Douluo Dragon King: Martial Soul Spring and Autumn Cicada, Lord of Time

Chapter 95 The Three-Year Agreement

"Zhao Tao, do you want to stay in Class Zero, or go to Shrek Academy?"

"No matter what you choose, I will stand with you!"

Upon hearing Wu Changkong's words, Gu Yue did not express her own opinion.

Instead, she smiled sweetly, looked at Zhao Tao beside her, and asked him a question.

Whether she stayed in Class Zero or went to Shrek Academy, it made no difference to her.

All she wanted was to stay by Zhao Tao's side, to stay with the person she loved.

"Teacher Shen, thank you for your kindness."

"Teacher Wu, thank you for analyzing the pros and cons so clearly, and for giving us the freedom to choose."

"Shrek Academy is great, but I still hope to stay in Class Zero and one day, together with my friends, get into Shrek Academy."

Upon hearing Gu Yue's words, Zhao Tao stepped forward, smiled, and politely declined Shen Yi's offer.

Admittedly, Shrek Academy's inner courtyard has more resources than East Sea Academy's Class Zero.

If Zhao Tao were at Shrek Academy, his growth rate might be even faster.

However, for himself, who is a reborn individual...

Some extra resources, and an early boost of one or two levels in soul power, are not really decisive factors.

On the contrary, Zhao Tao's choice to stay in Class Zero was certainly not for any "partners" or "bonds".

Those are just things that children believe.

As a reborn person, Zhao Tao is now a full-fledged adult.

His decision to stay was naturally based on deeper considerations.

First of all, although his relationship with Gu Yue has gradually deepened and become more real, and they can be considered a couple.

But in the end, there was still that last layer of paper between the two, which was not completely removed.

If he were to go to Shrek Academy at this time and reunite with Na'er, it's hard to say whether Gu Yue's strong possessiveness would affect the development of their relationship because of Na'er.

This was obviously a risky thing, and Zhao Tao didn't want to be a gambler and leave the chance to roll the dice to God.

Therefore, Zhao Tao decided that it was best not to be overly ambitious and try to have his cake and eat it too.

It's safer to finish eating Gu Yue in the bowl first, then think about Na Er in the pot.

Secondly, we must keep an eye on Xiao Wulin.

Zhao Tao couldn't help but feel constantly worried about this eldest son of the Tang family.

On the one hand, it is necessary to prevent his thoughts from being assimilated by the divine sense of Tang Sect, Wu Changkong, and even Tang San—Old Tang.

Finally, while Tang Wulin still had a correct sense of right and wrong, they cultivated his ability to think independently.

Zhao Tao didn't want him to be dragged back into the abyss and become Tang Shenwang's accomplice.

On the other hand, Zhao Tao also had to monitor the awakening of the Golden Dragon King bloodline in Tang Wulin's body at all times.

At the same time, we must protect Tang Wulin.

Try to prevent him from being attacked or stimulated by dragon-type martial spirits or spirit beasts, which could cause the seal on the Golden Dragon King's bloodline to loosen.

Under these circumstances, abandoning Tang Wulin and going directly to Shrek Academy would obviously be an unwise thing to do.

That's why Zhao Tao rejected the "temptation" of Shrek Academy's inner court almost without hesitation.

"This is a chance to directly enter Shrek Academy's inner court. Aren't you tempted?"

Upon hearing Zhao Tao's refusal, a look of surprise flashed across Shen Yi's face, and he asked in return.

Shrek Academy is undoubtedly the number one academy on the continent, a promised land for countless soul masters.

How could someone be so calm and decisive in refusing an invitation from Shrek Academy's inner court?

For a moment, Shen Yi couldn't help but think more highly of Zhao Tao.

"Teacher Shen, it would be a lie to say I'm not tempted."

"However, even though Shrek Academy is here, I don't want to abandon my friends."

"If Teacher Shen can agree, let us bring the other students from Class Zero to join Shrek Academy."

"Gu Yue and I would naturally be more than happy to have each other."

"Otherwise, I'm willing to wait another three years to accompany them in the next assessment and get into the academy together."

Upon hearing Shen Yi's words, Zhao Tao naturally wouldn't reveal his true thoughts. Instead, he smiled and nodded, offering a plausible reason.

"Very good, you're such a good child!"

"Never abandoning your comrades—that's the quality we at Shrek Academy value most!"

Hearing Zhao Tao's words, Shen Yi was not angry, but nodded with satisfaction, his eyes full of appreciation.

Even Wu Changkong, who was standing to the side, showed a faint smile of satisfaction.

"Although I really hope that I can bring you all with me to join the academy."

"However, your friends haven't yet met the standards to join the academy and still need to work hard to grow."

"However, I can reveal that Shrek Academy's entrance examination is also conducted in a team format."

"I believe that with your and Gu Yue's guidance and help, you will definitely be able to pass the assessment and join the academy together in three years."

"Furthermore, I hope you can always maintain a warm and kind heart, as this will greatly help you pass the 'veto' stage of the character assessment."

After a pause, Shen Yi continued.

"Thank you, Ms. Shen. See you in three years!"

Upon hearing Shen Yi's words, Zhao Tao nodded and made a three-year agreement with Shen Yi.

"No need to be so polite. Speaking of which, your dance teacher is my senior, so we're all family!"

Looking at Zhao Tao and Gu Yue in front of him, Shen Yi's eyes were full of appreciation and care, and his tone became extremely gentle.

After all, Gu Yue and Zhao Tao were his senior brother's disciples, and they were of the same lineage as him.

Shen Yi naturally felt a natural affinity and goodwill towards them.

Although their previous actions were somewhat radical, those were all the fault of that scumbag and beast Xu Lizhi. They had no choice but to expose him in public. After learning that they were Wu Changkong's disciples, Shen Yi naturally wouldn't have any opinions about Zhao Tao and Gu Yue because of such a trivial matter.

After exchanging a few more words with Wu Changkong, Shen Yi led Ye Xinglan and Ning Xiaoyu off the stage.

As for Xu Lizhi, who was buried in the garbage dump, he no longer belonged to Shrek Academy, so Shen Yi naturally couldn't be bothered with this filthy, smelly, and disgusting lump of rotten flesh.

Seeing Shen Yi walk off the stage.

The host, holding a Soul Guidance Microphone with a proud smile, announced loudly that Team 1 of Class 0 of Donghai Academy had won the championship in the Youth Group Three-on-Three Team Competition.

Upon hearing the referee's voice, thunderous applause erupted once again throughout the Tianhai Gymnasium, lasting for a long time.

Amid applause, Zhao Tao, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie bowed to the audience before slowly walking off the stage.
