Chapter 89: Flanders' Plans.
Two months later.
Xuan Mo had not only explained and taken care of his family affairs, but he had also spent this time continuously compressing and refining his spirit power, its quality now nearing that of a Soul Sect master.
Tang San had also forged the "Flying Divine Claw" and emerged from seclusion. As for the others, they were also cultivating and making progress.
So, on this beautiful day, the Shrek people had packed their bags and were about to depart for the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
At the academy's gate, Flanders looked at the simple sign with a green monster painted on it, recalling the twenty years he had run the academy here, feeling a mixture of emotions.
Even Zhao Wuji and the other teachers couldn't help but reveal a hint of bitterness in their eyes, looking back at Shrek Academy with a hint of nostalgia.
In total, they had spent nearly half their lives here.
Even Xuan Mo, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar's eyes were filled with complexities; this place held many memories.
At this point, Zhao Wuji forced himself to cheer up and patted Flender's shoulder with a sigh. "Alright, you're already grown up, and the little monsters are still watching you. It's not like you're not coming back. At worst, we can just come back and retire."
"Let's go, to Tiandou Imperial Academy."
Finally, with Flender's own wry smile, he waved his hand and took the academy plaque away, taking it with him as a remembrance of the past twenty years.
After Flender left Shrek Academy, he composed himself and spoke loudly to the crowd.
"Alright, little monsters, Soto City is over two thousand kilometers away from Tiandou Imperial City. We need to hurry. Also, to improve your physical fitness, let's run."
Flender and Master rushed out first. Zhao Wuji, accompanied by the Food-type Soul Saint Shao Xin, ran closely behind Flender.
Seeing this, Xuan Mo and the others grumbled but had no choice but to use their soul power to keep up.
Of course, as support-type spirit masters, Oscar and Ning Rongrong's spirit and physical strength naturally fell behind easily.
So Oscar was left to Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, while Ning Rongrong was led by Xuan Mo on a sprint.
So, Ning Rongrong took a moment to look at Xuan Mo.
"Brother Mo, do you think the dean is really training us by having us run to Tiandou City?"
"Haha!"
Xuan Mo glanced at Flanders, who was at the front, and couldn't help but recall seven years ago, when he had taken him to hunt for his first spirit ring. They had traveled in this same way, and in the end, they had paid for the carriage themselves.
With this thought, Xuan Mo squinted at Ning Rongrong and sneered, "Do you believe it?"
Ning Rongrong, upon seeing Xuan Mo's expression, shook her head without a second thought, "No."
"He's such a stingy person. He probably finds hiring a carriage too expensive and walking too time-consuming. So he just runs. It saves time and money. As for his excuse, hmm! Money's tight and I need to train the students."
Ning Rongrong, seeing Xuan Mo's resentful look, immediately piqued her interest. She grabbed Xuan Mo's hand, climbed onto his bed, and asked him to carry her on his back.
Xuan Mo didn't object, but his face darkened at Ning Rongrong's question.
"Brother Mo, you look so resentful. I'm sure the dean has tricked you. Tell me what's going on. I won't tell anyone else. I'm a very tight-lipped person."
Just as Xuan Mo was about to object, Xiao Wu suddenly leaned over, her face full of curiosity. "I'm tight-lipped too, but I want to hear it too."
Unexpectedly, this single sentence instantly captured the attention of the other five.
Xuan Mo's face darkened, and he said unhappily, "Guess for yourselves. And Rongrong, don't ask anymore, or you'll just have Xiao Wu carry you. It's nothing."
With that, Xuan Mo sped up, passing the other six by two lengths, clearly unwilling to discuss further.
This only piqued Xiao Wu's curiosity, and she chatted nonstop with Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others along the way.
The content of their conversation nearly drove Xuan Mo into a state of autism.
...
A few hours passed, and it was already approaching dusk.
Flender finally stopped when the students' spirit power was nearly depleted and on the verge of collapse.
Seeing that the other six, except Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong, were breathless, Flender generously offered to let them stay overnight in the town ahead.
The next morning, everyone continued on their journey, and the situation was much better.
That night, everyone settled in the capital of the Kingdom of Silves, the city of Silves.
However, as soon as they entered the city, Flanders took everyone to stay in a very expensive hotel.
Moreover, this time, Flanders actually booked five rooms so that everyone could stay more comfortably. Even the dinner was unprecedentedly sumptuous.
At this moment, not to mention the students, even the master, as well as several teachers such as Zhao Wuji, were very puzzled by Flanders' behavior, because he was a stingy person.
At this moment, Xuan Mo and Ma Hongjun immediately felt that something was wrong. They looked at each other and knew that Flanders's gourd was definitely not a good medicine.
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal.
As expected.
At dinner, after three rounds of wine and five dishes, Flanders finally revealed his true colors.
"You haven't had any actual combat in two months. This city of Silves also has a large fighting arena. Why don't you go there tonight and exercise and participate in the group fighting."
Xuan Mo finally understood.
However, when he saw Flanders's sly smile, Xuan Mo almost laughed out loud. After all, he was about to be slapped in the face.
He remembered that in Silves City, there was a fierce team called the Fierce God Team, which was Tang San and his friends' opponent.
And this fierce team was also a small turning point for the other Shrek people.
That is, cross-level killing!
He didn't think that Flanders would have the mind to gamble when facing a near-life-or-death fighting arena.
At the same time.
Dai Mubai looked at Flanders with amusement, and said, "Dean, should we also hand over the rewards we received from this actual combat to the academy?"
Flanders said righteously, "Although the academy has been closed, as your dean, do you think I will take advantage of you? You can distribute all the income among yourselves, and it has nothing to do with us. Mubai, do you actually suspect that I have an ulterior motive?"
Just when Dai Mubai was confused, Xuan Mo was almost laughing so hard that he almost choked, and then he was ready to directly expose Flanders' plan.
So he reminded him, "Don't forget how you made money when you were in the Soto Great Fighting Spirit Arena."
Ma Hongjun even cooperated with Xuan Mo and made a "gambling" gesture with his mouth towards Dai Mubai and others.
This made everyone suddenly realize.
"Okay, let's go."
Flanders happily paid the bill, asked about the location of the Silves Great Fighting Spirit Arena, and led everyone out of the hotel.
