Chapter 157 Goodbye Tang Wulin

After entering Shrek City, the high-speed train gradually slowed down and stopped at the station an hour later.

Shrek City is the number one city on the continent, and this is reflected in all aspects.

Take this soul guide train station for example, it is much larger than the soul guide train stations in Tiandou City and Donghai City.

Shrek City, located in the center of the continent, is undoubtedly the transportation hub of the entire continent!
Among all the big cities, only Mingdu, where the federal headquarters is located, can barely compete with it.

After Tang Wulin and Xie Xie got off the train, they kept looking at the decoration of the station.

The huge dome, the simple architectural style, and the stone carvings can be seen everywhere.

Every detail reveals the heritage of this city.

Perhaps because she was the only girl in the team, Xu Xiaoyan behaved very quietly. She held the two straps of her backpack with both hands and followed Wu Changkong silently.

“Teacher Wu, Teacher Wu, where are we going now?”

Xie Xie asked impatiently.

Wu Zhangkong’s expression was the same as usual, still cold.

But the complexity in his eyes could not be concealed.

Ever since the deal with Qiangu Qitian, the hidden injuries that had accumulated in his body for many years were completely healed. After a period of recuperation, he directly recovered to his peak level.

During these three years, his soul power has only increased by a few levels, and Wu Zhangkong is now only a soul saint of level 72.

This speed of cultivation would be considered genius if it happened to someone else.

but–

Wu Changkong is one of the candidates for succession to the leader of Poseidon Pavilion, a genius among geniuses.

Even a fallen genius.

It’s really too much for him to improve his soul power by less than two levels every year.

What troubled Wu Changkong was no longer his body, but his heart.

This time I came to Shrek to resolve my own emotional issues.

“Go to the hotel first.”

Wu Changkong’s answer was brief.

Then, he found a small hotel not far from the Soul Guide Train Station and asked for three rooms.

This hotel looks quite old. The exterior walls are a bit mottled and the building is made entirely of stone and wood.

The hotel is quaint and the interior is fairly clean. The facilities are simple.

A bed, two bedside tables, a wardrobe, a desk, a chair. A bathroom that can only accommodate two people standing at the same time. That’s all. The walls are white and the view outside the window is the soul guide train station.

It is hard to imagine that this kind of roadside inn decoration style from the Spirit Hall period 20,000 years ago would appear in this most prosperous city.

The allocation of the three rooms was simple: Tang Wulin and Xie Xie had one, Wu Zhangkong had one by himself, and Xu Xiaoyan, as a girl, had a separate room.

“Wulin, why do you think Teacher Wu is so stingy? He earns a lot in the academy, right? Besides, he is a battle armor master! You didn’t see how gorgeous his battle armor was. A soul master who can make battle armor must be very rich!”

Xie Xie lay on the soft bed, rolling around and complaining.

To be honest, if it wasn’t for the agreement to follow Wu Changkong’s arrangements, Xie Xie would definitely take his good friend Tang Wulin to experience the most luxurious hotel in Shrek City.

Tang Wulin didn’t care much about the accommodation environment. He smiled and said, “It’s fine as long as we can live here. Teacher Wu will cover the food and accommodation expenses anyway.”

What he cares about is eating.

As the Golden Dragon King’s bloodline was unlocked, his appetite became bigger and bigger. If it weren’t for Mu Chen, the president of the Blacksmith Association, being his master, all the money Tang Wulin earned would probably have been spent on food.

“Alright, alright, I’ll get some sleep first. I’ve been sitting on the soul train for so long, I feel like I’m going to die.”

Soon, Xie Xie began to breathe evenly.

Seeing that Xie Xie fell asleep, Tang Wulin did not disturb him, but quietly left the door.

He still has important things to do before the exam.

That is – breakthrough!
The breakthrough here was not a breakthrough in soul power, but the blood seal of the Golden Dragon King on his body.

After unlocking the first layer of seal, Tang Wulin gained some of the abilities of the Golden Dragon King, allowing golden scales to cover his right arm, doubling the strength of his right arm. The defense of his right arm could also easily block the soul power attacks of soul masters of the same level.

Not only that, after activating the power of the Golden Dragon King’s bloodline, the right hand was transformed into a golden dragon claw on the basis of the original golden scales. The power of the right hand was doubled on the basis of the golden scale state. It consumed a lot of soul power. It also had the crushing property that was indestructible. Any hard object could be attacked by the golden dragon claw.

When practicing with Wu Changkong, even Wu Changkong, who was a Soul Saint, did not dare to withstand the attack!
Of course, there are also differences among players who use cheats.

The indestructible golden dragon claw may not be truly indestructible.

Tang Wulin’s martial spirit was not strong, and most of his current battles relied on the abilities granted to him by the Golden Dragon King’s bloodline.

Therefore, he was also looking forward to seeing what kind of changes the Golden Dragon King’s bloodline would bring to him after breaking through the second seal.

……

Qiangu Qitian went out early.

Today is the day he is going to send Gu Yuena to school.

A few days ago, Qiangu Qitian gave Gu Yuena two choices.

One is to go through the back door. Qiangu Qitian goes directly to find Yali and let Gu Yuena become a registered disciple.

The second is to take the exam yourself.

Although Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King, is not a healing soul master, as a controller of elements, she can perform the most basic holy light magic with ease.

This is also the biggest difference between Gu Yuena’s martial soul and the Eternal Heaven Martial Soul.

The moment Gu Yuena’s martial soul awakened, she was able to directly control the seven basic elements. There was no need for her to awaken the dragon soul after her promotion like Qiangu Qitian did to control this power.

This means that Gu Yuena in the early stage had more abilities than Qiangu Qitian.

However, the Panlong Stick, which sacrificed its development speed, has a greater degree of control over elemental power than the Silver Dragon King.

If they were in the same space, the elemental power that Qiangu Qitian could mobilize would absolutely suppress Gu Yuena.

Of course, even if becoming Yali’s disciple doesn’t work, Qiangu Qitian will not allow Gu Yuena to become Yun Ming’s disciple.

Being involved with Yali and being involved with Yun Ming are two different things.

When hearing that someone wants to take Yali as their master, outsiders’ first reaction must be the disciple of Holy Spirit Douluo, and then Shrek; but the latter must first think of Shrek, not Qingtian Douluo.

The bond between Yun Ming and Shrek Academy is too strong.

Famous in the mainland for decades, he has already become the spiritual symbol of the contemporary Shrek Academy.

In the original novel, if Yun Ming hadn’t died, Shrek Academy would never have fallen into silence.

Even if all the students died, as long as Yun Ming was alive, the federal government would personally allocate funds to rebuild Shrek. There was no need to wait until Tang Wulin’s generation grew up.

This is the role of a leader.

When the leader of an organization dies, if they want to rise again, they must wait for the next person who can carry the banner to appear.

Otherwise, the organization will gradually decline.

Gu Yuena finally chose the latter.

If it weren’t for her desire to comprehend the Ancient Tree of Life, Gu Yuena wouldn’t want to have anything to do with Shrek Academy.

The reason was simple: she hated Tang San.

And today’s Shrek Academy can be considered as the disciples of the God King Tang.

Asking her to worship the other party’s disciples as her master? Are they worthy?
Qiangu Qitian certainly didn’t think so much about it.

His idea was also very simple, to destroy Shrek.

The destruction envisioned by Qiangu Qitian is not on the physical level, but the more terrifying spiritual one.

Although Shrek City has a history of nearly 20,000 years, its current size has little to do with this history.

In the past hundred years alone, the entire Shrek City has expanded outward by an administrative district.

During this period, the remaining eight outer city administrative districts that had already been built were also renovated and maintained.

Although it is the first city in the federation, what the Sun-Moon Federation Government fears is never a city, but the so-called “Shrek Spirit” that has been formed after more than 20,000 years of development.

It is already abnormal for an academy to become an organization.

An academy should act like an academy. The current Shrek Academy is meddling in politics and trying to influence the structure of the continent. Does it still look like an academy?

Within the Sun-Moon Federation Government, more than a quarter of the people identify with Shrek Academy, while the vast majority of the rest are indifferent to Shrek Academy.

And those who hate it account for less than one-tenth.

This is a terrifying proportion.

In order to eliminate the threat posed by this spirit, the Sun and Moon Federal Government has done a good job.

After the Federation’s secret guidance of public opinion over the years, the image of Shrek Academy in the hearts of the people is no longer sacred, and there are frequent reports of Shrek Academy students breaking the law and discipline.

The vast majority of ordinary people are both in awe and jealous of soul masters who possess extraordinary powers, and when they behave recklessly, they naturally feel dissatisfied.

But in the original timeline, this good plan was ruined by the legendary Spirit Transmission Tower’s master, Qiangu Dongfeng.

No one expected that the leader of the Spirit Pagoda organization would join forces with the Holy Spirit Church to use two god-killing bombs to directly kill Shrek.

The legendary explosion-resistant King Yunming was left with only a wisp of soul in this horrific explosion.

This decision is stupid.

Originally, the public’s favorable impression of Shrek Academy was steadily declining, but after this explosion, all previous dissatisfaction was wiped out, and everyone turned to sympathy for Shrek Academy.

Shrek, with its immortal spirit, is rebuilt again under the leadership of Tang Wulin, the son of the legendary Sea God Tang San.

The instigator, Qiangu Dongfeng, eventually died on the battlefield in the far north, and the Qiangu clan fell into decline.

In Qiangu Qitian’s opinion, Shrek City must not be destroyed.

Because in his eyes, these are already his (future) property.

Shrek City?

It sounds very rustic.

Let’s call it Chuanling City from now on. It just so happens that Chuanling Academy can be rebuilt directly on the site of the original Shrek Academy.

What? The Spirit Pagoda was founded by Huo Yuhao?
Didn’t Huo Yuhao’s ancestor die long ago? How dare you, a dog, pretend to be an ancestor? You deserve death!

Qiangu Ming carried Qiangu Qitian and after picking up Gu Yuena outside Leng Yaozhu’s villa, they drove towards Shrek Academy.

Today is the day when Shrek Academy is recruiting students.

As soon as Gu Yuena got in the car, she naturally hugged Qiangu Qitian’s arm and leaned her head on his shoulder.

“Have you told your teacher that you are going to Shrek?”

When Leng Yaozhu was mentioned, Gu Yuena straightened up and stared at Qiangu Qitian with a strange look.

Qiangu Qitian felt a little uneasy when he was looked at, so he frowned and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“When I said I wanted to study at Shrek Academy, the teachers’ reaction was very calm. They didn’t object, but just reminded me to be careful. But when I said you would send me to Shrek Academy, as soon as I mentioned your name, her mood became unusually low.”

Gu Yuena explained, and then asked,
“Did you do something to the teacher?”

Gu Yuena still has deep feelings for Leng Yaozhu. After all, she is both a teacher and a mother to her.

In the future, there is a high possibility that we will share a husband…

Qiangu Qitian smiled slightly:
“Nothing, I just explained some things to the teacher. I’ll be fine once she comes to her senses.”

Looking into Gu Yuena’s strong eyes, Qiangu Qitian didn’t dare to tell her that he had eaten Leng Yaozhu.

Even though the other party begged him to eat it…

“It’s better if nothing happens. If I find out, you have done something to let your teacher down, humph.” Gu Yuena shook her little pink fist in front of Qiangu Qitian as a threat.

Qiangu Qitian grabbed Gu Yuena’s fist and held it tightly in his hand.

“Don’t worry, she is my teacher too.”

Qiangu Qitian said the last three words very playfully.

An hour later, Qiangu Qitian and Gu Yuena arrived at the enrollment office of Shrek Academy.

At this time, there were an unusually large number of people coming to Shrek Academy to register. At a glance, there were nearly a thousand people.

Among these nearly a thousand people, only about a hundred were finally admitted.

Among these one hundred people, no more than half will be able to graduate from the External College of Shrek Academy. To be precise, only about twenty will remain.

Even fewer people can enter the inner courtyard.

Qiangu Qitian no longer thought about taking the back door into Shrek Academy.

He accompanied Gu Yuena and slowly lined up to register.

At this time, an anxious voice came from behind:
“Phew, that was a close call. Wulin, Xiaoyan, luckily we made it in time.”

Qiangu Qitian looked back and saw, oh, it’s an old acquaintance!

The people who came were none other than Tang Wulin, Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan.

Just now, Tang Wulin officially broke through the second seal.

Unlocked his first blood and energy soul ring.

The skill granted to him by the soul ring is called Golden Dragon Body.

The golden dragon body can strengthen the bloodline soul ring in a short period of time, and the places covered by golden scales on the body will release golden light, and the blood power will increase violently. It is a powerful auxiliary ability that can comprehensively improve one’s own strength, speed, attack, and defense capabilities.

Among them, the improvement in strength is the greatest.

You know, Tang Wulin’s strength is already outstanding.

Moreover, this skill also has a very terrifying passive effect – dominance.

When Qiangu Qitian was looking at the three people, Tang Wulin and the other two also recognized Qiangu Qitian.

Qiangu Qitian smiled slightly: “Hello.”

His gaze did not linger on Tang Wulin and Xie Xie for too long, but instead fell on Xu Xiaoyan behind him.

“You, hello.”

Tang Wulin greeted Qiangu Qitian verbally, but his eyes were already deeply attracted to Gu Yuena who was beside Qiangu Qitian.
