Chapter 27: Onward to Shrek (1/2)

”Sheesh, you sure know how to go all out.”

Xie Xie came running up to Tang Wulin, who still had Gu Yue in his arm. He swiftly made sure she was alright and then turn his head to the hole.

”Crap! Are they still alive!” Exclaimed Xie Xie as he was peering down the giant hole Tang Wulin made.

”They are.” Said Tang Wulin.

He rolled his eyes at Xie Xie overreaction. He subsequently started walking away, causing Xie Xie to hastily follow him.

”Halt! Young man don't you think you were too overbearing on my disciples!”

Zhang Zhenpeng was shocked by the events that continued to happen but then was filled with rage.

These were his disciples, and he didn't even know if they were alive after discovering the hole in place of their body.

”Don't blame us for being overbearing when your disciple wants to come at us with a soul fusion skill.”

Xie Xie, not one to take injustice lying down, started to shout back at Zhang Zhenpeng who face turned red in anger and embarrassment.

What Xie Xie said was correct, if it wasn't for those two girls soul fusion skills, then Tang Wulin wouldn't have stepped in.

”Hmp. Don't say anything else, Xie Xie, he already knows your right.”

Wu Zhangkong was already on near them but wanted to see what Zhang Zhenpeng would do. He was able to sense the breathing of the girls and then went over to instantly check on his disciples.

”You!”

”You better tend to you disciple before they die because of your negligence.”

Zhang Zhenpeng blinks his eyes, use his spiritual power to carefully check the hole and found his disciples were still breathing.

He rapidly sped off to pick them up, while Tang Wulin with Gu Yue in his arm instantly begins to walk leisurely off the stage and Xie Xie in tow.

The Skysea Alliance medics came to collect Zhou Tian'er and Zhou Hanyu, who was breathing heavily.

Seeing them, Zhang Zhenpeng felt a large burden off his back, and he turns back to see Tang Wulin walking away.

”Young man. I swear if my disciples do make it out alive, I wish to see how you will pay for it.”

Tang Wulin didn't stop walking leisurely, even when Xie Xie and Gu Yue turn to glare at Zhang Zhenpeng. Zhang Zhenpeng quickly dodges to the side, as he saw precisely a sword slashing advancing his way.

Slash!

He turns and saw Wu Zhangkong with Skyfrost sword in his hand. Six soul rings rose underfoot—two yellow, two purple, and two black.

”Not only can you not instruct your students but you dare blame my disciple.”

Wu Zhangkong didn't care for the people calling him to stop. Not only as this man neglected his students but also threatens his students.

Tang Wulin walk into the tunnel of the arena, conveniently ignoring the sounds of battle. Once he was far enough into it, he turns to look at Gu Yue and then started to pinch her lovely cheeks.

”You idiot, if you see a powerful attack approaching your way. Then you need to dodge.”

Gu Yue felt she was being wronged as Tang Wulin kept on pinching her lovely cheeks.

”But then I wouldn't get the chance to have you carry me then.”

Tang Wulin lips twitch as he saw how she was showing little to no regret. Gu Yue inwardly was happy, thinking this is the second time he carried her. Tang Wulin stop caring anymore and put her down as Xie Xie came running to them.

”Teacher Wu Zhangkong is teaching them a lesson alright.”

Xie Xie begins to tell them what happened as they were leaving but then Tang Wulin spat out a large ounce of blood.

Gu Yue quickly moved to his side, asking gently what was wrong. Xie Xie jumps in terrific shock from the blood but then went to his side.

”It the side attack of using Law, when you're so weak. Even though I was able to help you, combine it into your Dragon Slayer Magic. It still requires a large amount of magic or spirit power to use.”

Tang Wulin nodded his head and then told them it was the after effect of the attack. Gu Yue and Xie Xie turn to each other, with fierce determination in their eyes.

They begin to drag Tang Wulin to go out and eat, not bothering what he thought about it.

He didn't really mind because he wasn't paying for the food but he was curious about why now of all time. Zeref himself just shook his head and went to go watch that was happening inside the arena.

Eastsea class zero was naturally forced to drop out of the tournament because of the direct accusations of trying to kill Skysea disciples. Clearly, the audience saw a different picture but knew better than to speak up.

The Eastsea school had the choice to either turn in Tang Wulin or all their team be to drop out from the tournament.

Wu Zhangkong drops out immediately not caring if there would be a fuss and the rest of the class zero made a note to remember Skysea actions.

On the bus going home, Tang Wulin was forced by his classmate to ride with them, even it meant him sleeping the whole way. Wu Zhangkong turned his head and saw them all cuddle up, sleeping together.

'They really look like a well-developed team.'

Wu Zhangkong was happy that Tang Wulin has been working on becoming teammates with his classmates.

He was equally delighted the others were not getting depressed by Tang Wulin unreasonable talent but using it as motivation to keep getting better.

He notices throughout the tournament, Xie Xie and Gu Yue wanted to show off the fruits of their training. He was impressed that Xie Xie was able to learn the Purple Demon Eye so quick.

Wu Zhangkong sighed to himself, at present thinking about a future training plan for his students.

Skysea alliance tried to gain information on Class Zero but Eastsea Academy had already sealed off all relevant information, leaving the two clueless.

Class zero had promptly disappeared—not only from the tournament but from the Eastsea Academy itself. None of the students there ever heard from or saw them again.

Three years later in Eastsea City, near its large forest.

”This bastard really knows how to piss someone off.”

Mu Xi grumbles as she was doing her training regiment sent to her by the slave driver. She had to run a thousand kilometer by the end of the day without any spirit power.

This would practically be impossible if they haven't been doing this for the past three years. It was vacation time for her, but he informed her to come back to Eastsea and continue her training.

She couldn't refuse either because it was his training that allows her to be one of the strongest in her class.

Heck, she was able to become a spirit ancestor rank 46 because he refuses to produce an average student.

”I wonder, what he is doing right now…”

”Knowing that little demon, he most likely trying to find another soul beast for his next spirit ring.”

”Poor soul beast.”

A youth was walking through a forest. He stood above 170 centimeters, his body toned and well-proportioned. Slender muscles rippled as they ran, faintly visible beneath their clothes.

”With this last time, you can finally open up the 6th seal.”

Tang Wulin nodded his head, thinking about the years. Ever since they disappeared from the academy, he has been working on breaking the seals.

He has already broken the 4th and 5th seal, undoubtedly gaining him his second golden spirit ring from the Golden Dragon King.

'With this last item, the Goddess tears.'
