Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, I will never die in a battlefield.

Chapter 95 The Reality of Shrek? Zhang Lexuan's Confusion

Few people knew about Zhang Lexuan's departure.

After bidding farewell to Elder Mu, she went straight to the Spirit Transmission Tower.

Standing in front of the Spirit Transmission Tower, Zhang Lexuan paused slightly, looking at the tower that was entirely black, and felt a little uneasy.

This is an unnatural feeling that comes after a change in identity.

She was once a member of Shrek Academy, but now she has come to the Spirit Tower.

The sense of helplessness that comes with the change of identity is stronger than I imagined.

"Senior Sister!?"

Suddenly, a joyful voice rang out.

Zhang Lexuan looked over and saw a figure walking quickly towards her.

"Lin Le?"

"Yes, it's been a long time, Senior Sister!" Lin Le replied with a smile.

Zhang Lexuan paused for a moment, then suddenly noticed something and hesitantly asked:

"Your Hand"

"My hand?" Lin Le blinked and followed Zhang Lexuan's gaze to her hand covered by a black glove.

"Oh, this is a soul guide arm that the tower master customized for me. It can connect to soul power and even mimic the flow of my own meridians, so that my cultivation speed is no different from before."

"Apart from not being made of flesh and blood, it is almost exactly the same as my former arm."

Lin Le took off his gloves, revealing his silver-gray arms with a metallic sheen.

For him, losing his arm was almost equivalent to cutting off his path to cultivation, but it was restored after he joined the Spirit Pagoda.

It can be said to be a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Zhang Lexuan looked at Lin Le and, sensing the genuine joy emanating from him, fell into a strange silence.

"But, Senior Sister, what brings you to the Spirit Transfer Tower?"

Lin Le got back to the main topic.

Zhang Lexuan fell silent again, paused for a moment, and then said, "I'm here to join the Spirit Pagoda."

"Join the Spirit Pagoda!?" Lin Le's tone was noticeably more excited, and at the same time, a slight hint of wariness was lowered.

"Yes." Zhang Lexuan nodded.

"That's great, Senior Sister! Sister Minyue misses you too! Maybe we can get together sometime."

Lin Le gestured with his eyes to the staff member in the uniform of the Spirit Pagoda Security Department not far away, then looked at Zhang Lexuan again:

"Let's go, Senior Sister. I'll take you directly to the Tower Master's office. The Tower Master has already given prior notice."

Lin Le led the way, and the two entered the Spirit Transfer Tower together. As they walked, Lin Le spoke familiarly about some things to be aware of inside the tower, his tone carrying an indescribable meaning.

"Sister Min Yue can stand up now, and she's even the leader of the third medical team at the Spirit Pagoda."

"I'm currently assisting with research related to life energy, which is said to be related to limb regeneration. Maybe in a while, my hand will be able to return to its original state."

Lin Le kept talking, just like he was a chatterbox when he was in the inner courtyard. However, Zhang Lexuan could hear some emotions in Lin Le's words that she hadn't heard in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy.

That sense of pride and identity was slightly different from the feeling he had when he shouted "The Glory of Shrek." This pride and identity was purer and more genuine.

"Lin Le."

Zhang Lexuan hesitated before speaking.

"What's wrong, Senior Sister?"

Lin Le smiled and turned to look at Zhang Lexuan.

"Do you really think the Spirit Pagoda is better than Shrek Academy?"

Lin Le paused for a moment, then his smile gradually faded completely. He sighed softly, then spoke calmly:

"Senior Sister, although I can't be considered a commoner Soul Master, my parents are both Soul Venerables. If it weren't for my good luck in having a mutated Martial Soul and innate level eight Soul Power, I wouldn't have been able to enter Shrek Academy."

"Similarly, if it weren't for the academy, my soul ring configuration would never have been the optimal one, and the soul skills I obtained would have been tailored to me, since I don't have the money to hire someone to hunt soul rings for me."

"I am very grateful for Shrek's training, so after joining the Inner Academy, I actively completed my assignments, hoping to repay the academy in this way."

"I have a clear conscience before the college!"

Lin Le's voice suddenly rose slightly, but he quickly realized his loss of composure, and after calming down a bit, he continued:

"But what about the academy?"

"Having my arm crippled is like cutting off my future. I had full confidence in the academy, thinking that it would give us a good arrangement, or at least some compensation, so that I wouldn't have any worries for the rest of my life."

"However, the reality was that the teacher who came to handle the matter threatened us with expulsion, demanding that we kneel down in public at the Sea God Pavilion meeting to apologize to Elder Xuan, in order to retain him and admit that the mistake was ours, not Elder Xuan's."

"What... How could this be?" Zhang Lexuan's pupils trembled slightly. She wanted to question it, but looking at Lin Le's expression, she couldn't say a word.

"Heh, it seems Senior Sister doesn't know."

"You agreed?"

"Otherwise what?" Lin Le retorted. "Senior Sister, I have parents and a younger sister who just turned six."

"Sister Minyue can refuse directly, and even curse at that teacher, because Sister Minyue's maternal grandfather is Elder Zhuang, who is also one of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion. Therefore, Sister Minyue has the right to decide her own life."

"But I can't. I have no so-called background. All I have is myself. My so-called dignity is not as important as my parents and sister. I can't let them be implicated."

"As the eldest sister who was adopted by Elder Mu, you were different from us from the very beginning, and I can't see the hope I want in Shrek Academy."

Lin Le spoke one sentence after another, each sentence shattering Zhang Lexuan's beautiful perception of Shrek Academy.

If Xuanzi's incident and the subsequent handling of Xuanzi shattered Zhang Lexuan's beautiful fantasy about Shrek Academy, then...

Now, Lin Le's words caused the crack to widen wildly, revealing the dirty reality beneath that beautiful fantasy.

Lin Le paused, leading Zhang Lexuan to a door. Turning around, he took a deep breath, gradually calming himself down.

"So, this is my answer to your initial question. The Spirit Pagoda is indeed better than the academy. As for the reasons..."

Lin Le raised his prosthetic limb and calmly said, "At least, the Spirit Pagoda made me truly feel what hope is."

Zhang Lexuan was shocked and immediately couldn't say a word.

Lin Le sighed, shook her head slightly, and then looked at Zhang Lexuan: "This is the Tower Master's office. Senior Sister, you can go in directly. I hope we can still be colleagues."

Lin Le smiled, then turned and left.

Zhang Lexuan stood there, watching Lin Le's departing figure and the door in front of her, lost in deep confusion.
