Chapter 1590 Leaving Xingluo Continent (Please Subscribe)_1

The next day, just as Xie Xie was still sound asleep in bed, Xu Xiaoyan's urging voice came from outside the door…

"Xie Xie, the sun's already shining on your butt, why aren't you up yet?"

Xie Xie, looking annoyed, turned over and retorted, "Stop it… Disturbing someone's sweet dreams so early in the morning, even if we are going back to Shrek Academy, it should be at noon! I want to sleep!"

A sly smile appeared on Xu Xiaoyan's cheeks as she leisurely said, "Oh… Hey, I was about to tell you that the compensation from the Xingluo Empire has arrived, but since you want to sleep, I won't disturb you then!"

After saying that, she intentionally made her footsteps audible as she walked away…

Xie Xie, who had already closed her eyes, suddenly opened them wide and leapt out of bed, pushing the door open in one swift motion, her gaze fixed intently on Xu Xiaoyan in front of her…

Excitedly she asked, "Where's the compensation from the Xingluo Empire? You guys can't keep it to yourselves!"

Xu Xiaoyan glanced at her and said irritably, "What's the rush? Weren't you just going to sleep?"

With a cheeky grin, Xie Xie replied, "Sleep? Sleep my ass, spit it out, where is the compensation from the Xingluo Empire?"

Compared to the compensation from the Xingluo Empire, sleep seemed trivial!

Xu Xiaoyan disdainfully said, "What's the big hurry, as if it's going to be any less for you? Everyone is waiting in the hall right now."

Xie Xie hurriedly said, "Then what are we waiting for, let's go!"

Without waiting for Xu Xiaoyan's reaction, she grabbed her arm and dashed towards the hall…

When they finally stopped, they discovered Tang Wulin and the others sitting together, looking at a stone in the middle that shimmered with light and had strange patterns…

Ye Xinglan expressed her doubts, "What is this thing? Is it really something sent by the Xingluo Empire? It can't have been swapped, could it?"

Xu Lizhi vetoed, "Sister Xinglan, I don't think it's possible. After all, this is compensation given by the royal family of the Xingluo Empire!"

Wu Siduo said coldly, "No matter how I look at it, it seems cheap. But that's also true, how could the Xingluo Empire ever part with something as precious as a soul bone for us!"

Then, she turned to Gu Yue and asked, "Gu Yue, do you know what this is?"

Gu Yue shook her head, "I've never seen it before! But it must not be an ordinary stone!"

Despite her frequent reading of human Soul Master materials, she had never seen something like this!

Wu Siduo's beautiful eyes then turned to Tang Wulin, "Tang Wulin, what about you?"

He also shook his head, but the next second, his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something…

He promptly pulled out a forging hammer weighing several hundred kilograms from his soul tool…

He then lifted it high, ready to smash it down on the stone…

Xie Xie obviously couldn't sit still, hastily running over to stop him, "Wulin, don't do it, we still don't know what this thing is."

Xu Xiaoyan also soothed, "Yeah, Wulin, I don't think the Xingluo Empire would try to fool us with a plain stone, let's take a closer look!"

Xu Lizhi coughed and said, "Wulin, quickly… put it away. If you damage the hotel's property, we can't afford it."

Seeing everyone's expressions, Tang Wulin chuckled and explained, "You've all misunderstood. I just wanted to test the hardness of this stone; it might be a good material for forging!"

But he also thought, it was no wonder his sudden action was seen as a violent outburst of anger!

Xie Xie patted her chest and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Phew… then why didn't you say so earlier, you scared me to death!"

Xu Xiaoyan spoke with a trace of grievance, "We thought you couldn't stand it and wanted to smash the thing to bits!"

Gu Yue's eyes gleamed as she noted, "What Wulin said makes sense, I think we should give it a try!"

Wu Siduo nodded in agreement, "Yeah, if it's useful then great, and if it's useless and gets broken, there's no loss!"

Ye Xinglan said, "It seems there's no other way. Xiao Yan, Xie Xie, come a bit closer, let's let Wulin have a try!"

After hesitating for a few seconds, Xie Xie said apprehensively, "Then… Wulin, be gentle, don't smash it to pieces!"

Having gone through a life-and-death crisis to receive such a thing, if it broke, then there would be no benefit left at all!

Tang Wulin gave a thumbs-up, "Don't worry! If it's really a good forging material, it won't be easily damaged!"

Without any hesitation, he poured his Soul Power into his arm...

Taking a slow deep breath, he clenched the handle of the hammer and smashed it down fiercely...

The several-hundred-pound forging hammer whipped up a fierce wind and accurately struck the rock...

With a "bang," Tang Wulin was thrown back half a step by the recoil, but the rock remained undamaged...

Xu Xiaoyan exclaimed, "Wow, that's amazing, it's not even slightly damaged!"

Xie Xie said excitedly, "Indeed, there's not even a mark. This rock is definitely extraordinary!"

Wu Siduo propped up her chin, pondering, "Maybe it really is of some use!"

Gu Yue, on the other hand, urged, "Wulin, put a bit more strength into it!"

Regaining his balance, he nodded, no longer holding back the power granted by his Golden Dragon King's bloodline...

His aura began to climb steadily...

However, before he could proceed to the next stage of testing, the door of the hotel room was pushed open...

It was Shen Yi!

When her gaze fell on Tang Wulin with the hammer in hand, she scolded, "What are you kids up to? Do you want to tear down this hotel?"

Startled, Tang Wulin quickly released his hand and tried to explain, "No... "

The several-hundred-pound hammer fell straight to the ground...

"Boom..."

The floor below instantly cracked open, creating a large hole...

At that moment, everyone, including Shen Yi, fell silent...

After a while, Shen Yi suddenly said, "Tang Wulin, you will be responsible for this damage. Pay for it yourself— the academy will not reimburse you!"

Feeling utterly defenseless, Tang Wulin still tried to make his case, "Teacher Shen, I..."

Before he could finish, he was met with Shen Yi's icy glare...

"Do you have any objections?"

Rendered speechless by the retort, Tang Wulin could only say with a bitter face, "No... No objections!"

"If you have no objections, then hurry up and pay the bill, and then head back to the academy!"

...

Inside Sea God's Pavilion!

Cai Yue'er was the first to speak, "Now that the three Sect Leaders are planning to rebuild the Tang Sect, our Shrek Academy can also consider recruiting students again!"

Turbid World's murky eyes gleamed, "Hmm, currently the Inner Court only has a handful of students, barely more than a dozen. Even if we include the Outer Court students, that's not much more than the number of teachers!"

Lan Muzi added, "Moreover, among these students, only Yuanen Yehui has the potential to restore the Inner Court to its former glory. No matter the situation, we must introduce new blood!"

Tang Yinmeng furrowed her brows, "But this operation to eradicate the Holy Spirit Cult didn't touch their foundation. If we start recruiting now, not many Soul Masters would take such a big risk to join the academy, right?"

Ya Li smiled faintly, explaining, "Elder Tang is wrong about that; Shrek Academy has never lacked for students. As for those who dare to take the risk to join, doesn't that better demonstrate their exceptional character, worthy of being cultivated?"
