”Do you still remember Elder Li? He's the constantly smiling old man who was present during our entrance examinations. At the time, Elder Li told us that we were still young, and that we were the future hopes of Shrek Academy. He told us to never forget the tradition of Shrek Academy and the glory of Shrek. The teachers sacrificed themselves so we could survive. They chose to give their lives without any hesitation, illuminating us with their flames of life and demonstrating the Shrek spirit to us through their actions.

”They were truly n.o.ble men and women, and they used their flames of life to cleanse our hearts. Only 216 people managed to make it into the sanctuary, and Teacher Wu was the only teacher among us. All of the other teachers and the students who didn't get a chance to make into the sanctuary perished along with the academy.”

Wu Siduo was already sobbing uncontrollably at this point.

Indeed, they had only had a minute at the time, but during that short minute, all of Shrek Academy's teachers made the same decision. Not even a single one of them had chosen to cower, and none of them competed with the students for s.p.a.ce in the sanctuary.

If it weren't for the fact that Wu Zhangkong was still quite young, Elder Li would've allowed him to sacrifice himself as well. This was the Shrek spirit, the spirit of the number one academy on the entire continent!

The teachers of Shrek Academy released their final radiance by igniting the flames of life, basking Shrek Academy in the most radiant light in its final moments.

Even as an outsider, Long Yuxue was completely rooted to the spot by this story.

This was Shrek Academy!

Her seniors had always spoken extremely highly about Shrek Academy, and even in the Blood G.o.d Legion, there were many Shrek Academy alumni. However, she had always been unconvinced. Wasn't it just an academy? So what even if it were truly as powerful as everyone proclaimed?

Only now did she truly understand that Shrek was no longer just an academy; it represented a type of spirit.

Even following the pa.s.sage of 20,000 years, the Shrek Spirit hadn't waned in the slightest, and all of its teachers had made the selfless decisions in the most critical juncture. This was the Shrek Academy, an academy of heroes and legends!

Tang Wulin fell heavily to his knees before kowtowing toward the Sea G.o.d's Lake three times with tears streaming down his face.

Wu Siduo also fell to her knees beside him as she cast her gaze toward the lake before her, and they felt as if they could see the smiles and hear the voices of the seniors of Shrek Academy again.

Those strict teachers who were constantly urging them to better themselves now ceased to exist with the destruction of Shrek Academy.

Tang Wulin could still clearly recall how stringent Silver Moon Douluo Elder Cai had been toward them in the past, but where was she now? As the princ.i.p.al of Shrek Academy's outer court, it was undoubtedly the case that she would've led the teachers from the very forefront.

In the dire situation that Shrek Academy had been faced with, all of the academy's powerful beings had given their lives without any hesitation to give the students the greatest chance at survival. All of them had departed from this world with smiles on their faces as they hadn't tarnished the glory of Shrek Academy. None of them thought themselves to be teachers; they had merely done what was expected of them as teachers.

In their minds, it was a teacher's rightful duty to protect their students with their lives, and in an ordeal of life and death, they had taught their students one final invaluable lesson through their actions. This was an extremely heavy lesson that all of the students would undoubtedly remember for the rest of their lives.

”Take me to see them; I want to see Teacher Wu and everyone else,” Tang Wulin said to Wu Siduo through his sobs.

Wu Siduo nodded firmly in response before wiping the tears from her face, then turning toward Long Yuexue. ”Who is she?”

Tang Wulin replied, ”She's a friend of mine from the military; she's definitely trustworthy.”

Wu Siduo glanced at Long Yuxue, and Long Yuxue was also looking back at her. As their eyes met, figurative sparks began to fly.

”Wulin, this is an extremely important matter, so I can't allow you to bring an outsider with you. I'm sure you know what I mean,” Wu Siduo said with a serious look on her face.
