Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting - Chapter 442

442 – Compromise

Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao were talking to Dong Qianqiu in the living room. Seeing them coming down, Nan Cheng smiled. “Nana, has he improved?”

Nana said, “He has improved a lot, but there are some areas that still need to be adjusted. I will guide him during these few days and make sure he doesn’t go astray.”

“I’ll have to trouble you then.” Nan Cheng smiled.

An Peijiu looked at Lan Xuanyu with envy in her heart. Did this little fella know that the one guiding him was a god-rank powerhouse! Although she was a god-rank powerhouse that had lost her memories, she was still nonetheless a god-rank expert.

The day went by very quickly. According to Shrek Academy’s rules, there was a limit to how many family members could come to visit in the academy. Some teaching areas were not open to the public, and Sea God Lake was not open to visitors.

After they went to Dong Qianqiu’s dorm, Lan Xuanyu and Dong Qianqiu sent them back to the hotel. They would stay over at night. Dong Qianqiu stayed with Nana while Lan Xuanyu stayed with his parents. Even though he was sleeping on the sofa, he was still extremely happy. After not seeing Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao for such a long time, he had told his parents about his cultivation process after coming to Shrek. Of course, it was different from the version he told Nana. For example, he skipped the parts where he had taken risks and gone to dangerous places to prevent his parents from worrying.

The holidays were wonderful. Nana would guide Lan Xuanyu and Dong Qianqiu in their cultivation every day, helping them sort out their abilities and teaching them how to use them better.

Lan Xuanyu felt as though he had returned to the days when Nana stayed at his house and taught him every day. He was especially happy to see Nana every day.

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

Lunch time.

“Teacher Nana, it would be great if you could stay in Shrek Academy. I’ve really learned too much these few days. If not for you teaching me, I wouldn’t have known that my Martial Soul could be used like this. This is awesome. How great would it be if you were a teacher in our academy?” Lan Xuanyu said excitedly to Nana.

He really felt that he had changed a lot in the past few days. It was unimaginable.

His abilities were still the same, but under Nana’s guidance, Lan Xuanyu realized that after breaking through to three-ring, he hadn’t grasped his abilities well at all. He had six soul skills but he wasn’t able to combine them well.

At the same time, Nana also gave him some pointers on his Dragon God Transformation, allowing him to understand the various aspects of enhancement brought about by the Dragon God Transformation. The enhancement from the Dragon God Transformation was comprehensive, but he didn’t know how to use it. Under Nana’s guidance, he had understood a lot.

During these five days, his cultivation didn’t improve much, but he could clearly feel that he was reborn.

“I want to stay and accompany you guys too. I wonder if Shrek still hire teachers.” Nana smiled.

“This might not work,” An Peijiu, who had been listening quietly, suddenly spoke up.

Nana turned to look at her and An Peijiu said seriously, “Nana, the system here is different. You belong to the Federation’s education system and Shrek Academy is a separate system. You can choose any other academy in the Federation, but I’m afraid Shrek Academy is not possible.”

“When did I sell myself to you ?” Nana looked at her calmly.

An Peijiu’s heart trembled. “Nana, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that. But your situation is peculiar and you know it.”

“Teacher Nana, don’t be unhappy.” Lan Xuanyu quickly pulled Nana’s hand.

Nana’s expression turned gentle when he held her hand. She smiled. “I’m not unhappy. I’m very happy when I’m with you.”

Lan Xuanyu laughed. “There is an auction tonight. How about we go there to take a look? Our Shrek City’s auction has auctioned a Divine Weapon. Although it is at an unbelievable price.”

Nana nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll go with you.” She was talking to Lan Xuanyu but her eyes were still on An Peijiu.

An Peijiu was slightly flustered by her gaze and stood up. “I’ll go out and make a call.”

A moment later, she returned and asked Nana, “Can I have a moment for a talk?”

“En.” Nana nodded and stood up to follow An Peijiu out.

“Nana, we have always respected your choice. That is why we’ve come to Shrek this time. But your situation is special. Due to your unique background and amnesia, the Federation must continue to keep an eye on you. At the same time, you were resurrected by the Federation’s system and its control rights belong to the Federation. We know that you have the strength of a god-rank. And such strength is too terrifying for ordinary people. Although we know that you will not do anything that is detrimental to the Federation, you are like a terrifying weapon. The Federation must protect you to prevent others from using you or your emotions from becoming unstable.”

“And Shrek Academy is a very special existence in the Federation. It can be said to be independent of the Federation and even have an equal relationship with the Federation. Let’s not talk about whether you can enter the Shrek system or not, but if you can, you will be able to break free from the Federation’s control. God-rank is extremely rare in the entire Federation. I’m telling you with my heart, in a sense, the Federation is treating you as a part of the Federation’s power. And it’s impossible for the Federation to hand over a god-rank expert to Shrek. Shrek Academy is already too strong. I’ve talked just now with the higher-ups. I think it can be done this way. If you really want to stay by these two children’s side and teach them from time to time, we can compromise. Could you listen?”

Nana just looked at her calmly. “Tell me.”

An Peijiu said, “Other than Shrek Academy, there is another advanced Soul Master Academy in the Federation’s capital, Mingdu City. It is called the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. It has a history of 20,000 years and has a long history with many outstanding students. If you are willing, you can teach there. From Mingdu City to Shrek City, if you use the Silver-Winged Angel, it will only take about two hours of flight time. You can visit these two children and teach them at any time. Of course, if you can persuade them to drop out of Shrek Academy and go to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, it will be even more convenient. You can personally guide them. Although the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is not as good as Shrek, with their current results, if they are willing to go over, they will definitely obtain the best resources of the academy. They can even be sent to the Federation for special grooming. This should be the best way out. After all, even if they graduate from Shrek, it is still the best choice for you.”

Nana furrowed her brows. “Firstly, I am an individual. I have always listened to your arrangements, not because I am willing to be arranged by you guys. I just want some peaceful days. I can’t remember what happened in the past. You guys have told me before that I might have come from more than a thousand years ago, but couldn’t find any of my records from the past. Xuanyu and Qianqiu are my students, and to me, they are like family. I won’t influence their life choices. I can accept what you said, but please tell your people that I have never been one of you. Please don’t treat me as a resource. Understood?”

An Peijiu quickly nodded. “Yes, I understand. If the Federation really wants something from you in the future, I believe that the Federation will definitely be able to offer something that will move you and let you decide.”

“You can make the arrangements. I’ll go to that academy. But I won’t teach. I’ll come here to visit Xuanyu and Qianqiu at least once a month.” After Nana said that, she turned and left.

Looking at her back, An Peijiu had a complicated look in her eyes. ‘When have I ever done such a job ?’
