43: Take the Terror Knight Scott away and return to Tianshui College

Chapter 43: Taking Terror Knight Scott Away, Returning to Tianshui Academy

“Hmm?”

Asura God’s expression shifted slightly, but quickly returned to normal. He softly muttered, “Three transformed Beast Clans have obtained the Slaughter God Domain.”

“Since I left that Slaughter World, this situation has never occurred before.”

“Spirit Beasts.”

Asura God slowly closed his eyes again. As a powerful God King like him, he didn’t care about this matter at all, nor did he care whether Ye Wen and the two others had obtained the Slaughter God Domain or if they were Spirit Beasts.

Because in Asura God’s eyes, Ye Wen and the two others were like ants. Would a god at the pinnacle care about a tiny ant?

Therefore, in his eyes, this was an insignificant matter, as long as the inheritance ground remained, because he was still waiting for a suitable successor.

Ye Wen and the two others, transformed Spirit Beasts, were not even considered by him.

At this moment, after passing through the nearest city, Ye Wen and the two others directly purchased several carriages, then had everyone drive back to Tianshui City.

On the way, Terror Knight Scott served as the coachman and rode in the same carriage as Ye Wen and the two others.

Ye Wen was quite curious about Scott and casually asked, “Hey, Scott, I heard the Slaughter King say you’re a Spirit Douluo?”

“Yes, Master.”

“Tell me about your Soul Power, Spirit, spirit ring configuration, and so on.” Ye Wen intended to understand him better, as he would be following him for a long time in the future.

“Yes, Master.” Scott respectfully nodded, then said, “My name is Scott, I am 42 years old this year, an 82nd-level, eight-ring attack system Spirit Master. My Tool Spirit is the high-grade Blood Shadow Sword, and my spirit ring configuration is yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black.”

“A standard top-tier spirit ring configuration. An 82nd-level Spirit Douluo at 42 years old, Scott, your talent is very strong! How did you end up having to rely on Slaughter City?” Ye Wen was a bit surprised and very puzzled.

At this age, this Soul Power was already very talented, even having the potential to reach the Titled Douluo realm.

You should know that the youngest Titled Douluo on the continent, Tang Hao, was 44 years old.

The second youngest Spirit Emperor on the continent, Qin Ming, was a 62nd-level Spirit Emperor in his early thirties and broke through to the Spirit Douluo realm within the next ten years.

Regardless of whether there were younger ones not publicly known, being called the first or second undoubtedly meant they were geniuses among geniuses on the continent.

And Scott’s talent was completely comparable to Qin Ming’s!

Such a genius would basically be eagerly sought after by Spirit Hall and the Empire, or recruited by various Sects. How did he end up in Slaughter City?

“You must have committed some offense or offended someone before, right?”

“Master, I previously killed a Heaven Dou Empire noble, and then I was wanted. With nowhere to go, I could only choose to go to Slaughter City.”

Although Scott spoke lightly, Ye Wen detected the anger, grievance, and hatred in his eyes and emotions.

“Heaven Dou Empire noble? Why did you kill them?”

“They insulted my wife and killed my son. I killed them for revenge.” Scott clenched his fists tightly.

“I understand. I’m sorry, I brought up your sad past.”

“It’s alright, Master, I’m used to it.”

Clearly, Scott had suffered injustice; a good person was forced into a desperate situation.

Previously, when Ye Wen read stories about the Douluo World, he would view them from the protagonist’s perspective, but over time, he gradually realized that compared to the Two Great Empires, Spirit Hall was actually the more righteous party.

They suppressed evil Spirit Masters, bore the responsibility of maintaining social order, and helped every ordinary, even poor, child have the opportunity to awaken their Spirit, become a Spirit Master, and have the chance to study at a Spirit Master Academy.

If not for the existence of Spirit Hall, the Two Great Empires would have long since started fighting, with endless wars and the common people suffering.

And if not for the existence of Spirit Hall, Spirit Masters would probably have long since been monopolized by the Empire nobles, leaving no chance for commoner Spirit Masters to rise, unless they were exceptionally outstanding.

Although there were many inactive Spirit Masters in the various branch halls of Spirit Hall, even oppressing the common people, after all, a big forest has all kinds of birds.

Did the Empire not have them?

The Empire was even more so; many local officials and nobles oppressed the common people, bullying others by their power, even more than Spirit Hall. So, there must be many good people like Scott who were oppressed by nobles.

In short, both sides were equally bad, and in Ye Wen’s opinion, Spirit Hall unifying the continent might actually be better in the future.

“Scott, if you still have any unfinished business, or any revenge left to take, just tell me.”

“Thank you for your concern, Master. I can only follow by your side now.”

“Alright.” Ye Wen nodded, and the two stopped their conversation.

After roughly ten days of travel, Ye Wen and his group finally returned to Tianshui City.

He did not return to the Academy immediately but instead purchased a five-story villa in Tianshui City to house Scott and the group of Spirit Masters who came from Slaughter City.

After all, they were people and needed money. Even if they followed him, they would need to be paid, but Ye Wen had no shortage of money.

“You will live here from now on. I will contact you when needed. You are free to move around in Tianshui City, as long as you don’t actively cause trouble, understood?” Ye Wen said.

“Understood, Master!”

“Also, Scott, from now on, your identity to outsiders will be Evil Tiger’s distant grand-uncle.”

“Wait! Boss! Why is it my grand-uncle, not Xiao Bai’s grand-uncle?” Evil Tiger questioned.

“Do you think Xiao Bai’s cute appearance looks like Scott’s grand-niece?”

Evil Tiger: “Uh…”

They were all Spirit Beasts. After reaching a bottleneck, they wouldn’t need to hunt Spirit Beasts to condense spirit rings themselves. When they absorbed spirit rings, the teachers of Tianshui Academy would definitely have to help, and then it would be easy to discover.

With Scott acting as the grand-uncle, they could say he brought them each time they absorbed a spirit ring, which would prevent this from being discovered.

“Alright, let’s go back to Tianshui Academy.”

“Mhm, mhm!”

The three of them packed up and returned to Tianshui Academy.

Upon their return this time, Ye Wen’s human form Soul Power had already broken through to level 18, while Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai were at level 17, their Soul Power always keeping up, without falling behind.

“Junior Brother Ye Wen!!”

“Junior Brother Evil Tiger!”

“Junior Sister Xiao Bai!”

“You’re back!”

“Junior Brother Ye Wen! Come quickly! Come, kisses, hugs, and high lifts!”

When Ye Wen and the two others entered Tianshui Academy, as usual, the senior sisters were still as enthusiastic.

“No need, no need, senior sisters, no kisses and hugs. I’m still young.”

“Eh, why are you leaving so soon~”

Ye Wen quickly slipped away and returned to his dorm. Before he could lie down, someone knocked on the door.

Knock, knock, knock!

“Who is it!”

“It’s me.” Shui Bing’er’s voice came from outside the door.

“Shui Bing’er?” Ye Wen immediately stood up to open the door and saw the beautiful girl in a dark blue dress outside: “What’s up? Why are you looking for me?”

“I… I actually…” Shui Bing’er’s face flushed slightly.
