Ning Rongrong: Can I Call You Brother Yan?

"Zhu Zhuqing, you're the second daughter of the Star Luo Zhu Family?"

"What does that have to do with you?"

"It has everything to do with me! I'm your fiancé, and last night you actually went to a couples' hotel with another man? What do you take me for?"

Ning Rongrong, standing to the side, widened her eyes.

Whoa, juicy gossip!

"Young Master Dai, please mind your attitude before you speak. I've heard all about what you've been up to here. I find you filthy."

"Whatever goes on between Brother Yan and me has nothing to do with you."

"Please stop pestering me."

Dai Mubai burned with rage, but he didn't dare make a move, because he could feel a powerful hostility locked onto him.

He had a feeling that if he dared make a move, the consequences would be even worse than last night.

"Next."

Li Yusong continued working.

Xiao Wu stepped forward and released her Martial Soul.

"Xiao Wu, Martial Soul: Soft Boned Charming Rabbit, twelve years old, level thirty-two Battle Soul Elder, Soul Rings: two yellow, one purple."

"Good, good, good! A genius! Welcome to Shrek Academy."

Li Yusong was overjoyed. There were actually three promising talents this year. He was finally getting a taste of meat.

"Next."

Tang San stepped forward and released his Martial Soul.

"Tang San, Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass, twelve years old, level thirty-five Battle Soul Elder, Soul Rings: one yellow, two purple."

Li Yusong's pen paused, and he looked at Tang San.

"Is what you said true?"

Tang San nodded.

Li Yusong looked him up and down and determined that Tang San wasn't lying. His Second Soul Ring really was at the thousand-year level.

"What a Little Monster. You managed to cultivate Blue Silver Grass to this level."

Ning Rongrong, who had already passed, was also stunned to see that Tang San's Second Soul Ring was purple.

"Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, do you know him?"

"Mm, that's my second brother, Tang San."

Ning Rongrong nodded.

"Then is that handsome guy your big brother?"

"Of course. Brother Yan is the strongest among us."

Hearing that, Ning Rongrong's interest was piqued.

The second brother is already this strong. Just how strong must the big brother be? Could he be a Soul Ancestor?

Zhu Zhuqing was also very interested. She had never seen Li Yan fight in person and only knew that his Soul Power Level was very high.

"Release your Martial Soul. I can see you came with them, kid, so your talent shouldn't be much worse."

Li Yan smiled. This old man really had no eye for talent. Don't let me scare you in a moment.

"Li Yan, twelve years old, Martial Soul: Black Dragon, level forty-five Power Attack System Battle Soul Ancestor, Soul Rings: one yellow, two purple, one black."

"What!"

Li Yusong's hand shook, and his pen rolled to the ground.

"A twelve-year-old level forty-five Soul Ancestor, with a Soul Ring configuration that surpasses the optimal one! His Second Soul Ring is a thousand-year ring, and his fourth is even a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring."

"Just where did this monster come from?!"

Li Yusong marveled inwardly. He was now a level sixty-two Soul Emperor and had only one Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring himself, yet in front of Li Yan, he actually felt as though his Martial Soul was being suppressed.

Li Yusong had a feeling that if they really fought, he probably wouldn't be a match for this young genius.

"Student, you're the most gifted student I've seen in my life. Congratulations. It's an honor for Shrek Academy to have you join us."

Li Yan nodded and walked over to stand beside Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Dai Mubai felt a surge of fear. Last night, he had boldly provoked Li Yan. If Li Yan had really had a bad temper, he might already have gone down to meet his great-grandmother.

Thinking about it that way, having his fiancée stolen didn't seem entirely unacceptable.

Dai Mubai quickly shook his head. "So what if he's a genius Soul Ancestor? I'm a prince of the Star Luo Empire. No matter how capable he is, how could he stand against a whole nation?"

Zhu Zhuqing, meanwhile, had long since been won over by Li Yan's talent. Her eyes remained glued to him.

"A twelve-year-old level forty-five Soul Ancestor, with a Soul Ring configuration so far beyond the norm! Brother Yan really is a genius among geniuses!"

Zhu Zhuqing compared herself to him. Li Yan was about half a year older than her, yet his Soul Power Level was nineteen levels higher.

Those nineteen levels were like an impassable chasm.

"Xiao Wu, has Brother Yan... always been this strong?"

Zhu Zhuqing asked.

"Yes. He's a freak. Little San and I both have Innate Full Soul Power, but we've never been able to catch up to him. Isn't that infuriating? His cultivation speed is beyond belief."

"Then is Brother Yan also a genius with Innate Full Soul Power?"

Xiao Wu shook her head.

"Not exactly. I met him when I first started school at six. His father was the dean of our junior Soul Master Academy. I heard Third Brother say that Brother Yan's Innate Soul Power was only level six, and his Martial Soul wasn't a dragon before, either. It was two... Forget it, I won't go into the details of his Martial Soul."

"But he trained hard every day, refined his theories, and made it this far one step at a time."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, full of longing. If she had met Li Yan when she had just awakened her Martial Soul, would she be a Soul Elder now too?

Moreover, Li Yan's Innate Soul Power had only been level six, and judging by Xiao Wu's reaction, his previous Martial Soul hadn't been good either.

Yet after a few years, not only had his Martial Soul evolved, but his cultivation speed had also far surpassed that of geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power.

"Zhu Zhuqing, have you fallen for Brother Yan?"

"If you have, go ahead and pursue him without worry. I, Xiao Wu, stake my character on it: there hasn't been a single girl by Brother Yan's side these past few years."

"He and that Lewd Tiger Dai Mubai are polar opposites. Brother Yan is pure as ice and clean as jade."

Zhu Zhuqing blushed scarlet and gave Xiao Wu an annoyed smack.

"I have not..."

"Really? Then I won't help you stop that pretty girl in the blue dress."

Xiao Wu pointed at Ning Rongrong, who looked like a young maiden in love as she walked toward Li Yan, one step at a time.

An inexplicable sense of crisis welled up in Zhu Zhuqing's heart.

"Hello, my name is Ning Rongrong. I'm from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. You can call me Rongrong. May I get to know you?"

Ning Rongrong felt as though a great stroke of fortune had fallen right on her head. He was so handsome, his Martial Soul was a dragon, his Soul Power Level was so high, and his Soul Ring configuration exceeded the standard by so much. Wasn't he the perfect husband heaven had sent especially for her?

The spouses of direct descendants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had to be powerful Battle Soul Masters. Ning Rongrong felt that if she could lure Li Yan into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it would definitely be a great achievement.

"Hello, Rongrong."

"Then can I call you Brother Yan?"

Before Ning Rongrong could answer, Zhu Zhuqing stood beside Li Yan and looked at Ning Rongrong warily.

"Is Zhu Zhuqing your girlfriend?"

"No, she's my friend. We met on the way to the academy."

Ning Rongrong nodded. It looked like she had a chance, and a very good one at that. One look at Zhu Zhuqing and she could tell she wasn't good at dealing with people.

"Hey, Lewd Tiger Dai, since we've all passed the first test and our Soul Power is all above level twenty-five, can we go straight to the final test?"

Xiao Wu called to Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai shot Xiao Wu a vicious glare. He had originally wanted to pose as a graceful senior in front of this girl from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but Xiao Wu had exposed him with a single remark.

Ning Rongrong was standing nearby, and Xiao Wu whispered what had happened last night in her ear. Disgusted, Ning Rongrong hid on Li Yan's other side.

Dai Mubai panted like an ox, his eyes bloodshot. Looking at Li Yan with a girl on each arm, he was so angry he nearly spat blood.
