71: Chapter 71 Lin Yue discovers Tang San has become a roadside...

He spoke polite words, but his mind had long since been made up.

After returning, he must immediately accelerate his Cultivate speed, while simultaneously finding every possible way to figure out the background of other Transmigration and Rebirth individuals on the continent, and more importantly, keep a close watch on the movements of the Star Dou Great Forest.

This World has completely descended into chaos; without strength, he would only become cannon fodder crushed first.

Then, Yu Tianmeng thought of something and said, "It couldn't be that this useless Xiaogang tricked us, intentionally leading us away to let other factions attack our Sect, could it?"

Hearing this, Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen immediately slapped Yu Xiaogang, causing his vision to swim with stars and knocking out several of his teeth.

"If the Sect is truly attacked by other factions, you are dead!"

The group quickly left the empty valley, leaving Yu Xiaogang, who looked as if he had lost his soul, abandoned on the outskirts of the Sunset Forest.

Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen took Yu Tianmeng and the rest of the Sect members and returned towards the Sect without looking back.

Abandoned in the Sunset Forest, Yu Xiaogang looked at his surroundings, which were fraught with danger. The grievances, unwillingness, and despair of his past and present lives surged up all at once, and he collapsed onto the ground, weeping heart-wrenchingly.

His only trump card was gone, his pride-inducing foresight had become a joke, and the only Family he could rely on had completely abandoned him.

Yet, he was still unwilling to give up.

He gritted his teeth, crawled up from the mud, and a trace of paranoid red light flashed in his eyes again.

Even without the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he still had other Opportunities! He knew of Slaughter City, knew of Sea God Island, and knew everything Tang San would encounter in the future! He must return to Tang San's side; as long as he followed Tang San, he would definitely be able to make a comeback!

After an unknown number of days, the gaunt and foul-smelling Yu Xiaogang returned to Nuoding City once more.

As soon as he returned to the academy, he rushed like a madman to the door of Tang San's dormitory, just in time to bump into Tang San and Lin Yue coming out.

He grabbed Tang San's arm, his eyes bloodshot, and shouted incoherently, "Tang San! Believe me! I really know of Opportunities that can make you stronger! The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is just one of them! There is also Sea God Island! And Slaughter City! I know them all! Take me as your master, and I will take you there! I can make you the strongest Spirit Master on the entire continent!"

Tang San frowned and quietly withdrew his arm. Looking at the mad Yu Xiaogang before him, there was not a ripple in his eyes, only faint detachment and impatience.

Beside him, Lin Yue's eyes flashed with a sharp light upon hearing this. She had long since confirmed that Yu Xiaogang was a Rebirth individual, and these words now completely exposed his background.

She stepped forward, blocking Tang San, and looked coldly at Yu Xiaogang, her tone carrying a bone-chilling coldness, "Big Useless Xiaogang, I think you have truly gone mad. If you continue to babble nonsense and harass us here, I don't mind directly crippling your meager Soul Power and making you completely get out of Nuoding Academy."

"No! What I said is true!" Yu Xiaogang jumped in anxiety, wanting to push forward, but was forced to retreat repeatedly by the Soul Power pressure emitted by Lin Yue.

Tang San finally raised his eyes to look at him, his tone calm to the point of indifference, "Great Master, as for how far I can go in the future, I will walk that path myself. There is no need for you to worry. In the future, please do not come to disturb me again."

After speaking, he followed Lin Yue and walked away without looking back, leaving Yu Xiaogang standing alone in place, watching their retreating figures, his whole body cold, completely plunged into despair.

From beginning to end, Tang San only regarded Yu Xiaogang as having too deep an obsession and having lost his mind, full of unrealistic ravings. He had never once thought in the direction of "Rebirth," which was inconceivable, and he did not know that this World was already filled with uninvited guests from another World.

Walking to a quiet spot behind the academy, the two stopped.

Tang San nodded slightly to Lin Yue, "Thank you for earlier."

"There is nothing to thank me for." Lin Yue shook her head, her gaze sweeping across the mottled walls of Nuoding Academy, her eyes hiding a solemnity only she understood, but she spoke in a flat tone, "Tang San, we should leave this place."

Tang San was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"

Lin Yue looked at him, her tone firm and unquestionable, "With our current cultivation, and the Spirit knowledge you and I possess, this Elementary Spirit Master Academy of Nuoding has nothing left to teach us. Not to mention Elementary graduation, even the core courses of an Intermediate Spirit Master Academy hold no difficulty for us. Continuing to stay here is just a waste of time."

These words were exactly what Tang San was thinking.

He was originally a Peak figure of the Tang Sect in his past life, his mentality and knowledge far exceeding his peers, and in this life, he had awakened twin spirits; the basic courses of Nuoding Academy had long been like chewing wax to him.

He nodded, a trace of the Spirit and yearning a youth should have appearing in his eyes, "You are right. Then where do you plan to go?"

Lin Yue was silent for a moment, her heart already churning with thousands of thoughts.

She was too clear on the current situation.

Transmigration and Rebirth individuals were everywhere; large organizations, small organizations, Loose Cultivators, and Spirit Beasts all had their presence.

As the destined protagonist of the original work, Tang San was the most conspicuous living target on the entire continent. All the Transmigration individuals in the shadows would stare at him, either to cling to his thighs to gain Opportunities or to strike first to eliminate the root of the problem.

To continue staying by Tang San's side was equivalent to putting herself in the open, placing herself in the crosshairs of all the gazes in the shadows.

Under the Dark Forest Law, only the hunters hidden in the shadows could live the longest.

She must break away from Tang San, the center of the vortex in the open, and hide in the shadows to truly control her own destiny, rather than being led by the nose by the already shattered plot and other Transmigration individuals.

And Shrek Academy was one of the few plot anchor points she could still confirm, and it was also Tang San's original destiny trajectory.

Leading Tang San there would neither completely disrupt the plot to trigger uncontrollable variables, nor would it prevent her from smoothly extricating herself.

With thoughts turning over and over in her mind, Lin Yue's face remained calm and waveless, and she only spoke flatly, "The Douluo Continent World is so big, I want to go and see it. However, I can point you to a place. In the Balak Kingdom, there is an academy called Shrek, nicknamed 'Monster Academy'. The rule is that it only accepts monsters and not ordinary people. You can go there and take a look."

Tang San was somewhat surprised. He had originally thought Lin Yue would travel with him, but he didn't expect her to plan on training alone.

He frowned, just about to speak to persuade her, but suddenly remembered something. A trace of irrepressible softness instantly appeared in his eyes, and the topic shifted, "That's fine too. However, I must first ask for Xiao Wu's opinion regarding this matter, to see if she wants to go to Soto City with me or if she has other plans."

Mentioning Xiao Wu, a trace of imperceptible amusement flashed in Lin Yue's eyes, but she didn't say much, only nodding faintly, "That is as it should be."

She was crystal clear in her heart that the relationship between this official couple from the original work, who were supposed to depend on each other for life and death and be loyal to the end, had long since been completely reversed.

When they first entered Nuoding Academy, Xiao Wu was indeed exactly the same as in the original work, wearing playful long braids, sticking to Tang San calling him "Brother" at every turn, soft and fluffy, making anyone who saw her feel affection.

But she didn't know when the wind direction had completely changed.

Xiao Wu easily gripped Tang San's heart. Once Tang San was completely infatuated with her, with her filling his eyes and heart, Xiao Wu suddenly pulled back, no longer sticking to him or calling him brother. Instead, she was distant and indifferent to him, and even eating and Cultivating together depended on her mood.

On the contrary, Tang San had completely lost the steadiness and calmness of the Tang Sect Leader from his past life, following behind Xiao Wu every day to show concern. If Xiao Wu frowned, he would be nervous for a long time; any casual word from Xiao Wu, he would firmly remember in his heart, running around to handle it, just like a little dog circling its master.

Everyone in Nuoding Academy knew that Tang San, this Genius, was completely controlled by Xiao Wu.

Lin Yue had observed Xiao Wu secretly more than once. She always felt that this 100,000-year Soft Bones Rabbit was also different from the innocent and naive little girl in the original work.

As for whether it was playing hard to get after budding love, or if there were other hidden variables, Lin Yue had no interest in delving into it.

This was the business of the original male and female protagonists; she had no need to interfere, and even less need to disrupt her plan to lie low in the shadows because of these insignificant variables.

Tang San did not notice the emotions in Lin Yue's eyes. As soon as his words fell, he turned and ran towards the direction of the dormitory, his pace even more hurried than usual, obviously unable to wait to ask for Xiao Wu's opinion.

Watching Tang San's retreating figure, the calmness on Lin Yue's face instantly faded, leaving only cold sharpness in her eyes.

She turned and went to the Dean's office to submit her graduation application.
