Chapter 441 - Yan Feng and Sky Ice

He’s handsome . And he’s a teacher at Shrek Academy! He couldn’t be any more perfect! 

“Shrek Academy? Amazing!” Yan Feng suddenly batted her eyelashes at Wu Zhangkong . “Years ago, I really wanted to be a student there, and I even took the exams! But as you can see, I didn’t make it in . It’s a pity I didn’t, I might have been able to study under you . ” 

“No,” Wu Zhangkong said . “When you were still in school, I was a student as well . You’re not young enough to be my student . ”

“Jeez!” Yan Feng pouted . “Is that how you always talk to a girl? Don’t you know how to make small talk?” 

Wu Zhangkong didn’t utter another word . He simply ate in silence .  

This guy! Yan Feng pursed her lips and glared at him, but after a while, she couldn’t bear the silence . “Since you’re a teacher at Shrek Academy, you should be a battle armor master, right? Are you a one-word or two-word battle armor master?”

“Two-word,” Wu Zhangkong answered .  

Yan Feng’s eyes went wide .  He’s only thirty-three and he’s a two-word battle armor master! He’s incredible! No wonder I couldn’t tell how strong he was .  

“Oh,” she responded, trying to come off as nonchalant . “I just became a one-word battle armor master myself . For my first word, I chose ‘Phoenix . ’ To tell you the truth, it isn’t a great fit for me . My martial soul is the fire gourd, and battle armor is usually named after a soul master’s a martial soul or spirit soul . But I couldn’t have possibly used ‘Gourd’, so instead I used the meaning of my own name . What about you? What did you name your armor?” 

“Sky Ice . ” 

“Oh! That’s so cool!” Yan Feng exclaimed . “Why did you pick that? Is it because you have an ice-attribute martial soul?” 

Wu Zhangkong finally looked up from his food and looked her straight in the eye . “‘Sky’ is the first part of my martial soul . ‘Ice’ comes from the meaning of my wife’s name . Don’t talk while eating . Just eat . ” 

His wife? Yan Feng was dumbstruck .  He has a wife! Of course he has a wife! There’s no way a man as great as him wouldn’t! 

A feeling of loss hit her like a truck, and her appetite disappeared .  

The two ate in silence . Wu Zhangkong didn’t eat much, and he ate as slowly as ever, his mind wandering off to another time .  

☀ 

“Wow! Zhangkong, those candied yellow vegetables were amazing! The eggs were so delicious too! I can’t imagine how he cooked them so well . Just you wait . I’ll go learn how to make them and then cook the for you too, okay?” 

“Hey, leave some tofu for me too! I heard tofu is good for the skin . My skin might be nicer than yours, but I still have to put in the effort!” 

“These fishy stir-fried pork strips are delicious! Do you think I should eat another half-bowl of rice? I won’t get fat, right?” 

“You dummy! Look at you . You have some rice stuck to your face . I’m not gonna kiss you while you’re like that . Ah! Don’t rub it on me!”

☀ 

By the time Wu Zhangkong and Yan Feng finished eating and left the restaurant, the sun had reached its zenith .

Yan Feng flashed a smile at Wu Zhangkong . “Thank you for lunch . ” 

Wu Zhangkong shook his head . “I’m going then . ” 

“Can you give me your number? I’m gonna go back to the Spirit Pagoda now and ask them to revoke the investigation request I made . I’ll call you once it’s done . ”

After a moment of hesitation, Wu Zhangkong gave in and handed her his number .  

“Next time I’m in Shrek City, I’ll go find you and we can have dinner, okay?” Yan Feng beamed .  

Wu Zhangkong eyed her coldly . “I’m going . Goodbye . ” Without another word, he turned and left .  

As she watched his departing figure, Yan Feng let out a gloomy sigh . “All the good men are always taken . Really! When am I going to find a good man of my own! Heaven Spirit City is too small for me . Maybe I should head to Shrek City . I am a one-word battle armor master now, after well . Yeah . I’ll go ask the Spirit Pagoda to transfer me there . ” 

☀ 

After their defeat in Heaven Spirit City, Tang Wulin and his friends had no choice but to change their plans . They ended up taking a detour, promptly piling into their soul car and heading straight for the next city .  

Although they thought long and hard about it, they couldn’t come up with a plan more efficient than raiding someone at the Spirit Pagoda to draw out the enforcers . They had no other option but to go with the old plan . Fortunately for them, things went quite well . They cleared the next few cities without issue . No one questioned their supposed identity as supervisors, and a couple days later, they were halfway done with their exam .  

“We’re on day four now,” Tang Wulin said as he studied their map . They were once again in their soul car, heading for the next city on their route . “We need to speed up a bit . We’ll do two cities today and another two tomorrow . Then, the day after that, we’ll arrive at Bright City . It has a lot of strong people, so we shouldn’t have to raid the Spirit Pagoda there . It’s the capital city of the Federation after all . Though we will need to be more careful once we arrive . ” 

At first they were anxious as they travelled from city to city, but their nerves had calmed down along the way . The challenges they had faced over the course of their travels were profound, and as they overcame them one by one, they grew more confident . The greatest challenge they had faced was Yan Feng, and from it, they came to understand the kind of might a battle armor master wielded .  

As students of Shrek Academy, it was easy for them to take down a Soul King or even a Soul Emperor when they ganged up on one . However, when it came to battle armor, they couldn’t even penetrate its defenses! 

“Wulin, I know a place in Bright City where we can find some opponents,” Ye Xinglan said abruptly .

“Huh? Where?” Tang Wulin’s interest was piqued .

“Ten thousand years ago, we were rivals with an academy in Bright City, and even today, our rivalry continues . Their students are some of the best . They can’t compare with Shrek, of course, but they can still be counted as one of the best academies on the continent . We should go pay them a visit . ” 

Gu Yue’s eyes lit up with understanding . “You’re referring to the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Engineering Academy? The one that has already been renowned as one of the great academies for ten thousand years?” 

“Precisely . ” Ye Xinglan’s eyes glimmered with excitement . “I heard both academies still harbor grudges against each other . Imagine how awesome it would be if we beat them!”

Tang Wulin nodded . “That makes sense . I think it’s a good idea . Let’s do it . ” 

“Alright . It’s settled then . ” Ye Xinglan clenched her fists .  

“Talk about that later,” Xie Xie said, his voice trembling slightly . “First we need to deal with the problem in front of us . ”

Everyone looked out the window to see what was ahead of them . What they saw left them stunned .  

Twenty mechas lined the highway in the distance . Five were purple-grade and the rest were yellow . They had just arrived and formed a checkpoint . They wore the emblem of the Spirit Pagoda on their chest armor .  

Tang Wulin and his group had cleared five cities, and the Spirit Pagoda had finally come to judge them .  

“Wulin, what do we do?” Xie Xie asked as he slowed their car to a crawl .

Tang Wulin narrowed his eyes . Those familiar with him knew that whenever he made this face, something bad was about to happen .  

“Stop the car!” he shouted . Without even waiting for the car to stop, Tang Wulin punched the car door and sent it flying . Then he grabbed the roof tore it open .  

All six of them knew that they couldn’t afford to be captured . Although they would only be fined and forced to apologize if they were caught, there was a possibility that they could be sent back to Shrek Academy! Not only would that be shameful, they would fail their exam as well . Never in all of Shrek Academy’s history had a class president been expelled .  

Tang Wulin refused to be the first . He didn’t want to drag his friends down with him either .  

Xie Xie slammed his foot on the brakes, causing the car to swerve to the side . All of them had sturdy bodies . Even Xu Lizhi, with the defensive Tang Sect secret arts he learned, was just as resilient as the others . They were all unfazed when the car crashed into the highway divider and inertia sent them flying out of the roof in every direction .  

Gu Yue grabbed onto Xu Xiaoyan the moment they landed . She promptly shouted, “Blizzard!” 

On Gu Yue’s command, Xu Xiaoyan’s third soul ring lit up as she used Blizzard . She had already summoned her martial soul before they had been thrown out of the car . Combined with Gu Yue’s Elemental Tide, the blizzard rapidly grew until it swallowed the highway and the surrounding forest on either side .  

“Into the forest! Quickly!” Tang Wulin commanded his companions .  

Yet he, himself, stood still as he faced the approaching mechas .
