78: Leave Tianshui College and start your own college?
Chapter 78: Leaving Tianshui Academy, Founding My Own Academy?
(Things have been a bit hectic these past few days. These two chapters were written on the plane, so they might be a bit watered down and trashy.)
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo completely failed to discern the Spirit Beast true forms of Ye Wen, Snow Empress, and Ice Empress, nor could they detect any trace of Spirit Beast aura. In their eyes, they were entirely human children.
"It's not them."
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged glances, their eyes confirming their shared belief that they needed no further investigation, as this was sufficient.
"Oh, we are students of Tianshui Academy! Go straight ahead, and when you see the crossroads, keep going right, and you'll arrive. What are you going there for? Should we take you?" Ye Wen said earnestly.
Chrysanthemum Douluo chuckled, "No need, we'll go ourselves."
"Let's go, Old Ghost."
With that, Chrysanthemum Douluo led Ghost Douluo towards Tianshui Academy.
Ye Wen, Snow Empress, and Ice Empress exchanged glances and did not follow, their killing intent slowly receding.
"Ye Wen, they really didn't discover us." Snow Empress still felt a bit surprised.
Ye Wen smiled, "Haha, I said it. Transforming through the power of shapeshifting won't be detected by human Titled Douluo."
"However, even if we are temporarily detected by Spirit Hall's forces, we can't stay at Tianshui Academy indefinitely." Ye Wen said with a hint of seriousness.
He pondered, a new challenge emerging.
He had originally planned to stay at Tianshui Academy until after the Soul Master Competition, then graduate and leave, but now it was clearly unlikely.
Spirit Hall was vigorously searching for them. If they searched for too long and couldn't find them, they would surely send more people and search even more frantically.
Even if they managed to avoid detection until the Soul Master Competition, once the competition reached the finals held at Spirit Hall, the abilities and displayed talent of Ye Wen, Evil Tiger, Xiao Bai, Ice Empress, and Snow Empress would be too heaven-defying.
Even now, Ye Wen and the others were already heaven-defying, and they would be even more so during the Soul Master Competition. So many heaven-defying geniuses would be too strange and would definitely arouse the suspicion of Spirit Hall's higher-ups. Coupled with Ice Empress being a top-tier Beast Spirit of Ice and Snow, it wasn't impossible that Bibi Dong and her group of Titled Douluo would suspect them of being Spirit Beasts.
If their Spirit Beast identities were truly exposed on the Spirit Hall's Soul Master Competition stage, Ye Wen and the others naturally wouldn't be afraid. If discovered, they would fight, dust themselves off, and leave, but it might implicate Tianshui Academy.
Therefore, they either wouldn't participate in the Soul Master Competition, or they would have to leave Tianshui Academy.
"If we leave Tianshui Academy, where do we go? Didn't you say you wanted to participate in the Soul Master Competition and get the three ten-thousand-year Spirit Bones as the champion's reward?" Snow Empress asked.
"If we leave Tianshui Academy, I haven't thought of where to go yet. No matter which academy we go to, as long as we participate in the Soul Master Competition, it's highly likely to implicate that academy." Ye Wen pondered.
Snow Empress suddenly said, "It seems like we could create our own Soul Master Academy? A team of seven people, and we have enough people."
Ye Wen's eyes lit up, "That's a good idea!"
"If we create our own academy, with just us transformed Spirit Beasts, even if Spirit Hall suspects or exposes us on the Soul Master Competition stage, we won't implicate any Soul Master Academy."
The Soul Master Competition is, after all, the largest Soul Master Competition. If they create their own academy, they would still be within the Two Great Empires' territories, participating in the preliminaries, and representing an Empire's Soul Master Academy. Even if they were suspected by Spirit Hall midway through the competition,
it's highly likely that, as in his memories, they would wait until the competition was over and the rewards were distributed before making a move to capture them.
"So, if we create our own academy, when do we plan to do it?" Ice Empress asked.
Ye Wen began to ponder, "Hmm, in another year. Tianshui Academy has placed great hopes on us and given us the best cultivation resources and treatment. Leaving just like that would feel a bit ungrateful."
"Within this year, we will fully assist the future main members of Tianshui Academy in improving their strength, at least ensuring that Tianshui has a chance to reach the top four in the future competition."
Ye Wen was always someone who repaid kindness and sought revenge for grievances. He hadn't overlooked Tianshui Academy's care for them over the past few years. Staying for another year and fully helping Tianshui's future main members improve their strength would be a form of repayment, and they could leave with a clear conscience.
For Tianshui Academy, the Dean, Shui Binger, Water Binger, and even everyone in Tianshui Academy, they all greatly hoped to reach the top four, or even win the championship, in the Soul Master Competition. As long as they reached the top four, they would be satisfied.
After all, for an academy's development, the Soul Master Competition is the most important, as it can demonstrate an academy's strength and whether it can reach the pinnacle of academies.
"Let's go to Tianshui Academy."
"Okay."
Ye Wen, Snow Empress, and Ice Empress also headed towards Tianshui Academy.
At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, under the guise of apprehending criminals, arrived at Tianshui Academy to investigate. With two Spirit Hall Elders descending, the academy was helpless and could only allow them to search, but as expected, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo found nothing.
Helpless, they could only leave Tianshui Academy.
Ye Wen and the two watched Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's departing footsteps from afar, then retracted their gaze.
Subsequently, Ye Wen summoned Evil Tiger, Xiao Bai, Ice Empress, and Snow Empress.
He told them about the upcoming plan. Upon learning that Ye Wen and the others planned to leave Tianshui Academy, Xiao Bai was a bit reluctant to leave; she had the deepest feelings for Tianshui Academy.
But as Ye Wen said, if they wanted to participate in the Soul Master Competition and obtain the three ten-thousand-year Spirit Bones from the championship, there was a possibility of their Spirit Beast identities being exposed, thereby implicating Tianshui Academy.
The only option was to leave Tianshui Academy and have these transformed Spirit Beasts create their own academy to compete.
"In one year, we will leave Tianshui Academy. Within this year, we will do our best to help the future main members of Tianshui Academy improve their strength."
"Good!"
One year later, Tang San and Xiao Wu would also graduate from Nuoding Soul Master Academy. At that time, he would conveniently go and subdue Xiao Wu. With Xiao Wu, Ye Wen's Spirit Beast team
would have him, Evil Tiger, Xiao Bai, Snow Empress, Ice Empress, plus Naer, and Xiao Wu, making seven members, which fulfills the number of people for the Soul Master Competition's 7v7 team battle.
Of course, just seven wasn't enough; they would also need some substitutes. At that time, Da Ming, Er Ming, A Tai, and Ice Bear King would all be called to participate in the competition, providing four substitutes.
An academy's team could then be formed.
And there were only three years left until the Soul Master Competition, so various academies had already begun preparing, selecting, and choosing the main and substitute members for the next Soul Master Competition.
