Chapter 3856: Chapter 3703
Skyfixed Star Soul Master Academy, Starwatch Platform!
Xu Xiaoyan, seated cross-legged on the ground, fluttered her eyelashes slightly and then opened her watery eyes...
She rubbed her head, feeling somewhat exhausted, and said weakly, "It feels like it's been so long, my head is so dizzy!"
Xie Xie, standing beside her, joyfully said, "Xiao Yan, you finally woke up! We thought something happened to you!"
Ever since Xu Xiaoyan had an epiphany at the Starwatch Platform, she had been cultivating cross-legged on the ground for several days!
She glanced at Xie Xie, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Xie Xie, how long has it been since my epiphany?"
In addition to feeling tired, she was also overcome with a strong sense of hunger!
Xie Xie paused, and holding up two fingers, he said, "A full two and a half days! It forced us all to stay here in the Skyfixed Star Soul Master Academy!"
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan realized she had caused quite a bit of trouble for everyone and stuck her tongue out playfully, saying, "Hehe, sorry about that!"
After a pause, she then asked curiously, "But why are you the only one here? Where's everyone else?"
Xie Xie propped up his chin and replied, "They are currently battling with other students from the Skyfixed Star Soul Master Academy. By now, they should be returning soon."
Indeed, no sooner had he finished speaking than Gu Yue and the others walked over...
Upon noticing that Xu Xiaoyan was awake, Tang Wulin exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Yan, you're awake?"
Xu Xiaoyan smiled and said, "Yeah, thank you all for these past few days."
Xu Lizhi laughed heartily, "Xiao Yan, what are you talking about? We're companions, we would naturally never leave you behind!"
As he spoke, he didn't forget to make a few buns and hand them over...
Gu Yue echoed, "That's right, since we came here together, we should also leave together!"
Ye Xinglan nodded seriously, "If we simply abandoned a companion and left, that would be cowardly."
However, Xu Xiaoyan's attention was already captured by the fragrant buns in front of her, and after swallowing hard, she began to eat slowly and carefully...
It was only after she finished eating that Gu Yue curiously asked, "Xiao Yan, did you gain anything from this epiphany?"
Tang Wulin and the others also looked at her eagerly, waiting for her response...
Xu Xiaoyan smiled mysteriously and proudly stated, "Of course, my Starwheel Ice Staff underwent purification at the Starwatch Platform and has been stripped of its ice property, now it's a pure Star Staff!"
Xie Xie frowned and said with concern, "But that doesn't sound like a good thing!"
Tang Wulin also expressed his confusion, "Yeah, losing the ice property sounds like a bad thing, right?"
Gu Yue and Ye Xinglan exchanged glances, also seemingly at a loss...
Seeing their reaction, Xu Xiaoyan hastily waved her hands and explained, "No, no, no, you all might have misunderstood. Actually, the ice property in our family's heritage Martial Soul, the Icewheel Star Staff, is strictly speaking just an impurity. Now that these impurities have been removed, my Martial Soul will undergo a qualitative leap!"
"In short, it's a very good outcome!"
Next time she returned to her family, the Elders' attitudes toward her were likely to change dramatically, because her Martial Soul was the purest!
After her explanation, Gu Yue showed a thoughtful expression, "I see, no wonder you're so happy, Xiao Yan. From this perspective, it does seem like good news."
Xie Xie laughed and said, "An improvement in Xiao Yan's strength is good for our entire team. Let's take this opportunity to celebrate today!"
Xu Lizhi, who was a food enthusiast, raised his hands excitedly and said, "Hooray, hooray! I'm going to eat a lot!"
Tang Wulin hesitated, "But we have already been delayed here for so long..."
Gu Yue patted his chest, reassuringly saying, "Haste makes waste. These past few days, we have gained a lot of practical experience! Just relax for a bit!"
Tang Wulin opened his mouth but finally replied with a bitter smile, "Since everyone is saying so, alright then! But as soon as it's morning tomorrow, we must leave this place!"

Inside the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy!
The faces of the dean and every teacher seated there were at the height of ugliness...
They saw the former staring angrily at the swollen-faced Teacher Liu below, reprimanding, "Teacher Liu, what exactly did you three do? Why did you provoke such a massive rage from Shrek Academy?"
It had taken so much effort to redevelop the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy, and now, first thing in the morning, they had received a message from Shrek Academy!
Either deal with the three teachers who had started the fight or wait for Shrek Academy to take action personally!
It was clear that there was no room for negotiation!
The complexion of Teacher Liu was unspeakably ugly as he gritted his teeth and said, "Dean, haven't we at Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy always detested Shrek Academy? They dared to send students to humiliate us, I was only thinking of the academy's reputation!"
The dean fought back the urge to execute him on the spot and said sinisterly, "So you're saying, that's why it was a defeat of seven against two, and an utter defeat at that?"
The other two teachers who had also taken part in the action spoke up to explain, "Dean, it's really not our fault. Those... those two students are abnormally strong; one of them is merely a Soul King but possesses a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, and the other one, though a Soul Ancestor, can unleash Soul Fusion Skills!"
"If we had known they had such formidable strength, we would have rejected them at the door no matter what..."
The dean clearly didn't want to hear their explanations anymore, folding his arms and coldly said, "Hmph! Shrek Academy is now demanding that I eliminate the three of you! Otherwise, they'll act against the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guiding Academy! Tell me, what should I do?"
These fools, not only did they lose the confrontation, but they also tried to execute those two students!
How could students with such a terrifying talent not be protected secretly by their teachers or elders?
Upon hearing this, Teacher Liu and the other two teachers immediately turned pale as death...
They couldn't believe that the great Shrek Academy would actually demand their lives!
Their hearts were filled with intense regret...
One of the teachers suggested, "Dean, why don't we painfully part with some precious items. Maybe we could save Teacher Liu and their lives!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than he was vetoed by the dean...
"It's impossible. Shrek Academy's stance has always been firm. Besides, we don't have anything that would catch their eye."
Another elder narrowed his eyes slightly, "But dean, Teacher Liu and the others have been conscientious and responsible towards the students. If we kill them, it'd be disheartening for everyone, wouldn't it?"
"Since Shrek Academy is intent on wiping us out, we might as well..."
If one were to pay close attention, they would detect a faint evil aura emanating from him...
Obviously, he was no ordinary Soul Master!
