741 – Lin Mohua
TL : GoldenLung
“The Federation’s Central Academy is actually a branch of Shrek Academy in our hearts. The way it grooms soul masters is different from any other advanced soul master academy, and it is even different from the main school. Every student will be here for half a year, and they will all cultivate and live in the most primitive way. They will feel nature, blend with nature, cultivate with soul beasts, spar, and grow together.
“In the other half of the year, they will return to the Federation and undergo modern training in Mingdu’s Central Academy. The two methods complement each other to achieve the best results in cultivation. So, when sparring here, whether it is our students or everyone else, we cannot use any soul devices so as to avoid destroying the environment here.”
‘What a novel way of teaching!’ Lan Xuanyu and his teammates couldn’t help but be interested. The Federation had invested quite a bit for this academy, and if they wanted to conduct such teaching, they would have to invest a lot.
Xiao Qi said, “It is precisely because of this outstanding teaching method that Central Academy has been able to produce so many talents and become an important reserve force for the Federation military.”
Xie Fuquan smiled. “This is what we want to do, and it is also what we must contribute to the Federation. The development of mankind requires resources and talents. Being able to groom batch after batch of students who can be called talents is the greatest pride of us teachers.”
Xiao Qi said seriously, “All of you are worthy of respect.”
Xie Fuquan smiled and waved his hand. “We’re doing our duty. We’re here, let’s go.”
There were no more roads ahead and the soul car stopped. There was already a group of people waiting at the place where the car stopped. Judging by their age, they should be teachers.
Xie Fuquan and Qi Ruixuan brought everyone out of the car and introduced them one by one. As expected, these were all teachers from Central Academy, and all of them were Shrek Academy’s alumni.
Standing at the front was an old man with an extraordinary bearing and a faint smile on his face. He was obviously the leader of the group.
Xie Fuquan took the initiative to introduce, “This is our academy’s Dean Lin Mohua.”
Xiao Qi quickly went forward and said respectfully, “Hello, Dean Lin.”
Lin Mohua extended his hand and shook hands with him. He then said in a friendly tone, “Old Wang just told me by the soul communication device. I have high expectations for you kids! I welcome you guys on behalf of the Federation’s Central Academy. Eat first, then rest.”
Lan Xuanyu looked at this Dean Lin curiously. He naturally couldn’t tell what cultivation the other party had, but he could guess that he was definitely an expert.
They were eating in a relatively large wooden house with Dean Lin Mohua, Xie Fuquan, and Qi Ruixuan accompanying them personally. The food they ate was very simple, mostly vegetables and fruits that Lan Xuanyu and his team had never seen before.
Lan Xuanyu didn’t have to eat them. Just by feeling them, he could feel the rich life energy emitted by these fruits. They were all good stuff!
Lin Mohua looked at Lan Xuanyu with interest and smiled. “You must be Lan Xuanyu.”
“Yes, Dean Lin.” Lan Xuanyu quickly stood up and replied respectfully.
Lin Mohua waved his hand and said, “Sit down, sit down. Coming here is like coming to your own home, don’t be so polite. Furthermore, we are family.”
‘Family?’ Lan Xuanyu was confused and thought to himself, ‘Where does this come from?’
Lin Mohua’s gaze swept across his fingers. “We’ll talk about this later, let’s eat first. These are the specialty products of Sen Luo Planet. Although they can’t be compared to the products of the Eternal Tree on the Mother Planet, they are still quite rare.”
The vegetables and fruits were all very delicious and didn’t go through much processing. Most of them had kept their original taste, but the abundant life energy was of great help to all of them. The feeling of being cleansed by life energy had removed all their fatigue.
After the meal, they went to their resting place. They stayed in a row of houses that were naturally all wooden. Everyone had their own room and it was very convenient.
Including today, they could rest for two days before the sparring.
The food and water provided here contained abundant life energy. If they were to buy these good things with Shrek emblems, the food that they had eaten over the past few days would probably be worth a purple emblem. It was clear how precious they were. This was also the benefit of representing the academy for the sparring on Sen Luo Planet.
Shrek Academy didn’t say it explicitly, and Lan Xuanyu’s team only found out about this after they arrived. Lan Xuanyu even guessed that if Sima Xian’s team knew about the benefits, they would definitely not choose to spar with them.
After settling down, Lan Xuanyu returned to his room. There was a soft quilt on the wooden bed.
The temperature here was suitable and the air was moist. He opened the window and looked out. He saw wooden houses and felt the fresh air of nature.
What a great place, a vacation here isn’t bad either!
Lan Xuanyu wanted to take a look at the water sources. Where there were trees and water would definitely be the most beautiful place.
However, he would wait until after the competition. If he had enough time, he could ask to go out and have some fun. It would be considered relaxing.
Right at this moment, he heard a gentle voice. “Xuanyu, come out for a moment.”
Upon hearing this voice, Lan Xuanyu’s heart stirred because the owner of this voice had just bid farewell to them a few minutes ago. It was Dean Lin Mohua.
Lan Xuanyu instinctively sensed something and looked into the distance. He happened to see Lin Mohua waving at him from under a big tree about 100 meters away.
He pressed both hands on the edge of the window and Lan Xuanyu walked out. He quickly ran over to Lin Mohua.
Lin Mohua smiled. “En, not bad, not bad. Let’s go, let’s go somewhere.”
Lan Xuanyu subconsciously asked, “Dean Lin, where are we going?”
Lin Mohua smiled. “Of course, to a good place. Don’t be nervous, in a sense, you should call me senior brother. I am the oldest among all of Elder Shu’s current disciples, and I am also the vice leader of the School of Life.”
“Ah!” Lan Xuanyu finally understood why Lin Mohua said that they were family.
However, he couldn’t bring himself to call him ‘senior brother’ because Lin Mohua wasn’t young anymore.
Lin Mohua smiled. “There’s no need to be reserved, our seniority cannot be messed up. Just call me senior brother.”
“Then… alright, senior brother. In front of others, I’ll still call you Dean.” Lan Xuanyu blinked and said.
“Up to you. Follow me.” With that, Lin Mohua turned and walked down the slope.
His speed didn’t seem fast, but Lan Xuanyu realized that he needed to run with all his might to keep up with him.
Very soon, the two of them left the area and entered a forest under Lin Mohua’s lead.
Upon entering the forest, Lin Mohua’s speed increased so much that Lan Xuanyu had to sprint to catch up. The golden scales on his body were faintly discernible as his blood vortex spun at full speed.
After sprinting for about an hour, Lin Mohua stopped.
They were already in the middle of the forest, surrounded by huge trees and shrubs. As the leaves were too dense, the light was unable to penetrate through, causing the place to look somewhat dark.
Lin Mohua turned around, but Lan Xuanyu was shocked because he realized that the smile on Lin Mohua’s face had disappeared and was replaced with seriousness.
The surroundings seemed to have turned quiet in an instant. All the sounds of insects and birds had disappeared. It was as though there were only the two of them in this space.
