Chapter 543

"Teacher, teacher!"

Thus 【1】 "Teacher, teacher!"

"Huh?"

Hearing the call, Tang Wulin raised his head. A girl in Shilake Academy uniform stood with her hands on her hips, looking at him helplessly.

"I'm talking to you, what are you spacing out for?"

Tang Wulin smiled sheepishly.

"Sorry, I just remembered something from the past. Please continue, Wu Siduo."

This girl's name is Wu Siduo, and she is one of the most talented young people of her generation.

She possesses the Twin Soul of White Tiger and Netherworld Spirit Cat, reached the four-ring level at a young age, and can even perform a Self Martial Soul Fusion Technique; when Tang Wulin first saw her, he was genuinely shocked.

Such a person actually being in the same class as Xie Xie… Tang Wulin couldn't understand why, despite both having Twin Souls, the gap between Xie Xie and her could be so huge.

One can't even have a second set of soul skills, while the other can play with Self Martial Soul Fusion Technique; they hardly seem like the same thing.

Xie Xie's so-called Twin Soul of Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger, in Tang Wulin's eyes, is actually not much different from a Twin Dagger Soul.

Wu Siduo asked curiously:

"Teacher, what did you just remember?"

Just now, Tang Wulin's expression was very gentle.

Although Tang Wulin has always been gentle as a teacher, in her impression, he rarely shows such a soft expression.

Tang Wulin smiled gently:

"I remembered the time when I married Huo Yutong."

"As I thought."

Wu Siduo had an unsurprised expression.

The homeroom teacher and his beloved wife have a very harmonious relationship, something all the freshmen of this Shilake Academy cohort know.

Although both have proper jobs, the students often see this loving newlywed couple clinging to each other all the time.

This left Wu Siduo feeling helpless.

"Teacher, it's good that you have a good relationship with your wife, but you also need to consider the feelings of us students who are constantly forced to eat your dog food."

"Huh, I understand."

"No, no, no, you absolutely don't understand."

Wu Siduo felt she could no longer complain.

It's thanks to her having watched Tang Wulin's wedding live broadcast on TV back then, being captivated by his charm, and then hearing he would be teaching this cohort, that she deliberately rushed over to enroll at Shilake Academy.

Never expected he would be such a wife slave.

Indeed, what you see on TV can't be trusted.

No, upon further thought, the fact that he gave a set of four-word battle armor prototype as a wedding gift already showed the signs.

Wu Siduo let out a long sigh and asked:

"Regarding our matchup against the second-year class, do you have any instructions?"

The exchange match between first and second years is about to start; Tang Wulin previously taught the second-year class, and Wu Siduo wanted to see if she could get some advice from him.

Tang Wulin raised his brows, thought for a moment, then said with a smile:

"Well, actually there's not much; there's only one thing that truly needs extra attention."

"What?"

"You must be especially careful of their class monitor, Yuanen Yehui."

Besides that, he doesn't intend to give Wu Siduo too many hints.

The second-year students are all taught by him personally; he knows their strengths and weaknesses inside out, so if he really gave too many instructions, the match would be somewhat unfair.

Just telling her who to watch out for is about enough.

Wu Siduo muttered softly:

"Their class monitor… Yuanen Yehui?"

Her wariness of Yuanen Yehui instantly began to rise sharply.

During this time, she has also roughly figured out Tang Wulin's personality.

Given Tang Wulin's usual habits, if Yuanen Yehui were merely the second-year's strongest, he wouldn't have specifically said that.

It seems the problem with this guy named Yuanen Yehui is very serious.

We need to go back and properly discuss countermeasures against her.

Seeing her thoughtful expression, Tang Wulin nodded satisfactorily.

It seems she understood his meaning.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed since the wedding.

Tang Wulin, just as he and Xie Xie had agreed, became Xie Xie's homeroom teacher.

But he didn't expect that the assistant homeroom teacher assigned to him would be Wu Changkong, the white-clad, blue-sword wielder.

The former master and apprentice have now become colleagues, and in a sense he is still Wu Changkong's direct superior… He can't help but suspect that someone harbors ill intentions here.

However, seeing Wu Changkong's delighted reaction to the news, Tang Wulin ultimately didn't ask the academy to swap them.

After the wedding ended, Wu Changkong went to find Zhuo Shi and apologized to him.

Zhuo Shi's reaction was no different from what Tang Wulin expected; after being stubborn for a couple of sentences, he still accepted Wu Changkong and forgave him.

After that, Wu Changkong's expression remained icy as ever, but he was noticeably less burdened, and his spirit looked much better.

He didn't immediately take a position at Shilake Academy; instead, he chose to first return to Donghai Academy, teach them for another three years, and only after bringing them into Shilake Academy did he officially take up his post there.

During these three years, Tang Wulin took advantage of the circumstances and learned many things from the Sea God Pavilion elders of Shilake Academy, such as the method of reversing qi and blood, and the spear technique of Cloudy Nether; although they didn't directly raise his cultivation level, they greatly strengthened his personal strength.

(maybe missing?) Actually the user message ended at 【63】? Let's scroll up: The user message after 【62】 they gave:

At the same time, one year ago, he also formally completed Heavenly Forging, taking over the title of Divine Smith from Zhenhua's hands.

He forged heavenly-forged metal, and whether it was the metal's quality or the forging success rate, he far surpassed Zhenhua; as a result, in that year the number of four-word battle armor masters on the continent suddenly increased.

What's more terrifying is that the amplification ability of these four-word battle armors can only be described as outrageous; if Zhenhua's ordinary four-word battle armor merely allows an ordinary Honored Douluo to have the strength to fight a Limit Douluo, then the four-word battle armor forged by Tang Wulin grants a Soul Douluo the power to defeat a Limit Douluo.

He and Huo Yutong are naturally no exception; in fact, their two four-word battle armors are the two most powerful battle armors on the continent today.

If they were to give their battle armor to their past selves, with their original outrageous ability to fight above their rank, perhaps their four-ring cultivation would grant them the strength to battle a Limit Douluo.

Thanks to the profits from forging these four-word battle armors, Tang Wulin not only quickly repaid the money owed from his wedding, but instantly became the continent's richest man.

Thanks to this, his progress in searching for dragon bones has also become much faster than expected.

After freely upgrading all of the Tang Sect's existing three-word battle armors to four-word battle armors, Zang Xin finally decided to completely open the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye to Tang Wulin.

Thus Tang Wulin came to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye and stored all the dragon bones and medicinal herbs here into his bag.

The Wind Dragon King's dragon bone was in the hands of the Dou Ling Empire; since they themselves lacked the ability to fuse this piece of dragon bone, after obtaining several four-word battle armors they readily handed this dragon bone over to Tang Wulin.

The Dark Dragon King's dragon bone was in the hands of the Federation's people, deeply sealed in a small space; the curse placed upon it by the Holy Spirit Sect back then, even after so many years, remains difficult to completely dispel.

Fortunately, Huo Yutong was there; relying on her purification ability, Tang Wulin easily absorbed the Dark Dragon King's dragon bone.

The Federation did not deliberately charge them any fees; to them, this thing filled with curse power was originally a hidden bomb, and for Tang Wulin to be able to resolve it was already an unexpected blessing.

Rather than continuing to ask them for favors, it would be better to simply give them something, to give these two top experts a little benefit.

As for the Space Dragon King's dragon bone… as expected, it still remains at the very bottom of Hell Valley; to this day, no one has been able to break through this vast and complex spatial maze.

Tang Wulin easily brought Huo Yutong to the bottom and obtained the dragon bone from the Space Dragon King.

However, the Space Dragon King refused his invitation to take her along, choosing to remain at the valley's bottom, which made Tang Wulin feel quite regretful.

Now, to gather all seven dragon bones and officially complete the second trial of the Dragon God Nine Trials, he only lacks the Light Dragon King's dragon bone and the Mountain Dragon King's dragon bone, which exist within Dragon Valley.

During these three years, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong occasionally helped the Star Net Empire strike at the Green Skeleton Organization; whenever they acted, they could easily wipe out their targets, and after three years the Green Skeleton Organization was severely weakened, no longer possessing its former arrogance from three years ago, appearing on the verge of extinction.

Just then, the sound of the door opening rang out.

Tang Wulin and Wu Siduo instinctively turned their gazes toward the door at the sound.

Upon seeing who had come, Tang Wulin quickly stood up.

"Teacher, why have you come?"

The visitor was none other than Zhenhua.

Since Tang Wulin officially became a Divine Artisan, Zhenhua has become much lazier, pushing most of his work onto Tang Wulin and living a quasi-retired life; occasionally, when he feels restless, he runs to Tian Dou City or Sleak City's Forging Association to take on some tasks, forging some high-grade metals.

Tang Wulin felt deeply grateful, understanding that Zhenhua was doing this to make way for him, allowing him to smoothly elevate his standing on the continent.

His affairs could proceed so smoothly; Zhenhua's help was indispensable.

Zhenhua shrugged and said, "I actually have no pressing business; I just had a sudden whim to come chat with you. This person I met halfway along the way is the one who truly has business to discuss with you—come in, don't stand at the doorway."

As his words fell, a middle-aged man walked in from the doorway.

Tang Wulin stared blankly for a moment, then asked:

"Mr. Li, what's happened in the Star Net Empire?"

This middle-aged man's name is Li Lie; he was originally the Star Net Empire's diplomatic officer stationed permanently in the Sun Moon Federation, but after Tang Wulin agreed to help the Star Net Empire eradicate the Green Skeleton Organization, he moved to Sleak City, specializing in liaison and negotiation with Tang Wulin.

Li Lie's expression was somewhat excited at this moment, and he said:

"Your Excellency, the Green Skeleton Organization's lair has been found; His Majesty the Emperor requests that you make another trip to the Star Net Continent."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin's body shuddered instantly.

Not long after the wedding ended, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong went to the Star Net Empire and directly attacked the Green Skeleton Organization's lair as stated by the Star Net Empire.

But for some reason, it seemed that the organization's strong members had all received advance notice and left that place.

Although they ultimately succeeded in causing the Green Skeleton Organization to lose all its bases in the Star Net Empire, dealing them a heavy blow instantly, not a single one of their core members died.

At that time, after obtaining permission from the Star Net Empire's authorities, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong directly employed mental detection to scan the entire Star Net Continent, yet they could not find where the enemy was hiding.

According to the Star Net Empire's officials, it is highly likely that the Green Skeleton Organization also possesses a unique small space of their own; perhaps, through various signs, they guessed that the Star Net Empire's royal family had already reached an agreement with Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong, and thus they fled early into that small space.

In that case, Tang Wulin had no recourse; even he lacked the ability to forcibly invade the enemy's territory without knowing the entrance to their space.

Then, after casually sweeping away all the hidden bases discovered by Huo Yutong's mental detection, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong left the Star Net Continent and informed Emperor Dai Tianling that, if any news of the Green Skulls surfaced, they should contact them immediately, and they would rush over at once.

Over the past three years, most of the people killed by the Green Skulls were, while committing evil deeds, instantly slain by Tang Wulin, who arrived via spatial movement.

Tang Wulin had also captured some high-ranking members of the Green Skull organization, but strangely, their memories seemed to contain no information at all about the location of the Green Skulls' headquarters, and they didn't know how they had managed to erase it so thoroughly.

Fortunately, the cat-and-mouse game was finally about to end; all along, Tang Wulin had merely been frustrated by his inability to find the enemy's main base—once he located their headquarters, wiping out these terrorists would be a trivial matter for him.

He sat down again in his seat and asked, 'Does your nation's government have any action plans?'

Since the other side didn't simply call him directly to urge him to rush to the rescue, but instead sent Li Lie to find him, it basically meant that the Star Net Empire's officials weren't all that urgent and likely had their own ideas.

Li Lie nodded and asked, 'We do indeed have… can we bring Lord Ling Bing to listen together?'

'Fine, no problem, come over here.'

Tang Wulin waved at Li Lie, then turned his head and said to Wu Si Duo and Zhen Hua:

'Wu Si Duo, go back to the classroom first; as you can see, the teacher has an urgent matter. Teacher, sorry, I can't keep you company for a chat today—do you want to chat now or another day?'

Wu Si Duo said nothing, nodded, and left without a word.

Zhen Hua chuckled and said:

'All right, business comes first—go quickly.'

'Thank you, teacher.'

After finishing his instructions to Zhen Hua, Tang Wulin no longer wasted time; silver light flickered in his eyes, and the next second, his and Li Lie's figures vanished from the office.
