There was no time to wallow in self-criticism as Tang Wulin immediately turned to Yuanen Yehui, and said,

"Return to the left path!

"

At this point, the mood among the spectators in the Battle God Hall had completely shifted.

Ling Zichen was teleported back to back to the Battle God Hall amid a flash of light, and her mecha stood resolutely on the spot, but she was already unconscious inside it.

The members of the Shrek Academy hurriedly rushed over to the mecha, but they were unable to open it due to its powerful self-defense system.

They had witnessed the battle between Ling Zichen and Mo Zihong, so they knew that she had suffered spiritual trauma.

"What do we do?

" Xie Xie asked with furrowed brows.

A'Ruheng replied,

"If her mind has been damaged, then there's nothing we can do aside from allow her to recover on her own. The main problem is that we don't know the extent of the spiritual trauma she's suffered.

"

"She'll be alright. The system in the Battle God Arena automatically keeps tabs on the Soul Masters' vital signs, and it'll teleport them out of the plane as soon as they're in any danger, so her life definitely isn't under any threat,

" Shi Mengshan reassured.

A'Ruheng heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. They all knew that Ling Zichen was the head researcher over at the Tang Sect, and it would be a huge problem if something were to happen to her.

In contrast, the Battle Gods were feeling a lot more relaxed and triumphant.

All of them had been astonished by the sight of Tang Wulin and Sima Jinchi joining forces to kill the Dark Demonic Dragon, and for the first time, they had felt that their victory was perhaps not completely assured.

However, this turn of events had allowed them to recover some confidence.

It was clear that Ling Zichen was the weakest link in the Shrek Academy camp, and Mo Zihong had taken advantage of this opportunity to transform the battle into a four-on-five affair. Regardless of how powerful the remaining four members of the Shred Academy camp were, there was a Limit Douluo and a Limit Douluo level soul fusion skill among the Battle God. Furthermore, they had a strategic advantage over the Shrek Academy camp, so the battle was fully in their control again.

As soon as Ling Zichen was teleported out of the Battle God Arena, everyone inside the small plane was notified of her elimination, and the Battle Gods immediately sprang into action.

Nangong Yi crossed the river in the blink of an eye, and it was very easy for him to do so as the soul beasts in that section of the river had all been killed by Yuanen Yehui.

At the same time, Long Tianwu and Su Mengjun also rushed to the river as fast as they could, charging toward the starting point of the Shrek Academy camp from the left path.

It was clear that the three Battle Gods had the same target in mind. Due to the distress signal sent out on the middle path, everyone from the Shrek Academy camp had been drawn there, thus leaving the two side paths unguarded.

Furthermore, the Shrek Academy camp was still reeling from losing one of its members, and it was imperative for the Battle Gods to take advantage of this.

Even more importantly, they could see that Guan Yue had already arrived on the middle path!

"Wait, come back!

" Tang Wulin had just instructed Yuanen Yehui and Xu Xiaoyan to go back to the left path, but he immediately changed his mind.

"We have to get back to the starting point and guard it at all costs,

" he continued.

At the same time, he sent a beam of light flying up into the air with a flick of his wrist, using the same SOS signal flare that Ling Zichen had before.

This was undoubtedly to alert Sima Jinchi of the situation.

In the instant that he had instructed Yuanen Yehui to return to the left path, he suddenly realized that it was quite possibly too late for that. If their opponents were charging at full speed toward their starting point, then by the time Yuanen Yehui returned to the left path, she would've most likely already passed them by. Once that happened, the starting point would be completely vulnerable.

At a time like this, there was only one place where they could set up a complete defense, and that was the starting point. Furthermore, the middle path was the closest to the starting point, so the best option was to get back to the starting point along this path.

He had chosen to release his signal flare as he wanted to reunite with Sima Jinchi, which would give him a major boost in overall power. In addition to that, there would be no way for Sima Jinchi to stop Long Tianwu and Su Mengjun on his own on the right path, so it was much better for him to reunite with Tang Wulin. If worse came to worst, then they would just have to engage the Battle Gods in a final showdown in their own starting point.

During this short period of time, Tang Wulin had made a series of rapid decisions. He knew that his side was currently at a disadvantage. They were inferior in overall power to begin with, and they had turned the tables slightly by killing the Dark Demonic Dragon, but Ling Zichen's elimination placed them in an even worse situation than when they had begun.

At a time like this, he didn't even have the mental capacity to think about Ling Zichen's condition as he had to focus his entire attention on the battle at hand.

Yuanen Yehui and Xu Xiaoyan quickly rushed toward the starting point, but Tang Wulin couldn't go with them as he had to wait for Sima Jinchi first.

However, right at this moment, a familiar figure appeared across the river, and his heart immediately sank.

The Ski Crossing Divine Spear was a faintly glowing white color, and it wasn't as overbearing as the Divine Atlas Spear, but it seemed to somehow be one with nature.

Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue had once evaluated Guan Yue as the most well-rounded Limit Douluo. This meant that he had no particularly special traits, but it also meant that his consistency was unmatched.

Guan Yue had always been a solid performer under all circumstances. Very rarely would he pull off a miracle, but he never gave his opponents any opportunities, either.

At this moment, Guan Yue had appeared across the river, and he was accompanied by Mo Zihong, while Tang Wulin was the only one opposing them.

Sima Jinchi hadn't arrived yet, so he was going to have to face a Limit Douluo and a Hyper Douluo with ultra-powerful control abilities.

This was clearly a very uneven matchup. However, Tang Wulin wasn't fearful or hesitant in the slightest as he summoned his Golden Dragon Spear amid a flash of golden light, then pointed it directly at Guan Yue from afar.

A faint smile appeared on Guan Yue's face, and his voice was very clear as it traveled into Tang Wulin's ears.

"I didn't think that you would be able to kill the Dark Demonic Dragon so quickly; looks like you must've already planned that as I was introducing the Battle God Arena. You are certainly a glowing star of the younger generation; let me see what level your power has reached. Zihong, go to their starting point; leave everything here to me.

"

"Yes, Vice-hall Master!

" Mo Zihong rose up into the air without any hesitation and flew across the river.

Tang Wulin made no effort to stop him as he simply couldn't, due to the fact that Guan Yue's aura was locked entirely onto him.

As a Limit Douluo, Guan Yue had his own pride, and he certainly wasn't going to face a junior in a two-on-one battle with the Demonic Zither Douluo, particularly when their opponent was only a three-word battle armor master below the Limit Douluo level.

At this moment, he was appraising Tang Wulin with a strong sense of intrigue in his eyes. This young man had already created far too many miracles. Ever since Yun Ming's sacrifice, he had shouldered the immense burden left behind and led Shrek Academy's students to rebuild the academy.

Furthermore, under his leadership, the academy enjoyed a resoundingly successful enrollment day and had regained its vitality while warding off the threat of the Spirit Pagoda.

The fact that all of this had been done by a young man who wasn't even 30 years of age yet was nothing short of a miracle.

Guan Yue had a very placid personality, and he was always content to bear witness to miracles, just as he had witnessed the miraculous rise of Yung Ming.

Was this young man going to become a second Yun Ming?

Thinking back, Yun Ming had reigned supreme over the entire continent with his Divine Atlas Spear, and it was exactly because of him that Shrek Academy's influence had been elevated to a peak.

Chen Xinjie was an extremely proud character, but after challenging Yun Ming once, he never mentioned going to Shrek Academy to find Long Yeyue again; one could only imagine just how much of a shock Yun Ming had given him.
