Obsession from a Past Life

The next day.

Yun Chuan left the hotel, deciding to take a proper look around Suotuo City and see whether he could stumble upon another hidden treasure. After all, the plate gold within that crystal had brought him benefits that were simply enormous.

If he got lucky and found something similar again, he would hit the jackpot.

Unfortunately, his luck did not seem to be as good as it had been yesterday. He circled the entirety of Suotuo City, visiting every shop that sold goods and even checking out the street stalls, yet he still found nothing. There were similar ores, but none that caused the rune between his brows to react.

Yun Chuan was somewhat disappointed, though he had expected it. After all, if things useful to him could be found so easily, he would not have remained stuck in place without making any progress during those six years at Spirit Hall.

Since he could not find anything, he simply gave up on treasure hunting and turned to something else—something he had intended to do when he first came here. That was to meet the many characters from the original story, and then... give Tang San a vicious beating!

Why did Yun Chuan want to beat up Tang San, you asked?

Naturally, it was because whenever he thought of what that bastard had done to Xue Jie and his mother in the original story, Yun Chuan felt extremely unhappy. He felt that unless he gave the guy a thorough beating, his thoughts would never be at peace!

He had already inquired about it. There were still three days until Shrek Academy officially began accepting students. That made things easy—he could accomplish a great deal in those three days.

By now, Yun Chuan had already come up with a way to beat Tang San up openly and legitimately.

He would assume the name Tang Chuan and join Shrek Academy... as a teacher.

When Tang San came to take the entrance examination, he could act as one of the examiners and openly lay hands on him, giving him a thorough beating. As for Tang Hao, who was fiercely protective of his son—if he tried to attack him then, Yun Chuan was not afraid. He had also been wanting to test just how great the gap was between his current self and those Titled Douluo.

If Tang Hao went mad and tried to kill him, Yun Chuan still had a life-saving ultimate move. Once he used that move, he would definitely remain completely safe and unscathed.

Once he made up his mind, he acted immediately.

Yun Chuan hurried without pause toward Shrek Academy, where he happened to run into Flander, who had just had a healing Soul Master treat his injuries. Having spent several hundred gold coins, Flander wore an expression of intense heartache.

Then, the two had a round of "warm and friendly" exchange.

In the end, Flander, now sporting a pair of panda eyes, was exceptionally eager for talent and "asked" Yun Chuan to join Shrek Academy as a teacher. Even if he merely held the title and did not usually teach the students, that would be fine.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Yun Chuan was in high spirits. He took out one hundred thousand gold coins and handed them to Flander, stating that it was a private donation to sponsor Shrek Academy. This finally gave Flander some consolation.

Afterward, Flander brought Tang Chuan to Shrek Academy and gathered all the teachers. He solemnly introduced the newly arrived Teacher Tang Chuan, an unparalleled genius who had become a Soul Saint at only twenty-five years old—at least, that was what he had told Flander. His face merely looked a little young.

The Shrek Academy teachers were stunned and exclaimed in amazement...

After briefly getting acquainted with the Shrek Academy teachers, Yun Chuan settled down there, intending to wait for Tang San to arrive. However, after staying for only one night, he could no longer endure it. The accommodations arranged for the teachers in that dump were simply indescribable. Especially the food, which consisted of nothing but steamed buns and pickled vegetables...

Having grown up in the luxury of Spirit Hall, Yun Chuan found it particularly unbearable. Thus, he decided to return to Suotuo City first and come back on the day school began.

In the reception hall of the Rose Hotel.

At this moment, a young man and woman stood at the front desk. They both appeared to be in their teens. The boy was plainly dressed and stood around 1.7 meters tall. He wore a light-blue fitted outfit, with a belt embedded with twenty-four jade stones around his waist. He was not particularly handsome, but he gave off an approachable feeling.

If the boy appeared very ordinary, then the girl beside him was exactly the opposite. Her long black hair was neatly braided into a scorpion braid that hung down to her calves. She was several inches taller than the boy. She wore a small pink top that tightly outlined her still-developing figure. Although her chest was not particularly full, her slender waist, which seemed small enough to encircle with one hand, would make countless women envious. Her long, taut legs were wrapped in white trousers, dividing her figure to perfection. Though she was still young and her face retained a trace of childishness, her round, pert little buttocks already possessed a certain charm.

This young pair was none other than the original story's male and female leads, Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Tang San was standing at the counter, preparing to rent a room. "Please give us two rooms."

The attendant behind the counter hurriedly stood up. Looking from Tang San to Xiao Wu, his eyes filled with envy as he asked, "Sir, are you sure you want two rooms?"

Tang San nodded. "Is there a problem?" A slightly suggestive look appeared in the attendant's eyes. "I'm sorry, but we only have one room left."

"One room?"

Tang San frowned. Having lived two lives, he had not felt anything when he and Xiao Wu had shared a bed as children in this life. But now that both of them were gradually taking on adult physiques, he remembered very clearly the saying that men and women should not be overly intimate.

The attendant emphasized, "Yes, only one room. But don't worry, our rooms are all very spacious and fully furnished. There is more than enough room for two people." As he spoke, he gave Tang San a look that could only be understood, not explained.

Naturally, Tang San did not understand it.

Xiao Wu said carelessly, "Then one room is fine. Didn't we always stay in the same dormitory back in Notting? What's the big deal? We can even save some money to buy pretty clothes."

Tang San shook his head helplessly. He was not a stubborn person. At worst, he could sleep on the floor. In any case, he usually needed to cultivate at night, and that was the best form of sleep.

"Alright, then please book that room for me." Just as the attendant was about to process Tang San's registration, an abrupt voice interrupted him.

"I'd say that room should belong to me." Tang San and Xiao Wu turned around at the same time. Three people had appeared behind them and were walking toward the counter.

There was one man and two women. The two girls were dressed flamboyantly and appeared to be seventeen or eighteen years old. They were tall and even slightly taller than Xiao Wu. Most astonishingly, their faces were exactly alike—they were actually a pair of twins.

However, Tang San's gaze did not fall on the twins. The person who caught his attention was the man walking between them.

The man stood around 1.8 meters tall, half a head taller than Tang San. He did not appear old, perhaps even younger than the two girls behind him. His shoulders were broad, and his handsome features carried a hint of toughness. Long golden hair cascaded down his back, reaching nearly to his waist.

His hair was not curly, but fell straight and smooth behind him. What drew the most attention were his eyes—strange, wicked eyes, each with double pupils. Within those deep-blue irises was a cold gaze, a chill that came from the depths of his heart. Evil light flickered through his half-lidded eyes. Being looked at by him felt as though one's body were being sliced by blades.

With such handsome features and those eyes, a man like him would become the center of attention wherever he went.

He was strong!

That was Tang San's first thought upon seeing him.
