Comparing the Three Academies, a Tough Decision

As for whether he would experiment or not, Yun Feng wasn't sure.

After all, he had said before that attempting to absorb a higher-level soul ring was extremely difficult—almost a death sentence! The deacon sent by the Spirit Hall had asked Yun Feng to demonstrate his first soul skill. After a brief moment of admiration, the deacon left.

However, before leaving, the deacon gave Yun Feng a promise: if he ever made any new discoveries in the future, he could report them directly, and the Spirit Hall would not shortchange him. Even though Yun Feng was a bit lacking, few people had the courage to try such dangerous practices! The Spirit Hall appreciated this kind of bravery.

Of course, they didn't forget to extend an invitation to Yun Feng to study at the Spirit City. After all, he showed potential.

To be honest, Yun Feng was tempted!

But after careful consideration, he politely declined. He knew that even if he went to Spirit City, he wouldn't receive much in terms of resources or support. Additionally, he would face many restrictions. His unique advantages would only truly shine when he stayed close to main characters like Tang San.

So, it wasn't worth it.

Besides, Yun Feng still had thoughts of Ah Yin.

It's essential to prioritize things clearly, then act on them!

You can't change plans once they're set—that would be a waste of time and effort.

The deacon from Spirit Hall didn't push further and left quickly. Yun Feng had spent nearly six years at the Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy, and it was now close to the end of the school term. Graduation was just around the corner.

Over the past three years, Yun Feng's soul power had surged, reaching the maximum level for innate soul power, and even exceeding it slightly—a development Yun Feng could clearly sense.

Currently, Yun Feng's soul power had reached level 30. All he needed was one more soul ring to become a Soul Elder.

As everyone knows, advancing in soul power becomes harder as one progresses. So, Yun Feng was quite satisfied with his progress. Just a bit more, and he could start seeking Ah Yin to strengthen himself!

After taking a deep breath, Yun Feng watched Tang San—busy chatting with Xiao Wu—and chuckled coldly to himself. He sipped his hot water again.

Train harder, faster!

As for Tang San's approach to things, Yun Feng wasn't optimistic.

After all, he remembered a rule from his previous life:

Handsome, wealthy guys > persistent admirers > nice guys.

Nice guys come after the clingy ones, and Tang San was already playing the role of a "nice guy."

Yun Feng had no interest in being either of those last two. If anyone was going to be pursued, it should be him! And because the three of them were friends, they had discussed their futures.

Tang San wanted to graduate early with Xiao Wu. Yun Feng just smiled, understanding Tang San's real intentions, but didn't expose him.

Xiao Wu, however, didn't seem too happy when she looked at Yun Feng!

They still thought Yun Feng was the weak Soul Master he used to be, probably only just now reaching the threshold of becoming one.

Xiao Wu had wanted Yun Feng to come with them! To her, being with Yun Feng was much better than being with Tang San. Tang San was short, not particularly good-looking, and often smelled sweaty. Yun Feng, on the other hand, had spent six years building his body, eating well, and resting regularly. His soul power had improved, and his stature had grown—now standing at 1.79 meters tall, compared to Tang San's mere 1.6 meters.

Yun Feng was tall, handsome, and had an air of grace, like a celestial being. On top of that, Yun Feng could cook, even turning Xiao Wu's favorite carrots into countless delicious dishes.

So, Yun Feng held a large place in Xiao Wu's heart.

When Tang San suggested that he and Xiao Wu graduate early and go to the so-called Shrek Academy, Xiao Wu was reluctant.

She stared at Yun Feng for a long time, hoping he would object. But Yun Feng had his own goals and wouldn't change them for Xiao Wu.

He couldn't travel with them. First, he needed to find Ah Yin.

Then he would go to either Heaven Dou Royal Academy or Tianshui Academy, and Shrek Academy would be last on his list.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy had girls like Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling to woo. Plus, since it was near Heaven Dou City, he could also try flirting with Tang Yuehua and Liu Erlong.

He might even get his hands on some special herbs through Dugu Yan.

The challenge was that he wasn't a noble, so getting into Heaven Dou Academy might be tricky. But with his strength, it wouldn't be impossible—he just had to be smart and prove himself, maybe even join the Emperor Team.

As for Tianshui Academy, the possibilities were even more intriguing.

There were so many girls there! It wasn't just about the Tianshui Battle Team. The entire academy was filled with girls who had water and ice attributes.

It was the perfect place to start a harem, but there was one catch: Yun Feng was male, and Tianshui Academy had never accepted a male student before.

So, that would be difficult.

Finally, there was Shrek Academy—the easiest option with the highest rewards.

After all, Tang San and Xiao Wu would be there. Though the students at Shrek Academy were a strange bunch, being around them offered many advantages.

If it hadn't been for Tang San's advice and support over the years, Yun Feng wouldn't have advanced so quickly. No way was he going to give up on such a useful resource like Tang San anytime soon.

Yun Feng was stuck in a tough decision.

After a while, he shrugged it off.

"Whatever. Let them go wherever they want."

First, he would deal with Tang San's mother, then think about the rest!

Yun Feng also noticed Xiao Wu's desire to go with him. But because of Tang Hao, Yun Feng had to refuse her.

If Xiao Wu left with him, Tang Hao would never let her go unpunished!

And Tang San, always obedient to Grandmaster, was destined to go to Shrek Academy.

So, for the sake of his soul bones and rings, Yun Feng had to convince Xiao Wu to follow Tang San to Shrek! There was no other way.

As for whether Tang San had romantic intentions towards Xiao Wu? Yun Feng wasn't worried at all. Tang San would never succeed, especially with Yun Feng quietly causing trouble in the background. But Yun Feng knew he had to handle the situation carefully. If Tang Hao sensed anything amiss, it could bring fatal consequences.

Tang Hao wasn't a fool, after all.

Yun Feng prided himself on never underestimating others!

Reality was far more chaotic than any novel!

Those who thought others were fools would only end up becoming fools themselves.

Caught in this dilemma, Yun Feng finally decided to stop overthinking.

He casually said, "Xiao Wu, Tang San, you guys go ahead and report to Shrek Academy. I need to head back first and think things through. After all, I've never heard of this Shrek Academy before."

Xiao Wu looked disappointed but, for the sake of her future, nodded after thinking it over. Still, she said to Yun Feng, "Once you've made up your mind, you have to come find me!"
