Ye Xinglan and the other Shrek students were wary of the man standing silently by the side; The man Wu Zhankong called as 'Lord Law Enforcer' . Judging from Wu Zhangkong's respectful tone, this man was powerful and probably had a lot of authority inside the Star Luo Empire, but he didn't do anything, nor did he speak a single word .

Not having the time to think about it too much, Ye Xinglan continued to help Wu Zhangkong . Though, despite their efforts and Xu Lizhi's support, they weren't able to do much other than cleaning Elder Cai's wounds and bandaging her up; The poison She Meixiao left in Elder Cai's body was much too strong for them to handle .

Wu Zhangkong and Ye Xinglan used up most of their Soul Power within minutes, while the others tried their best to somehow help them or keep watch on the vicinity lest they meet unfavorable circ.u.mstances .

Another while later, Wu Zhangkong stopped his efforts and heaved a relieved sigh . Ye Xinglan also backed off, but with a more uncertain expression . "Teacher Wu, is this really enough?" The latter just nodded and replied with a calm tone . "There is nothing more that we can do with our strength . Elder Cai has to resist the poison on her own . She is rather stable, so there is nothing to worry; Time will sort things out from now on . "

His words calmed the Shrek students down considerably . Although they weren't exactly fond of Elder Cai, she was still a senior to them and also the one that brought them here . Ignoring them, Wu Zhangkong turned around to face the Law Enforcement General and bowed to him . "I apologize to Lord Law Enforcer for the wait and thank you for you patience . "

"There is no need to thank me . Wu Zhangkong, was it? Tell me what happened here . " The Law Enforcement General's tone was cold and stoic . He didn't even spare Elder Cai or the students a single glance and only looked at Wu Zhangkong with a condescending expression .

Not daring to take any chances with the situation, Wu Zhangkong began recounting the events that happened today and what lead to the clash between Elder Cai and She Meixiao . " . . . Because of this, the city was impeded by the aftermath of their clash . We have done our best to insure the safety of the citizens and I can saftely say that no one was heavily injured, Sir . "

The Law Enforment General nodded lightly, still with the same expression, but his gaze seemed somewhat more appreciative of Wu Zhangkong . "You knew the evil Soul Master beforehand? And even an Elder from Shrek Academy wasn't their match?"

"Madam She isn't an evil Soul Master per se; She is the Vice-Leader of the organisation Daedalus and a member of their headquarters on the Douluo Continent . She came to the Star Luo Continent at the same time as we did . " Wu Zhangkong quickly clarified as lying in front of an Law Enforcer in the Star Luo Empire would definitely be the easiest way to get himself killed .

The Law Enforcement General nodded once again, though with a small frown on his face . "What is their strength exactly?" Wu Zhangkong frowned lightly and answered . "I am not entirely sure . From the strength shown in this fight, she should be at least a Hyper Douluo . "

The frown on the stoic Law Enforcer's face deepened, but he didn't say anything as Wu Zhangkong continued with a solemn expression . "I am also aware that Madam She is a Four Word Battle Armour Master . " This time, the Law Enforcer's expression tensed considerably and he flinched lightly . "Are you sure about that?"

"I was able to confirm it with my own two eyes during the crossing to the Star Luo Continent a few months ago . We were attacked by a horde of aquatic Soul beasts, as well as two 100 . 000-years-old beasts and a Great Beast . Madam She personally fought the Great Beast back . " Wu Zhangkong replied solemnly .

The Law Enforcement General remained silent for a moment frowning with a tense expression before turning away and making a call with his Soul Communicator . He had created a small sound isolating barrier around himself, so Wu Zhangkong couldn't listen in and patiently waited .

A few moments later, the General turned back to him, now with the same stoic expression as at the beginning and spoke in a cold tone . "From what you said earlier, this incident is interpreted as Shrek Academy being at fault as the aggressor . You are expected to pay for the repairs on the city grounds in full . "

Wu Zhangkong frowned, but he honestly expected something like this to happen as She Meixiao wasn't as easy to deal with as their small delegation from Shrek Academy, thus he could answer calmly . "I am in no position to make a decision on this part and will have to report back to His Eminence Sea G.o.d's Pavilion Master . "

"Do as you need . The Sea G.o.d's Pavilion's Master may contact the administrative bureau of Star Luo City directly if there are any questions . At the decree of His Highness, the Emperor, punishment shall be abolished as long as the fines are paid in full . " The General once more spoke with the same stoic tone, obviously following orders of whoever he had just called .

He glanced at Elder Cai and the students, remembering their faces before turning back to Wu Zhangkong . "You may leave for now . The administrative bureau will be expecting the Sea G.o.d's Pavilion Master's reply within 10 days as of now . "

"Understood . " Wu Zhangkong bowed lightly, then turned towards the Shrek students and mentioned for them to leave as he went to carefully pick up Elder Cai . Seeing them leave, the General walked inside the city where more of the Law Enforcement Squadron were already stationed .

----------------

Meanwhile, in another part of the city, close to the outskirts, She Meixiao, Sheng Feilong, Huang Jialong and Yuanen Yehui had just boarded a taxi and were comfortably travelling to the next city over .

Even following along the highways, the trip lasted for over two hours, time that Sheng Feilong and Huang Jialong used for meditation; They were already used to travelling like this and were perfectly fine with meditating during the ride as long as there wasn't too many disturbances .

Yuanen Yehui tried to do the same, though struggling with entering a meditative state due to the rough ride compared to when she meditates in a calm environment . From time to time, She Meixiao would give her some tips on how to calm herself despite the circ.u.mstances and by the time they reached the next city, Yuanen Yehui was able to meditate for about half an hour in total .

The four of them were once again in the outskirts of a small city and now travelling through by foot . This time, though, it didn't take long for them to reach their destination as this branch of Daedalus was rather close to the city .

They were stopped at the entrance as they weren't expected for today, but once She Meixiao made clear who she is, the guard became startled and rushed to inform his superiors of their arrival . Just a few moments later, someone came up to greet them and lead them inside .

The branchmaster of this base was already waiting for them inside a meeting room, though clearly didn't expect She Meixiao . He apologized profusely for not greeting them earlier, but She Meixiao dismissed it and calmly explained the reason why they were already here instead of when they were scheduled to come .

She Meixiao directly started her inspection afterwards, which the branchmaster was fine with, as he didn't have anything to hide, anyways, while Sheng Feilong and the others were lead to the training facilities as per their own wish .

This branch didn't have as many children, but there were still plenty of people to spar against and compare notes with . Yuanen Yehui was a bit awkward at first, while Huang Jialong and Sheng Feilong easily mingled with everyone; Many already knew Huang Jialong, like with the last branch, while Sheng Feilong was also rather well known by now .

Seeing the others spar with the people from this branch so naturally, Yuanen Yehui opened up to it as well and soon started competing with the others as well .

Like this, a few hours pa.s.sed . Sheng Feilong, Huang Jialong and Yuanen Yehui became friends with most of the people and eagerly fought them, talked and compared notes with them . She Meixiao returned together with the banchmaster after the inspection was finished .

They stayed for the night and left early the next morning, as usual . Sheng Feilong and the others were used to this, while Yuanen Yehui also didn't have a problem with waking up early . They were waiting for the train in the nearby city when She Meixiao spoke to them . "It seems like, that for the next year, we won't be bothered and can focus on the inspection . Huang Jialong, I'd like for you to accompany me during the inspection some more . Feilong and Yehui, you can do as you please . "
