Chapter 82 of the First Person
Chapter 82 of the First Person
Boom! Wu Changkong was blasted away again. The three little ones from the East Sea stared in disbelief at this scene. How come their teacher, Wu, was targeted by a crazy old man the moment they entered Shrek Academy?
Shen Yi watched this scene and suddenly laughed. She patted Xu Xiaoyan's head and explained:
"This is your grandmaster! A member of the Sea God Pavilion. Crimson Dragon Douluo Zhuoshi. He had a slight conflict with your teacher Wu back then. Don't worry about it. Although it looks impressive, your grandmaster didn't use his full strength at all."
Upon hearing that the old man was their grandmaster and a titled Douluo, the three children all nodded in unison. It's only natural for a master to discipline his disciple.
He Yushu looked down at the black-haired girl with a strange expression. How come Chen Ran has such a constant stream of romantic encounters?
Chapter 156 The Thousand-Year-Old Profound Ice Marrow and Cai Yue'er's Desire to Take on a Disciple
"Hmph! Xuan Dou is right! I feel much better after beating up this traitorous disciple." Zhuo Shi straightened his clothes, looked at Wu Chang Kong, who was bruised and swollen, and whose left eye had turned into a panda eye, and snorted coldly again.
Wu Changkong did not reply, but simply knelt down on the ground with a thud and quietly looked at Zhuoshi.
Seeing Wu Changkong's appearance, Zhuo Shi's anger, which had almost subsided, surged up again.
He just couldn't understand it. He had raised Wu Changkong like his own son. But after so many years of raising him, how come he hadn't learned anything else but had surpassed his master in being stubborn?
Although it was a grand display just now, even using the Nine Forms of the Crimson Dragon, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that it was all just for show.
But when he was disciplining his rebellious disciple Wu Changkong, he sensed the latter's Soul Saint cultivation level, and Zhuoshi's original plan was immediately overturned. In the end, he gave Wu Changkong a few solid slaps.
He just couldn't understand it. What difference would it make if Wu Changkong lowered his head? He had no children of his own, and he loved his two disciples, Shen Yi and Wu Changkong, as if they were his own. He placed even greater hopes on Wu Changkong.
But his disciple, on whom he had placed such high hopes, later went to Donghai City and wallowed in self-pity, wasting his precious youth. If Wu Changkong hadn't been so stubborn and had sought his help earlier, with his talent, he could definitely have become a Soul Douluo by now, and even a Title Douluo wouldn't be out of the question.
"Teacher, I was wrong!"
Looking at his teacher's aged face, Wu Changkong felt a pang of regret. His teacher looked even older than before he left, not physically, but emotionally.
His past actions had dealt a heavy blow to his teacher. Besides sending Tang Wulin to Shrek Academy, he planned to make amends to his teacher over the years and accompany him through his later years.
Upon hearing the words "I was wrong," a myriad of emotions flashed in Zhuoshi's eyes: confusion, surprise, relief, helplessness, satisfaction, anger...
"Fate is cruel!" He stroked his beard and looked into the distance with a sigh.
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the examination hall where Gu Yue and the others were. Seeing his teacher's reaction, Wu Changkong felt a pang of regret. He would rather his teacher be as angry as before than face his current indifference.
Just as Wu Changkong's heart was filled with regret, a voice drifted over.
"You stupid apprentice, hurry up and follow me!"
Upon hearing Zhuo Shi's words, Wu Changkong suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with surprise as he looked ahead.
His master, Zhuoshi, was looking at him with displeasure. Wu Changkong quickly got up and went to Zhuoshi's side. Zhuoshi casually tossed Wu Changkong a jade box more than a meter long and some ointment, then stood there without turning his head and said...
"It cost me a lot to get my hands on the contents of this jade box. You wicked disciple, you'll have to work like a slave for me to make up for it."
Upon hearing his teacher's words, Wu Changkong looked at the jade box in his hand, which emanated a cold sensation, and was filled with emotion. His teacher was an elder of the Sea God Pavilion, and if even he found the jade box precious, the value of the contents within was unimaginable.
The moment he opened the jade box, a bone-chilling cold blasted out. Feeling this cold air, which even chilled him, a soul master of the ice attribute, Wu Changkong understood even more the preciousness of this treasure.
Inside the jade box, a piece of white ice, about the size of a forearm, lay quietly. Even in the sunlight, the chill it emitted made one feel as if they were dressed in a world of ice and snow.
Under the sunlight, the constantly swirling liquid within the white ice was even more captivating. As a student of Shrek Academy, Wu Changkong's knowledge naturally far surpassed that of ordinary people.
He naturally recognized the icy body emanating a strong chill in front of him; in fact, any Soul Master who had read the biography of the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao would recognize it.
The Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, a rare and precious artifact coveted by ice-type soul masters, provided crucial assistance on the cultivation path of the Spirit Ice Douluo.
"Teacher! You've gone to so much trouble for your unfilial disciple."
Hearing Wu Changkong's words, Zhuoshi nodded arrogantly. It was enough that this rebellious disciple knew how hard he, as his teacher, had worked.
"You must have gone to great lengths to obtain the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow for me. I will definitely not let you down in the future."
"Wait! Ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing Marrow? You idiot! What did you learn in school? This is a thousand-year-old Xuanbing Marrow. Even if you sold my old bones, I couldn't get such a large piece of ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing Marrow."
Zhuo Shi, who was originally prepared to quietly listen to his disciple's praise, was caught off guard by Wu Changkong's words. He flashed behind Wu Changkong and put the box containing the Xuanbing Marrow into his soul tool, so as not to break it when he fought this traitorous disciple later.
He went through a tremendous amount of trouble to get this item.
*Thump!* Zhuo Shi gave Wu Chang Kong another sharp rap on the head: "I'll teach you a lesson you traitorous disciple for not studying properly. You can't even recognize the Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow."
at the same time
Gu Yue and the three little ones from the East Sea also passed their tests quite smoothly. With Qian Gu Chen Ran being an exception, Gu Yue no longer needed to pretend. Whether it was the first test of facing the dragon might of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian or the second test of conjuring up images of soul beasts, Gu Yue demonstrated strength far exceeding that of the others.
Arriving at the third gate filled with guillotines, Gu Yue, enveloped in wind element, strolled leisurely through. The moment she stepped inside, she transformed into a streak of azure light and flashed forward. Even when she accidentally touched a guillotine, the whirlwind surrounding her halted its advance.
The other three also passed the test under Tang Wulin's guidance. On the way to the next test site, Shen Yi looked at Gu Yue with emotion.
Based on Gu Yue's current strength, aside from the three little monsters she's teaching, she's virtually unmatched in this generation. Moreover, she remembered Wu Changkong saying that Gu Yue had joined the Spirit Pagoda.
She seems to have a special connection with the Spirit Pagoda.
He led the group to the next examination room. Seeing the old woman and two middle-aged men sitting behind the long table, Shen Yi stepped aside to let Gu Yue and the others come forward.
"This round showcases your special talents. You will need to demonstrate your most outstanding talents as Soul Masters in front of these three judges, after which several judges will score you."
After speaking, Shen Yi handed the stage over to Tang Wulin and the others. Then, just like in the original novel, the East Sea trio performed in the order of Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, and Tang Wulin.
Although Cai Yue'er showed no expression on her face, she was still satisfied with the talents of the group.
In particular, Tang Wulin, whose martial soul contains an extremely rich golden dragon bloodline, and Xu Xiaoyan, whose soul skills are absolutely valid. If properly nurtured, these two will become Shrek Academy's top combat force in the future.
Seeing that the three had finished their presentations, Gu Yue stepped forward and began hers. Cai Yue'er raised an eyebrow at Gu Yue's performance; this little girl was quite arrogant, which she liked.
Four spirit rings, two yellow and two purple, appeared one after another behind Gu Yue. A large amount of light and dark elements condensed into a spherical energy ball in her hand. Looking at the energy ball that kept spinning in Gu Yue's hand, Cai Yue'er's face showed a hint of anticipation.
Sensing that the light and darkness attributes had reached a balance, Gu Yue held the ball of light in one hand and covered it with the other. Flowing fire element surged into the black and white energy sphere.
Seeing Gu Yue's current performance, a glint of excitement flashed in Cai Yue'er's eyes. The combination of the two superior elements of light and darkness, plus the fire element, this little girl named Gu Yue had given her a tremendous surprise.
Upon arriving here, Gu Yue added a cyan wind element to it. The four elements intertwined continuously, and simply watching them seemed to draw one's mind into them.
Gu Yue gently pushed forward with both hands, and the spherical energy immediately rushed towards Cai Yue'er. Cai Yue'er excitedly watched the energy ball flying towards her, and Gu Yue's calm expression; she became firm in her decision.
Chapter 157 Three Punches Shatter the Dream of Taking on a Disciple
As the silver moon appeared behind Cai Yue'er, nine spirit rings—four purple, four black, and one red—were also arranged behind her. She looked up, a hint of pride flashing across her face.
She's a Title Douluo with a 100,000-year spirit ring; this little girl should already be impressed by her strength. Taking her as a disciple later will be a piece of cake.
What she didn't notice was that Gu Yue looked at the soul ring ratio that Cai Yue'er had deliberately shown and a look of disdain appeared on her face.
This soul ring configuration is so good that she's a Shrek Academy elder, even surpassing Chen Ran during his Soul Master era. What's so arrogant about this old woman?
Although he had not yet recovered his strength, Gu Yue could sense that the old woman was after him, and he frowned.
The spherical energy, which was moving at a normal speed, suddenly accelerated and arrived in front of Cai Yue'er.
In order to demonstrate her strength and make it easier to take Gu Yue as her disciple, Cai Yue'er was about to erase the spherical energy to show her power when the spherical energy was suddenly enveloped by a silver light and came to Cai Yue'er's back.
Boom! An energy sphere interwoven with four colors—gold, black, red, and blue—exploded directly behind Cai Yue'er. The three little ones from the East Sea were utterly astonished to see Cai Yue'er enveloped in energy.
Tang Wulin was taken aback; he hadn't expected the usually quiet Gu Yue to have this side to her. Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan both gave her a thumbs up. Without a doubt, Sister Gu Yue is amazing!
"Good girl! You've really given me a big surprise! Just that move of yours would definitely be too much for an ordinary Soul King to withstand! Even a Soul Emperor might suffer a great loss."
As the dust settled, Cai Yue'er looked at Gu Yue excitedly. She wasn't angry at Gu Yue's behavior just now; instead, she saw it as a symbol of individuality.
Shrek students are supposed to be unconventional and have their own style.
Gu Yue frowned. Even in her current state, why was this elder named Cai Yue'er still staring at her with shining eyes? Could she have some kind of fetish?
Gu Yue remembered a romance novel Xu Xiaoyan had given her before. Recalling its contents, goosebumps immediately rose on her skin. Humans really know how to have fun, but she certainly didn't have that kind of fetish.
Seeing the disdain in Gu Yue's eyes, Cai Yue'er didn't care. She straightened her clothes and looked at Gu Yue confidently: "Little girl, your name is Gu Yue, right!"
Gu Yue frowned and nodded. What was this old woman up to?
"Seeing my spirit rings, I believe you understand. I am a councilor of the Shrek Sea God Pavilion, a level 95 Super Douluo. Gu Yue, I want to take you as my disciple. Once you become my disciple, I will take you directly to the inner courtyard for training."
As soon as she finished speaking, Cai Yue'er looked at Gu Yue with shining eyes. She believed that there were few young soul masters in the world who would refuse Shrek Academy's inner court.
As long as Gu Yue joins Shrek Academy's inner court, she believes that Gu Yue will feel a sense of belonging after seeing Shrek's profound foundation and its frighteningly abundant soul bone reserves.
The thought of Gu Yue, under her tutelage, kicking the Spirit Pagoda, defeating the Federation, and leading Shrek Academy to dominate the continent made Cai Yue'er wish she could immediately bring Gu Yue to the Sea God Pavilion to show her to her brother Ming.
"do not want!"
"Alright! Good apprentice, I'll teach you right away... Huh? What did you say!"
Upon hearing Gu Yue's answer, Cai Yue'er was about to happily take Gu Yue to the Sea God Pavilion when she suddenly changed her mind.
She looked at the nonchalant Gu Yue, a flicker of disbelief in her eyes. This might be a chance to join Shrek Academy! How could anyone choose to give it up?
Not only Cai Yue'er, but everyone else present except Shen Yi stared at Gu Yue in disbelief. The two middle-aged men were filled with disbelief. They couldn't believe that someone would refuse Shrek Academy's invitation.
Moreover, it's Shrek Academy's inner courtyard! You have to understand that only by joining the inner courtyard can you truly join Shrek Academy.
Tang Wulin and the others looked at Gu Yue in shock, and Xu Xiaoyan quickly stepped forward to persuade her. They also didn't understand why Gu Yue would give up the opportunity to join Shrek Academy.
Only Shen Yi wasn't surprised by the result; on the contrary, she felt it was only natural. She had a premonition that Gu Yue came to Shrek Academy for Qian Gu Chenran.
Qian Gu Chen Ran will definitely not take the Shrek Academy entrance exam; instead, he will return to inherit the Spirit Pagoda. Gu Yue will undoubtedly make the same choice.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi sighed. If Gu Yue were added to the mix, the new generation of the Spirit Pagoda would already be unmatched among their peers.
It was precisely because he had taught Qian Gu Chenran that Shen Yi was able to more clearly understand the gap that far exceeded what ordinary people could imagine.
No matter how much Xu Xiaoyan tried to persuade her, Gu Yue refused. She might have considered it if it were one of the Limit Douluo from the Spirit Pagoda, but as for Cai Yue'er, an ordinary Super Douluo, she could forget about it.
"Gu Yue! Think it over carefully! This is an opportunity to join Shrek Academy's inner court. Do you know how many people dream of this? Only by joining Shrek Academy's inner court can you truly witness the profound strength of our Shrek Academy."
Cai Yue'er tried desperately to persuade Gu Yue to change her mind, but no matter what she said, Gu Yue remained unmoved.
"Hmph! Fine! Since you look down on Shrek Academy, then forget it. Not only did you get zero in this round, but you also got zero in the rounds that followed! And the people who came with you also got zero in the rounds that followed."
Cai Yue'er snorted coldly, her eyes blazing with anger. She was none other than Cai Yue'er, the Silver Moon Douluo, a renowned figure on the continent. Yet this little brat, Gu Yue, dared to show her such disrespect.
Since that's the case, then let her see the power she wields as an elder of the Sea God Pavilion.
Hearing Cai Yue'er's words, Tang Wulin and the other two innocent bystanders widened their eyes in shock. Xie Xie, disregarding Tang Wulin's attempts to stop him, angrily questioned, "Gu Yue simply didn't agree to your request. Is this how you treat us?! Is there any fairness left in Shrek Academy?"
"Hmph! Fairness! Kid, let me tell you, fairness in this world comes from strength. I'm stronger than you, so you have to accept it."
Cai Yue'er looked at Gu Yue with a dark expression, attempting to force Gu Yue to submit. Shrek Academy desperately needed a pillar of strength to support the entire institution. Even if it meant forcing Gu Yue, she was determined to bring her to Shrek Academy.
Seeing this, Shen Yi immediately went to the three people. "Elder Cai! These three are all my master's disciples and grand-disciples. Gu Yue just misspoke, out of respect for my master..."
Before Shen Yi could finish speaking, Cai Yue'er immediately interrupted her, saying, "I'm doing this all for the good of Shrek Academy. I believe your master will understand us in the future."
