Douluo Continent: I, Tang Wulin, a Kamen Rider

Chapter 121 Don't underestimate the bond between our three-person team, you bastard!
Upon seeing this, Wu Changkong immediately tried to catch up and say something.
But when he turned around, he saw Tang Wulin and the others walking back the way they came.

Seeing this, Wu Changkong quickly asked, "Wu Lin, where are you going? The assessment isn't over yet!"

Tang Wulin explained to Wu Changkong's doubts.

"Sorry, Ms. Wu, we feel like Shrek Academy doesn't really welcome us."

"So after we discussed it, we decided to go to the Spirit Pagoda with Gu Yue to study."

At this moment, Xu Xiaoyan, who was standing to the side, added with a smile.

"That's right, Teacher Wu. Didn't this senior say that we all got zero points in this round?"

"Besides, she also said that neither Xie Xie nor I were qualified to go in, so of course we wouldn't humiliate ourselves by staying here."

Seeing this, Xie Xie scratched his head and said with a hint of embarrassment.

"Um, Ms. Wu, you know, our trio made a promise to stay together, so I'm listening to them."

That's right, this is what they discussed: instead of separating at Shrek Academy, why not join the Spirit Tower together?

Anyway, the Spirit Pagoda is a major power on par with Shrek Academy.

Moreover, Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan each took on a teacher during these three years.

According to them, their teacher was not only young and beautiful with high cultivation, but also a high-ranking member of the Spirit Transmission Tower.

Isn't this a million times better than that fierce old woman in front of me?
Moreover, and most importantly,
For children like Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie who grew up normally, Shrek Academy might still have a layer of historical embellishment.

In the eyes of Tang Wulin and Gu Yue.

Shrek Academy has never held a "status" superior to any other academy.

It's just an academy with no filters, one you can attend or not.

If it weren't for Wu Changkong's help with everyone's training over the past few years, they wouldn't have been able to refuse.

In addition, Tang Wulin also has an agreement with Ye Xinglan, as well as the halo that Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie hold for Shrek Academy.

So, with their talent, where can't they go?

Why do you insist on being humiliated at Shrek Academy?

It's like we're begging them to come to school!
Sorry, if they don't want me here, there are plenty of other places that will!
Meanwhile, after hearing that everyone wanted to leave Shrek Academy and join the Spirit Tower.

Wu Changkong and even Cai Yue'er and the others suddenly changed their expressions.

How could such promising talents as Tang Wulin and Gu Yue abandon the right path and go astray?

This is intolerable!
It should be noted that even if Cai Yue'er is angry now, it is only because Tang Wulin and the others rejected her overtures.

That's why she deliberately announced that everyone got 0 points, wanting to temper everyone's temperament.

After all, this is what helps to establish Shrek Academy's prestige in their hearts and foster a sense of belonging to Shrek Academy.

Mr. Cai generally refers to this behavior as the "combination of kindness and severity" by those in power, which is also commonly known as KFC.

But she never expected that Tang Wulin, Gu Yue and the others couldn't stand the slightest grievance and wanted to drop out of school!
How can this be?

Does Shrek Academy really have so little prestige in the eyes of the younger generation?

But judging from the admiring look on the young man's face when he was holding the dagger, it doesn't seem like it!
Moreover, Wu Changkong is a student from Shrek Academy.

They must have certainly publicized the benefits and greatness of Shrek Academy to everyone!

However, for whatever reason.

A martial soul possessing unprecedented mastery of all six elements.

A young child possesses sword intent and can even alter the martial spirit of a storybook.

Such an extraordinary martial spirit, such a peerless genius.

She would absolutely not let them defect from Shrek Academy to the opposing forces so easily!

Thinking of this, Cai Yue'er flashed and instantly appeared in front of everyone.

"You're saying you want to drop out of school and join the Spirit Pagoda?"

Seeing this, Tang Wulin said with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry, senior, the four of us are in the same team, so we can't be separated."

In contrast to Tang Wulin's tactful response, Gu Yue replied with a cold expression.

"Didn't you say we all got zero points? Then you can go find students who got full marks and have them become your students."

"I'd like to see how many moves you can withstand when we meet again, this student who's perfect in your eyes!"

Seeing that the two refused again, and that Gu Yue actually responded so forcefully to her previous words.

Cai Yue'er's expression became uncertain again, and the aura of a Title Douluo was involuntarily released.

Because she never expected that Gu Yue and Tang Wulin would be so disrespectful to her.

Moreover, these kids really have no respect for Shrek Academy!
Looking at Cai Yue'er's unpredictable moods, Tang Wulin was quite troubled.

He hadn't expected that Gu Yue, who was usually so cold-hearted, would be so irritable today.

But despite saying that, he responded with concrete actions, showing his strong support for Gu Yue.

Seeing Tang Wulin stand in front of Gu Yue again and draw his Flame Sword, Cai Yue'er finally understood.

Their Shrek Academy, renowned throughout the continent, truly held no special superiority in the eyes of these little guys.

This kid actually dared to draw his sword against her!
Do you really think this is still just a minor skirmish?
Didn't you see she was a Title Douluo?
Aren't you afraid she'll punch him to death?

Has this kid always been this brave?
The atmosphere became tense again when Tang Wulin drew his Flame Sword.

Seeing this, Wu Changkong wanted to say something.

But at this moment, Cai Yue'er's tight old face suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haha, good, very good. I heard Chang Kong say backstage that your four-person team is not only talented, but also closely connected. Now it seems he was right."

"Very good, you've passed this round, all full marks."

Seeing this, everyone was stunned and looked at Wu Changkong with puzzled expressions.

Upon seeing this, Wu Changkong immediately understood and explained to everyone.

“I have already repaid your talents to Elder Cai, so this test is not just about your talents.”

"It will also test the bond of friendship and unity among the four of you."

"So Mr. Cai did that on purpose just now, just to see how you would deal with the problem of the team falling apart."

"It seems you've done a great job. Mr. Cai gave you all full marks."

Seeing this, Xie Xie immediately relaxed.

"You scared me to death, Ms. Wu! Why didn't you tell me sooner? I was so worried!"

As he spoke, Xie Xie's voice gradually faded.

Because he discovered that Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and even Xu Xiaoyan showed no signs of relaxing.

Clearly, they don't believe this reason.

Tang Wulin and Gu Yue need no further explanation; they could easily see that this was a carrot-and-stick approach.

Xu Xiaoyan, however, did not see through this hidden behavioral pattern.

But compared to Xie Xie, who is a boy and still has some romanticized views of Shrek Academy.

As a sensitive girl, Xu Xiaoyan is now deeply affected by Cai Yue'er's punch that hurt Tang Wulin. She no longer holds any positive feelings towards Shrek Academy, and even harbors some resentment towards them.

You should know that her teacher was a member of the Spirit Pagoda.

If it weren't for the lingering fondness I had for Shrek Academy when I was a child, and my reluctance to disrupt Tang Wulin's promise to Ye Xinglan...

She had already dragged Tang Wulin and the others to the Spirit Pagoda to seek refuge with their own teacher!

Now, let's set aside those perfect filters we use to view Shrek.

Xu Xiaoyan carefully recalled Cai Lao's behavior and tone just now.

She also realized that what had just happened could not be explained by mere premeditated acts.

Furthermore, what exactly is a four-person squad?

She, Tang Wulin, and Gu Yue are clearly a three-person team!

Therefore, it is clear that Wu Changkong did not tell this so-called Elder Cai any detailed information about their team.

Because if she really told this old Cai, she wouldn't have mentioned a four-person team.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoyan also stepped forward and walked side by side with Gu Yue and Tang Wulin.

Then, she held Tang Wulin's left hand tightly, showing her trust in Tang Wulin and the three-person team through her actions.

Meanwhile, Xie Xie's lips twitched as he saw the backs of the three people ahead.

Why did he feel excluded at such a serious moment?
Am I, Xie Xie, not a member of the four... oops, I mean, three-person team?

Upon realizing this, Xie Xie immediately understood as well.

After all, he only had a soft spot for Shrek, not that he was really stupid.

It's now clear that they want to leave, but this Title Douluo in front of them is trying to persuade them to stay.

They would even contradict themselves to find an excuse to prevent them from dropping out of school.

Then why did you ramble on for so long?

Who are you trying to scare?!

I, Xie Xie, am also a young master of a family. Do you think I wouldn't see through this trick?

That's right, this time, Xie Xie also completely erased the Shrek Academy filter from his mind.

And, most importantly...

In his view, the Shrek Academy that hurt Wu Lin was not the Shrek Academy in Xie Xie's heart!

So, don't underestimate the bond between those three-person teams from Shrek Academy, you bastards!

Xie Xie stepped forward and stood beside the group, demonstrating his support for his companions' ideas through his actions.

Meanwhile, seeing Tang Wulin and the others walking side by side again, Wu Changkong, as their teacher who had accompanied them for several years, felt a warmth in his heart.

This proves that he did not misjudge them; Tang Wulin and his three-person team not only possessed outstanding talent, but also all adhered to their respective agreements.

Help each other, trust each other, and unite as one!
But then, Wu Changkong's heart began to ache.

Because he never expected that the first thing his students would actually do when they came together would be...

They actually want to leave Shrek Academy together!

They even went so far as to draw their swords against the higher-ups of Shrek Academy!
With half of him a student and the other half a mentor, Wu Changkong truly felt like he was being roasted on a fire.

I'm happy that there are no problems with the emotional bonds between the students, but I'm also saddened that the students are so resistant to my teaching group.

But seeing the atmosphere freeze again, Wu Changkong took a deep breath and then spoke to Tang Wulin in front of him.

"Wu Lin, I remember you made a promise with Ye Xinglan three years ago, right?"

"You wouldn't want her to wait for you alone at Shrek for three years, only to receive news of your dropping out of school in the end, would you?"

Yes, he didn't try to persuade Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie, who had previously had a good impression of Shrek Academy, nor did he try to persuade Gu Yue, who had already developed a clear aversion to Shrek Academy.

He did not, as a teacher, force the students to enter Shrek Academy.

He merely brought up the agreement Tang Wulin made with Ye Xinglan three years ago.

Based on his understanding of Tang Wulin, he knew that Tang Wulin would definitely reconsider the matter if the promise from that time was brought up.

As long as Tang Wulin agrees, Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan will choose to follow Tang Wulin no matter how much they hate Shrek Academy, and Xie Xie will do the same.

Of course, saying those words might also cause a rift in his relationship with Tang Wulin and others.

But this is still better than having Tang Wulin and the others, filled with dissatisfaction with Shrek Academy, turn to the Spirit Pagoda instead!

After all, it's hard to say about Tang Wulin, Xu Xiaoyan, and Xie Xie.

He knew Gu Yue's personality very well.

This girl seems cold and indifferent to everything.

But deep down, she held Tang Wulin in very high regard.

So who knows, after Gu Yue has mastered his cultivation, he might seek revenge against Silver Moon Douluo for Tang Wulin's sake.

He certainly didn't want to one day find himself on the battlefield fighting his students!

As expected, after hearing Wu Changkong mention the agreement made three years ago, Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan's expressions changed slightly, and they looked at Tang Wulin one after another.

Even Cai Yue'er looked at Wu Changkong with some surprise, because Ye Xinglan was an inner court student.

He is also one of the almost predetermined members of the next generation of Shrek Seven Devils.

Therefore, as a high-ranking member of Shrek Academy, she naturally knew Ye Xinglan.

However, she didn't expect that this young man in front of her would also know Ye Xinglan?
Why is it that this kid doesn't have any respect for Shrek Academy at all?
While Cai Yue'er was deep in thought, Tang Wulin also made a decision in his heart.

"Don't worry, Teacher Wu. Since I've already made a promise with Xinglan, I won't break it."

"However, since you have already told this senior about our information..."

"Then please, senior, don't waste our time. Just tell us whether we are qualified to stay at Shrek Academy."

"If that's not enough, then we're simply outmatched, and we'll leave now."

"If that's enough, then please go on with your business, senior! I hope the next assessment will be conducted by other seniors."

"As the number one academy on the continent, Shrek Academy should have other titled Douluo seniors in charge, right?"

As he spoke, Tang Wulin sheathed the Flame Sword and then looked at Cai Yue'er in front of him with a serious expression.

Yes, he would not break his promise, but he did not want to see Cai Yue'er putting on airs in front of his companions again!

Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie nodded quickly after hearing Tang Wulin's decision.

Whether they leave or stay, they all support Tang Wulin's decision.

Moreover, they shared the same thought as Tang Wulin: whether they stayed or left, they absolutely did not want to look at this old woman in front of them anymore.

Seeing Tang Wulin's straightforward words and everyone's agreement, Cai Yue'er's expression changed.

She was humiliated like this by a group of juniors!

Why don't you just accept the step your teacher offers?
Why be so bold as to say outright that you don't want to see her?
