Zhang Yong turned around and was about to leave before he was pulled from behind. He looked behind him and cast his gaze on Yuan Ling.
"What is there?"
"How about you come with me, just for a little while?"
Zhang Yong looked at Yuan Ling in surprise and then said:
"I have to go to training, I shouldn't fall behind."
Yuan Ling looked at Zhang Yong with a kind of stubborn spark in her eyes
"You're always training, it's okay if you rest a little, let's go to town."
Zhang Yong raised his eyes to the sky and thought, 'Even if he told me this, I don't have anything to do. Thinking about it, since I came to this world, I have only thought about cultivation.'
Zhang Yong sighed deeply and said:
"Okay"
Yuan Ling smiled comfortably as if she had won a difficult round
The two walked together, until they left the academy grounds and headed to the nearest city of Soto
The two of them smoothly entered the city walls, and began to wander through the streets
Yuan Ling said as she walked beside Zhang Yong:
"We haven't had a good look at the city since we last came."
"It's only been a week at most since that, that's not a lot."
Yuan Ling looked at Zhang Yong with a slight frown on her face
"Can't you smile a little?"
Zhang Yong's eyebrows rose, "Don't I usually smile enough?"
She shook her head softly, "You do that when you're with others."
Zhang Yong paused for a moment, then turned around and found no one
'Was it my imagination?'
After reaching the Soul Ancestor level, his senses became sharper, and his awareness of his surroundings was higher. Since entering the city, he felt some eyes on him. They did not have any killing or harming intent so he did not pay attention to them.
The two of them continued their walk through the city, passing through crowded markets, sellers of accessories, jewelry, clothing, and whatever else soul masters and ordinary people might require, after shopping here and there, Yuan Ling bought a flower-shaped hairpin and looked at Zhang Yong and said:
"How does it look on me?"
Zhang Yong's eyes settled for a moment on the pin and then on Yuan Ling's face and said
"I don't know much about accessories, but I think it's good enough."
Yuan Ling's eyes widened slightly, surprised that Zhang Yong had made such a good comment for the first time
She ran her hands through her hair and put it down
The two continued their walk and entered a restaurant and sat at a table next to the window
Yuan Ling said:
"I asked for something first. I remembered something I had to do."
Yuan Ling left through the door of the restaurant leaving out the last sentence
Zhang Yong didn't think too much about it. He just asked for a glass of juice, as he was thinking about something else. He raised his level.
In terms of matter, it seemed relatively easy, but if he raised his level through meditation it might take a long time, so his only option was to hunt soul beasts. Now with his new soul skill it was possible for him to quickly reach the Dou Star Forest, covering a hundred kilometers with all his might. What he has is easy, but the fluctuations of spiritual energy will reveal his matter, especially with the presence of spirit sages in the academy
So his only chance was to head there when one of the students reached level thirty
Suddenly there was a noise in the place, interrupting Zhang Yong's thoughts. He looked at the source of the sound. Three people were standing in front of the restaurant owner near the table. The most eye-catching was the person standing in the middle with a huge body and a strong back.
"Respected Soul Master, please calm down, it's just that the coins you paid are not enough."
The shop owner spoke respectfully as he bowed, he was just an ordinary person who didn't stand a chance against a spirit master
The huge-bodied Soul Master spoke:
"What, are you worried we won't pay you?"
The restaurant owner quickly said:
"No, sir, it's just that the value of what you have eaten so far has reached five gold coins."
The three were immediately shocked upon hearing the price, but they did not deny it. They turned to each other before the gaze of the person standing to the right of the huge person fell on Zhang Yong.
Noticing this, Zhang found it nothing but annoying. 'I swear, I'm not in the mood for any of this nonsense.'
He approached the huge person and seemed to whisper in his ears
In the next second, the group of three approached Zhang Yong and stood next to him, the huge person said:
"Hey, give me whatever money you have."
Naoto gave him a half look and said:
"what are you talking about"
"I've seen you in the Great Soul Arena before, you should have earned twenty coins from your fights, it's impossible for you to spend that amount so quickly."
The large person looked annoyed, but Zhang Yong only maintained his calm. He didn't mind causing annoyance, then replied:
"It is true that I got it, but I already paid it to my school."
The huge man was a little angry, looking like he was preparing to fight at any moment. Zhang Yong could tell that his character was serious as the huge person said:
"So what, even if you pay it you still have money."
Naoto sighed in his mind and thought:
'In the name of all things, this is exactly what I'm cultivating in secret, are you a young master you bastard?'
The big man was already aware that Naoto was in a school based on his age, even if Soul Master schools were expensive, it wasn't to the point of paying twenty gold coins at once.
Zhang Yong leaned on the table and let out a quiet snort:
"Oh, this is so annoying."
Annoyance appeared on his face and he could no longer hear this man's nonsense as the blood began to boil in his veins
The man moved with an angry voice as he put his arm on Zhang Yong's shoulder, "What did you say, you little bastard?"
Unable to control himself anymore, zhang yong stood up and said "Listen, you little piece of shit, I'm going to ************** you and shove it into your ******* and wipe out your entire bloodline."
The big man looked at him angrily and veins appeared on his face. He put his hand on top of zhang yong's head and held him tight. His arm was bigger than zhang head. His face was red with anger.
"I'll show you, you son of a bitch."
Zhang yong grabbed the hand that held his head by the wrist and began to squeeze it until it squeezed it and broke his arm.
The big man screamed in pain and knelt on the ground:
"i will erase your pathetic existence"
Zhang Yong placed his foot above the huge head and pinned it to the ground
He grabbed his other arm and broke it completely
The big man couldn't react because the pain was too much. His breathing was heavy and his face began to turn blue. Zhang Yong probably didn't intend to kill him. He was probably just going to destroy his body and every bone in him.
"Come on, show me your miserable courage a moment ago."
He pulled the big man by the neck and held him down
The man's body was larger than Zhang Yong's, yet he was dangling in the hands of a less powerful person. The restaurant workers and customers could only watch in horror.
Then Zhang Yong started slapping him
"Come on, fight back."
Without realizing it, Zhang Yong started to raise the corners of his mouth into an elegant, devilish smile
Slap!×50
Continue slapping him until his face swells
Suddenly someone stopped his hand and quickly turned around
"Who did-"
When he turned around, Yuan Ling had grabbed his arm
"That's enough, he's already passed out, let's go from here."
Zhang Yong stood there motionless for a moment as he looked at Yuan Ling's hand on his arm, then let go
The huge man fell to the ground, his face swollen and disfigured.
Zhang Yong looked at the hand that was holding the man. Zhang Yong had no thirst for violence. He never took risks if it could end in a peaceful way except if the system requested it. It was like he was no longer himself and he began to realize what the Ox had said
Without looking at the big man, he and Yuan Ling left the place after putting money on the table to compensate for the damages
The two started walking without saying a word
Naoto said:
"About what-"
Yuan Ling interrupted:
"You know, I've never seen you that way before."
Naoto swallowed for a moment. He wanted to explain the matter, but words failed him. All this time, Yuan Ling's back was towards Zhang Yong, then she turned around and continued:
"A lot has happened since we joined the academy, but it's okay, if I don't accept your sides as they are then how can I call myself your sister."
Yuan Ling's words left Zhang Yong speechless. He never expected her to understand him so well
Zhang Yong couldn't help but sigh inwardly, 'I'm a big scoundrel, aren't I?'
(I agree with you on that)
Naoto tried to respond, but the words felt heavy in his throat. Then she said:
"This reminds me"
Yuan Ling looked at her void bracelet, which was like an independent but limited space in which things could be stored
She took out a small box, and when she opened it, it contained two pieces that complemented each other, a full moon and a crescent moon
"I bought this as a souvenir."
Naoto extended his arm and grabbed the item, it was a necklace, then Zhang Yong raised his head towards Yuan Ling and said:
"What about them?"
Yuan Ling's face tensed for a moment and a cold sweat appeared on her face
"W-What are you talking about?"
Zhang Yong turned to a previous corner, Xiao Wu and Ning Rong Rong were standing watching, hiding.
"So how do you two explain this?"
Zhang Yong looked at the two at the same time, Xiao Wu scratched the back of her head and said:
"It was Rong Rong's idea."
Ning Rong Rong quickly turned towards Xiao Wu and said
"What?! It's your idea!"
Zhang Yong sighed deeply and said:
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to deal with this, let's go back."
With those words the four walked back to Shrek Academy
As soon as they returned ,Zhang Yong separated from them, and as he walked away to a place a little closer, he sat under a tree and began to meditate quietly.
What had just happened was something unexpected from him. Even he himself had not expected this. He thought that perhaps it had to do with some trigger, some feeling. Was it pride? No, Zhang Yong wasn't the proud, bragging type, was it anger? This is a possibility too But he wasn't sure, he couldn't tell anyone about his condition and therefore no one could help him, plus as the ox said, this was a power that shouldn't exist in this world
So no one could know it. As he contemplated, he noticed something. His heart was tainted, as if a dark aura surrounded it.
But it seemed that it could not get out, and this was most likely thanks to the ox
After some time he opened his eyes"The power of a hundred thousand year old beast truly could not be underestimated , Although I have reached the first level of the Ice Law, I feel that its power can help me advance to the next level of understanding."
He stand up and start walking a bit before seeing Oscar from a far place , immediately he lift his hand and wave it towards him
"Zhang yong"Oscar said with a little enthusiasm
After Zhang Yong got close enough, he spoke, "Yo!, what are you doing here?"
Oscar put his hand on Zhang Yong's shoulder and smiled, "I wanted to thank you. It seems that Rong Rong doesn't mind being close to her, so she's getting close in return."
Zhang Yong smiled happily, "Isn't that good? I paved the way for you, now you have to deal with it normally, be yourself, plus she's into you bro!"
"However, it remains thanks to you."oscar said With gratitude
Zhao Yong wrapped his arm around Oscar and laughed a little, "Come on, you should give yourself some credit"
Zhang yong thinked to himself 'Even if I didn't intervene, the result would be the same.'
The two continued to walk together, chatting and laughing as they walked together
