The other students inhaled sharply when they saw Lin Dan actually address Tang Wulin as "Boss"...
One male student exclaimed in surprise, "No way, Lin Dan really agreed to that demand? Doesn't that mean he can never hold his head up in class again?"
Another female student shook her head and disagreed, "That's not true; I think what Lin Dan did was right. If he didn't keep his promise, then he really wouldn't be able to hold his head up!"
"Regardless, we must not provoke that Tang Wulin; his strength is just too terrifying!"
"Yeah, yeah! Even though his Martial Soul is the Bluesilver Grass, his close-combat ability and Soul Ring Configuration are simply defying the heavens,"
Hearing these discussions, Lin Dan's face darkened...
But he had no choice but to silently bear it...
Teacher Xu clapped his hands and interrupted with a smile, "Alright, everyone get back to your seats. Next, I'll explain some things you need to be aware of at Shrek Academy!"
With that, everyone hurried back to their seats, and the atmosphere in the classroom returned to normal once again...
...
About one or two hours later, Xu Chen glanced at the somewhat tired students below and said, "That will be all for today. I'll leave the rest of the time to you all. You can go around and explore Shrek Academy!"
"Yay!! Long live Teacher Xu!!"
"Let's go, let's go have a look at the other parts of Shrek Academy!"
"Finally, it's over. We're going to be studying at Shrek Academy from now on. Just thinking about it is so exciting!"
"Exactly, if we could get into the legendary Inner Court in the future, that would be incredible!"
"Dream on, the criteria for entering the Inner Court are extremely harsh. Even the senior students at Shrek Academy barely have a few who can get in, let alone us!"
Meanwhile, the spirited students of Class Zero, with Wei Xiaofeng laughing unrestrainedly exclaimed, "That was just hilarious, I thought Tang Wulin was an honest guy, but who would have guessed he'd be so wicked, making that guy call him 'Boss'."
The corners of Tang Wulin's mouth curved up as he denied, "How am I wicked?"
But the smile at the corner of his mouth couldn't be concealed...
Xie Xie glanced at Lin Dan on the other side and added fuel to the fire, "The key is, he couldn't refuse under the watchful eyes of everyone, tsk tsk tsk..."
Thinking about the previous mockery from someone who now had to call him 'Boss,' the taste of that was just too satisfying!
Wang Jinxi smacked his lips and said, "But the guy can really bend and stretch; he actually did call him out! Tang Wulin, how does it feel?"
Zhang Yangzi blinked and said, "Jin Xi, is that even a question? It must feel like his blood is flowing freely and he's in high spirits!"
Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue exchanged glances, both revealing a knowing smile...
After most of the students had left the classroom, Teacher Xu stepped forward to them...
Looking at everyone with a light chuckle, he said, "Haven't seen you for half a day, did you miss me?"
Seeing him, Xie Xie said with a sort of plaintiveness, "Teacher Xu, you deceived us so badly. This morning we were sad thinking we'd be separated from you!"
Xu Xiaoyan pouted and said, "Exactly, Teacher Xu, we thought that we wouldn't see you for a long time, and then... Humph!"
Wei Xiaofeng clutched his chest, putting on a wounded expression, "Teacher Xu, shouldn't you comfort our injured hearts?"
Tang Wulin's eyes shone as he agreed, "Yeah, Teacher Xu, you made us waste so much emotion for nothing; isn't it only right that you treat us all to a good meal?"
Teacher Xu pursed his lips and propped up his chin, saying, "Didn't I say I would give you a surprise?"
Zhang Yangzi retorted, "We thought the surprise you were talking about was waiving the assessment and admitting us directly, who knew it was actually you coming to Shrek Academy to be a teacher."
However, this also filled them with a bit of pride; even after coming to Shrek Academy, he still had the capability to assume the role of a teacher!
"So that's it... Alright then, let's go,"
...
The snowy plain stretched as far as the eye could see, a desolate expanse of white swallowing up the land ahead. There, the solemn figure of Wu Changkong, his complexion bearing the marks of age, trudged laboriously through the snow...
It was faintly visible that his left sleeve was now empty, tightly bound with a blood-stained bandage...
That had happened during a battle with a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Caught off guard, his arm was torn off, but fortunately, he had narrowly escaped with his life!
His pale blue eyes scanned the horizon. Suddenly, they seemed to catch a glimpse of an unusual halo of light shimmering on the snow-covered ground ahead...
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an Immortal Herb enveloped in cherry-red petals, its entire form snow-white...
If it weren't shimmering with light, it would have been very difficult to spot!
At this moment, excitement tinged Wu Changkong's voice, "That is... an Immortal... Immortal Herb!!"
He had found it! He had found the Immortal Herb that could revive Long Bing, after surviving the encirclement of countless soul beasts!
However, just as he was about to reach for the Immortal Herb, heavy footsteps thudded in the distance again...
Several soul beasts with a cultivation level of fifty thousand years appeared one after another, revealing their massive forms and fixating their blood-red eyes on Wu Changkong...
Their killing intent thick in the air, unmasked...
Wu Changkong's brows furrowed as he whispered to himself, "Have they tracked me here by scent?"
The Immortal Herb was just in front of his eyes, and if missed, he didn't know when he'd find another!
Therefore, against such soul beasts, the only option was to fight!!
With this thought, Wu Changkong's spirit stirred, and a longsword with a cold gleam appeared in his right hand...
Gripping it tightly, he focused his entire being on the soul beasts before him!
He had to be fully alert; a single mistake could not only cost him the Immortal Herb but also his life!
Seemingly sensing Wu Changkong's fighting spirit, the soul beasts in front issued a series of roars, "Roar~~"
Then, one of the soul beasts charged at Wu Changkong with hurried steps...
The latter had to sidestep at the last moment, just barely skimming past its skin to avoid the attack...
Seeing this, the other soul beasts also charged from two different directions, aiming to use their sharp horns to tear Wu Changkong apart...
This scene made his pupils contract slightly, as he exclaimed in shock, "They've actually developed intelligence and know how to cooperate?"
With that realization, his second soul ring immediately lit up...
Second Soul Skill, Frost Dance!
As Wu Changkong unleashed his Soul Power, dense layers of deep blue mist began to float around him, obscuring all sight...
However, the two soul beasts charged as if they didn't need vision at all, still aiming straight for Wu Changkong...
His heart tightened, "No good! I forgot their sense of smell is extremely keen!"
Even without vision, they could still pinpoint his location by scent!
With no other choice, he extended his longsword, holding it defensively in front of him, trying to fend them off...
When the collision came, a loud "Bang!" echoed, and Wu Changkong was sent flying tens of meters back by the terrifying force...
