Chapter 46 - 46: Star Dou Great Forest(1)

Shrek academy, early morning.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath and, at the same time, absorbed purple qi into his eyes.

An entire night had passed since he and the new shrek students participated in a one and two-team matches.

After Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing finished their match, Xun Er and Ma Xiaotao had started theirs next.

It was a one sided massacre. Xiao Yan had felt chills running down his spine when he remembered that scene. He witnessed the two young ladies of shrek, pissed off, burning their opponents asses and family jewels because said opponents were being both degenerate pervert' lolicons, they were f.u.c.k.i.n.g twenty plus years old men and they were openly flirting with twelve and thirteen year old girls! As well as being s.e.xiest.

Xiao Yan could firmly say, that he saw a picture of hell at that moment. No matter if your all powerful or even a god, nothing can save you from women's scorn, especially ones that can burn your 'little brother' to ashes. He was determined to never pissed off those girls too much.

He wasn't the only one, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Tang San and all the men in the audience and those wanting to participate decided to as well.

Since the rules only state that you cannot kill or cutting one's limb off in a sparring match, Xun Er and Ma Xiaotao were safe from being punished from the great spirit arena's management.

After that whole debacle, everyone returned back to the academy. Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing went back first, both looking serious, Ma Hongjun soon followed after them as he wanted to ask Dai Mubai about something. While Tang San, Xiao Wu and Xun Er trailed after them after Xiao Yan said he would return later on.

Why? Well, because he went to received the 100k spirit gold coins from the two matches he won tonight. Oh yeah! From a mere 20k to a 100k!

Though sadly, Xiao Yan had to spend more than half of his earnings on some alchemy ingredients and other materials.

"Hoo..." Xiao Yan let out a breath out of his lips as he circulated his newly fused cultivation method within his body. The numbing feeling, a side effect of using the Three Thousand Lightning Movement when his body wasn't more accustomed to the usage of such dangerous technique, was slowly fading away.

In Flame Emperor's life, he didn't have this sort of problem. In that life, despite practising the technique for the first time, he didn't have this kind of affect on his body.

It might have something to do with the fact Xiao Yan uses a different kind of energy to cultivate compared to Flame Emperor, or how he used the lightning attribute of a heavenly flame to execute the movement technique.

Nonetheless, Xiao Yan's body is feeling a bit stiff and rigid. He was sure that if he didn't have a tyrannical body, he would have been in bed once more, unable to move a single muscle.

"Yeah, next time, try to do a couple practices with the techniques I give you before using them first hand in a battle." Flame Emperor casually said. Sitting, cross-legged, in front of Xiao Yan. His chin on his right palm and his right arm's elbow on his right t.h.i.g.h.

Xiao Yan let out a soft sigh. Opening his eyes to give a small glare at his other self, after an entire night of good night sleep, thanks to some sleeping pills he had in his storage ring to ignore the prickling feeling in his body.

Although he had gotten his memories, experiences, and help from his past self called the Flame Emperor, that doesn't mean he trusts him yet.

There's just something in Xiao Yan's gut that tells him that there's more than meets the eye about his past, something that has got to do when the Great Thousand World and Yimo war.

Xiao Yan asked,

"Why did I received the Three Thousand Lightning Movement technique first than the others like; Octane Blast, Eagle Wings, Exploding Steps, Lion Tiger Gold Shattering Roar, and Angry Buddha Lotus Flame?" He was both curious and filled with doubt as he stare at Flame Emperor's eyes.(1)

"Well you wanted to train in your sword skills right? Then Octane Blast was out, as this is a close quarter martial arts technique. Eagle wings, we need a soul of a winged spirit beast so you can use it. Exploding steps? The Three Thousand Lightning Movement is much more versatile and faster than such a thing."

"Lion Tiger Gold Shattering Roar, pfft, trust me, if I gave you this and you tried it out in the arena, you would be humiliated for life. As for the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame? You don't need a technique to use it. I have used Angry Buddha Lotus Flame for years and that experience of me using it will just naturally come to you some day, probably a week later on. But even then, did you really want to destroy the entire colosseum?" Flame Emperor said as he continued to stare deadpanned at Xiao Yan, who now looked down scratching the back of his head, looking slightly embarrassed.

"Well, when you put it that way..." Xiao Yan muttered and then turned silent.

Flame Emperor shook his head and let out a soft sigh.

"That was why the Three Thousand Lightning Movement technique was what I had chose for you to use. Even though I don't use a sharp sword in the past, the Heavy Xuan Ruler was a dull greatsword, but I know speed is very important for any swordsman to have and use. Every swing and thrust with your blade towards your enemies would be useless if said enemies would just dodge, block or counter your attacks." Xiao Yan nodded in understanding and gave Flame Emperor a thumbs up.

"I understand." Flame Emperor curved a smile, a nostalgic feeling rose within him, glancing to the side, his smile slightly trembled.

'Even in another life, you would always watch over me teacher...' He thought, various emotions raise within his soul, with both joy and sadness the most prominent.

Flame Emperor turned towards Xiao Yan and simply said.

"Alright then, I'll be going back in the mindscape. Igneel wanted to play some games and annoyed the heck of me to play with him." Shaking his head, he disappeared.

He gotten up, went to the cafeteria, encountered Tang San, Xiao Wu, Xun Er, the Ma siblings, Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai, and a very exhausted and teary eyes Ning Rongrong.

Breakfast was tense and silent. Though it wasn't long until Ma Hongjun asked where Oscar was at that the atmosphere changed, though it was still kinda awkward. Especially with Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong.

Although Xiao Yan wasn't there to see it, but he knew that Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing got into a fight, which the former got taunted by Ning Rongrong and lashed out to. With the said girl showing more of her true colors by ordering Tang San to kill Dai Mubai.

Though, Xiao Yan found it kinda strange that Zhu Zhuqing was glancing at himself from time to time with a contemplating expression but he just shrugged it off.

After breakfast, they all gathered, standing straight, in front of Flender.

Although he noticed he noticed the strange atmosphere between the students, he didn't say anything about it, instead, he asked about a certain missing student.

"Where's Oscar?"

In short summary; Tang San told the dean that Oscar was still cultivating but was then interrupted by the person they were talking about, who was dancing around like an idiot. Then they all found out that he had brokethrough to the thirtieth rank, then the students were forced to eat his spirit sausages, with Ning Rongrong taking the initiative, which then Xiao Yan followed suit and then the others.

Zhu Zhuqing was hesitant at first but when she glanced at Xiao Yan, she no longer hesitated. Which caused the latter to be a bit confused as he remembered that she had to be encouraged by Flender to eat the sausage.

'Oh well. That just means she has more will and grit than her original.' Xiao Yan shrugged as he chewed on a another sausage.

Moments later... The students were then informed by Flender that they would all go to the Great Star Dou Forest for a third spirit ring to both Oscar and Xiao Yan.

A/N: Busy as heck with modules so no extra chapter. If you spot any misspellings and grammatical errors, just comment.

(1) A/N: At this point, he still doesn't clearly remember it all. He can only currently recall the fights he had in the past, use of his techniques and alchemy but never really important characters yet. He remembers the Xiao Family, Xun Er, Yao Lao, and Nalan Yanran. But the faces of anyone else is still a blur to him.
