Zhu Zhuqing: Aren't You Two Going a Little Overboard?

Flender: I could've sworn I didn't even blink. How did it end just like that?

The referee had only just finished introducing Luo Ye and his opponent to the audience and announced the start of the soul fight when, in the very next second, the other contestant lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Obviously, this was Luo Ye's doing.

Looking at the faint golden light around Luo Ye's blue eyes, as well as the three soul rings circling his body—two yellow and one purple—

Flender stroked his chin and clicked his tongue.

"Could it really be as Zhao Wuji said? Is Luo Ye's Spiritual Power far beyond even ours? But this kid is only a Soul Elder. Are two Soul Sages like us really inferior to him?"

"Even if awakening an eye-type martial soul enhanced his Spiritual Power, it shouldn't have increased to such an absurd extent, should it?"

Flender couldn't understand it, but he was deeply shaken.

At that moment, Flender missed Yu Xiaogang immensely.

In his view, if Yu Xiaogang had been present, then with his research into martial souls, he would definitely have been able to see at a glance why Luo Ye's Spiritual Power was so powerful.

"According to Tang San, Xiaogang has already left that junior academy in Nuoding City to travel around and clear his mind."

"Knowing him, he definitely won't be able to stop worrying about Tang San, his disciple. It might not be long before Xiaogang comes to Shrek."

"When that happens, I have to find a way to keep Xiaogang here and make him a teacher at Shrek too. With his help, we'll definitely be able to raise these little monsters into the strongest experts!"

Relying on his powerful Spiritual Power, Luo Ye noticed Flender's gaze. He lowered his head to look at the three soul rings on his body, and a subtle smile appeared on his face.

The benefits brought by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's sacrifice really were enormous. Not only did I gain four million-year soul skills and undergo a qualitative transformation in Spiritual Power, but it also sealed all of its energy within my body.

The energy of a million-year soul beast like Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is simply too vast. If I absorbed it directly, my body would burst apart. I can only digest it bit by bit this way.

But how long has it even been? My first two soul rings have already been upgraded to the thousand-year level because of it. Luckily, the Simulated Soul Skill can help me conceal them, so this secret won't be exposed.

Come to think of it, competing in soul fights right now is practically bullying.

Forget Three-Ring Soul Elders of the same rank—even ordinary Titled Douluo might not possess Spiritual Power as strong as mine. And my soul skill is Soul Impact. No matter who it is, I can one-shot a Soul Elder of the same rank.

Tch. Since Flender has already noticed the strength of my Spiritual Power, he'll probably have me earn quite a bit of money for him in the Soul Fighting Arena from now on. Just thinking about it is annoying.

More importantly, all the money he earns off us gets used to help Ma Hongjun visit brothels and find women, letting him vent his evil fire that way. That's what's truly disgusting.

As the academy's dean, instead of thinking of better solutions, he takes his student to brothels. I really don't know how this guy's brain works.

Upon seeing this, all the Diary Instance holders shuddered in disgust. Whether or not they had met or heard of Flender before, their impression of him had already sunk to rock bottom.

Just as Luo Ye had said, Shrek Academy reeked of unreliability from top to bottom.

Everyone else felt that way, let alone Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong, the three who were already students of Shrek Academy.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu's soul fight had just ended. Zhu Zhuqing had fallen just short and lost to Xiao Wu, whose Soul Power was two levels higher than hers.

They had only just stepped down from the soul fighting platform and returned to Ning Rongrong's side when they saw this entry.

The three girls exchanged glances, each clearly seeing the intense disdain in the others' eyes.

Ning Rongrong curled her lips.

"I already knew he wasn't a good person when I saw him pestering Cuihua before. I never expected him to be this outrageous."

Xiao Wu's heart was likewise filled with contempt. Shrek Academy was practically a foul-smelling cesspit filled with every kind of trash.

"Didn't Luo Ye say it himself? Even Flender, the dean, personally takes him to brothels. You can imagine just how rotten Shrek Academy must be."

Zhu Zhuqing did not react as strongly as the other two. More accurately, she did not care much at all, saying indifferently, "How could someone who shares a dorm with Dai Mubai possibly be a good person? But it has nothing to do with us anymore. Sooner or later, we'll leave Shrek Academy anyway."

"The worse they perform, the easier it'll be to defeat them once we completely fall out and become enemies in the future."

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong nodded at the same time, strongly agreeing with Zhu Zhuqing's view.

According to what Luo Ye had written in the diary, if they left Shrek Academy with Luo Ye, they would inevitably cross blades with Tang San and the others in the future. The conflict between them could not be reconciled.

If the people of Shrek Academy remained this pathetic, that would naturally be the best possible outcome for them.

When they saw Luo Ye step down from the soul fighting platform and head toward where they were, the three of them quickly stopped discussing the matter.

Zhu Zhuqing had just been about to praise Luo Ye when Ning Rongrong beside her beat her to it.

"Luo Ye, you're amazing! The soul fight had only just begun, and before your opponent could even react, you directly one-shot him."

Xiao Wu was unwilling to fall behind as well.

"That's right, that's right. You're clearly a control-type soul master, but your combat strength is even greater than that of most assault-type Soul Elders."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the two of them, her eyes filled with astonishment.

Seriously, sisters, are you two competing this hard?

I'm the one closest to Luo Ye right now, so why are you acting even more excited than me after seeing him win?

Is this really okay, girls?

Even Luo Ye was caught off guard by them. After recovering, he coughed dryly twice.

"Just luck, just luck."

Sensing Zhu Zhuqing's resentful gaze, Ning Rongrong hurriedly said.

"Alright, Zhuqing, let's go take part in the two-on-two spirit fight first. Luo Ye can observe how we work together and give us some pointers afterward."

Helpless, Zhu Zhuqing could only agree. She had originally wanted to chat with Luo Ye a little longer.

Xiao Wu had wanted to seize the chance to talk with Luo Ye as well, but Tang San's one-on-one match had ended too. He also called her over to participate in a two-on-two spirit fight.

After everyone had left, Oscar, who had been watching from nearby the whole time, finally approached. After hesitating several times, he ultimately gritted his teeth and asked, "Luo Ye, can you teach me how you got Ning Rongrong to treat you like that?"
