Shrek Academy had allies all over the continent, and its rebuild had swayed the stances of many officials in the Eagle Faction. Many of those who were originally in support of war had altered their opinions due to the academy's rebuild, and this was a major reason behind why Qiangu Dongfeng was so concerned about the Shrek Academy rebuild.

All of Shrek Academy's alumni were elite Soul Masters, and many of them occupied important positions in the federation. It was simply unrealistic for the Spirit Pagoda to remove all of those people from power.

A soul train slowly arrived at the station, and the normal carriages were packed like sardine cans. The standing tickets that no one bought under normal circumstances had been completely sold out, and a group of people emerged from the luxury carriage.

They were led by a tall and broad young man who appeared to be around 27 to 28 years of age. The young man had a pair of bright and piercing eyes, and his body seemed to be brimming with endless energy.

Following along behind him were seven or eight burly men, and one of them said, "Young Master, the cars that are picking us up have arrived."

There were three soul cars already waiting on the platform, and this was undoubtedly a privilege that only extremely important people could enjoy.

The young man nodded, and asked, "Have you gotten into contact with the Spirit Pagoda yet? Would I be able to meet Gu Yuena in advance?"

"My apologies, Young Master, but the Spirit Pagoda told us that Gu Yuena won't be seeing anyone before the commencement of the joust for a spouse."

The young man became slightly enraged upon hearing this. "They're refusing even me? What do they take our Blue Lighting Tyrant Dragon Clan for?"

His voice was rather loud and instantly attracted a lot of attention.

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? Those who were well-versed in history were astonished to hear this.

This was a very ancient clan that could be traced back to over 20,000 years ago. It was one of the six pillar clans of the Spirit Hall back when that existed, and that was sufficient testament to how powerful the clan was.

"Please be quiet, Young Master; you're attracting a lot of attention," the burly middle-aged man beside him hurriedly said.

The young man harrumphed coldly, "Let's get in the car first."

He made his way toward the middle car as he spoke, and someone opened the door for him before closing it after he took a seat.

The three luxury sedans slowly left the platform, leaving the surrounding bystanders to discuss what they had just witnessed. That young man was none other than the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and he had come for Gu Yuena as well.

Gu Yuena had been given the nickname of Silver Dragon Princess, and it had been revealed that her martial soul was the Silver Dragon, which could control all elements, making her particularly adept in using elements in battle.

Even though there were still 10 days left until the official commencement of the joust for a spouse event, this was a very important day as the specific rules of the event were going to be released on this day.

The young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan cast his gaze out through the car window, and the arrogance that he had displayed earlier had completely vanished. The burly middle-aged man was seated right beside him, and he currently wore an amused smile. "Your acting skills are truly remarkable, Young Master! If I didn't know what was going on, even I would've been fooled!"

The young man smiled, and replied, "That's because you haven't experienced what I have. If you're interested, I can send you there as well; I'm sure you'll be left with a very deep impression, and your overall skills in all areas will improve as well."

"No, thanks!" the burly man refused right away, "I don't want to have to go through that! All of the young Shrek Academy students who return from the demonic island looked as if they had seen ghosts. Even you aren't willing to mention what you experienced on the island; I'm not going to sign up for something like that. Besides, no one knows who I am, so I don't need any disguise skills anyway."

The young man smiled, and said, "I'm sure many people have heard of the Wild Gale Saber Demon."

Indeed, this burly man was none other than Wild Gale Saber Demon Sima Jinchi, and this so-called young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was actually Tang Wulin in disguise.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had a history of over 20,000 years, but it had become a hidden sect long ago, and its members were very rarely sighted on the continent.

This was once an extremely glorious sect, and one of its forefathers was one of the founders of Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang. After that, there was also someone from the clan who had become Sea God's Pavilion Master.

The leader of Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao's generation of Shrek’s Seven Monsters was a member of this clan, and even though it was keeping a very low profile, the clan still had a considerable level of influence in the Soul Master world.

At the same time, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had always maintained a very close relationship with Shrek Academy, but that was something that only the higher-ups of the academy and clan were aware of. In reality, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had always kept in contact with the academy and would periodically send some of its bright young talents to study in the academy; they just did so in a very discreet manner.

As the times had changed, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had also been constantly improving itself, and it was one of Shrek Academy's closest allies.

Tang Wulin had thought long and hard before deciding to disguise himself as a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. For this joust for a spouse event, the academy had devised a complete plan, and as the core of the plan, he had arrived early to make some preparations.

The scene that he had caused at the train station was nothing but an act to spread the news that the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had arrived.

Bright City was as lively and bustling as ever, and the three luxury sedans were quickly caught in a traffic jam.

Due to the large influx of people attending the joust for a spouse event, it had become very difficult to find lodging. There were many soldiers patrolling the streets to maintain law and order, and the venue for the event had been decided; it was going to be held at the Bright City Sports Stadium, which had a capacity of 100,000 people.

The event had received immense support from the federal government, so all of the preparations had proceeded very smoothly. The sports stadium was currently temporarily closed, undergoing construction to prepare for the event.

The three luxury sedans drove to a tall building not far away from the Bright City Sport Stadium. This building was known as the Radiant Tang Skyscraper, and it was an office building for many companies. It was actually the property of the Tang Sect, but that wasn't known to the outside world.

The three sedans drove into the underground garage before parking in the VIP area. Tang Wulin emerged from the sedan and passed through a small door, where people were already waiting for him, and they opened the passcode lock before leading him into the elevator.

The internal decor of the elevator was completely white, and Tang Wulin couldn't help but recall his time at the Blood God Legion.

Long Yuxue and the Blood Dragon Squad had already returned to the Blood God Legion. The Tang Sect had been declared to be a treasonous organization, yet they were official soldiers, so they had to return.

Cao Dezhi hadn't said anything about the Blood God Legion's stance on this matter, and Tang Wulin didn't ask any questions. He had nothing but respect for this legion that he had served.

Prior to her departure, Long Yuxue hadn't said anything; she had merely given him a very tight hug, as if she were trying to completely meld herself into his body.

As for Jiang Wuyue, he had given Tang Wulin a firm punch on the shoulder. Tang Wulin knew that perhaps he would never see these nameless heroes ever again.

"Ding!" The chime of the elevator jerked him back to reality, and Tang Wulin emerged out of the elevator.
