Douluo: Yun Ming in the Spirit Hall Era

Chapter 48 Awakening from a Beautiful Dream, A Profound Understanding

While Ning Rongrong was thinking about investigating Yun Ming, what was our protagonist, Yun, doing? He was rapidly heading towards Soto City.

Yun Ming appeared as if he were a willow catkin, drifting in the wind amidst the golden wheat fields, his steps neither hurried nor slow, yet his speed was by no means slow.

Because of the sudden morning meeting, Yun Ming's breakfast time was delayed, so he is now speeding up his journey so that he can finish breakfast at the normal breakfast time.

As for Yun Ming talking to Dean Flander of Shrek Academy about the collapse of faith, although it was not Yun Ming's intention, after reflecting on it, Yun Ming realized that this might also be a new opportunity.

Through Yun Ming's meticulous observations and summaries over the past few days, both directly and indirectly, and personally, Yun Ming concluded that Shrek Academy was fundamentally flawed, and ridiculously so. Rather than allowing Shrek Academy to grow stronger and more distorted in the future, it would be better to take advantage of its current small size and undergo a radical overhaul.

Whether or not Flander can recover from the blow of the destruction of his faith, there are only three possible outcomes for Shrek Academy: he will listen to Yun Ming's advice and be determined to reform Shrek Academy; Shrek Academy will disappear; or Shrek Academy will maintain its current style.

Either outcome is acceptable to Yun Ming. He's already spoken so harshly; the final result for Shrek Academy is now up to fate. As for Yun Ming joining Shrek Academy to change things? Sorry, Yun Ming isn't about to jump into a fire pit himself! This is Yun Ming's way of giving that person an explanation.

With Yun Ming's accelerated pace, he quickly arrived in Soto City. Yun Ming ultimately finished his breakfast within the normal breakfast time.

After being possessed by his martial spirit, Flander flew to a steep cliff a hundred miles away, where he sat cross-legged on the mountaintop, looking withered and lifeless.

The collapse of his faith left Flanders seemingly without any spiritual support, leaving him to wander in loneliness and confusion.

Flanders now felt only endless pain, and he felt that his will was about to collapse.

Half an hour later, Zhao Wuji and his group finally found Flander on the mountaintop. When Ma Hongjun saw Flander, who looked utterly despondent, he immediately went up to him and called out to him.

"teacher!"

"Teacher!!! What's wrong with you?!"

"..."

But there was no response. Flander seemed to have completely lost his senses, and no matter how Ma Hongjun called out to him, he didn't react at all. Zhao Wuji and the others were heartbroken to see Flander in this state.

Seeing this, Shao Xin hurriedly stepped forward to check on Flander's condition. Among his old buddies, only Shao Xin, who was a food-type cultivator, knew a little about medicine. Shao Xin grabbed Flander's wrist and carefully checked his pulse.

After a while, he sighed and shook his head.

Seeing Shao Xin's emotions and actions, Zhao Wuji and Ma Hongjun were overcome with grief, and then they heard Shao Xin say something.

"Flander's emotional fluctuations have caused his blood and qi to stagnate, leading to liver qi stagnation. Currently, his self-protective mechanism has completely shut down his perception of the outside world. We can only wait and see when Flander can come to his senses and regain his composure!"

Zhao Wuji, Ma Hongjun, and others: "..."

Hearing Shao Xin say this, Ma Hongjun and the others breathed a slight sigh of relief; at least it was better than the worst-case scenario they had imagined. Since Shao Xin had said so, there was nothing they could do but wait.

Meanwhile, Yun Ming returned to Shrek Academy after finishing his breakfast.

From a great distance, Yun Ming saw Oscar running wildly around the entire village where Shrek Academy was located.

Yun Ming roughly understood Oscar's feelings at that moment, so he didn't disturb Oscar. He just watched quietly as Oscar ran lap after lap.

Oscar finally couldn't hold on any longer after running eight laps, and he collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Just then, Yun Ming stepped forward and handed Oscar a water bottle. Oscar looked at the water bottle in front of him, then looked up at the calm and collected Yun Ming, his feelings complicated. Oscar didn't take the water bottle, but stared at Yun Ming in front of him. He wanted to question Yun Ming about why he did this, but he couldn't bring himself to ask. Shrek's situation left him speechless.

Seeing that Oscar didn't take the water bottle, Yun Ming didn't react negatively. He put the bottle down, went to a villager's house, and rented a small courtyard, planning to stay for a few days. He also needed to see the final results from Shrek Academy.

three days later

Flander, who had been like a withered tree, finally began to change. To the astonishment of Zhao Wuji and the others, Flander's hair rapidly turned white, soon becoming completely white as snow.

Upon seeing his teacher's hair turn white in the blink of an eye, Ma Hongjun burst into tears and hurriedly followed after him, calling out to him.

"teacher!!!"

"Teacher, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"

When Flanders heard his apprentice's call, he finally came to his senses. He looked at the chubby little boy who had caused him so much worry over the years, with snot and tears streaming down his face, and his heart warmed a little. At least he hadn't failed in taking on this disciple.

"Hongjun, I'm fine, I just figured something out."

After finishing his sentence, Flander looked at his old buddies Zhao Wuji and Shao Xin, who all looked worried, and said...

"Sorry to have worried you guys, I'm fine now!"

Seeing Flander's unusually calm expression, Zhao Wuji felt a pang of distress. His eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"Flander, I'm going to kill that brat right now! A level 79 peak Soul Saint, I want to see if he can stop me, Zhao Wuji, from killing!"

"At worst, we'll kill someone and then wander the world!"

Upon hearing Zhao Wuji speak, Li Yusong and Lu Qibin also chimed in.

Li Yusong: "Old Zhao, I'll go with you. I want to meet that kid too!"

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Lu Qibin: "Peak Soul Saint! Old Zhao, I'll help you!"

Even Shao Xin, who is usually the most mild-mannered, immediately started making candy beans in preparation for battle.

Flander was deeply moved to see his old comrades wanting to cause trouble for Yun Ming on his behalf; all these years of brotherhood hadn't been in vain. "But it's unnecessary," Flander said.

"No need, I think that kid is absolutely right!"

Seeing that Flander was starting to talk nonsense, Zhao Wuji quickly spoke up.

"Flanders..."

But before he could finish speaking, Flander waved his hand to stop him and continued.

"I'm serious! I don't hate him; on the contrary, I'm somewhat grateful to him!"

"Thanks to him for waking me up, for waking me from this unrealistic dream of 'Shrek Academy'!"

Hearing Flander say this, Shao Xin looked at Flander with surprise and doubt. Flander continued to explain.

"After being scolded by that kid, I recalled a lot of things: Qin Ming's disappointment at missing the Continental Academy Soul Master Competition, the regrets of those students who hadn't graduated, and the arrogance of most of the students..."

Recalling the environment of the academy, Flanders continued his sermon.

"And the unimproved campus environment and education system, as well as the wages I've been withholding from you all—all of these remind me that my 'Shrek dream' has always been just a 'flower in a mirror, the moon's reflection in water'!!!"

"What a pity! I was blinded by this self-righteous ambition for so many years."

"It wasn't until that brat Yun Ming pointed his finger at me and berated me that I finally came to my senses!"

Then Flander said to Zhao Wuji and the others, blaming himself.

"Because of my own dream, you old buddies and those students paid such a heavy price!"

"sorry!"
