The Rebirth of the Supreme King Dong'er

Wang Dong'er shook her head, pushing the tangled thoughts from her mind.

There was no use thinking too much now. All she could do was raise her strength as quickly as possible before the crisis arrived.

Unfortunately, she had only crossed over a few days ago, leaving her unable to make any preparations.

Whether it was Sky Dream Ice Silkworm or Electrolux, the opportunities belonging to the original protagonist, Huo Yuhao, were beyond Wang Dong'er's reach. She had even deliberately passed close to the Star Dou Forest on her way here, yet had encountered none of the related events.

She had no idea whether she had arrived too early or too late.

Still, it did not matter if she lacked those opportunities. With the system, she would eventually become strong enough to take control of her own fate.

As Wang Dong'er stepped into Shrek Academy, the system panel before her eyes did not disappear. The basic information above remained unchanged, but the task-related information below had updated.

Task "Join Shrek Academy" completed. Random reward obtained: Mysterious Water Pill x1

Wang Dong'er was somewhat surprised when she saw the reward.

The Mysterious Water Pill was a medicinal pill produced by the reclusive Mysterious Nether Sect. It required the blood essence of more than a dozen water-attributed soul beasts, along with dozens of water-attributed heavenly treasures, all specially blended together before it could be refined.

Due to its mild medicinal properties and powerful effects, the Mysterious Water Pill was one of the most sought-after cultivation-aiding pills.

Not only could it increase soul power, but it also possessed the effect of Marrow Cleansing.

On the Douluo Continent, a soul master's Innate Soul Power basically determined their future destiny. The Mysterious Water Pill's Marrow Cleansing effect could help an ordinarily talented soul master raise their Innate Soul Power by one level.

However, for a soul master with exceptional talent like Wang Dong'er, the Mysterious Water Pill's effects were far less pronounced than they would be for an ordinary soul master. It was nowhere near a lifesaving gift, at most adding flowers to brocade.

After considering it for a moment, Wang Dong'er decided to save the Mysterious Water Pill for now.

She had not gone far before several towering statues blocked her view.

Looking at those statues, Wang Dong'er curled her lips. Just as she was about to continue down the main road, a petite-looking figure approached her, her face carrying a hint of shyness.

"Hello, are you also a new student who passed the entrance assessment?"

Though she had not used some Clear Sky Sect secret technique to completely disguise herself as a boy like Wang Dong'er had in the original novel, Wang Dong'er had still chosen the style of dress she had been most familiar with in her previous life.

A simple, neat white top and black trousers, paired with her distinctive short pink-blue hair and eyes, made her look both dashing and possessed of a unique kind of beauty.

Not knowing what the other girl wanted, Wang Dong'er did not pay it much mind. She nodded. "Yes. Is there something you need?"

The girl extended a hand and gave her a sweet smile. "My name is Xiao Xiao. I'm also a new student who just passed the entrance assessment."

King's Descent

"Xiao Xiao?" Wang Dong'er was somewhat surprised. She had not expected to encounter one of the original protagonist group's members so quickly.

"My name is Wang Dong'er." Wang Dong'er extended her hand and lightly shook Xiao Xiao's.

"Wang Dong... er?" Xiao Xiao froze for a moment before realizing what she had heard. "You're a girl?"

"Yes." At the mention of that, Wang Dong'er could not help feeling a little melancholy again.

The great dragon had ridden away on the Yellow Crane, leaving behind nothing but a great dragon pit.

Anything she wanted to do now was completely out of the question without a dick.

"Um... that seems to be the freshman teaching building over there. Shall we go together?" Xiao Xiao cautiously studied Wang Dong'er.

"Sure."

Wang Dong'er did not refuse.

Who would refuse to travel with a beautiful girl?

Though, based on the early parts of the original novel, Xiao Xiao seemed to have something wrong with her head. Unlike Jiang Nannan, she was not from a commoner background, yet despite possessing Twin Martial Souls, she had insisted on attaching a soul ring to her second martial soul early on just for a freshman assessment.

Still, that merely meant she had wasted some of her talent. What Wang Dong'er truly could not understand was how, in the original novel, Xiao Xiao had actually wagered one of her legs over such a low-grade provocation.

Wasted talent was one thing, but there were not many ways to regrow a severed limb...

Behind the statues facing the main gate lay Shrek Academy's core area: Sea God Lake.

Following the main road along Sea God Lake, the two soon arrived at an extremely spacious plaza.

Behind the plaza stood rows of teaching buildings in four colors: white, yellow, purple, and black. Farther away was a stretch of gray buildings, clearly separated from the teaching buildings in front.

Xiao Xiao was quite friendly as she began introducing the place to Wang Dong'er. "Dong'er, may I call you that? Before coming here, I made sure to learn a lot about Shrek Academy. The colors of these teaching buildings represent different grades."

"The white building is the freshman teaching building we're headed to. Yellow is for the second and third years of the outer court, purple is for the fourth and fifth years, and black is for the sixth years. They say that anyone who can walk out of the black teaching building can receive a graduation certificate from Shrek Academy's outer court."

"The gray teaching buildings over there are supposedly the territory of the Soul Tool Department."

"You really know quite a lot." Wang Dong'er remarked.

Outside the white freshman teaching building, the new students who had passed the entrance assessment had gathered to register.

Among this group of soul masters, the vast majority of whom had only just reached the passing threshold of fifteen levels of soul power, the already level-twenty-three Wang Dong'er was naturally in a league of her own. On top of that, she possessed the Clear Sky Hammer, a strength-type Weapon Martial Soul, so she was naturally quite strong. She directly led Xiao Xiao through the crowd and squeezed their way up to the registration teacher.

"The tuition for one school year is ten Gold Soul Coins. The dormitory building is behind the teaching building. Here are your dormitory key, school uniform, and freshman badge. Keep them safe. If you lose them, you'll need to compensate the academy and buy new ones."

The school uniforms were of a standard design: fitted outfits with long trousers, not skirts or anything of the sort. Xiao Xiao looked at Wang Dong'er's dormitory key, then happily raised her own key and waved it.

"Dong'er, look! We're in the same dorm room."

Indeed, Shrek Academy's freshman dormitories housed two students per room. Wang Dong'er had not expected that she and Xiao Xiao would coincidentally be assigned to the same room.

Perhaps the registration teacher had arranged it that way because they had come together?

"Let's go. We'll find the dorm first." For some reason, Xiao Xiao had suddenly grown bolder. She grabbed Wang Dong'er's hand and headed toward the dormitory building.

Since students from all six grades lived in the same building, the dormitory was built exceptionally large.

Compared to it, the freshman teaching building they had just seen was like a little girl standing beside a burly man.

The dormitory building was likewise divided into four colors and stood six stories tall, giving it a rather strange appearance.

When Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao arrived before the dorm entrance in the white section, they spotted an elderly man half-reclining by the doorway.

Most of the passing freshmen paid no attention to the old man. Even Xiao Xiao was puzzled as to why Wang Dong'er had suddenly stopped.

In truth, this old man who looked as though he had one foot in the grave was Shrek Academy's strongest combatant, the head of the Shrek Decision-Making Group, and the master of the Sea God Pavilion—Mu En, known as the Dragon God Douluo.

Wang Dong'er did not have a particularly favorable impression of him.

The people of Shrek Academy all championed justice on the surface while being thoroughly vile behind the scenes. The only reason she stopped was because of the system.

Mission: Sweeping Monk

Mission Description: You have discovered the "old gatekeeper" in front of the dormitory building. Knowing the plot, you know that he is Mu En, the Dragon God Douluo. You decide: (1. Speak to him) (2. Ignore him and leave)

This was the second mission issued by the system, but unlike the first mission, it did not directly set joining Shrek Academy as the objective. Instead, it offered two choices.

Wang Dong'er did not know whether both options would grant rewards, but without question, the first choice was more likely to trigger a "side quest."

This God-Chosen System really felt like some sort of game tool.

"Hello, sir. Do you know where Dorm 403 is?" Wang Dong'er asked.

The old man had been gazing downward. Only after Wang Dong'er spoke did he raise his eyes to glance at her. He casually pointed with one hand and said, "Fourth floor, all the way at the end. The room number's on the door."

Once they had moved away, Xiao Xiao immediately began praising her. "Dong'er, you're so smart! Since that grandpa is sitting there, he must manage the dorms. Asking him is way faster than searching room by room ourselves."

Wang Dong'er rolled her eyes at that. The dorm rooms were obviously arranged in a pattern, and finding it herself would not have taken much time. If not for the system mission, she would not have bothered imitating Huo Yuhao and striking up a conversation. In any case, she would not be staying at Shrek Academy for long.

Now that the system mission was complete, it was time to reveal the reward.

"Sweeping Monk" mission completed. Random reward obtained: "King's Descent" cultivation method

Wang Dong'er froze on the spot.

King's Descent was an ability created by Mu En that infused one's Spiritual Power into a soul skill.

If releasing a soul skill was like dealing physical damage, then King's Descent was like adding a bit of magical damage on top of that physical damage.

She had not expected that merely exchanging a few words would yield such a reward. She had made a killing this time.

Moreover, as a transmigrator herself, and having absorbed a wisp of Tang San's divine consciousness, Wang Dong'er's soul strength and Spiritual Power were far stronger than those of ordinary soul masters. She might even be able to contend with a spiritual-type soul master.

"Dong'er, why did you stop again?" Xiao Xiao looked curiously at Wang Dong'er, utterly captivated by her peerless face and pink-blue eyes.

"It's nothing. I just thought of something." Wang Dong'er smiled faintly. "Let's go. Judging from this dormitory building, it probably hasn't been cleaned in a long time. We'll have plenty to do later."

Wang Dong'er: Xiao Xiao, You Don't Want This Either

Shrek Academy's dormitory building was the long-corridor type, with a lengthy hallway linking numerous rooms together.

Once inside, they could see quite a few aged traces, showing just how old the dormitory building was.

The first three floors were the boys' dormitory area. Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao did not linger, heading straight upstairs until they reached the far end of the fourth floor.

"403... It's here!" Xiao Xiao took out the key she had received during registration and opened the dorm door. A cloud of dust immediately rushed at her, frightening her into quickly dodging aside.

Wang Dong'er also turned sideways with a frown.

"Pfft, cough cough. This dormitory building hasn't been cleaned for at least one or two months!" Xiao Xiao coughed twice and complained to Wang Dong'er.

"Stop complaining and hurry up so we can clean it." Wang Dong'er pulled out a pile of cleaning supplies from her Storage Soul Tool.

"Xiao Xiao, you don't want us to have nowhere to sleep tonight, do you?"

"Uh... why does that sound so weird...?" Xiao Xiao grumbled. "And why are you carrying cleaning tools around with you?!"

"I'm a clean freak. Is that a problem?" Wang Dong'er handed Xiao Xiao a broom. "Get to work. This is for your own sake."

"You make it sound like it isn't for yours too." Xiao Xiao stuck out her tongue, but she did not make a fuss. Taking the broom, she began cleaning.

Wang Dong'er opened the window to air out the room. She kept an eye on Xiao Xiao and found that she actually did a decent job cleaning.

Though she was somewhat unskilled, at least she was not the type who had never done a day of housework in her life.

This new life seemed to be off to a decent start. Wang Dong'er smiled faintly and began cleaning as well.

Because she had lived alone in her previous life, Wang Dong'er had done plenty of cooking and cleaning. She was thoroughly practiced at it, leaving Xiao Xiao calling her a freak.

"Dong'er, you look like you came from some rich family. How are you this good at it?"

"I'm decent. You'll get this skilled in the future too."

"Right, we still haven't checked the class assignment information." Xiao Xiao said. "How about we go take a look together after dinner?"

Wang Dong'er already knew what kind of teacher they were about to face. Zhou Yi—though it was not exactly an apt comparison, if she had to put it simply, she was the Absolute Tang Sect version of Great Master.

After cleaning the dorm room, the two of them headed together to the cafeteria area behind the dormitory district.

Shrek Academy's cafeterias were also divided by grade. Students from each grade could generally only eat in the cafeteria assigned to their own grade.

Upon entering the freshman cafeteria, Xiao Xiao stood there with her mouth open, speechless.

"What kind of lousy cafeteria is this? Why can't they even provide tables and chairs?"

It wasn't just Xiao Xiao—most of the new students entering the cafeteria had their complaints.

Every one of them came from at least minor noble families and had long been accustomed to comfortable lives. It was one thing to go without servants waiting on them, but now the cafeteria did not even provide tables or chairs. Naturally, they found it unbearable.

What was more, there was a sign at the cafeteria entrance forbidding anyone from taking food out of the cafeteria.

To Wang Dong'er, the scene was somewhat reminiscent of certain addiction treatment schools.

The cafeteria had eight serving windows in total, with most people gathered around the middle ones.

The reason was simple: the far-left window served the most expensive meals, which only the children of wealthy high nobles could afford, while the far-right window sold the cheapest food, meant only for the poorest commoners.

The backgrounds of the new students were obvious enough, so naturally no one went to the far-right window for food.

Wang Dong'er led Xiao Xiao straight to the far-left window—the most expensive one.

The prices there started at Gold Soul Coins, and even the most basic ingredients were meat from hundred-year soul beasts. At least, it lived up to the principle of getting what one paid for.

"So expensive." Xiao Xiao stuck out her tongue. "I'm benefiting from your generosity this time, Miss. You really are rich."

Well, it was all the Clear Sky Sect's money anyway. As long as she had not been exposed yet, there was no reason not to spend it.

Although there were no tables or chairs in the cafeteria, Wang Dong'er had them in her Storage Soul Tool.

Others might not have known this, but she had some recollection of it and had prepared a set of dining furniture in advance.

Thanks to her status as the young sect master, everything she possessed was of the highest quality. Even the internal space of her Storage Soul Tool was exceptionally vast.

When the other students saw Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao set up a table and chairs on the spot, they stared at one another. Some looked inspired, deciding that once they finished eating, they would immediately buy a table and chairs to store away.

"Hey, have you heard? They say the homeroom teacher of Freshman Class One is a perverted old hag!"

As the two ate at an unhurried pace, the conversation of several students nearby drifted over.
