Sea God Pavilion.

Mu En lay calmly in his recliner while Yan Shaozhe, having just finished handling official business, stood respectfully by his side.

Mu En slowly said, "Shaozhe, set aside the matters in your hands for the next couple of days and hand them over to Mei'er."

"I've already spoken with Xiao Lin. Go pick out some gifts from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, make a trip to Tianyuan City, reconnect with your old friend properly, and convey the academy's intentions."

Yan Shaozhe froze for a moment upon hearing this, then delight appeared on his face. "Teacher really has thought this through. I'll set out first thing tomorrow morning."

Mu En shook his head helplessly. "You, when will you ever develop this kind of broader perspective? That way, before Sichen has fully grown, you can watch over him more as well."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Yan Shaozhe's face. "Teacher, while I may not compare to you, I should still be capable of watching over Zhou Sichen, shouldn't I?"

Mu En shot Yan Shaozhe a glare. "You? You obsess over every trivial matter, yet when it comes to major matters, you're full of holes. I even suspect that after I'm gone, you brat will have to consult Sichen!"

Hearing his teacher's criticism, Yan Shaozhe did not dare argue, merely explaining helplessly, "Teacher, nothing will happen to you. But saying that really hurts me. He's only a twelve-year-old child. Is he really as extraordinary as you say?"

Mu En chuckled. "You don't understand. Just wait and see. That child Sichen truly is a miracle—a miracle for Shrek as well."

Then Mu En waved his hand. "Go. Let me have some quiet."

His teacher was starting to find him bothersome, so Yan Shaozhe could not linger. After respectfully bowing, he slowly withdrew from the Sea God Pavilion.

Before leaving, Yan Shaozhe also went to see Ma Xiaotao. Since even his teacher had evaluated Zhou Sichen so highly, there was no way he would let this kid slip away.

At the Inner Court Soul Dueling Arena, Zhou Sichen's appearance instantly drew everyone's attention.

Even those who had not witnessed his battle against Ma Xiaotao yesterday had heard from others just how terrifying Zhou Sichen was.

With the strength of a Level 38 Soul Elder, he had won thirty points from Ma Xiaotao.

When a lower-level participant defeated a higher-level one, not only were the points doubled, but the points earned were deducted directly from the higher-level participant.

With a monster like Zhou Sichen around, plenty of people in the Inner Court would inevitably have their points won away by him in the future.

After all, Zhou Sichen had fought Ma Xiaotao. How many people in the Inner Court could rival Ma Xiaotao?

When Zhou Sichen entered the Soul Dueling Arena, all the young women at the points counter wore lovestruck smiles.

Zhou Sichen handed over his points card. "Elder Sister, please register me."

The young woman beamed. "Open or anonymous?"

Zhou Sichen considered it. "Anonymous. I'm afraid no one will dare choose me otherwise."

"Alright. Any restrictions on level?"

"Anyone below Soul Saint is fine."

The moment those words fell, the noisy arena visibly fell silent, so quiet one could nearly hear a pin drop.

Other than those currently dueling, everyone watching Zhou Sichen's movements could not help sucking in a sharp breath...

Below Soul Saint...

Was this really a junior who had just entered the Inner Court?

Yet with his legendary record of battling Ma Xiaotao, no one questioned Zhou Sichen.

Everyone prayed they would not encounter this monster, because none of them were confident they could win!

In truth, given Zhou Sichen's current strength, probably no one below the Titled Douluo realm could defeat him.

A fifteen-thousand-year Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear was more than enough to handle an ordinary Titled Douluo, alright...

Dressed in Shrek Academy Inner Court's specially made red uniform, Zhou Sichen looked like a monster in everyone else's eyes—a monster no one wanted to face.

If they knew Zhou Sichen's true strength now, they would probably go mad.

Dugu Xianmeng looked at Zhou Sichen with a smile. "Your battle yesterday made you a legend. Once they see you registering, I doubt any of them will dare sign up."

Zhou Sichen replied, "Probably not. Aren't Shrek's geniuses all unwilling to admit defeat? How could they be discouraged so easily?"

Hearing their exchange, everyone else's expressions shifted between green and purple.

Wasn't that clearly mocking them? Or did this junior really think that way?

But that was a Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear! A Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear nearing the Ten Thousand Year Level! It was not something one could defeat just by talking about it.

Hadn't they seen that even Flame Maniac Ma Xiaotao had not dared fight it at close range yesterday?

After registering, Zhou Sichen and Dugu Xianmeng went directly to the spectator stands, found seats, and waited for the results.

Zhou Sichen looked at Dugu Xianmeng. "Sister Xianmeng, aren't you registering?"

Dugu Xianmeng rolled her eyes. "Asking me to register now—are you planning to use the Ice Jade Scorpion to bully me again?"

Zhou Sichen smiled faintly. But I registered anonymously, which means random matching. You could completely register openly.

Just say it if you want to spend more time with me. Anyone who didn't know better would think you always chose random matching!

While Zhou Sichen waited, he mostly chatted with Dugu Xianmeng, and more and more people filled the Soul Dueling Arena.

There was no other reason. They had all come to see Zhou Sichen.

Or rather, they all wanted to witness those Three Purple Soul Rings and his heaven-defying Contracted Soul Beasts in battle...

Suddenly, intense cheers erupted through the arena as a tall, sweet-looking figure entered, surrounded by many people.

When Dugu Xianmeng saw this great beauty, she could not help raising her brows. "Golden Fairy Han Ruoruo. I didn't expect she had already returned to the academy."

Hearing Dugu Xianmeng's words, Zhou Sichen could not help focusing his gaze in that direction as well.

Han Ruoruo swept her gaze over the Soul Dueling Arena, and her eyes happened to meet Zhou Sichen's.

Zhou Sichen and Han Ruoruo both revealed warm, sweet smiles.

Noticing this, Dugu Xianmeng secretly gritted her teeth. As expected of a senior sister!

I just hope this little brat doesn't get conquered by her beauty. There really are quite a few stunning beauties in the academy...

For relatively ordinary people, the Inner Court indeed had far more men than women. But for a super genius like Zhou Sichen, he was the prized catch!

Zhou Sichen quickly withdrew his gaze. Dugu Xianmeng huffed. "Senior Sister Ruoruo is a Soul Saint, and she rarely comes here. Yet she stared at you the moment she entered. I'd say she most likely came specifically for you."

Zhou Sichen raised his brows slightly. It seemed that news of how he had suppressed and defeated Ma Xiaotao had most likely reached this Golden Fairy's ears.

And that was indeed the case. Han Ruoruo had just returned to the academy after completing an assessment mission when she heard about Zhou Sichen. Learning that he had come to the Soul Dueling Arena, she decided to come take a look.

She wanted to see this super genius junior who had defeated Ma Xiaotao the moment he entered the academy and even alarmed Xuan Zi and the others.

It had to be said, that brief exchange of gazes had confirmed one thing for Han Ruoruo: this junior was quite handsome!

Still, Han Ruoruo somewhat admired Zhou Sichen. There were not many people in the academy who dared get close to Poison Witch Dugu Xianmeng.

Of course, Han Ruoruo did not harbor any aversion toward Dugu Xianmeng. She was merely stating the facts.

The deadly poison of the Jade-Scaled Serpent was not something just anyone dared touch.

What was more, Dugu Xianmeng possessed the even more terrifying Jade Phosphorus Five Poisons.

Han Ruoruo's appearance likewise drew countless gazes. This Golden Fairy was the dream lover of who knew how many people.

She casually walked into the Soul Dueling Arena and chose a less crowded spot to sit down.

She had come today only to watch Zhou Sichen's performance. Three Purple Soul Rings, rare Contracted Soul Beasts nearing the Ten Thousand Year Level...
