Douluo Continent: The Spirit A Yin, a Master of Both Bow and Sword

Chapter 40 Two Possibilities

The morning sun was bright, and the first rays of dawn shone through the balcony onto Ye Tianxing's face.

Ye Tianxing spent his first night at Shrek Academy safely, and there was a reason why he "spent it safely".

Tang Hao's whereabouts are currently unknown. The Spirit Hall has been searching for Tang Hao for many years without success, and the mysterious person who resembled Tang Hao abducted Tang San six years ago, and there has been no news of him since.

Ye Tianxing knew very well that wherever Tang San was, Tang Hao would inevitably be there too. He took the initiative to join the Shrek Academy, where his son Tang San was, which was something Tang Hao had not expected.

It seems that after learning that Ye Tianxing had left the Spirit Hall, Tang Hao had two paths before him.

Firstly, relying on the portrait provided by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they set up an ambush on the road that the Spirit Hall would inevitably take to leave. It is said that the Spirit Hall did not send any Title Douluo powerhouses to accompany them this time, in order to train Ye Tianxing.

Secondly, Tang Hao still lives near Tang San, protecting his son's safety while also anxiously waiting for Ye Tianxing from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to share his location.

Besides the two points mentioned above, Ye Tianxing couldn't think of any others for the time being.

Ye Tianxing took out the dry rations he bought in Soto City yesterday from his soul guide ring, mixed them with water, and started eating. The food in Shrek Academy's canteen was bland and watery, and Ye Tianxing had no appetite after just one glance at it yesterday.

How much money you have determines how well you eat. Shrek Academy is facing the risk of bankruptcy, so steamed buns and pickled vegetables are plentiful.

As the bright morning sun shone through, Ye Tianxing opened the door.

The academy was quiet and peaceful. Apart from one or two peasant women who would occasionally go to the river to wash clothes, other academy leaders such as Li Yusong and Zhao Wuji would not appear easily without special reasons.

"Knock knock knock—"

Just then, a melodious bell rang out from somewhere. Ye Tianxing looked in the direction of the bell and, with his sharp mind, he could clearly see that Tang San and Xiao Wu were rushing towards Shrek Academy's so-called playground, while Ma Hongjun, disheveled, jumped down from the fence and started running before he could even fasten his pants, only to fall flat on his face.

Upon seeing this, Ye Tianxing shook his head. Just as the original text described, this fat man was a meat lover and shared the same taste as Dai Mubai.

Ye Tianxing strode forward, heading towards the assembly point at a leisurely pace.

This is the bell that signals the assembly at Shrek Academy. Any student who hears this bell must arrive at the designated location within the specified time, or face severe punishment.

Ye Tianxing arrived right on time; he is a very punctual person.

"A hooked nose, crystal glasses, a stiff face, and a buzz cut—it seems that the two of them are Flander, the dean of Shrek Academy, and Yu Xiaogang, who calls himself a master."

Ye Tianxing observed the two people standing in front of him, paying particular attention to Yu Xiaogang. He could tell that this person had a bad appearance, with a blank look on his face and lifeless eyes. It was obvious that he had suffered a major blow and given up on himself, which was why he was like this.

"Does Bibi Dong have something wrong with her eyes, or is her aesthetic sense flawed? How could she have fallen for this guy?"

Another possibility is that Yu Xiaogang was also dashing and romantic in his youth, after all, he came from the great sect of Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, and then met Bibi Dong.

Now he looks so haggard, as if someone owes him money. What kind of blow could completely destroy a person?

He was cheated on, his fiancée was his cousin, and he was ostracized by his sect.

Douluo Continent is amazing. Ye Tianxing has seen far more oddballs over the years, including several from the Spirit Hall alone.

The most striking example is Yan, a guy who couldn't win love and gradually lost his way on the path of love, going further and further astray.

Before long, all eight people, including Ye Tianxing, had assembled.

Flander glanced around and nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad! Everyone is quite punctual. To the three new students, let me introduce myself first. I am Flander, the dean of Shrek Academy."

Then, the master came out and stood side by side with Flander. Flander introduced him, "This is the master, my teacher at Shrek Academy. He will be your teacher from now on, and the course arrangements will be handled by him."

"Let's give them a round of applause!"

"Clap clap clap—"

Tang San and Xiao Wu clapped their hands cheerfully because Yu Xiaogang was someone they knew well.

Ye Tianxing casually brushed it off, guessing from his knowledge of Yu Xiaogang's nature that it was a race with a stone on his back, but in a one-on-one duel, he rambled on and on, and in the end someone shouted something like "Master, you are so amazing".

Yu Xiaogang's eyes were lifeless and his face expressionless. He said indifferently, "The three new students are with the old students, making a total of eight of you. I hope that from now on you will be a team."

"As a Soul Master, good physical fitness is essential. I've prepared a surprise for you at the academy gate. Let's go take a look."

Everyone headed to the academy gate, each with their own questions and eagerly anticipating what the surprise the master had mentioned would be.

Sure enough, the eight bamboo baskets were full of stones, packed to the brim, and each one had a name on it.

Ye Tianxing picked up the bamboo basket, looked at the stones stuffed inside, and curled his lip in disdain. "Is that all?"

It feels weightless when you hold it, and it's not as practical as Zhao Wuji's pressure control.

"Your task for today is to make ten round trips between here and Soto City," Yu Xiaogang said.

Ye Tianxing immediately asked, "Is it just ten rounds and nothing else?"

"No." Yu Xiaogang shook her head, a strange look in her eyes, and couldn't help but glance at Ye Tianxing a few more times.

The latest novel is first published here!

Of all the bamboo baskets, Ye Tianxing's had the most stones and was the heaviest. This was intentional on Yu Xiaogang's part, to smooth out the so-called sharp edges and make Ye Tianxing less troublesome and obedient to her.

"Who do you think you are with just these few stones?" Ye Tianxing, carrying a bamboo basket on his back, transformed into a blur and darted into the distance the instant everyone else had started moving.

That's right, it darted out.

All that was left was a bewildered crowd, and Yu Xiaogang's eyes widening in disbelief.

Because Ye Tianxing came back to him. From the moment he set off to the moment he returned, it was only a few breaths. People like Tang San and Dai Mubai had only run a dozen meters when Ye Tianxing returned in one round trip.

Having undergone rigorous training since childhood, and constantly forged under the pressure of Title Douluo like Qian Daoliu, Ye Tianxing's exceptional physique, coupled with the recent tempering at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, has brought all of Ye Tianxing's physical indicators to the peak of this world.

Under Yu Xiaogang's shocked gaze, Ye Tianxing kept appearing before him, coming and going.

"two."

"three."

"Four."

"..."

"..."

"Nine."

"ten!"

Ye Tianxing tossed the bamboo basket aside, wiped the barely perceptible sweat from his forehead, and smiled, "Master, my task is complete. Can I rest now?"

"But...but..." Yu Xiaogang kept his eyes wide open, watching Ye Tianxing appear in front of him ten times in a row, at a speed that was simply unbelievable. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He only subconsciously replied to Ye Tianxing's question.
