First Meeting with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling

"Don't tell me you want Angel Academy to transform your Martial Soul into an angel?"

Flender knew Yu Xiaogang well. Yu Xiaogang had always harbored resentment over his mutated Martial Soul.

"Yes. Since Angel Academy can transform Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong's Martial Souls into Angel Martial Souls, perhaps mine can be changed as well."

Yu Xiaogang spoke with some excitement.

Flender opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately said nothing.

After all, Yu Xiaogang was overthinking it. Even if they could transform him, why would they?

Because of his big face? Or those bullshit top ten theories of his?

It wasn't as though Flender had never read Yu Xiaogang's theories. They were all ordinary things. If he weren't Yu Xiaogang's friend, Flender truly wouldn't have wanted to brag about them for him.

"Do as you please. But I don't know exactly where they are. They might still be in Suotuo City, though. When Tang San and the others went to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain Soul Rings some time ago, they saw them there."

"Alright."

Though Yu Xiaogang was somewhat anxious, he still calmed down.

The next day.

Sunlight blanketed the earth, and a warm breath rushed toward them. All things awakened beneath the comfortable sunshine.

With his hands clasped behind his back, Yu Xiaogang looked at the five people lined up before him.

"Tomorrow at breakfast, I expect to see you in the dining hall earlier. You cannot engage in strenuous exercise after eating."

Xiao Wu's mouth twitched. Did that lousy breakfast even need digesting?

Shrek Academy's breakfasts were still terribly poor. After all, Flender had gambled away a large amount of Gold Soul Coins.

"I have already learned about each of your Martial Souls and abilities. Starting today, I will begin your intensive training. Dai Mubai, you will be the first."

"I'm giving you a task: defeat the four of them without breaking their bones or tearing their muscles."

"Huh?"

Dai Mubai was dumbfounded, his face full of shock. Was this training him, or torturing him?

"What are you 'huh'-ing for? You're level thirty-seven. Is there a problem?"

Thus began Master Yu Xiaogang's three months of devilish training.

More than three months later.

Xu Yichen looked at Zhu Zhuqing and the other two, who had undergone tremendous changes, and felt very satisfied.

Over those three-plus months, the three trained in the Great Soul Arena every day. Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong fought two-on-two matches, while Meng Yiran fought one-on-one matches.

All three had reached the level of Gold Soul Fighting Badges, and their combat abilities had improved greatly.

Furthermore, each of them had increased their Soul Power by three levels. Meng Yiran had already reached level forty.

As long as Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong absorbed their second Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, they too would reach level forty.

"Our training in Suotuo City is basically complete. Today, you'll absorb the second Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. In a few days, after we obtain your Fourth Soul Rings, we'll need to head to Heaven Dou City."

"Really!"

After being away for so long, Ning Rongrong truly missed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect a little.

"Yes."

"Alright, take a rest today."

After Xu Yichen and Ling Xi spent some intimate time together, they headed to the Great Soul Arena.

Today was the third stage of Shrek Academy's trial. Although Shrek Academy did not have seven students, they had recruited two relatively weak students from elsewhere to make up a full team.

Xu Yichen arrived at the Great Soul Arena, already extremely familiar with the place.

Even many of the staff recognized Xu Yichen, since he was so handsome and came every day.

"Dean, what are we doing at the Great Soul Arena today?"

Ling Xi wrapped her arms around Xu Yichen's arm, her eyes slightly narrowed as she gave off a lazy air.

"We're here to recruit students. There are two of them this time, though it might be a little difficult."

Xu Yichen arrived at the seven-versus-seven Soul Fighting Arena.

Just like in the original story, Shrek Academy was facing the Imperial Fighting Team this time.

On the Imperial Fighting Team's side stood two exceptionally beautiful women.

One had short, deep-purple hair and looked remarkably heroic. She could not be called breathtakingly beautiful, but she possessed a bewitching charm. Her pair of green eyes was highly unusual, giving off a somewhat eerie feeling. Her expression was lazy, and she seemed extremely disdainful of the Shrek Academy group.

The other appeared to be in her early twenties. She was slender and graceful, dressed entirely in black, with a layer of black gauze covering her face. Her waterfall-like blue hair flowed down her back. She had an exceptionally beautiful pair of large eyes, the same color as her hair. Her gaze was calm, yet loneliness and desolation could be seen within it. Her long eyelashes curved slightly upward, and whenever they fluttered, they seemed as though they could speak.

"So it's them? They do look quite good. But does Angel Academy really only recruit girls?"

Ling Xi's lips curled slightly as she teased him.

"What? Are you jealous?"

"Me, jealous? If I were jealous, I wouldn't have let Meng Yiran enter your room four months ago."

Ling Xi rested her pretty head against Xu Yichen's shoulder, her slender, jade-like fingers lightly tapping his chest.

Xu Yichen felt a little awkward. During this time, he and Meng Yiran had indeed been cultivating rather diligently—mainly because Meng Yiran had been quite proactive.

Under Xu Yichen's diligent cultivation, Meng Yiran had become increasingly radiant and full of energy. Even her Soul Power cultivation had progressed remarkably well.

"You have no idea—when Zhu Qing and Rong Rong saw the two of you together, I was nearly furious to death. If I hadn't spoken up for you, your little harem might already have gone up in smoke."

"Then thank you."

It wasn't that Xu Yichen didn't want to win over Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

One was a little kitten with an explosively curvaceous figure; the other was a young lady who could switch freely between being a Little Demoness and a little princess. Who wouldn't like them?

They were just too young.

He was afraid the book would disappear.

As the two chatted, Shrek Academy was also defeated by Imperial Fighting Academy.

Without Ning Rongrong's support, as well as Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Shrek Academy truly was no match for Imperial Fighting Academy.

What surprised Xu Yichen, however, was that Tang San had still obtained his Eight Spider Lances.

Was this the power of a child of fate?

"Let's go. It's time for us to head over and make contact with them."

Just as the Imperial Fighting Academy students were preparing to return to the hotel, Yu Xiaogang stopped them.

Xu Yichen looked at Yu Xiaogang with great interest. He really was utterly ordinary. Xu Yichen truly didn't know whether Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong were blind to have fallen for someone like him.

It really left him speechless.

When he saw Yu Xiaogang pull Yu Tianheng away, Xu Yichen slowly walked over as well.

When the six members of Imperial Fighting Academy saw Xu Yichen's face, they froze, especially Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

"So handsome! There's actually such a handsome man in this world."

Though Ye Lingling said nothing, her calm eyes—which normally revealed no emotion whatsoever—trembled slightly, showing that she was far from composed.

PS: Brothers, should I take Ye Lingling's mother too?
