The Master said, "With Martial Soul Hall's personality, after losing such a heavy defeat, it's impossible for them not to counterattack. But they suffered a significant loss on their second attempt as well, so they never went to Sea God Island again."
Tang San was surprised, "Even Martial Soul Hall is no match for Sea God Island?"
Martial Soul Hall is a power that even the combined strength of the Two Great Empires and the Upper Three Sects cannot defeat.
The Master shook his head, "I'm not sure. Perhaps they can fight against each other, but that would mean mutual destruction, so they gave up."
The Master continued, "Not many people know about that place because the Soul Masters there cannot leave Sea God Island. If you go to Sea God Island, even if you manage to blend in, leaving will still be a problem."
Flande was curious, "Xiao Gang, how did you come to know so much about Sea God Island?"
The Master didn't answer immediately. He glanced around and asked, "Is Er'long at the academy?"
Flande shook his head, "No, she went back to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan."
The Master nodded and said, "I went there once. During Martial Soul Hall's second counterattack, I went with Bibi Dong. It's a magical place where the Soul Masters are called Sea Soul Masters, and they are incredibly powerful in the ocean. Let's put it this way, a Soul Douluo level Sea Soul Master can defeat a Titled Douluo from the outside world in a sea battle."
"So powerful."
Tang San and the others were shocked, yet they were excited and expectant.
Meanwhile, Ye Yu joked, "No wonder the teacher asked if Aunt Er Long was here first. He was probably afraid she'd get jealous and angry."
Tang San added, "The teacher is such a henpecked husband."
The Master, slightly annoyed, said to Tang San, "Knowing you, you'll surely be a henpecked husband after you get married."
With the Master's comment, Tang San felt it might be true, giving an awkward smile, realizing he was no better.
The Master continued, "However, the Soul Masters there are not bloodthirsty. They will only act when they are opposed. There are about three thousand Soul Masters there, and there should also be several Titled Douluo. But there exists someone even stronger, frequently mentioned by those Titled Douluo as Lord Sea God."
Tang San was surprised, "Sea God? Is he a god?"
The Master shook his head, "Probably not, but the Sea God is considered a deity to them and definitely has a power level of ninety-nine."
"Sea God Island is fraught with dangers, even for Xiao Yu, but it is also filled with opportunities. I believe you can survive there, but I'm worried you might not return. After all, crossing the sea to return to the mainland will encounter resistance from Sea Soul Masters. Although Xiao Yu and you Seven Monsters can use Xiao Ao's Flying Mushroom Sausage, don't attempt to fly away, as there's a Soul Master on Sea God Island with a Martial Soul of a Seagull."
Ye Yu nodded, understanding that if they go, they must also be able to return. If they can't return despite becoming stronger, it would be futile.
The Master said, "Since you are going to Sea God Island, let the Seven Monsters and One Demon go together. I've already talked with Sect Leader Ning. Although he is hesitant, I believe he will let Ning Rongrong join you. I've also sent messages out; it should have reached Mubai and Zhuqing by now. Since it is an extremely dangerous place, you should act together, which will give me some peace of mind."
Ye Yu and Tang San did not expect that the Master had already planned a path for their improvement, silently doing a lot for them behind the scenes.
After Emperor Xue Ye woke up and learned that Ye Yu saved him, he was very grateful and ordered Ye Yu to become a Grand Guest Elder of the Royal Family, with a status equal to that of the Emperor.
At night, Yang Wudi came to the academy to find Ye Yu.
Yang Wudi said, "Ye Yu, do you know why I could cure Emperor Xue Ye's poison?"
Ye Yu replied, "Your poison technique is high?"
"No," Yang Wudi shook his head. "The poison Emperor Xue Ye was afflicted with is the forbidden poison of our Po Clan, the Seven-colored Splendor. This kind of forbidden poison only my brother and I know how to counteract. My brother left years ago and has now joined Martial Soul Hall. His name is Yang Wushuang. If you ever encounter him, leave his life for me."
Ye Yu nodded, "I can."
Meanwhile, at Martial Soul Hall,
In the Pope Hall, Pope Bibi Dong faced Qianren Xue.
Bibi Dong said, "This failure was not your fault."
Qianren Xue replied, "Punishment should be given if deserved. Special treatment might make people think I have some connection to you."
Bibi Dong's eyes were complicated, "Isn't there?"
"No, the only person related to me in this world is my grandfather."
Though Bibi Dong appeared calm on the surface, inwardly she felt a pang of pain.
Qianren Xue departed to find Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu asked, "Did you see her?"
Qianren Xue nodded faintly.
Qian Daoliu sighed, "She is actually in pain too. It wasn't her fault, and she does have feelings for you."
Qianren Xue didn't want to listen, "Grandfather, you're my only family. As long as she is alive."
Qian Daoliu said, "Your talent is excellent, partly due to the Six-winged Angel Martial Soul, and also due to her inheritance."
Qian Daoliu shifted the topic, asking solemnly, "Xue'Er, do you like that Ye Yu?"
Upon hearing this, Qianren Xue frowned slightly and shook her head, "No."
"When I saved you, I already knew. You are enemies; Martial Soul Hall and the Apocalypse Black Dragon are more of mortal enemies. You will inevitably face each other again in a life-and-death battle. Xue'Er, let me ask you, when the time comes, can you show no mercy and kill him?"
Qianren Xue did not answer; her expression was somber, "His talent far surpasses mine, I'm no match for him."
"If it comes to it, can you kill him without hesitation? Answer me."
To Qianren Xue's astonishment, Qian Daoliu's expression was incredibly serious at this moment.
After a brief hesitation, Qianren Xue nodded firmly, "I can!"
"That's good, Xue'Er. I will help you surpass him!"
Qianren Xue was surprised, surpass Ye Yu? Is this possible?
At this moment, at Shrek Academy.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had already arrived. After receiving the Master's letter, they returned at once.
Simultaneously, Ning Rongrong had arrived, accompanied by Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo.
Although Ning Fengzhi was worried, he realized that crises lead to growth and that his daughter must face the challenges together with Ye Yu and the others.
Aside from Ye Yu, the Seven Monsters gathered.
Ye Yu went to Xingdou Great Forest to talk with Zi Ji, with the aim of having the Hell Demon Dragon, Titan Giant Ape, and Celestial Cyan Bull Python strengthen their connection. He was aware that Bibi Dong would act against the Titan Giant Ape and Celestial Cyan Bull Python afterward, and he wasn't sure if he could return in time, so he asked the Hell Demon Dragon Race to assist.
With the Hell Demon Dragon Race added, even Bibi Dong would find it difficult to succeed.
The reason for helping the Titan Giant Ape and Celestial Cyan Bull Python is partially because they are Xiao Wu's family, and partially because, in his past moment of irrationality, they were the ones who stopped him, or else he would have continued rampaging until he exhausted himself to death.
