Otherworld Experience Card, Great Wall Guards

Because of the changes to the route back, even though they were on the outskirts of the forest, it still took them a week to return to Notting Academy. When Wu Liang and the others stepped into the training grounds, Wu Liang immediately felt that the place was filled with resentment.

"What's going on? Why do I feel like this place is so lifeless, and the air is full of resentment?" Wu Liang scratched his head in confusion.

"I think I probably know the reason," Tang San said thoughtfully.

"What do you mean? You know?"

"Do you remember what we said when we first left?" Tang San asked.

"When we first left... I think we said we forgot to prepare breakfast for Xiao Wu. Holy crap, we're dead. Run!" Wu Liang finally realized, but before he could take a step, two tigresses pounced out of the wooden cabin and knocked him to the ground. Little Kanna, her eyes brimming with tears, said, "A Liang, did you forget about Kanna? You've been gone for so long!"

"Alright, alright, I surrender. I get it." Helpless, Wu Liang could only bring out his trump cards: Delicious Cookie and Mana Juice.

Little Kanna had originally been sprawled on top of Wu Liang, but the moment she saw the cookies and juice, she immediately snatched them up and began eating, completely losing the desperate look she had worn moments ago.

After dealing with Little Kanna, Wu Liang still felt a killing gaze beside him. He could only stiffly turn around, take out another serving of Delicious Cookie and Mana Juice, and hand it to Xiao Wu. "What exactly are you trying to do? Did you just stop eating because I wasn't here?"

With her mouth stuffed full of Delicious Cookie, Xiao Wu mumbled, "Who told you to leave in such a hurry? You didn't even leave us anything to eat. Hmph, I've been craving it to death for over a month! Can you imagine how tasteless our meals were?"

Bai Qi did not complain much. To him, as long as the boss was safe, that was enough.

Wu Liang walked over and handed him a Delicious Cookie set as well. Bai Qi said nothing, sat down to one side, and began eating.

After they had finished fooling around, Grandmaster walked to the empty space in front of them and clapped his hands. "Alright, everyone. There are only a few days left before this semester ends. You can go home and spend some time with your families. Since these are the last few days, I won't demand anything more of you. Use this time to buy your families some gifts or prepare something for them."

After hearing Grandmaster, everyone began discussing it again. Wu Liang did not have anything in particular to bring back. He had only gone to Sky City not long ago, after all. Little Kanna, however, was very enthusiastic and held out her hand to Wu Liang. "A Liang, give me money. I want to buy things."

Seeing Little Kanna holding out her hand for money, Wu Liang did not say anything. He directly took out one hundred Gold Soul Coins and gave them to her. Some of it had been earned by her from working before anyway.

After getting the money, Kanna happily headed toward Notting City with Xiao Wu, Yu Yan, and the others. Judging by the look of it, they were preparing to go on a shopping spree.

Wu Liang said goodbye to Grandmaster, Tang San, and the others before returning to his small wooden cabin. There was still one final monthly sign-in gift pack in his Portable Space. Because he had completed many triggered quests over the past year, his points were already nearing nine hundred.

He took out the monthly sign-in gift pack. Since he had not saved up any others, he might as well open it. Leaving it in his Portable Space would only be an eyesore.

When he opened the monthly sign-in gift pack, a dazzling light radiated from the small box. Before long, the box disappeared, leaving behind only a card the size of a bank card.

Otherworld Experience Card: A card that allows the user to randomly travel to another world and experience it for a period of time. Others cannot be brought along during the journey. After using the Experience Card, the points system, store system, sign-in system, and customization module cannot be used during the time spent in the other world. The Portable Space and costume store can be used. Since this is an Experience Card, any strength gained by the host during the experience will be calculated and converted into rewards upon returning, and cannot be retained directly. Items obtained from quests can be brought back, but items from the experience world cannot be placed into the Portable Space and brought back.

"Seria, what exactly is this Otherworld Experience Card?" After reading the card's description, Wu Liang asked Seria in his mind.

Seria: "As you can see, it is an Experience Card that lets you randomly travel to another world. After you travel there, the system will randomly assign you an identity. You can return once the experience period ends or after a certain storyline concludes."

"Seria, there's actually a question I've wanted to ask for a long time. Is Douluo Continent still the same Douluo Continent as before? Does the God Realm still exist here? And after I become a god, where will I go?" Wu Liang hesitated for a moment before voicing his question.

Seria: "Host, from the moment the system descended into this world, Douluo was no longer the Douluo of the past. The current Douluo Continent contains only the story of Douluo Continent One. In other words, there will be no Douluo Continent Two, Three, or any later storylines. This means that this world will end after Tang San, the chosen one, becomes a god. There is still a connection to the God Realm now, but once the chosen one becomes a god, the system will immediately sever that connection. As for you, if you cannot become a god before Tang San does, you will never be able to escape the restraints of this world."

"So that means I might have a chance to return to the real world after becoming a god?" Wu Liang asked excitedly.

Seria: "Perhaps. You are still too weak right now, and the system does not have much energy it can borrow, so it cannot predict the future. But one thing I can tell you with certainty is that Douluo Continent is only the beginning."

"Although I had already thought of that possibility, hearing you confirm it actually puts me at ease. If my life could only bloom in the one world of Douluo, how boring would that be? I still want to experience life in many different worlds." As Wu Liang said this, his eyes were filled with anticipation.

Seria: "Wake up, Host. You're still a weakling who hasn't even reached level twenty. Don't think too much."

"Can't I fantasize a little? Can't you be nicer to me? We're one entity, aren't we?" Wu Liang said speechlessly.

Seria stopped speaking, too lazy to pay attention to an idiot like Wu Liang.

Wu Liang looked at the Otherworld Experience Card in his hand and carefully placed it in the most conspicuous spot in his Portable Space, planning to take a spontaneous trip whenever he had the time.

He looked over his status panel. His points were nearing nine hundred, and as for servants...

Followers: Kanna, Segghardt, Great Wall Guard: Auspicious Beasts

Combat Servant: Bai Qi

The Great Wall Guards had been drawn from a sign-in gift pack several months ago. However, the moment they were drawn, the system had sent them straight to Sky City. The system classified the Great Wall Guards as the Lord's Manor's guard unit, and they could not leave the range of the lord's palace.

Great Wall Guards: Captain Hua Mulan, level 94 Titled Qilin Douluo; member Kai, level 94 Titled Azure Dragon Douluo; member Baili Xuance, level 94 Titled White Tiger Douluo; member Baili Shouyue, level 94 Titled Vermillion Bird Douluo; member Su Lie, level 94 Titled Black Tortoise Douluo

Great Wall Guards Assembly Special Effect: Once all members of the Great Wall Guards have assembled, they naturally form the Five Auspicious Guardian Formation. No one below god level can break it.

Great Wall Guards Five-Person Fusion Skill: Five Directions Extermination

Thinking of this, Wu Liang felt like crying without tears. They were strong, but he could not use them himself. They could only serve as guards for the Lord's Manor. How was he supposed to play this? He could not even bring them around to show off. Could he not have a little fun?

Putting those thoughts away, Wu Liang calmed himself and summoned Barak again, joining Bai Qi's sword technique training group. However, sharp-eyed Wu Liang noticed that Grandmaster was also practicing basic sword techniques such as thrusting and chopping with a wooden stick on the other side. It seemed that Grandmaster had become more serious about cultivation after his breakthrough.

For several days in a row, Wu Liang spent his time cultivating. He wanted to use the Otherworld Experience Card several times, but forcibly restrained himself and decided to look into it after returning home.

Today was the final day of the semester. Yu Yan had already been picked up by people from her village. Of course, Wu Liang had left her enough Delicious Cookie and Mana Juice for cultivation. A few days earlier, Grandmaster had also given her a storage pouch. Although its space was not large, it was enough for her use.

Only Wu Liang's group remained. After saying goodbye to Grandmaster, they set off on the road home together.

"A Liang, is Bai Qi really going home with you?" Tang San asked Bai Qi with a strange look in his eyes.

Before Wu Liang could explain, Bai Qi answered first. "As the underling, it is my duty to safely escort the boss home."

"There, you see? Having a little brother is great. Unlike you—Xiao Wu is even willing to go home with you to meet your parents," Wu Liang teased Tang San.

"That's not it! I just want to see what Little San's home is like. It's not meeting the parents!" Xiao Wu refuted, blushing like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Is there a difference?" Wu Liang continued teasing her as if he had not seen her embarrassment.

"Alright, alright, A Liang, stop making fun of us. We're still so young. Can't you think about something more wholesome?" In the end, Tang San came to the rescue, only able to blame Wu Liang for thinking too much.

After Wu Liang's group left, an uninvited guest arrived at Grandmaster's wooden cabin in the academy's back mountain.

Grandmaster was reading in his room. Little San and the others had gone home, and his heart felt empty. After spending a year together, although he never said it aloud, his feelings for these disciples had continued to deepen.

Even when Wu Liang and the others left that morning, he had hesitated over whether to visit Wu Liang's home. In the end, Grandmaster rejected the thought. There were many reasons, so many that even he himself could not explain them clearly.

Knock, knock, knock. At that moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Grandmaster frowned. Normally, aside from Wu Liang and the others, no one ever came here. Even if they did, they would not knock.

"Come in." Grandmaster set down the book in his hand and spoke calmly.

The door opened, and a tall figure walked in from outside. He wore a simple gray robe, with messy black hair draped over his shoulders. His aged face was etched with the marks of hardship, and his cloudy eyes made him seem like a man in his twilight years, completely at odds with his appearance of only around fifty years old.

"Hello, Grandmaster." The visitor's voice was low and slightly hoarse.
