Eternal Victory Strategy

Ignoring Zhao Wuji's resentful little eyes, Flender gave a light cough and smiled. "Lu Yuan, what does a Little Monster like you want with me? Don't tell me you've caused some kind of trouble again?"

Lu Yuan hurriedly waved his hands.

"Of course not."

"I just heard from Hong Jun that Tang San and the Grandmaster have already left. So I came to ask you, Dean, whether that's true."

He casually pulled out a chair and sat down, then peeled a peanut and tossed it into his mouth as if he were perfectly at home. Lu Yuan showed absolutely no restraint.

Zhao Wuji held back his frustration and pulled over a chair to sit beside Lu Yuan.

At the same time, he became even more determined to have a proper "spar" with Flender after they returned.

Eating his food, drinking his drinks, then pretending to be drunk.

Crunch~

The sound of the peanut being bitten apart jolted Flender out of his slight daze.

A trace of helpless amusement flashed across Flender's face.

He had apparently not expected Lu Yuan's information to be so up-to-date, nor had he expected his own disciple to have such a loose tongue.

Still, Flender answered Lu Yuan's question directly.

"It's true."

"The Withdrawal Application has already been written."

"I could only approve it."

"Early this morning, the Grandmaster and his disciple already set off."

Spreading his hands weakly, Flender sighed, a hint of gloom passing through his eyes.

Nothing hurt more than betrayal by an old friend.

If there was, it could only be betrayal by so-called "immediate family," who existed only in theory!

Lu Yuan was also stunned by the efficiency.

They withdrew directly, then left immediately after withdrawing.

That was fast enough.

But there was a flaw in that chain of logic!

"Then, Dean, do you know where they went?"

Flender's heart gave a painful jolt.

After pondering for a moment, he finally spoke the name he was unwilling to mention. "Blue Tyrant Academy."

Blue Tyrant Academy?

Lu Yuan instantly recalled that rather obscure Soul Master Academy.

If that academy had another name, it would surely be far more famous.

The reorganized Shrek Academy!

Its current Dean was Liu Erlong. She was Yu Xiaogang's cousin—and also Yu Xiaogang's pursuer.

If Yu Xiaogang brought Tang San into Blue Tyrant Academy, he would encounter virtually no resistance.

This definitely had not been Tang San's doing.

Because Tang San did not have such extensive connections!

In almost an instant, Lu Yuan guessed who had orchestrated it.

Yu Xiaogang!

Silently repeating the name several times in his heart, Lu Yuan lowered his eyes. At some point, a dark shadow had settled beneath his pupils.

Lightly brushing away the crumbs that had accidentally gotten onto his hands, Lu Yuan chuckled and regained his usual calm.

When soldiers came, he would block them; when water came, he would dam it. It was not as though he had never fought from a disadvantage before.

"Thank you, Dean."

"And also..."

"Could you approve a long leave for me? I'm planning to go out and train for a while."

Scratching his head awkwardly, Lu Yuan spoke with some embarrassment.

This request really was a little excessive.

He had joined the academy for barely over half a month, yet he was already planning to go out training.

So the academy's rules were just decorations?

Flender was also startled by this Little Monster's lion-like demand, but after thinking it over, he did not immediately reject it. Instead, he asked:

"How long are you planning to train for?"

Lu Yuan counted on his fingers for a moment, then raised his head and answered:

"No more than a year."

"A year, huh." Flender shelled a peanut and tossed it into his mouth, smacking his lips to himself before suddenly saying, "I agree."

"Thank you, Dean!"

Lu Yuan shot to his feet and sincerely grabbed Flender's hand, giving it a firm shake.

Flender was startled by Lu Yuan's gesture, but quickly recovered and said with a smile:

"When you enrolled, I promised you that as long as it didn't involve matters of principle, I'd be lenient with you."

How could one recruit a great monster without paying some price?

Shrek Academy was not as wealthy as those Advanced Soul Master Academies, so naturally, it had to show greater sincerity to keep this great monster.

Still, Flender believed that what he gave and what he gained would be proportional.

Because—

Watching the young great monster's briskly departing back, Flender adjusted his glasses, his eyes gleaming. "I've never misjudged a person!"

"He's gone. Now it's time to settle some old scores."

Zhao Wuji sneered, clenching his fists with ill intent.

Flender shot him a disdainful look.

"You say that as if you could beat me."

"..."

Zhao Wuji fell silent, clearly unable to find anything to refute him with.

Flender walked over to Zhao Wuji and smiled as he patted him on the shoulder.

"Alright, Old Zhao, don't be so upset. Think about it—the hotel suite was paid for with my money."

Zhao Wuji looked at this miserly iron rooster with contempt.

Did he really think Zhao Wuji didn't know what this profiteer was plotting?

It was obviously to let that great monster feel Shrek Academy's sincerity. That was why, after the Little Monsters finished their spirit battles, he had immediately arranged a group meal and booked hotel suites.

Otherwise, with this iron rooster's usual ways, he would never voluntarily spend money to treat anyone!

Lu Yuan knew nothing about what happened afterward.

Because he was busy preparing and packing his things.

Of course, there was one additional task as well.

"Little rabbit, come here."

Lu Yuan beckoned Xiao Wu over, smiling like he was up to no good.

Xiao Wu's heart skipped a beat, but she did not dare disobey Lu Yuan's order. She could only pull a miserable face and slowly shuffle over.

For what was only one step of distance, she wished she could stretch it into eight.

A slender, fair hand suddenly grabbed Xiao Wu. Ning Rongrong raised an eyebrow at Lu Yuan and said imperiously:

"She's been borrowed by this Miss for the day. Whatever it is, talk about it tomorrow!"

"Unfortunately, this matter has to be resolved today."

Lu Yuan shrugged and said with a smile, "I'm leaving tomorrow."

Leaving?

"Where are you going?"

The words slipped out of Ning Rongrong's mouth as if she had not thought about them at all.

"To train."

With one step, Lu Yuan was already at Xiao Wu's side. Without the slightest tenderness, he slapped Ning Rongrong's little hand away and pulled Xiao Wu over.

Xiao Wu's face turned deathly pale as she went limp in Lu Yuan's arms.

Before setting out to train, he naturally had to collect some unused resources to avoid wasting them, didn't he?

Xiao Wu tried hard to comfort herself, but her heart simply would not calm down.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back first."

Lu Yuan offered the polite remark, too lazy to bother with Miss Ning, who ruined his good plans every time. Dragging Xiao Wu back to his room, he mercilessly tossed her onto the bed.

Staring blankly at the ceiling, Xiao Wu lay quietly on the large bed and asked:

"Taking the ring or taking the bone?"

"Either way, it'll hurt."

It was not an answer to her question.

Yet Xiao Wu seemed to understand what Lu Yuan meant.

Her lips bitten white, Xiao Wu used the last bit of courage in her heart to suppress the urge to cry.

The demon drew closer.

Closer still.

The demon pressed against her.

A hand pressed against her as well.

The pain would come next.

Xiao Wu joked bitterly to herself.

But no pain came. Instead, an unbearable scorching heat rose from her abdomen.

The heat grew fiercer and fiercer.

Her two soft, pale hands clutched the bedsheets tightly. Xiao Wu instinctively parted her lips, struggling to breathe in the cold air.

In her daze, she even seemed to hear a sharp sizzle of burning.

Pain overwhelmed reason.

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes back and was forced unconscious by her body's self-preservation mechanism.

Lu Yuan withdrew his hand thoughtfully.

After Soul Beasts took human form, their physical constitutions truly were stronger than those of Soul Masters at the same rank.

Although they certainly suffered more in the process, the benefits they gained were likely far greater as well.

Leaving everything else aside, after being tempered by Spatial Power, her skin's resistance to elemental forces would definitely increase substantially.

She might even develop an affinity for space.

It was possible that she would naturally gain one or several Storage Spaces.

In short, she definitely would not suffer for nothing.
