Chapter 109 - Chpater 109 (1/2)

A year passed in a flash after the day that Huang Yu and Gu Yue had quit Shrek Academy at the Star Luo Empire.

During this time, many things had happened within Nox.

The most prominent thing that happened was Huang Yu's reappearance along with the introduction of a massive number of true dragon spirit bones.

Huang Yu had created a literal truckload of them and had placed them in Nox's stash as incentive for his men to work a little harder.

He made sure that everyone in the organisation got equal treatment. Nox was an organisation that adhered to righteous policies and gave an equal environment for everyone to strive. No one was to get preferential treatment and—

Who the hell was he kidding?

Of course he gave preferential treatment.

His Bishops got their whole body decked out with true dragon spirit bones, allowing them to breakthrough even further and increase their sheer battle prowess.

Sure, it was unfair.

However, Huang Yu wasn't a robot. How could he not treat those that had followed him longer better?

If it was in your case, would you not treat your family and friends better than some random co-workers that you don't even know the names of?

Of course, this set of actions had caused Gu Yue to question him about where he got all these spirit bones from.

After he had shown her his little magic trick, he got some (4000 words omitted).

:Putting that aside, the meeting with Ha Luosa had gone very simply.

Ha Luosa had gone into the room that Huang Yu was in…

Then only Huang Yu came out.

Efficient wasn't it?

There was only room for one cul— he meant righteous God-serving organisation on this planet.

Huang Yu had also sparred quite often with Hui Mie as well during this past year.

Facing Hui Mie's strength which seemed to be like a depthless gorge, Huang Yu managed to gain many understandings of his swordsmanship.

That mysterious state that he had been in when he had fought against Hui Mie the first time... he managed to touch it during the many spars with Hui Mie.

However, touching was not the same as having in it the palm of your hand.

And no, that was not what you were probably thinking you perverts.

Huang Yu had asked Hui Mie some questions about it, but for some reason, he refused to give a straight answer.

Instead, he said something vague, like:

”You must open your heart up to your sword as you would with your loved ones. Only then, can you achieve unity with your sword as you would with in the bosom of your lover.”

Those words had given Huang Yu a set of thoughts that he would really like to slap out of his head but oh well.

Words could never do the true profundities of the Dao any justice.

After all, could a human understand the barks of a rabid dog?

Just take that difference, then multiply it by infinity.

It was only then would you have the difference between human words and the Dao.

The Shrek Academy group at the Star Luo Empire wasn't idle as well during this time.

They had gone around to the various schools of Star Luo Empire, and completely decimated a bunch of scrubs as planned.

As their business in the Star Luo Empire came to an end, Elder Cai made the call for the Shrek Academy group to return to the Douluo Continent.

They chose not to wait for Tang Wulin, causing protests among the more or less confirmed six members of the Shrek Seven Monsters. However, those protests were calmed after an intense discussion and several promises made.

Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do about it.

Tang Wulin was MIA while Gu Yue was a member of the Spirit Pagoda.

And about Huang Yu?

He had seemingly disappeared from their radar one day despite the frequent 'check-ups' by Elder Cai.

It was something unethical, but how could they not do it? Huang Yu's talent was off the charts and he was the only living user of sword intent that they knew.

If he fell into the wrong path, then it would be devastating for the entire continent if— no, when he became a Limit Douluo.

Hence, they had to nip him in the bud should he show any dispositions of turning to the dark side.

It was just a shame for them that it was far too late for them to ever do anything to him.

”What are you doing?”

Those were Gu Yue's words as she appeared in a silver flash at an enclosed training ground.

Shifting her gaze to the man sitting in the middle of the training ground, her eyes softened a little as she approached him.

As Huang Yu heard Gu Yue's words, he was snapped out of the trance he had been in as he placed down the wooden cane in his hands.

”Gu Yue? Didn't you have something to do at the Spirit Pagoda?”

”I finished it early so I came here to find you.”

Huang Yu nodded his head at Gu Yue's reply as he turned his head back to the staff in his hands.

HIs third eye on his forehead glowing again, he attempted to scan the secrets of this cane in his hands.

This was one of the supreme tools that he had obtained along with the Blade of Tathagata and the Robe of the Sage.

It was called the Cane of the Sage.

Other than to look cool that is.

Hence, Huang Yu thought that it may prove to be another way he could get a qualitative boost of power other than to focus on the path of the sword at the moment.

The laws of space inside this staff were absolutely absurd. Even with his analytical abilities and his comprehension of space, he was unable to decode even a single bit of it.
