Chapter 40

Lin Hao had long since worked out a plan to revive Ah Yin.

As he had said before, with enough vitality, Ah Yin could return to full health as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in a single night.

After pretending to think it over for a while, Lin Hao presented his plan.

"Auntie Ah Yin, the situation is still the same as when Little San asked before. With enough vitality, you can quickly recover your human form as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast."

Hearing Lin Hao's answer, Tang San asked eagerly.

"Then, Brother Hao, how can we get enough vitality?"

Lin Hao said, "That's simple too. That's exactly what I've planned for your Blue Silver Emperor martial soul's fifth soul skill."

"Your current four soul skills give you close-combat ability, control, and an explosion skill that can deal concentrated damage."

"So for your fifth soul skill, I suggest you get one that can enhance both you and your teammates."

"Your Blue Silver Emperor martial soul happens to have the life attribute, and the best way to enhance your teammates is to supply them with vitality.

"So for your fifth soul skill, I suggest hunting a plant-type life-attribute soul beast that can produce fruit."

"That way, your fifth soul skill will enhance both you and your teammates, while the vitality it condenses will also help Auntie Ah Yin recover."

"Little San, once your cultivation rises, your fifth soul skill will become much more effective at condensing vitality. I reckon Auntie Ah Yin will be fully revived in a dozen years or so at most."

"So, Little San, work hard to improve your cultivation and bring Auntie Ah Yin back as soon as possible."

After hearing Lin Hao's suggestion, both Tang Hao and Tang San trembled all over with excitement.

"Brother Hao! Thank you!"

Lin Hao waved a hand.

"Aw, it's nothing. There's no need for that between us!"

"If you want to thank me, Uncle Hao, just don't turn me down when my soul power is high enough and I need to hunt a hundred-thousand-year soul beast."

Tang Hao nodded firmly.

"Of course!"

At the mention of hunting a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, Xiao Wu, whose hand Lin Hao was holding, shuddered. She thought of Da Ming and Er Ming, far away in the Star Dou Great Forest. Would they one day become Lin Hao's...

As Xiao Wu sank into a whirl of wild thoughts.

Sensing something was wrong with Xiao Wu, Lin Hao gave her hand a gentle tug.

"Hey! What are you thinking about?"

"Xiao Wu, you don't think I'll go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring once my soul power is high enough, do you?"

Xiao Wu hurriedly shook her head.

"No, no!"

"There aren't nearly as many hundred-thousand-year soul beasts on the continent as there are in the sea. You know, the sea covers dozens of times the area of the continent."

"Besides, I already know about your relationship with the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. I'm your boyfriend. Do you really think I'd set my sights on them?"

"You actually don't trust me!"

The more Lin Hao spoke, the angrier he became.

Xiao Wu smiled sweetly at Lin Hao, clasping his hand in both of hers and swinging it back and forth.

"Hehe, Brother, you're the best."

"Hmph! Just you wait until tonight."

Once he finished hashing things out with Xiao Wu, Lin Hao turned and discovered that Tang Hao had already left. Tang San was heading toward the dormitories too, clearly not planning to stay and have their lovey-dovey display shoved down his throat.

Seeing this, Lin Hao hurried after him with Xiao Wu in tow.

After Tang San finished tidying up his little courtyard, Lin Hao and Xiao Wu took him around the Blue Tyrant Academy, introducing the place along the way.

During their walk, Lin Hao told him about Ning Rongrong, the daughter of Ning Fengzhi, sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Oh, right, Little San. I found you a girlfriend."

"What did you say?"

Looking at Tang San's astonished expression, Lin Hao continued.

"Come to think of it, this girl shares a bit of fate with you. Her name is Ning Rongrong, and she's the daughter of Ning Fengzhi, sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Before you arrived, I took the immortal herb Aromatic Silk Beauty to trade with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. After some friendly dealings, Sect Master Ning took a liking to me and wanted me to become his son-in-law."

"But I already have Xiao Wu, so he asked whether I knew any young men as talented as I am. I recommended you.

"Ning Rongrong is at the Blue Tyrant Academy now. She arrived ten days before you. Her martial soul was originally the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but after she ate the Aromatic Silk Beauty, it evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"Little San, Ning Rongrong's talent for support makes her a pretty good match for you. Why not spend some time with her?"

Tang San was also very interested in romance. After all, Lin Hao and Xiao Wu flaunted their affection in front of him all day long.

Back at Shrek Academy, he had neither the opportunity nor anyone to try it with. Now, naturally, Tang San wanted to taste what being in love was like too.

"All right!"

Hearing Tang San agree, Lin Hao smiled and said.

"Great! It's past nine now. After the six of us arrived, the Blue Tyrant Academy recruited someone at our request who has a gravity crush soul skill similar to Teacher Zhao's."

"So now we have gravity crush training again. It starts at ten and ends at twelve, two hours, just like back at Shrek Academy."

"It's almost time now. Gravity crush training takes place on the Playground, so let's head over there. The others will be there soon, and Ning Rongrong will come too. I'll introduce you then."

Just as the three of them reached the Playground, Ning Rongrong arrived as well.

"Rongrong!"

Ning Rongrong turned her head and saw Lin Hao, Xiao Wu, and a boy she did not recognize walking toward her.

The three of them came up beside Ning Rongrong.

"Rongrong, let me introduce you. This is Tang San, my good brother. We're from the same village and grew up together."

"He has innate full soul power, and his martial soul is the Blue Silver Emperor, a top-tier plant-type martial soul."

"He's a four-ring Soul Ancestor now!"

"What do you think? Handsome, right?"

Ning Rongrong looked at Tang San's ice-blue hair, his ice-blue eyes, his high, straight nose, and his clear gaze, all complemented by a handsome face.

The sight made Ning Rongrong blush furiously.

"Good! As long as you're happy. You heard what we said when I was trading with Uncle Ning at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. You two can spend some time together."

With that, Lin Hao pulled Xiao Wu away, leaving the two of them some time alone.

Before leaving, Lin Hao heard Tang San introduce himself.

"Hello, fellow student Ning. My name is Tang San..."

Time passed quickly, and ten o'clock arrived. Upon seeing Tang San, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun ran over excitedly.

"Little San, long time no see!"

"Everyone! Long time no see!"

After they exchanged greetings, Teacher Tai Nuo arrived as well, and everyone began the day's gravity suppression training.

After a day of training, on the second day after Tang San's return.

Dean Liu Erlong came back. Not only had she returned, but she had also brought all of Shrek Academy's teachers with her.

Even the Blue Tyrant Academy's name was going to be changed to Shrek Academy.

It could only be described as strikingly similar to the original story.

Still, Lin Hao was not surprised. After all, in the original story, once Liu Erlong learned what the Shrek Seven Devils had suffered at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

She had immediately declared that she would rename the Blue Tyrant Academy as Shrek Academy.
