Chapter 629 - Tang Zhenhua’s Spring
629 – Tang Zhenhua’s Spring
TL : GoldenLung
Although Lan Xuanyu had been keeping a low profile for the past few years, his talent in forging was extremely outstanding. He didn’t know how many emblems he earned in the past few years through it.
“Should we give them a more difficult task?” Tang Zhenhua asked.
Ying Luohong replied, “Yes. This way, they will earn more merit points.”
Tang Zhenhua: “Isn’t it too risky?”
Ying Luohong said, “The academy has already invested a lot of resources in them behind the scenes, including the future. Their growth is the most important. They must rely on actual combat to train.”
Tang Zhenhua wanted to say something, but he didn’t in the end. This was Shrek Academy’s rule. There were very few students in Shrek Academy, and Shrek Academy attached great importance to every student, even the Outer Court. However, the requirements for each of them were extremely high. It wasn’t easy to graduate from Shrek Academy’s Outer Court, but anyone who could graduate was an outstanding talent.
“Oh, right. The Tang Sect will not be paying for the patent this time. They are very interested in your Sky Wing mechas and admire them very much. They have decided to give you a divine metal and let you try to build a divine-rank Sky Wing mecha with it. They will use this divine metal as the patent fee.”
“Ah?” The surprise came so suddenly that Tang Zhenhua was stunned.
Using divine-rank metals to build a Sky Wing mecha?
In the entire Federation, there were probably not many mechas that could be completely made out of divine metal. Divine metal was the most important material for making Four-Word and above Battle Armors! Even a piece of divine metal the size of a fingernail was worth an astronomical amount, much less a divine metal that could be used to build a mecha.
This was no longer something that could be measured with money. Even the Federation’s divine-rank metal reserve might not be as much as the Tang Sect’s. Only the Tang Sect had such confidence.
“The Tang Sect wishes for you to go to the Tang Sect’s research institute for a period of time so that their researchers can research with you and see if it’s possible to try out other transformations for the Sky Wing mecha during the process of forging its divine metals and not just switch between its space fighter and humanoid shape. Are you interested ?”
“Yes, of course! I can’t ask for more.” Tang Zhenhua was so excited that he almost jumped.
In terms of Battle Armor research, Shrek Academy was the absolute number one in the entire Federation, but in terms of mechas, the Tang Sect had the most advanced technology.
“Congratulations.” Yin Luohong’s voice was slightly strange.
“Congratulations too,” Tang Zhenhua said excitedly.
“Actually, you should thank someone else,” Yin Luohong suddenly said from the other side of the soul communication device.
“Thank who? Oh, right, thank you, thank you.” Tang Zhenhua felt that his EQ was quite high.
“Not me. You should be thanking your precious disciple. Zhenhua, have you realized that ever since that precious disciple of yours came to the academy, you’ve stopped being dispirited and have been working very hard. This is what I hoped to see in you.”
With that, Ying Luohong hung up.
Tang Zhenhua stood there in a daze as Ying Luohong’s words echoed in his mind.
‘She, she called me Zhenhua? How many years has it been since she called me that?’
Xuanyu?
Tang Zhenhua recalled everything that happened in the past few years and was shocked. That’s right! Ever since Lan Xuanyu came, he seemed to have been changing, but he wasn’t aware of it until now.
Initially, he only felt that this child had good talent and had been taught by Yin Tianfan, so he had to teach him well. But after Lan Xuanyu created a series of events, his talent was shining more and more. This made Tang Zhenhua more interested in him and he valued this disciple more.
After that, there was the Star War Experiment class. Faced with these outstanding children, he subconsciously became busy and enjoyed himself. It was also from then on that his research on the Sky Wing mecha began to increase rapidly.
All of this seemed to have started after Lan Xuanyu arrived.

The second semester of the fourth year was about to begin!
When Lan Xuanyu walked out of the Space Center, he was pleasantly surprised.
Two tall and slender girls were waiting for him outside.
They were all wearing masks and even hooded sweaters that covered their hair. But from afar, Lan Xuanyu could still see them at a glance. At the same time, he could also see their dark blue and purple eyes.
He ran out and hugged the owner of those purple eyes. “Teacher Nana, why are you here?”
Nana hugged him too and smiled. “To pick you up! I didn’t see you during the holidays and missed you a little.”
“I miss you too.” Lan Xuanyu’s face was filled with excitement. Then, he opened his arms and hugged the young lady with dark blue eyes. He was pushed away as she rolled her eyes at him.
“Xiuxiu, we haven’t seen each other for so many days, don’t be so heartless.”
The person who came with Nana to pick him up was actually Bai Xiuxiu. The 15-year-old Bai Xiuxiu was already a big girl and was at least as tall as Nana. She was quite tall among the girls, but the current Lan Xuanyu had already surpassed her.
“A guy like you who likes to take advantage of others deserves a heartless treatment,” Bai Xiuxiu said in annoyance.
Lan Xuanyu looked at Nana with an aggrieved expression. “Teacher Nana, look at her.”
Nana shrugged and smiled. “I have no say in this matter.”
The three of them walked out of the Space Center and got into the soul car.
The car was bought by Lan Xuanyu, and if it was crammed, they could sit eight people. In Shrek Academy, it was too inconvenient without a car. Also, with a car, it was more convenient for them to go to more places in Shrek City. They couldn’t possibly release their Soul Power and run on the streets, right?
“Teacher Nana, how many days are you here this time!” Lan Xuanyu grabbed Nana’s hand.
Nana said, “Three days. The Imperial Sun Moon Soul Engineer Academy will be starting school in a few days.”
“Only three days!” Lan Xuanyu said regretfully.
“En, I came over this time for another matter. I wanted to take care of you for your breakthrough,” Nana said.
“So we can break through now ?” Lan Xuanyu became excited upon hearing this.
“En. Xiuxiu said that it might be dangerous for you guys to go on missions in the future. You guys have accumulated quite a bit over the past few years. So go ahead and break through. It’s better to familiarize yourself with your abilities as soon as possible. It will be beneficial for you guys to complete the mission,” Nana said.
“Great, I can finally break through.” Lan Xuanyu clenched his fists excitedly.
Bai Xiuxiu giggled. “You’re jumping up and down like a monkey.”
Lan Xuanyu said, “You wouldn’t understand how a fourth-year student with three rings feels.”
“Cut it out,” Bai Xiuxiu said. “Who in the class would look at you like this ?” That was right! Who in the class would look down on him?
The car drove into the extremely familiar Shrek Academy. To Lan Xuanyu, it felt so good to be home.
It was as if this was his real home and Heaven Luo Planet’s home was like a courier station. Ever since he came to Shrek, the number of times he went back could be counted on one hand.
Lan Xuanyu asked, “Xiuxiu, are they all back?”
“Not yet,” Bai Xiuxiu replied. “There are still two days before school reopens and Huihui and Yuge will definitely be back on the last day. By the way, why didn’t you come back with Liu Feng and Qian Lei? Didn’t you guys return to Heaven Luo Planet?”
The corners of Lan Xuanyu’s mouth twitched. “Don’t talk about it. The two of them were sparring, but Frenzie got injured. Fatty seemed to have lost control of his strength. I wanted to wait for them, but Fatty seemed very guilty and said that he would stay with Liu Feng until he healed. He asked me to come back first and help them apply for leave. They will probably only be back after school starts and will be a few days late.”
