Her rosy lips opened slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but the huge shock blocked her fiery red hair seemed to tremble slightly because of the shock, and the ends of her hair swayed gently in the wind. The beads of sweat on her forehead slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the ground, as if they were the embodiment of her inner turmoil. Ma Xiaotao clenched her fists tightly, and her knuckles turned white from the force. Her body trembled slightly, and her heart was in turmoil: "This guy Tang Lan is so resolute and fearless." "Faced with such terrible threats from the Holy Spirit Church and the Four Great Empires, he was not afraid at all and was still so heroic." "What courage and confidence! But this is too risky. What if..." She didn't dare to think further, but just stared at Tang Lan with complicated eyes, feeling mixed emotions. The students and instructors of Shrek Academy were all shocked after hearing Tang Lan's bold words. The students' curious or expectant expressions froze in an instant, and astonishment was written all over their young faces. Some students opened their mouths wide enough to fit an egg in, and their throats seemed to be choked by something, making it impossible for them to make a sound. Some students' eyes were as big as copper bells, their eyeballs almost popped out, and their faces were full of disbelief;

Some students even dropped the items they were holding onto the ground with a "clack" sound, but they were unaware of it. He just stared at Tang Lan blankly, as if he was looking at an incredible mythical figure. The instructors also stood there in a daze, their sophisticated faces unable to remain calm. An elderly mentor's hand, which was stroking his beard, stopped mid-air, and he was unaware of the pain his beard was being pulled. His eyes were full of surprise, and he thought to himself: "Is this kid just young and frivolous or does he really have such courage?" Another female teacher covered her chest, as if this was the only way to calm her violently beating heart. Her lips trembled slightly as she murmured: "This child Tang Lan is really unexpected." Some other instructors frowned, their eyes full of worry and confusion, thinking in their hearts: "How can he be so confident in the face of such a huge crisis? Does he have any hidden cards?" The entire academy fell into a shocked silence. It was as if even the air had stopped flowing. Only Tang Lan's firm and fearless voice still echoed in everyone's ears, impacting everyone's heart. The wind stopped blowing and the leaves stopped rustling. It seemed that all nature was shocked and fell into a brief silence. When Yan Shaozhe heard Tang Lan's unhesitating rejection and fearless declaration, The shock in my heart was like a raging wave that stirred up a storm on the calm lake. His original calmness and composure were instantly destroyed. His face, which was always calm and composed, as if he was in control of everything, now lost its usual calmness. His eyes were wide open, as if their eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets. His gaze, which was originally deep and wise, as if it could see through everything, was now filled with astonishment and disbelief. The corners of his mouth, which were usually slightly raised with confidence and dignity, drooped unconsciously and trembled slightly. Yan Shaozhe's lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to say something, but he was so shocked by Tang Lan's firm attitude that he didn't know where to start. His breathing became rapid and his chest heaved violently. Every breath seemed like he was trying to suppress the turmoil in his heart.

I thought to myself, "Why is Tang Lan so resolute? Doesn't he understand the interests involved?" "Or does he have deeper considerations? This is a matter of life and death, how can he be so careless?" He clenched his hands subconsciously, his knuckles turned white from the force, and his slightly trembling hands revealed his inner unrest. The veins on his forehead also bulged at this moment. Like a winding earthworm, jumping back and forth, his emotions were fluctuating violently. Yan Shaozhe, who is always known for his calmness and rationality, At this moment, he was also disturbed and confused by Tang Lan's decision. Seeing this, Tang Lan explained: "I just want the people from the Holy Spirit Church and the Four Great Empires to kill me!" As soon as these words were spoken, the shock of everyone present reached its peak. Yan Shaozhe's eyes, which were already wide open, were almost bulging, and the muscles on his face were twitching uncontrollably. It was as if I had heard the craziest words in the world. His tall and straight body couldn't help but sway, and his usually calm aura became disordered. As soon as these words were spoken, the shock of everyone present reached its peak. "This... How is this possible? Is Tang Lan crazy? He is simply pushing himself to death!" "That's right. This is simply costing one's life! The Holy Spirit Church and the Four Great Empires are such terrifying existences. How can Tang Lan be so dismissive?" "How could he have such a crazy idea? Doesn't he know what this means? It means endless pursuit and deadly danger. If he is not careful, he will be doomed!" One of Shrek's instructors also widened his eyes and shouted in disbelief: "Tang Lan, don't mess around. This is not a joke! The Holy Spirit Church is insidious and cunning, and the four empires are powerful. You are just trying to hit a rock with an egg!" Another person also said anxiously: "Kid, you are playing with your life!" "Entering the Sea God Pavilion will obviously keep you safe, why did you so impulsively choose this thorny path?" "Hey, Tang Lan, what are you thinking? This is not the time to be brave, you have to think about your future and the academy!" "Tang Lan, you can't do this, it's too dangerous! We don't want to see anything happen to you." "This is simply courting death. Is Tang Lan confused? This decision is too unwise!" "Nonsense, this is just nonsense! How many people will be worried about you if you make this decision? How much trouble will it bring to the academy? Think about it carefully!" For a moment, Shrek Academy was filled with voices of shock and worry. Everyone was shocked by Tang Lan's bold decision and was at a loss as to what to do. The scene fell into chaos and panic. After hearing Tang Lan's earth-shattering words, Jiang Nannan was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze. Her originally lively eyes were now wide open, and her eyeballs seemed to be about to pop out of their sockets. The small mouth opened wide, forming a perfect "O" shape, big enough to fit a duck egg. Her face turned pale in an instant, without a trace of blood, as fragile and transparent as a piece of white paper. Jiang Nannan covered her mouth tightly with her slender fingers, trying to suppress the exclamation that was about to come out. However, her slightly trembling fingers betrayed her extreme fear.
