Tang San Wasn't Honest Either

With Flender's strength, Ye Feng's little display of intimidation naturally had no effect on him.

Ye Feng knew that himself.

But clearly, Ye Feng's approach had not been wrong. The moment he revealed it, he immediately stunned Flender.

"Kid, are you students who signed up for Shrek Academy this year?" Flender asked in a deliberately calm manner, putting on the airs of an esteemed senior.

But in truth, if not for his formidable strength and his forceful suppression of his surprise, he might have cried out in shock.

Judging by Ye Feng's age, he was only around eleven or twelve. Yet the Soul Power aura he released was one only a Soul King could possess.

What did that mean?

It meant that he was a peerless genius who had reached above Level 50 at only eleven or twelve years old!

Shrek Academy's admissions would begin in two days. For such a genius to appear at this time, his purpose was obvious.

It seemed Shrek Academy was about to strike gold!

"So what if we are, and so what if we aren't? You damned swindler, we haven't even settled the score with you yet!"

Ning Rongrong did not care about Flender's pretentious act. She was still fuming!

"Rongrong, this senior is no ordinary person. Don't underestimate him." Seeing Flender's expression stiffen slightly, Ye Feng knew when to stop. He reached out and tugged Ning Rongrong, secretly giving her a look.

Though Ning Rongrong was known as the little witch in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she was as docile as a kitten before Ye Feng. Upon catching his signal, she hurriedly put away her fierce side and adopted the expression of a well-behaved girl.

That speed at changing faces was truly unmatched!

"So, you really are planning to enroll at Shrek Academy?" Though he had not received a direct answer from Ye Feng, Flender's face lit up, and he nearly failed to maintain his expression.

"We do have that intention," Ye Feng gave Flender an ambiguous answer.

Ye Feng did intend to enter Shrek Academy, but how he would enter required some consideration.

After all, joining Shrek Academy meant little to him. Its only real significance lay with Tang San.

"Mm, not bad, not bad. Since you're all students, I'll give you that crystal. Take this money back as well!"

Hearing Ye Feng's words, Flender immediately perked up. Grinning, he pointed at the money pouch Ye Feng had placed on the table and spoke generously.

He looked generous, but Flender's heart was aching terribly. Still, one had to give up something to gain something. In order to leave Ye Feng with a good impression, Flender was generous for once.

"Why are you acting so strangely?" Xiao Wu's gaze circled Flender a few times, leaving her somewhat confused.

He had clearly looked like a greedy swindler just moments ago. How had he suddenly become so generous that he would not even take the money?

"We should still pay what we owe. Senior, please accept the money. We'll be taking our leave now. Goodbye." Ye Feng did not want to owe Flender a favor over a single crystal.

He had plenty of money. He simply did not want others to treat him like a fool with more money than sense.

After saying that, Ye Feng took Ning Rongrong's hand, gave Xiao Wu a look, and turned to leave without hesitation, not giving Flender any chance to speak.

If Shrek Academy wanted to gain a genius like him so easily, it would have to pay a price.

Watching the three of them leave, Flender showed no dissatisfaction. Instead, he paced about with delight written all over his face, just short of dancing with joy.

"Genius, a peerless genius! No, I have to personally oversee this year's admissions. I can't let a genius like this slip away."

"Brother Feng, is that swindler really that strong? Why did you call him Senior?" Only after leaving the shop did Xiao Wu seem to come to her senses.

"Anyone who can remain completely composed under the aura of my Soul King strength is naturally very strong." Ye Feng touched the Storage Soul Tool on his wrist, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"What? You're a Soul King?" Xiao Wu cried out. She had not paid attention to anything else, but she had clearly heard the words Soul King.

"Brother Feng is such a genius. What's so surprising about him being a Soul King?" Ning Rongrong looked at Ye Feng with admiration. Raising her chin proudly, she showed off to Xiao Wu as though it reflected glory upon herself.

"How is that possible?" Though she had received confirmation, Xiao Wu still looked unable to believe it.

She knew Ye Feng was very strong. Back then, Dai Mubai had not even made a move before directly admitting defeat.

It was precisely because she knew Ye Feng was strong that she had followed Ning Rongrong in calling him Brother Feng.

But Xiao Wu had never imagined that Ye Feng was actually a Soul King above Level 50.

She and Tang San both possessed Innate Full Soul Power, yet even now, they were only Level 29.

Ye Feng looked about the same age as them, yet he was three major realms ahead of them.

That was simply too shocking.

"Alright, there's nothing much to say about my strength. We've been wandering around for so long, so let's head back first. We can call Tang San out and have a meal together."

Ye Feng had already grown used to Xiao Wu's astonished expression.

After all, as a peerless genius, he was bound to have some troubles. Such were the troubles of a genius.

"Sure! Let me see what treasure we found this time." Ning Rongrong was overjoyed whenever she came across a good treasure. It was all thanks to her!

Very soon, the three of them returned to the hotel. At Ye Feng's suggestion, they first went to Tang San's room.

He still needed to use this treasure to lure Tang San in.

Hearing that they had returned, Tang San stopped cultivating and smiled at them. "You're back!"

"Hmph!" Xiao Wu still looked angry.

Ignoring Tang San, Xiao Wu turned to Ye Feng. "Brother Feng, you said that crystal was a treasure, but why do I feel like you got cheated? Take it out and let me have a look."

"Sure." Ye Feng nodded and brushed his wrist. The head-sized crystal appeared in his hand.

Even if Xiao Wu had not asked, he would have found an opportunity to take it out.

Sure enough, the moment the crystal appeared, Tang San's gaze was firmly drawn to it.

"This... it's actually Plank Crystal." Tang San stared excitedly at the crystal in Ye Feng's hand. That burning gaze was so intense that anyone unaware of the truth might have thought he was looking at a peerless beauty.

"Brother Tang San, you recognize it?" Ye Feng looked curiously at Tang San, preparing to watch him show off.

"Don't you know what this is?" Tang San froze at the question, then his gaze flickered away. If one looked closely, one could even see the stiffness in his expression.

This guy isn't being honest. If that's the case, don't blame me later.

"Heh, I only know that this thing is a treasure. As for what it actually is, we'll have to find someone to study it," Ye Feng said casually.

"A treasure?" Ye Feng's words made Tang San's expression stiffen. Then a wave of shame surged into his heart. The sharp rise and fall of his emotions left him somewhat flustered.

So Ye Feng knew it was a treasure...
