Chapter 1244 -1244: Why Are There Seven Freaks?
Just before the start of this session of Sea God’s Luck Matchmaking Assembly, a shocking announcement was made. It declared that the selection of Shrek’s Seven Monsters would be announced at the same time as the conclusion of the matchmaking. This decision truly took all the inner court disciples by surprise. It was so sudden, without the slightest forewarning. The abruptness of this decision caught many off-guard. Especially since some of the competitive candidates weren’t even at the academy! Then, could those not present in the academy be among the chosen?
Many others felt the same unease as Zheng Longjiang deep inside.
Retreating to the side, Zheng Longjiang’s gaze unconsciously drifted towards the distant shore, where Lan Xuanyu stood shoulder to shoulder with Gu Yuena, Bai Xiuxiu, and Tang Wulin. Seeing the strength Lan Xuanyu had displayed when facing challenges just a moment ago, Zheng Longjiang already had a hunch that Xuanyu would hardly miss out on being one of this session’s Seven Monsters.
At that moment, Tang Wulin was on the far left, followed by Lan Xuanyu, Gu Yuena, and Bai Xiuxiu. The extraordinary phenomena that Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena had caused earlier had already shocked everyone. Now, seeing them again, everyone’s minds were filled with various thoughts.
Undoubtedly, this pair must be contributing to Lan Xuanyu’s score. Especially since some people, through special channels, already knew Tang Wulin’s identity. The nobility of his identity can be imagined, and he is closely related to Lan Xuanyu.
It was not only Zheng Longjiang who realized that Lan Xuanyu could be one of the selection; many others saw it too.
The Sea God Pavilion Master calmly scanned the inner court disciples on the shore and said in a deep voice, “Inner Court disciples of Shrek Academy, line up on the lake’s surface.”
Following her command, dozens of inner court male and female disciples took off into the air, returning above the surface of Sea God’s Lake. Soul Power surged and vibrant colors filled the air. Each exhibited their Martial Soul, levitating above the surface of Sea God’s Lake, supported by their Soul Powers.

Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu did the same. Rising into the air, they bid farewell to Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena, walking hand in hand across the waves and quietly reached the lake’s surface. Behind them, the other members of the Thirty-Three Skywing silently gathered together, arranging themselves neatly around the two as their leaders.
Just as Lan Xuanyu had anticipated, Tang Yuge didn’t go far. Though she must have been humiliated earlier, the matter of the Shrek Seven Monsters was of great importance. Besides, she was already confirmed as one of the Shrek Seven Monsters; how could she distance herself and let her teammates face all this alone?
Following Lan Xuanyu’s gesture, he stood at the center of the first row of Thirty-Three Skywing, with Bai Xiuxiu on his left and Tang Yuge on his right. To the left of Bai Xiuxiu were Qian Lei and Lan Mengqin, while Yuanen Huihui and Liu Feng were to the right of Tang Yuge.
Tang Yuge did not even glance at Yuanen Huihui, and at that moment, Yuanen Huihui was also nervous, not daring to look at her! The atmosphere between the two was clearly odd.
Indeed, the Thirty-Three Skywing had a significant number of members. In recent thousands of years, no session has ever seen so many inner court disciples at the same time. The other inner court disciples who came to participate in the Sea God’s Luck Matchmaking Assembly barely numbered in the dozens. Including those who already had partners, they gathered together, totaling over a hundred.
This represented all the inner court students currently at Shrek Academy. They were the backbone of Shrek Academy.
The gaze of Sea God Pavilion Master moved over the crowd as she spoke solemnly, “The reason for announcing this during the Sea God’s Luck Matchmaking Assembly is that, comparatively, this time of the year has the largest gathering of inner court disciples. The other is to facilitate your challenges.”
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but feel surprised. For challenges? Does that mean that after the announcement of Shrek’s Seven Monsters for this session, they can be challenged?
The Sea God Pavilion Master continued, “I think many of you may find the announcement rather abrupt. The academy is suddenly declaring the new generation of Shrek Seven Monsters, catching many of you off guard. However, in truth, this is a decision that the academy has thoroughly deliberated over. Or rather, it’s something that we are compelled to do.”
“The academy has always been known for its fairness, whether it’s regarding the overall situation of the federation or to each of our disciples internally. In terms of federal affairs, the academy has consistently maintained a position of neutrality, striving for the peaceful and united development of the entire federation. Internally, we offer every student opportunities, starting from the moment of the entrance exam right through to the selection of the Shrek Seven Monsters. As long as you have the ability, you will have the chance to acquire such honor. Today is no different.”
At this point, she paused for a moment, and her words had calmed many of the uneasy students. By emphasizing fairness, the Pavilion Master was implying that the selection of the Shrek Seven Monsters would certainly not be based on identity; only those who truly excelled above others under fair conditions could become one of the Shrek Seven Monsters.
The Sea God Pavilion Master continued, “The reason for such an urgent decision is that the academy has reached a point where a decision must be made. Due to the contributions these seven students have made for the academy, and indeed for the entire federation, no other reward from the academy could suffice except for the title of Shrek Seven Monsters, which befits their stature.”
With these words, shock rippled through the crowd.
What was happening?
All here were inner court disciples and had naturally carried out various types of missions, whether missions from Sky Fighters or from the academy. Everyone had completed missions, right? But when had anyone ever heard of contributions so significant that not even the academy could reward adequately? What level of mission must that have been? Could it be that someone had saved the federation?
For a moment, the inner court disciples looked at each other, and some who were acquainted started discussing in whispers.
“Silence.” Thunder God Douluo Wang Tianyu commanded in a stern voice. The inner court disciples quieted down immediately.
The Sea God Pavilion Master went on, “That’s right, you heard correctly. Their contributions are indeed as such. So much so that even the federation had no choice but to grant one of them the reward of a level 8 Sky Fighter. You are all Sky Fighters and should understand what it means to be a level 8 Sky Fighter.”
Level 8 Sky Fighter?
There was a constant sound of sharp intakes of breath. What did this mean? Among these inner court disciples, the most outstanding were merely level 6 Sky Fighters. They had already completed countless missions, nearly the most senior among those present, on the cusp of becoming teachers!
Zheng Longjiang’s jaw dropped in astonishment. He had completed many Sky Fighter missions, but to this point, he was just a level 5 Sky Fighter! And the gulf between a level 5 and a level 8 Sky Fighter was absolutely insurmountable. Even among the Sea God Pavilion elders, there might not be many at the level 8 rank, right? How could an inner court disciple possibly achieve level 8 Sky Fighter? Such incredulity was beyond imagination.
The Sea God Pavilion Master continued, “If you think that’s all, you would be mistaken. If it were just the level of a level 8 Sky Fighter, the academy wouldn’t be without rewards to offer. The level 8 Sky Fighter is only the contribution known to the federation. There’s an even greater contribution unknown to the federation but known only to the academy. I can’t tell you the specifics at the moment, but I can assure you that everyone here, including the entire academy, even all of humanity, will benefit from it. This immense contribution cannot be matched by any other reward. Therefore, the academy has made this provisional decision.”
A male student standing in the front row suddenly said, “Pavilion Master, could you tell us what contribution to the federation warrants a level 8 Sky Fighter reward?”
