N-A-A Chapter 58 New Changes at Shrek Academy
Chapter 58 New Changes at Shrek Academy
The morning mist enveloped the Lake of Life like a veil. Biji, Ziji, and Huo Yutong were ready to end their month-long vacation and return to Shrek Academy.
Di Tian, Di Qiu, and several ferocious beasts, including Xiong Jun, came to see them off.
After a brief farewell, the three figures disappeared into the dense forest bathed in the soft morning light.
With Zi Ji still carrying Huo Yutong on her back, the three of them, relying on the exquisite mental disguise prepared by Tian Meng in advance, passed through the gates of Shrek City openly and once again stepped into this bustling human city.
……
And in this month, Shrek Academy has also undergone new changes.
While Huo Yutong accompanied Biji and Ziji to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings, Shrek Academy seemed to have returned to its usual tranquility. However, those who knew the inside story were all filled with an unspeakable concern.
Soul Guidance Department, Core Laboratory.
Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu were discussing in hushed tones over a complex blueprint, which depicted an ingeniously designed defensive soul tool.
Ever since the incident in the secret room where Ma Xiaotao's evil fire went berserk, leaving Huo Yutong to venture alone into danger, it has become an unspoken consensus between the two elders to provide additional protection for this disciple who is both pitiful and admirable.
"The design concept is fine, the key is the conductive material of this core magic array, 'Star Silver Marrow'... This thing is too scarce, it's priceless and unavailable." Fan Yu's tone was regretful.
"If enough Star Silver Marrow can be found, this level-eight soul tool called 'Eternal Guardian' will be enough to withstand a fatal blow from a Title Douluo at a critical moment."
Qian Duoduo sighed, "Sigh, let's keep looking. There'll always be a way. I just hope that girl is doing well in the Star Dou Great Forest."
If they knew that this rare metal, which is priceless in the human world, is almost everywhere in the Star Dou Great Forest, and is even used by Xiong Jun to sharpen his claws, I wonder what these two Soul Guidance Masters would think.
The atmosphere inside the first-year teaching building was slightly different.
As the acting class monitor, Ning Tian managed the class affairs in an orderly manner, and her abilities were evident to all.
She also became friends with Xiao Xiao, Huo Yutong's good friend, and the two often went to the Soul Guidance Department together.
Ning Tian showed extraordinary enthusiasm and learning ability for soul tools, studying them almost day and night.
This was tough on Wu Feng, who was wholeheartedly following her. She had no talent for those complicated theories and blueprints, but in order to accompany the young master, she could only grit her teeth and listen to Fan Yu's lectures. She often felt dizzy and her nightmares at night were filled with the Soul Guidance Department's textbooks.
Within the college, the title of "Twin Stars of the Foreign Languages Department" has quietly changed hands.
Xu Sanshi, who was once on par with Beibei, has clearly felt his strength waning in recent months.
After undergoing Zi Ji's "hellish" training, Bei Bei's fighting style became increasingly fierce and ruthless, exuding a wildness honed on the edge of life and death.
With the addition of Tang Zang, a newly transferred disciple of the Haotian Sect, whose strength was equally unfathomable, the title of "New Outer Court Twin Stars" fell to Bei Bei and Tang Zang.
After Niu Tian and Titan's operation failed, Tang San selected a disciple from the eligible disciples of the Clear Sky Sect through the statue of the Asura God enshrined in the Clear Sky Sect.
A blood-red mark transcends time and space, imprinted deep within Tang Zang's soul. (Tang Zang and Bei Bei are the same age.)
"I bestow upon you the Seven Trials of Asura, grant you secret techniques to accelerate your cultivation, and send you to Shrek Academy to assist Wang Dong and monitor Huo Yutong and those around her."
Tang San's voice carried the majesty of a god.
The disciple named Tangzang felt a surge of immense power enter his body, instantly loosening his cultivation bottleneck. In his ecstasy, he failed to realize that behind this power lay a cruel secret technique that came at the cost of burning his lifespan.
……
After entering the academy, the three girls agreed to split up and meet at the Tang Sect's residence at 6 p.m.
Biji went straight to the medicine pavilion and handed over some of the refined top-grade body tempering pills, soul-raising pills, and other auxiliary pills to the manager, Li Ren.
When Li Ren and several senior alchemists examined these pills, they were all astonished—the purity and life energy contained in the pills far exceeded their expectations.
When Biji took out the Xuanbing Pill, which was made primarily from ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow, Li Ren's hands trembled slightly with excitement.
"This...this pill contains an extreme icy aura, a treasure coveted by ice-attribute soul masters. Its pure and righteous chill might even have a miraculous effect on suppressing the evil fire within Ma Xiaotao's body!"
After the handover was completed, Biji found out Lin Qingqing's whereabouts.
To express her gratitude for the teaching assistant's many acts of kindness, she sought out Lin Qingqing and presented her with a specially crafted elixir to nourish her meridians.
Lin Qingqing was initially moved and repeatedly declined, feeling it was too precious. It wasn't until Bi Ji smiled but gently placed the pill into her hand that Lin Qingqing was secretly shocked when she touched Bi Ji's wrist—this seemingly gentle teacher had such a steady and powerful grip.
When Lin Qingqing was a teaching assistant, Zi Ji would also guide her in her cultivation.
Murasaki went straight to the third-year teaching building.
She first went to the classroom of Class 3, Grade 3, and found it empty, so she stopped a passing student to ask him.
After asking several people, she learned that the class was having a practical training course at the comprehensive training ground.
"I should have just gone straight to the training ground," Zi Ji thought to herself, then smiled.
"But it's good, it's better to have found out than to have made a wasted trip."
When she made a high-profile appearance at the entrance of the training field, the students of Class 3-3 and Class 4, who were taking classes together, fell silent for a moment, and then burst into enthusiastic cheers!
Although Zi Ji's hellish training made them suffer, everyone truly felt a leap in their own strength, so they both feared and respected this strict and powerful "Teacher Zi Yan".
After class, Zi Ji found Tang Ya and said succinctly, "Find Bei Bei. See you at Tang Sect at six o'clock tonight."
Huo Yutong returned to her familiar classroom, Class 1, Grade 1. She gently knocked on the door and entered.
"Hello, Teacher Zhou Yi! Hello, classmates! I'm back!"
"Yutong!" Xiao Xiao was so surprised to see her friend that she almost jumped up from her seat to give her a hug, but luckily she remembered that she was in class.
Teacher Zhou Yi sensed the increasingly calm and reserved aura emanating from Huo Yutong and nodded, saying, "It's good that you're back."
Then, she announced to the whole class: "Since Ning Tian has done an excellent job as the acting class monitor during Huo Yutong's leave of absence, I have decided that Ning Tian and Huo Yutong will jointly serve as class monitors from now on."
This way, if one of them is unavailable, class affairs can still operate as usual, and both can complement each other.
After class, the students curiously gathered around, asking Huo Yutong about her experiences in the Star Dou Great Forest over the past month.
Huo Yutong had already coordinated her story with Biji and Ziji, and dealt with the situation calmly and flawlessly.
Then Huo Yutong asked Zhou Yi to tell Qian Duoduo that Fan Yu had returned, but she had something to do today and couldn't go to the Soul Guidance Department.
