Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, a Must-Clear Instance

"Lin Qi, are we heading back to Nuoding Academy now?"

After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Wu asked.

"Hm? What should you call me?"

This little rabbit was being dishonest. The moment she left the Star Dou Great Forest, she had forgotten her own status.

Xiao Wu's pretty face reddened as she said bashfully,

"Calling you Master is too embarrassing. Lin Qi, boss, please be kind and don't make me call you Master, okay?"

Xiao Wu cared about her dignity too. She simply could not bring herself to call Lin Qi Master in front of others.

"What a pity. I can't use this Spirit Bone. I was originally planning to reward it to some obedient and sensible maid, but it seems there's no need now."

Lin Qi took out the External Soul Bone obtained from the Five-Colored Star Butterfly and tossed it lightly in his hand.

"Master, you are my Master—the Master Xiao Wu would risk her life to serve faithfully."

Xiao Wu displayed an exquisite face-changing technique.

Just moments ago, she had said she could not bring herself to say "Master." Now, every "Master" rolled off her tongue with perfect ease.

To gain wings and become a Flying Rabbit, what did a little dignity matter?

"After taking something from His Highness, don't forget your status."

As he spoke, Lin Qi tossed the External Soul Bone to Xiao Wu.

"Thank you, Master. Master is the best."

Xiao Wu hurriedly caught it and lovingly wiped it clean.

Only after quite a while, when they had already ridden the Unicorn Scaled Armor Beast far away, did Xiao Wu come back to her senses.

"Master, this isn't the direction back to Nuoding Academy, is it?"

"Of course not. We're going to Sunset Forest."

For the time being, Tang San had been sheared for just about all he was worth.

Even a sheep that could grow endless wool needed time to grow it back. If it were sheared completely bald, that would not be good.

Other than triggering rewards from Tang San, Nuoding Academy had nothing worth Lin Qi's attachment.

Sunset Forest, on the other hand, was an excellent place.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well there was absolutely a must-clear instance in Douluo Continent.

"Sunset Forest? Master, you just obtained your second Soul Ring. Why are we going to a Soul Beast Forest again?"

"Watch your mouth. Is it your place, as a little maid, to question your Master's affairs?"

Behind Lin Qi, Xiao Wu pursed her lips, her teeth grinding audibly.

Xiao Wu got angry—and then that was it.

For the Spirit Bone, for flight, for the Ancient Beast God, for the future of Soul Beasts.

I'll endure it!

Nuoding Academy.

Ever since Lin Qi left, the pressure Tang San felt under Lin Qi's shadow had eased considerably, but other pressures had increased.

His earth-shattering kneel had become a legend at Nuoding Academy, and the stories only grew more outrageous with every retelling.

Tang San could already turn a deaf ear to ordinary mockery.

But some particularly excessive people kept inventing new twists on the matter.

Some said he would surely be excellent at mourning beside graves. Some said he loved acknowledging godfathers. Others said his knees were weak and he loved kneeling.

Tang San felt that even if he left Nuoding Academy, legends about him would continue to circulate there.

Tang San was in a bad mood, and Yu Xiaogang had also been uneasy these past days.

After Tang Hao appeared, he often took Tang San away for stretches of private instruction.

This gave Yu Xiaogang an intense sense of crisis.

Could Clear Sky Your Excellency be dissatisfied with me as a teacher and planning to take Little San away?

How could that be allowed? Tang San was now Yu Xiaogang's only hope.

"I have to do something. I must do something."

"I've got it!"

When Tang Hao appeared once more and prepared to personally instruct Tang San, Yu Xiaogang voiced the idea he had considered for a long time.

"Clear Sky Your Excellency, please wait."

"Speak."

Tang Hao's attitude was rather cold.

If not for Lin Qi and Master Meng, Tang Hao might have thought Yu Xiaogang was a fine teacher.

People feared comparison. Compared with Master Meng, who possessed Titled Douluo-level strength and a secret method for absorbing Soul Rings beyond the limit, Yu Xiaogang, this theory Master, was practically fit for the trash heap.

Yu Xiaogang's heart skipped a beat.

My guess was right after all. Clear Sky Your Excellency is not very satisfied with me.

"It's like this. I believe that Little San's continued stay at Nuoding Academy will not do much good for his growth."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Tang Hao thought Yu Xiaogang was preparing to have him take Tang San away.

"I have a friend named Flender. Together with another friend, we once made a name for ourselves as the Golden Iron Triangle."

"Flender founded an academy called Shrek Academy. It only recruits and trains monster students with extraordinary talent, so it is highly suited for a genius like Little San."

"Little San is still a little young, but given his talent, only Shrek Academy can provide him with the best training."

After racking his brains, Yu Xiaogang decided to bring in reinforcements.

Since he, as a teacher, could not satisfy Clear Sky Your Excellency, he would bring in Flender and the entirety of Shrek Academy.

"Shrek?"

Tang Hao was tempted.

He was indeed dissatisfied with Yu Xiaogang, but upon hearing of an academy that nurtured monsters, he felt it truly suited Little San.

"How strong is this Flender you mentioned?"

Yu Xiaogang relaxed slightly, knowing Tang Hao's attitude had softened.

"Flender's talent is far greater than mine. He is already a Soul Saint, and a Soul Saint with a flying Martial Soul."

"Besides him, Shrek Academy has powerful teachers such as Zhao Wuji and Li Yusong. It is absolutely a top-tier academy."

Tang Hao nodded slightly.

A Soul Saint's strength was nothing much to him, but it was already enough to teach Tang San at his current stage.

Tang Hao was not good at teaching others either. If he had not doubted Yu Xiaogang's teaching ability, he would not have wanted to spend the effort instructing Tang San himself.

"I agree."

Tang Hao also wanted to settle down and properly recover from his injuries, preferably improving his strength somewhat.

Lin Qi had left, and the powerhouse behind Lin Qi had left as well.

Yet Tang Hao still felt a powerful sense of danger. He would definitely encounter that person again.

When he met that powerful and shameless man again, he could not possibly still be beaten senseless without even a shred of dignity, could he?

At the very least, at the very least, he needed the ability to resist.

"You agree?"

Joy swept through Yu Xiaogang's entire body.

This decision had indeed been completely correct. Clear Sky Your Excellency had truly agreed.

"I agree. Take Little San and leave as soon as possible. He needs to grow faster."

"Alright. Tomorrow, I'll take Little San to Shrek Academy."

After several days of travel, Lin Qi and the others arrived at Sunset Forest.

"Little Qi, where is the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well you mentioned?"

The know-it-all Master Meng knew what an extraordinary treasure land the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was. It surely contained many rare spiritual herbs.

How could Lin Qi know its exact location?

He only knew that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was on a mountain within Sunset Forest.

But it did not matter. Wasn't it just a direction? Lin Qi had never worried about things that depended on luck.

"Body of Fortune, let me see your limits."

Lin Qi snapped off a branch and casually tossed it out.

"This way."

After the branch fell, Lin Qi pointed in the direction indicated by its tip.

His method left both Master Meng and Xiao Wu dumbfounded. Was it really reasonable to determine the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's location this way?

But then they remembered that Lin Qi himself was the greatest absurdity of all, and they accepted it.

When they reached the foot of a mountain concealed by a poisonous formation, that acceptance turned into: as expected of you.

"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is on this mountain."

Lin Qi nodded in satisfaction.

The Body of Fortune was truly useful. If it were anyone else, even knowing the exact direction, they probably would not have found this place so easily.
