The next day, discussions of all sorts resounded throughout every corner of Shrek Academy...
A male student whispered, "Have you all heard? It's said that the newcomer Xu Sheng actively refused the invitation from the Sea God's Pavilion."
The girl next to him looked utterly shocked, "Really? Not just anyone can enter the Sea God's Pavilion. Every elder's strength is at least at the level of a Titled Douluo!"
"This is obviously false. How could the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion invite a Soul Master to join? Don't spread rumors."
"Exactly, how could something like this happen? That teacher named Xu Sheng is indeed strong, but not to the extent that the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion would invite him to join!"
Listening to the gossip of these students, the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, who had just gathered together, wore very unpleasant expressions. Elder Cai gritted his teeth, "Who leaked this matter? How do the students know about this?"
The Sea God's Pavilion had painstakingly invited someone to join, yet they were refused...
This matter getting out would only bring them disgrace...
Feng Wu Yu shook his head, "I don't know either. Could it be that Xu Sheng himself said something?"
Long Yeyue nodded, pondering, "It's possible! After all, besides the Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion, only he knew about this!"
Tang Yinmeng shook her head, "It shouldn't be likely. Last night, Xu Sheng was resting inside the Sea God's Pavilion!"
On the other side, Turbid World coughed twice with some guilt, "Maybe a student happened to pass by and overheard?"
Last night, after resolving a conflict with his disciple Wu Changkong, in a moment of joy, he blurted out everything about Xu Sheng to Wu Changkong and Shen Yi...
Perhaps it was the latter who spread it!
Just as everyone was deep in thought, Yun Ming, exuding an aura of elegance, walked over with his hands behind his back, "What are you all discussing?"
Seeing Yun Ming suddenly appear, Elder Cai and the others all respectfully greeted, "Pavilion Master!"
Ya Li said angrily, "Pavilion Master, now the entire academy is talking about our invitation to Xu Sheng to join the Sea God's Pavilion, and that he refused!"
Long Yeyue chimed in, "Exactly, where does this leave the face of the Sea God's Pavilion?"
Yun Ming couldn't help but smile faintly, "Fellow elders, there's no need to worry. No student will believe such a thing!"
The conversation with Xu Sheng last night,
...
Elsewhere, Wu Changkong, having been sleepless all night, found Xu Sheng early in the morning, his bloodshot eyes eagerly fixed on him...
He spoke, "Teacher Xu, I have brought you to Shrek Academy. Shouldn't you uphold your promise and tell me how to resurrect Long Bing?"
Xu Sheng chuckled, "Teacher Wu, reviving the deceased is not so simple. There's no need to rush!"
Waiting half a day only to hear this, Wu Changkong's face darkened, and his tone became markedly colder, "Teacher Xu, are you toying with me?"
Everything he had done was for Long Bing, but Xu Sheng was so dismissive!!
Seeing this, Xu Sheng consoled, "Teacher Wu, don't overthink it. To resurrect Long Bing, we must first create a body for her, and additionally, we need a large quantity of Immortal Herbs and medicine."
After these words, Wu Changkong's expression finally softened a bit...
Thinking about it like this, it makes sense. Reviving the dead is defying the heavens, how could it be accomplished with just a few words!
He pursed his thin lips, with an apology, "I lost my composure earlier."
Xu Sheng remained calm, "No problem."
After a brief pause, he turned his gaze towards a hidden direction, smiling, "But Teacher Shen, eavesdropping from the shadows, could you please come out now?"
This statement caused Wu Changkong to furrow his brow, and he likewise turned his gaze, "Huh??"
Indeed, after a few seconds of silence, a figure emerged from behind the hidden wall—it was none other than Shen Yi, who had been eavesdropping...
Her dazzling eyes fixed on Teacher Wu, she mustered the courage to ask, "Senior Brother... did I hear correctly? You were discussing... resurrecting Long Bing."
...
Not long after, when Xu Sheng was led to a room filled with powerful auras, he calmly pushed open the door and walked in...
Bi Ji, who was explaining things to the other ferocious beasts, was interrupted by the sound of the door creaking...
All the shape-shifted ferocious beasts, including Di Tian, turned their gaze toward the entering Xu Sheng...
Upon seeing clearly, their pupils all contracted sharply...
This man, their minds whispered with a sense of inexplicable fear...
Xu Sheng's lips curved slightly, "What? Are you all surprised to see me?"
Bi Ji frowned, "Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be at Shrek Academy?"
The reason they allowed Gu Yue to stay at Shrek Academy was precisely because of him!
But now that he was here, it might not bode well for the latter!!
Xu Sheng naturally understood her thoughts and patiently explained, "Don't worry about your master. She's safe. Besides, I sensed you weren't at your usual dwelling, so I came to check in!"
Saying this, he casually found a seat to sit down...
Hearing this, the expressions of the ferocious beasts finally relaxed...
Di Tian spoke with a calm demeanor, "Xu Sheng, what is the master doing now?"
Xu Sheng's dark eyes glinted as he leisurely replied, "She is currently traveling with her companions to other cities to challenge Soul Masters of the same rank!"
Seeing this, Di Tian nodded, not pursuing further questions...
Given that this man had said so, it meant that the master was very safe...
Still, this situation made the room's atmosphere awkward, as everyone exchanged glances, unsure of what to say...
Ultimately, it was Xu Sheng who broke the silence, "Bi Ji, was it Gu Yue who instructed you to form an army here?"
Bi Ji was momentarily stunned but quickly reacted, affirming, "Yes, before the master left, she instructed us to form an army under the guise of humans! To accommodate human Soul Masters, thus strengthening our own power!"
"Until now, the army has expanded to approximately eight thousand Soul Masters."
She didn't hide any information because in front of this God, it was meaningless!
If he could find them here, he surely could deduce the situation from outside!
Xu Sheng propped up his chin, contemplating, "Eight thousand Soul Masters? Along with your top-tier strength, you can rival forces excluding Shrek Academy!"
The only flaw might be the varying strength of the Soul Masters, ranging from high-level Soul Douluo to lower-level Soul Elders!
Upon hearing this, the other ferocious beasts all showed proud expressions...
