Chapter 28: The Private Chat Function
The next day.
Su Yan hadn't even fully woken up when Wang Sheng started shouting outside his door.
"Su Yan, you didn't cultivate very late again last night, did you?"
Rubbing his eyes, Su Yan looked at Wang Sheng in confusion.
"Why are you calling me this early?"
Wang Sheng sighed helplessly.
"You really forgot what day it is today?"
Su Yan shook his head.
These past few days have been nothing but cultivation and dealing with the chat group. How was he supposed to remember dates?
Wang Sheng rubbed his temples, exhausted.
"Today is our final day of schooling. After the competition, our graduating class officially completes our studies."
Hearing this, Su Yan casually asked, "So after this, we'll be going our separate ways and enrolling in higher-ranked soul master academies?"
"That's right."
Wang Sheng nodded.
Su Yan suddenly felt cheerful. No wonder Ning Rongrong was planning to run away from home yesterday, and Zhu Zhuqing was also preparing to leave her family—the timeline had already arrived.
Good, good, good.
'Little kitty, I'm coming!'
Just as Su Yan felt delighted, he suddenly sensed hostility. He looked over and saw Tang San standing not far away, staring at him coldly.
"Tang San?"
Su Yan frowned, confused. He hadn't even spoken to the guy.
Why did he look so hostile?
Tang San's voice was icy.
"Su Yan, what did you say to Xiao Wu? Why has she been ignoring me these past few days?"
"I have no idea!"
Su Yan stared at Tang San in genuine bewilderment. Had he said anything bad about Tang San in front of Xiao Wu?
No… right?
Oh, wait.
Xiao Wu must have learned about Tang Hao's existence, and her impression of Tang San worsened because of it.
"Heh."
Tang San cast him a cold glance, said nothing more, and walked off.
After Tang San left, Wang Sheng lowered his voice.
"Su Yan, you should be careful today. I think Tang San will definitely try to teach you a lesson in the competition because of Xiao Wu."
"Just admit defeat early if you meet him. It's not like the ranking matters. Higher academies look at soul power level, not placements."
Hearing that, Su Yan smiled, patting Wang Sheng's shoulder.
"It's fine."
"If he wants to teach me a lesson, then I'll make sure he learns how high the heavens truly are."
Wang Sheng shook his head.
"Still, be careful. I feel like… aside from Sister Xiao Wu, no one in the academy can beat Tang San."
Su Yan nodded slightly and got dressed while chatting casually.
"Wang Sheng, which advanced soul master academy are you planning to apply for?"
Wang Sheng gave a bitter smile.
"I want to go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but you know how it is. They only accept nobles. If you're a commoner, you have to reach rank thirty-first."
Hearing this, Su Yan chuckled.
"You sure dare to dream big!"
"Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Why not go straight to Sky Water Academy instead?"
Wang Sheng couldn't help but laugh.
"If they let me into Sky Water Academy, I'd be willing to become a Titled Douluo on the spot!"
"How about I make you the Pope of Spirit Hall instead?"
After getting dressed, the two left the dormitory while joking around.
Outside.
The little rabbit had been waiting by the road for a long time. Ever since she met Su Yan's relative, Uncle Chen, Xiao Wu had become too embarrassed to barge in again.
"Su Yan!"
Xiao Wu waved at them from the front.
The two walked over.
Xiao Wu immediately reached out and took the little monkey from Su Yan's arms, then asked:
"Su Yan, once the graduation ends today, we can finally leave the academy. Where are you planning to go? When are you leaving?"
Su Yan looked at her and replied,
"Tonight or tomorrow, I need to take care of something first. As for where I'll go afterward… I haven't decided yet."
"Ah?"
Hearing Su Yan's words, Xiao Wu's heart trembled, her expression turning complicated.
Originally, she and Tang San had agreed to go to Shrek Academy together.
But now, Xiao Wu no longer wants to go to Shrek Academy. She wanted to see where Su Yan planned to go, and she wanted to follow him to study.
However…
She knew Tang Hao was lurking in the shadows. She had no choice—she had to follow Tang San to Shrek Academy.
With hopeful eyes, Xiao Wu asked softly,
"Why don't you… Why don't you come with us to Shrek Academy?"
"Tang San and the Grandmaster said Shrek only accepts 'monsters.' It should be a really powerful academy."
"Shrek?"
Hearing that name, Su Yan silently ridiculed it in his heart.
If you're afraid of trouble, you're not a good soul master, right? Best of the best, huh?
Twenty years and only forty-two students, half of whom didn't even graduate.
A proper clown academy.
No, wait…
Originally, he was at rank twenty-eight. After getting the three divine arts, he rose to rank thirty-four. With the god-given soul ring, he reached rank thirty-eight—and that wasn't even counting the extra level of stored soul power.
At this rate, he'd probably enroll in Shrek and graduate within a few days.
Su Yan replied calmly:
"You should go with Tang San to Shrek first. After I settle my business, I'll head to Suotuo City. I'll come find you then."
"As for whether I'll join Shrek Academy… I'll decide when the time comes."
His original plan was simple: after graduating from Nuoding Academy, head to Heaven Dou City, try to get in touch with Dugu Yan, and intercept the immortal herbs.
If that didn't work, then he'd gamble and go serve Qian Renxue as an advisor, using his knowledge of the plot.
Honestly, it was risky. Qian Renxue was also a walking disaster and might not be reliable.
But what choice did he have? There wasn't a single normal person in the entire Douluo Continent.
As for Bibi Dong? She was out of the question. Even retiring in Holy Soul Village was safer than relying on her.
Now that his innate talent had skyrocketed, he absolutely couldn't be associated with Spirit Hall. Otherwise, the "mouse" would immediately lock onto him.
Of course—
With his cheat now active, everything became easier. First, rescue the little kitty, then contact Dugu Yan—eat enough immortal herbs, and he'd have more than enough strength to protect himself.
With a cheat in hand, even Douluo 2 and Douluo 3's God-King Tang could be beaten until he screamed, "Daddy."
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: First thing after waking up—run away from home!]
[Carrot Lover: ???]
[Yan Zi is Not Swallow: Su Yan, hurry up and feed us melons!]
[My Surname is Not Yu: Old hag, are you awake yet?]
[Bibi Dong: Just you wait.]
[Cat in the Shadows: I'm also leaving tonight. Su Yan?]
[Su Yan: I'm here. Double-tap my name to open a private chat. If you need anything, talk to me directly.]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Wait, what?!]
A private message popped up.
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Su Yan-gege, I'm running away from home too… Can you come pick me up?]
[Su Yan: I really can't.]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Then tell me where you are! I'll come find you!]
[Su Yan: Follow your heart—your wish will guide your steps. Just walk out the door. We'll run into each other.]
[Carrot Lover: Su Yan, I have a friend also named Su Yan. Are you two the same person?]
[Su Yan: Definitely not.]
[Group Member Number Nine: Only we can see this conversation, right?]
[Su Yan: Yes.]
[Bibi Dong: Why can I only private chat with you but not with anyone else?]
[Su Yan: Obviously. If I let you talk to them alone, wouldn't you just sell them off?]
[Bibi Dong: You're going too far.]
[Su Yan: Too far? You, Bibi Dong, are the number one dangerous individual in the entire Douluo Continent. Who understands you better than me?]
