"I do not know."
Flanders sighed:
"Although I know you don't want to think about the past, I still can't help but say that the life we spent together back then is something I will never forget."
"That period of my life was the happiest time of my life. If only I could have continued to live that carefree life forever!"
Hearing Flander's words, the master's eyes seemed to hold something more. He lowered his head and said calmly:
People grow old and mature. What's the point of bringing up the past when it's already gone? It's easy to say "life is like the first time we met," but can it really be achieved?
Flanders sighed and shook his head:
"Xiaogang, your personality is just too stubborn. If you were willing to soften a bit, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way. Can't you really accept her? After all, it wasn't her fault. Besides, do you really care that much about what society thinks?"
"Shut up."
The master suddenly became agitated, letting out a sharp shout as he stared intently at Flander:
"Don't mention her in front of me again. And you? What are you doing? So many years have passed, why aren't you with her? Don't tell me you don't like her. If that's the case, why are you still single and still sticking with Shrek Academy? It was just a joke she made back then."
Flanders' gaze gradually turned cold:
"Xiaogang, you're still so stubborn, nothing's changed after all these years. Yes, I admit, I like her. But she truly likes you. One shouldn't steal another's love, especially since you've always been my best brother. I can't forget her, but I will never do anything to her. All I want are the memories. Isn't it good to be free like this now?"
The master suddenly stood up from his seat:
"Freedom? What a load of bull! What I wanted was the happiness you brought her. I never imagined that after all these years, when I see you again, you would tell me that all you want are memories. If I had the power, I would kill you right now."
Flander sighed. "Xiao Gang, don't get agitated. I know you chose to leave for the sake of the three of us. For years, you've remained silent, not wanting to disturb our lives. But she only loves you, despite your relationship with her. We've all loved before. Do you expect me to force her, to force her to do things she doesn't want to do? Perhaps she would agree, but she would never be happy. All these years, I've been looking for you, and so has she. Before she left, I told her I would always be her older brother, and I would always be willing to be her older brother. She has never forgotten you, nor has she given up on her sincere feelings. Can't you just…?"
The master laughed, but the smile on his stiff face was chilling. "Her and I, is it possible? If it were possible, would I have waited until now? If it weren't for that special relationship between us, do you think I would have given her to you? I wouldn't. I can disregard the world's opinions, but I can't let her suffer with me. Flander, if you still consider me a brother, don't tell her about me, otherwise, I will leave immediately and never see you again."
Flanders seemed to be angry too, "Then can you bear to watch her search for you in vain, to watch her live a lonely life?"
The master's gaze became somewhat vacant. "Twenty years, a full twenty years. It's all too late now. All I hope to do now is nurture my mistress into a capable woman; I dare not hope for anything more in terms of love. After leaving like that, do you really think she would forgive me? In my life, I've never been afraid of anything, but now I'm truly afraid. I'm afraid to face her. To be honest, when I came to see you this time and didn't see her by your side, I felt a little secretly pleased. But when I came to my senses, I found only emptiness inside. I owe her something I can never repay. I don't have the courage to face her."
“You…” Flander stared at the master, unable to utter a word for a long time. “Forget it, these are all your own business. I won’t tell her about your appearance. But if she finds you one day, Xiao Gang, listen to me, don’t run away anymore. If you still consider me a brother.”
The master did not agree, but Flanders noticed that his eyes were already red. He understood the master's pain and did not say anything more.
"Have you gone home?" Flanders changed the subject.
The master shook his head. "I no longer have a home."
Flanders sighed, "That's your home after all. Even though they don't welcome you. But..."
The master waved his hand, signaling Flander to stop talking. "Even if I were to go back, I wouldn't go back like this. I won't let those people laugh at me until I've proven myself."
A smile suddenly appeared on Flander's face. "It seems you really have put all your attention on your mistress. You know, Wuji even got beaten up because of her."
The master smiled, but this time his smile was no longer cold. "Although I don't know, I can guess. That person is not someone you can afford to offend."
"You know?" Flander was startled, and his gaze toward the master suddenly became somewhat strange.
The master took out a token from his pocket and threw it to Flander, whose eyes were immediately filled with a clear mark.
“This is what he gave me. Flander, you know, what you see in Xiao San now is not all of him. His true potential is far from being discovered. Do you really think his martial soul is just Blue Silver Grass? If so, how could he have become my brother?”
Flander was startled. "Could it be that his martial soul is also mutated?"
The master shook his head. "No, it's not a mutation, it's just twins."
"what?"
Chapter 274 The Flame of Life!
. . . . . . . .
Inside the cave.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
After absorbing a 700,000-year soul ring and successfully advancing to a seven-ring Soul Saint, several lines of pale gold characters slowly appeared before Ye Dongxuan's eyes.
[By absorbing a 700,000-year-old spirit ring, the host can gain two spirit skills, or fuse these two spirit skills into a completely new spirit skill.]
[Option 1: Obtain two Soul Skills?]
[Option Two: Fuse two Soul Skills to form a completely new Soul Skill?]
The moment these two options appeared before Ye Dongxuan, he made his decision immediately.
"Choose to fuse two soul skills to form a brand new soul skill!"
As Ye Dongxuan's thoughts turned, the next second, a message about a brand-new soul skill flowed out from the endless void.
This information, like a surging tide, poured wildly into Ye Dongxuan's mind.
[Yan Ling Ji's seventh soul skill: Ranked fifth on the "Battle Through the Heavens" Different Flame Ranking - Flame of Life!]
[The Flame of Life, a liquid-like green flame, swelled in the wind, spreading like a green liquid sea of fire. Layers of mist rose from within this mist, and amidst it, countless strange medicinal herbs slowly grew, emanating a moving aura of life.]
This strange fire is extremely peculiar, because most strange fires, although different in form, are ultimately flames permeated with destructive power.
However, this Flame of Life does not display great destructive power; what makes it famous is the life force it exudes.
It is said that this strange fire, once spread, will cause any medicinal seeds placed within it to germinate and grow rapidly. In other words, with this strange fire, there's basically no need to worry about searching for medicinal herbs.
[As long as you have enough seeds, you can obtain the medicinal herbs you want indefinitely; it's truly a magical flame.]
Moreover, this Flame of Life is also known as the Flame of Longevity. Those who obtain it will have a lifespan that rivals even the longest-lived magical beasts, granting them millions of years of lifespan.
[This Flame of Life, if it were to take shape, would possess an exceptionally high level of intelligence. Normally, it wouldn't appear in the form of fire, but would transform into various medicinal herbs, quietly taking root in the soil. Sometimes, even if someone walks right past it, they wouldn't be able to recognize it.]
Only those with extraordinary luck can be fortunate enough to find it among them.
As these few lines of pale gold text came into Ye Dongxuan's eyes, a feeling of ecstasy rose from the depths of his heart.
This time, by adding a soul ring to Yan Lingji's martial soul, he actually obtained the Flame of Life!
It's worth noting that the new Soul Skill, Flame of Life, that was acquired this time is ranked among the top five most powerful flames on the Different Flame Ranking in "Battle Through the Heavens".
Even across all the myriad realms and the vast universe, the Flame of Life is an extremely powerful and defying-the-heaven flame.
. . . . . . . .
Early the next morning, Tang San, as usual, climbed onto the roof to cultivate his Purple Demon Eye and breathe in the purple aura brought by the rising sun.
The sky was clear, and I watched the orange-yellow orb rising slowly, and the distant sky painted golden.
Tang San slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, his eyes filled with purple light, and his spirit and energy reached their peak almost simultaneously.
He knew he had improved again. Only now, after returning from the Star Dou Great Forest, had he fully recovered his original strength.
Although I have to get up early every day to cultivate, the actual cultivation time is not long. The purple aura that appears in the east with the rising sun can only last for a very short time.
It was time for breakfast, so Tang San got off the roof and went straight to the cafeteria.
Before even entering the cafeteria, Tang San could smell a mouthwatering aroma. The rich smell of meat was extremely tempting, and there seemed to be some other flavors mixed in with it.
Upon entering the cafeteria, Tang San was immediately struck by the scene before him. He was definitely one of the earliest students to arrive, yet there was already a busy figure inside.
He kept an eye on the pot on the fire, controlling the heat, and busily preparing various foods. He wore a white chef's hat, and a few beads of sweat clung to his stiff face. He was none other than a master chef.
He was actually making breakfast for everyone himself.
"Teacher, what brings you to Shrek Academy?"
Tang San stepped into the cafeteria.
The master looked up and saw Tang San. A gentle smile immediately appeared on his face. "I was a little worried about you, so I came to Shrek Academy to see you."
Tang San quickly walked to the side, washed his hands, and then came to the master's side, saying, "Let me help you."
He knew that whatever the master decided to do, he would see it through to the end, without any possibility of backing out halfway. Therefore, he neither asked the master why he was personally making breakfast for everyone, nor did he try to stop him.
The master smiled and shook his head:
"No need, I've already prepared it. Here, try my cooking."
The master picked up a large bowl, scooped out two large spoonfuls from the pot that was constantly emitting the aroma of meat, and handed them to Tang San. Then he grabbed two steamed buns and two eggs from the side, placed them on a plate, and put them in front of him.
"Eat up, you children. You need to grow and have plenty of nutrition. A healthy body is the foundation of cultivation. Without a strong body, how can you withstand the immense soul power?"
“Yesterday, I carefully considered your experiences after your trip to the Star Dou Great Forest. Many Soul Masters only focus on cultivating their Soul Power and skills, but neglect the most fundamental and basic physical training.”
"It may not be noticeable in the short term, but in the long run, it will inevitably hinder the advancement to higher levels."
Upon receiving the breakfast from the master, Tang San couldn't help but feel a strong urge to eat.
The rich broth had clearly been simmering for a long time, and the meat, cut into small pieces, was thoroughly cooked, with a faint medicinal aroma.
Just from taking a sniff, Tang San felt his stomach rumbling.
The chef's culinary skills were even better than I had imagined.
The broth was rich and flavorful, and the tender meat was almost melt-in-your-mouth tender. Paired with two steamed buns and two eggs, this was the first time Tang San had eaten such a hearty breakfast since arriving at Shrek Academy.
A warm, comforting feeling spread from my abdomen throughout my body, an indescribable sensation.
Tang San had just finished eating when he heard Oscar, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun's voices outside, "It smells so good, looks like we're going to have something good to eat today."
Half an hour later, the bell rang for class. It was time to assemble.
The sun shines brightly on the earth, its warmth bringing dryness and vibrant life. All things revive in the bright sunshine. A new day has begun.
The master stood in the center of the playground with his hands behind his back, looking at the seven students arranged in order of age in front of him.
He was the only teacher who came to class today.
Flanders said that from this day forward, all the teachers in the academy will work with the master in their teaching.
The master's gaze swept coldly over the crowd:
"I hope to see you all in the cafeteria earlier tomorrow for breakfast. Food needs time to digest, so you shouldn't do strenuous exercise immediately. I will prepare breakfast at dawn, and if you haven't come to eat within half an hour, then you don't need to eat."
The master's dignified gaze swept over all the students.
He could see, of course, that some people hadn't listened, but he didn't emphasize it again.
“I have learned about your respective martial spirits and abilities. Starting today, I will begin intensive training for you. Dai Mubai, step forward.”
Dai Mubai stepped forward, his evil eyes flashing with light.
