Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

Looking into Wang Teng's serious eyes, Ning Rongrong's anger gradually dissipated, leaving only a deep sense of disappointment.

She knew that what Wang Teng said wasn't without reason, but she still couldn't help feeling sad.

In the end, Ning Rongrong stopped making a fuss and simply nodded gently, saying softly, "Alright, let's leave it at that for now."

Zhu Zhuqing remained silent, the snack in her hand seemingly untouched, her gaze indifferent, making it impossible to discern her thoughts.

The atmosphere became somewhat somber again.

The three of them wandered around aimlessly for a while, no longer discussing those troubling topics, but just chatting casually about the little things happening around them.

As night deepened and the street stalls gradually dispersed, the three of them composed themselves and returned to their respective hotels to rest.

The next day, the group did not rush on their journey.

Instead, they had another day of rest in the Soul Hunter Town.

Some people stayed in the inn to consolidate their soul power, while others took advantage of the daytime to explore the town and make up for the regret of not being able to enjoy themselves to the fullest the night before.

On the morning of the third day, after everyone had rested and recuperated, they packed their bags and set off together towards Shrek Academy, embarking on their return journey.

Soon, Wang Teng and his group returned to Shrek Academy.

As they caught sight of the familiar village silhouette in the distance, everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed.

"I'm finally back."

Oscar stood in front of the school gate, let out a long breath, and had a relaxed smile on his face.

"All I want to do right now is take a shower. I've been running around outside for so long, and I feel like I smell bad."

Ning Rongrong frowned, looked down and sniffed her sleeve, looking disgusted.

"Me too, me too, I feel so awful."

Xiao Wu immediately agreed, and even deliberately moved to the side, as if she could really smell some strange odor.

Even the usually taciturn Zhu Zhuqing nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with longing.

"Everyone, don't rush to disperse."

Zhao Wuji raised his hand to stop the group of people who were about to run away, and said, "We're back. We should at least go and report to that old bastard Flander first, so he knows that everyone is here. Otherwise, he'll start nagging me again."

With that, he led the group toward the director's office on the right side of the village.

Flander's office was right at the entrance of the village, next to the main road, only a hundred or two meters away, just a short walk away.

Just as they approached the dean's office, they heard a creak as the door was pushed open from the inside, and the shrewd-looking Dean Flander strode out.

Beside Dean Flander was a thin, somewhat dejected middle-aged man.

The man had a scholarly air about him, yet also a hint of melancholy.

"Oh, a guest?"

Ma Hongjun, with his sharp eyes, curiously sized up the person.

"He is a master."

Wang Teng looked closely, his eyes brightening slightly.

Yu Xiaogang has finally come to Shrek Academy.

"Master? Is that the teacher that the mistress always talks about?"

Ning Rongrong curiously peeked over.

"That's right, it's Xiao San's teacher—Yu Xiaogang. I didn't expect him to come to Shrek Academy. Judging from his appearance, he seems to know Flander."

Xiao Wu nodded in confirmation.

"teacher……"

Upon seeing Yu Xiaogang, Tang San could no longer contain himself and rushed forward, his voice filled with undisguised joy.

The crowd followed suit.

"Little San, you Soul Hunters are back?"

As Yu Xiaogang watched his disciple running towards him, the dejected look on his face faded somewhat, replaced by a gentle smile.

"Teacher, we just got back! I'm now in grade 31."

Tang San stopped, his tone carrying a touch of childish boastfulness.

"Good, good, you are indeed worthy of being my apprentice, Yu Xiaogang."

Yu Xiaogang patted Tang San on the shoulder, his eyes full of satisfaction, and nodded repeatedly.

"By the way, Xiao San," he changed the subject, asking, "what is the third soul skill you obtained this time?"

"Teacher, it's called 'Illusory Vine Cage'..."

Tang San immediately began to enthusiastically recount the process of hunting down the Thousand-Eyed Illusion Vine and the characteristics of its soul skill.

After Tang San finished speaking, Dean Flander looked at Oscar on the other side and asked, "Oscar, what about you?"

"How's your third spirit ring?"

"Don't worry, Dean, I've absorbed it successfully!"

Oscar chuckled and began introducing his "giant sausage clone," his tone tinged with pride.

After the two finished their introductions, Flander cleared his throat and said formally, "Alright, listen to what I have to say."

Everyone's attention turned to Flander, who pointed to Yu Xiaogang beside him and introduced him: "This is my old friend, one of the famous Golden Iron Triangles that once shook the continent, the Corner of Wisdom, Master Yu Xiaogang."

"Moreover, he was also the mistress's teacher."

"At the same time, starting today, Master will stay at Shrek Academy to teach. That means that from now on, the training arrangements for you kids will be under Master's control."

"Alright, you must be tired after all this traveling."

Yu Xiaogang picked up the conversation, casually waved his hand, and said, "I won't ramble on today. You should all go back and get some rest."

"Meet on the playground tomorrow morning, don't be late."

The group responded and dispersed in twos and threes, each returning to their lodgings.

After returning to his dormitory, Wang Teng tidied up briefly and then took a towel and a change of clothes to the village's public bathhouse.

Shrek Academy had very basic facilities; to take a shower, you had to go to the village's shared bathhouse, and you had to heat the water yourself.

However, with Ma Hongjun, a fire-attribute soul master, boiling water is still quite fast.

Like everyone else, Wang Teng took a relaxing shower, washing away most of the fatigue from days of travel.

Then he went back to his dormitory and fell asleep immediately.

Time passed quietly, the night deepened, and moonlight streamed through the window into the room, spreading a layer of silver frost on the floor.

"Bang bang bang!"

A sudden, urgent knocking sound woke Wang Teng from his sleep.

He suddenly opened his eyes and instinctively looked towards the window at the head of the bed.

Wang Teng breathed a sigh of relief after realizing he was inside the academy.

The moonlight shone obliquely in from that direction, casting a soft glow on the wall, telling him that it was already late at night.

"Who?"

Wang Teng rubbed his sleepy eyes, his voice still a little groggy.

"It's me, Ning Rongrong."

"Wang Teng, I've got the whale glue you asked me to buy before."

Ning Rongrong's clear voice came from outside the door.

Whale glue?

These two words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, instantly sobering Wang Teng up and making his heart skip a beat.

He quickly got out of bed, not even bothering to get dressed, and pushed open the window from the head of the bed, sticking half his body out to look outside.

Under the moonlight, Ning Rongrong was standing outside the dormitory door, holding a wooden box in her arms. She turned her head to look when she heard the noise.

"Rongrong, over here!"

Wang Teng stretched his hand out of the window, waved vigorously at her, and called out in a low voice.

Ning Rongrong walked to the window and handed over the wooden box.

Here, take it.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Rongrong glanced around, suddenly blushed, turned her head away, and said, "Oh dear, why did you come over without wearing any clothes!"

Wang Teng looked down and realized that he had gotten up in a hurry and was only wearing shorts, with his upper body bare, which was indeed somewhat indecent in the moonlight.

He chuckled twice, took the wooden box, and said, "Sorry, sorry, I was just in a bit of a rush."

"This thing is related to my older brother's happiness."

Wang Teng casually passed the task of buying whale glue to his older brother Wang Sheng, who was far away in Barak City, since Ning Rongrong didn't know him anyway.

"Alright, alright, I got it, I'm going now."

Ning Rongrong blushed as she said this, then turned and ran away, her pace much faster than when she came.

Wang Teng watched Ning Rongrong's figure disappear into the night, then looked down at his still fairly muscular body and couldn't help but smile.

Wang Teng closed the window, held the wooden box in his hands, and took a deep breath.

I finally got my hands on the Wannian Whale Glue.

Back on the bed, Wang Teng sat cross-legged and eagerly opened the wooden box.

By the light of the moon shining through, one could see that there were about a dozen pieces of yellowish-brown gelatinous substance lying in the box, varying in size, some as big as a palm and some only as thick as a thumb.

Wang Teng leaned closer and took a sniff; a faint fishy smell mixed with a unique fragrance wafted into his nostrils.

Based on his previous experience of consuming whale gelatin and the knowledge he gained from books, Wang Teng quickly made a judgment.
