After eating, the Shrek group headed to the gathering point designated by the Federal government for this trip, the Tianhai Hotel.
The Star Luo Continent delegation would arrive here one after another to gather, and then depart by ship from Tianhai City port.
They had a large ship when they came, and this time the Douluo Continent side would also dispatch a large ship to accompany them.
This was so they could bring back Tang Wulin and the others representing the Douluo Continent for the exchange in a year.
It took a full three days for everyone to arrive, and the Star Luo Continent delegation was about to set off back to the Star Luo Continent.
The members of the Star Luo Continent delegation, plus the returning members from the Douluo Continent, filled the hall to capacity, while the Shrek Academy group stood in a corner, waiting silently.
Among them, Qian Mo's figure was particularly eye-catching; even the green school uniform could hardly conceal his appearance and temperament. It seemed that as long as he didn't deliberately hide his aura, the eyes of the people around him would involuntarily be drawn to him, followed by a sigh of admiration for such a fine young man.
Qian Mo stood there spacing out, hands in his pockets and eyes lowered, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him.
"Qian Mo!"
Qian Mo turned his head and saw Lin Yuhan calling out to him not far away.
Lin Yuhan walked up to Qian Mo, her pretty face slightly flushed, and said, "I didn't expect to see you here. Is this a coincidence?"
Qian Mo smiled and said, "It's not a coincidence. We are representing the Douluo Continent to go to your Star Luo Continent for exchange and study."
Qian Mo's conversation with a beautiful girl he didn't seem to know immediately attracted the attention of several companions.
Gu Yuena, Yuanen Yehui, and Ye Xinglan watched Qian Mo and Lin Yuhan, their eyes flickering.
Le Zhengyu rubbed his chin, his gaze darting back and forth between Qian Mo and the girl.
Lin Yuhan asked Qian Mo curiously, "Are you going to exchange forging knowledge? Do you have any new achievements?"
Qian Mo shook his head, "It's just a trip to the Star Luo Continent for study and exchange."
Lin Yuhan nodded and said, "Then when we get to my territory, I definitely want to compete with you again. I will work hard to surpass you."
Qian Mo smiled slightly, "Alright! I'm also looking forward to our next encounter."
Lin Yuhan gave him a deep look, then turned and left.
"A Mo, you really have a wide circle of friends! You're hooking up with girls from everywhere!" Le Zhengyu draped his arm over Qian Mo's shoulder with a hint of mischief.
Qian Mo kicked Le Zhengyu, "If you can't talk properly, just stay aside. This is just normal communication between blacksmiths."
Le Zhengyu looked at Gu Yuena, "Sister-in-law, he's always attracting girls outside. Do you know?"
Gu Yuena glanced at him, "He doesn't. The flowers and grass actively provoke him."
Qian Mo said excitedly, "Hear that? Don't ruin my family harmony for no reason in the future."
Le Zhengyu pouted, "I really don't know what kind of love potion you gave Na'er."
Qian Mo said lightly, "That's called sincerity. You scumbag don't understand these things."
"Hey!" Hearing this, Le Zhengyu was displeased, "You still have the nerve to call me a scumbag..."
The two chatted and laughed, and more and more people gathered in the hall, which was still relatively orderly under official organization.
At this moment, a loud voice spread throughout the hall via a soul-guided amplifier.
"Hello everyone, I am Pan Wen, the Federal Secretary-General.
I will lead this exchange activity to the Star Luo Continent.
Shortly, the Star Luo Continent exchange group will count their numbers and depart first, boarding soul-guided buses number one to twenty-five.
Then it will be our side, boarding buses number twenty-six to fifty-two.
Now, all departments, please count your numbers."
Before long, the two delegations, totaling over two thousand people, orderly exited the Tianhai Hotel and boarded the buses.
The soul-guided buses slowly left the hotel under the command and guidance of a dedicated mecha escort team, heading straight towards the port.
It wasn't far from the hotel to the port, and as the sea appeared in their view, two massive ships also came into sight.
As far as the eye could see, each massive ship had at least five decks, and the ships emitted a metallic sheen. There were also obvious gunports installed with soul-guided weapons, which looked incredibly powerful.
Although humans had extended their reach to the sea after land Spirit Beasts became endangered, leading to a sharp decrease in the number of sea Spirit Beasts, even so, sea Spirit Beasts were still the most numerous Spirit Beasts currently existing on the Douluo Continent.
Therefore, only such massive ships with extremely strong offense and defense could undertake long voyages at sea.
On the Shrek Academy side, Federal Secretary-General Pan Wen personally led the way, guiding the Shrek Academy group to board the ship.
Upon boarding the massive ship, staff members were already there to greet them and arrange accommodations for the Shrek Academy group.
Soon, everyone received their cabin keys. Since there was enough space, everyone had a single room.
"The Shrek Academy school uniforms are really ugly.
How can you stand them!" Just then, a somewhat sarcastic voice rang out.
The Shrek group turned around and saw several Star Luo Royal Academy students wearing white school uniforms walking towards them.
There were twelve people in total, all looking about the same age, eight males and four females, and they all gathered around.
The one speaking was a short male student, not tall but looking very sturdy.
Qian Mo glanced slightly. He knew this was because the Star Luo Royal Academy delegation wanted to go to Shrek Academy for exchange and study, but were mercilessly rejected by Shrek Academy, thus harboring resentment and provoking them for no reason.
Le Zhengyu suddenly shook his head, as if looking for something, and muttered, "Who's talking? Who's talking?"
As the eldest young master of the Sacred Angel Family, Le Zhengyu wouldn't tolerate this insult and immediately counterattacked, hitting them where it hurt.
Although that Star Luo Royal Academy student was short, he wasn't so short that he was completely invisible!
Le Zhengyu's appearance and words instantly triggered his anger.
"Kid, what are you saying?" The short student was the first to react, darting forward like an arrow to stand in front of Le Zhengyu and bumping him with his chest.
Le Zhengyu didn't dodge, "Oh, so you're here.
I'm really sorry, I have a bad neck and I'm not used to looking down at people.
But your development, tsk tsk, seems to have some issues, doesn't it?"
"Bang--" Their chests collided. The short young man had jumped up to hit him.
Le Zhengyu stood there motionless, while the short young man felt as if he had hit an iron plate. His body dropped, and he stumbled back two steps.
Qian Mo stepped forward at this moment, frowning and saying, "Alright, stop wasting time. Go back to your rooms."
The Star Luo Royal Academy students stepped forward, blocking Qian Mo's path, and were about to say something else, but when their eyes met Qian Mo's suddenly glowing golden eyes, their hearts were startled. Their necks felt as if they were gripped by a large hand, making them unable to breathe, and they stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
