Chapter 23 - SHREK ACADEMY'S LIFE

After Zhao Wuji left all were looking at him with jaw dropped, even Dai Mubai was no exception he never saw any soul ancestors with so much of fighting experience and skills. He asked Tang San about his brothers' staff and sword arts to which Tang San replied it was self-made. Mubai kept quiet after that, he knows talking soul skills and self-made skills were taboo in the douluo continent. They can be told and taught to partners who willingly will die for each other. He didn't have such relations with them. But he was surprised by such manipulation of his spirit, to even form such beautiful staff and sword with so much ease and in instant with a thing as frail and trashy as blue silver grass. He wasn't the only one with such thoughts except Xiao Wu and Tang San others were trying to comprehend it as well.

Tang Chen came towards them he was breathing normally he usually goes against his father thrice a week for 2 hours, 15 minutes wasn't hard for him. They all asked how he did it, he nonchalantly replied Tang San can do the same as well as Xiao Wu if she stops rushing to everything. The others were again flabbergasted by these monsters. They all went towards the dorms. Mubai told them about teachers, students, and the rules of the academy. Tang Chen invited everybody for dinner and said he will cook himself. He told Mubai to invite everyone. Then he told them he was going to the city to handle some matters, and he left. Tang San and Xiao Wu told them their brothers were exceptional cooks. All nodded their heads and decided to join the dinner.

They didn't know a group and a person was separately watching all their tests. The group consists of Tang Hao, Ah Yin and grandmaster were watching by hiding their presence. While a single person was dean of the academy who watched all the scenes from the sky and was very happy to see the results. When the fight ended, Tang Chen seemed to hear his father's voice to come to the hotel they were staying at and told him their room no. He looked around and found nobody else has noticed anything and were talking to each other. That's why he left so suddenly.

Tang Chen reached the hotel and went to his parent's room. He knocked on the door, Tang Hao said to come in as its already unlocked. Tang Chen went and hugged his family, bowed before Grandmaster who was already there. Tang Hao asked him about his plans after informing him he will not join the academy as a teacher Until they form life and death Camaraderie between them. If he joined now and told the rest of them, it will do more harm than good. Others agreed with him. Tang Chen also agreed, he told him to continue to raise the money as they were doing so and wait for the correct moment to enter the academy.

Tang Chen then went back to academy told Tang San and Xiao Wu about their parent's decision talked for a while then he left and started preparing dinner, he didn't know how many people were there, so he cooked for 25 people and arranged it to tables present in the dining room. It was a lavish dinner, soon the people began to come and seats were begun to fill. There were 13 people including him on the table. 5 teachers including their Dean and 8 students. Tang Chen finally saw fatty. Ma Hongjun introduced himself to new students and tried to flirt only to be knocked down. Everybody started eating and but astonished by taste and nutrient in food. 13 people ate food for 25 people and were satisfied. Tang Chen told the dean that he will cook all three times for free and using his ingredients if he allowed him to live alone in a house near the dining room, of course, he will pay rent. Flander agreed to it as it saved and earned him money at the same time, being the greedy person he is.

It was the main purpose of dinner as cooking helps him to relax. With this, he started to provide the foundation of their teamwork which he was sure to become renown in the future, plus he started to improve his soon to be team's bodies by slowly adding nutrients and Detoxifying their impurities little by little. He knew the flaw in the team and knew how it will be fixed. He just accelerated the progress.

The next day Flander summoned everybody after Tang Chen's breakfast and told them about academy graduation criteria and other things. He then told to gather in the evening, also told Oscar and Rongrong to run, Oscar shaved and looked handsome. He told Tang San to follow him and leave the rest alone Tang Chen happily meditated till noon the prepared the lunch and ate it then went to sleep till evening. Evening came Flander's summoning sound came to All children gathered there. Flander and Rongrong got in a heated argument, and he told her to leave if she cannot follow orders, she started crying there. Flander then took them to great fighting Colosseum to have their first class. It proved useless for Tang Chen, San and Xiao Wu they have the fighting experience, but they gained money and were happy about it. Tang Chen came outside to see Tang San was stopping Dai Mubai from attacking Rongrong and then Tang San and Oscar pointed out her mistakes and left her crying. He was inwardly happy as one problem was going to be solved. He went to her and Consoled her as she wasn't bad from the heart but her attitude was a problem. She was his favorite female character in the novel. He will try his best to court her but leave the rest to fate. He told her to apologize to Mubai and dean in the morning in front of everybody if she wants to have friends and comrades.

The next morning, Everybody was surprised by Rongrong's apologies and accepted it the atmosphere became normal but Oscar was missing. Tang Chen knew he will breakthrough today and tomorrow they will leave for great duo forest. Oscar appeared after sometimes. Flander told everybody about today lesson to eat Oscar's sausage when everybody seemed to have crept he told them about the importance of food spirit masters, their demand in the army and also to them forget about sausage from vulgar incantation they even had eaten disgusting things to survive if push came to shove. Everybody realized the logic behind and tried sausage it truly wasn't bad.

Flander told them to rest as they were going forest tomorrow for getting spirit rings. Tang Chen and Tang San were also excited as they were their first spirit hunting in the real forest. Xiao Wu decided to tell her brother's truth tomorrow before going to the forest.

Next-Day:

Tang Chen and Tang San was ready to go to the forest when Xiao Wu called them in private to talk about an important matter. They all went to Tang Chen's room as he leaves alone and near the kitchen instead of the dorm. Xiao Wu took some deep breaths as she told them about her being a 100,000-year-old beast transformed human. She was surprised to see her both brothers were chucking instead of getting angry. Tang Chen gently pat her head and told her they figured it out a long time ago. There were many hints on how she never entered to hunt beasts or how she was so skilled in her soft bone art since small. He even told her that he was trying a find a way so that titled douluo couldn't figure her out. Tang San just went and hugged her he also told her they were sons of plant beast hating and disdaining her was the same as doing these things to their mother. He also told them they weren't angry everybody has a secret. It's their choice, and their choice to reveal it or not, if reveal it when and to whom. They all exited his room ate the breakfast he prepared and were ready to leave.
