Longing for Bo Saixi

The surrounding trees had suffered terribly. Nearly every one had been destroyed by terrifying Soul Power, and not a single intact tree could be found.

"Your Excellency, what happened?"

Lin Xiao said flatly, "Nothing. I just ran into some trash. It's settled now. Send someone to clean this place up."

Zhao Wuji wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Such explosive power... How is that possible?"

Flender bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Excellency."

Lin Xiao glanced at the two of them, then leaped lightly and vanished into the forest.

Watching Lin Xiao disappear into the distance, Flender and Zhao Wuji exchanged looks, both stunned speechless.

Only then did they finally realize that Lin Xiao was definitely a Titled Douluo.

An eighteen-year-old Titled Douluo—neither of them had ever heard of such a thing.

"Boss, judging from that aura just now, I'm certain that His Excellency Lin Xiao fought a Titled Douluo. Looking at the surrounding environment... although..."

Before Zhao Wuji could finish, Flender waved his hand. "Don't jump to conclusions. His Excellency Lin Xiao is not someone we can compare ourselves to. Send someone to clean this place up."

"Mm." Zhao Wuji nodded. "All right, I'll send someone over right away."

After Zhao Wuji left, Flender adjusted his glasses and sighed as he looked over the devastation around him.

As he activated his soul skill, Flender's pupils turned golden, and he carefully examined the surroundings.

"So that's how it is. Heh." Flender chuckled before turning and vanishing into the depths of the forest.

Inside a room at Shrek Academy.

Lin Xiao clenched his fists and stared coldly at the fragment before him.

It was a fragment of Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer. After Tang Hao fled, his Clear Sky Hammer had also been shattered. This time, Tang Hao had likely been seriously injured and would need several years to recover.

He would not appear again anytime soon.

The next day.

Early morning.

Lin Xiao opened his eyes from cultivation and looked at the red phantoms floating around him. With a tremor of his body, all the red light slowly merged back into him.

Today, the Shrek Academy students were heading to nearby Suotuo City for an assessment. Under Dean Flender's lead, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others had gone together.

Gu Yuena had not wanted to go at first, but after Xiao Wu and the others urged her on, she had ultimately chosen to take part in the assessment.

Flender had also arranged physical training for Oscar and Ning Rongrong, and they were currently running nearby.

After freshening up, Lin Xiao walked out of his room. Feeling the warm sunlight, he could not help stretching lazily.

The other Shrek teachers nodded to Lin Xiao. They did not know his identity; they only knew that he was a teacher of equal standing with them.

"Morning, everyone."

"Morning."

The elderly man who had received Lin Xiao a few days ago was especially respectful. He was Li Yusong, a level sixty-six assault-type battle Spirit Emperor, whose martial soul was the Dragon-Patterned Staff.

Lin Xiao looked at Li Yusong. "Where did Zhao Wuji and the others go?"

"Reporting to Your Excellency, Teacher Zhao went to the back mountain, while Dean Flender led the children to nearby Suotuo City for Soul Master training."

"You mean the Suo Tuo Grand Soul Arena."

Li Yusong nodded. "That's right. This is the key to our Shrek Academy's training for the children. Our Shrek Academy only accepts monsters."

Lin Xiao nodded slightly. After bidding Li Yusong farewell, he began strolling around the area.

He had never properly explored Shrek Academy before, but it was pitifully small. In less than half an hour, he had seen every building.

As expected of the poorest intermediate Soul Master Academy on the continent. Its reputation was well deserved.

Lin Xiao almost could not resist tearing down all these buildings and rebuilding them from scratch.

"Master."

Lin Xiao stopped. "What is it?"

"Just now, this subordinate sensed a strand of spiritual power scanning Shrek Academy, as well as you, Master."

Li Bai flew out from the martial soul seed and knelt on one knee.

Lin Xiao frowned. Who was bold enough to spy on him?

"Could you sense that person's aura?"

"That person's spiritual power only lingered for an instant. This subordinate was unable to detect it."

Lin Xiao said blandly, "Then I understand. Withdraw. It would not be good if others saw you."

Since that person wanted to play mysterious, there was no need for him to expose them. The game was becoming more and more interesting.

Walking along the dirt path, Lin Xiao felt as though he had returned home. He had no idea who had sent him across worlds. Weren't games fun enough already?

Now he did not even have a phone. It was practically driving a shut-in like him insane.

Lin Xiao arrived at an open patch of ground covered in all kinds of flowers and grass. Their vibrant colors were beautiful and captivating.

As the breeze stirred, the sunlight in the sky gradually dimmed.

Lin Xiao lay down on the grass, looking at the cloud-covered sky. He could not help recalling the time he had spent with Bo Saixi on Sea God Island.

Time passed just like that. It was not until nightfall that Lin Xiao woke from his sleep. A light rain had begun to fall from the sky, and drops of rain slid off the blades of grass after landing on them.

When they fell near Lin Xiao's body, they transformed into wisps of white mist.

"It's already been several months since I came to the continent. Time really flies."

"Does Master want to go back?" Wang Zhaojun asked softly as she came up behind him with an umbrella.

"Maybe. I just miss her a little."

After all, Bo Saixi was his first woman. It was impossible not to miss her.

"Then shall we go back?"

Lin Xiao shook his head. "No. After leaving Sea God Island, I learned that Bo Saixi would soon inherit the Sea God's divine position. She is probably in seclusion for some time. Going there would only disrupt her state of mind."

"All right, enough of that. I'll go see how Na'er is doing."

Wang Zhaojun smiled slightly and returned to Lin Xiao's body.

After returning to Shrek Academy, the students had not yet come back. It was not until after ten that night that Tang San and the others returned one after another.

The moment Na'er saw Lin Xiao, she threw herself into his arms.

"Big brother~"

Lin Xiao gently stroked Gu Yuena's beautiful hair. "How was it? Are you tired?"

"It was all right. I'm not tired. It was easy."

Flender came to Lin Xiao's side. "Na'er's strength is incredibly formidable. Whether in one-on-one or two-on-two battles, no one was her match. I have never seen anything like it in my life."

Lin Xiao nodded in satisfaction. As expected of Gu Yuena. She truly was terrifying.

At that moment, something was also happening outside Shrek Academy's gates with Ning Rongrong and the others.

Lin Xiao looked over and saw Dai Mubai grabbing Ning Rongrong by the collar as he shouted angrily.

"Ning Rongrong, don't think I'm afraid of you. Others may fear your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but I don't. If you dare act arrogant around me again, don't blame me for getting rough. I, Dai Mubai, am not someone to be trifled with."

"Hehehe." Ning Rongrong was not intimidated in the slightest. She raised her head high, her eyes full of mockery.
