Chapter 731: All Grown Up (2/2)

All outer court students that had reached 18 years of age could spectate the event, and that was meant to act as motivation for them, urging them to work hard in their cultivation so they could become one-word battle armor masters as quickly as possible. After that, they'd have a chance to attend the convention as well.

There was only around half a month left until the convention, and that was why Xie Xie had been so concerned.

All of a sudden, a ma.s.sive figure squeezed his way into Xie Xie's room, panting heavily as he did so.

Xu Lizhi was a lot taller than he'd been three years ago, but his body weight had also increased proportionally. He had become a huge fatso, and he bore a rather similar appearance to the recovery pork buns that he made.

”What's going on?” Xie Xie and Yue Zhengyu both turned toward him with surprise in their eyes.

Xie Xie and Yue Zhengyu's personalities were rather similar, whereas Xu Lizhi's personality was quite close to that of Tang Wulin. He appeared to be quite bashful and simple-minded, but he was actually quite sinister on the inside, and those who got on his bad side usually ended up sorely regretting it.

However, in stark contrast with his normal calm and steady demeanor, he seemed to be quite panicked at the moment.

”What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?” Yue Zhengyu asked?

Xie Xie also chimed in, ”Yeah, what's going on? By the way, if you don't lose some weight, will you be able to attend the Sea G.o.d Fate Match-making Convention?”

Xu Lizhi glowered at him in an indignant manner. ”Why wouldn't I be able to partic.i.p.ate in the convention? I've got a bunch of tricks up my sleeve! Now's not the time to be talking about this; Dai Yun'er and Long Yue just arrived at our academy.”

”Who?” Xie Xie exclaimed in a puzzled manner.

Yue Zhengyu was also rather perplexed. ”Those two names sound really familiar for some reason.”

Xu Lizhi reminded, ”They're two of the people on the Monster Academy team that we battled during the Continental Young Elites Tournaments! Dai Yun'er is also a princess of the Star Luo Empire; have you both forgotten about all this? That Long is that monster with the Mountain Dragon King martial soul.”

Yue Zhengyu and Xie Xie's expressions both changed drastically upon hearing this and they asked in unison, ”Why did they come here?”

Xu Zhili replied, ”From the information I've gathered, they're apparently here as exchange students, and they'll be studying in our inner court, so we'll be studying at the same place as them from now on.”

”What?” Peculiar expressions appeared on both Yue Zhengyu and Xie Xie's faces. They hadn't paid much attention to Dai Yun'er, but Dragon King Long Yue had left them with an extremely strong impression. On a one-on-one basis, none of Shrek's Seven Monsters were a match for him, and Tang Wulin had even almost been killed by him in battle.

Yue Zhengyu had also been defeated by Long Yue once, so he was rather unsettled upon hearing this name.

Xie Xie and Yue Zhengyu glanced at one another before the latter asked, ”What's he doing here? Does he want to flaunt his superiority over us?”

Even though all of the current Shrek's Seven Monsters had grown very quickly in the past three years, there was still a clear gap between them and Long Yue. He was already a six-ring Soul Emperor over three years ago, after all. On top of that, he was also a two-word battle armor master. Even if he hadn't become a three-word battle armor master during these past three years, he would've most definitely become more powerful than he had been, and there was no way that any of Shrek's Seven Monsters could match him.

Xu Lizhi shrugged in a nonchalant manner. ”Who knows? Maybe he's here to seek revenge. In any case, I'm just a food-type Soul Master, so this has nothing to do with me, and I have Sister Xinglan to protect me. You two should pray for your own safety, though.”

”Can you have any less backbone?” Yue Zhengyu scoffed as he rolled his eyes.

”Backbone? What's the use in having something like that? It's not like I can eat it. Alright, I'm going now; I still have to prepare for the match-making convention,” Xu Lizhi chuckled.

Yue Zhengyu's eyes immediately lit up. ”Who do you have your eyes set on, Fatty? You're not into Wu Siduo or Zheng Yiran, are you? One of them has thorns while the other is toxic, so you'd better be careful.”
