Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 29 Wandering the World with a Gun

It took Ye Liangchen a few minutes to fly to the top of the thousand-meter-high mountain behind Tianshui Academy. Looking out at the distant mountains and rivers, he felt as if he had the whole country at his feet.

"Wow..."

With an excited shout, Ye Liangchen flapped his golden external soul bone wings and flew towards the main urban area of ​​Tianshui.

Ten minutes later, Ye Liangchen landed in a secluded valley on the outskirts of Tianshui City, and then walked briskly down the official road.

Walking on the official road and watching the farmers working hard in the fields, Ye Liangchen finally experienced what it truly felt like to be in the world. Over the years, he had been hiding in Tianshui Academy and was almost becoming a true recluse.

The simple, honest people, seeing Ye Liangchen's handsome and dashing demeanor and his powerful stride, thought that this young man must be a Soul Master, and their faces showed longing.

"Mom and Dad, after I awaken my martial soul, I want to become a Soul Master just like that older brother."

Some children who had come to work in the fields with their parents cheered and waved their arms in the field as they watched Ye Liangchen walk briskly.

"Good child, you will definitely become a Soul Master in the future."

The child's parents said some encouraging words, but they also knew in their hearts that it was impossible for an ordinary person to become a Soul Master without Soul Power.

It was early morning, and some farmers were driving horse-drawn carts, carrying fruits and vegetables, heading to the city to try and get a good price.

Ye Liangchen enjoyed the atmosphere of everyday life and felt quite good. Before long, he arrived at the center of Tianshui City. Ye Liangchen bought some necessities for wilderness survival, as well as some flint, salt, seasonings, rice, and a pot to cook in the mountains later.

After throwing all these things into the soul tool, Ye Liangchen quickly headed south towards Tianshui City.

……

"Click..."

"Awesome! No wonder it's the king of PUBG, the accuracy and range are perfect."

Around noon, Ye Liangchen was running quickly through a forest, constantly practicing his shooting skills. After all, in his previous life he had only played live-action CS shooting, but those weapons and equipment were all fake. Now that he had real stuff, he naturally had to practice.

"Gurgle..."

Just then, Ye Liangchen's stomach growled, reminding him that he needed to replenish his energy.

"I was so engrossed in practicing all morning that I forgot to eat."

Ye Liangchen found a small river, built a simple stove with stones, drew some water from the river, took out an iron pot, and started a fire to cook.

As the saying goes, "those who live near mountains live off the mountains, and those who live near water live off the water." These forests, rich in natural resources, are simply a paradise for foodies.

Ye Liangchen caught a few more fish from the river, cleaned them, heated oil in a wok, and soon a pot of fragrant boiled fish was ready.

"The river water in this other world is unpolluted, and the fish tastes amazing."

After a delicious meal, Ye Liangchen jumped up a 50-meter-tall tree, took out his binoculars, and checked the situation in the distance.

Suddenly, a thousand meters away, they saw a small mountain village with a dozen or so households being robbed by a dozen masked bandits wielding knives.

"In this cruel alien world, the lives of ordinary people are truly miserable."

Ye Liangchen activated his external soul bone and quickly flew towards the small mountain village. Since he had come across it, he couldn't just stand by and watch those people suffer.

Five hundred meters away from the small mountain village, Ye Liangchen stopped, quietly lay down on a flat rock, took out the King of Chicken, placed it on the rock, and observed the situation in the village through the scope.

"Waaaaah...!"

"My lords, please, spare us!"

The small mountain village was in a mess, filled with the cries of children and women. A dozen masked bandits were robbing the villagers of their belongings. Several young women were being held captive by three bandits, and several elderly people were being beaten to the ground.

"Let go of my daughter."

Three peasants, wielding long sticks, angrily confronted the three bandits.

"act recklessly."

The three bandits brandished their long knives and slashed at the three men.

"Pfft..."

Just then, the first bandit to strike collapsed to the ground, dead, with a wound on his chest that went straight through to his back, from which blood flowed continuously.

"Brother Leopard..."

"Who killed Brother Leopard?"

The sudden turn of events startled the remaining two bandits, and even the bandits who were plundering the villagers' money immediately ran out.

Ye Liangchen, who was 500 meters away, saw all the bandits come out. After calming himself down, he quickly pulled the trigger.

"How did Brother Leopard die?"

"Pfft... Pfft..."

Suddenly, before the other two thugs holding the woman could react, they also lay down stiffly, lifeless, just like Brother Leopard before them.

"Ah ah..."

The rescued women screamed, their legs going weak with fear.

"Daughter, it's alright now."

Three middle-aged men immediately ran over and pulled their daughter away.

"Brother Leopard is dead, Brother Tiger is dead, Brother Dog is dead too."

"Who killed them?"

The remaining bandits were dumbfounded, their whole bodies going numb from the bizarre scene.

The villagers watched all this from a distance in horror, but at this moment they were in high spirits, finally seeing the wicked get their comeuppance.

"Pfft... pfft... pfft... pfft..."

Just as the remaining bandits were in a state of panic, they collapsed one after another as if struck hard by something, and then died.

"Those evil people have been taken away by God."

"Waaaaah..."

The rescued women, seeing that all the bandits were dead, hugged each other and cried. The feeling of surviving such a disaster was terrifying.

"You're unlucky to have run into me."

Ye Liangchen reloaded the HK416 with ammunition and then quietly flew away without disturbing the farmers in the small mountain village.

When I went to the clothes, I learned the name and the name.

It was Ye Liangchen's first time doing something like fighting crime and maintaining order, and he was a little unaccustomed to it. He even felt nauseous for a while after dealing with the first bandit, but it was worth it to save the people in the village.

"Oh! The bad guys have been taken care of by God."

After the villagers were rescued, many cheered and knelt down to the sky, thankful that they had escaped a calamity.

"Don't make a fuss, bury these wicked people first."

Soon, several elders came out, suppressed the crowd's excitement, and told the villagers to bury the bandits to prevent the authorities from finding out and causing unnecessary trouble.

……

Ye Liangchen never expected that this training trip would turn him into a Zorro hero, but the feeling was not bad.

As evening fell, Ye Liangchen roasted a wild rabbit, enjoyed a delicious meal, and then found a dry little cave to spend the night there.

Ye Liangchen first sprinkled some insect repellent and snake medicine powder outside the cave entrance, and then moved several large stones to block the entrance.

"Click..."

I clipped two Glock 21s to my waist and unlocked the safety, just in case.

"I'm exhausted after practicing shooting all day."

Ye Liangchen muttered to himself, then lay down on the spread-out quilt and began to rest.

Having mastered shooting skills, Ye Liangchen now needed to plan his itinerary.

Tang San and Xiao Wu have graduated from the Notting City Junior Soul Master School. They are currently in Holy Soul Village, where they are lovingly working on their blacksmithing, while Tang Dachui is hiding beside them.

All the academies on the mainland haven't started their semesters yet, so going to Holy Soul Village now would be too dangerous.

Although Ye Liangchen now has the MK22 and can deal with that killing god, he doesn't want to use this trump card against Tang Dachui for the time being. He'll wait until that guy shows off in front of the whole world before taking action to bring him down from his pedestal.

"Tang Dachui, Tang Dachui, are you ready? This is quite a generous gift. Hehehehe..."

Thinking about these things, Ye Liangchen's lips curled into a smile, and he felt great, gradually falling into a deep sleep.

……

Three days later, Ye Liangchen arrived in Soto City of the Barak Kingdom, intending to try his luck and see if he could encounter the quiet little cat.

Arriving in the luxurious city of Soto, Ye Liangchen naturally had to stay at the best Rose Hotel. As soon as he entered the luxurious hotel lobby, a young hotel staff member immediately came to greet him.

Welcome!

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

The waitress was a young woman. Seeing that Ye Liangchen was dressed in gorgeous clothes, was very handsome, and had an extraordinary temperament, she knew he was definitely a rich man. The hotel would treat such a guest like royalty.

"Book a hotel, get the best room."

Ye Liangchen's soul tool was filled with tens of thousands of gold soul coins by Lan Xiaodie, so he was not short of money at all and could spend it as he pleased.

"Okay, sir, please come this way to register."

The waiter led Ye Liangchen to the hotel lobby counter, registered him, and gave him a room card and key.

"Handsome, welcome to our most luxurious room. Our Rose Hotel will provide you with a complete service to ensure your satisfaction."

The lobby manager who registered Ye Liangchen's room number was a young man wearing glasses. Seeing that Ye Liangchen was generous, he introduced the hotel's all-inclusive services and gave Ye Liangchen a knowing look.

"Manager, something's not right! Hurry up and register me. All I need is to eat and sleep. I don't need any other services."

After throwing down 100 gold soul coins, Ye Liangchen urged the other party to get to work quickly. Watching this guy enthusiastically introduce various services to him, he felt like a million grass mud horses were running through his mind.

"Okay! Handsome, thank you for coming, have a pleasant stay."

"Xiao He, take this handsome guy to the top-floor luxury room."

After accepting 100 gold soul coins, the lobby manager quickly instructed a pretty young woman to lead Ye Liangchen upstairs.

After watching Ye Liangchen walk upstairs, the lobby manager sighed, "This handsome young man has really good taste; he doesn't even appreciate the free services offered by the hotel."

Just then, a handsome blond man walked into the hotel lobby with two young women who looked exactly alike.

"Manager Wang, is my Red Ocean room still available?" The blond man called out to the lobby manager as soon as he entered the lobby.

"Young Master Dai, you've arrived. Your Red Ocean room is always available. Have a great time."

Manager Wang chuckled and handed the keys to the blond man named Dai Shao.

"Thank you, Manager Wang."

"Sweetie, let's go upstairs."

The blond hunk tossed Manager Wang a bag of gold soul coins, then led the two women toward the red ocean on the second floor.

Just as the three blond handsome men walked up to the second floor, they happened to run into Ye Liangchen, who was coming down from the top floor.

Holy crap! Isn't that Dai Mubai?

When Ye Liangchen saw this guy, he was stunned for a moment, but when he saw that there were two women who looked exactly the same next to him, he was not surprised.

"Dude, you know how to enjoy yourself!"

Ye Liangchen greeted Dai Mubai, figuring that since he was now disguised with his real face, Dai Mubai wouldn't recognize him anyway.

Dai Mubai's soul power has now reached level 37, but he is completely exhausted.

"Brother, when life is good, you should enjoy it to the fullest; you should enjoy it while you can."

Dai Mubai chuckled and said, looking at the handsome man with excellent temperament in front of him, who was staying in the most luxurious top-floor room, he was certain that the other party was no ordinary person.

"Okay! Have fun!"

After Ye Liangchen finished speaking, he strode down the stairs with a powerful and confident stride.

"Young Master Dai, do you know that distinguished young man?"

As the two women watched Ye Liangchen's departing figure, they couldn't help but compare Dai Mubai with that handsome man.

"I don't know him, but he's definitely a master."

From the faint aura emanating from Ye Liangchen, Dai Mubai determined that the other party's strength was definitely greater than his own.

The little incident didn't bring Ye Liangchen any further surprises. After enjoying a delicious meal at the hotel restaurant, he decided to go to the southern outskirts of Soto City to take a look at Shrek Academy.

After several twists and turns, Ye Liangchen arrived at a grove of trees about a kilometer away from the entrance of Shrek Academy. He then took out his binoculars and observed the dilapidated academy.

There was a very old wooden gate covered in moss. There was a wooden sign with a picture of Shrek, a greenish-brown monster, and the words "Shrek Academy".

The academy was located in a village, and the grounds were quite spacious. In the center of the playground stood a large flag with a picture of Shrek on it, and there were several old tile-roofed houses in a row.

On the balcony of a small wooden building, Zhao Wuji, Li Yusong, Lu Qibing, and Master Tangdou were drinking tea and chatting, but Flander the four-eyed owl was nowhere to be seen.

In the small mountain village behind the school, a red-haired fat man was talking to an ordinary short-haired woman. It looked like Ma Hongjun and the village girl Cuihua.

Oscar, with a gray beard, was wearing an apron and making sausages, then skewering them with bamboo sticks and placing them on a small cart.

Just then, Oscar pushed his cart out of the college gate, moved it to the roadside some distance away, and began hawking sausages.

"Come on over, take a look! Delicious and cheap sausages!"

"Each one costs only five copper soul coins."

Soto City is a large city with a large flow of people every day. The sausages that Oscar sells are made by his martial soul, so they are of high quality. In addition, many people around the academy know him, so soon people came to buy them, and business was pretty good.

However, Oscar's soul power is only level 29, which can't supply many souls each day, but it's enough for him to live on despite his poverty.

Ye Liangchen watched all of this quietly, feeling like a soldier in an ambush.

Putting away his binoculars, Ye Liangchen put on some ordinary clothes, disguised himself as an ordinary teenager, and then walked towards Oscar to ask him about Shrek Academy's enrollment schedule, so he could make some time arrangements.

"Fragrant sausages, cheap and delicious, don't miss them when you pass by."

When Ye Liangchen arrived at Oscar's booth, he couldn't help but laugh when he saw the guy dressed as a chef and his full beard.

As expected of Sausage Uncle! Oscar looks even older than an uncle right now.

"Sausage Uncle, have a sausage, please." Ye Liangchen walked up to Oscar's car and tossed him 10 Silver Soul Coins.

"We don't need that many, just five copper soul coins will suffice."

"Hey bro, don't call me Uncle Sausage, I'm only 14 years old!"

Oscar smiled and gave Ye Liangchen his change, adding that he was just a teenager.

"Huh? 14 years old? I think you're 40, Sausage Uncle." Ye Liangchen pretended to be very surprised.

"Hahaha...! Young man, you're from out of town, aren't you!"

"Don't let his age fool you, he's only 14 years old, and he's a student at Shrek Academy! His name is Oscar."

An elderly man who had just bought sausages for his grandson explained Oscar's identity to Ye Liangchen.

"Yes! Bro, I really am only 14 years old, and I'm still a student at Shrek Academy."

Oscar hates it when people say he's old, so he immediately tells Ye Liangchen who he is.

"Ha...! Sorry, but your gray beard is really strange, you look like a 40-year-old man."

Oscar hasn't met his ideal woman, Ning Rongrong, yet, so he doesn't care much about his image. He doesn't shave his thick gray beard. Actually, he's quite handsome; if he dressed up, he'd be about the same size as Dai Mubai.

"Hehe...! It's okay, I'm used to it." Oscar chuckled and quickly handed the grilled sausage to Ye Liangchen.

Ye Liangchen casually took out a bag and put the sausage away. He didn't eat it for the time being. Just thinking about the lewd incantation that this guy used to make the martial soul made him unable to eat it.

"What is Shrek Academy?" Ye Liangchen asked curiously.

"Shrek Academy is a school in a small village far away. The headmaster is Flander, and they call themselves the Monster Academy..."

"Brother, I can see you're a Soul Master too! There are still more than 20 days until Shrek Academy's enrollment period. However, the admission requirements are quite high. You can apply when the time comes."

The elderly man with his grandson was a villager from near the academy. He knew something about Shrek Academy, so he started telling Ye Liangchen about the academy.

"Thank you, sir." Ye Liangchen thanked the old man, then took out the sausages he had bought earlier and handed them to the old man's grandson.

"Hey! Brother, you don't look very old. If you're strong enough, you can sign up. Life at our academy is pretty good. We can train together then."

Oscar also gave Shrek a thumbs down, feeling that Ye Liangchen should be able to meet the admission requirements.

Among the Shrek Seven Devils, Oscar has a pretty good moral compass, at least much better than people like Fatty Ma and Dai Mubai.

"Thanks, we'll talk later."

Having learned the start date of Shrek Academy, Ye Liangchen returned to the Rose Hotel, preparing to head to Fasno Province.
