin and the others couldn't help but involuntarily clench their fists.
There was no other way; their opponents had the home court advantage.
However, facing these noises, Fang Yang and Gu Yue remained calm, completely unaffected.
What do others' insults and mockery have to do with you? They are merely other people's opinions.
If you live by others' opinions, how can you enjoy life and experience life?
People should live according to their own heart, listen to their own voice, be what kind of person they should be, do what they should do, and do what they want to do.
Become the person you want to become, on your own road, embark on your own pilgrimage alone.
