Chapter 95 Leaving School
Flender had known from the start that a girl like Xiao Wu wouldn't stay at Shrek for long.
She was different from Ma Hongjun and Oscar; she had a very clear goal.
Because no other student was as desperate as she was, focusing single-mindedly on increasing her strength, even constantly honing herself on the brink of life and death.
It seemed that her goal had now been achieved.
And to be honest, the academy's help to Xiao Wu was indeed limited.
Although the academy had experts like Zhao Wuji and Li Yusong serving as teachers, their help to Xiao Wu wasn't that significant.
She had long since formed her own combat system, and that repertoire of Self-created Martial Soul Abilities made even these teachers feel inferior.
The teachers' greatest role was merely acting as sparring partners.
As for Ma Hongjun and Oscar, their strength was too far behind; they were only fit to be accessories.
So, Xiao Wu's departure was only a matter of time.
Although Flender was greedy for money, he was still the dean of an academy.
Reluctance was one thing, but he couldn't block the future of a Little Monster.
After a long silence, Flender pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said in a somewhat listless tone, "Fine, I agree!"
"Did you hear that, you little brat? The dean said he doesn't... wait—" Halfway through his sentence, Zhao Wuji suddenly reacted. He turned his head, eyes wide as he stared at Flender in shock. "Flender, what did you just say? Has your brain been squeezed by a door?"
"Your brain is the one that's been squeezed by a door."
Flender glanced at Zhao Wuji and said irritably, "You've seen the girl's strength. She could force a four-ring to admit defeat and surrender while only having a two-ring. What else can you teach her?"
"Are we really going to make her wait until she reaches level forty and becomes a Soul Sect before letting her go?"
Zhao Wuji was suddenly choked up. He opened his mouth but couldn't say a word for a long time.
Finally, his shoulders slumped as he accepted reality.
He waved his hand listlessly. "Fine, fine. You're the dean; you have the final say."
Then, looking at Xiao Wu, Zhao Wuji said with a sigh, "Little brat, congratulations... you've graduated early!"
After saying that, he ignored Flender and turned to walk toward his own room alone.
"Teacher Zhao..."
""
Xiao Wu's voice softened.
It wasn't that she had no feelings for these teachers after all this time, but compared to the academy, she wanted to be with Lin Yang more.
Flender didn't say much more; he just told Xiao Wu to stay at the academy tonight and leave tomorrow.
Back in her room, the Little Rabbit hid in Lin Yang's embrace, looking a bit unhappy.
"Lin Yang, did I do something wrong?"
Lin Yang shook his head. "You're not wrong."
"It's clear that Teacher Zhao and the others really like you, but this place is no longer suitable for you."
Hearing Lin Yang's consolation, the knot in Xiao Wu's heart finally loosened. At worst, she would just come back to visit Teacher Zhao more often in the future.
"By the way," Xiao Wu suddenly thought of something, "I haven't asked you yet. How did you know I was going to challenge a Soul Sect?"
"I didn't know," Lin Yang spread his hands, looking helpless. "I just saw from the letters you wrote me that you've been a bit restless lately. I was afraid something might happen to you, so I came to check on you."
"Who knew you'd be so bold as to directly challenge a Soul Sect."
However, the Little Rabbit was a girl after all, and her focus was clearly different from others.
Her eyes narrowed with a dangerous glint. "You mean, if you hadn't noticed, you wouldn't have planned to come see me?"
After saying that, she directly reached out and pinched Lin Yang's side. "Well then, Lin Yang, I knew it. You're in Heaven Dou every day getting all cozy with that Smelly Snake. Have you forgotten about me long ago?"
Smelly Snake?
Lin Yang was stunned for a moment, then realized she was talking about Dugu Yan.
If Dugu Yan knew Xiao Wu had given her such a nickname, wouldn't she explode on the spot?
"How could I? I've always remembered."
"You didn't even deny it," Xiao Wu's eyes widened. "You really do have something going on with that Smelly Snake. Tell me, did you submit to her just for that Immortal Herb you mentioned?"
"Eww—!"
Xiao Wu looked disgusted. "I didn't expect you to be that kind of Lin Yang. Stay away from me."
Lin Yang's face darkened.
How did this make him sound like he was living off a woman?
He clearly earned his living through his own skills, okay?
But then he thought of something and deliberately sighed. "Since someone is so disgusted, I'll just forget about the gift I prepared. No need to let someone ungrateful waste my good intentions."
At the mention of the word "gift," the Little Rabbit's eyes immediately lit up. "What gift?"
Lin Yang gave a light snort and didn't speak.
Xiao Wu immediately clung to him, her black eyes shimmering with a pink light as she acted spoiled in a sweet and cloying voice, "Lin Yang, I was wrong!"
Lin Yang's lips curled into a smile. He didn't hold it against the Little Rabbit and casually took out an Immortal Herb from his storage bracelet.
It was a huge chrysanthemum, a magnificent purple color. Most notably, its central stamen was over half a foot tall, shimmering with a golden light.
"This is the Strange Velvet Sky-Reaching Chrysanthemum, a neutral Immortal Herb. After consuming it, it can clear the eight extraordinary meridians and cultivate an Indestructible Vajra Body."
"It will not only make your Physical Body stronger but also help you Breakthrough the level thirty Bottleneck. It couldn't be more suitable for you."
Xiao Wu looked at the Strange Velvet Sky-Reaching Chrysanthemum with a sparkle in her eyes, but she quickly looked away. "This Immortal Herb... you should be able to absorb it too, right?"
Lin Yang shook his head and explained, "My second Martial Soul has undergone a secondary Awakening. In terms of physical strength alone, I'm already not inferior to a Soul King. The Strange Velvet Sky-Reaching Chrysanthemum would only be the icing on the cake for me; its effect wouldn't be significant."
secondary Awakening?
Xiao Wu didn't quite understand, but she trusted Lin Yang's judgment.
"Can I absorb it now?"
"Wait until we leave here," Lin Yang said. "We'll find a safe place then, and I'll act as your Protector."
Hearing this, a strange look flashed in Xiao Wu's eyes, and she finally whispered something in Lin Yang's ear.
Lin Yang thought for a moment and slowly nodded.
The two of them chatted until midnight before falling asleep in each other's arms.
Xiao Wu didn't like partings either, so early the next morning, the two of them quietly left Shrek Academy without alerting anyone.
However, she left a letter for everyone in her room.
To be honest, Lin Yang really didn't expect this trip to go so smoothly.
Not only did Xiao Wu master the Transparent world, but she also successfully graduated early from Shrek Academy.
He had originally thought that if Flender wouldn't let her go, he would have to use Old Poison's name to intimidate others by borrowing his authority.
As it turned out, Flender let her go so readily without making a single demand.
This made Lin Yang see him in a new light; at least he wasn't using Xiao Wu as a money-making tool.
After leaving Shrek Academy, the two didn't head straight for Heaven Dou City but instead went to the Star Dou Great Forest.
There was no safer place than under the protection of the two overlords.
In passing, they could also test whether the Transparent World could completely mask the aura of a Soul Beast.
Of course, besides these things, the Little Rabbit had her own thoughts.
She wanted Da Ming and Er Ming to meet Lin Yang.
And also let Lin Yang meet these two younger brothers of hers.
