Barefoot Men Don't Fear Shod Ones, but Damn It, They Fear Mouths!

Ding! Encounter successfully modified!

Congratulations, Host, you have obtained: System Essence ×1000!

Just then, the system's voice sounded in Ye Xian's mind.

The reward had arrived, and he could barely keep the corners of his mouth from rising.

Tang San licking someone's foot left everyone present completely dumbfounded.

For a moment, even the air seemed to fall silent.

Even the Twin Sisters' grinning mouths froze.

They stared at Tang San as if their pupils were shaking.

"Does this kid have some kind of illness?"

What normal person suddenly licked someone else's toes in the middle of a fight?

If he wasn't sick, then wasn't he just a complete freak?

"Brother, what are you doing?!"

Just then, Xiao Wu's anxious voice rang out.

Tang San suddenly snapped awake.

When he realized that his tongue was touching a toe, he nearly threw up on the spot.

Xiao Wu's shout also brought Dai Mubai back to his senses from his bewilderment and shock.

The warm, slightly damp sensation on his toe made him instinctively kick out.

"Bang—~!"

They were standing extremely close together.

Dai Mubai's foot smashed directly into Tang San's face.

The next second, Tang San was sent flying.

That kick had not been light at all.

Tang San, who had just coughed up blood, sprayed out another mouthful of old blood.

This time, one of his front teeth flew out of his mouth along with the blood.

A large, distinct footprint was stamped across Tang San's face like a tattoo.

It covered the upper left side of his face, passed over his nose and mouth, and reached all the way to his lower right jaw.

It covered more than half of Tang San's face.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai hurriedly withdrew his martial spirit.

It was the first time he had won a fight and still looked so flustered.

He had run into a damn freak today.

Because he had used the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, both of his feet had turned into Tiger Claws.

That made the sensation of Tang San's two licks incomparably clear.

He had heard that barefoot men weren't afraid of those wearing shoes.

But damn it, he had never expected barefoot men to be afraid of mouths!

And it had happened to him, Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai wiped his right foot several times in disgust.

With a flash, he swiftly left the Rose Hotel with the Twin Sisters.

To hell with this room—they weren't staying!

Watching Dai Mubai leave in such a sorry state, Ye Xian truly couldn't hold it in anymore.

Anyone who didn't know better would think Dai Mubai had been beaten into fleeing.

Who would have thought he had been scared away?

After all, straight men were all afraid of this sort of thing.

Tang San had dared to lick someone's foot in broad daylight and before a crowd.

If they stayed the night and Tang San crawled into their room in the middle of the night...

Who knew where he might lick?

"Brother, are you all right?"

Seeing Dai Mubai leave, Xiao Wu hurried forward and helped Tang San up.

Tang San forced out a smile.

"I'm fine!"

"This little injury can't do anything to me. It just feels like my mouth is leaking air."

Xiao Wu looked heartbroken beside him.

One of his front teeth had flown out.

Of course his mouth leaked air.

Just then, Ye Xian also stepped forward.

Together with Xiao Wu, he helped Tang San to his feet.

Then, out of kindness, he took out a handkerchief and placed it in Tang San's hand for him to wipe the blood from his mouth.

"Tang San, your courage today has truly made me see you in a new light!"

"I was originally about to step in, but I never expected the other side to be scared off by your imposing presence."

"There really is a reason Great Master took you as his disciple."

Tang San grinned, revealing the gap in his front teeth.

"Of course!"

Receiving his boss's approval made Tang San feel immensely honored.

Though the way he had won was somewhat undignified.

The result was what mattered most.

A level-twenty-two Soul Grandmaster had scared off a level-thirty-seven Soul Elder.

Dai Mubai would never have imagined it.

Tang San had already written him into his battle record.

"You three, both rooms have been prepared. You may check in now."

Just then, Manager Wang came trotting over eagerly.

Even Young Master Dai had been scared away. He certainly didn't dare provoke them.

It was better to obediently prepare the rooms and avoid any further trouble.

Ye Xian nodded.

Shrek Academy's admissions would begin in two days. Resting here should be fine.

"Tang San, rest well and recover over the next two days."

After saying that, Ye Xian took the key to the larger of the two rooms.

He went upstairs first.

Tang San, supported by Xiao Wu, limped upstairs toward their room as well.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Early on the third day, the three of them departed Suotuo City for Shrek Academy.

The moment they saw that run-down gatehouse, they were all stunned.

"This is a little too shabby, isn't it?"

Although he had already mentally prepared himself.

The moment Ye Xian saw Shrek Academy, he still couldn't help but complain.

They had just arrived at the village entrance where Shrek Academy was located.

On a battered, dilapidated signboard at the entrance were five striking characters:

"Shrek Academy."

Looking down from the signboard, an old wooden table with a heavy patina from countless years of use stood in the middle of the village entrance.

Behind the table sat an old man who looked to be around sixty.

His appearance was utterly ordinary. Anyone unaware of his identity would have taken him for an elderly gatekeeper.

Even so, more than a hundred people were still lined up ahead of them to register for the entrance examination.

Tang San was completely dumbfounded.

This was the academy his Godfather had so strongly recommended?

Though he would not doubt his Godfather's judgment.

The scene before him truly left him feeling uncertain.

Ye Xian pursed his lips. If he remembered correctly, this old man seemed to be a Soul Emperor above level sixty.

"Are you sure this is Shrek Academy?"

Seeing such crude enrollment conditions, Xiao Wu, who stood behind Tang San, knitted her delicate brows and couldn't help complaining.

Forget an intermediate Soul Master Academy—even Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy was three or four times larger than this place.

This was practically an ordinary little village.

Honestly, even Holy Soul Village was larger than this.

"This is the Soul Master Academy that claims its graduates can become imperial viscounts?"

Just then, an undisguised complaint came from the front.

"Are you kidding me? This place is way too run-down!"

"Son, let's go. Suotuo Intermediate Soul Master Academy is better than this place."

"I think this is just false advertising to scam people. Anyone who believes it is truly being fooled. Leave early and pick another academy."

"Exactly! This academy is so shabby, yet the registration fee is ten Gold Soul Coins. They really have no shame!"

Voices like these rose and fell throughout the crowd.

The line moved slowly, and with this utterly unreliable-looking facade.

After thinking it over, some of those in the middle of the line chose to leave.

The queue, which had originally contained over a hundred people, shrank to just over a dozen in the blink of an eye.

Only six people remained ahead of Tang San.

"Hm?"

Just then, a soft sound of surprise pulled Ye Xian back from his thoughts.

A young girl stood before the Teacher in charge of the test, and he looked somewhat surprised.

She wore a clean long dress and had short hair cut to her ears. She looked pure and beautiful.
