"Team up...?"
Bei Bei and Tang Ya were both Shrek Academy students. Based on his memories from his previous life, Ling Bai and Ning Tian trusted their character. There was no harm in working with them. Ling Bai and Ning Tian exchanged a glance and agreed.
The next question followed quickly. Among the six of them, five were Shrek Academy students. Huo Yuhao suddenly felt very awkward. He nervously rubbed his hands and asked, blushing, "Can I apply to Shrek Academy?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Feng couldn't help but sneer. She crossed her arms and raised her chin, saying, "Shrek Academy's admission criteria are for those under twelve years old, with at least a fifteen-level Soul Power. You don't even meet that, let alone the Main City Recommendation Letter."
Wu Feng refrained from saying more out of respect for Ning Tian's presence, but a hint of disdain was evident in her expression.
Wu Feng grew up in the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, which had a ten-thousand-year-old heritage. She had a nine-level innate Soul Power and a top-tier offensive soul beast, the Red Dragon. She was raised from a young age to be the next Guardian Douluo of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, and her status among the younger generation was second only to Ning Tian and Ling Bai. This upbringing had fostered a spoiled nature in her.
Moreover, most soul masters had a tendency to admire strength. Wu Feng, despite disliking Ling Bai, still respected him. Huo Yuhao, who had almost been killed by a ten-year-old Wind Baboon, was destined to earn her respect.
"You!"
Feeling the mockery in Wu Feng's words, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but clench his fists. His emotional control wasn't at the point where he could hide his feelings, and he was still a child who wore his heart on his sleeve.
Ning Tian gently poked Wu Feng's waist, signaling her to stop being so harsh. She then apologized to Huo Yuhao, "Sorry, Yuhao. Xiao Feng was a bit too harsh. Don't take it to heart."
"Hmm."
Huo Yuhao responded dejectedly, a bitter smile on his lips.
Lies may not hurt, but the truth is a sharp blade.
Wu Feng's words were harsh but true. Huo Yuhao, who had just obtained his first Soul Ring, had only an eleven-level Soul Power, far from Shrek Academy's admission requirements. As for the Main City Recommendation Letter, he had no way of obtaining it.
Seeing Huo Yuhao wilt like a frost-bitten eggplant, Tang Ya's eyes flashed with sympathy. Bei Bei, noticing her expression, knew she was about to act on her kind heart.
Sure enough, Tang Ya quickly stepped forward, patted Huo Yuhao's head, and said earnestly, "Little Yuhao, do you want to join Shrek Academy?"
"I do, but I'm an orphan, I have no connections, and my strength isn't up to par..." Huo Yuhao stammered.
"Those things don't matter. As long as you want to!"
Tang Ya patted her chest, exuding a spirit of equality with men: "I am the current leader of the once-great Tang Sect, and Bei Bei is my first disciple. The Tang Sect has fallen from its former glory, but Shrek Academy still offers us one special admission slot each year. Bei Bei and I have already used ours, so we don't need this year's slot. If you join the Tang Sect, I'll give you the slot."
"The Tang Sect!?"
Huo Yuhao was shocked; clearly, he knew of the Tang Sect.
"They're actually from the Tang Sect?"
Wu Feng's arrogance slowly faded, and Ning Tian's eyebrows furrowed as she scrutinized Tang Ya.
The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower and the Tang Sect had both been glorious in the past but had declined for various reasons over the ten thousand years.
Suddenly, Ning Tian seemed to remember something and whispered, "Brother Bai, I remember the Tang Sect was in Tiantou City, not far from our Nine Treasures City. It seems to have been taken over by an obscure small sect..."
"Yes, the Iron Blood Sect. Tang Ya and I are pretty much the same, but..."
Ling Bai surveyed the group and said with a playful tone, "Six-Winged Angel, Tang Sect, Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus, Star Luo White Tiger lineage... we're only missing the Heavenly Hammer to restart the ten-thousand-year-old battle against the Soul Temple."
"The past is the past."
Ning Tian, under Wu Feng's furious glare, took Ling Bai's hand and said softly but firmly, "Now, we are one."
Ling Bai interlaced his fingers with Ning Tian's, his face blushing slightly as he reassured her, "Of course."
Damn! They're holding hands again!
Wu Feng's nose was almost out of joint, and a surge of anger almost choked her.
On the other side, the destitute Huo Yuhao naturally joined the Tang Sect, shouting to revive it with his teacher and senior brother. Tang Ya and Bei Bei were delighted and immediately gifted him a storage soul conductor, the same as the one Tang San had, the Twenty-Four Bridge Moonlit Night.
"Alright, now Little Yuhao is also a Shrek Academy student. Let's go!"
Tang Ya called out to the group to continue their journey into the Star Dou Great Forest, her gaze lingering on Wu Feng for a moment. She had a good first impression of Ling Bai and Ning Tian, and in contrast, Wu Feng's rude comments made her slightly dislike her.
After a brief discussion, the six formed a formation. Ling Bai and Bei Bei took the lead, Wu Feng and Tang Ya brought up the rear, while Ning Tian and Huo Yuhao, who had the weakest self-defense capabilities, were protected in the middle.
The group didn't venture deep into the Star Dou Great Forest but moved laterally. They had barely traveled five kilometers when they encountered soul beasts again.
Old acquaintances, the Wind Baboons!
Tang Ya, walking at the rear, snorted coldly. Her steps became ethereal, and her body flashed several times. A faint glint of cold light flashed, and a ten-year-old Wind Baboon,n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
comparable to a future Emotion God, fell from the treetops.
Huo Yuhao was stunned; the Wind Baboon was so easily defeated by Tang Ya.
"Hmph!"
Wu Feng, not to be outdone, unleashed a burst of flames that scorched another Wind Baboon, which was even larger than the one Tang Ya had killed.
Wu Feng and Tang Ya's effortless defeat of the Wind Baboons reignited Huo Yuhao's feelings of inferiority. At that moment, the voice of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm echoed in his mind:
"Don't worry, Little Yuhao. With this million-year-old intelligent Soul Ring, your future is bright! In less than a year, I guarantee you'll surpass Wu Feng!"
"Alright, I believe you, Brother Tianmeng!"
Huo Yuhao's fighting spirit was rekindled. With the help of the unique million-year-old soul beast, he would face mountains and open paths, face rivers and build bridges! Fortunately, Ling Bai couldn't read minds; otherwise, he would have patted Huo Yuhao on the
shoulder and said earnestly:
Don't get too excited, kid!
What would you do if it were the pure and noble Tang Sect's Blue Silver Entanglement?
"There's something ahead."
After dealing with the Wind Baboons, Ling Bai saw a vague black shadow in the distance.
Bei Bei was very surprised. They had formed a temporary team but hadn't shared their soul beasts or Soul Power levels. He had assumed that as a new student, his Soul Power was the
highest and his perception the sharpest.
What's going on with Ling Bai?
The facts didn't give Bei Bei much time to ponder. A peculiar sound immediately caught his
attention.
The rustling sound was like someone changing clothes or leaves rubbing against each other. Everyone's alertness was at its peak as they cautiously looked in the direction of the sound.
Then, they saw the source of the sound.
A spider appeared before them, a monstrous spider with a body diameter exceeding one and a half meters and eight spear-like legs over three meters long. Its entire body was covered in shiny black armor, and its legs were slender at the tips, piercing the ground sharply with each
step.
As it raised its front legs, its body lifted, revealing its underside to everyone. The spider's abdomen had some white patterns that contrasted sharply with its black body. These white patterns formed a sinister human face, with eight small eyes glowing with a faint purple light
tightly clustered on its abdomen!
