Was Disaster About to Strike the Academy?

Dugu Bo nodded in deep agreement.

He turned his head and looked at Dugu Yan sitting by the Medicine Garden. Dugu Yan was sitting cross-legged on a rock, holding a two-colored leaf in her hand, her brows furrowed, and she was putting the leaf into her mouth.

Her face had turned mostly green, and her lips were downturned, like a child being forced to eat vegetables.

She chewed the Dragon Soul Grass twice, forced herself to swallow it, and then shivered, rubbing her arms together.

Dugu Bo watched this scene, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

He silently thought to himself: This girl's face is almost green from eating so much Dragon Soul Grass.

But that Dragon Soul Grass was indeed useful. Her Martial Soul had undergone a transformation in the past six months, evolving from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent to the Jade Phosphorous Flood Dragon.

It took him most of his life to go from Jade Phosphorous Serpent to the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, but Dugu Yan caught up in less than a year.

This is the effect of that Grade Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma and the Dragon Soul Grass scattered all over the ground.

Dugu Bo withdrew his gaze and fixed it on Ye Lin.

"Young Ye, return my Inner Core. I can't keep you here forever. The outside world is your true domain. I'll take you back later."

Ye Lin nodded.

He walked up to Dugu Bo and opened his mouth.

Dugu Bo raised his right hand, palm down, and a stream of greenish-blue Soul Power surged from his palm, probing into Ye Lin and drawing the greenish-blue bead out of Ye Lin's esophagus.

The bead had been inside Ye Lin's body for half a year, and it had been permeated by the True Dragon Bloodline within him. The greenish-blue halo on its surface now had an additional layer of dark golden patterns, making it much brighter than it had been half a year ago.

Dugu Bo put the bead back into his palm, glanced at the dark gold patterns, his brow twitched, then put the bead back into his mouth and swallowed it.

The moment he felt the bead fall into his dantian, a warm force rose from his stomach and traveled along his meridians to his limbs and bones.

He clenched his fist, feeling the True Dragon Bloodline within him grow even stronger.

This can truly be described as mutually beneficial. Ye Lin increased his cultivation speed through Dugu Bo's Inner Core, while Dugu Bo also gained an additional portion of the True Dragon Bloodline through the Inner Core within Ye Lin's body.

Win-win.

Dugu Yan stood up from the rock and brushed the grass clippings off her cheongsam.

She took two steps toward Ye Lin, then stopped.

The bitter taste of Dragon Soul Grass still lingered on her lips, but her slightly upturned eyes held a depth of something that had slowly accumulated over the past six months.

She stood there, her hands clenched and unclenched at her sides, and spoke, "Hey."

Ye Lin turned to look at her and rolled her eyes at her.

"My name isn't Hey. My name is Chu Yuxun."

Dugu Yan was taken aback.

She pondered the phrase "Chu Yuxun" in her mind, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Aren't you called Ye Lin?"

Her expression became a little more serious.

"Can I come to the Shrek Academy to find you later?"

Ye Lin glanced at Dugu Yan and smiled.

"Sure."

Dugu Yan's lips twitched slightly, but she quickly suppressed them.

She turned around and took two steps toward Dugu Bo, her steps lighter than before.

Yu Xiaogang sat by the spring and watched the whole scene from beginning to end.

He glanced at the two people, then looked away, silently repeating a phrase in his mind.

Forget it. Let the young people handle their own affairs; I can't manage that much.

Pack your things, get ready to leave.

Dugu Bo had originally planned to send the two people back, but it was no longer necessary.

Ye Lin and Yu Xiaogang stood at the entrance of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and Luo Sanpao walked out from beside Yu Xiaogang.

It lowered its head, lay prone on the ground, and folded its wings slightly, waiting for the two people to come up.

Yu Xiaogang mounted the dragon's back, and Ye Lin sat down behind him.

Yu Xiaogang turned his head and called out in Dugu Bo's direction, "Dugu Bo, we'll come back when we have time. This is a great place."

Dugu Bo stood by the spring, arms crossed, head tilted, a glint of light flashing in his vertical pupils.

He called out, "You're welcome anytime."

Luo Sanpao suddenly spread his wings, and his body, which was more than four meters tall, soared into the air. Golden light spread out in the morning light, like a lit sun rising from the valley of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

It raised its head and let out a Dragon Roar's roar, the sound carrying through the valley and towards the Shrek Academy.

Blue Tyrant Academy

It should be called Shrek Academy now; a new plaque with blue background and gold lettering has been hung on the main gate.

On the Training Ground in the front yard of the academy,

Flender is leading the students at the academy in practical training.

Liu Erlong supervised from the side.

Then everyone heard a Dragon Roar's roar.

The sound came from afar, growing closer and louder.

Flender abruptly looked up and adjusted his glasses.

Liu Erlong turned around, his gaze falling on the horizon.

Xiao Wu was the first to rush out of the Training Ground and run towards the academy gate.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing stood up, exchanged a glance, and followed.

A huge, white-gold figure swooped down from the clouds.

The young instructors and students from the academy poured out from all directions, stood by the Training Ground, and looked up at the more than four-meter-tall white-gold dragon.

Some people have already started to shrink back.

Is the academy facing utter destruction?

The Radiant Sacred Dragon Luo Sanpao folded its wings and landed on the open ground in the front yard of the academy. Its four dragon claws slammed into the stone bricks with a dull thud.

Several fine cracks appeared in the stone bricks. It folded its wings at its sides, lowered its head, and lowered the two people off its back.

Seeing that the Radiant Sacred Dragon showed no intention of attacking and remained completely calm, the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Flender squeezed through the crowd, adjusted his glasses, and looked at the two people standing on the dragon's back, a slow grin spreading across his face.

Liu Erlong rushed out from behind him, the hem of her red dress fluttering in the wind. She ran to Yu Xiaogang in a few quick steps, stopped, and looked him up and down.

Without saying a word, she pounced on him, wrapped her arms around his neck, and buried her face in his shoulder.

Yu Xiaogang's body stiffened for a moment, then he raised both hands, placed them on her back, and tightened his grip.

He whispered something in her ear, and Liu Erlong nodded, shrugged slightly, and then regained his composure.

Xiao Wu used her third Soul Skill, Teleportation, to appear in front of Ye Lin.

She was taller than she had been six months ago, and her scorpion braid was longer, hanging down to her waist. She hugged Ye Lin tightly.

"Brother Lin, you really scared me to death."

Ye Lin gently held Xiao Wu in his arms.

"It's alright, it's alright, I'm back safe and sound, aren't I?"
