Chapter 529 – Envy
TL : GoldenLung
“En.” Lan Xuanyu nodded his head. Lan Mengqin, who was at the side, was already restless and couldn’t take it anymore. She looked at the Emerald Swan in the distance with her big eyes, with twinkling little stars.
As time pa.s.sed, more people returned. There were some successes, but most of them were not chosen by the soul beasts. The success rate was relatively low and it seemed like it was only 10% at most.
In fact, the success rate should not have been so low, but many powerful soul beasts had gone over to Lan Xuanyu’s side. With this, the probability of the other factions being chosen was naturally much lower.
When the youths from the Tang Sect, War G.o.d Hall, and Spirit PaG.o.da returned to their starting point and saw the dense ma.s.s of soul beasts at Shrek Academy’s side, their eyes widened.
Not to mention them, even the Inner Court disciples of Shrek Academy were shocked when they saw this scene.
It had to be said that the Inner Court disciples of Shrek Academy were definitely the strongest and most promising soul masters among those that came here to obtain Spirit Souls, so their success rate was also the highest. But even so, with a success rate of about 40%, more than half of them were not chosen by any soul beasts.
But looking at the first years of the Outer Court, what was going on? 80%? No, 90%. It seemed like everyone got a Spirit Soul!
Heavens! What was that? Such a huge Tree Snake? That was a ten thousand-year Thorn Dragon? Why couldn’t they recognize that bird in the sky?
Those powerful soul beasts were crawling around the first years. Many of them didn’t look like they were in their final years and had no choice but to become Spirit Souls !
In an instant, the first years of Shrek Academy’s Outer Court became the center of attention.
Although w.a.n.g Tianyu didn’t know why this happened, it didn’t change his good mood at all!
He looked at the little kittens brought back by the Tang Sect, the Spirit PaG.o.da, the War G.o.d Temple, and the other forces. Then, he looked at the “strong” troops on his side. His usually stern face was filled with a smile at this moment. There was no need to talk about that smug look, it was all on his face.
When Bai Lingshuang saw that there were only four soul beasts brought back by her disciples, she finally couldn’t help but ask the Emerald Swan, “Senior Bi Ji, did something unfair happen? Why are there so few of us and so many in Shrek? It’s fine if it’s their Inner Court, but aren’t the Outer Court disciples just there as bystanders? Why is their success rate so high? Also, some beasts don’t even need to become a Spirit soul, right?”
Bi Ji looked at the first years calmly and said, “I’m not sure what exactly happened. The Reclining Garden is the most important place in the world of soul beasts. Not to mention me, even Beast G.o.d doesn’t have the ability to control this place. This is our final destination. Even if there is an opportunity, it is their own opportunity that they encountered. This is the same for everyone.”
Bai Lingshuang frowned. “But isn’t this situation too unique?”
Bi Ji had a strange expression on her face. She really didn’t know what happened. She obviously saw Lan Xuanyu’s situation. Compared to the humans present, she was the most surprised, alright?
Forget about the other soul beasts, why did the Yin Yang Chaos Bird appear as well? One had to know that the Yin Yang Chaos Bird was related to the balance of Yin and Yang in the world of soul beasts. There would only be one and the Beast G.o.d had gone through a lot of hards.h.i.+ps to allow it to be born again. For this Yin Yang Chaos Bird, he had even invited a mighty expert from another Soul Beast Planet to a.s.sist him. It was all for the sake of allowing the new generation after the Beast G.o.d’s departure to better manage the world of soul beasts, allowing thus the Soul Beast World to remain stable and strong.
But what was going on? The Yin Yang Chaos Bird had actually come to the Reclining Garden at some point and even chose a human to become a human’s Spirit Soul ?
She couldn’t make a decision on this matter and had to seek permission from Beast G.o.d. The Yin Yang Chaos Bird was one of the important soul beasts that were definitely not allowed to become a Spirit Soul ! It was a member of the new generation of Great Beasts and would definitely break through to a one hundred thousand-year cultivation base in the future, and it wouldn’t take too long.
How could she have known that those little brats in their teens would have their eyes on her, let alone the Yin Yang Chaos Bird?
Finally, everyone returned and looked at the imbalance between the different factions. Other than w.a.n.g Tianyu, who was full of himself, the others had ugly expressions. Even Tang Miao, who had a good relations.h.i.+p with w.a.n.g Tianyu, had a bitter smile on his face. The Tang Sect’s gains were not much either, they had only gained one more soul beast’s approval than the Spirit PaG.o.da.
“Cla.s.s leader, aren’t we too conspicuous?” Ding Zhuohan whispered to Lan Xuanyu.
Lan Xuanyu: “What is it?”
Ding Zhuohan looked around at the unfriendly gazes. “Do you think they will retaliate against us in the future?”
Lan Xuanyu said leisurely, “They would need to know us for that ! Our average age is 13 years old. After a few years, everyone will grow up and look different…”
Ding Zhuohan stared at him in shock. “That works too?”
Lan Xuanyu looked at him and blinked. “Can’t it ?”
Ding Zhuohan looked at him blankly. “Cla.s.s leader, I think what you said makes sense, I can’t refute it.”
Lan Xuanyu waved his hand. “Line up properly, don’t make us the first-years’ might lose face.”
That’s right, the first years were indeed very impressive. Although they had used someone else attractiveness, they were still the most eye-catching.
“Senior Bi Ji, can we begin the fusion ceremony?” w.a.n.g Tianyu asked the Emerald Swan with a smile.
In the past ten years, he had never laughed as much as he did today! If not for maintaining a basic friends.h.i.+p with the other parties, he would have burst out laughing.
This batch of first years from the Outer Court were outstanding and united. Being able to defeat all of the Outer Court and stand out here was already very helpful for their growth. Almost everyone had a ten thousand-year Spirit Soul now, so one could only imagine the future growth of this batch of children. They would definitely become the strongest cla.s.s in Shrek Academy’s history for the next few decades! Shrek Academy could foresee a batch of outstanding students. As the Vice Pavilion Master of the Sea G.o.d Pavilion, how could he not be happy?
He was about to crush his peers! The Dean of the Outer Court was his direct disciple. Although he felt that Ying Luohong didn’t do anything, who was to say that she was lucky?
Bi Ji looked at the Yin Yang Chaos Bird hovering above the first years and coughed. “Please wait for a moment, everyone. As the number of clansmen chosen from the Reclining Garden this time is relatively large, I will have to discuss it with the elders before holding the ceremony. But please rest a.s.sured, we will definitely abide by the rules.”
After saying that, Bi Ji nodded to everyone and soared into the sky. A pair of gigantic jade green wings spread out behind her and the entire sky seemed to turn jade green in that instant. In the next moment, the jade green color gathered in one direction and disappeared along with the color. The Emerald Swan had disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this scene, Lan Mengqin’s eyes were filled with splendor! So beautiful! A phoenix, that was a pair of phoenix wings, right? Even with her strongest Martial Soul Fusion skill, Ice Phoenix Dance, the spread of her wings was far from comparable to the Emerald Swan! If she could really become her Spirit Soul, wouldn’t it be too beautiful!
The Emerald Swan left and the att.i.tude of the few human mighty figures changed instantly.
Yang Hui looked at w.a.n.g Tianyu threateningly. “Old w.a.n.g, what exactly did you guys do? Did you guys come to an agreement with the soul beasts?”
