Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

Compared to Tang San, Yu Xiaogang's expression was much worse.

He felt Liu Erlong had changed, no longer as considerate as before.

Even if his theory was wrong... at least don't say it in front of the children.

Doesn't he deserve some face?

Is it because they haven't seen each other for years and have grown distant?

In fact, Liu Erlong really hoped Yu Xiaogang would know shame and then have courage.

But now, this somewhat gloomy, even grim face, completely killed that hope.

She and he were already like strangers.

Tang San noticed the atmosphere was off, seeing Yu Xiaogang's deep expression, he sighed secretly.

After all, he was the teacher who gave him "fatherly love", and even if the theory had errors, how could six years of companionship change overnight?

So he changed the topic, pointing to the distant duel platform, and said, "The person fighting Zhu Zhuqing, is that the academy's teacher? Such a strong movement technique."

Actually, this wasn't entirely an attempt to divert attention, largely attracted by the movement technique of the woman dueling Zhu Zhuqing.

This world actually has movement techniques?

The speed of Zhu Zhuqing's team was as fast as lightning, even if he were to fight, executing Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he might not be an equal match.

But the woman across from her stood in place, just occasionally swaying, narrowly dodging Zhu Zhuqing's attacks, or sometimes jumping up to avoid Zhu Zhuqing's sweeping legs.

This was definitely manipulating her muscles to an incredibly deep level.

Surely a movement technique stronger than Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!

He wanted to learn it!

"That silver-haired woman, eighteen years old this year, is the... vice principal of Ming Lun?"

Liu Erlong thought for a moment and said, "Her martial spirit is Crystal Dragon, evolved from Green Scaled Snake, she's a Soul Douluo, certain to break through to Title Douluo before twenty."

"Green Scaled Snake? Is she the granddaughter of that person!?" Flander, with more informed news than Yu Xiaogang, suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, "She's already a Soul Douluo, and still vice-principal of the academy and teaches students personally?"

Liu Erlong said, "The academy doesn't lack teachers, but the principal and vice principal, including Dugu Bo, all teach at the academy."

"This is one of the reasons why Ming Lun can command many academies."

"The guidance of peerless Douluo is enough for most commoners to benefit for a lifetime."

Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth, speechless, but inwardly a bit unconvinced: that Monkey Mind, merely high and mighty, cannot compare to him.

In the dueling field, Dugu Yan allowed Zhu Zhuqing to pause and encouraged, "Not bad, faster than last time, and your soul power is almost reaching level forty."

"But don't be proud, focus on increasing physical and spiritual training, after level forty, I'll find you a soul ring of ten thousand years... do you have the confidence to bear it then?"

Zhu Zhuqing suppressed excitement, finally nodded respectfully, "Thank you, teacher."

Evidently, Zhu Zhuqing had already apprenticed under Dugu Yan.

"Don't keep calling me 'teacher'." Dugu Yan put her arm around Zhu Zhuqing's shoulder, jokingly said, "I'm only a few years older than you, in class it's fine, off class, relax and just call me Sister Yan."

"Sister Yan." Zhu Zhuqing blushed and called softly.

"Good, that's how it should be, and your temperament is a bit like a cat... not that coolness is bad, but you need to control your martial spirit, not let your spirit's traits affect you."

Dugu Yan advised, "Although harmony between person and martial spirit can unleash stronger power, don't be controlled by it."

"Mind, heart, these two are fundamental."

After speaking, Dugu Yan turned to other students and said, "Alright, class dismissed, don't go playing too wildly after class."

The students dispersed in groups.

Dugu Yan led Zhu Zhuqing through the hallway, saw Liu Erlong, and greeted her, "Dean Er Long, long time no see."

Liu Erlong didn't back down, walked toward Dugu Yan and even puffed out her chest, displaying her grandness, "Hm, things have been going well lately, often receiving guidance from Sun Ming."

"Really?" Dugu Yan smiled, hands on hips, revealing eight terrifying soul rings with three purple and five black.

Especially the last three soul rings had a hint of red.

Those were extremely close to hundred-thousand-year soul rings!

Liu Erlong wasn't outdone either, revealing two yellow, two purple, four black, eight soul rings.

The final eighth soul ring was black and red, clearly from a soul beast extremely close to a hundred-thousand-year.

"Er Long reached Soul Douluo!" Yu Xiaogang muttered, feeling even more inferior... but thinking Liu Erlong liked her brought a different feeling inside.

Liu Erlong had no time to contemplate Yu Xiaogang's thoughts, clashing aura with Dugu Yan, creating gusts within a hundred meters around.

This was intentional control; otherwise, within a thousand meters, nothing would survive.

The surrounding students were already familiar with this, kept a safe distance.

While the Shrek group was unlucky, several Soul Saints and Soul Emperors released martial spirits, struggled to maintain stance, almost breaking.

"This is what a Soul Douluo is? So powerful!" Tang San exclaimed in shock.

"It shouldn't be!" Yu Xiaogang had the worst fate, falling to the ground, "A Soul Douluo shouldn't have such aura! This is comparable to a Title Douluo!"

He was the son of Yu Yuanzhen, had witnessed his father's might.

It shouldn't be this strong!

"Humph!"

Liu Erlong was the first to withdraw her aura, while Dugu Yan also retracted hers at the last moment, not harming Shrek and the others, only pausing her gaze on Xiao Wu for an instant.

"Old woman, who are these people? They don't look like academy students," Dugu Yan asked with a smile.

Within Ming Lun Academy, both male and female students have corresponding uniforms; boys wear black with silver patterns, and girls wear white with gold patterns.

In Ming Lun, other academies can slightly modify them, but they mainly follow these two styles.

But Tang San and the others—

Their clothes were all different, colorful, looking like poor relatives coming to join Liu Erlong.

If not the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, then it must be the former Golden Iron Triangle.

At this thought, Dugu Yan glanced at Flander and Yu Xiaogang, a slight smile on her lips: "Even if you didn't tell me, I could have guessed. It looks like the former Golden Iron Triangle isn't doing well in business."

"No need for you to worry," Liu Erlong replied lightly.

"Whatever." Dugu Yan shrugged, letting Zhu Zhuqing follow her.

Only Dai Mubai stepped forward, saying, "Well, Zhuqing, I—"

"I'm not familiar with you, so don't speak so intimately."

Zhu Zhuqing's voice was icy, with no emotion or impatience, "If you join Ming Lun, we can be classmates in the future."

Dai Mubai stood there dumbfounded, Zhu Zhuqing walked past him without noticing.

"Snap out of it, boss Dai," Ma Hongjun patted his shoulder with a knowing look, "It's just a girl, after all. We have a whole forest, why fixate on a single blade of grass?"

Dai Mubai didn't respond to Ma Hongjun, he just fell silent once more.

Oscar wisely kept quiet, just looking at the scenery around.

Liu Erlong glanced at Dai Mubai, then at Zhu Zhuqing's back following Dugu Yan into the distance. With their surnames and Zhu Zhuqing's Ghostly Cat martial soul, she had already guessed something.

But she said nothing, only commanded, "Let's keep moving."

The group continued toward the Extreme Fire Academy, and along the way, Flander couldn't help but ask, "Er Long, is your relationship with that Dugu Yan not good?"

If so, every encounter in the future might end with them, and their students, getting a good beating.

That terrifying soul ring ratio made him uneasy.

"We were just play fighting earlier, not serious. We even bathe together often, it's just that she's not as big as me," Liu Erlong said nonchalantly, making Flander sigh in relief.

Not only because he didn't have to worry about the future, but more importantly, Er Long's personality hadn't changed much, still as straightforward as ever.

But Liu Erlong's next words left Flander and Yu Xiaogang stunned.

"As for another relationship, I'd say it's more like a romantic rival."

Flander sucked in a cold breath, "A romantic rival?"

Yu Xiaogang's voice trembled, "A romantic rival!"

Obviously, Dugu Yan couldn't have any interest in him, a middle-aged man.

Then—

Liu Erlong had fallen for someone else!

Why?

Yu Xiaogang felt very conflicted and was speechless.

"Er Long, who have you fallen for?" Flander sensed Yu Xiaogang's body trembling and asked with some hesitation. Find this chapter's source on MV-LEM-PYR.

Though it's true Liu Erlong was not at fault, she was never really possible with Xiaogang, but… but...

They should at least have been consulted, right?

This was too sudden.

"Of course, it's Xin Yuan," Liu Erlong said frankly, also intending to completely shatter Yu Xiaogang's last feeble hopes.

For some reason, after clearing her mind, she found Yu Xiaogang's weakness deeply repulsive.

Yu Xiaogang felt as if he were struck by lightning, frozen on the spot.

"Uh..."

Flander gave a strange look, "Er Long, about Xin Yuan, I know roughly that he's only seventeen, maybe eighteen now."

"Isn't the age difference too big?"

"You're over forty, almost fifty, you could be his mother or even grandmother..."

Liu Erlong snorted lightly, saying calmly, "Do I look like I'm fifty?"

Flander: "..."

Was it a question of appearance?

It was an age question!

Or perhaps, over the years, Liu Erlong had bottled it up to the point of insanity?

"With my talent, reaching Title Douluo is no problem, level ninety-nine isn't out of reach either," Liu Erlong continued, "An ultimate Douluo has a millennium lifespan, a few decades are just a blip."

Flander had nothing to say, but had sympathy for Xiaogang—

Throughout these years, Xiaogang had been running away. Now that Er Long found someone she liked, it might even be a relief for Xiaogang.

However, what Flander didn't know was that all Yu Xiaogang felt was heartbreak.

He felt Liu Erlong had betrayed him.

Just like Bibi Dong in the past.
