Ning Rongrong Shuts Down

Xiao Xian felt a little helpless. He was already sleepy and exhausted.

He had been hoping to seize the chance to nap for half an hour.

"Stop shaking me, stop shaking me. I'll lend you my Martial Soul. Figure it out yourself."

Xiao Xian pulled his hand out of Xiao Wu's embrace and aimed his right hand outside the door. Purple Soul Power surged wildly from his palm in an instant, landing on the ground outside.

A Purple-Haired Dragon Dog nearly three meters long took shape in an instant.

With a casual wave, Xiao Xian placed his three soul rings around Xiao Jue. "Xiao Jue, just listen to Xiao Wu's commands."

"Brother Xian, you really became a Soul Elder?! Xiao Jue has changed so much!" Seeing Xiao Xian's purple soul rings and the enormous Xiao Jue, Xiao Wu was immediately startled.

Especially since Xiao Jue radiated a trace of dragon might!

On the way to Suotuo City, she and Tang San had discussed whether Xiao Xian had already become a Soul Elder.

Tang San had been certain he could do it, but Xiao Wu had reserved judgment. After all, that little Innate Soul Power...

Who would have thought!

Xiao Xian lay lazily on the bed and said, "If you'd worked a little harder, you'd probably have become a Soul Elder long ago."

"..."

"Bleh, bleh, bleh~" Xiao Wu fell silent for a second, then stuck out her tongue at him, pulled a face, and skipped outside.

Xiao Wu and Xiao Jue had fought many times before, so they were old acquaintances.

"Xiao Jue, let's go!" She instinctively put on the air of Nuoding Academy's big sister and wanted to pat Xiao Jue's huge head. But under its dangerous gaze, Xiao Wu still restrained her hand.

She had not been able to beat it before. Now... she probably would not even be enough for a snack.

"..."

After that,

Surprised voices seemed to come from the girls outside.

Clearly, they had never seen a Beast Martial Soul that could leave its owner's body and possessed intelligence.

However, with Xiao Jue's help, the dust and miscellaneous clutter inside the wooden cabins were quickly blown outside.

Their remaining cleanup became much easier, though the girl in the white dress looked rather disgusted and moved very slowly.

Tang San also finished tidying up quickly.

After a year, his body was once again filled with Sunlight Spores, and he was brimming with energy.

The power of his Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon suddenly increased severalfold.

Blowing Fire Palm in his left hand and Suction Palm in his right, he effortlessly whipped up a gale and held every speck of dust firmly under control.

Xiao Wu and the others had nearly finished cleaning up and laid out all the bedding. She would be sharing a room with the girl in the white dress.

The other girl, who gave off an icy aura, would stay alone. She chose an empty little wooden cabin that was surprisingly clean, except... it had no furniture at all, not even a bed.

Xiao Wu enthusiastically helped her carry in a bed.

Xiao Jue seemed a little unhappy when it saw her choose that room, but it could not speak...

"..."

After Tang San finished cleaning up, he silently stood outside Xiao Xian's dormitory.

He had originally planned to talk with Xiao Xian about their cultivation over the past year, about Master, about his father who had never shown himself, and about Xiao Wu.

But Xiao Xian had fallen asleep and looked extremely tired...

Xiao Wu and the others came over as well. Seeing this, they chose not to disturb Xiao Xian and decided that the four of them would wander around Shrek Academy together.

"Xiao San, come on! Your Senior Brother isn't going anywhere!" Xiao Wu waved to him from a distance.

Tang San looked a little hesitant.

At that moment,

"Looks like you've all finished tidying up." Xiao Xian stretched and slowly walked out of the dormitory.

"Senior Brother, you're awake!"

Xiao Xian patted Tang San's shoulder and handed him several water skins.

"Mm, I've rested enough. Let's go. I'll show you around. There's actually not much to see at Shrek."

After recalling Xiao Jue, Xiao Xian lazily jumped onto its back and sat down as usual.

First, they all introduced themselves to one another.

Then Xiao Xian led them around and introduced them to the other teachers.

The girl in the white dress was naturally Ning Rongrong.

At this point, her little witch nature had not yet been exposed. She still looked delicate and sweet, telling Xiao Xian to just call her Rong Rong.

The icy girl was, of course, Zhu Zhuqing. She had probably just escaped from a pursuit and suffered considerable psychological trauma, making her quiet and withdrawn.

The teachers of Shrek Academy were all delighted to see that four more students had arrived this year.

That meant there were actually eight students in this batch, the first time in Shrek's history that the number of students exceeded the number of teachers.

"That's Oscar, my roommate. His sausage Martial Soul gave him Innate Full Soul Power, and he's Level 29. He'll probably become a Soul Elder soon."

Xiao Xian pointed from afar at Oscar, who was selling sausages.

His beard was still very long. His peach-blossom eyes blinked as he looked busy but delighted.

Quite a few boys and girls who had passed the first test were gathered around him buying sausages.

These were the only two days each year when his business was this good.

"A Support System Spirit Master with Innate Full Soul Power?!" Ning Rongrong, the girl in the white dress, looked unconvinced and even skeptical.

"Mm, and there's one standing beside you too. Tang San is Food System, and half Control System. He also has Innate Full Soul Power and is also Level 29. You've already seen his strength."

"Oh, Xiao Wu also has Innate Full Soul Power, though she isn't Support System."

"The Spirit Hall Certificates are right here, so there's no reason to lie to you. By the way, your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda should be very strong. What level are you now? Don't tell me you don't have Innate Full Soul Power?"

Sitting on Xiao Jue, Xiao Xian asked lazily.

He had the look of saying, "We all do. What, you don't?" Clearly, he was teasing her.

Ning Rongrong immediately shut down a little.

Including her, Shrek Academy had three Support System Spirit Masters, yet she was the only one without Innate Full Soul Power?!

And her Soul Power was the lowest among them?!

She was the only Spirit Master in the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect who could break through Level 20 before the age of twelve!

For the rest of the tour, she became even quieter than Zhu Zhuqing.

"That's the cafeteria. Teacher Shao Xin, whom you met earlier, is in charge of it. I forgot to mention that he's a Food System Spirit Saint. His Martial Soul is Sugar Bean, and its effects are quite good."

"That's Ma Hongjun. His Martial Soul is a Mutated Phoenix. He's the Dean's disciple and should be Level 28 now. He's about your age. You can call him Fatty, or Hongjun."

After searching for quite a while, Xiao Xian finally found Ma Hongjun in the other half of the village outside Shrek Academy. He was pulling and tugging with a young woman.

When he saw Xiao Xian bringing several people over, especially three pretty-looking girls, his eyes immediately lit up and he wanted to come over.

Xiao Xian gave him a warning look.

Ma Hongjun immediately shrank back in disappointment. He chose to cherish what he already had and continued pulling and tugging with that young woman.

"All right, that's about it."

"These are the teachers, and we students are all there is."

"Other than the Dean, you've met everyone."

"School doesn't start until tomorrow. Just follow instructions then. For now, dismissed. Do whatever you want."

The four of them were somewhat surprised by Xiao Xian's words.

Apart from them, the entire academy only had four students?

"Monsters aren't found everywhere. You barely count as having reached the threshold of being monsters." Xiao Xian glanced at them, still looking lazy. He had taken several breaks along the way and was truly exhausted.

"Xiao San, come with me."
