Chapter 854: I Don’t Approve Your Request For The Soul Separation Fruit

TL: BluVerse

Next came the time for harvest. They approached the damaged warship of their enemy, dismantled the outer shell, and began searching for rare metals inside.

Half an hour later.

"Were going to be rich! How much did this guy loot?"

As they counted their gains, the quantity of various precious and rare metals they obtained far exceeded the total of their previous ten raids combined. Especially since their warship sustained little damage this time, only some energy loss.

"It seems like we robbed a formidable opponent. They must have accumulated a fortune from countless raids. The enemy we faced just now was probably only at 30% of their full strength. If they were at full strength, it would have been very terrifying." Lan Xuanyu analyzed rationally.

Tang Yuge had already returned at this point. After the escape pod ejected to a safe distance, she switched to the Sky Wing Mecha and returned as a fighter jet.

"Retreat!" Lan Xuanyu gave the order to retreat without hesitation.

"Boss, we're retreating after just one battle?" Ding Zhuohan was a bit unwilling. Their energy reserves were still over 80%, and they could handle another two tough battles.

Lan Xuanyu smiled slightly and said, "Wasnt our opponent strong? And in the end, didn't they still get destroyed? If we want to fight, it's not difficult, but let's send our resources back first and then come back. Although the process takes time, these fruits of victory are enough for us to upgrade our warship and buy some antimatter missiles. We can't take risks."

"Steady!" Bing Tianliang gave Lan Xuanyu a thumbs up.

With a unanimous opinion, they returned!

This was one of the shortest times they had engaged in actual combat in the Chaos Star Field. The other few times they returned quickly after being crushed in the early stages.

But this was also their biggest harvest in history. However, recalling the ruthlessness and decisiveness of the enemy warship just now still made them shudder. If the other side had been aware of their unique combat style, it would have been difficult for them to win. Only by mobilizing all thirty-two sky wings as fighter jets would they have a chance. And this was their trump card.

Returning to the base and recharging the warship, Lan Xuanyu and his colleagues discussed and decided not to continue to the Chaos Star Field. Instead, they took advantage of this harvest to summarize and prepare for further improvements to their warship, mainly in the improvement of the thrusters and the provision of better weapons. They aimed to enhance the power of their warship.

After finishing all the tasks, it was already dusk when Lan Xuanyu left the simulation r atoom. At this moment, he received a notification from Ying Luohong, asking him to go to the Dean's office.

Today's warship combat wasnt very exhausting, and Lan Xuanyu arrived at the Outer Court Dean's office in high spirits.

There was only Ying Luohong in the office. After Lan Xuanyu saluted, Ying Luohong asked him to sit on the side.

"I asked you to come because there's something you need to prepare for. You should know about the Spirit Pagoda and the spot has been reserved for you. This time, you will go as a Tang Secs disciple."

Lan Xuanyu's eyes lit up. "When?"

Ying Luohong said, "It will be in about half a month. The specific time will depend on notifications from the Inner Court and Tang Sect." She wouldn't tell Lan Xuanyu that this was a joint operation.

"Something you need to be aware of is that you can do whatever you want inside the Spirit Ascension Platform, but as soon as you feel you can finish, leave the tower immediately and return to the academy without delay. If there are any unexpected situations, there will be someone to pick you up, so don't worry."

Lan Xuanyu was taken aback, "Is there any danger?"

Ying Luohong gave him a deep look and said, "Whether there is danger or not is not for me to decide, it's up to you. It depends on what you can do."

"Ahem." Lan Xuanyu thought, "Why do I feel like a major villain?"

"Alright, that's all I have to tell you. Prepare in advance," said Ying Luohong.

"Yes," Lan Xuanyu stood up and saluted before preparing to leave.

"Wait," Ying Luohong suddenly called out to him.

"Dean, do you have any other orders?"

After hesitating for a moment, Ying Luohong said, "How is your teacher Tang doing recently?"

Lan Xuanyu was taken aback and said, "Pretty good. I haven't seen him much. He doesn't really teach me anymore, saying he has taught us everything we need to know. When I have questions, I just contact him directly. He's probably still doing research at the Tang Sect most of the time."

"Oh. I see, you can go now."

After seeing Lan Xuanyu off, Ying Luohong suddenly felt agitated and stood up, walking to the window. Scenes of unbearable memories flooded her mind.

She could never forget that day, a day that struck her deeply.

Her best friend was caught in the arms of her husband, in her bed, caught red-handed by her.

For Ying Luohong at that time, everything that happened that day was like a bolt of lightning in the middle of a storm. She was so angry and upset that she spat up blood and fainted.

It was also because of that incident that Wang Tianyu almost killed Tang Zhenhua.

Her good friend was once a genius of the Inner Court. However, she left in dismay and disappeared because of the incident. Tang Zhenhua never spoke of why it happened. He didn't leave Shrek Academy but was expelled from the Inner Court to the Outer Court. He lost the chance to become a god-ranked soul master, which he had a good chance of achieving. He was also devastated and changed his focus from being a top-tier Duo Mecha Master to studying Space Warfare.

Many years had passed since that incident, but for Ying Luohong, everything that happened that day was still vivid in her mind.

After all these years, every time she saw Tang Zhenhua, she couldn't help but feel full of hatred towards him, wishing to tear him apart.

However, after the incident, Tang Zhenhua chose to stay at the academy and repent. He was like a rat crossing the street, yet he still chose to stay at the academy.

When Tang Zhenhua was in the Inner Court, he also made outstanding contributions to the academy. The academy's high-level officials ultimately decided to let him stay.

For decades, Tang Zhenhua wandered aimlessly in the Star Wars Command Department. In all these years, Ying Luohong had never heard of him doing anything or having any connection with any woman again. He didn't even go out of the academy much.

In the first ten years after they separated, she could feel his occasional peeping eyes. Ten years later, he dared to speak to her occasionally. However, her inner resentment did not diminish. It wasn't until these few years, after the Star Wars experimental class was established and they had more communication, that Tang Zhenhua seemed to have regained some vitality because of those children. Their relationship had only slightly improved.

Tang Zhenhua had asked her more than once to give him another chance, but how could Ying Luohong let it go?

During the graduation exam of the senior class, he actually confronted her and asked for her forgiveness. But could she really forgive him?

If she didn't forgive him, would he really choose to leave the academy? And not just leave, but take the Soul Separation Fruit to leave the academy.

The Soul Separation Fruit was a rare treasure of heaven and earth that had no harm to the body but could dissolve memories. This fruit was only used in extremely special circumstances, mainly for those who had committed serious mistakes and knew about the secrets of the academy or the Tang Sect but were not sentenced to death. After taking it, all past memories will be lost, and they will start over under the guidance of a specialist. Their cultivation level will also be sealed and will be unlocked based on future observations.

In other words, after taking the Soul Separation Fruit, one will become a completely different person from who they were before. They will no longer be Tang Zhenhua.

For the past few decades, Tang Zhenhua had made significant contributions to the academy and the Tang Clan, but he also knew too many secrets. If he really didn't want to stay in the academy, it would be troublesome for the academy, especially when it came to explaining to the Tang Clan. Taking the Soul Separation Fruit was the best solution for Tang Zhenhua. Moreover, he made it clear that taking the fruit was not just about forgetting all the secrets but also about forgetting himself.

She really wanted to curse that guy, but what was the point of doing so?

Ying Luohong's heart was in turmoil, and she didn't know why she felt this way.

Meanwhile, Tang Zhenhua stood by the Sea God Lake, looking at the clear lake water with a gentle expression in his eyes.

He still remembered clearly that when he was studying at the academy, no matter how busy they were with daily cultivation and learning, they would always take a fifteen-minute break to sit by the shore of the Sea God Lake, admire the beautiful scenery, and feel the rich vitality.

He also remembered clearly that the former Ying Luohong was such a gentle and tender woman, unlike her current temper.

"It's my fault, it's all my fault! Maybe forgetting is a good thing. If I forget her, it won't be so painful anymore. Without me, maybe she can find happiness again. That's good, isn't it?"

Although he said it was good with his mouth, tears flowed unconsciously again.

"I don't approve your request for the Soul Separation Fruit."
