• Long Yao changed into casual clothes and headed toward Wang Dong, planning to bump into her and knock her candied hawthorn away.

Long Yao arrived at Shrek Academy for the entrance ceremony and used his system to check Huo Yuhao’s progress in the Star Dou Forest. After confirming Huo Yuhao had met Bei Bei and Tang Ya and was about to fuse with the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Long Yao spotted Wang Dong in the registration crowd and prepared to begin his own plans.

• Long Yao went to Shrek Academy and settled on the outer wall above the crowded entrance instead of joining the registration line.

• Wang Dong turned away with an angry, embarrassed reaction as Long Yao watched her from the wall and the livestream viewers urged him to approach her.

Long Yao enrolled at Shrek Academy and concealed his true level 45 Soul Power behind a reading of level 24, drawing Wang Dong’s attention as he teased her in the assessment queue. After Long Yao gave his name, Tang San’s hostile Divine Sense locked onto him, and the Second Assessment was about to begin.

• Long Yao avoided Luo Fei’s attacks and used precise spear techniques to wear him down without revealing his full strength.
• Long Yao struck Luo Fei’s knee joint and passed the assessment, while Wang Dong grew more doubtful that he was an ordinary Level 24 Soul Grandmaster.

Long Yao finished his match and encouraged Wang Dong before she defeated Li Hu in a swift display of her Goddess of Light Butterfly Martial Soul.

• Long Yao reassured Wang Dong, and she tentatively placed her hand in his before they released their martial souls.
• The Soul Breaking Spear’s black aura and the Light Goddess Butterfly’s pink-blue light collided between their clasped hands.

Long Yao and Wang Dong’s compatibility test awakened the resonance between her Light Goddess Butterfly and his hidden Chaos Holy Dragon, producing a 99% result and revealing their potential Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Long Yao carried the exhausted Wang Dong away to recover, while Tang San sensed their soul connection and erupted in fury.

• Long Yao relaxed his Soul Power during the test, but his Chaos Holy Dragon awakened and transformed the clashing powers into a harmonious resonance with Wang Dong.

• Long Yao comforted Wang Dong as she cried, and the two left the dormitory together to reach their class gathering.

Long Yao and Wang Dong joined Huo Yuhao and the other students in First Year Class One, where Zhou Yi announced a brutal three-month probation and ordered the class to run one hundred weighted laps. As the run began, Long Yao quietly supported an exhausted Wang Dong with his soul power, and the students continued around the plaza.
