A Mischievous Child Teases an Old Man
[I secretly infiltrated Shrek Academy, followed Ma Hongjun, and knocked him unconscious while he was returning home. Relying on the Emperor Flame, I absorbed the Evil Fire of the Evil Fire Phoenix, and my own flames were enhanced once again.]
Having already fallen out with Shrek Academy, I've decided not to follow Shrek route. Across the entire continent, I possess intelligence from the magical flame, the sacred fire of the Six-Winged Angels, the fiery spring of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and the Infernal Delicate Apricot fire.
[Time to find Dugu Bo and enter the secret code for the Immortal Herb!]
Shen Yichen's diary novel is updated with 4,000 words every day without fail.
Even if two thousand of those four thousand words are meaningless filler, that's still two thousand words a day.
There's not much left to write.
The thought of the five or six-year gap before Tang San- two filled Shen Yichen's chubby face with despair.
Or...
Should we just write it six years later?
Is he writing his diary like a novel?
Isn't that... treating the audience like fools?
"Huh?!"
Shen Yichen had a flash of inspiration. "I have a plan!"
Learn how the system upgrade works. For example, the diary has become a weekly journal. In the timeline of Douluo I, you update it once a week, but in reality, it's still updated daily.
In that case, wouldn't the time be reduced by seven times?!
I'm a genius!
Shen Yichen slapped his thigh.
"Ah!" Ice Empress pulled her white stockings down a bit, her face hardening as she looked at the distinct little handprint on her thigh. "Shen Yichen, are you trying to get yourself killed?!"
Shen Yichen chuckled, his little hand restlessly rubbing Ice Empress's thigh. "I accidentally patted the wrong leg, hehe."
Do you think I'd believe your excuses?!
"Alright, third sister. What's wrong with your big brother patting me?"
Ice Empress: "..."
Little Silver clenched her teeth, and even the roots of her teeth itched.
Frustrated, pitiful, but resigned to fate.
A few days ago, at the suggestion of the evil white fluffy ball, and with the joint approval of the Ice and Snow Emperors and the Auspicious Beast, everyone was assigned a number one and two bosses based on their strength.
Ice Empress thought they were definitely stronger than six or seven-year-old children, but what happened?
If it weren't for my extensive combat experience, I almost wouldn't have been able to defeat even the Auspicious Beast!
"How about you hit your brother?"
"Who's going to hit you!" Ice Empress was like an inflated balloon. She wasn't stupid. When Snow Empress's Emperor's Palm - Great Cold Without Snow slapped Shen Yichen was completely unharmed. Why would she hit him? Her hand would hurt!
I knew Bing'er wouldn't bear to hit her brother.
Ice Empress: "..."
"Whoa!!" The Ice Empress's Soul Rings lit up, and with the Ice Empress's Pincer empowering his hands, he forcefully slammed his palms into Shen Yichen's chest.
Bang!
A muffled thud, and nothing happened.
"What? Bing'er wants a hug?" Shen Yichen wrapped his arm around Ice Empress and hugged her like a doll.
An old man teasing a child? No, it's the child teasing the old man!
"Mud elbow!" Ice Empress pounced like a vicious dog, its little silver teeth aimed at Shen Yichen's shoulder.
Shen Yichen: It doesn't hurt, it's even a little itchy.
But... isn't this pose a little too intimate?
Before the thought had even left his mind, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped by tens of degrees Celsius.
Even though both Ice Empress and Shen Yichen could adapt to the temperature, they both shivered.
Aside from Ice Empress, only Snow Empress can significantly lower the temperature!
The mechanical version of Ice Empress turned its head clatteringly, looking at Snow Empress's frosty face, its supple body stiffening.
"Xue'er, let me explain."
The Snow Empress exuded a chilling aura. Holding a letter between his fingers, he flicked his wrist, sending the envelope flying like a dagger into the wooden desk.
"A letter from the Shrek Academy."
After saying that, Snow Empress turned and left.
Ice Empress scrambled off Shen Yichen, crying, "Xue'er, it's a misunderstanding!"
Without even putting on her shoes, she dashed out of the study, following Snow Empress's retreating figure. "Xue'er, let me explain, I just now..."
Inside the study, Shen Yichen twice. Going out barefoot like that—won't that just make the food dirty?
I never imagined that Snow Empress and Ice Empress were such good friends. And why is she so jealous?
But I remember, between the two of them, wasn't Ice Empress one who was more of a simp, Snow Empress just treating Ice Empress as a close friend?
I don't understand~
She took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away the glistening drool that Ice Empress had left on her collarbone. She then took out the letter that was stuck in the desk.
As expected, the letter was from the teacher.
Grandma's letters arrived on the same few days every month, but my master's letters were never at the same time.
"I see... Has it already time for the Soul Master Tournament?"
Shen Yichen reached out and counted the time.
Theoretically, the substitute members for this episode should be the same as those for the episode with Ling Luochеn and Dai Yueheng.
Shen Yichen wasn't familiar with who the starting team members would be. Perhaps... it was from the same season as Senior Han Ruoruo?
Shen Yichen didn't think too much about this question. No matter which episode the main team members were from, Shrek's victories were always overwhelming.
"But... does the teacher want me to go to Heaven Dou City to watch the competition too?"
They didn't mention participating or being a substitute. They just asked me to go to Heaven Dou City.
"Yes... Is there something you need to tell me?"
Although Dragon City is a fortified city, it's a border region, as anyone who knows, can attest. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's a desolate wasteland. Naturally, he'd like to go to Heaven Dou City to watch a match.
We'll set off tomorrow and reach Heaven Dou City in less than a day.

The Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament is three days away from its official opening. When Shen Yichen received the news, Shrek Academy had also assembled its team and was ready to depart.
The teacher leading the group was an ordinary teacher from the outer academy, but the protector was personally appointed by the Sea God Pavilion Master!
This was a veiled divine message from the Sea God, using the pretext that Xuan Zi had failed in his last mission and was no longer of any use.
The fact that Tang God King sent him away must mean he was plotting something. To find out what was going on, and also to protect Shen Yichen, he asked Shen Yichen to come and meet him in Heaven Dou City.
This would allow them to keep track of the messages coming from the recent diary entries, while also preventing Shen Yichen from falling into Tang God King's trap.
In addition...
Mu En opened the secret letter in his hand and read through the messages inside.
The Tang Sect... was wiped out.
The ancestral land of the Tang Sect in Heaven Dou City was also occupied by a little-known sect. The Tang Sect Master and his wife also died mysteriously.
Mu En's Soul Power surged, burning the letter in his hand to ashes.
He could only observe the affairs of the Tang Sect; he couldn't interfere.
This is not about abandoning someone in distress.
Tang God King needs a 'fresh and young' Tang Sect. Shrek doesn't need to go looking for trouble.
If the former leader of the Tang Sect and his wife wanted to leave and save their lives, it wouldn't be difficult; they could simply go to Shrek City with Tang Ya.
Knowing full well that staying in one place means certain death, they still refuse to move.
The Tang Sect's consistent folly!
The Tang Sect's 'pride' reminded Mu En of Shrek's 'glory'.
Is it really a good thing for teachers and students to be so obsessed with Shrek Academy's glory? Is this glory really that important?
