61: Chapter 61 Little Seven, Daddy's Here!

Three days later.

The members of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy Team gathered at the academy entrance.

"Today, we set off for Star Luo City in the Star Luo Empire. Do you have the confidence to win the championship for the academy?" Elder Ma asked in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Everyone replied in unison.

It must be known that although the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy has been the runner-up for ten thousand years, it is not something others can easily shake.

Except for Shrek Academy, they had never lost to any other academy.

With confidence in their inevitable victory, the group set off on the road to the Star Luo Empire.

At the same time, the Shrek Academy team had already received the mission assigned by the Duke of White Tiger near the Mingdou Mountain Range.

It was still the same Death God Envoy as in the original story.

"The Duke is really something, making so many of us come together for a mere Spirit King."

Ma Xiaotao complained on the way to the Death God Envoy's dwelling.

"Alright, Sister Xiaotao, calm down. We still have to participate in the tournament after completing the mission."

Xu Sanshi acted as the peacemaker, soothing everyone's emotions.

This time, Huo Yuhao, although lacking the powerful Ultimate Ice Spirit from the Ice Empress, still became a member of the Shrek Seven Devils reserve team by relying on his twin spirits and decent spiritual attributes.

He and Wang Dong were still roommates, and under Tang San's secret manipulation, the two still possessed a Spirit Fusion Skill, though not four, but only one: Golden Road.

The Shrek group rushed to the mountain range and discovered the Death God Envoy just like in the original story.

It was still the missing Supreme Elder, and still the sudden, unexpected massive explosion; everything seemed to be developing according to the trajectory of the original story.

Yao Haoxuan was killed in the explosion on the spot, and the Shrek Seven Devils were all severely injured.

Amidst the wailing, the Death God Envoy once again chose to snatch someone away as a human shield.

This time, without the Necromantic Holy Law God, Undead Disaster Electrolux, Huo Yuhao faced an almost certain death situation against the Death God Envoy.

Perhaps due to the plane's consciousness protecting the Child of Destiny, this time, the Death God Envoy rushed towards Wang Dong.

He grabbed Wang Dong and fled through his secret passage.

Xuanzi, who arrived, was in his Spirit-activated state, but one could still detect a faint scent of alcohol.

"Dammit! Dammit!"

Xuanzi's angry roar echoed throughout the entire cave.

Huo Yuhao was already unconscious on the side, completely unaware that his good roommate had been taken away.

At the end of the passage was a dark little forest.

The Death God Envoy looked at Wang Dong in his hand, and a strange, cackling laughter burst from his mouth.

"You have such delicate skin and tender flesh. If I can possess your body, this Envoy can live another life!"

Wang Dong looked at him angrily: "Bastard, if you dare to touch me, you will regret it!"

His meridians were completely sealed at this moment, making it impossible for him to resist. Even if they weren't sealed, given his current strength, he was no match for the Spirit King-level Death God Envoy.

"Hehe, your talent is quite good, little one. Although this method of possession will consume some of your talent, it's the only way. When the time comes, this Envoy will use your identity to continue staying at Shrek Academy, hehehe!"

While laughing strangely, he stretched out a withered palm, black mist condensing in his palm, and reached towards Wang Dong's forehead.

"What a wonderful body, it is this Envoy's now!"

Amidst his ferocious cries, that withered palm pressed against Wang Dong's forehead.

Just as the black mist touched his forehead, a beam of intensely rich blue-gold light erupted from Wang Dong's forehead.

"Ah!!!"

The Death God Envoy was instantly struck as if by a heavy blow and flew backwards.

Wang Dong had lost consciousness, but his entire body was slowly floating up.

In his spiritual sea, a cerulean figure appeared, and a solemn voice echoed throughout his spiritual sea: "Xiao Qi, Daddy is here!"

The "Wang Dong" at this moment exuded an indescribable, inviolable aura from head to toe.

"Wang Dong" opened his eyes, looking at the Death God Envoy before him with an indifferent expression.

"You, who exactly are you?!"

Feeling the terrifying pressure from the other side, the Death God Envoy felt as if he could barely breathe, his heart filled with extreme fear.

"The dead don't need to know so much!"

At "Wang Dong"'s forehead, a golden trident mark lit up, and subsequently, a trident emitting golden light appeared in his hand.

"Wang Dong" held the trident and casually waved it forward.

A golden ring flew out, enveloping the Death God Envoy within it.

"Ah!!!"

Accompanied by a series of shrill screams, black smoke emerged from the Death God Envoy's eyes, and his soul was burning.

In the blink of an eye, he turned into a mere husk.

"Wang Dong" looked at that husk and snorted coldly.

A cluster of blue-gold flames emerged from his palm, flew towards the husk, and burned it to ashes.

After finishing all this, Wang Dong fell back to the ground and lapsed into a deep sleep.

Not long after, Xuanzi arrived late.

Seeing that Wang Dong was unharmed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He picked up Wang Dong, checked his body, and after finding nothing unusual, he took him back.

This accident dealt a huge blow to the Shrek Academy team, just like in the original story; for the first half of the tournament, they could only rely on the reserve team to compete.

...

"Wow, so this is Star Luo City, how beautiful!"

Looking at the bustling streets before her, Meng Hongchen said in surprise.

As the capital of the Star Luo Empire, the prosperity of Star Luo City went without saying; after all, this city represented the face of the Star Luo Empire.

Unlike the technological feel of Mingdu, Star Luo City retained more of the architectural style from ten thousand years ago. There weren't many high-rise buildings, and it looked antique and elegant, making people feel very comfortable.

"Let's go, Qingci, accompany me for a stroll. Guyi, do you want to come along?"

Seeing the various large and small vendors on the street, as well as the colorful shops along the roadside, Meng Hongchen couldn't help but want to look around.

Ye Guyi looked at Mu Qingci.

Mu Qingci nodded: "I'm fine with it. Anyway, the competition is still a few days away, so there's no rush."

Seeing Mu Qingci agree, Ye Guyi also nodded.

The image of her taking the initiative to kiss Mu Qingci that day was still in her mind, and her gaze towards Mu Qingci always carried a strange sentiment.

The three of them walked into a jewelry shop, and the shop owner was a middle-aged woman who looked very refined.

"What would you three little customers like?"

She greeted them very enthusiastically, and the scent of her perfume made Mu Qingci feel a bit pungent.

Mu Qingci took two steps back: "You two can choose whatever you want, I'll just pay for it."

Mu Qingci had no interest in these kinds of jewelry.

Ye Guyi and Meng Hongchen were different; after all, they were still young girls with budding romantic feelings, and they had absolutely no resistance to such sparkling jewelry.

Hearing Mu Qingci generously say that he would pay the bill, even the usually composed Ye Guyi couldn't help but want to pick out a few more pieces.
