However, even in the face of such a daunting challenge, the four men still did not show even the slightest desire to retreat.

On the contrary, at this moment, the four of them all had resolute expressions on their faces, staring straight at Tang Nian.

Dai Mubai was the first to break the silence. He whispered, "Nian Nian, we chose to stay here willingly. The test of the Eight Sacred Pillars may not necessarily be a bad thing for us."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded her head slightly to show her agreement, "Niannian, Mu Bai is absolutely right. As the saying goes, 'A blessing in disguise'. This test may be a rare and excellent opportunity for us."

Hearing this, Tang Nian was about to continue to persuade everyone to return, but Haier spoke first and said, "Sir, please don't worry too much about this matter. When the time comes, I will do my best to assist them. Although the test they are undergoing is to help you complete the task of inheriting the throne of Yama God, in the end, they can't completely replace you."

"If you trust me, when you are engaged in a fierce battle with the Nether Snake King, I will step forward at the most critical moment and do my best to protect them and ensure that they will not be in danger of their lives. However, my ability is limited to these four people. As for you, as the true inheritor of the throne of Yama God, you still have to rely on yourself to face the challenge. I am powerless and cannot stop you."

After hearing these words, Tang Nian felt relieved and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, she was the one who brought everyone here, and deep down in her heart she naturally didn't want to see any of them encounter any accident.

Tang Nian was well aware of the power of the Netherworld Snake King, but he also understood that Haier was a level 99 Ultimate Douluo and his strength should not be underestimated.

With Haier's protection, Tang Nian firmly believed that Dai Mubai and others would not fall into a life-and-death situation.

Now that things have come to this, she can finally feel at ease. As long as they are safe and sound, then for her, there is nothing to be afraid of.

However, just as Haier's voice gradually faded away, Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyebrows were uncontrollably wrinkled together. Her bright eyes stared straight at Haier, her face full of anxiety, and she couldn't wait to ask, "Master Haier, according to what you just said, Nian Nian's identity is so critical and important. Since you already have the powerful strength to protect the four of us, why can't you help Nian Nian as well? Isn't her personal life and safety worthy of your more concern and attention?"

Hearing Ning Rongrong's earnest question, Haier couldn't help but take a deep breath. His eyes became a little complicated. He silently looked around at everyone present, and then slowly said, "Regarding this matter, it is not something I can completely control and decide. All I can do is to save the lives of the four of you. I have no other way."

At this time, Tang Nian, who had been standing quietly by the side, nodded slightly to show his understanding, and then said softly, "Thank you very much for your honesty, Lord Haier. If it really comes to a critical moment, I implore you to take good care of them."

When Haier heard this, he immediately straightened his chest and answered solemnly, "Sir Heir, please rest assured. Since I have made a promise to you, I will definitely do it. As the saying goes, a gentleman's word is as good as a promise. A promise is worth a thousand gold and I will never break it." His voice was loud and firm, as if this oath was as unshakable as a mountain.

Tang Nian quietly stared at Haier, who had an extremely determined expression in front of him, with an indescribable gratitude surging in his heart.

She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a warm and sincere smile, and then nodded slightly to indicate that she understood what he meant.

At the same time, her eyes, bright as stars, revealed her deep trust and respect for Haier without any concealment.

Haier looked around at everyone around him, then said calmly, "It's getting late today, you should go and rest early. Tomorrow morning, Ramos will personally start special training for you, so remember not to be late."

Hearing this, everyone from Shrek Academy bowed to Haier and said in unison, "Thank you!" Then they followed Natasha and left.

Natasha brought everyone to the second floor, where there was an extremely spacious reception room.

As soon as entering this space, everyone is attracted by its luxurious and grand layout.

Natasha stopped, turned around and said to everyone, "You can choose and use any bedroom on the second floor as you like."

After a brief pause, she turned her head and looked at Tang Nian who was standing beside her, and said respectfully: "Sir, please follow me to the room specially prepared for you."

Tang Nian was stunned when she heard this. She had never thought that she could not live with other people from Shrek Academy. With a frown on her face, she said, "There are so many rooms on the second floor. I can just find one to rest in. You don't need to worry about it."

Natasha seemed a little hesitant after hearing this, but she finally sighed softly, slowly loosened her originally tense lips, and said, "In this case, then let's do as the inheritor said. If you need anything, just call me anytime. Well, I'll take my leave now." After that, Natasha saluted to Tang Nian, turned around and left.

After Natasha left, everyone rushed forward like a tide and surrounded Tang Nian in an instant.

Dai Mubai was the first to ask, "Niannian, tell us quickly, how did you come to this mysterious place?"

Zhu Zhuqing at the side also followed up with another question, "I was completely unable to sense the specific aura of Lord Haier just now. Nian Nian, tell me honestly, how powerful is Lord Haier? After all, he can so brazenly claim that he can protect all of us from the ferocious beast that lived for 200,000 years. He must be no ordinary person, right?"

At this time, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but express her curiosity and interrupted, "Yes, Nian Nian, who is that Natasha who suddenly appeared and disappeared without a trace just now? And I find it very strange that compared to that Lord Haier, she is a little too respectful to you."
