Chapter 253: I, Su Ming, Quit Shrek Academy!

"Since we've already torn off the facade, let's settle this. From Notting Academy to now, I've never once provoked you first, Tang San. It's always you who picks a fight with me and then gets beaten down!"

Xiao Wu chimed in from the side, "That's right, Tang San. Do you know what I hate most about you? You're always causing trouble for my brother for no reason! You think your hidden weapons are so great? It's just that my brother doesn't want to bother with you."

"Every time you messed with him, when hasn't my brother gone easy on you? If not, do you think you'd still be standing here?"

With each of Xiao Wu's words, Tang San's face grew darker. Xiao Wu was the person he loved—how could she say such things to him?

The other female leads, who knew the whole story, agreed silently with Xiao Wu. From start to finish, Su Ming had never intentionally gone after Tang San; it was always Tang San who brought it upon himself.

Ning Rongrong added, "Tang San, don't you think you're a bit of a hypocrite? You know full well how important cultivation techniques are, and yet you refuse to share your Mysterious Heaven Skill or other skills with us, claiming you'll wait until you establish your Tang Sect. But then why are you trying to force Su Ming to share his technique?"

"In the end, you're just jealous that Su Ming is stronger than you! Jealous that, even though he doesn't have twin martial spirits, he's still better than you in every way!"

"Enough!" Tang San finally exploded, shouting in frustration.

The Royal Battle Team members were surprised—there was even more drama unfolding than they expected.

Qin Ming, too, hadn't anticipated things would go south so quickly. What was supposed to be a smooth conversation had taken a sudden turn.

Su Ming sneered, "What's wrong? Did I hit a nerve? Aren't Xiao Wu and Rongrong telling the truth?"

"If you all are so curious about how to accelerate cultivation, I might as well tell you. It's Lingbo Weibu!"

This revelation shocked even Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong. Could Lingbo Weibu really boost cultivation speed?

Actually, Su Ming had only recently realized this. In his previous life's martial arts stories, the more Lingbo Weibu was practiced, the deeper one's internal strength became. Naturally, this principle could apply here too.

Su Ming seldom used Lingbo Weibu because his soul power quality was already high, so any boosts were negligible. But for someone like Ning Rongrong, if she practiced it regularly, it might indeed help her cultivate faster.

Turning to Ning Rongrong, Su Ming smiled. "Yes, Lingbo Weibu does have that effect, but it requires regular practice. You have to take it step by step."

Ning Rongrong, wide-eyed, nodded. She knew Su Ming wouldn't lie to her, and this meant she had just gained a powerful tool for advancing her cultivation!

At first, she had felt a bit down for not getting a special technique from the system like Xiao Wu or Zhu Zhuqing, but now her disappointment faded. With Lingbo Weibu and her Glazed Tile Pagoda, she had two ways to accelerate her training. If she put in the effort, the usual slow pace of cultivating an auxiliary martial spirit wouldn't be an issue for her anymore!

Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up—he had to get this technique!

Eagerly, Yu Xiaogang said, "Su Ming, why don't you teach me Lingbo Weibu first? When I return to my clan, I'll bring back the Dragon Transformation Method for you. But you must promise not to pass it on!"

Su Ming rolled his eyes internally. What's the point of having a technique I can't share? Just to collect it?

He said, slightly exasperated, "Master, if I can't pass on the Dragon Transformation Method, then why would I take it just to collect dust? And once I teach you Lingbo Weibu, can you guarantee you won't pass it on? After all, when you return to your clan, won't they demand you hand it over? Will you give it to them or not?"

Yu Xiaogang faltered, unable to respond. He knew he couldn't promise that. If he had Lingbo Weibu, his clan's strength would skyrocket. With both the Dragon Transformation Method and Lingbo Weibu, his clan could very well surpass the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and rise above their current rank!

Standing by, Yu Tianheng was shocked to learn about the deal between his uncle and Su Ming. He didn't see anything wrong with his uncle's actions—if he could get his hands on Lingbo Weibu, it would be a game-changer. Even against the geniuses of the Spirit Hall, he would have a fighting chance!

With the Spirit Master Tournament coming up next year, and rumors about the three prodigies from the Spirit Hall known as the Golden Generation, Yu Tianheng knew their strength would be formidable. He wasn't about to let a mere commoner like Su Ming stand in his way. He decided to bide his time, planning to report this to his grandfather later.

Su Ming: I didn't expect you to be like this, Yu Tianheng. But try me, and you'll regret it!

"Alright, I won't say much more. Since we're on different paths, there's no need to stay together. I, Su Ming, hereby quit Shrek Academy!"

"And Tang San, don't act like I broke my promise to you. You brought this on yourself! The situation today is your doing!"

"If you can publicly question my technique, why can't I reveal your twin martial spirits and Tang Sect skills?"

Su Ming's words left everyone—aside from those already in the know—stunned. He was quitting Shrek Academy over this?

What they didn't realize was that Su Ming had always planned to leave Shrek Academy at some point. He had been open to staying longer if the teachers and students turned out to be different from what he'd expected, but they were just as he had feared.

As the saying goes, when someone makes a surprising decision, it's usually the result of accumulated disappointment and careful thought.

In the shadows outside the tavern, an old figure watched the scene unfold, quietly eating his popcorn. He mused to himself, Why is it that every time I come to Soto City, I end up running into Shrek Academy's drama? And it's never something small.

Last time, it had involved Ning Rongrong, and now it was Su Ming's turn. The old man had originally planned to stay the night in the city before heading to Shrek Academy the next morning to deliver some talisman-making materials to Su Ming, but now it seemed like there was no need.
