Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 73 The Temptation of Wu Lin

From the day Wu Changkong criticized everyone in Class Zero, the atmosphere in Class Zero began to become strange.

Zhang Yangzi fell silent, while Wang Jinxi became even more silent than usual.

The reason was that during a training session, the six members of Class Zero were fighting against Wu Changkong, but at the crucial moment, Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi were unable to unleash their Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

At first, the two were flustered, but after Wu Changkong's analysis, they finally discovered that Wang Jinxi's martial soul had undergone a benign mutation due to his training with Tang Wulin, which made it impossible for the two to use the martial soul fusion skill.

Zhang Yangzi and Tang Wulin!

Wang Jinxi must choose one of these two people. If he chooses Zhang Yangzi, then he must stay away from Tang Wulin.

Because Tang Wulin's strength is still very weak, the influence on his martial soul is not that great. As long as the distance is created, his martial soul will quickly return to its original state. Everything will return to its original state.

If he chooses Tang Wulin, his martial soul can continue to mutate, and his potential can be increased. The benefits for his future are obvious.

Torn between friendship and the future, Wang Jinxi was lost in confusion. Every day after school, he would immediately lock himself in his room and avoid contact with others.

However, Nan Fusheng knew that when Wang Jinxi did this, it meant that his choice had already shifted to a certain extent.

Two days passed quickly, and it was time for the second part of the final exam.

"Come with me, let's go to the second part of the final exam," Wu Changkong said calmly.

"Teacher Wu." Just then, Wang Jinxi stood up.

"Hmm?" Wu Changkong looked at him.

"Teacher Wu, I've made up my mind. I will give up the opportunity to cultivate with Tang Wulin," Wang Jinxi said calmly but firmly.

Zhang Yangzi also looked at him with some surprise, something in his eyes.

Wu Changkong looked at him. "Are you really sure about this?"

Wang Jinxi nodded seriously.

Nan Fusheng felt a mix of emotions as he watched this scene.

Unexpectedly, the "sudden arrival" route couldn't compete with the pure love story of "childhood sweethearts." No one can judge whether Wang Jinxi's choice is good or bad.

His choice of Zhang Yangzi demonstrates his unwavering resolve and inability to be swayed by personal gain. It's likely that after experiencing the temptations of Tang Wulin, the "other woman," his friendship and trust with Zhang Yangzi will increase dramatically.

From a realistic perspective, he was incredibly foolish! For a martial soul to mutate into a stronger form, especially a high-level martial soul like the Bone Dragon King, is extremely rare and highly sought after, yet he gave it up. He was completely gambling with his future.

Finally, Wang Jinxi turned his gaze to Nan Fusheng, Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie, took a deep breath as if gathering his courage, and said, "Also, Teacher Wu, thank you for your teaching this semester, and thank you to my partners as well."

"However, I'm sorry, I have to transfer schools. I'll be transferring with Yangzi and leaving this place. I can sense Wu Lin's bloodline aura too strongly. If I stay at the academy, I'll inevitably be influenced by him, no matter what. Not cultivating with him has been making me feel quite depressed these past two days, so I have no choice but to leave."

Nan Fusheng could clearly see that when Wang Jinxi said those words, Zhang Yangzi's eyes were filled with tears. These past few days, he had also been suffering greatly.

Without his partner in the Spirit Fusion Technique, he would become an ordinary Spirit Master. Whether his future cultivation speed could keep up was another matter, but the level of importance he would receive would also be greatly reduced. His family would become more loosely organized, and strength would be the most important factor in determining the family's status.

At this moment, Wang Jinxi's firm words finally dispelled all his worries.

"As for the contract with the academy, Ms. Wu, I'll have to trouble you. My father and I have discussed it, and my family will provide compensation to the academy for the resources that Yangzi and I have used this semester. I'm sorry."

He bowed deeply towards Wu Changkong, but what Tang Wulin saw was two small puddles of water on the ground as he bent over.

How could Wang Jinxi possibly want to leave this group? A semester of training together had not only forged friendships, but also a rare and precious tacit understanding between Soul Masters!

They were a unified whole, comrades who could rely on each other's backs. Now that they had to leave, how could he bear to part?

Just as Wang Jinxi himself said, he would always be influenced by Tang Wulin here. If he could cultivate with Tang Wulin, this influence would be mostly positive.

But after not cultivating together for the past two days, Wang Jinxi realized how deeply Tang Wulin had influenced him. The insomnia and inability to concentrate on meditation caused him profound pain. This decision was difficult and painful, but it was unavoidable.

Wu Changkong remained expressionless, but Nan Fusheng noticed a hint of sadness flashing deep in his eyes.

"Alright. Since you've made your decision, don't worry about anything else. I'll talk to the academy, and I'll also ask your families to handle this matter properly. Perhaps this is the right choice."

Wu Changkong's answer was simple: "So, are you still going to come with me to today's final exam?"

Wang Jinxi said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, Teacher Wu. Given Yangzi's and my current mood, I'm afraid we won't be able to take today's exam. Fusheng, Wulin, Xie Xie, Guyue, you guys have to do your best!"

Don't let us affect you; you're all the best. We'll meet again someday. Maybe then we'll become your challengers. We'll definitely get stronger and won't fall behind.

Upon hearing Wang Jinxi's words, Tang Wulin couldn't help but rush forward and hug him and Zhang Yangzi tightly. The three of them huddled together, sobbing uncontrollably.

Xie Xie, standing awkwardly to the side, looked at the three people hugging each other and said, "Couldn't you at least save me a seat?"

Xie Xie looked at Nan Fusheng, who waved his hand, indicating that he did not want to get involved in this farewell scene.

Looking at Gu Yue, Gu Yue looked at Xie Xie with disdain, indicating that she did not want to hug a crying boy.

"The exam will be tomorrow," Wu Changkong said, then strode out of the classroom.

Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi returned to their dormitory to pack their things and left. Tang Wulin didn't know what kind of agreement their families and the academy had reached. He only knew that Class Zero now only had the original four of them left.

On this day, Tang Wulin thought a lot, and his temperament suddenly changed from a sunny and cheerful boy to a melancholy boy.
