12: Notting College, the trio of sea soul beasts are coming with force!

Chapter 12: Noding Academy, The Sea Soul Beast Trio Arrives With Force!

After the group of robbers determined Ye Wen’s trio’s route, they set up an ambush on an uninhabited mountain road ahead.

Soon, the carriage Ye Wen was riding in arrived at this mountain road.

The robbers lying in ambush here were completely unaware that disaster was about to strike them, and they were still excitedly chattering: “Big Brother, we’re going to strike it rich this time! I’ve been watching them for two days, these three little brats are loaded!”

“Hahahaha! Once we rob these little brats of their money, brothers, we’ll eat well, drink well, and get some beauties!”

“Alright~!”

There were ten robbers in total. The leader was a Spirit Elder level Spirit Master, and the rest were Spirit Grandmasters.

Seeing that the carriage had reached the ambush range, they decisively rushed out.

With arrogant expressions, they shouted: “Hey, hey, hey! You little brats in the carriage, get out of there right now!”

“What’s going on?”

In their human forms, Ye Wen’s trio were only Spirit Masters, so they naturally didn’t sense being targeted. However, there was no panic on their faces as they slowly stepped out of the carriage.

“Hehehe, little brats, blame your bad luck for being targeted by us. Reincarnate well in your next Life, and your money will be spent by us sirs, alright?”

The group of robbers said with menacing expressions.

“It looks like we’ve run into bandits!”

“Boss, can I kill them?”

Evil Tiger was already excited. He had wanted to kill people for a long time, but Ye Wen had told him not to kill indiscriminately, so he had been suppressing it.

So, seeing the bandits, Evil Tiger was thrilled.

“Kill them,” Ye Wen said lazily.

He was not some saint. These people clearly wanted to kill for wealth. For those who wanted to kill him, he would return the favor in the same way.

“Brothers, attack!”

The bandits rushed over excitedly, but when they saw Evil Tiger’s even more excited face, they were a bit confused.

What’s going on?

Why is this kid even more excited than us?

I don’t know?

It wasn’t until they saw Evil Tiger’s appearance begin to change, gradually transforming into a strange man radiating a terrifying aura, that the bandits finally panicked and were scared silly.

“Heh hahahaha! Humans, let me taste your blood!”

Splat~!

“Ah ah ah ah…”

In an instant, Evil Tiger severed the bandit leader’s head, and blood spurted wildly.

At this, the bandits were completely terrified. The fear of death enveloped them, and they scattered in all directions, fleeing in terror.

“Die!”

“Flee?”

“Where do you think you’re going?”

Splat!

“Ah ah…”

Evil Tiger unleashed a frenzied slaughter. Screams continuously echoed, and in no time, everyone was killed, with no one left alive.

“Satisfying!”

The Devil Tiger Whale was inherently a highly bloodthirsty Sea Soul Beast. Killing these people made him feel much more comfortable.

It wouldn’t do to always suppress his bloodthirsty nature. Ye Wen thought that in the future, when Evil Tiger wanted to kill, he would specifically let him kill evil people.

“Evil Tiger, come back.”

“Yes, Boss.”

Evil Tiger transformed back into his human form, and the trio continued their journey.

It would take at least half a month to get from here to Nuoding City. Along the way, feeling bored, Ye Wen’s trio used their travel time to absorb Soul Power and meditate for cultivation.

Although their Spirit Beast bodies were already powerful enough, it was also necessary to cultivate in their human forms. In fact, if they cultivated their human forms to the peak Douluo level, they might not be weaker than their Spirit Beast forms.

Moreover, the time and cycle required for humans to cultivate to the peak were much faster and shorter than for Spirit Beasts, and there was a chance, though only a chance.

This was why ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts like Ah Yin, Xiao Wu’s mother, and Xiao Wu chose to transform.

Aside from eating, drinking, sleeping, and using the restroom, Ye Wen’s trio were almost always cultivating. For the long lifespan of Spirit Beasts, this amount of time was nothing, so Spirit Beasts were more patient in their cultivation.

Unconsciously, half a month later.

Ye Wen was finally nearing Nuoding City. Along the way, there had been several instances where people tried to rob them, but they were all killed by Evil Tiger.

At this point, around 11 AM, the carriage Ye Wen was riding in finally entered Nuoding City.

“Is this Nuoding City? It’s quite similar to how I imagined it.” Ye Wen looked at the buildings and layout within the city, which were very close to what he had seen when watching anime before.

They didn’t delay and headed straight for Noding Academy.

Aside from wanting to beat up his future fated opponent, Tang San, on this trip, Ye Wen actually had another consideration: whether or not to take in Xiao Wu.

To be honest, he didn’t particularly like this rabbit, but if Xiao Wu stayed by Tang San’s side, she would sooner or later become Tang San’s tool, and likely even sacrifice herself again, allowing Tang San to obtain a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.

He needed to consider what to do about Xiao Wu.

A moment later, the carriage arrived in front of Noding Spirit Master Junior Academy. Ye Wen, Evil Tiger, and Xiao Bai got out of the carriage and swaggered towards the main gate.

“Hey! Stop, you kids up ahead, you’re not students of Noding Academy…”

The gate guard wanted to stop them, but before he could finish speaking, Ye Wen tossed him a silver coin and said, “Open the gate. We’re here to register for school.”

The gate guard excitedly caught the silver coin, his face unable to hide his joy. He quickly ran to open the gate: “Please come in, three young brothers! The academy office building is a left turn ahead, then just go straight!”

“Thanks,” Ye Wen waved his hand and strode inside.

Evil Tiger glanced at him: “Tch, a human who only cares about money.”

Soon, the trio arrived at the office building and found the headmaster of Noding Academy.

Even a junior academy as subpar as Noding Academy generally didn’t accept commoners, at most providing a few work-study student slots each year.

The vast majority of Spirit Masters with commoner status who wanted to learn Spirit Master knowledge could only go to academies established by Spirit Hall, which would accept and train them for free.

As for the Empire’s academies, those were for nobles to attend, or only children from wealthy and powerful families were qualified to go to school.

So, after Ye Wen found the headmaster, he didn’t say a word, directly pulled out a bag of spirit coins and slapped it on the headmaster’s desk.

He smiled and said: “Headmaster, I wonder if this money is enough for the three of us to study here.”

The headmaster immediately had someone process the enrollment procedures for Ye Wen’s trio. Just like that, they became transfer students in the first grade of Noding Academy.

Following the administrative teacher, they received two sets of school uniforms, blankets, pillows, and other items, and then started arranging dorms. Ye Wen specifically requested Dorm 7, where Xiao Wu and Tang San were located.

The administrative teacher was a bit puzzled: “Are you sure? Dorm 7 is for work-study students.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Ye Wen said.

“Alright, then you can go to Dorm 7. There are plenty of empty beds there anyway.”

Ye Wen nodded and led Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai towards Dorm 7.

It was now 12 PM, precisely the time for students’ lunch break. Xiao Wu, Tang San, and the other work-study students were probably resting in the dorm.

Ye Wen, Evil Tiger, and Xiao Bai arrived with force, kicking open the door to Dorm 7 directly.

Bang!

“What the—who’s there?!”

With the door open, everyone in the dorm was startled.
