--- Chapter 241 ---

Bright Spirit City.

A few hours after the first round of the continental tournament, the Shrek Academy immediately became famous because one member abruptly poisoned the entire stage to pass through elimination.

The referee, Liu Erlong, stated there was nothing wrong with that one member\'s move because he didn\'t violate any rules, but the other contestant still found this act despicable and not very sportive.

Even though they couldn\'t do much about it because the Shrek Academy passed with the other team to the next round, this despicable team already got a bad image in their hearts.

The news flew so fast because such an event clearly piqued everyone\'s interest. Every civilian in the Bright Spirit City couldn\'t help but gossip about this, especially some curious neighborhood housewife.

There is no such thing as caste in this city, so people swiftly dug information from the audience.

"Hey... Is that?" A civilian suddenly asked while observing the Shrek Seven Devils, who confidently walked on the street with a calm expression.

The other civilians moved their gazes to a bunch of youngsters, which caused them to frown immediately. They didn\'t expect Shrek Academy\'s disciples would be this young.

"They are so young, yet they already have such a thing." An elder woman sighed while shaking her head. "I hope the future won\'t be that dark."

The Shrek Seven Devils heard their gibberish with a weird expression but didn\'t really mind it except Oscar and Ma Hongjun, who glared intently at those civilians.

"Hey, don\'t talk bad about-." Ma Hongjun was about to shout at the civilians, but his sister quickly slapped his head.

"Don\'t be an idiot." Ma Xiaotao said while releasing a sigh. "Shouting at them won\'t help but will make us looks worse instead."

"We should calmly handle this matter first, Tang San." She added, to which Tang San responded with a nod.

"I shouldn\'t make such a drastic move to be honest, but we were so close in time at that moment." Tang San shook his head wryly because he didn\'t expect them to be in this kind of situation.

"Well, it doesn\'t really matter anymore." Dai Mubia lightly tapped Tang San\'s shoulder to cheer him up. "We only have to win, right."

"Mhm... That\'s true." Ning Rongrong quickly nodded her head at Dai Mubai\'s statement.

They chuckled for a moment but suddenly realized Xiao Wu had been quiet since they walked out of the arena. She hasn\'t opened her mouth for hours, which caused Tang San to frown inside.

"Xiao Wu, are you okay?" Tang San worriedly asked, to which Xiao Wu responded with a nod.

"I\'m fine." Xiao Wu smiled a little. "I just felt a little weird after sensing that holy son of the spirit hall\'s aura."

"What do you mean?" Oscar entered the conversation with a curious expression.

Xiao Wu heavily sighed and solemnly answered, "He\'s dangerous, I\'m not sure in what way, but I have never felt such a huge amount of intimidation like that before."

"Even if we compared him to the senior sword?" Oscar questioned because Sword Douluo was probably the strongest person he had ever seen in his life.

Xiao Wu\'s expression gradually was grimaced because she remembered that Sword Douluo knew her secret identity.

However, even after Xiao Wu knew how powerful Sword Douluo was, she couldn\'t help but be more anxious because that silver-haired young man\'s aura was something she had never felt before.

It was something monstrous and beastly, enough to make her blood freeze in fear.

"There there, calm down." Tang San gently patted Xiao Wu\'s head, which gradually soothed her.

"Let\'s go back to our inn." He continued, to which the rest of the team responded with firm nods.

They have to rest and recover their stamina for tomorrow because the second round certainly was full of powerful teams.

Tang San suddenly felt weird for some reason in his stomach area and instantly checked his condition, but bizarrely noticed there was nothing wrong with his body.

\'I probably exhausted because I was using too much spirit energy?\' Tang San thought while thinking about his last attack, which spawned a grass field in the arena to poison other contestants.

In a small forest near Bright Spirit City, Flender brought Yu Xiaogang with a complicated expression.

He threw Yu Xiaogang at a bush and indifferently questioned, "...Explain?"

"Why Liu Erlong was in the spirit hall."

"I don\'t know." Yu Xiaogang hurriedly lifted himself. "Do you think I\'m not confused?"

Flender frowned for a second and saw his friend\'s wrist completely was bruised with a purplish color. "What happened to your wrist?" He weirdly asked.

"Haa..." Yu Xiaogang sighed while looking at the ground.

"Let me explain first." He glanced at Flender and slowly explained everything that happened in the hallway.

Flender listened to his friend\'s story attentively and was shocked because Liu Erlong working under the spirit hall was something he didn\'t expect to happen.

Not to mention how meticulous the spirit hall was as an organization, with Liu Erlong\'s personality, she would never choose to work in that place.

"I need to talk with her..." Flender muttered with a complicated expression.

"We probably couldn\'t do that." Yu Xiaogang answered with a bitter look on his face. "I already try and see what happens to me."

Flender was quiet after hearing this, but he really wanted to have a conversation with Liu Erlong. Without a single word directly from her mouth, he couldn\'t confirm the truth.

--- Supreme Pontiff Palace ---

Yunlong observed his maids absorbing his essence blood and was quite surprised because of the changes that happened to their bodies.

"To think my essence blood would have such an effect." He commented with surprised looks. "I had already expected that my blood would change them a little, but..."

"This is a little bit too much." He added while looking at five cocoons, or precisely eggshells, that covered his maids.

Bright silverish-golden light burst out of their bodies and spontaneously ripped their clothes apart when they assimilated his essence blood into their bodies. A clear white liquid then covered their entire bodies and formed thick eggshells around them.

Crack!

The eggshells cracked, and Yunlong\'s maid slowly broke off without any problem, revealing their naked bodies to him.

"Yunlong...?" Zhu Zhuqing quietly said while looking at him with a newfound view.

The rest of the maids hurriedly moved their gazes to Yunlong and discovered a strong bond between themselves.

"Congratulations." Yunlong gently smiled at them.. "You have been reborn."
