Little Kitty, We Meet Again
"Ma Hongjun, take him to the second level!" Looking at the twelve-year-old boy in front of him who had reached level twenty-one and possessed a vine Martial Soul, Lu Yuan said to Ma Hongjun.
"Okay, Boss Lu!" Ma Hongjun nodded to Lu Yuan. "Come with me!"
As she spoke, she took a few quick steps and walked inside.
Perhaps because Li Yusong revealed the admission requirements, those who dared to stay were all quite capable.
Lu Yuan checked the two people one after another. Both of them had reached level 20 or above. Although they were both level 21, and would most likely be eliminated, at least they had passed the first hurdle, which was much better than last year.
As soon as the boy left, a girl with long brown hair and a green dress stood in front of Lu Yuan and sweetly stretched out her little hand.
Lu Yuan gently squeezed it; the small hand was soft and boneless, like the finest jade, and felt quite pleasant to the touch.
"By the way, does Uncle Ning know you're here?" Looking at the girl in front of him, Lu Yuan spoke calmly. This girl was none other than Ning Rongrong, the Little Witch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"I know!" Ning Rongrong nodded gently, a tender smile on her face. Combined with her manners, she truly possessed the refined and elegant air of an upper-class aristocrat.
"Doesn't your academy teach all students regardless of their background? I should be able to accept someone like me, right?" A sly glint flashed in Ning Rongrong's eyes.
"That's acceptable!" Lu Yuan nodded calmly.
Lu Yuan glanced at Ning Rongrong and was about to pull his hand back when Ning Rongrong grabbed it with her small hand, and he couldn't pull it back for a moment.
Lu Yuan looked at her with indifferent eyes.
"After you disappeared from the Heaven Dou Imperial City, we never heard from you again. I never expected to see you here!" Ning Rongrong didn't seem to care about Lu Yuan's gaze. Instead, she held Lu Yuan's hand tightly, her expression showing surprise and delight.
She's a lawless Little Witch by nature, why would she care about these things?
Heaven knows how much she missed Lu Yuan past two years. His godlike demeanor and ethereal beauty had left a deep impression on her, one she could never forget.
I was overjoyed to see him today, and I wanted to hold onto Lu Yuan tightly.
Although Lu Yuan appeared somewhat aloof, she knew that Lu Yuan was actually not difficult to get along with; his aloofness was just a facade.
"Let go!" Lu Yuan was not greatly affected by Ning Rongrong's words. His heart already contained too many people, and he didn't want to add another one. He spoke softly.
"Oh!" Ning Rongrong had no choice but to withdraw her little hand. In the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she was Little Witch, but in front of Lu Yuan, she tried her best to maintain her gentleness.
"Release your Martial Soul!" Lu Yuan said calmly.
"Oh, the Seven Treasures Turn, Glazed Pagoda Appears!" Ning Rongrong nodded, opened her right hand, and a seven-story pagoda with flowing light appeared in her hand, with two yellow Soul Ring swaying around the pagoda.
"You've passed. Wait here, I'll take you straight to the fourth level!" Lu Yuan said.
"Aren't we going to the second level?" Ning Rongrong asked.
"You're exempt from the second and third tests! Go!" Lu Yuan said softly.
He could sense that Ning Rongrong's Soul Power had reached level twenty-seven, one level higher than in the original story, so there was no need to waste time on the second or third level.
"Okay!" Ning Rongrong smiled slightly, secretly pleased. She thought Lu Yuan was giving her special treatment!
"Long time no see, Lu Yuan!" a young man dressed in a blue outfit said to Lu Yuan.
"It has indeed been a long time!" Looking at Tang San and Xiao Wu in front of him, Lu Yuan felt a little emotional, but his tone remained calm.
"There's no need to measure your ages, I know. Release your Martial Soul!" Lu Yuan said.
"Okay!" Tang San put twenty Gold Soul Coin into the wooden box.
"Martial Soul Possession!"
A blue vine appeared in Tang San's hand; it was the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, with two Yellow Soul Rings on it.
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu, standing to the side, had pink light in her eyes, her rabbit ears grew longer, and two yellow Soul Ring rose from her body.
"You guys go wait there too, the second and third levels are exempt from testing!" Lu Yuan said.
"That's not a good idea!" Tang San said, still thinking that Lu Yuan was giving them special treatment!
"According to the academy's rules, students at level 25 and above are exempt from the second and third stages. You two are both level 29, so there's no need to waste time on the second and third stages!"
"How did you know we're already level 29?" Tang San looked at Lu Yuan in shock. He hadn't revealed his level!
"Your Soul Power fluctuations are so obvious, isn't it easy to tell?" Lu Yuan said calmly.
Even without mentioning the original work, based on Lu Yuan's spiritual power and the mystery of his Double Pupils, he could discern the specific level of even higher-level Soul Master, let alone those with lower Soul Power like Tang San.
Tang San gave Lu Yuan a deep look, then led Xiao Wu toward where Ning Rongrong was standing. According to Lu Yuan, this girl's Soul Power must have exceeded level 25. She was quite remarkable. Shrek Academy really had a lot of geniuses!
Tang San felt that he had come to the right place.
But what he didn't know was that coming here was absolutely the biggest mistake he had ever made in his life.
After checking several trainees again, the entire group reached its end, and only the girl in black remained in front of him.
Lu Yuan looked straight at her, his eyes gentle.
"Little kitty, we meet again!" Lu Yuan said softly, a gentle smile on his face.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were moist, her pretty face showing undisguised excitement. She gently bit her red lips with her silver teeth, and her gaze towards Lu Yuan was filled with longing and deep affection.
"Zhu Qing, you've lost a lot of weight!" Lu Yuan stood up and walked to Zhu Zhuqing's side. There were no other students here now, so Lu Yuan no longer needed to sit.
Gently stroking Zhu Zhuqing's face, Lu Yuan's expression was filled with tenderness. Zhu Zhuqing had grown a lot in the past two years and looked much more mature, but she must have also suffered a lot.
There was a new kind of determination in her eyes that she hadn't shown before.
"Lu Yuan!" Zhu Zhuqing spoke softly, her voice cold yet filled with deep affection.
The two years of separation did not dim their feelings for each other; on the contrary, it made them even stronger and more unbreakable.
Lu Yuan gently brushed Zhu Zhuqing's hair, not caring that Ning Rongrong, Tang San, and Xiao Wu were also present, and pulled Zhu Zhuqing into his arms.
After not seeing her for more than two years, all he wanted to do was hold this stubborn yet pitiful little cat tightly in his arms.
Holding Zhu Zhuqing's slender waist tightly, Lu Yuan gently kissed Zhu Zhuqing cheek, expressing his longing.
Zhu Zhuqing lay quietly in Lu Yuan's arms, enjoying the embrace she hadn't felt in two years.
