Chapter 39 - Return to Shrek Academy

"As for the other drops of blood, I will use them to help you gain your Spirit Avatar. Do you have any blood from the Ice Empress?? because only using my blood might not be enough to do this"

"I had some stored away as I was using some to try and create any new recipes for alchemy but I was unable to have any progress in that direction so I have only a few drops of it after using most of it up"

"I only need a few drops so that's fine anyways, Tang San from now I have completely lost every part of my divinity and will be the same as the others who are living in your mind sea after you obtain my Spirit Ring during the Spirit Saint Stage and you will gain the position of the Ice Phoenix God after you reach the 100th rank and absorb my Ice God's Ring.

So you can now refer to me as Ice Phoenix or Phoenix Empress my actual name is Feng Hua (Phoenix Flower) the same way you refer to the rest of your companions"

"Then I'll call you Hua'er or Phoenix Empress from now on, is that all right??"

"I am fine with that…. Though it may be embarrassing I will bear with it"

"Well it's about time we leave, I'm sure that everyone would be worried by now if I don't go back"

…

He had reached Heaven Dou Imperial City after traveling for about 2 weeks it had been a long time since he had come back so he was roaming around the streets before he goes back to the Academy. He bought a few things to replenish his stock and a few cases to store the immortal herbs.

He finally reached the Academy and saw that instead of the Dragon Logo and the Blue Tyrant Academy signboard the Shrek Logo along with the Shrek Academy signboard were placed up.

He could only smile wryly when he thought of Flender taking over the Academy. Near the entrance he saw grandmaster walking around the campus, seeing Grandmaster he felt a little happy as it had been quite a while since he had last seen him.

When Grandmaster saw Tang San a smile formed on his face,

"Tang San its good to have you back, have you finished your training with Lord Dugu Bo??"

"Grandmaster, I have finished my training and Lord Dugu Bo has agreed to join Shrek Academy as its advisor for now"

"He agreed to become an advisor to our academy?? Why would he do that??"

"He had a few problems regarding his health and I was able to help him with it a little so he owed me a favor for which I asked him to become our advisor. This will also help us during the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament to avoid a few unnecessary problems"

"Well since it was he who owed you then it would be fine, always remember that even if one shows you kindness they may be doing so only for their own benefit and these type of people may even stab you in the back if it suits them"

"I will surely remember this master"

"Well let's leave all that aside, everyone was worried about you since the time you left for training under Dugu Bo so let's go meet them first"

Nodding his head he went along with Grandmaster.

After walking for a while he was able to find Xiao Wu beating up Hongjun and Oscar for some reason.

"It looks like your all doing well"

When they all heard Tang San's voice they were surprised and when they saw him coming along with Grandmaster they all felt happy. During their time in Shrek, they all had developed a deep bond among themselves and when Tang San had suddenly gone away they all felt a little sad but knowing that he was going to train with a Titled Douluo they all trained really hard in order to not be left behind by him.

This was especially true among the girls, they all had feelings for him so it was truly lonely for them.

Seeing Tang San, Xiao Wu ran straight towards him and hugged him,

"Brother San, I've missed you a lot"

"Haha, I've missed you too Xiao Wu"

"I missed you all, Oscar it looks like you've been working hard and Fatty….. well you've lost quite a lot of weight"

Ma Hongjun though hadn't been able to advance his rank he had been able to purify his Evil Fire to a great extent. He was mainly able to do so due to Grandmaster and Dean Flender's assistance, due to his hard work he was able to reduce quite a lot of weight. Though it wasn't at the level of being slim and fit he could now be considered plump which is a great improvement in his case.

"Haha, Tang San, its really good to have you back"

Tang San and the others heard a loud voice and saw Dai Mubai running towards them and hugged Tang San. He was truly happy to meet him after all this while, he had truly respected Tang San and treated him as his little brother, though he was the one being pampered in this relationship instead.

"Well I really missed you all and Brother Dai, if you don't let go of me then I may choke to death. I sense that all of you have really improved these days and a few of you are even about to breakthrough"
