Douluo: Rebirth of Yu Hao, never die in Shura Field

Chapter 95: Shrek's Reality? Zhang Lexuan's Confusion

Not many people knew about Zhang Lexuan's departure.

She simply said goodbye to Mr. Mu and then went straight to the Spirit Transmission Tower.

Standing in front of the Spirit Transferring Tower, Zhang Lexuan paused for a moment, looking at this tall tower that was entirely black, and unconsciously felt a little unnatural in her heart.

This is a kind of unnatural feeling after a change of identity.

She used to be a member of Shrek, and now, she came to the Spirit Pagoda.

The feeling of helplessness brought about by the change of identity is stronger than imagined.

"Master Sister!?"

Suddenly, a surprised voice was heard.

Zhang Lexuan looked and saw a figure walking towards her quickly.

"Lin Le?"

"Well, long time no see, Senior Sister!" Lin Le responded with a smile.

Zhang Lexuan paused for a moment, but suddenly realized something and asked hesitantly:
"your hands"

"My hand?" Lin Le blinked and followed Zhang Lexuan's gaze to look at his own hand covered with a black glove.

“Oh, this, this is the soul guide arm that the tower master customized for me. It can connect to soul power and even imitate the operation of my own meridians, making my cultivation speed no different from before.

"Except for the fact that it's not flesh and blood, it's almost exactly the same arm that I once had."

Lin Le took off his gloves, revealing his silver-gray arms with a metallic luster.

For him, the loss of his arm was almost equivalent to cutting off his future path of cultivation, but after joining the Spirit Transferring Tower, his future was remedied.

It can be said to be a blessing in disguise.

Zhang Lexuan looked at Lin Le, and after feeling the joy on Lin Le's face that was not false at all, she became inexplicably silent.

"But, Senior Sister, why are you here at the Spiritual Transmission Tower?"

Lin Le got back to the point.

Zhang Lexuan was silent again, and after a pause, she said, "I am here to join the Spirit Pagoda."

“Join the Spirit Pagoda!?” Lin Le’s tone was obviously happier, and at the same time, a hint of vigilance was also lowered a little.

"Yes." Zhang Lexuan nodded.

"That's great, Senior Sister. Sister Min Yue misses you too! Maybe we can get together then."

Lin Le signaled with his eyes to the staff in the Spiritual Pagoda Security Department uniform not far away, and then looked at Zhang Lexuan again:
"Let's go, Senior Sister. I'll take you directly to the Tower Master's office. The Tower Master has already said hello."

Lin Le led the way, and the two entered the Spirit Pagoda together. As they walked, Lin Le spoke very familiarly about some matters that needed attention in the Spirit Pagoda, with an indescribable meaning in his tone.

".Sister Min Yue can stand up now, and is now the leader of the third group of the Spiritual Pagoda's medical department.

"I'm currently assisting with research related to life energy. It's said to be related to the regeneration of severed limbs. Maybe after a while, my hand will be able to return to its original state."

Lin Le kept talking. He was a chatterbox when he was in the inner courtyard, and he was still the same now. However, Zhang Lexuan heard some emotions in Lin Le's words that she had never heard in the inner courtyard of Shrek.

That sense of pride and identity is slightly different from the feeling he had when he once shouted "The glory of Shrek". This kind of pride and identity is purer and more real.

"Lin Le." Zhang Lexuan said hesitantly.

"What's wrong, Senior Sister?"

Lin Le smiled and looked back at Zhang Lexuan.

"Do you really think that the Spirit Pagoda is better than Shrek Academy?"

Lin Le's expression paused for a moment, and then his smile gradually faded away. He sighed softly, and then spoke calmly:

“Although I am not a civilian soul master, my parents are both soul masters. If I hadn’t been lucky, had my martial soul mutated, and had an innate eighth-level soul power, I would not have been able to enter Shrek Academy.

“Similarly, if it weren’t for the academy, my spirit ring configuration would definitely not be the best one, and the spirit skills I got would still be adapted to my own needs. After all, I don’t have the money to hire someone to hunt spirit rings for me.

“I am very grateful for Shrek’s training, so after joining the Inner Academy, I also actively completed the commissions, hoping to repay the academy in this way.

"I have a clear conscience towards the college!"

Lin Le's voice suddenly rose a little, but he quickly realized his mistake. After calming down a little, he continued:

“But what about the academy to me?
"Being crippled means my future is cut off. I had full confidence in the academy, thinking that it would give us a good arrangement, at least some compensation, so that I would not have any worries for the rest of my life.

"But the actual situation is that the teacher who came to handle the matter threatened us with expulsion and asked us to kneel down in public at the Poseidon Pavilion meeting to apologize to Master Xuan in order to retain Master Xuan and admit that the fault was ours, not Master Xuan's."

"What. How could it be?" Zhang Lexuan's pupils trembled slightly, and she wanted to question, but looking at Lin Le's expression, she couldn't say a word.

"Oh, it seems that Senior Sister doesn't know."

"You agreed?"

"What else?" Lin Le asked, "Senior Sister, I have parents, and a younger sister who just turned six.

"Sister Min Yue could have directly refused, or even yelled at the teacher, because Sister Min Yue's grandfather is Elder Zhuang, who is also one of the elders of Poseidon Pavilion, so Sister Min Yue has the right to decide her own life.

"But I can't do that. I don't have any so-called background. All I have is myself. My so-called dignity is not as important as my parents and sister. I can't let them be implicated.

"Big sister, as someone adopted by Elder Mu, you have been different from us from the beginning. And I can't see the hope I want in Shrek."

Lin Le spoke one sentence after another, and every sentence was destroying Zhang Lexuan's beautiful perception of Shrek.

If the incident with Xuan Zi and the subsequent treatment of Xuan Zi created a crack in Zhang Lexuan's beautiful fantasy about Shrek.

Now, Lin Le's words made the crack expand wildly, revealing the dirty reality beneath the beautiful fantasy.

Pausing, Lin Le brought Zhang Lexuan to a door, turned around, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down little by little:

"I think I have answered your first question, Senior Sister. The Spirit Pagoda is indeed better than the academy. As for why."

Lin Le raised his soul-guided prosthetic limb and said calmly, "At least, the Spirit Pagoda has made me truly feel what hope is."

Zhang Lexuan's heart was shocked, and she couldn't utter a word for a moment.

Lin Le sighed, shook his head slightly, and then looked at Zhang Lexuan: "This is the Tower Master's office, you can go in directly, I hope I can become a colleague with you."

Lin Le smiled, then turned and left.

Zhang Lexuan stayed where she was, looking at Lin Le's receding back and the door in front of her, and fell into deep confusion.
