Chapter 169 Leaving (Please Subscribe)_1

The Old Demon Greed, seeing the situation, smiled and said, "You've made the right choice!"

The Lazy Old Demon beside him, however, expressed his discontent, "Greed, are you really not planning on testing this kid? You are the strongest among us!"

The trials of the old demons had only missed one target: they hadn't succeeded in tormenting Tang Wulin, and it was needless to say how irritated they felt inside!

Now, they were desperate for the Old Demon Greed to torment him on their behalf!

Upon hearing this, the Old Demon Greed responded, "There's no need. I can sense that this kid won't be consumed by greed, unless we erase some of his memories!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin muttered in his heart, "What I love most is money, though!"

Then, he turned his gaze toward the Devouring Demon, "Devouring Demon, you must still have some food, right? Can I...?"

The Devouring Demon turned his head away, saying coldly, "No!"

Tang Wulin then looked towards the Lazy Old Demon, hoping, "Lazy Old Demon, the delicacies you mentioned before, were they real...?"

The Lazy Old Demon also crossed his arms, "They weren't. If you want to eat, go find something in the forest yourself!"

This little guy actually had the audacity to ask him for food! Didn't he realize how distraught he was feeling now?

After that, the old demons one after another left...

Tang Wulin shook his head and sighed, "What a bunch of fickle creatures they are!"

They had claimed before that there would be delicious food and comfortable rooms to welcome him!

Now, there was nothing!

Having no choice, he could only begin meditating cross-legged...

But no matter what, he couldn't reach the depth of meditation he had achieved back in the treehouse...

...

Another month passed by, and Ye Xinglan was the second to break free from the illusion, followed respectively by Yuanen Yehui, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan...

Yue Zhengyu, due to the psychological impact he sustained, was the last one to break free from the illusion!

Ye Xinglan, curious, asked, "Wulin, how long have you been waiting here for us?"

Tang Wulin, having finished his meditation, pondered a bit and answered, "About a month, I guess!"

Xu Lizhi exclaimed in surprise, "You actually finished faster than us. Wulin, how did you do it!"

Tang Wulin scratched his head, "It's a long story! I'll tell everyone when there's time."

Xie Xie glanced at Yue Zhengyu, whose face appeared pale, and teased, "Zheng Yu, how come you're so weak? You were the last one to break free from the illusion, even Xiao Yan and Lizhi were faster than you!"

Yue Zhengyu gave him a cold look, "Shut up, I'm not in the mood for jokes!"

Every time he thought of what happened in the illusion, his entire being was clouded with a psychological shadow!

Sensing his mood was off, Xie Xie tactfully chose not to continue...

Only Xu Xiaoyan showed a look of concern, "Zheng Yu, are you okay?"

It clearly looked like he had suffered a great deal in the illusion!

Yue Zhengyu's face softened a bit, "Xiao Yan, I'm fine, just need to rest a bit!"

Tang Wulin's gaze was filled with sympathy as he looked at him...

He saw clearly what had happened in the illusion!

The person he liked transforming into an old, toothless grandma in the midst of that kind of act, it was simply too despairing!

Of course, he didn't plan on speaking out about such matters!

At that moment, the seven old demons reappeared beside them...

Leading them was the Old Demon Greed, with a faint smile, "Congratulations on successfully completing all the trials and becoming the new Shrek Seven Monsters! Of course, I must remind you that what you will face from now on will no longer be illusions!"

Having spoken, he then looked towards the other Old Demons, "Which of the Old Demons is willing to escort these children off the island?"

Upon hearing these words, the rest of the Old Demons all stepped back expressionlessly…

This scene made Xie Xie and the others' faces twitch...

They were about to leave, yet couldn't these Old Demons leave them with one good impression?

Even Old Demon Greed was somewhat astonished, "Alright... now, I'm adding a challenge, you must rely on your own strength to leave Demon Island! It seems that the other Old Demons are not prepared to help you!"

Tang Wulin nodded, "Hmm, Senior, since we are about to leave, I'll tell you what happened before now!"

With those words, he then recounted the matter he had promised to reveal…

After listening, Old Demon Greed suddenly realized, "So that's how it is, you actually possess a faint Life Force and Destruction Force? And it didn't bring about any side effects!"

Desire Demon also clicked his tongue and said, "What a lucky kid! You were actually able to absorb these two powerful forces!"

After a pause, he continued, "However, I advise you not to use them casually in the outside world, for these two forces might draw the scrutiny of the Higher Realm Gods!"

Because this is Demon Island, the aura of the two forces is blocked off, but once you leave, there's a high likelihood of being sensed by a God!

Moreover, not all Gods are good!

Tang Wulin nodded slightly, "Thank you for the warning, Senior. I'll be careful!"

To attract the attention of a God…

Doesn't that mean I also have a chance to gain the God Position?

Of course, it was just a joke; he didn't think any God would take notice of him!

...

After they drove off in the military vehicle from the Northsea Legion...

Unsurprisingly, everyone took a deep breath, feeling as though they had come back to life!

Everything on Demon Island had been so oppressive, they could hardly breathe!

Xie Xie stretched and yawned, "Phew, this trip to Demon Island is finally completed in a satisfactory manner. We are the honorable Shrek Seven Monsters."

Xu Xiaoyan laughed softly, "Yes, with the makeup and stealth skills taught by the various Old Demons, it was a breeze deceiving those officers of the Northsea Legion. I can already picture their bitter faces!"

Yue Zhengyu said solemnly, "Hold on, speaking of us being the Shrek Seven Monsters, don't we have eight people? No, including Gu Yue, that should be nine people!"

Xu Lizhi exclaimed in surprise, "Right, does that mean we should become the Shrek Nine Monsters?"

Tang Wulin shook his head, "That's unlikely. Shrek Academy only has Seven Monsters; it's a tradition that has always been maintained! It probably won't be broken because of us!"

Ye Xinglan propped up her chin and pondered seriously, "That means, amongst the nine of us, there are two who cannot become the Shrek Seven Monsters?"

Xu Xiaoyan smiled slightly, "It seems that way. However, whether we are the Shrek Seven Monsters or not does not affect our friendship. Right, everyone?"

Wu Siduo unexpectedly replied with a simple, "Hmm."

Tang Wulin changed the subject, "Okay, let's drop the subject for now. What is everyone planning to do now? Head back to the academy?"

Xie Xie took the lead, "I don't plan to return to the academy. After such rigorous training on Demon Island, I need to go back home and rest properly!"

Xu Xiaoyan also spoke up, "I'm going to visit my family; there's plenty of time anyways."

Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi exchanged a look and both could see each other's thoughts…

"Lizhi and I will return to the academy to consolidate our Soul Power as much as possible!"

Tang Wulin pursed his lips, "Alright then, let's meet up at the academy in a month's time!"
