Chapter 1221: Chapter 1221: Pressure, Motivation
Not just her, but when she spoke those words, the eyes of the others present also became sharp and focused.
“Yes, let’s do this, boss. You’ve already put in so much. This time, we finally have the chance to make a move. Believe in us, we can do it too,” Qian Lei declared in a resolute voice.
Watching his companions before him, Lan Xuanyu nodded slightly, “Alright. Together, all of us. Yu Ge is right, this is our opportunity to show ourselves to the Inner Court. It’s an extremely rare chance for us. We can’t miss it, and we absolutely cannot lose.”
While speaking, he stretched out his right hand, and everyone placed their hands on top of each other’s, exchanging glances with a radiant gleam in their eyes. In their gaze burned only the belief in certain victory.
Even compared to the recently won Ascending Dragon Tournament, in Lan Xuanyu’s heart, the upcoming Sea God’s Luck Matchmaking Event was far more significant.
It was an essential hurdle they had to overcome to truly establish themselves as the new Shrek Seven Monsters. Only after overcoming this challenge could they become the new generation of leaders.
Sea God’s Pavilion.

“Pavilion Master, won’t this put too much pressure on Xuanyu and the others?” Yi Zichen, standing behind the Sea God Pavilion Master, asked in a low voice.
The Sea God Pavilion Master smiled faintly, “Pressure is also motivation. You’ve seen the recording of that match, haven’t you?”
“I have. It was comparable to a battle at the limit,” Elder Yi said without hesitation.
“Yes! Only we know that they already possess such combat effectiveness, but the teachers and students of the Inner Court don’t. This is a chance for Xuanyu to show himself. At the same time, his companions have been too suppressed because of his presence. Without an outlet to release this pressure, their confidence would be damaged. So, this is an opportunity for all of them. If his companions can’t seize this chance to showcase themselves, what right do they have to be called the new Shrek Seven Monsters? That title represents not only glory but also responsibility. They need to demonstrate to everyone that they have the strength to carry this responsibility. Otherwise, even if the academy acknowledges them, they cannot become the true Shrek Seven Monsters.”
Yi Zichen frowned slightly and said, “Lan Xuanyu, Bai Xiuxiu, and Tang Yuge have undoubtedly confirmed their strength at the Titled Douluo level. They shouldn’t have a problem. But the other four, that’s more complicated. Apart from Yuanen Huihui, who is close to the peak of the eight rings, the other three have only recently entered the Eight Rings Level. It won’t be easy for them to compete against their seniors!”
The Sea God Pavilion Master smiled slightly, “The Shrek Seven Monsters are a whole. Before the Matchmaking Event starts, I will make an announcement. I certainly won’t let them be challenged one on one. That would be unfair to them.”
Yi Zichen smiled and said, “If that’s the case, there shouldn’t be too many issues. I also didn’t expect that Xuanyu’s growth rate would be so fast. In just a year, he made continuous leaps. Compared to his previous slow pace of growth, it’s like he’s a completely different person.”
The Sea God Pavilion Master sighed softly, “After all, they are their children. Isn’t it said, ‘A dragon in a pond is not content until it meets the storm that will transform it’? Moreover, he is the true heir to the Dragon God’s bloodline. If we say that the academy’s first rise was thanks to the founder of the Tang Sect, Tang Sect founder Tang San, then the second can be attributed to Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao. And Wulin was the third. It was he who reversed the declining trend, pulling the academy back on track and bringing it to new heights. If there is to be a fourth rise, perhaps it will fall upon Lan Xuanyu. Compared to the rest, what’s most important this time, in my eyes, is for him to showcase himself to everyone. To lay the foundation for his future inheritance of the Sea God Pavilion Master title.”
Yi Zichen said, “It’s a pity that the merits he has established cannot yet be publicized; otherwise, he would have already shocked the entire federation. Solely in terms of merits, he is increasingly close to coronation.”
The Sea God Pavilion Master said, “New generations always surpass the old ones. After all, this is not our era anymore. It’s theirs.”
“Pavilion Master, if the Silver Dragon Princess awakens and they all leave, you…” Yi Zichen hesitated.
“”
The Sea God Pavilion Master suddenly turned around, her gaze piercing as she looked at him, “What’s wrong with me?”
“Nothing.” As the second-in-command of Shrek Academy, Yi Zichen couldn’t dare to meet her gaze directly and simply bowed respectfully.
The Sea God Pavilion Master slowly walked to him, suddenly opened her arms, and gave the aged Yi Zichen an embrace.
Yi Zichen instantly became rigid all over, “Pavilion Master…”
“We’ve been together for ten thousand years, much longer than the time I spent with him. Can’t I see the feelings you harbor? But time doesn’t represent anything. I am a stubborn person, already seen as a mad scientist ten thousand years ago. In truth, I no longer possess a heart, yet in my mind, there is only the imprint of that figure. In fact, I’m not truly human. Zichen, you really should go and find your own happiness. There are three words that I have never said to anyone in my life, including him. But I really want to say them to you.”
“No, don’t say it.” Yi Zichen suddenly said loudly, then abruptly held the Sea God Pavilion Master tightly, his eyes reddening.
With a flash of silver light, his arms were empty, the Sea God Pavilion Master had already appeared behind him, “Perhaps, in one aspect we’re alike, that’s our stubbornness. If I hadn’t met him first and met someone as stubborn as you instead, perhaps… But in this world, is there really such a thing as ‘perhaps’?”
With a self-mocking laugh, she silently drifted away, leaving only Yi Zichen behind with a somewhat vacant gaze.
It took a long while before his vacant gaze turned into an ineffable smile, “Ten thousand years, and still not seeing through it! Pavilion Master, oh Pavilion Master, never say you’re sorry to me, those three words don’t belong to you. You’ve never owed anyone anything. I like you simply because you are you, for no other reason. Just liking you is enough. It’s this fondness that has supported me for so long. In fact, this is quite fine, being able to see you often, I’m already very blessed. To like someone, a spiritual connection is enough. After all, no matter how advanced your technology gets, you can’t make me stop liking you, can you?”
At this point, a rich smile emerged on his face, ten thousand years, what’s there not to let go? Now, seeing the Academy thriving, he was already very content.
The pitch-black night descended silently over Shrek City. Only the massive Eternal Tree stood at the very center of the city, emitting a faint green halo.
The gentle life energy bloomed outwards, giving a sense of hazy beauty.
Today, Sea God’s Lake was not calm, on the usually placid surface of the lake, several small boats had already quietly sailed in. Right at the central position between the Eternal Tree and Shrek Academy’s Main Teaching Building, the surface of the lake emitted a soft radiance, covering a large area around it, making every detail on the lake surface visible.
Those boats slowly arranged themselves around the area covered by the light, facing towards the direction of the glow.
On one of the larger boats, stood many people. The most eye-catching figure among them had long blue hair.
He wore a white, simple long robe fittingly, his long hair draped behind his head, hands clasped behind his back, his face wearing a faint smile.
If there were star-chasing fans here, they’d definitely recognize him as the Song God, Master Le, who had disappeared for a long time. And standing on either side of him were the Sea God Pavilion Master wearing a mask and Elder Yi.
Although their boat was the largest, there were only a dozen or so people standing on it, their auras restrained, yet every one of them a God level strong.
