Transmigrating into Douluo Continent: I Am a Master

"The hope of Douluo Continent."

Zhang Mo murmured to himself.

This is what the old man told him, the so-called divine voice.

How could I possibly be the hope of Douluo Continent? Huo Yuhao seems more like it than I am. All I've done so far has been to help him grow better and reduce some of the so-called regrets. These things are far from being considered hope.

Forget it, let's go deal with something else.

Zhang Mo turned and left the Sea God Pavilion, walking towards the shore.

"Oh my god, who steered the boat away! How am I supposed to get back to the outer courtyard if the boat's gone?!"

……

After settling Xu Sanshi in the academy's medical ward, Beibei, her mind elsewhere, rushed back to the outer courtyard without stopping.

I've been away participating in the Soul Fighting Tournament for two months now.

At this moment, he misses his beloved very much.

At this time, Xiaoya should be helping out at Sister Wang's shop. Beibei hurriedly rushed to the teahouse in the outer courtyard.

Outer courtyard, tea house.

Xiaoya, dressed in the store's uniform, silently swept the floor.

Beibei has been away for two months; soul-guided communication devices were not yet common in this era. How could she not miss her lover?

She had already taken the Wood Fragrance Pill that Zhang Mo left her before he left, and although her soul power and cultivation speed had improved compared to before.

But she was still very insecure and sad inside.

Firstly, she felt that with her current level, it would be difficult for her to graduate from the foreign language department, and she might not even be able to successfully advance to the sixth grade.

Secondly, although she and Bei Bei did not communicate, she could still hear news from the Star Luo Empire about Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao on the front lines.

I heard they won the Soul Battle Tournament under incredibly difficult conditions... while I'm still just a Soul Master. My junior brother's soul power is probably almost catching up to mine...

Tang Ya had considered dropping out of school more than once in the past month, but she always remembered the promise Zhang Mo made before he left. At the very least, she couldn't be a person who broke her word; since she had taken the Mu Xiang Dan, she had to keep her promise!

But every time she waves to comfort herself, she quickly falls back into despair.

Days passed, and she remained in this academy where Beibei and her parents were absent, like a walking corpse.

Watching my classmates improve every day, striving for a better tomorrow and future, I feel like I don't belong at Shrek Academy; my daily progress is negligible.

Your enemies are improving every day, and with each passing day, the gap between you and them is widening.

When will this boring life at the academy ever end...?

Tang Ya turned her head to look at the sunlight outside the tea house; the sun was shining brightly today. Through the window, she could see students from all grades of the academy walking around, their faces beaming with youthful, warm, and bright smiles.

Tang Ya's heart tightened at the sight. A long, long time ago... she must have laughed like them too...

Tang Ya painfully withdrew her gaze, closed her eyes, and refocused her attention on the old floor of Sister Wang's teahouse.

Each step made a creaking sound, much like the noise one would expect from an old house.

Tang Ya was wearing a shop assistant uniform, and her haggard face contrasted sharply with the students outside the window.

That's true. I was able to get in using the Tang Sect's work-study program quota. If I had gone through the normal admission process, I probably wouldn't have been able to get in.

Just then, a voice came from afar!

"Xiaoya!"

Tang Ya heard it.

It was her lover calling her name.

But she didn't turn around. She had heard that familiar voice countless times over the past month. Yet each time she turned around with a heart full of surprise, there was no one behind her.

Her friend told her that she was hallucinating, probably because she missed Beibei too much.

So this time, she didn't look back.

How could it be Beibei... He should still be in the Star Luo Empire, thousands of miles away.

What's wrong with me lately? Maybe I should ask Sister Wang for a day off to rest.

"Bang!"

The door of the teahouse was suddenly pushed open, causing the entire teahouse to shake.

Tang Ya's body trembled involuntarily from fright. She turned her head with a hint of anger to see who had pushed the door open so hard, startling her.

But the first thing that catches the eye is a familiar face with sharp features and a gentle, smiling demeanor.

"Xiaoya, I...I'm back."

Beibei pushed open the door, letting the sunlight from outside the teahouse into the room.

The dazzling yet warm sunlight shone on Tang Ya, making her feel warm both physically and emotionally.

For a moment, she couldn't tell whether the warmth came from the sunlight or from the radiant young man shining in the sun.

He was always like that; as long as he was by her side, Tang Ya felt that the world wasn't so bleak.

The door opened, and Feng Gua entered the teahouse, leaving Tang Ya with a cool expression.

She reached out to touch it, and realized it was tears. Tears streamed down her cheeks. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether they were tears of joy from a long-awaited reunion or tears of pent-up grievances finally being released.

Beibei could also tell that the tears on his lover's face were not simply due to joy. He quickly stepped forward and took his lover's arm: "What's wrong, Xiaoya? Did someone bully you at school?"

"No...no." Tang Ya wiped away her tears, then smiled back at her lover, broke free from Bei Bei, and snuggled into his arms.

"Welcome back, Beibei."

"Yes, I'm back. Xiaoya."

After a while.

The two sat down in a window seat, and Beibei began to tell Tang Ya about her experiences in the Soul Fighting Tournament over the past two months and the extra rewards she had just received from the Dean and Pavilion Master at the Sea God Pavilion.

Tang Ya's behavior was normal at first, but her expression changed when she heard the title "Lifetime Shrek Seven Devils," and she became gloomy again.

With her keen perception, how could Beibei not notice the changes in her beloved's expression?

"What's wrong, Xiaoya? You don't seem very happy."

Tang Ya looked up at Bei Bei, forcing a smile. Then, glancing out the window, she said softly, "Bei Bei, you are now a lifelong member of the Shrek Seven Devils. I'm happy for you."

"From now on, you are Thunderbolt Baby, one of the Seven Monsters."

"But my beloved Beibei has disappeared."

Beibei frowned slightly, not understanding what Tang Ya was trying to say. He asked, "How could that be, Xiaoya? How could I disappear? I'll always be with you, I'll be waiting for you in the inner courtyard."

Tang Ya turned to look at Bei Bei, who still had that forced smile on her face, but there were too many indescribable things in her eyes.
