The seven students of Shrek Academy had arrived, with only Oscar remaining.
After a long while, he finally arrived late. Flander initially wanted to reprimand him, but upon hearing that Oscar had also broken through to level 30, he was overjoyed and his face was full of smiles.
Three students breaking through to level 30 in a single day was truly a blessing for Shrek.
Flander immediately decided that after class today, he would have Zhao Wuji take everyone to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beasts.
In the shadows, Tang Hao said to Yin Yang, "Brother Yin Yang, I have a favor to ask of you. I know that Ning Rongrong is going to hunt Soul Beasts, and you will definitely accompany her to protect her. Could you also protect my boy?"
"Oh? From what you're saying, you're planning to leave?" Yin Yang inquired.
Tang Hao nodded, "Yes, I have some things to do. I'll have to trouble you here. With you, a Titled Douluo, here, I can rest assured."
"I'm not that free. Don't forget about the 100,000-year Soul Beast. Do you think I would help you?" Yin Yang harbored resentment towards Tang Hao, so how could he agree to help him?
Tang Hao had anticipated this, "I won't ask you to help for nothing. This is a protection fee."
With that, Tang Hao flipped his hand, conjuring a set of pitch-black armor from who knows where.
"This is? Black Sky Armor?" Yin Yang recognized the armor. This armor was a soft armor. The past Tang Hao was one of the three great divine blacksmiths of the Douluo Continent. The Black Sky Armor was his masterpiece when he was young.
This set of armor not only had extremely high defensive power, enough to withstand several attacks from a general Soul Emperor-level Soul Master, but it was also made of extremely special metal, with strong ductility. Anyone could wear it, making it a top-grade work. It wasn't precious to any extreme degree, but it was barely enough as a few days' protection fee.
"Alright, but I'll say this first, I can only try my best to protect Tang San while protecting Rongrong and Xiao Tian. If we really encounter danger that even I can't solve, the first person I'll save will definitely be my own child. Don't blame me then." Although Yin Yang agreed, he made his position clear.
Tang Hao wasn't angry upon hearing this. It was only human nature. However, he wasn't too worried. After all, they were only going to hunt thousand-year Soul Beasts, and they would probably only wander around the periphery of the Star Dou Great Forest. Even if Yin Yang didn't act, Zhao Wuji alone would be enough.
He just wanted to add an extra layer of insurance. Now that Yin Yang had agreed to take care of Tang San, he could leave with peace of mind.
"Brother Jun, are you planning to come with us on this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest?"
At the Academy gate, Tang San asked Tianlin. After all, he wasn't a member of the Academy, and the dean couldn't order him to do anything.
Tianlin nodded, "Of course. Rongrong's crucial Third Spirit Ring, I must personally oversee it."
Tianlin wouldn't be absent this time, because he had a plan to execute, and he didn't know why, but ever since he came to the Star Dou Great Forest with Chen Xin, he always felt that something in the forest was attracting him.
Curiosity prompted him to revisit the Star Dou Great Forest!
"You little brats, are you ready? We're setting off!" At this moment, Zhao Wuji walked out with a head full of bumps. Compared to the original story, he not only had traces of being injured by great force, but also many places on his skin were charred by lightning.
Tianlin secretly gloated in his heart. This guy must have bullied the children like in the original story. The others didn't matter, but since he bullied Rongrong, he deserved to be beaten by Eagle Grandpa.
Hearing the words "little brats," Xiao Wu, who was transformed from a rabbit, was a little unhappy and whispered, "Why not say little bear cubs!"
As a Soul Sage, how could Zhao Wuji not hear her? He glared at Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, what are you saying?"
Tang San immediately protected Xiao Wu like a calf. Seeing Tang San, Zhao Wuji thought of the Clear Sky Douluo's power, and his wounds throbbed faintly, so he didn't say anything more.
Everyone hurried on their way, and to speed up, they all fully mobilized their Soul Power.
Tianlin noticed that he couldn't feel Xiao Wu's aura at all at this moment. It seemed that she had already taken an Aura Concealing Pill.
This was also within Tianlin's expectations. In this world, the only ones who could see through Xiao Wu's identity were human powerhouses above level 80, or other 100,000-year Soul Beasts, and then herself.
The first step in getting the Aura Concealing Pill was of course to test whether it was real. When she discovered yesterday that even she couldn't sense her own 100,000-year Soul Beast aura, she was unspeakably excited. She could finally rest assured and venture into the continent with Tang San.
Tianlin smiled slightly. This was exactly what he wanted. The first step in destroying an important opportunity for Tang San was now complete.
As night fell, the group was already very close to the Star Dou Great Forest. However, entering the forest at night was quite dangerous, so they stopped when they reached a small town.
In the town, Zhao Wuji led the group to the entrance of a seemingly ordinary hotel and said, "Let's stay here tonight and set off early tomorrow morning. You'll have to cover your own accommodation and food expenses."
This guy had been with Flander for too long and had completely inherited his stinginess.
"Rongrong, you can continue to share a room with me!" Tianlin said with a smile, stroking Rongrong's hair. He still wanted to cultivate with Ning Rongrong at night.
Ning Rongrong nodded obediently. They had been sharing a room since they were little, and they no longer felt any shyness between a boy and a girl.
Of course, they still maintained a platonic relationship, and hadn't done anything out of line. After all, they were still young, and cultivation should be their priority.
"Hongjun, get your own room, and put the expenses on my tab. Also, order whatever you want to eat later. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School isn't short on money!" Tianlin then looked at Ma Hongjun. He was always extremely generous to his little brother.
As long as Ma Hongjun remained loyal to the school in the future, he wouldn't mind giving him everything the best, just like he did with Gu Ran.
"Thank you, Boss. It seems I've joined a very generous school. I won't have to worry about food and drink in the future!" Ma Hongjun said excitedly.
He didn't hold back and immediately ordered a large table of dishes. Just as everyone was about to start enjoying their meal, the hotel door was kicked open, and a group of arrogant people walked in. The leader was about forty years old, and behind him was a group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys and girls wearing the uniforms of the advanced Soul Master Academy, Canghui Academy, looking very flamboyant.
As soon as they entered, a young man, with an arrogant look, pulled the hotel owner over and said, "Boss, get us the best rooms and bring us the best food, understand?"
The restaurant owner knew they were all Soul Masters and nodded obsequiously, being extremely polite.
Tianlin understood why Shrek Academy had provoked them in the original story. Besides the school motto of 'a coward is someone who doesn't dare to cause trouble', these guys were indeed too arrogant, making people feel very uncomfortable.
"Who are these guys? Why are they so arrogant?" Tianlin only thought to himself, but Xiao Wu asked directly.
"Just a small Canghui Academy, putting on airs!" They were arrogant, but Dai Mubai was even more arrogant than them, mocking them mercilessly.
"That's right..." Ma Hongjun wanted to echo, but a hand pressed down on his hand, stopping him from continuing.
"Boss, what's this?"
Tianlin shook his head, "How arrogant they are has nothing to do with us. As long as they don't provoke us, Hongjun, don't go provoking them either."
Hearing this, Dai Mubai was somewhat disdainful, "Haha, Brother Jun, although you are strong, you are actually so timid and afraid of trouble? Haven't you heard the saying, 'a coward is someone who doesn't dare to cause trouble'!"
"Humph, that's what you Shrek people say. The motto of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is, 'We don't cause trouble, but we aren't afraid of trouble. We will not offend others unless we are offended!'" Tianlin retorted.
When he first read this scene in his previous life, he thought Shrek's style of doing things was very cool and unrestrained, but since the last Academy incident, Tianlin's thinking had changed. Relying on strength to cause trouble at will, what's the difference between that and bullying others? He didn't want to bother with Dai Mubai, but since Ma Hongjun had chosen to join the school, some bad habits had to be changed.
