Shrek Opens for the Term

Right after that, some movement came from Flender's residence as well.

Xiao Xian simply closed his eyes and continued cultivating, pretending not to hear it.

Tang San was his Junior Brother and his little brother, but Tang Hao was not his uncle.

Go over there early and try to curry favor?

The things in his Soul Tool told him not to play with fire.

He really could die.

The kind where his bones would be crushed and his ashes scattered.

"..."

After a while, Zhao Wuji and Flender seemed to have returned.

Along the way, Flender was feeling rather emotional.

The ordinary-looking Tang San was actually that man's son. No wonder his talent was so outstanding. But why was his Martial Soul only Blue Silver Grass?

Clear Sky Sect, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

His tiny Shrek had actually gathered disciples from all three Upper Three Sects?!

And every one of them was such a genius.

Especially Xiao Xian, who had broken through the innate shackles. If he could maintain his current rate of progress...

When Flender returned from Suotuo City, he had taken a glance.

The Soul Power fluctuations around Xiao Xian had grown stronger again.

At least level thirty-two.

The corners of Flender's mouth curled up slightly, a sharp glint flashing through his eyes.

In his lifetime, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan might just change its name to the Light Holy Dragon Sect!

The strongest Beast Martial Soul in the world, the strongest Summoning System Soul Master in the world...

Both the Spirit Master and the Martial Soul possessed combat strength.

Two against one—who could stand against them at the same realm?

Xiao Gang, these were your disciples!

Disciples destined to become renowned across the continent!

It was just a pity. Why couldn't you break through your own shackles...

"..."

Early the next morning, Xiao Xian and Tang San nearly pushed open the dormitory door at the same time.

This was their habit: cultivating the Purple Demon Eye.

"Senior Brother!" The moment Tang San saw Xiao Xian, a smile appeared on his face.

"Xiao San, you're still as diligent as ever." Xiao Xian patted his shoulder, then pointed toward the roof of a building some distance away. It was the tallest building in all of Shrek, Flender's residence. "Go on. Xiao Jue is already cultivating."

"Yes, Senior Brother!"

This was a habit Tang San had developed back in Nuoding City.

Every morning, he cultivated alongside Xiao Jue, then had Xiao Jue replenish his Sunlight Spores to sustain that day's consumption.

Sometimes Xiao Xian joined them, and sometimes he did not.

Watching Tang San leap onto the roof, Xiao Xian shook his head helplessly and returned to the dormitory. Facing the window, he made do with his cultivation.

Through the Sunlight Spores, he sensed Tang San's progress. He finished a step ahead of him and walked out of the dormitory.

Xiao Xian watched Tang San lightly tap the air, step through the sky several times in succession, and land steadily on the ground. He could not help nodding.

"Without the Sunlight Spores, your Violent Step has improved quite a bit too! Come on, let's get something to eat. Then I'll take you to see the Dean."

"Alright, I'll go call Xiao Wu." Tang San nodded.

"Mm, go ahead." Xiao Xian remained where he was, silently recalling the Soul Power circulation route Tang San had used in his Violent Step just now and extracting the parts he needed from it.

"..."

Tang San stood at the door and quietly called for Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu came out stretching, while telling Tang San to keep his voice down.

For some reason, Ning Rongrong had been especially diligent. The moment she returned yesterday, she had begun meditating and cultivating, and she still had not finished.

It had made Xiao Wu afraid to even freshen up a little. She had not even changed clothes.

"Hey, let's go! Time to eat!" Seeing Xiao Xian standing there with his head lowered, spacing out over who knew what, Xiao Wu cheerfully shoved him as usual.

Xiao Xian came back to himself and looked up at Xiao Wu with a faint smile. "When you need me, you call me Brother Xian. When you don't, you call me hey?"

At that, Tang San could barely hold back his laughter and nearly burst out laughing where he stood.

Xiao Wu got a little flustered. "Hmph! Annoying guy! Eat or don't eat, I don't care! Xiao San! We'll go by ourselves!"

Only then did she notice Tang San's expression, and she immediately shot him a dangerous glare.

Although the three made their way to the cafeteria amid playful bickering, Tang San felt especially warm inside. His Senior Brother was here, and so was his little sister.

They had finally gathered together again.

Tang San was even a little dazed, unable to stop himself from thinking of the day six years ago when they had returned to Sacred Soul Village together.

"..."

There was no one in the cafeteria. After the three had eaten for a while, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong arrived one after another. Dai Mubai came much later, dragging along a disgruntled-looking Ma Hongjun. It was unclear whether Cuihua had broken up with him again.

But when he saw the girls in the academy again, his displeasure instantly vanished, and his eyes went wide.

Dai Mubai helplessly nudged him with his hand, telling him to watch himself, then quietly said something else to him.

Ma Hongjun seemed to remember something as well and began eating breakfast dejectedly.

As for Oscar, he had still been asleep when Xiao Xian came out. He could provide for himself and generally did not eat breakfast in the cafeteria. He also got up later.

A while later.

Teacher Shao Xin brought out a basin of meat from the kitchen. Ma Hongjun's eyes first lit up, only for him to immediately wilt again.

That was because Shao Xin was carrying the basin of meat toward a familiar spot—the corner of the cafeteria.

"Teacher Shao, I'll do it myself." Xiao Xian saw this and immediately got to his feet, taking it from Shao Xin.

This was basically all for Xiao Jue. Shao Xin would process it first to a certain degree, and there were even some candy beans mixed in.

At Xiao Jue's current stage, food supplements had almost negligible effects, but they added up over time.

Xiao Xian placed the basin of meat in the cafeteria corner. There was an open space three or four meters long there. Then he stared outside the cafeteria and moved his mind.

A streak of purple light flashed at incredible speed, shooting in from outside the cafeteria and entering Xiao Xian's body.

He circulated the slightly enlarged mass of Soul Power within him and assimilated it. Extending his right hand, Soul Power surged.

A streak of violet Soul Power fell from his palm to the ground, transforming into a Purple-Haired Dragon Dog.

Xiao Xian casually placed the three Soul Rings that emerged around him onto Xiao Jue, then returned to his seat.

His control over Soul Power had grown increasingly stronger.

Originally, after Xiao Jue cultivated all night and returned to his body, he would need to meditate for a while at minimum. But now, just a few breaths were enough for him to absorb and digest everything completely.

Ning Rongrong was rather surprised. Martial Souls needed to eat too?

Zhu Zhuqing also glanced at Xiao Jue.

The Dragon Dog was nearly three meters long and far too conspicuous. It even ate better than they did, while the meat on their plates was pitifully scarce.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, and the others were already used to it.

Dai Mubai even explained that Xiao Xian paid extra for food expenses every month.

"Senior Brother, school starts today. Tell us about the academy's courses." Having finished eating, Tang San could not help asking.

Even now, he did not know anything about the schedule.

But his classmates were stranger than the last.

There was a White Tiger, a Phoenix, and even an Innate Full Soul Power sausage.

He was panicking.

Zhu Zhuqing had originally finished eating and intended to get up and leave. Hearing Tang San's words, she silently listened as well.

Xiao Xian pushed the plate in front of him and said lazily, "Courses? I'm different from you. I don't attend classes. Let Boss Dai explain it to you."

Dai Mubai froze, just about to speak.

But Zhu Zhuqing stood up directly. "I'm full." She turned and walked outside.
