A Chance Encounter with Wu Changkong

The train attendant released his Martial Soul. He was a Soul King of over level fifty, though his Soul Ring configuration was rather poor: one white, two yellow, and two purple.

"He's the Evil Soul Master. He tried to attack me just now and was struck back by my Martial Soul," Yun Mu said.

The other passengers nearby all chimed in. "That man released the Blood Demon Martial Soul first. He was about to hurt him."

"Right, and in the end, he was struck dead by lightning."

Yun Mu also released his first Martial Soul. When that emerald-colored sword appeared, the train attendant froze for a moment.

But the train attendant still said, "How dare an Evil Soul Master kill someone on the train and even forge a Martial Soul?"

Yun Mu understood at once. It was not that he knew who the Evil Soul Master was. He had simply seen that something had happened, and since the real Evil Soul Master was already dead, he needed someone to pin it on. Otherwise, it would count as negligence on his part.

Tang Wulin had been awakened by the noise in the carriage. He saw someone holding an iron sword and pointing it at his brother.

The man was glaring at his brother with murderous intent. That immediately provoked Xiao Wu Lin.

Tang Wulin pulled out the Clear Sky Hammer and knocked the iron sword aside. "You bad guy! What are you trying to do to my brother?"

The moment he saw that hammer, the train attendant understood that he absolutely could not proceed this way. That was the Clear Sky Hammer.

"Um, this little friend..." the train attendant said awkwardly.

"Forget 'this little friend.' Why don't you explain yourself first?" The Soul Rings beneath Yun Mu's feet finally appeared.

Yun Mu held his sword in one hand and Shrek Academy's emblem in the other. "Why are you still trying to arrest an innocent person when the passengers have already explained the truth?"

"Yeah, exactly."

"Is there something wrong with your train?"

The clamor grew louder and louder, drawing the attention of the train's other carriages.

The train attendant had originally intended to fly into a rage and knock Yun Mu unconscious or kill him, then report him.

But at the instant he attacked, he finally saw what Yun Mu was holding.

Shrek Academy!

His face instantly turned deathly pale. At the same time, the conductor slowly entered this compartment.

Apparently, someone had noticed that something was wrong and immediately called for the conductor.

When the conductor saw the corpse by his feet, he immediately crouched down to inspect it. "An Evil Soul Master, and a wanted criminal at that."

At the same time, his gaze swept over the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Wulin's hand and the Shrek Academy identification Yun Mu held.

His expression darkened as he looked at the train attendant, who had already collapsed into a heap.

"We will handle this matter according to Federation law. At the same time, we thank this student of Shrek Academy and the Clear Sky Sect for their assistance." The conductor bowed to Yun Mu and Tang Wulin in apology.

The train slowly entered Eastsea City.

The Soul Island Trains around Eastsea were all primarily blue in color. This city truly deserved its reputation as the second-largest coastal city centered around the sea.

Yun Mu, Tang Wulin, and the passengers from that carriage personally watched as the conductor escorted the train attendant into the Patrol Brigade.

This truly counted as a serious incident.

However, it was not something they could handle themselves, so it was reported another level up.

Only then did Yun Mu truly witness how terrifying the influence of Shrek Academy, the number one academy in the world, could be.

The Captain made a call. The voice on the other end had initially sounded somewhat slow and indifferent, but once the Captain said that the train attendant had slandered a student of Shrek Academy—

That person's attitude changed drastically. What had originally been detention nearly became a death sentence in the end.

After all, the man had dared to act this way because he had backing. Unfortunately, no matter how powerful that backing was, it could not compare to the five words Shrek Academy.

Yun Mu thought of Shrek Academy's fate. Suddenly, he understood why so many people in the Federation wanted to destroy Shrek Academy.

Shrek Academy possessed its own independent currency and system, allowing its influence to extend into every industry. At the same time, it also held influence over ordinary people's spirits.

If Shrek Academy had not been blown up with two shells, then one day, the world would know only Shrek and not the Sun Moon Federation.

For Soul Masters, unless they held a grudge against Shrek Academy, that was indeed true.

Yun Mu thought that perhaps he should remind his teacher to be careful after some time. After all, he did not want to stand by and watch his teacher die.

Yun Ming had indeed been extremely conscientious toward him. To put him at ease, he had even helped take care of his parents.

Unlike some Xiao Gang from twenty thousand years ago, who had done nothing yet could boldly claim that he had cultivated a god.

By the time Yun Mu left the affairs hall, the sky had gradually darkened.

"Ah, Brother, it's a good thing we came early, or we would've been late. How about we stay at a hotel outside for the night first?" Tang Wulin saw that it was already dark and figured registration had likely ended for the day.

"Sure. Let's find one near the academy, so we can report early tomorrow morning." Yun Mu smiled.

The two arrived at a hotel beside the academy. They took out their identification and said they were students here to report, hoping to stay for one night.

The lobby manager had wanted to refuse since they were both children, but after hearing that they were Soul Masters, he decided to let them stay.

After Yun Mu got their room keycards, he prepared to go out for a walk. Mainly because Tang Wulin kept clamoring to go out and buy something to eat.

Yun Mu and Tang Wulin hurriedly changed clothes and headed to the snack street.

"Brother, how about Yu Hao Grilled Fish? I heard Yu Hao Grilled Fish is really delicious." Tang Wulin said with a grin.

Yun Mu looked toward the shop with the Yu Hao Grilled Fish sign hanging outside. The interior was clean, and the aroma was rich, but the seats were rather full.

Suddenly, he caught sight of a figure: white clothes, blue hair, and handsome features.

Was that Wu Changkong?

"Alright, let's go." Yun Mu nodded.

The moment Tang Wulin heard the word "alright," he quickly headed toward Yu Hao Grilled Fish, but he was still a step too late. There were no seats left.

After thinking for a moment, Yun Mu walked over to Wu Changkong's table and said, "Hello, sir. Could we share a table with you?"

Wu Changkong raised his head and glanced at the two of them. "Eastsea Academy?"

"W-we report tomorrow." Yun Mu suddenly felt inexplicably nervous.

Perhaps it was because he had run into his homeroom teacher. Or perhaps because he had met an idol.

Wu Changkong nodded. "Sit."

"Boss, Boss, I want ten grilled fish!" Tang Wulin shouted while standing in line.

"That is your..." Wu Changkong looked at the somewhat boisterous Tang Wulin.

"My younger brother." Yun Mu smiled. "Are you a teacher at Eastsea Academy?"

"Mm." After swallowing the food in his mouth, Wu Changkong slowly replied.
