Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting-Chapter 1220 - : Be Psychologically Prepared
Chapter 1220: Chapter 1220: Be Psychologically Prepared
The pursuit process for Zheng Longjiang could be described as arduous and remarkable. He still clearly remembers the first time he confessed to Shan Wei, she merely gave him a disdainful glare and told him, “First, try to win against me, then we’ll talk.”
Thus, motivated by this significant incentive at the end of his first-year term, Zheng Longjiang’s ranking in class rose by ten places. By the first term of his second year, he had defeated the higher-ranking Shan Wei.
Within a year, his constant warmth and concern had caused the still youthful Shan Wei to develop some special fondness for Zheng Longjiang. Back then, everyone was still young, and in terms of appearance, the differences weren’t that significant. Other students didn’t even understand the matters between boys and girls.
But Shan Wei did not agree to be with Zheng Longjiang in their second year; she only told him that her future boyfriend must be the best. “First become the top of the class before we talk again.”
At the end of their third-year examinations, Zheng Longjiang emerged with the top grades for the outer court. He won first place with absolute excellence. That year, he broke through to six rings and became a Soul Emperor. Instantly, his reputation reached its peak among the class.
In front of all his classmates, he told everyone that it was Shan Wei who had inspired his effort.
As the saying goes, a persistent suitor fears no refusal, especially such a diligent fellow. Finally, in his fourth year, Shan Wei agreed to start a relationship with him. According to the customs of Soul Land, at sixteen years old, one was already considered an adult. From then on, all the way until now.
The two had been together for more than a decade, yet Zheng Longjiang’s affection for Shan Wei remained unchanged.
Seeing him approach with a fawning look, Shan Wei, feeling irritable, said, “Early in the morning you’re here daydreaming, making it such a hassle to find you. You tell me what should be done?”
Zheng Longjiang immediately showed a scared expression, “I’m sorry honey, how about, how about I let you kiss me a hundred times?”
“Ugh! Never serious.” Shan Wei’s pretty face blushed, and she couldn’t help but punch him, but Zheng Longjiang smoothly wrapped his arms around her.
“Madam Wife, what are you looking for me for? Just command me,” Zheng Longjiang chuckled.
Leaning in his embrace, Shan Wei said, “It’s because I need you to help me rehearse. It’s my first time acting as a host, and I’m a bit nervous.”
Zheng Longjiang laughed heartily and replied, “You’ve faced much greater challenges; what’s there to be nervous about? Alright, let’s rehearse here then. This matchmaking event is going to be very lively, I reckon!”
Shan Wei nodded and added, “Yes! Just received the notification, this session’s matchmaking event suddenly has over thirty more participants. It’s said that Lan Xuanyu and his class have all returned.”
“Huh? They’re back? Didn’t they go to serve in the military? How come they’ve returned so soon?” Zheng Longjiang was taken aback.
News about Lan Xuanyu and his class collectively entering the Inner Court had indeed caused quite a stir at Shrek Academy. It was an unprecedented situation. Nothing like it had occurred in the past ten thousand years.
The specific reason was rumored to be their class’s extraordinary accomplishment during a mission. Which is why they were granted such an exceptional promotion. This also led to quite a few objections from both Inner Court and outer court teachers. That’s why they were sent to serve in the military first.
“I don’t know why they’re back. Anyway, they’ve just returned. A bunch of juniors who’ve just transitioned from the outer court to the Inner Court are now quite the mystery. Just in time to find out what’s going on at this Sea God’s Luck matchmaking event.”
“Hmm. It’s been a while since I last saw Lan Xuanyu. Their class being able to achieve such results is closely related to him. You can’t underestimate anyone, particularly not him. However, it seems he and that girl from their class, Dong Qianqiu, who later changed her name to Bai Xiuxiu, have been together for quite some time. I guess his attendance at the matchmaking conference is just for formality.”
“I really don’t know about that. Anyway, don’t take it too much to heart. Even though you didn’t become one of the Seven Monsters, you are the best in my eyes,” Shan Wei hugged her husband a little harder.
Zheng Longjiang showed a bitter smile on his face, “Honestly, I don’t usually take things to heart, as you are the most important to me. But the responsibility and honor of being one of Shrek Seven Monsters are something that any Shrek person finds hard to let go, especially when I once had the qualifications. Missing it this time means I’ll never have the chance again. So I was indeed feeling down for a few days. Now I’ve mostly recovered. Isn’t it said that the new generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters will be announced at the matchmaking conference? I really want to know who will receive this honor.”
“Yeah. I want to know too. I don’t believe there are that many people in the Inner Court who are stronger than you.”
The news about the announcement of the new generation of Shrek Seven Monsters had already spread far and wide. Among the inner court disciples, there were many like Zheng Longjiang, who wanted to see who the new generation of the Seven Monsters were. For them, this was an obstacle in their hearts that they had to personally witness and be convinced of.
Eternal Sky City.
“Everyone, be mentally prepared!” Lan Xuanyu looked at his teammates in front of him, and what he saw on their faces was nothing but excitement.

When he told everyone about the academy’s decision. The first reaction of the crowd was to be stupefied, but in the next moment, they were already uncontrollably thrilled.
Shrek Seven Monsters, they are the new generation of Shrek Seven Monsters. The seven did not separate.
No one doubted that Lan Xuanyu would be one of them. His contribution to the academy and to the federation was incomparable in the past century, an unprecedented achievement to become such a young level 8 Sky Fighter. If he continues to earn merits like this, even reaching level 9 wouldn’t be out of question one day. With enough merits accumulated, the federation wouldn’t be able to suppress him due to his age.
But what about them? In their hearts, they have always felt a sense of indebtedness towards Lan Xuanyu. The resources were fought for by Lan Xuanyu, the missions were mainly completed by him. Most of the dangers were also borne by him alone.
Thus, even within their small team, everyone felt they owed him a debt. Without Lan Xuanyu, they could not have grown so fast, and this time, it was because of Lan Xuanyu that they even had the qualifications to become the new generation of Shrek Seven Monsters.
In terms of strength, could they firmly stand out among the many seniors in the Inner Court?
In terms of achievements, most of theirs were related to Lan Xuanyu. Only each time the merits were reported upwards, Lan Xuanyu always reported them as a team. The benefits were shared by everyone, but Lan Xuanyu gave the most. This actually kindled a determination in their hearts.
“Xuanyu, I have an idea,” Tang Yuge suddenly said.
Lan Xuanyu nodded and replied, “Go ahead.”
Tang Yuge took a deep breath, “Being part of Shrek Seven Monsters is definitely the ultimate honor for us, the most important thing in our lives. The fact that we can become the Seven Monsters is mostly, say ninety percent due to you. This time, when the matchmaking conference announces it, there will undoubtedly be widespread doubts. After all, we are just freshmen who have entered the Inner Court. Being positioned as the Shrek Seven Monsters in front of so many seniors, they will definitely be very unconvinced and will surely challenge us.”
“This time, the academy decided to let us participate in the Sea God’s Luck matchmaking conference. I believe it’s not just for us to attend this grand event. More importantly, it’s for us to show ourselves in front of all the students and teachers of the Inner Court. Only by gaining their approval, at least recognition of our strength, can we truly become the Seven Monsters. Therefore, if someone challenges us this time, please try not to take action. Let us handle it. Believe in us.”
Tang Yuge was very serious as she spoke, and her eyes sparkled with an unprecedented glow.
