Chapter 133: Parting from Shrek, Lan Xue's Letter

At the exit of the small town, the Imperial Fighting Team and the Shrek group were bidding each other farewell; this brief encounter thus came to a temporary end.

"Brother Nan, I do not know when we shall meet again after this parting. Tang San will surely keep your various acts of assistance in his heart." Tang San truly viewed Nan Feihuang as a friend at this moment.

After all, in his eyes, Nan Feihuang had helped him deal with the Human-Faced Demon Spider, helped him rescue Xiao Wu, and even brought back a thousand-year Datura Snake Spirit Ring suitable for him; this was truly a great kindness.

"Brother Tang, there is no need for this. I have said that my becoming friends with you is, in fact, a form of investment. I only hope that when Brother Tang achieves the rank of Title Douluo in the future, you will have a bit more favor toward my Gu Lei Kingdom," Nan Feihuang said with a smile.

In his own eyes, however, he had killed the Human-Faced Demon Spider, causing Tang San to lose his External Spirit Bone, and while he had saved Xiao Wu, he had also swindled Tang San out of his future hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring and soul bone, giving him a Datura Snake instead and adding a few more moves of Blue Silver Entanglement to his repertoire.

This was effectively dragging someone from the thirteenth floor down into the basement, yet the other party was still grateful to him, which made Nan Feihuang feel a bit embarrassed.

On the other side, Qin Ming was also saying something to Zhao Wuji. In fact, Nan Feihuang did not need to guess to know that it was inevitably the same as in the original story: Qin Ming wanted to invite Shrek to study at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

During this time, he had also discovered the excellence of these Shrek children. Among the Imperial Fighting Team, apart from Nan Feihuang and Xun Yu, the aptitude of the others was still a notch inferior to these Shrek children.

Qin Ming had a regret from his youth: because Shrek was not a very formal Advanced Spirit Master Academy at the time, he lacked the authority to register for the Continental Soul Master Elite Tournament, and thus missed that tournament.

Now, he did not wish for these excellent juniors to follow in his footsteps.

With such aptitude, it would be a great pity if they did not perform well and shine in the Soul Master Tournament.

Although there were several commoners among these children who did not meet the admission requirements of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he believed that as long as the Three Education Committee Members saw their aptitude, they would certainly make an exception.

Moreover, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy had two entry slots: a guaranteed main team and a second team. The guaranteed team was, without a doubt, the Imperial Fighting Team. As for the second team slot, Shrek would definitely have a chance to compete for it once they joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Zhao Wuji thought for a moment and said, "Alright, Xiao Qin, I will discuss your proposal thoroughly with Flender after I return."

He had to admit that lacking the right to participate in the Soul Master Tournament was Shrek's biggest problem at present.

As a heaven-gifted talent of a generation, who would not wish to step onto that dream arena and compete properly with the geniuses of other academies?

"Then, I shall await good news at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. I welcome Teacher Zhao and Dean Flender to bring these children over at any time," Qin Ming said happily; he was truly looking forward to Shrek's arrival.

The two groups separated at the town entrance, each heading in a different direction.

Now that the Imperial Fighting Team had become a Gold Spirit battle team due to Nan Feihuang's addition, they certainly would not go to Suotuo City for any more Spirit Fighting, so Qin Ming chose to return directly to the academy.

Dugu Bo had left the group at some point, and it was not until they had traveled dozens of miles from the small town that he caught up again.

After the two dropped to the back of the group and were at a distance from those in front, Nan Feihuang asked anxiously, "Old Poison, how is my mother? Did she not come with you?"

He had just asked Dugu Bo to go to the place where his mother was healing and, if possible, bring Lan Xue over so that with his own medical skills and the herbs he carried, he could help her recover as quickly as possible.

"Your mother has already left; she left a letter for you." Dugu Bo handed the letter in his hand to Nan Feihuang.

Nan Feihuang hurriedly opened it to read.

"My son, seeing this letter is like seeing me: Huang'er, the Poison Douluo Mianxia must have already told you the ins and outs of the matter. Mother knows you are worried in your heart, but rest assured, Mother is fine. The two Immortal Herbs you gave Mother have made my body resilient and my self-healing ability extremely strong; the external injuries have basically recovered. As for the remainder, Mother will return to the Gu Lei Kingdom and, with the help of Elder Zhang's martial soul, will be fully recovered within half a month. After half a month, Mother will personally come to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to take you home. My son, you may wait in peace."

After finishing the letter, Nan Feihuang finally felt completely at ease. Lan Xue's tone had no issues, and since she promised to come pick him up in half a month, she indeed seemed to have no major problems.

With the assistance of a Food-type Soul Saint, recovery would be quite fast.

"Now you can rest easy, Xiaofeijiang!" Dugu Bo had long discovered over these past few days that although Nan Feihuang seemed no different from usual, he had been in a somewhat restless state.

He must have wanted to leave the Star Dou Great Forest to see his mother for a long time, but had to stay there due to something he had to do. Only now did he return to being that sunny and cheerful Nan Feihuang.

"Indeed. However, just because Mother is fine does not mean I will not settle this account with Tang Hao. I will definitely find an opportunity to compete with him openly and fairly," Nan Feihuang said.

Dugu Bo smiled, "Hehe, you have just reached the Soul Ancestor realm and already dare to take the Clear Sky Douluo as your imaginary enemy; you are truly confident. But I believe you can do it."

This Old Poison had witnessed Nan Feihuang's growth along the way and trusted him very much.

However, if he knew at this moment that Nan Feihuang possessed Twin Spirits and that his second martial soul was already equipped with a sealed hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring, he probably wouldn't just call it confidence—he would be counting on his fingers to calculate the day of Tang Hao's death.

Walking back to the Heaven Dou Academy would take about three or four days. The Imperial Fighting Team were all nobles and did not lack money, so naturally, whenever they reached a city, they would stay at the best hotel there, with one room per person.

That night, they stayed in a fairly developed small city.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Nan Feihuang's door was knocked.

"Come in, Wenruo!" Even without guessing, Nan Feihuang knew who would be looking for him at this time.

"My Lord, congratulations on the completion of your plan." Xun Yu walked in with a smile.

"Wenruo, I know that you coming to see me at this time is not as simple as just offering congratulations. You must have something to say to me, right?" Nan Feihuang asked.

Xun Yu nodded, "My Lord's eyes are like torches; your subordinate indeed has something to ask."

"Speak."

"Very well, My Lord. I wish to ask you: could you refrain from absorbing that hundred-thousand-year soul bone in a hurry? Keep it for a while; it won't disappear anyway, and it would be quite good to use it to fish for someone," Xun Yu said.

Nan Feihuang smiled, "Hehe, it seems you have another interesting plan, Wenruo. Coincidentally, I was thinking the same thing; perhaps it is the same as what you have in mind."
