Bonus Chapter. Enjoy!
=============================
Hearing those words from Gu Yuena, Di Tian could not help but be slightly taken aback, a trace of surprise flashing in those pupils, but it was immediately followed by a wave of thinly veiled joy.
Now with Tang Wulin, who was suspected to be the Dragon God's Reincarnation, and the Silver Dragon King Lord personally stepping out... the revitalization of the Spirit Beast clan might truly be just around the corner.
Di Tian suppressed the excitement in his heart, lowered his head slightly towards Gu Yuena, and spoke.
"Now that Lord has transformed into a human form, with a strength roughly equivalent to the standard of a human five-ring Spirit Master, are you planning to enter that Shrek Academy in the identity of a student?"
Gu Yuena nodded, her silvery-white long hair gently brushing in the breeze, and a thoughtful look lingered in those purple pupils.
"That is right, I have precisely this intention."
"My injuries have not yet fully healed, and that Shrek Academy... perhaps it might bring some unexpected miracles."
She paused for a moment and continued to speak.
"Even if not, I can take a step first to closely observe the situation of that Dragon God's Reincarnation."
Hearing these words, Di Tian could not help but nod.
"Lord is wise."
He thought for a moment and added another sentence.
"In addition, when subordinate observed that Dragon God's Reincarnation today, subordinate discovered that he was wearing the Dragon God's Tears on his wrist. One who can gain the recognition of the Dragon God's Tears must have a decent Heart-Nature."
Hearing this, Gu Yuena glanced at Di Tian with a bit of surprise.
According to her understanding of Di Tian, this Beast God had always harbored immense vigilance and hostility towards humans, and would not easily give any positive evaluations.
Yet now, merely after meeting Tang Wulin once and feeling that the other party was suspected to be the Dragon God's Reincarnation, Di Tian actually said such words?
A flash of light crossed Gu Yuena's purple pupils, but she did not ask further.
Di Tian seemed to sense Gu Yuena's gaze, fell silent for a moment, and spoke again.
"Subordinate has also heard that the Ice and Snow Two Emperors are currently serving as teachers in that Shrek Academy. To ensure the safety of Lord and the two of them, subordinate also intends to go together by applying for a teaching position."
"As for the management matters of the Star Dou Great Forest, they can be temporarily handed over to Bi Ji and the others to be responsible for."
Hearing this, Gu Yuena was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slightly, which was considered a tacit approval.
If Di Tian went along, there were indeed quite a few benefits.
Her severe injuries had not yet healed, and her full strength could not be completely exerted. After transforming into a human form, she was even weaker than before.
If Di Tian was around to look after her, at least there would be an extra layer of guarantee regarding safety.
After the two discussed and settled everything, they flew together toward the periphery of the Star Dou Great Forest.
At this time, everyone in Tang Wulin's class had all arrived, totaling thirty-five people. Each of them had experienced the trials of their respective Small Worlds, and all of them carried a somewhat unusual, composed aura compared to before.
Everyone was still waiting for Di Tian's reply. After all, taking away the Auspicious Beast had to be considered one way or another. Fortunately, before long, Di Tian and Gu Yuena appeared in front of everyone.
Xie Xie was the first to notice her. He first glanced casually, then his whole body suddenly halted, his eyes instantly widened, and he let out a soft exclamation of surprise.
"Eh? Na'er? Why are you here?"
There was a hint of surprise in his voice, obviously recognizing someone he knew.
Hearing Xie Xie blurt out her name, Gu Yuena could not help but frown slightly.
She pondered that she had never met this human boy before, so how could he know her name?
After hearing Xie Xie's shout, Tang Wulin also subconsciously turned his head, his gaze falling on the silver-haired, purple-eyed young girl.
His pupils shrank slightly.
That appearance... That figure... That temperament...
Similar, far too similar.
In Tang Wulin's mind, another figure almost instantly emerged—that young girl who also had silvery-white long hair.
He opened his mouth and was just about to call out that name, but at the moment the words reached his lips, he suddenly stopped.
No, it was different.
Tang Wulin's gaze carefully landed on Gu Yuena's eyes; those pupils were purple.
As for Na'er whom he knew, the color of her pupils was silver. Obviously, the two were not the same person; this person was likely the Lord that Di Tian spoke of.
Tang Wulin withdrew the words that were about to slip out, shook his head, and then spoke.
"She is not Na'er."
Hearing this, Xie Xie was stunned for a moment, took another careful look at Gu Yuena, and then reacted.
"... Indeed, Na'er's eyes are silver, while this one's are purple."
He scratched his head and smiled somewhat awkwardly.
"Good grief, are there really people who look exactly identical in this World? And even their names are the same?"
Hearing Xie Xie's words, a pensive look could not help but flash in Gu Yuena's eyes.
So... that girl named Na'er not only looked just like her, but even had the same name as her?
It was truly quite interesting.
She did not dwell much on this issue, but instead quietly stood beside Di Tian, her gaze sweeping over Tang Wulin without leaving a trace, engraving his appearance and aura in her heart.
At this time, Di Tian stepped forward, swept his gaze across everyone present, and spoke.
"Lord and I have already discussed it. The two of us will go to your academy together with the Auspicious Beast to participate in the examination, and I will apply for the position of a teacher."
Hearing this, Tang Wulin was slightly stunned, then turned to look at Gu Yuena, and then at Di Tian, before nodding. After all, he had originally promised Qiuer to persuade Di Tian for her, and now Di Tian had considered to have agreed.
"In that case, let's go together."
Everyone quickly began to arrange getting into the cars. A Soul Guided Car sat six people, and with a total of thirty-five people in the class, there was room for one more. Qiuer sat up with great interest, then leaned against the window. When she was still in her true form, she thought this thing was so small, but now it was much better.
"The two of you, the vehicles are full. I'm afraid you will have to wrong yourselves by following behind."
Di Tian waved his hand indifferently.
"No matter, we will naturally follow behind the Exalted Lord."
As he spoke, he and Gu Yuena soared into the air simultaneously, following closely behind the Soul Guided Cars and flying up toward high altitudes.
On the ground, the Star Dou Great Forest grew smaller and smaller beneath their feet, gradually turning into a dense green carpet, while those towering mountains and winding rivers gradually became fine lines.
Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, two figures stood quietly atop an ancient tree, watching that group of people and the Soul Guided Cars disappear into the horizon.
They were precisely Da Ming and Tai Tan. Seeing this scene before them, the two could not help but sigh with emotion.
"Never would I have expected... that even Di Tian and the Co-lord of Spirit Beasts went to that Shrek Academy."
Tai Tan also shook his head, his brows tightly furrowed.
Tang San's subsequent plan could be said to be even more troublesome. Besides, whether Tang San's plan could truly succeed remained an unknown.
On the other side, the Soul Guided Cars had already flown into the high altitude of several thousand meters.
Gu Yuena and Di Tian followed behind the motorcade, their gazes piercing through layers of mist and clouds, landing upon the colossal entity that was slowly appearing within their field of vision ahead.
That was a giant island suspended in the air. The entire island floated above the clouds, overflowing with a sense of technology, looking as if it were a product completely unbefitting this era.
A trace of thinly veiled shock flashed within Gu Yuena's purple pupils; even her Mental Force was unable to scan the things inside this Shrek Academy from the outside.
...
Meanwhile, in the Deans Office.
