Ling Luochen

Shrek Academy was located in the southeastern part of the Heaven Dou Empire. To its southeast lay the Star Dou Great Forest, to the east was the Dou Ling Empire, and to the south was the Star Luo Empire. It could be said to stand at the very heart of the three great empires' borderlands.

Chen Feng's round trip to the Extreme North had taken a full half month. By now, Shrek Academy was in the midst of new student registration.

On Douluo Continent, Shrek City was one of the foremost major cities, home to over two million people.

Shrek Academy held absolute authority over the city and even possessed its own army, numbering a full ten thousand soldiers, three thousand of whom were Soul Masters.

The Shrek Army's might was renowned across the continent. During the Holy War between Sun Moon Continent and Douluo Continent, the armies of Douluo Continent's nations had suffered defeat after defeat. Shrek Academy had dispatched three thousand Shrek soldiers, who forcibly held back the Sun Moon Empire's great army for fifteen days, buying the nations of Douluo Continent enough time to fully mobilize their forces. Only then had Douluo Continent achieved victory.

These people were utterly loyal to Shrek Academy. Rather than calling Shrek Academy an academy, it would be more accurate to call it a small nation—an exceptionally powerful one at that.

Shrek Academy was not located in the center of Shrek City, but in its eastern district, as that side faced the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Shrek City occupied an excellent location. Not only was it home to Shrek Academy, but it was also the most important commercial city at the junction of the three original great empires of Douluo Continent.

With Shrek Academy's formidable presence, Shrek City's public security was outstanding. Trade here was not only fair, but also reassuringly safe. Therefore, merchants from the three great empires generally chose Shrek City when conducting cross-border trade.

Shrek City's south, west, and north gates were open for anyone to enter and leave freely. Only the East Gate was reserved exclusively for Shrek Academy.

Chen Feng arrived outside the city gate. At least eight thousand people had gathered there, creating an extraordinarily lively scene. Countless vendors hoped to make a fortune during the enrollment period, when crowds were at their largest. After all, those coming to enroll at Shrek Academy were Soul Masters, every one of them either wealthy or noble.

The academy's enrollment period lasted half a month. Today was the sixth day, while Huo Yuhao had arrived at Shrek Academy on the very first day.

From the moment Chen Feng entered Shrek City, he had drawn countless gazes. His flawless features, sharp brows and starry eyes, deep dark eyes, and faintly glowing skin made him so handsome it was ridiculous. Along the way, many women watched Chen Feng with burning looks.

Quite a few bold women even approached him directly, and there was more than one of them.

But now, no one dared approach Chen Feng, because a beautiful woman dressed in the red uniform of a Shrek Inner Court disciple stood beside him.

On Shrek Academy's territory, Inner Court disciples held extremely high status and enjoyed all manner of privileges. Added to that, this female Inner Court disciple was beautiful. The girls who had wanted to approach Chen Feng felt inferior and no longer dared step forward to strike up a conversation with him.

The woman appeared to be seventeen or eighteen years old. She was beautiful and captivating, with fair skin, and she seemed weightless as she walked. Yet her temperament was cold, giving her the air of a proud plum blossom.

Chen Feng's spiritual power was exceptionally strong. Through his perception, he could tell that this woman had already reached the Soul King level. She could truly be called extraordinarily talented.

Ling Luochen looked at Chen Feng's perfect, slightly youthful handsome face and said, "My name is Ling Luochen. I am an Inner Court student, a level fifty-two Control System Battle Soul King. You're a new student here to register at Shrek Academy, aren't you? What is your name?"

Ling Luochen had just returned to Shrek City after completing a mission when she happened to spot Chen Feng being surrounded by women of all ages.

At first, she had only glanced at him out of curiosity. Yet after that one glance, she could not look away. Don't misunderstand—it was not love at first sight. Rather, Ling Luochen discovered that her Martial Soul was actually afraid of that young man and was trembling uncontrollably.

This anomaly immediately aroused Ling Luochen's curiosity. She decided at once to find out what method this young man had used to make her Martial Soul tremble. After all, her Martial Soul was a top-tier Ice Element Martial Soul.

After hearing the woman's introduction, Chen Feng immediately knew who she was. Wasn't this Ling Luochen, who had represented Shrek Academy in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Battle Competition in the original story?

Chen Feng immediately smiled. "Hello, my name is Chen Feng. I'm a new student here to register at Shrek Academy."

Ling Luochen and Chen Feng then began chatting. Chen Feng had never intended to hide his second Martial Soul, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, after coming to Shrek Academy. He intended for Shrek Academy to protect and cultivate him with all its strength.

Thus, under Ling Luochen's deliberate questioning, Chen Feng revealed that his second Martial Soul was the Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Ling Luochen's large eyes widened in shock. Twin Martial Souls! Ice Jade Scorpion! An Ultimate Ice Martial Soul!

Ling Luochen suddenly understood, thinking to herself, No wonder my Martial Soul was trembling. So it was an Ultimate Martial Soul. That explains it.

At this moment, Chen Feng thought to himself, My control over the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul is far too poor. Ling Luochen actually sensed the aura leaking from it.

Although that was because this Martial Soul was not innate, but bestowed upon me by the Ice Empress, and I only acquired it recently, so it was inevitable that I would not have fully mastered it yet. I should strengthen my control over my second Martial Soul. It does not need to be as effortless as the Soul Breaking Blade, but it must at least reach the level of an elite Soul Master.

From the corner of her eye, Ling Luochen studied Chen Feng's perfect profile. Her beautiful face remained as cold as ever, but her thoughts surged one after another.

Handsome and extraordinary, with an Ultimate Ice attribute Martial Soul. His cultivation had already reached the Soul Elder level, and he even possessed Twin Martial Souls. His talent was exceptional, and he suited me well too. If his Ultimate Ice could assist my cultivation, then my Martial Soul should be...

But the age difference between us is rather large... Would that make me an old cow eating tender grass...

For a time, the two fell silent, each absorbed in their own thoughts.

Before long, Chen Feng arrived at Shrek City's East Gate, where new student registration was currently underway.

The East Gate also had the greatest number of vendors. The crowds were so dense that people were packed shoulder to shoulder.

However, beside Chen Feng stood an Inner Court disciple of Shrek Academy. The moment Ling Luochen appeared, all the vendors and students hurriedly moved aside, clearing a path for Ling Luochen and Chen Feng.

"That red uniform belongs to an Inner Court disciple of Shrek Academy!"

"That's Miss Ling Luochen from the Inner Court. Didn't she always dislike men getting close to her? Who's the man beside her?"

"That boy is so handsome!"
