Chapter 1182: Vast Sea Cosmic Crystal (2/2)

”Yes!” Tang Wulin carefully accepted the Vast Sea Cosmic Crystal with a solemn look in his eyes.

The crystal was cool to the touch, but had a soft texture like that of jelly rather than an actual crystal, which was a rather peculiar feeling.

Long Yeyue continued in a serious voice, ”Next, we'll act according to the plan. Zhangkong, you take the first batch of students to the demonic island in person. I've already finalized which students will be going. Wulin, don't go anywhere for the next three months. Just cultivate here in the Tang Sect, and after the three months pass, you'll be going to the Star Luo Empire and Dou Spirit Empire.”

”Yes!” Tang Wulin nodded in response.

However, Long Yeyue's expression abruptly darkened slightly. ”Wulin, you are now the Sea God's Pavilion Master, and the true leader of Shrek Academy, as well as the Tang Sect Master; you have to act according to your status. No matter where you are, you represent the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, so don't ever display that attitude again, even to myself or Zang Xin and Cao Dezhi. You have to carry yourself with the aura of a leader, not the humble air of a student or disciple.”

Tang Wulin faltered slightly upon hearing this before nodding with a wry smile on his face. In all honesty, these roles had fallen upon him far too abruptly, and he still hadn't grown accustomed to them yet.

Long Yeyue withdrew her gaze, and continued, ”Alright, everything will proceed as planned. The Sea God's Pavilion will still be responsible for making all of the specific decisions.”

Aside from Tang Wulin, everyone else from Shrek Academy extended respectful bows toward Long Yeyue.

Tang Wulin was taken to an independent silent chamber. Due to his meteoric rise in status, the room that was given to him was naturally also of the highest caliber. This was a room with an area of close to 200 square meters with his very own study, bathroom, cultivation chamber, as well as a designated forging room. There was everything that he needed here.

After returning to his room, Tang Wulin went straight into his cultivation chamber, and even as he sat down with his legs crossed, he still couldn't help but feel as if this were all a dream.

Had he really become the leader of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy? It was no exaggeration to say that he was the first person in history to achieve this status! Even the legendary Thousand Hand Douluo Tang San and Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao had never reached such heights before.

Furthermore, he was only 21 years of age, so it was naturally inevitable that he was feeling rather proud of himself. However, at the same time, he knew that the burden on his shoulders had grown even heavier.

He had thought that Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue and Wu Zhangkong would be able to alleviate some of this burden, but it seemed that the brunt of the responsibilities still fell upon him. This was undoubtedly testament to the fact that everyone held him in extremely high regard, but it also meant that he would be carrying a greater burden.

However, compared to in the past, his mood was drastically different. At the very least, he was no longer alone. Shrek Academy hadn't been completely destroyed, after all, and there were still so many exceptional inner court and outer court disciples who had survived. The foundation of Shrek Academy was still there, and once they all grew up in the near future, Shrek Academy's foundation would be bolstered even further.

Perhaps this would be a slightly lengthy process, but the heritage of Shrek Academy hadn't been severed, and the Sea God's Pavilion still existed.

Tang Wulin was struck by an indescribable sense of excitement as he followed this train of thought, and he wanted to roar to the heavens in elation.

Back when he had first traveled to the Blood God Legion, he had been in a very depressed state of mind. His academy had been destroyed, which meant that he no longer had a home; how could he not be depressed and in pain?

Now, he had finally seen hope, and at the very least, everything was progressing toward a positive direction.

With the foundation of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, everything was possible. He was even beginning to think beyond his original final objective. Rebuilding Shrek Academy definitely couldn't be his final goal. After all, the continent was still being controlled by the federal government, so not only did he need to rebuild Shrek Academy, he had to garner the support of the entire federation.

There were many enemies that he and his friends were going to face in the future, including the Holy Spirit Cult, and even the powers supporting the Eagle Faction, the most difficult of which to deal with was very likely going to be the Spirit Pagoda. In fact, the threat that they posed could be even more lethal than that of the Holy Spirit Cult.
