Chapter 495 - A New Semester (2/2)

Tang Wulin nodded. “I’m planning on forging the metal for you now. Nothing changed about the requirements?”

She shook her head. “No. But the higher the quality, the better.”

Tang Wulin smiled wryly. “I’ll do my best. It’s been a while since I’ve forged, so I’ll need some time to get back into the groove of things.”

“No rush. If there isn’t anything else, I’m going back to cultivating.”

Before she could usher him out, Tang Wulin asked, “Do you know where Xie Xie went?”

Her face went cold. “I don’t know. You guys are roommates. What are you asking me for?”

Tang Wulin averted his eyes sheepishly. “I’m sorry about what happened last time. But it was a misunderstanding and we’re all classmates, so you—”

Yuanen Yehui slammed the door on him.

Tang Wulin rubbed his nose, aware of just how close he came to having it broken. Whatever. I’ll just go forge first. It's been a while since I touched my hammers. I can’t wait. A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. The image of Feng Wuyu, proud as he stormed Zhuo Shi’s home, still flashed vividly in his mind.

Feng Wuyu wasn’t supervising Tang Wulin’s blacksmithing at the moment. All of his teachers told him the same thing: he needed to increase his soul power. That was his greatest weakness.

Right before he left for the workshop, he received a call with good news. From Mo Lan’s husband.

After the call ended, Tang Wulin practically leaped into the air cheering. “Big Sis Mo Lan is awake! Yes!”

Besides still missing some of her mental faculties, she recognized all of her loved ones. This was fantastic considering the condition she was in. The Holy Spirit Douluo was also informed and would be paying her a visit sometime soon. It looked like Mo Lan would make a full recovery.

“Captain, what’s got you so happy?” Xu Xiaoyan asked as she walked onto dormitory grounds, inquisitive.

Tang Wulin beamed. “One of my friends recovered, so I’m happy for her.”

Xu Xiaoyan felt herself smiling as well. “That’s great. I’m going to put away my things first then.”

A month had passed, and while none of them had changed drastically, Tang Wulin could tell that Xu Xiaoyan held herself with more confidence than before. Her bearing had elevated ever since her martial soul evolved. Her sense of inferiority had been slowly washed away. With her three stellar soul skills, her crowd control abilities were absolute. A force that could turn the tide of battle.

They were all maturing rapidly. There was no other choice in Shrek Academy. They couldn’t afford to waste a single moment. Such a competitive environment would drive anyone into having tunnel vision, bent on self-improvement.

The moment Tang Wulin walked out the dormitory’s gates, he ran into another acquaintance. Luo Guixing.

“Hello, Class President,” Luo Guixing said.

“Guixing, what are you doing here? Are you applying to become a working student too?” Tang Wulin asked, a quirk of a smile on his lips.

Ever since Tang Wulin and his team defeated the five rankers in his class, his prestige had skyrocketed. And it didn’t stop there. After their victory against the second grade there wasn’t anyone left who could shake his position as the class president. His relationship with the rankers had improved as well. In the end, they were still classmates. There was no need to burn bridges over a class competition.

“I wanted to invite you to have a friendly match with us. It is a new semester after all, and we’ve been cultivating at Shrek for a year now. It’s a good opportunity to practice. What do you say?” Luo Guixing said, a friendly smile on his face.
