Chapter 180: Mu En: “bai E, What Is Your Dream?”
“Oh no!”
“Mademos! Lend me your homework for the Soul Beast Identification class quick, let me copy it!”
At this moment in Shrek Academy, Class 1 of Year 1, Bai E looked panicked and flustered as he borrowed homework from Mademos next to him.
This guy had been practicing his martial arts too excitedly a few days ago and completely forgot about the homework.
Although Shrek Academy had many shortcomings, some of its Soul Master cultivation facilities were truly number one on the continent.
The training ground even had dedicated teachers guiding students, and Bai E had gained quite a bit of knowledge there.
Mademos was currently meditating with his eyes closed. After hearing Bai E’s words, his body paused, and then he said nothing.
Seeing him like this, Bai E immediately widened his eyes and said:
“You didn’t write it either?!”
Mademos opened his eyes and said to Bai E:
“Didn’t write it.”
During this time, Mademos had been staying in the Fighting Arena, achieving a record of one hundred battles and ninety-eight wins.
He lost twice: once to an Inner Court senior at the Soul Emperor level, and the other time to Bai E who had fully unleashed his power.
Normally, it would be a fifty-fifty fight between him and Bai E, but unfortunately, Bai E had a cheat in his body.
The Destruction God King occasionally gave him special training.
Nowadays, Outer Court students had figured it out: unless you were a Soul King or above, you were no different from a loli in front of Mademos.
And Soul King level students were basically all in the Inner Court; even sixth-years were rare.
The Golden Lion King would equally beat every arrogant genius and monster.
The Outer Court had even started calling Mademos by the nickname “Ten Thousand Enemies.”
However, although challenging Mademos would result in a brutal beating, there were still a large number of students enthusiastic about fighting him.
Because Outer Court students had discovered that Mademos’s control over power was extremely perfect; even if you got brutally beaten, it wouldn’t harm your foundation, just some painful flesh wounds.
Moreover, generally after challenging Mademos, a cute girl with pink twin tails would heal both sides.
That healing power, comparable to the Emerald Swan, made some healing system teachers feel a bit ashamed.
According to rumors on the Magic Net Forum, two Shrek higher-ups were already competing to become that pink-haired girl’s teacher.
And in Shrek City, the entire South District was completely under Enthusiasm’s control due to Gu Yue Na’s hard work.
The encroachment on the City Defense Army had spread to the West Gate and North Gate.
The East Gate was in Shrek Academy’s hands, so there was really no way.
Currently, under Enthusiasm’s vigorous development, the entire South District had connected trade with the Heaven Dou Plain, and large quantities of soul tools and goods were flooding into the South District.
The South District had become the most economically developed area in Shrek City.
Shrek Academy’s Soul Tool Department was also strongly supporting South District’s development, even planning to place a new type of soul tool factory in the outskirts outside the South District.
Half a month ago, after Huo Yuhao came out of the Land of Dreams, he saw Xian Lin’er and Qian Duoduo arrive at Enthusiasm.
After hearing their request, Huo Yuhao thought about it and prioritized selling them twenty soul tool machine tools.
Xian Lin’er and Qian Duoduo paid double the price for this, about four hundred million gold soul coins.
The Soul Tool Department didn’t have enough money themselves, so through Mu En, they took some from the Martial Soul Department and finally completed the delivery successfully.
Expected to arrive in Shrek City in batches half a month later.
Yan Shaozhe was furious but dared not speak out about this, because it was personally approved by the teacher.
In addition, a while ago, Roman suddenly reported to Huo Yuhao that a statue belonging to the Destruction God King had suddenly appeared in Shrek City.
But it was quickly moved away by another force belonging to the Sea God’s divine power.
According to reports from Enthusiasm members spread across the continent, this missing statue ultimately arrived at the Sunset Forest.
Blue and purple anomalies appeared in the sky above the entire Sunset Forest.
Suspected to be a great battle between two unknown existences!
As for the final result? The statue of the Destruction God King still existing in the Sunset Forest to this day is the final outcome.
After hearing this information, Huo Yuhao nearly laughed himself unconscious.
The Destruction God King was truly reliable; when there was something, he really stepped up!
He had been worrying about how to enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and the Destruction God King directly sent him divine assistance.
Looking at this situation, Tang Buddha might have already lost control over the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
To what extent exactly would still require Enthusiasm personnel to investigate.
Huo Yuhao dispatched the Root Third Squad to lead ten D-level personnel to deeply enter the Sunset Forest and scout the situation.
The Root Third Squad carried soul tool armor made from Ice Extreme Divine Crystals, which could resist the poisonous fog formed by the Blue Scale Seven Absolutes Flower.
First, the D-level personnel would wear the armor to enter the poisonous fog for scouting, and only after confirming survival would the Root Third Squad act.
During this time, Adam would ensure their safety, and immediately cooperate with Audrey to pull the Root Group into the Dream Space if any accidents occurred.
Back to Class 1 of Year 1.
Bai E, upon learning that even Mademos hadn’t written the homework, felt like the sky had fallen!
He slumped over his desk, eyes lifeless. The last in-class test assigned by Teacher Wang Yan had been a mess for him, and now he hadn’t even written the homework.
This time, he was probably going to get scolded.
Mademos pulled out his homework from the drawer, with the textbook placed beside it, his eyes seeming to hide a lion.
He immediately began writing furiously.
“Hmph!”
“My dictionary has no such words as ‘overdue homework’.”
“Idiot, there’s still twenty minutes until class. If you’re fast enough, you can still finish.”
Seeing Mademos already struggling madly, Bai E suddenly stood up, his blue eyes burning with fighting spirit as he said:
“Makes sense!”
“Let’s write!”
The two began writing furiously in the class, their writing speed creating afterimages, even with a competitive vibe.
The surrounding classmates were long used to it. After two months of studying and getting along, the students in the class already knew that these two ridiculously strong guys were actually very nice people.
If you had doubts about power usage issues, you could ask Mademos; though a bit cold, he would patiently help solve the problem.
Bai E was even more famously warm-hearted; everyone liked this classmate who was as warm as the sun.
Wang Yan was passing by the classroom window at this moment and saw the two writing furiously, a smile appearing on his face.
Two months ago, when he took over this class, Dean Yan had personally come and told him to take good care of Bai E and the others.
At the time, he thought they were children of Sea God Pavilion elders, second-generation ancestors, and was a bit worried about their personalities.
Unexpectedly, after getting along with them later, he discovered that these kids had angel-like personalities and terrifyingly extreme talent.
Having led classes for so many years, Wang Yan had never seen such a ridiculous year.
Mademos’s power was the legendary ultimate power, and Bai E’s light was also extreme light.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t explain why they could crush seniors with much higher cultivation at the high-tier Great Soul Master level.
The previous battle between that Inner Court Soul Emperor and Mademos, Wang Yan had watched, worried something might happen.
Unexpectedly, Mademos could actually go back and forth with that Soul Emperor, even though the opponent wasn’t an assault type Soul Master.
Unfortunately, the cultivation gap was too large, and he was still beaten out of the arena.
But this battle also made the entire school recognize this Year 1 freshman and his partners.
Everyone knew that Year 1 had two Second Ring super monsters who could barely contend with Sixth Rings.
Simply terrifying.
“Hmph hmph.”
“However, having good talent isn’t a reason to forget homework.”
Wang Yan pushed up his glasses, sunlight blocking his eyes. He planned to have Feng Jin collect the homework exactly twenty minutes later, not giving the two any extra time.
If Wang Yan didn’t remind her, Feng Jin would probably secretly give the two more time.
It was worth mentioning that Feng Jin was the class president of Class 1 of Year 1.
Initially, Wang Yan wanted Bai E to be class president because of his strong strength and good popularity.
But Bai E politely declined, feeling he wasn’t suitable; he had some self-awareness of his own academic level.
In the end, Feng Jin and Ti Bao became class president and vice president respectively.
The students of Class 1 had no objections; after all, Feng Jin was a famous healing system Soul Master, and everyone was eager to please her.
Moreover, hadn’t the two strongest in the class supported it? Following the strong is always the instinct of the majority.
Under Feng Jin and Ti Bao’s leadership, Class 1 had the strongest overall learning atmosphere, and its strength goes without saying.
Wang Yan had never felt being a homeroom teacher was so easy.
He felt that leaving Zhou Yi’s class back then was an extremely correct decision!
Class 1 of Year 1 was not only worry-free and effortless, but also had several ridiculous martial souls to research.
As one of the few true theoretical masters in Shrek Academy, after getting permission from Bai E and the others, he began researching their five people’s martial souls.
Then provided reasonable training plans and future soul ring suggestions.
This training plan was dynamic; Wang Yan would constantly adjust it to train all aspects of the five people.
Developing various shortcomings while ensuring their advantageous aspects.
For this, Wang Yan specially went to the Inner Court by all means to retrieve Shrek’s research reports on extreme martial souls, organized them, and handed them to Mademos and Bai E.
He himself didn’t have an extreme martial soul and was seeing one for the first time; much of the training had to be adjusted bit by bit based on actual situations.
This was also the biggest ideological difference between him and Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi believed Soul Masters should release potential under extreme pressure, emphasizing high pressure.
Wang Yan simply couldn’t agree with this concept!
Utterly absurd!
If pure high pressure could squeeze out Soul Master potential, why would these geniuses come to Shrek Academy?
They could do high-pressure training at home too!
As a teacher, one must constantly adjust training methods based on students’ situations, using reasonable methods for comprehensive Soul Master development.
In the end, Wang Yan could only apologize to the students of Class 1 of Year 2 and resolutely came to Class 1 of Year 1 to practice his concept.
Clearly, he had chosen correctly; Class 1 of Year 1 was undoubtedly the most potential-filled class in Shrek’s thousand-year history.
These super geniuses like Bai E had very good personalities too! Very much to Wang Yan’s taste.
He had heard that this year’s Year 1 also qualified for the Shrek Academy reserve team selection.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but want to laugh; Wang Yan had no doubt all five kids could get in!
Huo Sui’er from Year 2 Class 1 goes without saying; she was Xuan Lao’s beloved disciple, the kind he wished to feed all resources to.
Her soul rings were all chosen from super soul beasts; Xuan Zi was even worried about dropping the ball again and proactively asked Elder Song for help in hunting souls together.
Others didn’t matter, but Huo Sui’er was his only beloved disciple! Both inheritors of the Taotie bloodline; probably only these two on the entire continent!
If something happened to her, Xuan Zi would really want to die.
However, Wang Yan hadn’t seen Huo Sui’er for a while; he heard from Xuan Lao that she seemed to be in secluded cultivation.
Thus, the entire Shrek Outer Court should be competing for the last spot.
Who would stand out?
For this generation’s Shrek geniuses, Wang Yan felt pity for them, as they were destined to be firmly suppressed by a few super monsters!
Second Ring could already fight Soul Kings; what about Third Ring, Fourth Ring?
Wang Yan returned to the office with a smile, and the surrounding teachers looked at him enviously.
Having such a group of monsters in hand, the future was promising!
Feng Jin was already waiting in the office early; Wang Yan smiled and said to her:
“Feng Jin, go collect the homework.”
“But don’t give Bai E and them extra time.”
“Oh, right.”
“Did Elder Zhuang and Elder Song cause you any trouble a while ago?”
Hearing this, Feng Jin helplessly shook her pink-to-blue gradient twin tails and said:
“Those two started arguing right after meeting.”
“When they couldn’t convince each other, they started fighting.”
“It scared me at the time; later Lin’er and others took them back.”
“Don’t know what happened after that.”
Wang Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:
“I see.”
“You handle it as you see fit.”
“After all, it’s about your future.”
“But remember, when making your choice, don’t let yourself regret it!”
Feng Jin nodded and said:
“Mm.”
“Teacher Wang Yan, I’ll go collect the homework!”
Feng Jin cheerfully headed to Class 1, and Bai E and Mademos were about to face the final moment.
In the office, several teachers couldn’t help but say:
“This year is really ridiculous.”
“Talent stronger than the last.”
“I thought Dai Huabin, Ning Tian, Wang Dong and others from Year 2 Class 1 were genius enough, but there are even stronger ones!”
“Two elders fighting over a disciple; it’s my first time seeing this!”
One of the teachers whispered:
“Heard a rumor that Bai E and Mademos were already booked by some great power!”
“No one dares to compete!”
Wang Yan listened to them without saying anything, continuing to analyze each student in the class individually.
Finding suitable directions for them.
After all, the New Student Assessment was coming up soon.
Some students who couldn’t keep up might leave because of it.
Wang Yan didn’t want them to leave Shrek empty-handed; at least let him give these kids some development suggestions.
At this moment in Class 1 classroom.
Bai E and Mademos looked serious, their hands moving at blinding speed; Feng Jin was approaching them with devilish steps.
The surrounding classmates swallowed, not knowing how to help, so they pretended to have lost their homework, bending down to search and delaying Feng Jin’s steps.
“Bai E, Mademos, take this! This is our final ripple!”
“Finished writing!”
“Done!”
Bai E and Mademos stopped writing almost simultaneously and handed the homework to Feng Jin.
Feng Jin took the homework, breathed a sigh of relief, and said:
“As long as it’s finished.”
“Otherwise, you two would definitely get scolded again.”
Bai E confidently patted Mademos’s thigh next to him and said:
“Believe in our abilities!”
…………
“Sigh! Still got scolded in the end.”
Bai E and Mademos were punished by Wang Yan to run a lap around Sea God Lake.
Mademos looked at him and said:
“Alright, hurry up and run.”
“Otherwise, the shower rooms will have no spots soon.”
Although these two wrote fast, by the end, their handwriting had become scribbles; Wang Yan stared for a long time without recognizing what those characters were.
In the end, he made them run a lap around Sea God Lake as a light punishment.
Although Sea God Lake was large, with their physical fitness, the two could run it very easily.
After Bai E and Mademos finished running and were preparing to pack up and leave.
Mu En had somehow wheeled his wheelchair over to their side.
He chuckled and said:
“Bai E, can you accompany this old man for a bit?”
Bai E glanced at Mademos, smiled at Mu En, and said:
“Of course, Grandpa Mu!”
Mademos got the hint and said to Bai E:
“I’ll head back first.”
“Don’t forget the time; the cafeteria closes in one hour.”
Bai E said to him:
“Thanks!”
“Let’s go, Grandpa Mu. I’ll take you for a walk by Sea God Lake.”
Then, Bai E pushed Mu En’s wheelchair along Sea God Lake; the two enjoyed the cool lake breeze and watched the sunset on the horizon.
Bai E excitedly recounted school’s fun incidents; Mu En listened with a smile, his eyes filled with reminiscence.
Looking at the reddening sky, bathed in the gentle and warm breeze, it seemed like returning to his school days of old.
Finally, Bai E pushed Mu En to a viewing platform, where one could clearly see the Golden Ancient Tree and a large area of Sea God Lake.
“Grandpa Mu, this is the place with the best view that I found!”
“When free, I’ll come here with Mademos and them to enjoy the scenery or chat.”
Bai E walked to the wooden railing, spread his arms as if embracing the blowing lake wind.
Mu En gazed from here at the distant Golden Ancient Tree, lost in thought, his eyes slightly dazed. Suddenly, he asked Bai E a question.
“Bai E, everyone has their own wish.”
“Can you let me know what your wish is?”
Hearing this, Bai E paused, turned back, and said:
“My wish?”
“My wish is to realize everyone’s wishes!”
“That’s my wish!”
The sunset’s afterglow scattered on Bai E’s brilliantly smiling face, a bit silly yet resolute.
Mu En’s throat trembled, his heart pounding hard; he hadn’t expected this answer from Bai E!
He had anticipated many answers, like becoming stronger, exterminating evil Soul Masters, avenging his former village.
But he never imagined Bai E’s answer would be this simple yet great.
Mu En’s voice trembled slightly as he said:
“Why?”
Bai E smiled and said:
“I like strolling with partners in golden wheat fields, free and easy, enjoying the breeze.”
“I hope they all achieve their goals: Mademos wants to defeat various strong enemies, Feng Jin wants to become a doctor…………”
“And I just want to protect their wishes, and everyone’s!”
“Once a voice asked me what destruction is.”
“It was hard to answer, because to me, even destruction is for the next dawn and new birth!”
Bai E’s smiling appearance deeply etched into Mu En’s mind; Mu En gripped the wheelchair armrest tightly, unable to hold back and said:
“Good!”
“Good!”
In the God Realm, the God of Destruction in the Forest of Life couldn’t help trembling, his face smiling as if dyed with Yu-Gi-Oh!.
Thanks to all the big shots for the monthly tickets, love you all to death. OrZ
