Tang Wulin smiled and said, “Hey you... are you surprised?”

Yue Zhengyu had already walked forward in quick strides to size Lan Muzi up and down at close range. He was afraid that he had mistaken him for someone else.

“You’re really not dead yet? Are you certain that you’re not a ghost?” said Yue Zhengyu gaping and speechless.

Lan Muzi was at a loss as to whether he should laugh or cry. He said, “Do you really want me to be a ghost so badly? I’m still alive and well. Don’t worry, alright?”

Tang Wulin could not watch anymore. He apologized to Lan Muzi before he pulled Yue Zhengyu along as they entered the room.

Inside, Long Yeyue and Wu Zhangkong were discussing the list of the first batch of students about to head to the Demon Island. Wu Zhangkong took the lead to stand up as he watched Tang Wulin enter the room, followed by Long Yeyue soon after. They bowed slightly and called out to Tang Wulin in unison, “Pavilion Master.”

Yue Zhengyu had not paid too much attention when Lan Muzi addressed Tang Wulin as ‘Pavilion Master’ earlier. Now, however, he was completely stunned when he saw with his own eyes that Wu Zhangkong and Long Yeyue addressed Tang Wulin as such.

“Elder Long, Teacher Wu!” Yue Zhengyu was even more overwhelmed than Tang Wulin when he first met Wu Zhangkong. Even though he could tell what was coming when he met Lan Muzi earlier, he found that he could not control his emotions when he actually met Wu Zhangkong face-to-face.

He had not followed Wu Zhangkong as a student like Tang Wulin, Xie Xie and the rest had done, but it had been quite a few years since he studied under Wu Zhangkong. How could he control his emotions when he was reunited with Teacher Wu, a man he thought long since dead?

Tears poured down almost instantaneously. He dashed his way to the front of Wu Zhangkong in one big stride and hugged him as he bawled aloud.

Wu Zhangkong’s usually icy cold face cracked into a smile once again. It was a reunion after a catastrophe. Even though he had Tang Wulin as precedent, he had just met Yue Zhengyu after so long! His lips were smiling, but his eyes had already reddened. He was smiling with tears in his eyes.

You don’t know what you have until it’s gone.

Long Yeyue nodded at Tang Wulin then she looked at Yue Zhengyu with a satisfied expression on her face.

She was the Light Dark Douluo. Judging by her cultivation base, even the Atlas Douluo Yun Ming may not necessarily have been a worthy opponent for her. She had also mastered the control over the power of light, so she could naturally sense the almost tangible light element fluctuation emitting from Yue Zhengyu’s body. It felt as if his entire person was formed from the light element. A person with the Holy Angel martial soul could become a Soul Sage upon attaining seven rings. The further he elevated, the greater the change to his abilities.

This was also the reason why Yue Zhengyu was so full of confidence. He had not only broken through to Soul Sage, but he had also completed the Holy Angel Clan’s harrowing second Holy Baptism. This was very rarely seen in the history of the Holy Angel Clan, so how could he not feel excited?

After a very long while and with great effort, Yue Zhengyu could finally control his emotions. When he raised his head to look toward Tang Wulin once again, his expression had already changed.

He spoke ferociously, “You knew this from before. Why didn’t you tell me?”

Tang Wulin shrugged. “If I were to tell you earlier, would I still get to see you cry?”

Yue Zhengyu looked at him then looked at Wu Zhangkong once again. He soon found that he could not keep himself from smiling through the tears. “If crying could resurrect Teacher Wu, I’m willing to cry even a hundred times.”

Even Tang Wulin’s eyes reddened slightly upon listening to these words. Yes! If he could bring Teacher Wu back to life just by crying, he was willing to cry a hundred times too.

Tang Wulin explained to Yue Zhengyu what the current situation was at the academy. When Yue Zhengyu learned that Wu Siduo, his other classmates and many of the inner court senior disciples were still alive, he was so excited that he simply could not contain himself.

“Oh right, Teacher Wu and Elder Long. Yue Zhengyu told me that he wished to...” Tang Wulin was halfway through his sentence when Yue Zhengyu realized what he was about to say. He scurried over to his side and covered his mouth.

“No, don’t say it! Big brother, if you utter another word about that, I shall renounce our friendship!” said Yue Zhengyu ferociously.

Tang Wulin did not tell them about Yue Zhengyu’s wish to become Vice-Pavilion Master, but he could not help chuckling. “Coincidentally, I lack a sparring partner these days. You’re back now and I can tell that you’re very keen on continuing your elevation. Why don’t we spar and also use it as an opportunity for Elder Long to guide us?”

Yue Zhengyu looked at Tang Wulin anxiously and spoke, “I thought we agreed to spar two-against-one when Xiaoyan is back?” Even though he was feeling very confident, he had also witnessed with his own eyes when Tang Wulin became the champion of the Federal Star Dou Battle Network Challenge. He was not confident enough to the extent of assuming he could defeat Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin turned toward Long Yeyue and said, “Yue Zhengyu had a request earlier...”

He found his mouth covered once again. Furious, Yue Zhengyu spoke through clenched teeth, “Alright! A spar it is then. I’ll agree to that!”

Long Yeyue nodded and said, “That’s fine.”

She had already learned from Wu Zhangkong about how Tang Wulin defeated his former teacher earlier on the premise that both of them would not use their battle armor. Thus, she spoke, “Zhengyu is allowed to use his two-word battle armor, but Wulin isn’t allowed to use his own armor.”

Yue Zhengyu did not seem to be pleased by her words. He explained with a bitter expression, “Elder Long, my two-word battle armor has just been forged into the prototype of my three-word battle armor. I have been cultivating since then and have yet to find the time to make it into three-word armor. I can’t use it at the moment.”

Before the group of seven parted ways, Tang Wulin helped them to complete the foundation forging of their three-word battle armor. However, since then, everyone had been busy cultivating. The making of three-word battle armor was no easy task, so they would not attempt to complete it before they were certain of success. Now that Tang Wulin’s soul-forging skill had already elevated, he had informed them individual via soul communicator that they should not rush into making three-word battle armor. He would help them to improve their forged metals before they continued the process. As a result, the main mission for the Shrek Seven Monsters upon their return this time was to complete the forging and making of their three-word battle armors. They were all already at a seven-ringed cultivation base which was enough to withstand three-word armor. After that, all of them would have an incredibly vast increase in their own abilities.

Long Yeyue spoke, “I hope that you are pleased with depending on yourself then.”

The Tang Sect’s underground gymnasium was of a much higher standard compared to the shelter. The massive gymnasium was over five hundred meters in diameter which was even enough to hold mecha sparring matches. It was as good as any ordinary coliseum. Moreover, every protective implement was made to withstand battles between Title Douluos and greater, so three-word battle armor masters had no way of doing any real damage here.

Tang Wulin’s lips cracked into a faint smile. He turned to Yue Zhengyu with a friendly look in his eyes.

As soon as Yue Zhengyu stepped into the gymnasium, his whole aura changed.

He seemed to be a little fearful earlier, but when he arrived at this place, his gaze and his disposition seemed to have undergone a transformation that could overturn Heaven and Earth. Light shimmered in his eyes as if he was filled with the belief that he was undefeated. There was a soft, pulsating glow around him. Tang Wulin could clearly sense that there was a light element fluctuating around Yue Zhengyu’s body so intense that it turned practically turned his body into a soul light bulb, its light faintly flashing.

Both of them stood gazing at one another, one hundred meters apart. Long Yeyue, Wu Zhangkong and the numerous inner court disciples had all gathered outside to watch the battle.

After Tang Wulin had suddenly become the Sea God’s Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy, there were still quite a few people who were feeling rather rebellious amongst the inner court disciples, especially those who had a good relationship with Lan Muzi.

In many people’s opinion, Lan Muzi, who was already of Title Douluo-rank now, was even more qualified for this position than Tang Wulin. In fact, Lan Muzi’s qualifications were no less than Wu Zhangkong’s in the slightest. Judging by his cultivation base, he could even surpass Wu Zhangkong. He deserved to be the number one candidate.

Nevertheless, the Holy Spirit Douluo and the Light Dark Douluo chose the leader of the current generation’s Shrek Seven Monsters, Tang Wulin, who was only twenty-one years old, without any reservations.
