Chapter 26: Na'er Defects? Jiang Chen's Fury! Bombard Shrek!
Huo Tiangang's face turned completely dark.
"Lord Qingtian! Even if you are the Head of the Sea God Pavilion, you cannot act so forcefully and rob people!"
Yun Ming scratched his head. As the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, he also felt that snatching people away like this was rather improper.
However, upon sensing the martial soul of the Silver Dragon Spear, he immediately realized that this was another top-tier martial soul.
Innate full soul power and spiritual power that had reached the Spirit Link stage.
The DNA engraved deep in the bones of Shrek Academy was activated.
A little monster. One of ours—someone who belongs to Shrek Academy.
Still, his principles wouldn't allow him to seize someone by force.
So he explained, "You know my martial soul. Across the entire continent, only I am truly suited to be her teacher."
"Just think of it as me owing you a personal favor, alright?"
"No!" Huo Tiangang refused without hesitation. A personal favor from the continent's number one expert was priceless—but if he let this girl be taken away, his ancestor would never forgive him.
"Of course, if you're willing to marry into the Huo family, even if you take me as your disciple, I have no objections."
Yun Ming was speechless.
Asking the continent's number one to marry into the Huo family—he really dared to think big.
Seeing Huo Tiangang's stubborn refusal, Yun Ming knew there was no point in arguing any further.
But giving up on this precious disciple? That was impossible.
He extended a finger and directly immobilized Huo Tiangang where he stood.
Among Titled Douluo, a single rank made the difference between heaven and earth—let alone Yun Ming, who stood at the quasi-divine Extreme Douluo level.
Suppressing a Level 97 Super Douluo was effortless.
"Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent—you know its reputation well," Yun Ming said calmly.
"I, Yun Ming—publicly recognized as the strongest on the continent! The current Head of the Sea God Pavilion! Martial Soul: Sky Piercing Spear! As long as you become my disciple, I guarantee that in thirty years, you shall reach the realm of Extreme Douluo!"
He had achieved that realm at thirty-one. With the girl before him possessing the Silver Dragon Spear, he was confident that with his guidance and the Sea God Pavilion's full support, she could surpass him—achieving Extreme Douluo even before thirty.
Na'er stared blankly at his martial soul, then activated her own.
Huo Tiangang tried to interrupt: "Don't forget—"
"Shut up, I didn't ask you." Yun Ming flicked his finger again, sealing the man's voice.
"Your martial soul and mine are both spears. Across the continent, no one else is more suitable to teach you!"
Of course, there was still Yue Tian Shenqiang's wielder, Guan Yue—but even he was inferior to Yun Ming.
"You can make any request you wish," Yun Ming added confidently.
After all, a personal disciple deserved everything he could offer.
Na'er bit her lip, torn. "I... I don't know..."
"What? You don't know?"
Yun Ming was surprised. Was his name no longer effective?
"Are you a person of the Spirit Transmission Tower?"
Na'er shook her head.
"Then it's settled. If you wish to grow stronger, come with me! Thirty years from now, you will be the next Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion!"
Yun Ming had long wanted to retire—to focus entirely on breaking into godhood. Training a disciple who could inherit his mantle was perfect!
Na'er thought of Lang Yue, Tang Ziran, Tang Wulin—and Jiang Chen.
"To grow stronger... for what purpose?"
"To do whatever you wish! No one can stop you—true freedom!"
He looked at Huo Tiangang, who could only glare helplessly, unable to resist.
"Freedom?"
Na'er recalled how she had "willingly" come to Jiang Chen's home and endured his bullying.
"I'll go with you—but I have to repay what I owe first."
"Repay? Money?" Yun Ming frowned.
This again. The Spirit Transmission Tower's usual trick—luring ordinary geniuses with free martial soul awakening and generous promises.
Especially those who couldn't afford soul spirits.
Still, Yun Ming couldn't deny the Tower's immense wealth. With enough money, they could buy any soul spirit they wanted.
"How much do you owe? Forget it."
He pulled out a black card. "Here, one hundred million Federation coins."
"T-that's too much."
"No need to be polite. From today on, I am your teacher."
Yun Ming kept Huo Tiangang frozen for half an hour, then followed Na'er to her home to pack.
The third floor—where she had been bullied by Jiang Chen for nearly a month—was filled with deep memories.
"Ah..."
Na'er sighed, feeling indescribably conflicted.
She had made her choice and would not regret it—just like when she first chose Tang Wulin, then came to Jiang Chen's home. This time was no different.
She realized she had very little to pack. When she came, she only carried her diary, nothing else.
The wardrobe was still full of dresses Jiang Chen had bought for her, but she didn't take them. Instead, she changed into the purple dress she wore when first coming to Jiang Chen's house—the one he'd always wanted to throw away.
She tore out the page recording her first loan repayment and placed it neatly on the table, setting the black card on top.
She thought for a long time but couldn't decide what else to write. He'd be angry—angry beyond comforting.
So she only wrote six words:
"I'm leaving. I'm sorry."
…
The opening ceremony for Eastsea Academy was tomorrow. Classes would be divided thereafter.
Jiang Chen didn't stay on campus. After all, seeing Gu Yue's donkey face was far less entertaining than playing around with Na'er at home.
Ah, if only Gu Yue and Na'er could sense each other's presence—that would be exciting.
"Ancestor! Something terrible—Na'er has been taken by Shrek Academy!"
Jiang Chen: ?
The moment he received Huo Tiangang's message, he was stunned.
What?
He instinctively pulled out his phone and sent Na'er a message.
The only response was a bright red exclamation mark.
When he rushed home, the room was silent. Opening the wardrobe, all the clothes were still there.
Wait—not all. Missing was the old purple dress he'd wanted to throw out.
Jiang Chen quickly walked to the desk and found her neat repayment notes.
August 1st, first time warming the bed—10,000.
August 2nd, warming the bed—1,000.
August 3rd, warming the bed—1,000; bathing—800.
August...
"Jiang~ Chen~ brother~"
Huo Yun'er called softly, unusually without saying "ancestor," her face full of worry. The atmosphere was unnatural—heavy and cold.
She was scared.
Expressionless, Jiang Chen said, "Get out."
"Ah!"
Her fear won out over concern. She fled immediately—remembering to close the door behind her.
Half an hour later—
"Ancestor? Are you okay?"
The elder and the young one both looked at Jiang Chen anxiously as he came out. His face had some color again, but the chill around him was real—terrifying.
Expressionless, Jiang Chen said, "We're going home."
Huo Tiangang stammered, "H-home? What for?"
Jiang Chen replied coldly, "To wage war."
"Activate the Eternal Kingdom—I'm going to blow Shrek off the map!"
