Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record (3)

After he'd walked for two hundred or so metres, several enormous sculptures appeared in front of him, covering his line of sight. There were a total of ten sculptures, and they were all ten metres tall. They had all been carved from extremely tough granite.

The Golden Iron Triangle and the first generation of Shrek's Seven Monsters had laid the foundation for Shrek Academy. Even though ten thousand years had gone by, and even though Shrek Academy had raised an uncountable number of outstanding geniuses and experts, the number of sculptures had never increased, and had remained at ten.

The Golden Triangle we're in front and the seven devils behind. The statues were quite tall, a dangerously glint flashed in Shen Wushang's eyes,

"You were first Tang San but we'll see who's better between you or me, only time will tell."

Shen Wushang clenched his fists and his eyes glimmered with ambition. He could do it too. He too can become a god one day. But that was too far away for the current him. A tingling anticipation traveled throughout his body.

The road to the left of the sculptures was still very wide, and could fit four or five carriages side-by-side. There was a signboard next to the road with the words 'Lakeside Path' written on it.

You could faintly see a large body of water hidden within the shady green trees to the right. This also meant that there was an enormous lake behind the ten sculptures of the Golden Iron Triangle and Shrek's Seven Monsters.

'Right, left, right, left.....which is it.' He closed his eyes and picked right and ended up having to turn back and go left.

He ignored the tribute to Tang San that inherited Poseidon's title and walked on. The Sea God's Lake was indeed very large. As he followed the lakeside path to head southward, he only needed to turn westwards after a full fifteen minutes had passed. Only after he'd walked another fifteen minutes or so did the path finally begin to recede, causing a vast, rectangular plaza to appear in their line of sight. A signboard with the words 'Shrek Plaza' also stood beside the plaza.

There were many tall teaching areas behind Shrek Plaza. The colours of these teaching areas were all different, and were separated into four main colours—white, yellow, purple, and black. If one gazed into the far south of Shrek Plaza, they'd even be able to see a grey teaching area.

He happened to see an elder student leading a few youth that seemed to be prospective students and he was explaining the area. His ears perked up as he eavesdropped.

"The different coloured teaching areas represent the different years of students, which are differentiated according to the colours of soul rings. The white teaching areas are for new students, just like the lowest level ten year soul rings. Accordingly, the yellow teaching areas are for the outer courtyard's second and third year students, and the purple teaching areas are for the fourth and fifth year students. The black teaching areas are for the sixth year students. If you're able to leave the black teaching areas, you'll be able to obtain a graduation certificate from the academy's outer courtyard.

"Those grey teaching areas in the distance belong to the Soul Engineering Institution. If you compare were to compare their size here, the Soul Engineering Institution takes up roughly a third of the teaching area, while the Martial Soul Department takes up a full two-thirds. Besides these teaching areas at the front, there are also many special teaching grounds located in the back, such as the Soul Dueling Arena, the assessment areas, the dormitories, the teacher's offices, and so on."

The new students' white teaching areas were located to the far south, and were also the closest to the lakeside path. The group of them walked southwards from Shrek Plaza, arriving at the teaching area.

Because it was currently the period that new students were admitted in, the new student's teaching area was especially lively. A few new students who'd already passed their assessments were currently there to enroll.

Shen Wushang got straight to the point upon standing in front of the registration proxy, he decided to play coy,

"Es-este...emed teachers, I, I, I'm here to take the tang sects quota" He blinked innocently with that face of his. The teacher in front smiled and gave him afew things to sign, but they asked for proof.

"Oh my, i cca't believe i forgot! i should be struck by lightning hic hic i'm sawwwry....." He cried crocodile tears.

"What's wrong young one?" A female teacher patted his head and asked. He then pointed to the rolled up Bei Bei and Tang Ya, explaining that were poisoned and dying in between sobs and that he saved them and they promised him their quota, in between wails and sobs of course.

One person his box and unfolded the rolls that the two were in under the shocked gazes of the administration. A stout middle aged man hurriedly leaped over the table and looked at them, cold sweat dripped from his face as he took their hands and examined their conditions.

He hurriedly shouted, "Quick let's take them a healer right now!!"

The teachers nearby helped and they rushed towards a direction, some were puzzled by his anxious ness, yes they needed to care for their students but it was their own fault if they ended up this way, funny thing was this man who was flipping out on the quiet was quite strict.

When someone asked him, he snapped at them,-"Do you have any idea who this boy is? He's a relative to one of the most respected elders, someone who even has away in Sea God's Pavilion."

The shock in their hearts was to be imagined as only the most respected and truly strong of this school had a place there. They felt their feet get quicker as they hurried.

Shen Wushang was still crying as he continued, "I guess i can't join the hic academy then hic since i don't have any medicine and forgot to try to find where the medicine is hic" He cast a pitiful figure as he sobbed and slowly walked away.

"Wait young one! I'm sure you'll be allowed to enter the academy, they should have no problem giving you their quota since you brought them here, so don't cry okay." They hadn't left the booth unmanned and the remaining man in this particular booth called out to him.

Shen Wushang rubbed his eyes which made them red and teary, he turned and ask with a weak voice, "Really? You're not cheating me? Mom said I should be careful of liars and cheats.

The man's eyebrows twitched, 'This kid thinks I'd actually cheat him.....'

"Haaaha, of course I'm telling the truth" The man let out a wry laugh before helping Shen Wushang to return to the booth and fill out a short form and register him.

"Okay, I'll trust you kind uncle." Shen Wushang stopped crying and did as he was told.

He left afterwards after the man told him to stop crying and be more mature in the future as life at Shrek would be difficult but rewarding, he promised to do well and thanked the man before leaving. As his back faced them, his mouth was upturned wickedly.

"Ah!" , suddenly he gasped out loud after remembering something.

"I registered too early that means I'm in class one definitely but that old bags my teacher, and she's going to be annoying sigh. Damn you super brain, sigh, what's done is done I've just got to deal with it."

His steps were noticeably a bit different due to his current mood but he got to his destination nonetheless.

After passing through the white school building for first-years, and the yellow school building for second and third-year students, Shen Wushang saw the dormitory. The dormitory occupied an extremely large area, and although it was only a single building, the same four colours—white, yellow, purple, and black—were still present on it. The building's colours clearly represented the different living areas of the students from their respective years, and had a total of six floors.

Shen Wushang arrived at the entrance to the white building, and was met with the sight of a man who looked quite old. The old man had a set of grey clothes on, and the the number of flies that his wrinkles could crush to death had reached the double digits. His eyes were yellow and muddle-headed, while his eyelids were droopy. His appearance was as if he had one foot in the grave. The sunlight between the buildings spilled perfectly over his body. His body, which was half-lying in a chair, actually gave off a very comfortable feeling.

Shen Wushang walked forward and reached out, pulling his long beard and tugging it a bit. He was apprehensive at first but after meeting him, he didn't seem all that intimating. Where is the godlike aura? Where are his horns? Where are his wings?

"Aren't you being a bit rude little fellow, it's impolite to bother someone like that,", The elder was initially planning on saying nothing but he was being tugged for a few minutes now.

"Well..." No valid reason came to Shen Wushang, he acted without thinking, he knew who the old man was buthe seemed so ordinary, his hands couldn't help put attempt to poke the old man to see if he was an illusion or not, but his long beard caught his attention thus the tug beard game began. Eventually he came up with an answer.

"I -just felt like bothering you but I've got to put down my things so I'll come bother you some other time old man.", Shen Wushang waved with a smile before heading towards his dorm, the old man was a hidden expert at the peak of this world but he was on his last legs, he could squish Shen Wushang with a sneeze, but he didn't feel a thing. How odd.

It is really possible to hide all your power that cleanly? As he walked then he remembered something or more precisely didn't remember something," Old man, where is my room?" he showed his documents.

"Room 108 is the third room from my left on the first floor. The women's dorms start from the fourth floor, so you can't go upstairs at all. If we discover you up there, you'll be expelled.", The old man had a smile on his face as he waved Shen Wushang off to which Shen Wushang didn't bother replying out loud.

He had no interest in little girls, why would he go to their rooms, if it was the teacher's dorm so close then that was another story entirely. Though he didn't have the habit of comitting crimes either.

"What a troublemaker that kid is, this should be first time I had my beard pulled since I held my infant children all those years ago....", The old mad continued leaning back in his chair under the tree with yellow sunlight falling on his face through the gaps in the leaves.

After following the old man's instructions, Shen Wushang quickly found his dorm room. The dormitory had a standard hallway layout, with both sides of the long hallway having dorm rooms with numbers etched into their doors. The passage of time was clearly visible in the dorm rooms, and it could be seen that they had been in use for an extremely long amount time. The two ends of the corridor had shared bathrooms.

After using his key to open the door, a gust of slightly musty air surged out of the room. Shen Wushang held his hand over his nostrils, waited a while for the dusty air to settle, then held his breath as he charging into the room and opened the window. The room had been uninhabited for over a month, at the very minimum. A layer of dust covered the entire room.

Light rushed in with a whiff of fresh air currents.

The dorm room was very small, its area only about ten square metres or so. The two beds took up a large portion of the room's floor space, but there was also a table, two metal wardrobes, as well as a lamp on the ceiling. There were also a few metal protrusions on one of the walls. The lamps were basic soul tools that needed soulforce in order to light up, he'd seen a few be used on the way here . The metal protrusions were places that one could pour soulforce into.

"I should clean up-", With that, he hurriedly started cleaning with his rolled up sleeves, he was still in the white suit like jacket with checkered collars and a red inner velvet like cloth. He used his spirit eyes, without soulforce obviously as they were still his eyes in addition to his spirit but even without soulforce his vision was impressive.

The dust particles were all cleaned to his clean freak level of satisfaction, but he was a born controversy as he was as lazy as he was a perfectionist, lazy was his natural state while being a perfectionist was his focused state. He cleaned the room just enough for it to smell, look, and gloss right but not borderline obsessive such as going into crevices to take out small grains of dirt.

Naturally he had consumed all the nutrients his tiny frame had so he felt a bit famished, he asked around for the convenience store and bought the most expensive meal he could find, he knew the value of treating himself right, but he didn't end up buying anything as he went to his dining hall to buy from there.

Each year-group had a dining hall that belonged to them, which were located behind the dormitory. When Shen Wushang walked into the freshman dining hall, he was pleasantly surprised. At that moment, there weren't many people in the dining hall, making it appear extremely spacious. There wasn't even a single table; it was an entirely empty place. There was only a washbasin used to wash one's hands and tableware. The inner parts of the dining hall had windows that one could buy food from, with price tags outside them. There were a total of eight windows that increased in price from right to left, and all served different dishes.

There were actually no seating areas in the dining hall? The dining hall's entrance even had the words 'No food is allowed to be taken from the dining hall. No exceptions.' written on it.

After a slight pause he went to the most expensive on the left most window and ordered, it was spirit beast meat along with low grade spirit herbs which cost a total of 20 gold coins. As he bit into his food, he couldn't help but admit that it tasted good, although he was no food critic and was mainly a meat lover.

The cafeteria's attention was attracted to Shen Wushang, for the simple fact his eyes were making small streams of water.

With a muffled groan, he teared up whilst eating.

'I never knew food could taste this good, my tongue isn't the only thing feelin git, my whole body is....hevennnmhm,mnum" His mouth focused on eating. He was truly treated too poorly since he came to this world, this was the first time he had a decent meal not to mention a top-notch one cooked by a world-class chef.

After eating his brows were furrowed before relaxing, the whole point of him being at this school was to grasp certain key opportunities before he went his own way, although he had caused a lot of minor differences, it would probably be wise to follow his would be predecessor, huo yuhao and work hard, as his talent was truly horrible and he could fool around or relax later. Besides cultivation's novelty still hadn't disappeared despite the years, he was born in a barren planet which was a stark contrast to the energy In this one.

Shen Wushang returned to his room.

After sitting in a cross-legged position on the sturdy wooden bed, Shen Wushang quickly entered a meditative state, and started cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Technique. He had no one to guide him but he was always good at picking up things. It was unavoidable that he'd take a while just to complete one full cycle as his meridians were narrow and some were blocked.

The high quality food increased his soulforce a bit but even then it was hard to circulate the technique.

After a mere thirty minutes, he'd exhausted his soulforce while attempting to complete a single cycle, he didn't even finish half a cycle, but there was nothing he could do other than patiently rest and recover. He pondered a moment before deciding to work out, he started with pushups completing ten before he felt his limbs shaking.

He didn't need motivation as he already went through is personal drama of working out and not working out in an endless cycle before working out everyday, in his past life. This time was no different.

Revitalized, he slowly pushed himself up as he continued, while focusing on the trace amounts of mysterious heaven soulforce that had been converted in this small thirty minutes, he continued pushing himself up and down until his arms felt numb, a voice kept whispering for him to stop but he didn't listen despite being tempted, the numbness turned to pain and his lungs were trying to kill him with his heart being louder than a drum. He could almost feel the blood pumping and his arteries contracting.

When he collapsed unable to move, he started practicing the Mysterious Heaven Technique and it slowly revitalized him, he continued doing this day in and day out, his originally chaotic and impure soulforce had already completely turned into that of the Mysterious Heaven Technique. There was one effect of the Mysterious Heaven Technique's soulforce that was extremely useful for him—the Mysterious Heaven Technique would nourish his passageways when he circulated it. Although he couldn't see much improvement currently, He knew he would definitely improve his physique in the long run.

Shen Wushang had already planned his time out well. Every day, he'd cultivate the Purple Demon Eyes in the morning , then spend two hours practicing the Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Tracks, and the Mysterious Jade Hands, as well as working out. As for the rest of his time, other than the time he spent eating, he'd use all of it to cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Technique. It was too soon to pick up a spear. His body needed to not look like a strong gale could blow him away.

His mind was slowly growing weary of doing the same thing every day. But he forced himself too continue. At least soul force was always nice to use and observe.

Soulforce was the foundation of a soul master. Currently, he had to use as much of his as he could to cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Technique. It had already been one day since his arrival here and the sun was slowly about to rise, and he opened the window in preparation.

The pupils of his eyes looked towards the eastern sky. A faint purple cloud seemed to flash through the marble-white sky that was gradually turning bright. If you didn't have astonishing visual acuity, as well as sufficient concentration, it would be impossible for one to discover its existence.

The appearance of the purple cloud caused his eyes' attention to be focused on it. He even stopped exhaling. Instead, he lightly and slowly inhaled, simultaneously fixing his gaze on the hint of purple that had suddenly, faintly appeared.

The purple cloud wasn't present for very long. By the time the morning sun had slowly risen from the east, it had already disappeared.

Only then did he slowly close his eyes, and simultaneously exhale the impurities from his body. This was his first cultivation of Purple Demon Eyes.

When he had looked at the purple cloud in the distant east, a strong warm feeling had seemed to flow into his brain via his Spirit Eyes, causing his eyes to obtain an unprecedented nourishment; so much so that he was able to look at anything with an extremely clear level of vision without using any soulforce. Even his peripheral vision instantly expanded.

And when he had shut his eyes to contain that purple cloud, it had slowly immersed itself into his eyes. His Spirit Eyes had even started to naturally activate the soulforce within his body, causing it to merge with the purple cloud. The originally warm feeling gradually became a faint refreshing feeling that gave him an unspeakable sense of relaxation.

The Purple Demon Eyes, this was one of the major factors of him robbing them. This was the skill that was said to be the most suitable for him to cultivate! This was only the first time that he'd cultivated it, yet it unexpectedly had had such an effect. Shen Wushang felt that even the soulforce that he'd previously cultivated and upgraded for the past several months hadn't had as good an effect as this eastern purple cloud.

After a full 15 minutes, that feeling of relaxation gradually disappeared. When Shen Wushang finally opened his eyes, a faintly discernible purple light had already appeared in the depths of his clear, deep blue eyes.

He pushed up the window halfway and then left it as he begun to try and cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Techniques first cycle but he was making slow progress, but a little is better than none, bit by bit he was getting there. When his soulforce exhausted, he resorted to practicing with his spiritual power and feeling out his control over it which seemed to slowly improve with each use.

Afterwards when he was drained, he worked out, then he practiced Mysterious Jade Hands while recovering his soulforce.

Soulforce was the foundation of a soul master. Currently, he had to use as much of his as he could to cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Technique.

"Oh, this technique isn't bad at all. It's indeed quite suitable for your current state. You humans are really skilled!" When Shen Wushang had just re-entered his cultivation state, everything he saw suddenly turned white. The voice of the Skydream Iceworm also echoed out; he'd been brought back to his spiritual sea.

"What is it now worm, don't waste my time, it's precious.", Shen Wushang lazily shooed him away while unenthusiastically replying to Skydream.

"Why you unbearable little brat!! Ahem-", Skydream was absolutely furious, he was obviously much much older than Shen Wushang but he was being treated like nothing, him, the pinnacle of manliness and beauty! But he couldn't lose it before finding out what the hell was going on. He did as Shen Wushang said and read further backwards in his memories and there were actually some memories! Those memories were also quite strange. He had to get to the bottom of this.

"What's with those crazy memories you have?" Skydream's golden eyes glittered as his round head peered into the distance as he looked at the memories.

"Hut hut, not telling figure it out your self." Shen Wushang transmitted such a childish answer in his mind before ignoring Skydream's screams of indignance.

Shen Wushang returned to his meditation to practice the Mysterious Heaven Technique, he stopped to ponder his four skills every hour as well like clockwork.

The white light vanished, and Shen Wushang woke up from his meditation. He found that the sky outside had already turned completely dark. He'd actually cultivated for six hours... at the very least. The Mysterious Heaven Technique in his body also seemed to have had a slight improvement.

Feeling a little numbness and hunger in his body he headed to the dining hall.

Another day came.

After absorbing some of the mystical energy from the eastern purple qi at dawn, Shen Wushang returned to his room to start cultivating a few of the Mysterious Heaven techniques. His attainments in these techniques could be said to only be superficial. Furthermore, he didn't dedicate most of his energy to this; he was just doing some light cultivation in them.

By the time he'd finished his training session, the sky outside had already turned bright. After cleaning himself up, Shen Wushang walked over to the dining hall for some food. Once he reached the dining hall, he was somewhat concerned. Ever since he'd started cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Technique, his appetite had been rising constantly. He had robbed a lot of cash but he had no income and without one he'd go broke eventually.

He sighed and ordered his food again he felt a noticeable increase to his soulforce from the food, perhaps it was because he hadn't eaten much of such food before being so destitute as he was. By the time he returned to his dorm room which he had locked, he found it open and someone was inside,

He already knew who it was but he hadn't decided how to treat that trap with many names.

At that moment, a youth walked out of the room. After seeing Shen Wushang, he was stunned.

The youth had a delicate appearance, as well as fair skin. His large eyes were very unusual; they were actually a faint pinkish-blue. His settled short hair was also the same colour. His appearance seemed to be even more handsome than Bei Bei's.

This verified Shen Wushang's thoughts, he turned and made way for the kid as he didn't want to get too involved with her, he recalled Poseidon saying something about monitoring huo yuhao through her but he had no intention of even slightly making his presence known to the truly troublesome ones, at least not this early.

The cross dressing youth haughtily glared at him as he made way but his eyes were half closed and he didn't notice nor did he care, he went in the room.

He turned around to look at Shen Wushang as he said, "You also live in this dorm room, I assume. Since you've cleaned this room up so well, I'll allow you to live with me for now. I have a few rules that you must remember: One, you're not allowed to randomly bring other people back to this room. Two, you're not allowed to bare your disgusting naked body in this room. Three, you're not allowed to snore at night. Four, you're not allowed to bother me. Five, you're in charge of the cleanliness of this room in the future, but you can't touch my bed. Do you understand clearly?"

Shen Wushang chuckled as he heard this, a brat will be a brat, this is why I hate kids, what a nuisance, on the bright side we're the same age so I can justifiably beat his ass however she's stronger than me and I can't spar with her. He turned and put his arms to his side as he approaches his bed.

"Little child, if you don't want to be accidentally killed in your sleep, poisoned, wake up with faeces on your face, have your clothes burned, or reported for bullying, you'd better be nicer to your roommate, I'd request a transfer but I'm too lazy, now we won't be having any conversations longer than this in the future because to put it bluntly I don't like you."

Shen Wushang saw her face going red with anger as she tightly grasped her tender delicate fists. She stepped over heavily and grabbed his collar,-"What did you just say to me?!!"

Her hands shook a bit as she saw the ice cold look present in Shen Wushang's eyes as he glanced at her hands, a look that implied if she didn't unhand him she'd regret it, Shen Wushang grabbed her hand and slowly whispered akin to a devil, "I won't repeat myself and do note I'm not a good person to have as an enemy, now shut your mouth and don't bother me. "

A faint feeling of terror appeared in her heart, the girl dressing as a boy, Wang Dong, was soon filled with feelings of injustice as she thought of what just happened, she gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

"You....You, how dare you treat me like this, I'm a...@!@!@!@!"

Alas she couldn't change her girlish nature and unlike a boy who would definitely flare up with his fists, she used conversation instead, we'll one sided conversation as Shen Wushang didn't listen to a word of her ensuing complaints. At the end of the day she was but a little girl in front of Shen Wushang, how could he a middle-aged devious adult have trouble with a little thing yet to hit her teens. He didn't even have to say anything as he took out several books and deliberately made their titles visible to her.

'Poison fundamentals' 'How poison works' 'Poisonous soul herbs' as well as several other books spread over his bead. He bought them on his journey for a few copper coins to research a bit on the poison that Tang ya and Bei Bei were affected with. As expected upon seeing those titles, the clamoring Wang Dong immediately grew mute and huffily flung down his luggage and left the room while slamming the door.

On the other side of the door, the red-faced Wang Dong clenched his fists as he trembled in anger. He was the young heir to an outstanding sect. He had always been pampered since young. Who had dared to be rude to him?! Much less threaten him! At most her uncles would threaten her with beaten but this was the first time she heard such vicious threats. She didn't want to admit it but she was a bit afraid of Shen Wushang's threats.

She pondered going back in the room and apologizing before hurriedly shaking her head in denial.v 'No way I'll apologize to that person! Never!'
