Chapter 34: False Facade

Blood splattered everywhere.

Tang San fell weakly, and at the same time, so did Xiao Wu. Amidst the shock of the others, Gu Yi finally made his move.

"Alright, let's take them all back," Gu Yi said to the few. Then he left. He believed that after this lesson, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong would change somewhat.

"Brother Yi, aren't you angry?" Oscar was now a bit confused by the current situation. Just a moment ago, he seemed ready to kill Tang San and Xiao Wu, but now he was so carefree. Was this really the same person?

Not only Oscar had such doubts, but the others did too. Could Gu Yi be suffering from split personality?

"What, do you also want to see what I look like when I'm angry?" Gu Yi walked slowly towards Oscar, looking as if he was about to give him a lesson too.

"No, I can't handle one of your kicks with my small physique." Oscar waved his hands with a smile. He understood that Gu Yi hadn't changed at all since he first met him. Serious and hardworking.

"Zhu Zhuqing, I'll leave Xiao Wu to you. I'll take Tang San back myself this time. He's been seriously injured, and if he doesn't soak in a medicinal bath, it's going to be hard for him to recover in a short time."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, watching Gu Yi's departure. This man was truly unfathomable. He had an elegant side, but also a decisive and ruthless side.

.....

Gu Yi returned to his room, looking at the demon seed in his spiritual sea, and couldn't help but smile.

Six years of martial arts training, how could a demon seed control his martial will? Everything he did before was just an act.

The reason he acted so wicked and merciless just now was entirely due to the changes brought about by letting the demon seed erode his mind. It had to be admitted that this demon seed was quite formidable. Emotions were truly terrifying.

As early as a year ago, when his martial spirit evolved he became aware of his spiritual sea. The path of cultivation was nothing more than the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit. Essence referred to physical strength, the body's blood and qi. Energy was the spirit power he was currently cultivating. Spirit represented the mind, soul, and so on.

The second awakening of the martial spirit allowed him to touch upon the edge of the spirit. Inner cultivation, martial arts, and all of it became relatively easy to understand. But the spirit, as a subject he had never touched upon, Gu Yi didn't know what to do at the time. The brainstorms from his past life were also difficult to implement. The only thing he could refer to was Tang San's Purple Demon Eye, but after half a month of trying, there was no progress.

Condensing martial will was the best way he could think of to enhance his spirit, but it was equally slow. It was also a coincidence that Gu Yi discovered that negative emotions had the greatest impact on the spirit during his research. So he condensed this demon seed.

No matter how optimistic a person was, it was impossible to always maintain positive emotions, but Gu Yi managed to achieve this with the demon seed. Whenever he absorbed all the negative emotions of the day with this demon seed, he could achieve a state of wisdom for a moment. In that state, both cultivation and understanding of martial arts became extremely rapid. His spirit also became stronger during this period.

However, this method still had a major flaw. Although negative emotions were absorbed by the demon seed, they didn't disappear but accumulated within it. The accumulation of negative emotions over days or weeks was astonishing. It was precisely because of this that Gu Yi's martial will had been increasingly powerful as it struggled against the demon seed over the past year.

"I wonder if Zhu Zhuqing can withstand this technique." Gu Yi pondered. If Zhu Zhuqing couldn't suppress the feelings of hatred and resentment in her heart, this technique would push her into an abyss.

The next day.

Gu Yi arrived at the classroom on time. Since they had agreed to the test, there couldn't be any changes. If this step couldn't be progressed, the resulting negative emotions could overwhelm the entire Shrek Academy.

"You're here early, good, good," Gu Yi praised, looking at Tang San, who still seemed a bit sluggish. He estimated that after his injuries healed, Tang San would probably be able to break through to level thirty.

As for Xiao Wu, she looked a bit scared.

"It's been almost half a month since you all arrived at Shrek Academy. We have a tradition here at Shrek, and I believe the three senior students should know," Gu Yi pointed out, directing his words at Oscar and the others. Oscar and the others showed painful expressions, clearly not wanting to recall something.

Watching them like this, Gu Yi felt very pleased. Indeed, happiness was often built on the suffering of others.

Zhu Zhuqing and the other two looked puzzled, apparently unaware of what kind of punishment they would face next.

"It seems you've all figured it out. That's right, it's the exam," Gu Yi said with a smile, far from the fierce appearance he had last night. Xiao Wu, who had been beaten last night, still hadn't recovered her spirits today and was not as lively as before.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, with her naturally cold and warm personality, she naturally had no questions.

Gu Yi took out a large stack of paper, they did not know what was written on it, but the stack was about a centimeter thick. There were only six people participating in the exam. Gu Yi used his spirit power to distribute the six exam papers to each of them.

"As a teacher, understanding one's students is fundamental," Gu Yi said, looking at the distressed individuals, continuing, "This exam paper took me several months to prepare. It covers various rare spirit beasts, martial spirits, and spirit skills that various spirit beasts can produce. In short, this exam paper covers a wide range. Due to the extensive content, the exam time is set for the morning, until noon. During this period, no whispering, passing notes, or cheating is allowed. Once caught, 100 credits will be deducted, and you will receive exclusive punishment."

Gu Yi sat in the chair in front of the classroom, closing his eyes to rest, paying no attention to their intentions.

As for the three who were taking the exam for the first time, they were stunned. Especially for Xiao Wu, this clever person, for her it was like reading a book of heaven.

Tang San was a bit better off, but only slightly. The questions on these exam papers were extremely tricky. Even though he had been taught by Yu Xiaogang since childhood, some of them were still difficult. However, when it came to certain questions, he was quite adept. Discussing the characteristics of Blue Silver Grass and the spirit rings it could produce? Wasn't this question right up his alley?

Tang San dared to say that there was no third person in the world who understood Blue Silver Grass better than him.

He directly wrote: Tolerance, non-exclusivity...

He wrote nearly a hundred words of theory in a grand and impressive manner. For Yu Xiaogang's teaching, he could be said to be obedient.
