Legend of the dragon king

Chapter 331 - Mu Chen Arrives

Tang Wulin knitted his brows. After seeing Xu Xiaoyan's anxious face hours ago, he had been caught in mental turmoil over what to do about her and Xie Xie.

In their mecha making groups, the most influential people were those who were strong or skilled in their professions. Neither Xie Xie nor Xu Xiaoyan were particularly outstanding in these two aspects, especially in the second. Both were still at the first rank, dangling at the bottom of the ladder.

"How about we ask the teachers to move them to our group?" Gu Yue asked.

Tang Wulin shook his head. "Sometimes, setbacks aren't necessarily a bad thing. It can serve as pressure to make someone work harder. When I first discovered my martial soul was bluesilver grass, I was crushed. At that time, I had even lost hope of ever becoming a soul master. And when my first spirit soul turned out defective, I was close to giving up. But I pushed on, taking one step forward at a time, striving to improve myself and never giving in to laziness. I knew if I did, I was sure to fall behind the rest of you and would never be able to catch up. That's why I think we can subtly help them but not do too much. Besides, our group is made of all four members of the class council,. We're stronger than the rest of the groups. If we added anyone else, the other students would be discontent."

Gu Yue mulled over his words, a hand to her chin. "That makes sense. Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan are both from large clans and have been spoiled since childhood. They never had to face any real setbacks or had been forced to put in as much effort as you do, and as such haven't displayed their full potential. Some stress will be good for them. Let's do as you say then."

"If it becomes necessary, we'll step in and help them," Tang Wulin said. "Xie Xie is a mecha maker and Xu Xiaoyan is a designer. Xie Xie needs to become stronger by himself, so you don't have to worry about him so much. I'm confident he'll be able to pull through. As for Xiaoyan, you can help her improve as a designer. Oh right, when did you become a fourth-rank designer? You're amazing!"

Gu Yue rolled her eyes at him. "Are you complimenting me or yourself? Don't forget, you're already a fifth-rank blacksmith. Plus it's easier for designers to progress in rank than blacksmiths. My spiritual power is really high, so I have a large advantage when it comes to designing. Because Xiaoyan's spiritual power is approaching five hundred points, it shouldn't be a problem for her either. It's only a matter of time before she increases her rank."

The next course of action was to obtain heavy silver and magic silver. Fortunately, Tang Wulin had some in stock.

All of a sudden, Tang Wulin's soul communicator rang.

A smile formed on his lips when he saw the number.

"Teacher."

"Mn. I'm at Shrek City now. When can you come out?" Mu Chen's voice came across clearly through the communicator's speakers.

"In the afternoon-I don't have class then. Where are you staying?" Tang Wulin asked.

A few moments later, Tang Wulin scribbled down the address, a place tucked within the outer city.

"Gu Yue, I need to go out for a bit after we finish eating. I won't be on campus in the afternoon, so if you need anything, just call me."

"Okay." She didn't pry any further.

After finishing an enormous lunch, which was basically a cultivation method for him, he left campus and hailed a taxi, heading straight for the address Mu Chen gave him. Tang Wulin could hardly contain his joy knowing his teacher was here. Mu Chen had traveled a long journey for his sake to Shrek Academy, a strange and unfamiliar place for him, not to mention gigantic! Even on a soul taxi, it took a bit more than an hour for Tang Wulin to reach his destination.
