Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

Yu Xiaogang narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "It's actually very simple."

"Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill called Netherworld White Tiger. Although their relationship is not going well right now and there is still some distance between them, we still have two years before the next Soul Master Competition begins."

"Relationships are something that can be difficult or simple."

"With a little guidance and by creating some opportunities for them, it is entirely possible to repair the relationship."

"For the immense combat power of the Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul Fusion Skill, I am willing to temporarily abandon Wang Teng, who currently has a slight advantage in combat strength."

"After all, the role of a spirit fusion skill on the battlefield is unmatched by a single spirit master."

"As for Ma Hongjun, his advantage lies in the cultivation speed brought by his innate level nine soul power."

"Although his evil fire will hinder his cultivation and affect his temperament, even if it is hindered, Ma Hongjun's cultivation speed is still faster than Wang Teng's. This is determined by his innate conditions."

"In addition, Fatty's martial soul is the Evil Fire Phoenix, which can fly, giving him a huge advantage."

"The role of air strike capability in team combat is self-evident."

"Therefore, after taking all factors into consideration, even though Wang Teng's current combat strength is indeed much higher, I still insist on keeping him in the reserve position of the team."

After speaking, Yu Xiaogang looked at Flander, his eyes filled with confidence and pride, as if to say: See, my idea was right, every decision has a good reason.

After listening to Yu Xiaogang's words, Flander remained silent.

He took off his glasses and slowly wiped the lenses with the corner of his shirt, as if processing everything he had just heard.

However, Flanders' silence was also a silent statement.

"Alright, let's settle on this."

"Flander, since you've appointed me as a teacher at Shrek Academy, then you'll entrust me with the training of all these students."

Chapter 193 Taking the Last Bit of Freezing

"You're the dean, so don't worry about these little things."

"Okay, that's all for today."

"I'm leaving now. I still need to keep an eye on their training and make sure they don't slack off."

After saying that, Yu Xiaogang stood up and left the cafeteria without looking back.

Inside the canteen, only Flander remained, sitting in a chair.

Sunlight streamed in through the windows, casting dappled shadows on the cafeteria floor.

After a while, Teacher Shao Xin came out of the kitchen, sat down opposite Flander, and looked at the dazed Flander, saying, "Are you really planning to arrange Wang Teng like this?"

"What else can we do?"

"You heard what Xiaogang said just now. According to his analysis, Wang Teng's potential and value are indeed the lowest among the group."

"There's nothing we can do about making him a substitute now."

Flander leaned back in his chair, looked up, and stared blankly at the ceiling of the cafeteria, a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"...That's a bit unfair to Wang Teng."

After a moment of silence, Teacher Shao Xin stood up and left after saying one last thing.

His figure disappeared at the kitchen doorway, leaving only those words echoing in the air.

After Shao Xin left, Flander sat alone for a while longer.

The sounds of training outside the window rose and fell, and the faint sounds of children running and shouting could be heard.

"Forget it, I don't want to."

Finally, Flander sighed, straightened his clothes, and slowly got up to leave the cafeteria.

Soon, the day passed in sweat and panting.

Nighttime, Shrek Academy, inside the dormitory.

Wang Teng lay quietly on the bed, his hands behind his head, his eyes staring at the dark ceiling.

Moonlight streamed in through the cracks in the window above the bed, casting several silvery-white rays onto the bed.

Tonight, Wang Teng did not go to the bamboo forest behind the mountain to cultivate with Ning Rongrong.

Previously, Ning Rongrong had specifically come to call Wang Teng. The young girl stood at the dormitory door, craning her neck to ask him if he was going to cultivate.

However, Wang Teng refused, saying that he was too tired from today's battle and wanted to rest early, so he did not leave the dormitory.

Ning Rongrong may have sensed Wang Teng's dissatisfaction—his dissatisfaction with Yu Xiaogang's ranking.

After the battle, everyone thought Yu Xiaogang would readjust the team's order, since everyone had witnessed Wang Teng's strength.

However, to everyone's surprise, Yu Xiaogang did not change his mind. He stubbornly placed Wang Teng in eighth place, making him a substitute.

Therefore, Ning Rongrong didn't say anything more, just glanced at Wang Teng, and then silently turned and left.

Her footsteps faded into the night.

At this moment, only Wang Teng remained in the dormitory.

Wang Teng lay in bed, struggling with a difficult decision.

Actually, I've had the idea of ​​leaving Shrek Academy for a long time.

From the day Wang Teng stepped into this academy, he understood that Shrek Academy was just a stop on his journey through life.

However, when it came to making a decision, Wang Teng still had some inexplicable emotions.

After more than half an hour, the moon climbed to the center of the night sky, and the night was already deep.

The chirping of crickets filled the air, one after another, rising and falling, like an unknown nocturne.

Wang Teng's attention was drawn back by the chirping of insects. He took a deep breath, opened his eyes wide in the darkness, and finally made his final decision.

It's time to leave Shrek Academy. There's no need to linger. Didn't I already decide this a long time ago? Why am I still having such a hard time making up my mind? He asked himself.

Perhaps it's because he has some attachments here: Ning Rongrong, the silent Zhu Zhuqing, Teacher Shao Xin who often cares about him, and even Dean Flander's appreciation.

However, before leaving the academy, I need to find a way to squeeze some more money out of Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.

Wang Teng's eyes flickered in the darkness.

"After I leave Shrek Academy, I will definitely go to find the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Those rare and precious herbs are the key to changing my destiny."

"So what I need most right now is some knowledge about poisons."

"We must not end up collapsing in the surrounding poisonous miasma before we even find the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire."

"Although it is not described in detail in the original work, it is easy to imagine that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was occupied by Dugu Bo, and there must be various poisons around it. Without relevant knowledge, it would be suicide."

Thinking of this, Wang Teng immediately threw off the covers and got up.

Then, he pushed open the dormitory door and walked into the night.

Under the moonlight, the few mud-brick houses of Shrek Academy stood quietly, with the occasional night breeze bringing a few barks of dogs.

Wang Teng quickened his pace, crossed the playground, and soon arrived at the entrance of Yu Xiaogang's dormitory.

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of urgent knocks echoed clearly in the darkness.

Soon, the door opened, and Yu Xiaogang appeared before Wang Teng.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was wearing an overcoat, his hair was a little messy, and he had obviously been woken up from his sleep by the knocking on the door.

"Wang Teng?"

Upon seeing Wang Teng standing outside the door, Yu Xiaogang was visibly taken aback, a look of surprise appearing on his sleepy face.

Why did Wang Teng come to see him at this time?

Could it be because of today's sorting?

"master."

Wang Teng bowed respectfully, his attitude very proper.

"Come in."

Yu Xiaogang turned sideways and walked inside.

Wang Teng immediately followed him inside and entered Yu Xiaogang's dormitory.

Although Yu Xiaogang's dormitory was also a house in the village, it was obvious that it was completely different from where Wang Teng and the others lived.

The walls and floors here are not made of adobe, but are made of neatly stacked bluestone bricks, making them appear sturdy and clean.

Moreover, the room is fully furnished with all kinds of furniture, including a desk, bookshelves, sofa, and even a sizable coffee table.

The most eye-catching feature is a small soul-guiding lamp hanging from the ceiling, emitting a bright yet soft light that illuminates the entire room as if it were daytime.

It's unclear whether Dean Flander specially prepared this for Yu Xiaogang, or whether Yu Xiaogang acquired it himself after coming to Shrek Academy.

Wang Teng scanned his surroundings, silently thinking to himself.

It seems that Flanders truly did his best for this old friend, giving him the best treatment.

Then, Yu Xiaogang plopped down on the sofa.

He yawned, covered his mouth with his hand, and looked at Wang Teng with sleepy eyes, asking, "Wang Teng, it's so late, is there something you need?"

Yu Xiaogang's voice carried a hint of drowsiness and confusion.

"Master, I have two matters to discuss with you."

Wang Teng did not sit down, but stood in front of the coffee table and said respectfully, "Firstly, I came here specifically to thank you."

"When I was at Notting College, I was able to learn a lot from you thanks to your care."

“I have never forgotten the various books you lent me before, and I will always remember this kindness in my heart.”

Instead of making other demands of Yu Xiaogang, Wang Teng deliberately brought up their friendship from their time at Notting College.

He knew that it was always a good idea to build a closer relationship first.
