Dai Yueheng didn't know exactly who the "he" Xi Xi spoke of was, but seeing the way her eyes instantly lit up and her shocked expression, he immediately realized he hadn't asked in vain!
Xi Xi definitely had clues!
"Xi Xi, you've seen him?!"
Dai Yueheng's voice rose a few notches due to excitement. He took a step forward and asked urgently, "Quickly tell me, where is he? What does he look like? Under what circumstances did you meet him?"
Facing Dai Yueheng's barrage of questions, Xi Xi took a deep breath and gave a concise account of her previous experience.
She omitted some unnecessary details, focusing on how the other party had gone with her to save people and how he had, with an inconceivable speed, instant-killed those seven Spirit King-level Evil Soul Masters in a flash!
"...What?! Seven Evil Soul Master Spirit Kings? Instant-killed by him alone?!"
After hearing Xi Xi's narrative, Dai Yueheng and the Supervision Team Scout beside him gasped simultaneously, their faces filled with unbelievable shock.
Although they knew the target was very strong, the intelligence Elder Xuan had provided was merely "extraordinarily talented, with strength far exceeding his peers."
They had never imagined that the other party's strength had actually reached such a terrifying level!
Those were seven Evil Soul Master Spirit Kings known for being bizarre and difficult to deal with!
Even for himself, trying to face seven Evil Soul Master Spirit Kings at once would definitely lead to a dead end.
Yet the other party could actually instant-kill them all with thunderous momentum?
Didn't that mean he was even stronger than himself?
This... was this really something a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy could do?!
Dai Yueheng now finally understood why Elder Xuan would go to such lengths, even using the name of the Sea Gods Pavilion, to recruit this boy to Shrek Academy.
This could no longer be described by the word "Genius"; he was simply a monster! A future super powerhouse!
"That's right! It's him!" Dai Yueheng's gaze became incredibly burning. He was almost a hundred percent certain that the boy Xi Xi met was the target of his mission!
Seeing Dai Yueheng's reaction, Xi Xi also nodded and agreed, "His strength is indeed worthy of the academy's high regard."
"But the problem is... he doesn't seem willing to join Shrek."
She recounted exactly what Liu Yuan had said when he refused her invitation to Dai Yueheng.
However, after hearing it, Dai Yueheng laughed with full confidence.
"Xi Xi, that's because your invitation was just empty words; he naturally wouldn't agree easily."
"The so-called lack of desire to join is nothing more than insufficient benefits!"
Dai Yueheng's tone was filled with immense confidence. He patted his chest and said, "But this time is different."
"I am representing the Sea Gods Pavilion, coming with Elder Xuan's sincerity and the generous conditions offered by the academy!"
"I believe that as long as I show our Shrek Academy's sincerity, he will definitely be moved."
"After all, no Spirit Master in this world can refuse such generous conditions! Not to mention, our Shrek Academy is far more outstanding than their Sun Moon Royal Academy!"
"I will definitely succeed!"
However... seeing Dai Yueheng's determined look, Xi Xi shook her head slightly.
Through their brief contact, she always felt that the boy was not someone who would be easily moved by fame and generous conditions.
He seemed to have his own unique code of conduct, acting entirely according to his heart.
After all, when a great merit was right before him, hadn't he pushed it onto her?
If he were someone who particularly valued fame and fortune, he wouldn't have done that.
But she didn't say much more, only giving a faint reminder, "I hope so."
Having said what needed to be said, Xi Xi didn't stay. After bidding farewell to Dai Yueheng, she turned and sped off toward Shrek Academy.
She needed to return as soon as possible to report and give all the information she had gathered today to the academy's higher-ups.
As for Dai Yueheng, after watching Xi Xi leave, the fire in his heart was completely ignited!
He glanced at the Scout beside him and gave a concise yet powerful command, "Let's go! Full speed pursuit! No matter what, we must catch up to him! Then, bring him back to Shrek Academy!"
Dai Yueheng began to rush at full speed in the direction Liu Yuan was traveling.
...
On the other side, Liu Yuan didn't know he was being targeted.
After leaving that small town, he continued to travel northward leisurely.
Since it was rare to come to this area near the Extreme North Land, he didn't travel at full speed.
He slowed his pace, admiring the scenery along the way, which was completely different from the central part of the Douluo Continent.
The sky here seemed higher and bluer, the air carried a hint of crisp coldness, and on the vast wilderness, the vegetation gradually changed from lush forests to resilient, cold-resistant coniferous forests and tundra.
This unique northern scenery made his Soul from another world feel novel and relaxed.
Consequently, the speed of his progress was actually slowed down significantly.
This gave Dai Yueheng and his companion, who were pursuing at full speed, a perfect opportunity.
Finally, two days later.
As Liu Yuan was walking along the edge of an open snow line, feeling the cold wind on his face, two small black dots rapidly approaching appeared on the distant horizon behind him.
And Dai Yueheng, who was pursuing with all his might, finally captured that iconic figure at the end of his vision!
A head of short red hair that was exceptionally prominent in the ice and snow! A boy carrying a simple pack, walking alone!
"Found him!!"
Dai Yueheng's heart leaped, and his eyes erupted with extremely excited and thrilled light!
You can wear out iron shoes in a fruitless search, only to find it by chance when you're not even looking!
Without any more hesitation, he pushed his spirit power to the limit, his speed surging again like a golden meteor as he charged toward Liu Yuan!
Finally found him!
This time, no matter what conditions you propose, I must bring you back to Shrek!
I will definitely not fail Elder Xuan's expectations!
He quickly arrived behind Liu Yuan.
With such a huge commotion suddenly appearing behind him, Liu Yuan naturally couldn't be without any awareness.
His brows twitched as he stopped his pace and looked toward the two figures behind him.
Then, he discovered the two people rushing to catch up.
Liu Yuan recognized their identity at a glance, because students of Shrek Academy were always proud of their origin, and they always bore the Shrek insignia.
But after the many previous events, Liu Yuan now only targeted Xuan Zi and not the Shrek students.
So he didn't put on airs and asked the Dai Yueheng in front of him, "Hello, may I ask if there's something you need?"
