Douluo: Yun Ming in the Spirit Hall Era

Chapter 51 Departure

Oscar looked at Yun Ming, who had extended an invitation to him, his heart filled with complex emotions. Yun Ming was the first person in so many years who hadn't mocked him and even acknowledged him, but Yun Ming was also the direct instigator of Shrek Academy's disbandment. Now he was unsure how to interact with Yun Ming, and whether he should accept Yun Ming's invitation.

Flander, who was standing nearby, saw that Oscar did not refuse outright this time, and roughly understood the struggle in Oscar's heart.

Flander also believed that joining Yunming's family might be a good option for Oscar, so he decided to help Oscar out.

"Oscar, the Academy's disbandment is a well-considered decision. I don't blame anyone, so follow your heart and choose the path that best suits you!"

Oscar looked at the dean when he heard him speak. Flander continued.

"Currently, there are many factions you can join, but each has its own problems."

"Of the three upper sects, Haotian has retired, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has no shortage of support-type soul masters, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is not friendly to its other subordinate soul masters!"

"While both the two great empires and the Spirit Hall value you, their internal struggles will be fierce. With your lazy nature, you're not suited to join them!"

Oscar was somewhat surprised. He thought Flander would hate Yun Ming, but he didn't expect Flander to say this. Flander had excluded all the major powers stronger than Yun Ming's family, making his inclinations obvious.

Even Yang Wutian, who was standing next to him, began to look at Flander with new respect. Although his abilities were indeed lacking, his concern for his students did make him seem like a teacher.

Oscar glanced at Yun Ming and Yang Wutian, then looked back at Flander and said in a low voice.

"Dean, am I really not allowed to come with you?"

Flander looked at the pitiful Oscar in front of him and seemed to see the scene when they first met when he first took Oscar in. Although he was reluctant to part with him, he still said firmly.

"No!"

Hearing Flander's clear refusal, Oscar gave up completely. He bowed to Flander and shouted.

"Thank you so much, Dean. Oscar will never forget your nurturing and guidance over the years!!!"

After saying "I'm joining" to Yun Ming, he turned and left the playground.

After everyone had left, Flander spoke to Yun Ming one last time.

"Young friend Yun, I've won the bet! We're even!"

Then he left too.

As Yun Ming watched Flander's departing figure, enduring the headache that flared up again due to Shrek Academy's disbandment and the return of his memories, he responded in a low voice.

Let's make it a win-win situation!

Their bet was that if Yun Ming attended more than half of the classes at Shrek Academy, Flander would win. Now, Yun Ming attended one class at Shrek, confronted the dean, and essentially destroyed the academy, so his attendance rate is 100%. However, he traded tens of thousands of gold soul coins for Oscar from the Broken Clan, making this a huge profit for Yun Ming.

Moreover, after this week's entanglement with Shrek Academy, coupled with the numerous fragmented memories brought about by Shrek's disbandment, Yun Ming's memories from his past life have unknowingly recovered most of them, including his memories of Shrek Academy, which are now almost entirely back. However, these memories are somewhat fragmented, with many seemingly missing crucial parts, preventing Yun Ming from fully grasping the logic. Nevertheless, the truth is not far off!

Afterwards, Flander activated his Martial Soul True Form and took Ma Hongjun to Blazing Fire City to register for Blazing Fire Academy overnight.

To ensure Ma Hongjun could cultivate properly without being affected by the side effects of his martial soul, Flander even used his own savings to buy him a pair of beautiful personal maids. Although Flander didn't ultimately give his savings to Yun Ming, it's unclear what he thought about using it for this purpose.

However, the final result was satisfactory. The vice dean of Blazing Fire Academy personally received Flander and his apprentice. He not only promised to train Ma Hongjun to the highest standards, but also stated that he would find a way to solve his martial soul defect problem.

The Blazing Fire faction was very happy to accept Ma Hongjun's joining. Even disregarding the fact that Ma Hongjun had a high-level Soul Saint master backing him, just considering his Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul—a top-tier spirit even in the Douluo Continent—and his Soul Power reaching level 27 at the age of twelve, the Blazing Fire faction had to give him a warm welcome. Although his Martial Soul had some unique flaws, they had already come with a solution: arranging a separate dormitory for Ma Hongjun. What was that?

And so, with Flander's high-speed operation throughout, Ma Hongjun arrived in Blazing City from Soto City, thousands of miles away, in just two days, and successfully enrolled in Blazing Academy.

As for why Flander was in such a hurry, besides the fact that the registration period for Blazing Fire Academy was nearing its end, he might also subconsciously not want Master Yu to have the opportunity to harm his disciple! After all, most of Flander's knowledge of Soul Masters, apart from some personal cultivation insights, came from Master Yu. And after being rendered speechless by Yun Ming's arguments, he decided not to gamble his own disciple's future on Master Yu's knowledge!

Three days later, Yun Ming saw Flander again, looking travel-worn, but this time the chubby Ma Hongjun was nowhere to be seen.

Ma Hongjun wasn't the only one to leave; Ning Rongrong did too. After three days of relentless effort, Miss Ning ultimately came up empty-handed. This made her wonder if her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was failing, or if she herself had lost her charisma. Finally, filled with resentment, Ning Rongrong left the academy and returned to Tiandou City.

Yun Ming should have left by now, but Oscar wanted to say goodbye to Flander before leaving, which is why it has been delayed until now.

After quickly tidying themselves up, Flander and Shao Xin saw Yun Ming and Oscar off at the academy gate. Oscar bid farewell to Flander and Shao Xin.

"Dean, teachers, I'm leaving!"

Shao Xin patted Oscar on the shoulder and spoke up to warn him.

"Little Ao, you have extremely high talent. From now on, don't be so lazy, you need to cultivate diligently! Do you hear me?!"

Flander said to Oscar with a hint of melancholy.

"Little Ao, take good care of yourself from now on!"

Oscar responded with tears in his eyes after hearing the dean's and teachers' admonitions.

"I will!"

Flanders then preached to Yunming.

"Young friend Yun, I'll be relying on you for guidance from now on!"

Looking at Flander's solemn expression, Yun Ming answered seriously.

"Of course, Dean Flander, please rest assured!"

Flanders nodded, and finally spoke.

Go!

Yun Ming, Oscar, and Yang Wutian boarded the carriage and headed out of Shrek Academy.

Watching Yun Ming and his companions disappear into the distance, turning from near to far into shadow until they vanished, Flander breathed a sigh of relief. He had finished arranging things for his students, and he had also prepared the route for Tang San and the others; all that was left was for Yu Xiaogang to arrive. Flander could now prepare to do what he needed to do.

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

Then Flander went to Shrek's teachers' quarters and gathered the remaining three old friends together.

Looking at the four old friends he had known for over twenty years, Flander sighed and said.

"I know everyone is very sad to see the college go, and I am too. But the college can't continue operating, and I can't sacrifice the students' futures to fulfill my own wishful thinking!"

Hearing Flander say this, the others felt a lump in their throats. They couldn't blame Flander, after all, the student's future was also important to them. Zhao Wuji then said with a regretful expression.

"We understand, Flander!"

"But, twenty years!!!"

The others remained silent, but Flander saw the same reluctance and sadness on their faces. Flander couldn't offer any words of comfort; only time could heal this sorrow. Flander then revealed his own plans.

"Besides the fact that the academy was unable to continue operating, I also wanted to make up for the regrets I had left behind."

"I want to see how the students are doing, how they are faring, and the families of those seven children, to see if I can offer any compensation!"

At this point, Flander took out a letter and handed it to Zhao Wuji.

"Old Zhao, you've been with me at Shrek Academy for twenty years, it's time to think about yourselves!"

"This letter of introduction can be considered..."

Before Flander could finish speaking, Zhao Wuji interrupted him.

"Alright, Flander, that's enough of this!"

"If we wanted power and money, we brothers would have already left with that Ning family girl! Wouldn't that be better than you three pennies?!"

"And I also want to see how those little brats are doing now!!!"

After Zhao Wuji spoke, the others also responded.

"Yes, Flander, let's go take a look!"

"Now that you mention it, I'm a little curious about how Qin Ming is doing."

"..."

Watching Zhao Wuji, Li Yusong, and the others begin their lively discussion, Flander suddenly felt as if something had gotten into his eyes, but the feeling was quite pleasant. The envelope in his hand was shattered by soul power, and then Flander made his decision.

"Okay! Let's go together!!!"

P.S.: The Shrek Saga has officially ended. The next chapter will be about Yunming and Yali, with Yunming's memories fully restored!!!

Rather than letting Flander and the others cause Yun Ming some insignificant trouble, let them atone for their past mistakes!
