Chapter 2084: Stepping Out of the Shadow (Please Subscribe)_1

Several days later, Tang Wulin finally emerged from his room...

After arriving at the Inner Court cafeteria, he saw Gu Yue and the others sitting together, ready to have their meal...

He joked, "Everyone's having lunch, huh? No one called me!"

Seeing him arrive, Xie Xie scooted over to make room and said helplessly, "It's not that we didn't call you, but you locked yourself in your room as soon as you returned to the academy..."

Yuanen Yehui gave him a pat and then asked, "Wulin, have you calmed down these past few days?"

"I also know the pain of losing a loved one, but I still hope you can accept it and move on!"

Tang Wulin chuckled lightly, "Don't worry everyone, I'm really okay!"

Since Sea God Tang San, his biological father, could bring his mother back to life in the Divine Realm, there was nothing for him to be sad about!

Now the most important thing was to practice as quickly as possible, to try and reach the Hundredth Level to become a god. Only by doing so... might there be a chance for the family to reunite!

Xu Xiaoyan sighed with relief, "Looking at Wulin, it seems like he's come to terms with it. Let's eat then."

And so, everyone began to eat slowly and deliberately...

Except for Tang Wulin, who hadn't eaten in days and, as the food was served, devoured it like a ravenous wolf...

After eating several portions, he finally felt full...

But then he seemed to think of something and asked in confusion, "Right, Gu Yue, where are Yuxue and the members of the Blood Dragon Squad? Aren't they in the academy?"

Gu Yue nodded slightly and calmly explained, "Yes, they didn't want to trouble anyone and found a hotel to stay at in Shrek City."

Tang Wulin pursed his lips, "I see, that's good."

The members of the Blood Dragon Squad were comrades who had been through life and death with him; it was natural for him to be concerned!

Xie Xie's eyes twinkled, and he nudged Wulin with his shoulder, whispering, "By the way, Wulin, let me tell you something quietly. That woman named Long Yuxue seems to have feelings for you!"

Yue Zhengyu, who had overheard the comment, expressed his surprise, "Xie Xie, did you notice it too? I thought I was the only one who saw it!"

Xie Xie raised his chin proudly, "Obviously, that woman named Long Yuxue, her gaze when she looks at Wulin is all wrong. It's easy to tell!"

Tang Wulin felt a chill down his spine and quickly denied, "Xie Xie, Zheng Yu, don't spout nonsense. Yuxue and I are just comrades-in-arms, and her concern for me is perfectly normal!"

Neither Xie Xie nor Yue Zhengyu were fooled by his words and scoffed disdainfully.

Knowing that such things would only get darker the more one tried to clarify, Tang Wulin decided not to elaborate and changed the subject, "Let's not talk about that for now, I need to find Elder Xu!"

Teacher Xu's strength exceeded even that of the Pavilion Master, and he might know some shortcuts to becoming a god!

Just as he was about to stand up, Yue Zhengyu pushed him back down onto the chair, "Looking for Teacher Xu? You'll probably have to wait for a while then!"

Tang Wulin raised an eyebrow, "How so? Is Teacher Xu not at the academy?"

Ye Xinglan rested her chin on her hand and said, "Hmm, I heard he went to the Federation Headquarters, but no one knows why!"

Xu Lizhi added out of the blue, "I remember that Teacher Xu has never had much to do with the federation. The purpose of his visit this time is probably only known to the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion!"

However, Xu Xiaoyan was excited, "What if, do you think, it's because Teacher Xu's old flame is in the federation?"

Yuanen Yehui twitched the corner of his mouth, "Xiaoyan, why are you talking nonsense like Xie Xie? Isn't Teacher Shen a great catch? And yet she was still turned down by Teacher Xu!"

Xu Xiaoyan paused, then muttered, "That's true too! Maybe Teacher Xu isn't interested in romance..."

Gu Yue sighed, bringing everyone's topic back on track, "Let's not discuss these pointless matters. If we have this much time, we might as well spend it on cultivation and actual combat practice!"

"For instance... have a match with the junior brothers and sisters from the Inner Court!"

Xie Xie shrugged his shoulders, "That's boring. The strongest among the Inner Court's juniors is just a Soul Sage, nowhere near our match!"

Yue Zhengyu agreed deeply, looking at Yuanen Yehui with a complex gaze, "Indeed, especially Yehui. Just the pressure from his hundred-thousand-year soul ring is enough to immobilize the juniors. Fighting them is out of the question!"

Tang Wulin's heart surged with a hint of battle will, excitedly saying, "That's easy then. If we can't find suitable juniors, we'll just find the Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion. With their strength, they would definitely suffice as sparring partners!"

Since Teacher Xu is not here, I should focus all my thoughts on cultivation!

Xu Lizhi hesitated, "This... doesn't seem great. It feels as if we're using the Elders like tools."

Gu Yue nodded in agreement, "Wulin's suggestion is fine. Battling with the Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion will certainly offer us new insights!"

After all, our opponents in the future will all be evil Soul Masters of the Titled Douluo and Hyper Douluo levels!

Ye Xinglan took a deep breath, "I agree. Let's do that. With Elder Ya'li, known as the Saint Soul Douluo, around, we don't have to worry about any accidents!"

...

Shrek City, inside a hotel!

Jiang Wuyue looked at Long Yuxue with a face full of grievance, "Yuxue, we could have stayed inside Shrek Academy. Why did we run off to a hotel in Shrek City?"

Sima Jinchi chimed in, "Exactly, there's nowhere here to practice, and I was even prepared to spar with those Shrek Seven Monsters!"

Aruheng flexed his formidable biceps, regretfully saying, "I also want to personally experience the strength of Wulin's companions!"

Long Yuxue glanced at them and sighed silently, "Wulin is in a bad mood. As soon as he returned to the academy, he locked himself in his room. Wouldn't it be awkward for us to stay there?"

When everyone heard this, they fell silent...

Sima Jinchi stretched out his arms, leaning back on the bed, "Well, we've already left, there's no point in talking about it now. Besides, the legion hasn't sent us any messages to return!"

Long Yuxue's eyes grew sharp, "Hmm, after all, our Blood Dragon Squad is a special team, formed with the purpose of protecting Wulin. We can act without following the legion's orders!"

"Moreover, the Abyss has always been calm. There haven't been any mishaps!"

Ma Shan snorted coldly, "I think, it's because Blood One sacrificed his life to reinforce the seal, so those abyssal creatures have given up any hope of leaving!"

Ling Wuyue's lips curved slightly upward, "That's uncertain. Back then, when the Abyssal seal was still intact, the abyssal creatures managed to get the help of the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Master."

"The calm now is merely them plotting in the shadows for the next Abyssal Tide!"

Jiang Wuyue stretched lazily, "Who knows! It's just that I wonder how July is doing. After all, among us, she's the only one who stayed with the legion."

...

Blood God Army! Within the Abyssal Passage!

Jiang Qiyue, who was sitting in the command post, stared at the group photo of the Blood Dragon Squad, grinding her teeth, "Seriously, I don't know what the army commander is thinking, leaving me here in the army all by myself!"

I, too, would like to leave the Blood God Army to have a look around!
