High in the sky, the air currents surged.
A few days ago, at the request of her beloved apprentice, Brigitte once again transformed into her true form as an emerald swan.
She spread her wings, carrying everyone, and streaked through the clouds at an astonishing speed, like a streak of azure meteor piercing the sky, flying rapidly towards the metal capital, Gengxin City.
On its broad, soft back,
Dongfang Jing sat cross-legged, sorting through a thick stack of letters that his younger sister, Dongfang Yao, had sent over the past month.
Having been busy traveling to the far north, Dongfang Jing only glanced at the key points of the letter.
Now that he finally had some free time, he unfolded the letter and his sister's familiar handwriting came into view.
The words are filled with grievances and complaints.
I randomly picked up one and began to read it carefully:
——
[Waaaah. Brother, Yao'er is telling you, this guy named Yu Xiaogang is a cancer in the teaching profession!]
Last month, he tried to trick me into revealing information, asking why I cultivated so quickly and what the specific effects of my soul skills were. I made up some excuses to avoid the question.
Guess what he did the next day? He actually arranged for me to fight each of the trainees one-on-one! Those guys like Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Ma Hongjun!
I won, of course, but after the series of battles, my physical and spiritual energy were significantly depleted. And then, Yu Xiaogang, as if possessed, insisted that I fight seven opponents at once!
I strongly suspect that he saw his disciple, whom he had painstakingly nurtured, get completely outmatched by me and wanted to embarrass me and get revenge! How disgusting!
——
After reading it, Dongfang Jing's fingers tightened slightly as he held the letter.
His brows furrowed deeply, forming a deep frown.
That damned Yu Xiaogang! Even as her older brother, he couldn't bear to let Yao'er suffer the slightest grievance.
That old geezer is really something, using his teacher title to cause trouble for people!
After a series of tag teams, a one-against-seven battle ensued?
Although some of the Shrek Academy students have questionable character, they are not mediocre at all; they are among the best of the younger generation.
The letter did not describe the specific details of the battle.
But Dongfang Jing estimated that Yao'er had probably lost.
With Dongfang Yao's current strength, it's probably still a bit too much for her to defeat them all at once.
One against many?
It does help in understanding the limits of one's own abilities.
The ultimate goal is training, that's for sure.
To engage in high-intensity battles while suffering from severe depletion of soul power and physical exhaustion is utterly reckless!
If you are not careful, you can easily damage your meridians and shake your foundation!
Dongfang Jing folded the letter and then unfolded another letter:
——
[Waaah, my brother Yu Xiaogang is even more outrageous today! He actually told us not to use our soul power and to run with broken baskets full of huge rocks on our backs! From the academy to Soto City, and back ten times! That's hundreds of kilometers! And he even said that partners should share joys and sorrows.]
——
Dongfang Jing read his sister's letter word for word, and his face darkened completely.
"Ah Jing, who upset you? You look so pale." Ah Yin and Wang Qiu'er, who were sitting not far away, noticed his gloomy mood and immediately leaned closer to ask with concern.
"Sigh," Dongfang Jing sighed heavily and handed the letter to them.
Wang Qiu'er took the letter and quickly glanced at it.
But she knew nothing about the human academy and asked doubtfully, "Is there a problem with the training intensity being higher?"
Ah Yin took the letter and read it carefully, her expression gradually becoming strange.
She had lived in the human world for many years and had heard of the reputation of this "master" Yu Xiaogang.
She shook her head slightly, carefully choosing her words: "This master... seems to be somewhat unworthy of his title. Your sister and the others are only twelve or thirteen years old, a crucial time for their growth. Forbidding them from using their soul power to protect them, and then having them carry heavy loads for hundreds of kilometers? If things go wrong, they could suffer muscle strain, joint damage, bone deformities affecting their development, or even develop lifelong health problems!"
Ah Yin is right, and that's exactly what frustrates Dongfang Jing the most!
Even if Yu Xiaogang deliberately targeted Yao'er in order to elevate his disciple.
As the older brother, I naturally wouldn't let this guy off easily.
Humans have seven emotions and six desires. Some negative emotions are expressed, and although they are despicable, we can still understand the selfishness of human nature.
However, this absurd training, which could fundamentally damage Yao'er's physical foundation and affect her future cultivation prospects, has crossed his bottom line and cannot be tolerated!
Dongfang Jing recalled that a few years ago, in order to lay a good foundation for Yao'er, he also had her run a marathon in the Hall of Ten Thousand Mirrors.
But that was scientific training conducted under the premise of allowing the use of soul power for assistance, precisely calculating the weight to match the bone's bearing capacity, and ensuring that it would not harm the body! Every step was within a controllable and safe range.
After the run, he gently massaged Yao'er to help her relax.
This Yu Xiaogang is something else. He just stuffs a few stones into a broken bamboo basket and calls that carrying a load? He calls taking a medicinal bath a rest?
What happens after the run? Are there professional recovery methods? Are there high-level healing-type Soul Masters on standby at the academy?
They dare to act so recklessly without any configuration.
Does this guy even deserve to run an academy? And he even hired such a useless person who misleads students to be a teacher!
Dongfang Jing felt a little regretful. They had flown south from the far north, and if they had taken a slightly different direction, they would have reached Soto City.
In that case, he could go directly to Shrek Academy and pick up Yao'er.
But we are already far from the Tian Dou territory. Should we trouble everyone to turn back the way we came?
"Disciple, don't be angry. Getting angry will harm your health. We've arrived. Gengxin City is just below." Biji's gentle voice, filled with soothing meaning, entered Dongfang Jing's mind directly.
"Let's hurry up and finish this, then we'll go pick up your sister. I'll stand up for you then, okay?"
"Yes, thank you, Master."
Dongfang Jing took a deep breath of the thin air at high altitude, suppressing his anger.
When he turned to face the women, a calm and gentle smile had returned to his face.
It was as if the anger from just moments ago had never occurred.
Brigitte found a secluded, open space far from human habitation and slowly landed.
In a flash of light, she transformed back into human form, standing tall and graceful, noble and elegant.
Unlike my last visit to Gengxin City.
This time, the team has gained two heavyweight new members, Xue Di and Bing Di.
But problems also arise.
The Ice and Snow Emperors had not consumed the Mirror Spring of Radiant Light, and the powerful aura of top-tier ferocious beasts emanating from them could not be completely concealed.
If they were to swagger into the city like this, and were discovered by a powerful human soul master, revealing their soul beast identity, they would inevitably face trouble.
Although with their strength, even if their identities were exposed, they could easily cope and even escape.
I can definitely win a fight, and no one can stop me from leaving if I want to.
But Dongfang Jing always keeps one principle in mind.
That is, those with great power can do whatever they want, but they cannot act recklessly.
Once the identity of a soul beast is exposed, it will inevitably cause great panic and riots among ordinary civilians, and may even lead to unnecessary conflicts and bloodshed.
This is definitely not the outcome they wanted to see.
Dongfang Jing patiently explained the pros and cons to the two emperors of ice and snow.
Xue Di's cold eyes swept over him, and she nodded slightly: "That makes sense. Powerful forces need to be restrained."
Hyotei pursed his lips, somewhat impatiently, but agreed, "Fine, fine, it's a bit of a hassle, but it's better to have fewer flies buzzing around."
Dongfang Jing possesses this kind of compassion and awareness for ordinary people, even though the Ice and Snow Emperors didn't say it aloud.
But they all felt in their hearts that they had made the right choice.
This child deserves to be well cared for and allowed to grow up in peace.
