Chapter 42 - 42: Onwards To The Great Spirit Arena!

"So, which one of you idiots did it?!" A man said sharply with a cold and commanding voice.

He is a middle aged person. His face is very characteristic, chin somewhat prominent, cheek bones very wide, in addition a bit aquiline nose. He gives off a somewhat devious feeling. On his face is a set of black framed crystal glasses, frames with a kind of rigid squares. He has an average figure, but a little chubby.

He's the current dean of Shrek Academy, also known as the flying corner of the golden iron to, the money grubbing Flender.

Right now he was standing tall on the barren land, staring at his old and new students with a serious expression.

The sun had just set and every students in the academy were gathered around.

Oscar and Ning Rongrong had joined some time ago asking what that beam of light was. Which Tang San explained.

Everyone flinched and they turned to looked at each other.

A moment later they pointed at Xiao Yan.

'YOU TRAITORS!' Xiao Yan inwardly yelled.

Taking a deep breath, he took a step forward.

"It was me dean."

Flender raised an eyebrow, staring at the calm and indifferent face of Xiao Yan.

"So it was you huh...? Then let me ask you, why did you do it?"

Without any hesitation, Xiao Yan replied with a straight face.

"Because it felt good."

Everyone except Flender face faulted. They all stared at Xiao Yan with their jaws down and eyes widened from shock.

'It felt good?! What is that? An innuendo or something?'

"I see..." Flender calmly stated as he pinched the bridge of his glasses. A strange light seem to obscure the man's eyes.

"Can you tell me, how it felt good?" Everyone except Xiao Yan turned towards their dean with shock and dumbfounded filled eyes.

'Dean what the f.u.c.k?!'

Xiao Yan nodded and said.

"Of course dean. It's like **** and **** it was not only that, it also ****" Everyone's faces, except Flender, instantly turned red as a tomato. If this were a anime, there would have been steam coming out of their ears.

Heck, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun and Oscar are also affected. Whatever Xiao Yan had spewed out of his mouth must have been something so indecent that it made these very experience men red as a v.i.r.g.i.n. While the girls and Tang San looked as if they were about to faint.

Their nightmare, however, didn't end there.

"I see. So it's like ***** and *****? Hm, is it also ****?" Flender calmly said.

Xiao Yan nodded eagerly and they both continued on their conversation of, ahem, things. While the others looked on like they were about to die.

'Please, stop...'

"Alright Xiao Yan, I think that's enough. The children looks like they're about to explode and die from blood loss."

They nodded like chickens and their eyes was desperate and begging.

Xiao Yan curved a smile and let out a sigh.

"Alright. To be honest that earlier performance was me testing out my second spirit."

Flender raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? A second spirit you say? You have Twin Spirits?"

Xiao Yan shook his head and said.

"It's sorta like that but sorta not. This second spirit of mine was awakened just recently, a late bloomer I think, and there is something different about it than any normal spirits." Xiao Yan explained his second spirit like what he explained to his friends.

Flender looked shocked for a moment before looking down in deep thought, rubbing his chin, and turned to look at Xiao Yan and said.

"I think it would be good if you check your spirit with grandmaster. I don't know anyone more knowledgeable about spirits than him." Xiao Yan nodded in understanding, though he doesn't have to go to him as he was certain that grandmaster would come here in the academy himself later on, if the story still continues as it was in canon.

Nodding, Flender turned to the others who had twitching expressions like they wanted to punch someone but couldn't.

Flender set his eyes on a certain pair of auxiliary system spirit masters.

"Oscar, Ning Rongrong, have you both finished the task I gave you?" In that moment, Xiao Yan moved to Xun Er's side with a sigh of relief, ignoring the glares that was digging through him.

That earlier conversation with Flender was something he didn't expect. He just wanted to messed around to buy enough time to recover both his spirit power and vigor, he didn't expect that the dean would play along as well.

Why would he want to recover his spirit power and vigor you might ask? Well that's because tonight, Flender would have sent his students in the Great Spirit Arena!

It is a place where you spar, fight to the death, and gamble! Aka, Rome! Though instead of lions and gladiators, you would fight a mix of them and more!

It is the perfect place where Xiao Yan would temper himself and gather combat experiences. Although he would slowly have the experiences and memories of his past life, it was slow and useless with his current self.

After all, Flame Emperor had said that in his entire lifetime he only used a heavy ruler to smash and flattened his enemies to death. Although he had some small experiences with a sword, but even then it was just noob level where you slash and thrust.

So Xiao Yan's goal right now was to go to the great spirit arena to gather some experience in real combat with only his sword and later on find someone to further help him in the way of the sword.

'I would probably also try to find out if I can dish out Sword Qi, Sword Will, Sword Intent, and Sword Domain that I have read in novels and fanfictions.' Xiao Yan thought with a excited grin.

He couldn't wait to test his hands in the great spirit arena. As there was another reason he wanted to go there.

Money.

Right now, with the pills and other stuff he sold all these years had net him 350,000 spirit gold coins worth currently. And right now that's slowly vanishing.

He purchased some materials that he needed for his alchemy and other stuff for himself. And those things were expensive as hell!

So he would go and bet everything that he currently have in his storage ring, 40k spirit gold coins, which was once 50k but some stuff came up, he would have added more but that would attract the wrong type of people.

Watching as Ning Rongrong ran out to her dormitory in tears, although Xiao Yan felt pity for the girl but this is essential for her growth, from a bitch to one of the best girls in the series, so he ignored her and turned towards the dean.

"Follow me." Flender shook his head and simply said. Before turning around and jumper away in a burst of speed.

Turning to the others, who looked at each other as well, Xiao Yan smiled and used his instant movement technique to follow the dean.

The others nodded and followed after to catch up.

Several kilometers away from the students, a boisterous laugh permeated throughout the night sky.

"Hahahahaha!" Two cloaked persons stood besides each other, one was cloaked black and laughing while the other cloaked white was sighing in resignation.

"That stupid grandson of mine..." The one white cloaked in white clicked his teeth before letting out a long sigh.

"Hahahahahaha!! Who would thought that he would be that indecent and shameless! Truly, he is related to you Ice Fire Saint Douluo Yao Lao." The one cloaked in black continued to laugh as he turned towards the one cloaked in white.

Yao Lao snorted and shook his head. Pulling back the hood of his cloak to reveal his face.

"Hmph! He still has a long way to go to the art of shamelessness, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao." The other cloaked person pulled down his hood to reveal the face of a amused Tang Hao.

He shook his head, before he and Yao Lao turned back to watched as they saw the children following Flender towards Suotuo City.

Tang Hao opened his mouth and asked.

"So, why are you here? I thought you were supposed to be taking care of the war between the Falling Star Pavilion and the triangle alliance of the Wind Lightning Pavilion, Profound Sky Sect, and the Hall of Souls? Aren't you worried your sect would fall?"

"Don't worry, due to the help of my friend, my sect has made some alliance with others as well. So the war has been put into a hold. Also, I was just helping out a friend to get his 6th spirit ring and since I'm already here, I thought to stop by and checked on my grandson why I'm at it." Tang Hao hummed in understanding and asked.

"May I ask who's your friend that you're helping to get his 6th spirit ring?"

A mysterious smile appeared on his face.

"Well, that would ruin the surprise now wouldn't it? Though I could tell you about his new spirit ring, its quite surprising actually." Tang Hao raised an eyebrow in question, curiosity in his eyes.

"Surprising? How so?"

A wide beaming smile appeared on Yao Lao's face.

"His 6th spirit ring, is the color of blood."
