And so, days passed by peacefully...
The members of Shrek Seven Monsters were gathered in the outer courtyard, remaining highly vigilant while casually chatting...
Xie Xie yawned and was the first to speak, "I wonder how Teacher Xu is doing now. If he were still here, the Ghost Emperor would definitely be crushed like a bug!"
Yue Zhengyu nodded in agreement, "Yeah, even the Abyssal Emperor, who is a Divine King, exhausted all his strength and couldn't defeat Teacher Xu, only resorting to such despicable means to involve him in the past!"
"For Teacher Xu, killing this newly-advanced God Rank Ghost Emperor would be a piece of cake!"
In his mind, Xu Sheng was the strongest!
Yuanen Yehui showed a hint of regret, "But the reality is that Teacher Xu has not returned, he must have encountered some thorny problems!"
Returning to tens of thousands of years in the past, his strength might have weakened, perhaps he might not have even broken through to the God Rank!
Dealing with the Abyssal Emperor definitely wouldn't be simple!
Xu Xiaoyan spoke with complete trust, "I don't see it that way, who's to say it was the Abyssal Emperor who took Teacher Xu back to the past, and not vice versa?"
"Perhaps, Teacher Xu just wanted to resolve the situation in the past, so that it wouldn't affect the present!"
Ye Xinglan propped up her chin, pondering, "Hmm... Xiao Yan's theory makes sense, we can't rule out that possibility!"
"After all, no matter how you look at it, the Abyssal Emperor is a Divine King; if he wanted to destroy himself along with this plane, he surely could have done it!"
As everyone was talking, they noticed Tang Wulin was standing to the side, silent and lost in thought...
Xie Xie waved his hand in front of Tang Wulin's eyes, "Wulin, what are you thinking about?"
Tang Wulin snapped back to reality, his gaze serious, "I just have this feeling that Teacher Xu might have anticipated being involved in the past by the Abyssal Emperor!"
Yue Zhengyu asked curiously, "Wulin, why do you say that?"
Tang Wulin looked at everyone, "Not to hide anything from you all, in the previous battle, I was close to perishing."
"However, I discovered that my consciousness didn't dissipate and a powerful Life Force burst forth inside me, repairing my body!"
Yuanen Yehui's Beautiful Eyes brightened, "Wulin, are you suggesting that this Life Force could have been deliberately left by Teacher Xu?"
Tang Wulin confirmed, "Yes! I have also experienced Elder Ya'li's Life Force, but it's not on the same level as Teacher Xu's at all!"
He paused, as if something suddenly occurred to him, and said eagerly, "Right, everyone should also try sensing deep within your bodies, maybe Teacher Xu left a trace of Life Force in you too!"
Everyone looked at each other upon hearing this...
Only Xie Xie coughed and said, "You guys give it a try, I don't need to!"
If he had Life Force within him, he wouldn't have died in the first place!
At his words, the rest did as Tang Wulin said, unleashing their spiritual power to sense every part of their bodies...
After a long while, they all shook their heads...
Tang Wulin scratched his head awkwardly, "That... that's how it is, it seems that this Life Force wasn't left by Teacher Xu after all!"
If it were Teacher Xu, he definitely would have helped everyone, not just himself!
Seeing Tang Wulin's troubled expression, Yue Zhengyu patted his shoulder, "Wulin, don't overthink it. No matter whose Life Force it is, the fact that it saved your life is a good thing!"
Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment, then he agreed, "Yeah, Zheng Yu, you're right!"
Just then, Cai Yue'er, who happened to be passing by, saw them and immediately walked over...
He chuckled and said, "Everyone is here, just in time. I have something to tell you!"
"After this period of adjustment, the inner court students have gradually adapted to the position of teacher and can completely instruct the students of the outer courtyard."
"That is to say, I personally plan to have the teachers from the federation return and no longer stay at the academy."
Xie Xie raised an eyebrow, "Elder Cai, you must be considering that among these teachers from the federation, there are those with ulterior motives, right? But is it really okay to send away so many teachers all at once? Are you sure there won't be any problems?"
Ye Xinglan immediately interrupted, "Xie Xie, there's no need to ask such questions. Since Elder Cai has mentioned it, it's definitely after thorough analysis!"
Yue Zhengyu raised both hands, "I think it's feasible. After all, having these teachers from the federation stay in the academy means we always have to watch over the outer courtyard, which is really troublesome!"
Xu Xiaoyan also echoed, "Although it's a pity to lose so many excellent teachers, if it's Elder Cai's suggestion, I agree as well!"
Having heard everyone's opinions, Tang Wulin looked at Cai Yue'er and nodded, "Elder Cai, let's do as you say. If Shrek Academy wants to rise, it must rely on itself!"
Cai Yue'er slightly nodded, her gaze revealing a trace of complexity, "Wulin, your character is exactly like Yun Ming's."
He remembered Yun Ming had once said the same!
…
Afterward, Cai Yue'er also decisively gathered all the teachers from the federation…
Everyone looked at her with puzzled faces, waiting for her reply…
Cai Yue'er took a deep breath and spoke with a tone of gratitude, "Teachers from the federation, thank you for your selfless dedication to the students of the outer courtyard during this time. This kindness will always be remembered by Shrek Academy!"
As soon as these words were said, the teachers from the federation also realized something…
They spoke one after another, "What are you talking about, Elder Cai? It's our honor to be able to teach so many outstanding children!"
"That's right, if Shrek Academy doesn't mind, I'm willing to stay here forever to teach the children."
"I feel the same. Having been here for so long, I've grown quite fond of the children. Even without a salary, I want to continue."
Cai Yue'er's gaze did not waver at their words as she spoke again, "I am aware of your sentiments, teachers. Here, on behalf of Shrek Academy, I thank you again."
"However, as of yesterday, after careful consideration by the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, it was decided to have all the teachers return to the federation!"
"Because there is where you truly belong!"
In an instant, the expressions of most of the teachers from the federation changed dramatically...
Although they had anticipated it, they had not expected it to be true!
"Elder Cai, what do you mean by that? We came to Shrek Academy voluntarily; there's no need to worry about other things!"
"That's right. If I can stay and teach at Shrek Academy, I'm even willing to leave the federation!"
"I may be too certain in saying this, but apart from Shrek Academy, there's nowhere else I want to go!"
Only those who have personally taught these outstanding children of Shrek Academy would know why it's called the first academy on the Continent!
The gap between it and other academies is not a small one!
