Chapter 540 Ya-Li's astonishment and the tragic story of Hsu Li-Chih!
"Tap tap tap!"
The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor of the Sea God Pavilion, and a graceful figure, imbued with the power of life, slowly walked past Chen Xinjie's cultivation room.
"What's going on? Why is that chilling aura emanating from the cultivation room?!"
Looking at the training room before her with her blue eyes, Ya Li frowned slightly.
These past few days, she's felt that something's off about Chen Xinjie, and the commotion caused by his cultivation is also quite bizarre, giving her a strange feeling that she can't quite explain.
Even her Prayer Angel martial spirit felt inexplicably disgusted by an aura emanating from Chen Xinjie, whereas originally her martial spirit hadn't felt this aversion towards him.
"Could it be that Chen Xinjie has gotten into trouble?"
Ya Li murmured to herself. She didn't care about Chen Xinjie himself, but at her level, all omens made sense. She was terrified that Chen Xinjie would become a ticking time bomb.
"Yali, what are you doing here?"
Just then, an old voice rang out from not far away, and Ya Li saw Long Yeyue walking towards her.
When Ya Li saw Long Yeyue, her brows furrowed even more deeply. Since Long Yeyue became the master of the Sea God Pavilion, she had not seen him revitalize Shrek Academy, but she knew very well that he had been depleting Shrek Academy's resources.
Those War Gods from Shrek Academy who graduated from the Temple of War have now been banished to the Abyss Passage because of the Eternal Heaven incident. Some councilors in the Federation who are associated with Shrek Academy have also begun to be gradually purged by Dong Zian.
Shrek Academy is still essentially an academy, and every student who leaves Shrek Academy is a valuable resource of interpersonal relationships for the academy.
If all the students from Shrek Academy are eliminated, then Shrek Academy will have truly suffered a blow to its foundation.
But soon, Yali shook her head slightly. Ever since she learned what had happened last time, her heart had no longer been with Shrek Academy. Whatever the future held for Shrek Academy was no longer her concern.
However, out of consideration for their past relationship, Ya-li still greeted her, "Sister Yue—"
"This is the Sea God's Pavilion, and I am now in charge of this position!"
Upon hearing this, Long Yeyue frowned instantly, her tone filled with displeasure.
Even now, Ya Li still refuses to address her as the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion.
A hint of disbelief flashed in Ya Libi's eyes, as if she hadn't expected Long Yeyue to say that.
Recalling Chen Xinjie's strange behavior over the past few days, Ya Li still asked, "Sect Master Long, will something happen to the Vast Ocean Douluo inside?"
Upon hearing this, Long Yeyue's eyes flickered slightly, and then she said impatiently, "What kind of accident could happen to him? As an elder of the Sea God Pavilion, you should think more about the development of Shrek Academy, instead of focusing on these things."
The future of Shrek Academy rests on my shoulders; you should share some of that burden.
Seeing Long Yeyue say this, Ya Li couldn't help but feel a spark of anger even though she was in a good mood.
Throughout Shrek Academy, everyone can say they are good for Shrek, but Long Yeyue is the only one who has no right to say so.
After all, when bombarded by the god-killing fixed-position soul-guided cannon, the other elders and teachers all chose to sacrifice themselves, and only Long Yeyue was the fastest to run away.
"Since Pavilion Master Long has said so, then Ya Li will no longer concern herself with matters here."
Seeing this, a rare coldness appeared in Yali's eyes, and she immediately headed out of the Sea God Pavilion.
"This is not something you can get involved in—"
Watching Ya Li's departing figure, Long Yeyue's eyes darkened instantly, and a subtle emotion appeared when she looked at the training room behind her.
As the person closest to Chen Xinjie, how could she not have sensed the changes in him?
However, considering the origin and rumors surrounding this piece of the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal, she had a vague guess in her heart.
In her view, the feedback from the Hanhai Qiankun Crystal to Chen Xinjie was not a normal thing, nor was it a kind of inheritance. Rather, it was as if an invisible force was forcibly pouring power into Chen Xinjie's body.
Chen Xinjie also told him that after each feeding session ended, some unfamiliar memories would appear in his mind.
Although her cultivation level was not the highest, her premonitions of death and danger were extremely accurate.
Furthermore, Chen Xinjie comes from the Sea God family, which is closely related to the Sea God.
"If what I suspect is true, could this be a safeguard left to Shrek Academy by our ancestor Tang San, the Sea God, before he disappeared from the God Realm?"
"What will Chen Xinjie become after all the power is poured into his body?"
"However, no matter what, as long as Chen Xinjie can break through to the god level, I can have her lead me to godhood as well—"
Long Yeyue's mind was in turmoil, which was why she didn't tell Chen Xinjie.
Chen Xinjie, below the god level, can't help her; at most, he can help her temporarily restore her damaged essence. But after becoming a god, Chen Xinjie will have infinite possibilities.
Perhaps her Dark Boar Martial Soul can transform back into the Dark Holy Dragon —
"It's coming soon, that day will arrive very soon—"
Feeling the increasingly powerful aura in the training room, Long Yeyue's lips curled up slightly.
Outside the main body.
A graceful figure dressed in a star-studded robe stood before the Body Sect, like a sharp sword with its edge fully exposed. Her azure eyes were calm, but there was a hint of expectation in them, and she would occasionally glance around.
Around the corner, a fat figure was hiding in the shadows.
"Sister Xinglan actually came out? Was she waiting for me on purpose?"
Xu Lizhi's eyes gleamed with excitement as he thought to himself.
After being thwarted twice at Devil Island and the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he learned that there was no way to improve his combat power through external means, but he still couldn't let go of his sister Xinglan.
This time, I especially wanted to see how Ye Xinglan was doing lately.
But to his surprise, as soon as he arrived outside the Body Sect, he saw Ye Xinglan also guarding the Body Sect.
"Could this be the legendary telepathy?"
Xu Lizhi thought to himself.
"No, we can't keep Sister Xinglan in the Body Sect any longer, otherwise she'll end up like Jiang Xiu!"
The next moment, Xu Lizhi seemed to have made up his mind, and then prepared to step out of the darkness.
But just then, a tall and straight figure slowly walked over from a distance.
Upon seeing that figure, Ye Xinglan's azure eyes lit up instantly, and she strode forward with her long legs to meet the figure head-on.
"Jiang Xiu, you're back—"
Ye Xinglan walked up to the figure, her delicate hands slightly nervously placed behind her back. Her expression showed both the pride of a swordswoman and the excitement of seeing Jiang Xiu.
Upon witnessing this scene, Xu Lizhi, who had just taken a step, froze, his face instantly becoming blank.
So it turns out his Xinglan sister wasn't waiting for him.
"Why aren't you home yet, it's so late?"
Jiang Xiu looked at the girl in front of him, raised an eyebrow slightly, and at the same time glanced at the dark corner not far away.
"I heard from Wu Siduo that you were coming back today, so I waited for you here."
Ye Xinglan said coolly, but her tone still carried a hint of excitement.
"Wu Siduo? What if he guesses wrong?"
Jiang Xiu chuckled lightly.
After a moment's thought, Ye Xinglan said firmly, "Then I'll keep waiting."
"Oh? Why is that?" Jiang Xiu asked, puzzled.
Xu Lizhi, who was in the distance, also quickly pricked up his ears.
"Because—because—"
Ye Xinglan hesitated for a moment, her eyes darting around but also resolute, before saying, "Because you haven't trained me in a long time!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Lizhi, who was standing some distance away, froze instantly.
His sister Xinglan actually volunteered to train with him!
"No!"
Xu Lizhi screamed inwardly.
At this moment, Ye Xinglan continued speaking, her tone even becoming more hurried.
"You haven't returned for more than half a year since you went to the Star Luo Empire, and no one has tested my progress during this time."
"Alright, then tomorrow I'll give you a good workout and see how much you've accomplished in the past six months." Jiang Xiu nodded slightly upon seeing this.
"Okay!" Upon hearing this, Ye Xinglan's breathing became even more rapid, and she was even slightly excited.
Every time Jiang Xiu trains her, she not only gains improved combat strength, but also receives encouragement!
"So this is what training is like—"
Upon hearing this, Xu Lizhi breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's getting late, let's go back first," Jiang Xiu said softly.
Ye Xinglan had no objection to this, and then prepared to return to the Body Sect with Jiang Xiu.
Upon witnessing this scene, Xu Lizhi could no longer restrain himself. His Xinglan sister absolutely could not stay at the Body Sect any longer; he had to bring her back to Shrek Academy.
Immediately, Xu Lizhi strode out of the darkness.
