Long Yue gritted his teeth tightly and said coldly, "Are you scared?"
"What's the point of accepting a challenge from a defeated opponent?" Qian Mo said indifferently, looking completely uninterested.
"You!" Long Yue clenched his fists, but was speechless.
"Go wait over there!" Qian Mo waved his hand and sent Long Yue away.
After the final exchange with the Star Luo imperial family, the Douluo delegation successfully completed their mission and prepared to set sail back to the Douluo Continent.
The Shrek Academy delegation, along with Long Yue and Dai Yun'er who became exchange students, boarded the giant ship with the Douluo delegation once more, braving the winds and waves back to the Douluo Continent, returning to the Shrek Academy they had been away from for a long time.
"Come with me!"
Immediately upon returning to the academy, Cai Yue'er sent Wu Changkong to take Long Yue and Dai Yun'er to handle their enrollment, while she herself took Qian Mo and the others to her Outer Courtyard Dean's office.
The Outer Courtyard Dean's office was quite grand and spacious, more than enough room for Qian Mo and the others to stand in.
Pushing the door open, they saw Shen Yi waiting inside.
"Mr. Cai, the document from the Inner Courtyard," Shen Yi held a document in his hand and respectfully handed it to Cai Yue'er.
Cai Yue'er nodded slightly, took the document, sat down behind the office desk, and slowly opened the document.
"Qian Mo, Gu Yuena, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Le Zhengyu, Yuanen Yehui, Xu Xiaoyan, Ye Xinglan, and Xu Lizhi, the nine individuals, displayed outstanding performance during their trip representing Shrek to the Star Luo Empire, defending the honor of Shrek Academy and making indelible contributions to Shrek Academy."
"Therefore, after a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion, it has been decided that Qian Mo, Gu Yuena, Ye Xinglan, and Xu Lizhi will officially return to the Inner Courtyard, and Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Le Zhengyu, Yuanen Yehui, and Xu Xiaoyan will be specially approved to enter the Inner Courtyard."
Upon hearing Cai Yue'er's announcement, Qian Mo and Gu Yuena remained calm, as returning to the Inner Courtyard was something they had discussed with Yun Ming and Ya Li long ago and was completely within their expectations.
Tang Wulin and the others, however, were extraordinarily excited; entering the Inner Courtyard was a goal they had set when they first entered Shrek Academy, and now that their goal was realized, how could they not be happy and excited?
"Also," Cai Yue'er turned to another document, her expression solemn and serious.
Seeing Cai Yue'er's expression, Tang Wulin and the others exchanged glances, subconsciously straightened their backs, and also became serious.
"After multiple discussions at the Sea God Pavilion meeting, I hereby represent Shrek Academy in announcing that Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Le Zhengyu, Yuanen Yehui, and Xu Xiaoyan, seven individuals, will be the next generation of the Shrek Seven Devils!"
Shrek Seven Devils? Tang Wulin and the others felt like they were about to be knocked out by happiness and surprise!
Immediately following, Cai Yue'er said indifferently, "Don't be happy too early, within the next year, you must accept challenges from all Spirit Master teams below six rings. If no team below six rings can defeat them within one year, then the title of the new generation of Shrek Seven Devils will be confirmed."
According to the rules of Shrek Academy, once the Shrek Seven Devils are confirmed, that generation of Shrek Seven Devils will hold the title indefinitely until they voluntarily give it up, become members of the Sea God Pavilion, or die.
"No problem, we are confident in accepting challenges from anyone and defending the honor that belongs to the Shrek Seven Devils," Tang Wulin said with great fervor.
"Good, very spirited!" Cai Yue'er nodded with satisfaction.
After the announcement, everyone packed their luggage and headed to the Inner Courtyard, and Qian Mo and Gu Yuena also returned to their small attic.
In the afternoon, in Shrek Outer City, Qian Mo and Gu Yuena walked into an apartment together.
Opening the apartment door, they saw a man and a woman sitting in the living room.
The man was tall and wore black clothes, with a powerful aura, clearly indicating extraordinary strength.
The woman wore a green dress, gentle and graceful, her temperament very similar to Ya Li.
The man and woman bowed to Gu Yuena and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Lord."
Gu Yuena nodded with a cold expression and introduced, "These two are Di Tian and Bi Ji, and this is Qian Mo."
After Qian Mo proposed cooperation with the Spirit Beast race and Gu Yuena agreed, she had discussed it with the fierce beasts, but it met with their strong opposition.
Di Tian and Xiong Jun both believed that they should not cooperate with Qian Mo and should even eliminate him to prevent the identity of the Silver Dragon King from being revealed.
But Gu Yuena said, "How can you be sure that my identity hasn't been revealed to others by Qian Mo? What if we kill Qian Mo, and as a result, my true identity is completely publicized? What then?"
This single sentence rendered the fierce beasts speechless.
Finally, facing the situation where the handle of their Spirit Beast race was in Qian Mo's hands, the fierce beasts reluctantly agreed to Qian Mo's request for cooperation.
Therefore, this meeting between Qian Mo, Di Tian, and Bi Ji was brought about.
"Is he the Spirit Master that Lord mentioned, the one who wants to cooperate with us?" Bi Ji asked gently.
"Cooperation? Let's not talk about his intentions, how can a mere young Spirit Master be qualified to cooperate with us!" Di Tian said coldly from the side.
Di Tian made no attempt to hide his hostility towards Qian Mo, believing that cooperating with humans was like asking a tiger for its skin.
For this, he even harbored killing intent towards Qian Mo, but under Gu Yuena's stern warning, holding the dragon god core, Di Tian temporarily suppressed his killing intent, but making him show a good face to Qian Mo? That was impossible!
Qian Mo sat leisurely across from Di Tian and Bi Ji and said indifferently, "Na'er has already judged my intentions, you don't need to say it. Also, cooperation never depends on age or strength, but on whether both sides have suitable interests to exchange."
"Interests?" Di Tian scoffed upon hearing Qian Mo's words, his face showing undisguised contempt.
Gu Yuena then said, "A Mo, you asked me to contact Di Tian and the others, is there something?"
"Of course," Qian Mo straightened his expression, "I need Di Tian and the others to help me with something!"
Di Tian said coldly, "We can't possibly do things for a human!"
"Are... you... sure?" Qian Mo said in a low voice.
Di Tian's aura suddenly erupted, and he said sharply and indifferently, "Threatening us? Do you believe we won't fight you to the death!"
Di Tian understood that if Qian Mo got whatever he wanted, then Qian Mo would use the handle he had over them to demand anything in the future, which was absolutely unacceptable.
Qian Mo shrugged and said with a smile, "I'm still young and talented, so fighting you to the death would be a great loss for me. So I've brought a piece of news. Do you want to hear it? I believe you will all be very interested."
Gu Yuena stood to the side, raising an eyebrow. She knew that Qian Mo never spoke without a purpose, and if he said she would be interested, it was likely related to Spirit Beasts.
So, Gu Yuena asked with interest, "Tell me about it. There will be punishment if it doesn't interest me!"
"The dragon slaying blade, do you still remember it?" Qian Mo said with a smile.
A sharp light burst from Gu Yuena's eyes, and Di Tian also stared intently at Qian Mo; how could they not know about the dragon slaying blade?
