Subsequently, Fang Yang and Tang Wulin walked out of the Heaven Dou Forging Master Association headquarters.
Just then, a blue figure came into view not far away.
The person's posture was as tall and straight as a pine, his ice-blue hair gently fluttering in the breeze, and his white robe made him appear even more aloof and ethereal.
This was their teacher, Wu Changkong.
"Hmm… Teacher Wu?"
Fang Yang was the first to notice the familiar figure and greeted him with a hint of surprise.
"Teacher Wu."
Tang Wulin respectfully called out.
Wu Changkong's gaze swept over the two of them indifferently, his ice-blue eyes showing no emotion, only a slight nod.
"Hmm."
His cold voice rang out, carrying a hint of chill.
"Teacher Wu, are you looking for us for something?" Fang Yang inquired, vaguely guessing what it might be.
Wu Changkong's expression remained unchanged as he calmly explained, "Due to the Evil Soul Master attack, the academy has issued an emergency notice, requiring teachers to personally protect you during this final exam."
He paused slightly, then continued, "However, due to the limited number of teachers, you will only be able to act together as a team from now on."
"I understand, Teacher Wu." Fang Yang was not surprised by this and nodded in response.
Tang Wulin also nodded in understanding.
"Follow me."
Wu Changkong turned and stepped forward, with Fang Yang and Tang Wulin following closely behind him.
The three of them passed through several streets, finally stopping in front of a classical-style hotel.
Inside the hotel lobby, Gu Yue, Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, and others had already arrived and were gathered, waiting.
Seeing Fang Yang and Tang Wulin arrive, Xie Xie immediately waved, "Fang Yang, Tang Wulin, you're finally here."
"Hmm."
Fang Yang and Tang Wulin responded in unison.
Just then, Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan hurried over, throwing themselves into his arms, one on each side.
Fang Yang steadily caught the two of them, his arms gently embracing them.
"Gu Yue, Xiao Yan, did you miss me?"
Fang Yang looked down at the two girls in his arms, his voice filled with a doting smile.
Gu Yue buried her face in Fang Yang's chest, softly hummed in affirmation, her ears slightly red.
Xu Xiaoyan, on the other hand, raised her head and sweetly smiled, "I missed you."
Tang Wulin watched from the side, a knowing smile appearing on his face.
Xie Xie exaggeratedly covered his eyes, teasing, "Oh my, this scene is too dazzling, my eyes are going to be blinded!"
"Shut up."
Gu Yue turned her head and glanced at him, her voice cold.
Xie Xie immediately fell silent, awkwardly lowering his hands.
Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi, standing nearby, couldn't help but laugh aloud. Even with the object, Xie Xie was still behaving like this.
"Ahem."
Wu Changkong lightly coughed, interrupting their playful banter.
Fang Yang then gently released Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan, and everyone looked towards their teacher.
"Evil Soul Masters are not to be trifled with; you must remain vigilant at all times." Wu Changkong's gaze swept over each student, his tone serious.
"With Teacher Wu here, what Evil Soul Master do we have to fear?" Xie Xie said with a grin.
"What if I am held up by a high-Rank Evil Soul Master and cannot Clone myself?" Wu Changkong retorted coldly.
Xie Xie was immediately speechless: "This…"
"I am only responsible for ensuring your safety; the final exam still needs to be completed by yourselves."
Wu Changkong reiterated, "Understood?"
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison, their expressions a few shades more serious.
Evil Soul Masters have always been synonymous with terror and danger. Their Cultivation methods are bizarre and vicious, often allowing them to defeat the strong with the weak, making them impossible to guard against.
At the same time, Evil Soul Masters are also called fallen ones. Such fallen Spirit Masters are undoubtedly terrifying!
Originally, for the final exam, teachers only needed to quietly observe their students from a distance and assist when necessary.
However, with the unknown movements of the Evil Soul Masters, the situation has changed.
"By the way, have you all completed your challenge tasks in Heaven Dou City?" Fang Yang asked.
"Not yet."
Xie Xie and the others all shook their heads.
"Is that so…" Fang Yang pondered upon hearing this.
They couldn't possibly ask Tang Wulin to trouble Senior Zhen Hua to find people again, could they?
That really wasn't appropriate. Tang Wulin clearly also thought of this, a troubled expression on his face.
A moment later, Fang Yang thought of something and said, "Let's go to the Spirit Transfer Pagoda."
The Spirit Transfer Pagoda! Everyone's eyes lit up.
Yes, the Spirit Transfer Pagoda is the place where Spirit Masters are least scarce.
With Fang Yang and Gu Yue's status in the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, finding a few opponents for a match would be perfectly suitable.
"Let's go."
The streets of Heaven Dou City were bustling, and they hailed a few soul-guided cars by the roadside, heading straight for the Heaven Dou City Spirit Transfer Pagoda.
The Heaven Dou City Spirit Transfer Pagoda was second only in scale to the Shrek City headquarters, with a magnificent and towering architecture that reached into the clouds.
Upon entering the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, everyone naturally quieted down.
Wu Changkong silently followed behind them, saying nothing, just maintaining a cold demeanor.
Fang Yang glanced at Teacher Wu; he still clearly remembered that his teacher's beloved was buried in the cemetery in Heaven Dou City.
Wu Changkong seemed to sense his gaze, briefly glanced at him indifferently, then shifted his gaze elsewhere.
After Fang Yang revealed his identity, a staff member quickly and respectfully came to greet them.
He led them to a conference room on the third floor to wait.
Before long, a middle-aged man pushed open the door and entered.
He bowed to Fang Yang: "Your subordinate, pays respects to Lord Fang Yang."
"Oh? You know me?" Fang Yang was a little curious.
"Lord Fang Yang's prestige is not only spread throughout the Heavenly Spirit Pagoda but is also known to everyone in the eighteen Spirit Transfer Pagodas," the middle-aged man respectfully replied.
"Oh?"
Xie Xie and the others all turned their gazes to Fang Yang, and even Wu Changkong looked sideways.
"Ah, it's nothing."
Fang Yang said lightly, "I just killed an ordinary Titled Douluo and severely injured another person along the way."
The middle-aged man couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat upon hearing this.
He thought to himself, "What an 'ordinary' Titled Douluo, what a 'severely injured'… Qian Gu Zhong Cheng's strength is not weak, you crippled the Spirit Transfer Pagoda Master's own grandson!"
"What?"
Tang Wulin and the others were all shocked upon hearing this.
They hadn't expected Fang Yang's strength to be so terrifying, capable of slaying a Titled Douluo at the Spirit Emperor Realm!
"Don't worry, I didn't kill indiscriminately."
Fang Yang explained, "That person tried to plot against Gu Yue, so I took action and crippled his Cultivation."
"As a result, his subordinate, disregarding his status, bullied the weak… If I didn't still have a little bit of strength, I might have been in danger."
"Six…"
Everyone fell silent again, their hearts filled with shock.
"Then… Lord Fang Yang, what kind of assistance do you need us to provide?" The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead, his tone becoming even more respectful.
Fang Yang looked at his companions beside him and said, "We need five Spirit Masters as opponents to complete the practical combat challenge task for the final exam."
"Their spirit power Rank should preferably be between Rank 40 and Rank 50."
"That's simple!"
The middle-aged man visibly relaxed, "The Spirit Transfer Pagoda has no shortage of Spirit Masters.
"I will arrange it right away and guarantee to find suitable opponents for everyone."
