Chapter 690 - Joining Confirmed

690 – Joining Confirmed

Tang Miao: “Alright, that’s it, I won’t keep you guys any longer. Deng Bo, help me send them off.”

Even after leaving the Tang Sect and getting into the car under Deng Bo’s resentful gaze, Lan Xuanyu still felt that it was unrealistic.

“Xiuxiu, what do you think?” Lan Xuanyu turned his head and asked Bai Xiuxiu.

Bai Xiuxiu pondered as she spoke, “I think the Tang Sect thinks highly of us. This seems to be an investment towards us.”

Lan Xuanyu’s heart stirred. That’s right! He had the same feeling.

“Investment, huh? It seems like they think that we will definitely be able to enter the Inner Court. To be honest, I really want to go to the Inner Court earlier to see what it is like and why all the external forces hold such high praises towards it.”

Bai Xiuxiu smiled. “We will definitely be able to enter the Inner Court.”

“En.” Lan Xuanyu was very confident about this.

After returning to the academy, Lan Xuanyu didn’t go and share the gains from the trip to the Tang Sect with his teammates. Instead, he went straight to Tang Zhenhua and asked the teacher if they could agree to Tang Miao’s terms.

After listening to his explanation, Tang Zhenhua gave a definite answer. Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect were indeed very close.

“Do you know why the Tang Sect extended an olive branch to you?” Tang Zhenhua suddenly laughed.

“Why?” Lan Xuanyu asked doubtfully.

Tang Zhenhua pointed at the Ring of Fate in his hand. “Because of this.”

“Ring of Fate?” Lan Xuanyu suddenly thought of something. “You mean…”

Tang Zhenhua said, “Don’t underestimate the influence of the School of Life in Shrek or the entire Federation. If the outside world finds out that you will be the next successor of the School of Life, you will receive the highest respect no matter where you go. The School of Life doesn’t just represent your group, it represents the highest level of life research and the Eternal Tree, the highest life form there is. In a sense, you are the inheritor of the Eternal Tree.”

Lan Xuanyu said thoughtfully, “So what you’re saying is that the Tang Sect wishes to express goodwill to the School of Life through funding?”

Tang Zhenhua said, “You can put it that way, but it’s not complete yet. To the Tang Sect, this is killing two birds with one stone. At the same time, they have taken a liking to the potential of the few of you. I can foresee that all of you will definitely be outstanding talents in Shrek in the future and might even be strong competitors for the next generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters. If all of you can really become the new generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters, then the Tang Sect will have really won the jackpot.”

“Shrek Seven Monsters?” Lan Xuanyu had obviously heard of this name before. Only the strongest students of Shrek Academy who had made outstanding contributions to the academy could have such a title.

The first generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters was led by the founder of the Tang Sect, Tang San. For example, the Dragon King Douluo in Shrek Square was once the leader of his generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters. There was also the Spirit Pagoda’s founder, Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, who was also one of the Shrek Seven Monsters of his generation. One could only imagine the lofty status of the Shrek Seven Monsters in the entire Federation.

However, this title was rarely given even in Shrek Academy. Not every generation had the Seven Monsters and only those extremely outstanding existences could become one of them.

The Shrek Seven Monsters could only belong to Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect. Every generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters could be said to be the representative of Shrek’s glory and also the hero of Shrek Academy.

“Teacher, are the Shrek Seven Monsters currently there now?” Lan Xuanyu asked curiously, and his eyes became excited. Tang Zhenhua actually said that they were qualified to fight for the title of the next generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters. How could he not be excited?

It was the Shrek Seven Monsters!

If he had to choose between all the glory titles in the Federation, it would undoubtedly be the Shrek Seven Monsters. This was even more desirable than the highest medals issued by the Federation’s government. This was also the highest title in the entire world of soul masters.

For example, the 18 War Gods of the War God Hall and the nine Heavenly Spirits of the Spirit Pagoda. These titles evolved from the Shrek Seven Monsters, but in fact, they had never reached the same level as the Shrek Seven Monsters.

“Yes!” Tang Zhenhua smiled as his eyes lit up.

“They are there ?” Lan Xuanyu was immediately excited. “Who are they? Are they in our academy? Have I seen them before?”

“You’ve met two of them,” Tang Zhenhua said.

Lan Xuanyu’s eyes widened. “Could it be you and Dean Ying? Or is it Teacher Tang Yue? It can’t be Teacher Xiao Qi, right?”

Tang Zhenhua rolled his eyes and said, “How is that possible? How are we qualified to be the Shrek Seven Monsters! Of the two people you’ve met, one is our Sea God Pavilion’s Vice Pavilion Master, Pavilion Master Wang. The other one is the Vice Hall Master of the Tang Sect’s Douluo Hall, Tang Miao, whom you just met today. Ever since our Eternal Tree evolved, Shrek has an unwritten rule that the Seven Monsters must be at the god rank. Without a god rank cultivation, you’re not qualified to compete for the title.”

Lan Xuanyu cried out, “Does that mean that our Shrek Academy has seven god-rank powerhouses now?”

Tang Zhenhua said, “I can’t tell you this, it’s a secret of the academy. Also, some of the Seven Monsters are also in the Tang Sect, such as senior Tang Miao.”

Lan Xuanyu couldn’t help but laugh. “You’ve already told me a lot! At least our Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect have at least seven god-rank powerhouses, right?”

Tang Zhenhua said, “Don’t spout nonsense to the public. Four of the current Seven Monsters are in Shrek City, and I don’t know what the other three are doing. They might be on some mission, or they might be in a high position in the Sky Fighter Division.”

Lan Xuanyu said, “Who is the current leader of the Shrek Seven Monsters? Can I know his name or title?”

“No. At the very least, you can only find out after you enter the Inner Court,” Tang Zhenhua said seriously.

A hint of yearning flashed across Lan Xuanyu’s eyes. That was the Shrek Seven Monsters! Was it really possible for him to compete for the position of one of the Seven Monsters?

“Don’t think too far ahead, you’re only at four-ring right now.” Tang Zhenhua was not stingy with his disciple.

How could he not hope for Lan Xuanyu to become one of the Shrek Seven Monsters in the future? If that was the case, he would be a Shrek Seven Monster’s teacher. What could be more wonderful than this?

However, Lan Xuanyu was still too weak and only had four rings. It would not be easy for him to break through and become a god in the future. He still had a long way to go.

“So, Teacher, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to join the Tang Sect, right? I’ll go back and inform my teammates. We’ll join the Tang Sect as soon as possible and continue with the Sky Fighter missions. Comparatively speaking, completing a team mission should bring us more benefits.”

Tang Zhenhua nodded his head slightly. “Yes, but you must be careful. The Tang Sect will provide you with resources, but they will never provide you with any assistance in completing the mission. Don’t forget your previous lesson. A Sky Fighter mission is a real battle, you must be careful.”

“Yes, I understand. Don’t worry,” Lan Xuanyu said seriously.

The rest of the process was simple. He contacted his partners and confirmed the matter of joining the Tang Sect. In order not to let the other students in the class hold any grudges, Lan Xuanyu simply didn’t tell anyone else and only informed Lan Mengqin, Qian Lei, Liu Feng, Tang Yuge, and Yuanen Huihui. They joined first and enjoyed the treatment from the Tang Sect. After the Inner Court exam, they would invite the students who managed to get into the Inner Court to join the Tang Sect and enjoy the same treatment. This was what he thought was the best way to do it now. It wouldn’t bring any unnecessary trouble to the students and he didn’t need them to bear the responsibility. That would allow them to enjoy the Tang Sect’s support.
