Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

Flander pushed up his glasses, still lying there without moving, and casually said, "I have plenty of good stuff here, I'm just afraid you won't have enough money."

Wang Teng didn't mind and wandered around the store.

As he walked to the corner, his gaze was drawn to a crystal the size of a human head.

The crystal itself is transparent, but it is filled with dark yellow, flocculent impurities, making it look particularly mysterious in dim light.

Wang Teng reached out and picked up the crystal; it felt slightly cool to the touch.

His heart skipped a beat: Could this be the crystal that Tang San bought in the original story... containing "plate crystal gold"?

Although I don't know how to use hidden weapons, this thing is useless to me, but if I give it to Tang San, it would be an excellent gift.

Catering to their preferences is a way of building a good relationship for the future.

"Dean, how much is this crystal?"

Wang Teng took the crystal to the counter.

Flander glanced at it, thought for a moment, and then said, "That... I got it from someone else, and I've never figured out what it is."

"What, you know him?"

"I don't know him," Wang Teng said honestly. "But my friend is a blacksmith. If I give him some unusual materials, he should like them."

"Aren't you two going to look at anything else in the store?"

"Flanders asked."

Wang Teng gave a wry smile and explained, "Dean, you know our situation. We really can't afford the other items in your shop."

Flander stared at Wang Teng for a few seconds, then finally waved his hand and said, "Let's just assume you're telling the truth."

"Here's a crystal. You can take it for five gold soul coins."

Flanders looked at him with an expression that said, "You guys got a great deal."

"Thank you, Dean!"

Wang Sheng quickly took out five gold soul coins and placed them on the counter.

With a flick of his finger, Flander's gold coin vanished, and a satisfied smile curved his lips.

He glanced at the two brothers carrying large bags and casually asked, "Are you two going home with all this stuff?"

"Yes, Dean."

As Wang Teng carefully placed the crystal into the bamboo basket, he explained, "We've been away for two years now, it's time to go back and visit."

Flanders was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Will you come back this time?"

"It's hard to say."

Wang Teng looked at him, frowned, and said, "Is there something you need, Dean?"

"What could possibly happen to me?"

Flander leaned back in his recliner, but his gaze was fixed on the roof, as if looking into a distant place through the ceiling.

"I just wanted to say... since we're leaving, we should at least say goodbye to Oscar and Hongjun."

"You are all friends, and we don't know when we'll see each other again after this parting, so please don't have any regrets."

Flanders' tone carried an indescribable emotion. After he finished speaking, he shut his mouth and said nothing more.

"Understood, Dean."

Wang Teng nodded seriously and said, "We'll go to the academy tomorrow to say goodbye to everyone."

In fact, even if Flander hadn't said anything, Wang Teng had planned to make a special trip there anyway.

Relationships must be maintained; until the very end, no one knows where each path will lead.

The two brothers walked out of the shop carrying large and small bags.

Flander's voice came softly from behind: "Be careful on the road."

"Thank you, Dean!"

The two strolled around the streets for a while, buying everything they needed, before returning to their own courtyard.

As soon as Wang Teng entered, he slumped down on the stone bench by the well and let out a long sigh: "After saying goodbye to the academy tomorrow, we'll set off directly."

"Brother, remember to hire a horse-drawn carriage first."

"Don't worry, don't forget."

Wang Sheng placed the bamboo basket under the eaves and began to organize the things he had bought that day.

The courtyard fell silent for a moment, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind.

The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the courtyard wall in a warm gold. As Wang Teng watched the sun gradually sink in the west, he suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

My life in Soto these past two years has been intense and fulfilling, but also lonely.

Now that I'm leaving, I'm actually feeling a little reluctant.

However, he quickly shook his head, putting those emotions behind him.

The road ahead is long, and this parting is only for a better reunion in the future.

Wang Sheng walked over and sat down next to his younger brother.

Neither of the brothers spoke; they simply watched quietly as the sky gradually darkened.

Faint sounds of bustling activity drifted from the distant streets; night was about to begin in Soto City once again.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, the brothers Wang Teng and Wang Sheng had already packed their luggage.

Several bundles and two bamboo baskets were piled up in the yard, filled with items accumulated over the past two years and gifts purchased yesterday.

As for the rented courtyard, they didn't plan to pay any attention to the remaining lease period.

Now that they have some money to spare, there's no need to waste time on such a small matter.

Pushing open the courtyard gate, a cool morning breeze rushes in.

Wang Shengxian went to the street corner and hired a horse-drawn carriage. The driver was a middle-aged man who didn't talk much. He helped carry the luggage piece by piece onto the carriage.

After everything was settled, the carriage slowly drove away from the alley where they had lived for two years and headed towards the city gate.

After leaving Soto, the two brothers did not immediately begin their journey home.

Wang Teng gave the driver a direction, and the carriage turned onto a familiar dirt road.

That's the road leading to the village where Shrek Academy is located.

The wheels rolled over the uneven road surface, making a regular, bumpy sound.

In the fields beside the road, early-rising farmers have already begun their work.

Wang Teng lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside; the familiar scenery was receding little by little.

About fifteen minutes later, the carriage stopped in front of the simple gate of Shrek Academy.

Wang Teng jumped off the train first, glanced back at the carriage piled high with luggage, and said to Wang Sheng, "Brother, you wait in the train and keep an eye on the stuff."

"I'll just go in and give them a brief explanation."

"Okay, you go."

Wang Sheng nodded and remained seated on the carriage shaft without getting off.

Over the past two years, Wang Teng has been frequently coming to Shrek Academy to challenge Ma Hongjun to a duel.

Although Wang Sheng had come a few times, he wasn't really familiar with the students at the academy.

Therefore, it is appropriate for Wang Sheng to stay outside and look after the luggage at this moment.

Wang Teng turned and walked towards the academy.

Pushing open the creaking wooden door, a familiar scene came into view.

Unlike usual, they came and went in a hurry.

Today, Wang Teng slowed his pace, his gaze carefully sweeping over this village he had visited countless times.

Low earthen walls, rammed earth ground, and a few simple houses.

At first glance, it is indeed just an ordinary rural village.

However, after looking at it for a while, an inexplicable sense of familiarity welled up in my heart.

Wang Teng suddenly realized that the atmosphere of this place was actually very similar to that of Tiger King Village, where he came from.

The same simplicity, the same tranquility, the same... with a touch of seclusion.

"Oh, it's Wang Teng. It's been a while since you've come."

A gentle voice came from the side.

Wang Teng snapped out of his daze and turned to see Teacher Shao Xin standing under the eaves with a wooden basket filled with freshly picked vegetables.

Shao Xin is a teacher at Shrek Academy and the only food-type Soul Master in the academy.

Because his martial soul is a candy bean, he also takes care of kitchen chores.

In the past two years, whenever Wang Teng comes to the college, he always makes sure to take the opportunity to visit the kitchen.

The candies made by Shao Xin are very beneficial to soul power, physical strength, and injury recovery. Wang Teng ate a few after training and the effect was quite good.

Over time, the two became acquainted.

"Hello, Teacher Shao Xin."

Wang Teng quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "I was delayed by something before and haven't had time to come."

"Today... I'm here to say goodbye to everyone."

"bid farewell?"

Shao Xin put down the wooden bucket, wiped his hands, and asked in confusion, "Are you leaving Soto City?"

"Ah."
