'Sign in...'
'Shao Xin, Martial Soul: Sugar Bean, Level 71 Food-Type Soul Saint. Choose: deprive Shao Xin of 0.5 levels of Soul Power...'
'Deprivation successful. The host's current Soul Power is Level 33...'
While Zhao Zilong was depriving Shao Xin of his Soul Power, Shao Xin had already made three Sugar Beans. He said, "Here you go! A green one for healing, a black one for restoring Soul Power, and a blue one for increasing speed."
"Thank you, Teacher Shao Xin..." After taking the Sugar Beans, Zhao Zilong immediately left. After all, getting the Sugar Beans was an excuse; signing in was what he had really come for.
'Task completed: sign in with five of Shrek's teachers. Reward: movement technique, Lingbo Weibu.'
He looked at the panel before him:
'Name: Zhao Zilong;
Age: 12;
Martial Soul: Blue Silver Emperor (intermediate Martial Soul, Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline not awakened);
Innate Soul Power: Level 3.5;
Soul Power: Level 33;
Soul Rings: First Soul Ring, 999 years; Second Soul Ring, 999 years; Third Soul Ring, 5,100 years;
Soul Skills: First Soul Skill: Bamboo Leaf Sword Rain (Soul Ring obtained from Ghost Bamboo; every bamboo leaf is as sharp as a blade); Second Soul Skill: Heartbreak Poison (Soul Ring obtained from Heartbreak Grass; gives the Blue Silver Grass deadly poison); Third Soul Skill: Spider Web Bind (Soul Ring obtained from a Man Faced Demon Spider; an area-of-effect Soul Skill that can target one person or a group)
Special abilities: Tang Sect Hidden Weapon Techniques, Tang Sect Hundred Poisons, Lingbo Weibu...'
External Soul Bone: Eight Spider Lances. Soul Skill: Enhance (increases all attributes by 50); Soul Skill: Devour (devours the opponent's Soul Power and fully replenishes his own Soul Power expenditure, with deadly poison as an added effect)
Looking at this reward, Zhao Zilong couldn't help rubbing his chin and thinking, Lingbo Weibu. I wonder which is stronger, this or Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.
The system's voice came through: 'That still depends on how fast the user is. In terms of the techniques alone, Lingbo Weibu is slightly superior to Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.'
'Not bad.' Zhao Zilong was quite satisfied with this task. Flender and Zhao Wuji were Shrek's dean and vice dean, and he had deprived them of one level of Innate Soul Power. Li Yusong, Li Qibin, and Shao Xin were teachers, and he had deprived the three of them of 1.5 levels of Soul Power.
Still, as far as Innate Soul Power went, having only Level 3.5 was far too little. It couldn't compare at all with the talents of the Shrek Seven Monsters. He would have to wait until the Shrek Battle Team was formed and see if he could deprive them of more Innate Soul Power.
Once that happened, even if he deprived each of the seven of 0.5 levels of Innate Soul Power, that would add up to 3.5 levels.
Hurry up and form the Shrek Battle Team! Zhao Zilong could only hope they would form soon. Only then could he complete the tasks ahead. After all, at the moment, he only had a temporary advantage in Soul Power. His talent still lagged far behind the others at Shrek.
"Hey, Zhao Zilong..." Just then, a sweet voice called out.
"Meng Yiran." Zhao Zilong looked at the figure running toward him.
Behind Meng Yiran were Dragon Duke Meng Shu, Snake Grandma Chao Tianxiang, and Zhao Wuji. Zhao Zilong walked forward and said, "Greetings, seniors."
Meng Shu looked at Zhao Zilong and stroked his beard with a smile. "Mm, Zi Long, we meet again. Yiran will be studying here with you from now on, so please look after her for me."
"Yes."
At that moment, Zhao Wuji gestured with his hand. "This way, seniors. I'll take you to meet the dean and get Meng Yiran enrolled."
"Mm, lead the way," Meng Shu said with a calm nod.
Meng Yiran smiled at Zhao Zilong. "See you in a bit, Zhao Zilong."
"Mm."
With Dragon Duke and Snake Grandma arriving, Flender was naturally very welcoming. After all, Dragon Duke Meng Shu was a powerful Soul Douluo, and the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the married couple was comparable to a Titled Douluo's. Flender didn't dare neglect them in the slightest. After receiving the money, he quickly completed Meng Yiran's enrollment.
"Zi Long, take Meng Yiran around the academy," Zhao Wuji said as he came over and handed Meng Yiran over to Zhao Zilong.
Meng Yiran walked over, her face a little flushed. She had kept her grandfather's words in mind the whole time, and just thinking about them made her feel embarrassed.
"There doesn't seem to be much to see around this academy," Zhao Zilong said, a little speechless. The academy was quite large, but it was just a village! There were quite a few villagers living at the other end, too. He looked at Meng Yiran and said, "All right, I know. Let's go, Yiran." With that, Zhao Zilong set off ahead of her. Meng Yiran saw this and stamped her foot in annoyance before hurrying after him.
Seeing her catch up, Zhao Zilong grinned. "What do you think of Shrek Academy?"
"Can I be honest?" Meng Yiran asked playfully. Without waiting for Zhao Zilong to answer, she said with some pride, "Honestly, I'm a little disappointed. This academy is just so... well, you know!"
"Run-down, right?" Zhao Zilong gave a soft chuckle. "Now that you're here, are you a little disappointed?"
"A little," Meng Yiran answered directly. "By the way, where are the others? Why are you the only one at the academy?"
Zhao Zilong grinned. "They all went out to play. At Shrek Academy, we have half an hour of physical training and one theory class every morning. After class, we can leave. Sometimes there's a practical class, but the rest of the time we study on our own, including Soul Power cultivation. Of course, there isn't a Simulated Training Environment here either."
"This..." Meng Yiran was at a loss for words. What kind of academy had she come to? She asked, "Then how do you cultivate so quickly? Is there some secret technique?"
Zhao Zilong grinned and explained, "What secret technique could there be? Everyone here is a genius. Three of them have Innate Full Soul Power, and the others all have Innate Soul Power of Rank Eight or Nine. For them, increasing Soul Power is as easy as playing. So the teachers barely keep an eye on us; they're mainly here to clean up our messes."
Hearing this, Meng Yiran felt a little stunned. How could this group all have such good talent? Even the worst had Innate Soul Power of Rank Eight. She immediately felt inferior. Zhao Zilong asked, "What rank is your Innate Soul Power?"
"Mine is only Rank Seven," Meng Yiran said, feeling a little inferior. She felt that after coming to this academy, she would basically be at the bottom.
"Rank Seven talent isn't bad, actually. Including you, there are nine of us at the academy now, and five teachers." Hearing Meng Yiran's Innate Soul Power, Zhao Zilong wasn't surprised. He then looked at her and said, "There doesn't seem to be much to see around this academy. It's mostly countryside scenery. Once you've been here a while, you'll gradually get used to it."
"Come on, let's go to the cafeteria and get something to eat. There's a new student today, so the dean should come and say a few words or something. The teachers should call the others back, too."
"Oh,"
