Chapter 35 Refusal to Join Shrek Academy
Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The graduation ceremony of Notting Junior Soul Master Academy has just ended, and the campus is filled with a sense of farewell and sadness.
Many students are busy packing their bags in their dormitories, preparing to embark on their journey home or begin the next stage of their cultivation journey.
Dormitory 7, where work-study students live, is no exception.
A group of teenagers who once cultivated, lived, and studied together are packing their clothes and books into their backpacks one by one, and the air is filled with the scent of parting.
Just then, Tang San approached Tang Chuan and spoke with a slightly solemn expression:
"Brother, are you really not coming to Shrek Academy with me?"
"My teacher told me that Shrek Academy is an incredibly powerful place, known as a monster concentration camp. It's said that the teaching resources here are extremely abundant, with more than two Soul Saints and several Soul Emperors serving as teachers. Moreover, the most outstanding student among them has now become the youngest elder in the Spirit Hall."
At this moment, Tang Chuan was sitting quietly on the bed with his eyes closed in meditation.
His breathing was steady and deep, as if he had sunk into a tranquil state as calm as the sea. He only slowly opened his eyes after Tang San's voice fell.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a blue-gold light shone in her eyes.
After a moment of silence, Tang Chuan shook his head and said in a calm yet firm tone:
"I'm not going."
Upon hearing this, Tang San was taken aback, seemingly not expecting his brother to refuse so decisively. Just as he was about to try to persuade him further, Tang Chuan spoke calmly, stating his reasons word by word:
"I've already inquired about this college."
"They've only been established for about twenty years. How much real substance can a newly established academy accumulate? On the surface, it's called a concentration camp of monsters, but its reputation is mostly built on creating a sense of mystery."
At this point, Tang Chuan paused, a mocking smile appearing on his lips, and continued:
"I heard that their admission standard is under thirteen years old, and the elders of the Spirit Hall are at least Title Douluo. But on the Douluo Continent, I don't seem to have heard of any Title Douluo around thirty years old, right?"
"Either this is a deliberate publicity stunt by the Spirit Hall to win over Shrek Academy, or it's false information released by Shrek Academy to recruit students."
Currently, the youngest Title Douluo on the mainland is Tang Hao. Because Bibi Dong has been hiding her strength, the outside world does not know when she broke through to the Title Douluo level.
Upon hearing this, Tang San pondered for a moment, the image of the master's confident words flashing through his mind. Although Tang Chuan's words made sense, he ultimately chose to believe the master, saying:
"Perhaps... perhaps the titled Douluo senior from Shrek Academy is too unknown, which is why we haven't heard of him? Teacher wouldn't lie to me, would he? After all, he knows a lot about the world of Soul Masters."
Tang Chuan gently shook his head, his expression slightly helpless, and said:
"Go if you want to, I'm not saying you can't. But remember, no matter how good the path someone else points out is, it's still their path. You can't let others plan your life for you."
"As for me, I already have a place to go."
"I'm not going to Shrek Academy with you."
Tang San was taken aback, looking at Tang Chuan with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Brother, where are you going?"
"Heavenly Dou City!"
Tang Chuan gazed calmly out the window and uttered those three words softly.
Just then, a girl's voice, tinged with displeasure, broke in.
"Tch, Third Brother, if he doesn't want to go, he doesn't want to go. We'll go!"
Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips, her big eyes showing a hint of displeasure, then walked over lightly and unceremoniously took Tang San's arm.
Tang San was startled, his face flushed red, and he wanted to break free but didn't know how. He lowered his head awkwardly and said, "Then, okay... let's go to Shrek Academy."
In his previous life in the Tang Sect, Tang San was a homebody who spent his days researching hidden weapons and how to kill people. He had little contact with women. Now that he and Xiao Wu had reached puberty, it was inevitable that he would feel a flutter in his heart when he suddenly had physical contact with Xiao Wu.
"Brother, take care on your journey."
"After you register, remember to come visit me at Shrek Academy in Soto City when you have time."
Xiao Wu seemed completely unconcerned about Tang Chuan's choice. With a smirk and an expression that said, "I don't care where you go," she immediately pulled Tang San around to continue packing their luggage.
After spending these past few years together, Tang San felt that his older brother was a very capable person who could definitely take good care of him.
So he didn't say anything more.
After all, everyone has their own choices, just like his belief in the master.
.........
A few hours later, as the sun set, the dormitory area of Notting College gradually became quiet.
Inside Dormitory 7, the beds were neatly made and the bedding was folded up. Apart from a few pieces of furniture, the room was empty.
Tang Chuan stood alone in the room, quietly looking around.
This place holds his memories of the past few years: observing from the sidelines, secretly honing his skills, and concealing his talents... Now it's finally time for him to leave.
Tang Chuan began packing his luggage at a leisurely pace, keeping everything very simple.
He had very few belongings. Apart from a few well-worn notebooks, a spare cloak, and the book "The Book of Living Beings" that Qian Renxue had given him, he had nothing else.
After getting ready, he didn't go through the main gate of the academy, but instead took a side path, passed through the quiet streets and alleys of Nottingham, and headed straight out of the city.
As the last rays of sunlight fell, a slender and upright figure walked across the wilderness, his silhouette stretched extremely long.
Soon after, Tang Chuan arrived at a secluded meadow outside the city.
This place is far from human habitation, and few people come here.
Looking around, the surroundings were covered with blue silver grass, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Only the central plant, with its thicker stem, darker color, and faint blue-gold glow, stood out from its surroundings.
Tang Chuan glanced at the Blue Silver Grass, and his expression gradually softened.
He slowly walked over and stopped in front of the blue-gold Blue Silver Grass. He then squatted down and gently stroked the shimmering leaves with his fingertips.
"Mother, we're leaving here now."
In his previous life, Tang Chuan was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage and never met his parents. In this life, although he has a father, he is indifferent to him, which makes him feel almost nothing for Tang Hao and even somewhat disgusted by him.
As for the mother in front of him, he still had some feelings for her. Although they had never actually met, after spending these past few years together, he could clearly feel that Ah Yin was different from Tang Hao.
As he spoke, Tang Chuan took out a finely crafted small shovel from his pocket.
His movements were exceptionally gentle as he carefully dug out the blue-gold Blue Silver Grass, roots and all, one by one, as if afraid of accidentally damaging its roots.
After Ah Yin was completely removed, Tang Chuan carefully transplanted her into the flowerpot that had been prepared beforehand.
The flowerpot was filled with his specially prepared nutrient soil, layer upon layer protecting the roots, and the top was sprinkled with fine plant leaf fragments, faintly exuding a life-giving aura.
I'm asking for monthly votes and recommendation votes.
