Elsewhere, Gu Yue, who had already boarded the Soul Guidance Train, followed her faint connection with He Ditian to the army's encampment!
When she discovered that the army's scale was already quite large, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but sparkle with surprise, "Oh? Is this the army Ditian and his men expanded?"
She originally thought it would take time to develop, but unexpectedly, it had expanded to such an extent in a short period!
Vaguely visible, many members of the army were excitedly discussing...
One member picked up a form in his hand and said joyfully, "Today, hundreds of Soul Masters joined our army. It won't be long before we become a top force on the continent!"
Another member nearby also said proudly, "That's right, especially because our commander reached Ultimate Douluo! Just this fact is enough to uphold our entire army's reputation!"
"Absolutely, our army has gained the federation's support, and it seems even the War God Hall holds us in high regard!"
"Let's keep quiet! Otherwise, attracting the attention of other forces might lead to unforeseen actions!"
Gu Yue pursed her thin lips and stepped forward, "Excuse me, may I join?"
Her words immediately drew everyone's attention, and upon feeling the soul power fluctuation emanating from her...
They exclaimed in shock, "What? She's only in her teens but has already reached Soul Ancestor! What a terrifying talent!"
"If we can recruit such a talented child, I'm afraid the commander will not refuse!"
"It's hard to say. In my opinion, it's better to consult the commander. After all, our army has no precedent for recruiting children!"
All those who joined their army were adults!
"No need, we are already here!"
As the words fell, a man exuding invisible majesty stepped forward from behind them!
It was Ditian, along with other ferocious beasts!
Seeing this, the army members quickly bowed and said, "Commander, masters!"
Ditian, upon hearing this, simply gave them a glance, "Hmm, you all may withdraw."
"Yes!"
The army members responded and decisively left!
At this moment, Ditian's golden eyes fixed on Gu Yue at the front, and he said respectfully, "Lord! You have finally arrived!"
Other ferocious beasts also said in unison, "Lord!"
Gu Yue nodded and asked, "Ditian, is this the Soul Beast Legion you've established? What is the current situation?"
Ditian was momentarily stunned, then replied, "Yes, lord, our legion now has nearly tens of thousands of Soul Masters, and it won't be long before we can continue to expand further!"
He paused for a moment and continued, "In addition to the expansion of our legion size, we've also gained federation support and are attempting to research soul tools!"
Gu Yue's expression tightened, "Gaining federation support, what is the price?"
She did not trust the federation to provide such significant support to an unfamiliar army without reason!
Bi Ji smiled slightly, "As expected of the lord, we can't hide it from you. The price is simple; it's just to give our name to the federation!"
This can be deemed both important and meaningless!
After all, once the legion truly develops to contend with top forces, it can be completely ignored!
However, before then, temporarily relying on the federation is not a bad thing!
Gu Yue thoughtfully nodded, "I see, that's no problem!"
One of the ferocious beasts switched the topic, "Lord, since it's rare for you to return, how long do you plan to stay this time?"
Gu Yue's cheeks showed slight helplessness, "I'm just here today to have a look. Tomorrow I have to return to the academy!"
She wished to stay here longer to personally observe the legion's development, but Shrek Academy's rules were very strict!
Failure to return within the stipulated time will result in direct expulsion!
Upon hearing this, all the ferocious beasts were somewhat disappointed...
...
Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy!
Just seeing the principal and various teachers discussing something in the room...
Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded, and a student burst through the door, panting and said, "Principal, teachers, according to the information sent by students we stationed in Shrek City, Shrek Academy's Cai Yue'er is leading some teachers heading towards us!"
"Moreover, she threatened that if we don't hand over Teacher Liu and the others, they will destroy the academy!"
Upon these words, everyone's faces changed dramatically, seemingly not expecting Shrek Academy to actually intend to take action against them!
The principal seated in the middle anxiously asked, "What? How did this happen? Haven't I sent someone to inform the Sea God Pavilion Master? Why are they directly attacking us!"
The students he sent out hadn't returned yet, and he thought they were negotiating, but unexpectedly, Shrek Academy had directly launched an attack!
"Principal, don't think anymore, Shrek Academy has no intention of sparing us. They must want an excuse to destroy us!"
"That's correct; if there were room for negotiation, why would they send the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion?"
"Principal, let's quickly gather the students and evacuate. With our strength, we cannot withstand!"
"Yes, yes, yes, if we leave now, it should still be in time! From Shrek City to here, it takes at least three to four hours!"
The principal hesitated, his eyes blinked rapidly, "But... if we leave, the academy we've painstakingly built will be wasted!"
Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy had consumed much of his life's effort; it was genuinely tough to let go suddenly!
The teacher beside him had a hint of coldness in his eyes and urged, "Principal, stop hesitating. Once Shrek Academy's team arrives, it will be too late! The academy is good, but the premise is to preserve life!"
"That's right, Principal, with every second you hesitate, we and the students are at greater risk!"
"Principal, you wouldn't want to see everyone falling in pools of blood, would you? Quickly order the evacuation!"
Upon hearing these words, the principal painfully closed his eyes, "Inform everyone... let all students and teachers evacuate the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy!"
Saying this, he seemed to age decades instantly, devoid of vitality...
Immediately, Teacher Liu and the other two teachers beside him sighed in relief...
If this principal were to be heartless and hand them over to Shrek Academy, the final result would definitely be none alive!
However, luckily, considering their contributions to the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy, he didn't resort to such an ungrateful action!
Immediately said, "Understood, Principal, I'll go notify the students for evacuation, but the escape destination?"
The principal didn't want further discussion, "Do as you originally said!"
Inwardly, he thought, "Shrek Academy, the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy I painstakingly built ended up like this, all because of you!"
