"Now, it's passed unanimously."
"Xiao Tao, Lin Feng, would you two be willing to be selected for the Extreme Individual Soldier Project?"
"Student Ma Xiaotao shall obey all arrangements made by the academy."
"Student Lin Feng has declined to be selected for the Extreme Individual Soldier Project."
The moment the words fell, the expressions on the faces of the elders became quite interesting, some puzzled, some angry. Even Elder Xuan stopped chewing, a hint of amusement and surprise flashing in his eyes.
That was Shrek Academy's supreme training program, created with its core resources, meaning unimaginable cultivation resources...
Top-notch mentors provide guidance, and the entire academy has high hopes for the future.
"Lin Feng," Yan Shaozhe's face didn't show anger, but his gaze became serious as he slowly asked, "Can you give your teacher a reason?"
"Teacher, I have no great ambitions, I just want to live a simple life." Lin Feng's tone was calm, even a little teasing. "My dream is to be like Elder Xuan, eating and drinking, living a carefree and leisurely life."
Lin Feng met Yan Shaozhe's gaze, a slightly uncharacteristic, almost candid, relaxed smile appearing on his face.
He worked his whole life in his past life, can't he enjoy himself in this one?
Moreover, a true man should live between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long?
Shrek's ship may be huge and sturdy, but once you board it, do you really have a say in when it docks or where it goes?
He had no desire to be forcibly tied to Shrek Academy, this black ship, and become a killing machine in the imperial war.
For him, Shrek Academy was merely a temporary place to live, grow, and accumulate power.
He never truly considered himself an object of the academy.
One day, Lin Feng will leave this place to create his own world and establish his own sect.
"The academy respects your choice. Shao Zhe, if there is nothing else to discuss, let's adjourn the meeting."
Just as the atmosphere became tense and various thoughts were swirling, an old and peaceful voice came from the recliner in the center.
Moon's voice was not loud, but it carried an air of authority, drawing everyone's attention back to him.
"Yes, teacher. That concludes today's meeting. Meeting adjourned."
As Yan Shaozhe spoke, the elders rose with varying expressions, their gazes lingering on Lin Feng for a while, but ultimately no one uttered another word.
Lin Feng remained calm.
He knew that today's choice might bring some unknown waves, but this was his path.
Ma Xiaotao gently touched his arm, her eyes filled with concern, but also with a complex mix of understanding.
The two exchanged a glance, silently turned around, and walked side by side out of the Sea God Pavilion, which determined the fate of countless people on the continent.
Raymond Lam's life has returned to its usual rhythm.
He shuttled between the classroom, training ground and dormitory as usual.
Attending classes, cultivating, occasionally bickering with Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and Wang Dong, or helping out at Tang Ya's shop, or dealing with Ma Xiaotao's feeding under the guise of "nourishing the body".
As for the academy, under Moon's instructions, they did not impose any coercion or special surveillance on him, and everything proceeded as usual, which relieved Lin Feng.
Half a semester has passed in a flash, and the freshman assessment is just around the corner.
This is not only a test of the learning outcomes over the past six months, but also concerns resource allocation, class honor, and even the ambitions of some individuals.
Beneath the calm surface, turbulent currents surge.
Lin Feng knew that his seemingly peaceful daily life was about to be disrupted.
Tang Ya, having cultivated on Seagod Island for a long time and benefiting from the Blue Silver Grass on the island, quickly rose from level 35 to level 40.
She will next face the backlash of dark power.
Lin Feng took leave immediately. He had found another way to deal with the dark power: ignite it and then devour it.
He also wanted to take Tang Ya to obtain her fourth spirit ring, which was crucial for her to pass the outer academy's assessment.
The two men clearly identified themselves as the Cave Spiders of Sunset Forest.
Tang San's powerful crowd control skill, Blue Silver Cage, derived from this spirit beast, is a result of his Blue Silver Grass spirit.
Unfortunately, the Human-Faced Demon Spider, another overlord of spiders, was wiped out by Tang San, otherwise it would have been on the list of candidates. Most importantly, it had the potential to drop the external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances, which is extremely rare.
Their luck was both good and bad. The two hadn't been searching for long in the depths of the Sunset Forest when they discovered a Cave Demon Spider King with seven thousand years of cultivation.
Its strength is comparable to that of a human Soul Master, making it extremely difficult to hunt, and its Soul Rings are beyond the capacity of ordinary Soul Venerables to withstand.
As for the fourth spirit ring, five thousand years is the limit that most spirit masters can absorb, but there are always exceptions.
"Sister Xiaoya, the situation is somewhat similar to what happened to your ancestor. Hunting it isn't a problem for me, but you need to absorb it—"
"It's as difficult as climbing to heaven." Lin Feng said solemnly.
"It's okay, I'll get through this." Tang Ya's gaze was firm.
"Okay, let's work together," Lin Feng affirmed.
He slowly released his martial spirit, and three deep black ten-thousand-year spirit rings emerged from beneath his feet. The powerful aura made Tang Ya's heart tremble.
Before Tang Ya could react, Lin Feng had already launched a thunderous attack on the cave spider.
A "Phoenix Lotus in Flames" attack cleared out the numerous traps laid by the surrounding spiders. Then, the "Mystic Ice Lotus" precisely slowed down and stunned the spiders that had revealed themselves. Finally, the "Red Dragon Heart Lotus" dealt a heavy blow to its large abdomen.
Everything was clean and efficient, as if the god of war had possessed him.
Lin Feng has never been afraid of one-on-one fights; he is only afraid of being attacked by an endless swarm of insects like the Thousand-Pound Ants.
Tang Ya delivered the final blow at the opportune moment, successfully ending the life of this powerful soul beast.
"Xiaofeng, you feel a little unfamiliar to me—the gap between us seems to be widening." Tang Ya's tone was low; she hadn't been able to help at all and was just a burden.
"Don't talk nonsense. You don't need to compare yourself to me; comparing yourself to others is fine."
Tang Ya nodded gently, sat down quietly cross-legged, and began to guide the profound ten-thousand-year soul ring.
After an unknown amount of time, a sudden change occurred.
Blood seeped from Tang Ya's seven orifices, and the dark power that Mu En had been suppressing within her suddenly erupted.
The jet-black Blue Silver Grass vines danced wildly, all attacking Lin Feng who was protecting her.
Lin Feng offered no resistance, fearing he might harm Tang Ya, and allowed the thorny vines to tightly entwine him and Tang Ya together.
The sharp thorns scraped across his skin, leaving streaks of blood, which quickly healed thanks to his powerful regenerative abilities.
The fire lotus quickly ignited the source of the dark power, and Lin Feng immediately activated the Burning Technique to absorb the ignited dark fire.
Three days and three nights passed in a silent struggle.
When the vines that had bound the two of them finally dissipated, Tang Ya slowly opened her eyes.
她成功了！
The first Soul Master of the Tang Sect in this era!
The dark power has been completely purified and no longer needs the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline to purify it.
At this moment, Lin Feng also obtained his second type of karmic fire—Blue Silver Netherfire.
This fire is a terrifying karmic fire formed from the dark power condensed from the endless resentment of the Blue Silver Grass in Douluo Continent. It is an inexhaustible source of energy.
At the same level of 40 soul power, he condensed his fourth different fire soul ring and successfully advanced to the Soul Master level.
The two embraced tightly.
Beneath him, on the land that had been scorched countless times, the seeds of Blue Silver Grass were sprouting—
