He Is My Fiancé

The next day.

Tang San left Suotuo City through the south gate with Xiao Wu. Both were preoccupied with their thoughts along the way.

The scene of Yu Xiaowei brutally beating Dai Mubai yesterday replayed over and over in their minds.

Especially after Tang San said that Yu Xiaowei's true age was likely close to theirs, Xiao Wu could barely hide her shock.

With Dai Mubai fighting at full strength, Tang San would have been utterly crushed if he did not use hidden weapons.

Yet that youth, around the same age as them, had effortlessly beaten Dai Mubai into a serious injury.

It truly made the two of them question their lives.

After walking for a long time, they spotted a small village.

Relying on the enhanced vision of his Purple Demon Eye, Tang San looked ahead and saw quite a few people gathered at the village entrance, as if something major had happened.

As the two drew closer, they saw that most of those gathered at the entrance were youths around their age, and most were accompanied by their parents.

What left them dumbfounded was a shabby plaque hanging from a simple archway at the village entrance. Five large words were written on it.

Shrek Academy.

"No way! This is Shrek Academy?"

The two wore expressions of utter disbelief.

But based on his trust in Grandmaster, Tang San still decided to step forward and ask.

Just then, an argument broke out at the front of the line.

"We do not accept anyone under thirteen whose Soul Power is below level twenty-one."

"What about the registration fee?"

"Once you register, no refunds."

"Isn't this just scamming people out of money?! Return our registration fee now, or we'll report you to the patrol!"

"Mubai, someone's causing trouble. Deal with it."

Following the shout, Dai Mubai hobbled over, covered in bandages and supported by Zhu Zhuqing.

The middle-aged man who had been shouting was about to sneer at why they had sent over a cripple.

Dai Mubai helplessly released his Soul Power. Three dazzling Soul Rings reflected across the middle-aged man's face, and the immense pressure made his expression change drastically.

Sensing the fluctuation of Soul Power, Tang San and Xiao Wu quickly craned their necks to look. The moment Xiao Wu saw Dai Mubai, her eyes lit up.

"Huh, Xiao San, isn't that Dai Mubai and that girl?"

"It really is him. Is he a student at Shrek too?"

While the two whispered to each other, the conflict ahead had already ended. Knowing he could not afford to provoke a Soul Master, the middle-aged man left with his son, his face full of resentment.

Seeing Shrek's harsh admission requirements, many people in the line began to hesitate and chose to leave.

Soon, it was Tang San and Xiao Wu's turn.

Dai Mubai spotted them at once. He turned and said laboriously to the elderly admissions teacher.

"Teacher Li, these two meet the admission requirements."

The old man gave him a puzzled glance, then suddenly widened his eyes. He rose angrily and released an extremely powerful aura.

Dense red light abruptly gathered in the old man's right hand, forming a long staff engraved with dragon patterns.

Six Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet, and the terrifying pressure of a Soul Emperor suddenly bore down on Tang San and Xiao Wu.

The old man shouted furiously, his voice brimming with killing intent.

"So it was you two little bastards who injured Mubai."

"Today, this old man will teach you a proper lesson and let you know how high the heavens are and how thick the earth is."

Seeing that the old man had misunderstood, Dai Mubai hurriedly tried to step forward and stop him.

However, with his body in such poor condition, even moving was difficult, let alone speaking. He could only keep signaling to Zhu Zhuqing with his eyes.

No longer wearing the appearance of a frail little woman from the hotel, Zhu Zhuqing stepped in front of the old man and said coolly.

"Teacher Li, the ones who injured Dai Mubai were not these two."

"Hm?"

The old man's momentum faltered. He frowned at Zhu Zhuqing. "Are you sure? Then why did Mubai know they met the admission requirements the moment he saw them?"

With the pressure suddenly reduced, Tang San quickly explained.

"We fought yesterday, but I lost."

"Uh..."

The old man smiled awkwardly and withdrew his Soul Rings. The immense aura of a Soul Emperor vanished without a trace.

"In that case, pay the registration fee and go in."

"Cheapskates. We still have to pay tuition?"

Xiao Wu pouted unhappily.

Inside a rundown office at Shrek Academy.

Zhao Wuji was reporting the matter of Dai Mubai being beaten to Flender.

"He was caught with ease, then beaten into this state?"

Flender pushed up his glasses, his tone full of disbelief.

Although Dai Mubai was not the most talented student at Shrek Academy, he currently possessed the highest Soul Power among them.

At only fifteen, his Soul Power had already reached level thirty-seven. He was very likely the only student in recent years who could graduate.

Yet now, some child who had appeared out of nowhere had beaten him into this state.

"Yes. That's what the people at the hotel said. Based on their description, that child was likely even younger than Mubai."

Zhao Wuji found it unbelievable as well. Dai Mubai fought people every day and had always known who he could fight and who he could not provoke. How had he run into such a monster?

After thinking for a while, Flender suddenly asked.

"The hotel staff said that child was named Yu Xiaowei?"

"That's right."

"Yu Xiaowei. His surname is Yu... Yu. Could it be that boy?"

"Boss, did you think of who it is? Say it already."

Seeing his thoughtful expression, Zhao Wuji was full of anxiety.

Flender shook his head and stared at the ceiling, lost in memory. After a long while, he said with a sigh.

"Yes. Only she could raise such an outstanding child."

"I only met this child once back then. Later, I searched Suotuo City for a long time but never found him again."

"I never expected him to still be in Suotuo City."

Zhao Wuji let out a deep sigh and said helplessly.

"Boss, I didn't ask you to stand there reminiscing. I'm asking who that kid who beat him is. Mubai can't take a beating for nothing."

"Oh."

Flender came back to his senses and said, "That child should be a descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?!"

That name truly startled Zhao Wuji. If that was the case, he really could not seek revenge for Dai Mubai. The Upper Three Sects were not easy to provoke.

Previously, he had only offended the Strength Clan, an affiliate of the Clear Sky Sect, and had been hunted for who knew how many years.

Not to mention that this was a genuine direct-line genius of the Upper Three Sects.

"That's right. The last time I was in Suotuo City, I saw that child. He was only twelve, and his Soul Power had already reached level thirty-eight."

"What?! Level thirty-eight at twelve?! What kind of monster is that?! Did he take drugs?!"

Zhao Wuji's voice abruptly rose, making the office windows rattle.

"Do you know who that child's uncle is?"

"Who?"

"Thunderbolt Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen."

"Hiss."

"So, Wuji, don't try to cause trouble for that child anymore. A genius like that—if you touch him today, Shrek Academy will probably be gone tomorrow."

"Sigh, all right."

This recruitment period, Shrek accepted a total of three new students.

They were Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu.

Among them, Tang San drew the most attention. At twelve years old, his Soul Power was level twenty-nine.

Li Yusong, who was in charge of the assessment, was extremely satisfied.

Supported by Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai limped along as he showed Tang San and Xiao Wu around the academy.

As they walked, Xiao Wu, who had been observing Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing for quite some time, could not help asking.

"Zhuqing, what is your relationship with that man from yesterday?"

Dai Mubai stopped walking and narrowed his eyes at Zhu Zhuqing as well.

With an icy expression, Zhu Zhuqing ignored Dai Mubai's gaze and replied coldly.

"I have no relationship with him."

"Then what is your relationship with Dai Mubai?"

Tang San hurriedly covered Xiao Wu's mouth. How could this little girl dare to say anything that came to mind?

You could eat carelessly, but you could not speak carelessly.

Yet Zhu Zhuqing did not lose her temper, and Dai Mubai fell silent for once. The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.

After a while.

Recalling the high-spirited way Dai Mubai had held those twins in his arms, Zhu Zhuqing said calmly.

"He is my fiancé."
