Although the Evil Fire Phoenix was fairly decent in terms of martial soul quality, the problem was that its mutation was truly absurd.

If Tang San had not given Ma Hong Jun the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, causing his martial soul to evolve, then let alone gaining the favor of the God of Fire, even the God of Phoenix would have looked down on him.

As for Ma Xiaotao, it was only thanks to Yan Shaozhe and the others' help that she avoided that fallen ending.

"You can tell me these things, but whatever you do, don't tell anyone else, understand?"

Afraid that the young man before her might blurt it out in a moment of impulse, Jiang Nannan could not help but warn him earnestly.

"Don't worry. I know."

After replying, Li Changsheng began looking around under Jiang Nannan's guidance and introduction.

Night soon fell. After finishing dinner, the two of them returned to their rooms to rest.

The moon shone bright while the stars were sparse, and crows flew south. As Li Changsheng walked toward the dormitories, he spotted an old man lying on a wicker chair with his eyes closed and immediately stopped.

If he was not mistaken, this person should be Shrek Academy's strongest expert, the master of Sea God Pavilion, the Dragon God Douluo Mu En, who possessed Level 99 Soul Power.

"Old sir, it's so late. Aren't you going back to rest?"

Li Changsheng walked over to Mu En and asked gently.

"Little Changsheng, this man is not simple. He's really not simple. Be careful!"

At that moment, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice rang out in his mind.

Li Changsheng ignored Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's warning and merely looked at the old man before him with a smile.

"It's still early. I'll stay a little longer before heading back."

Mu En opened his eyes, clearly somewhat surprised.

He had been lying there for so long. Aside from a young man asking for directions during the day, only the person before him had taken the initiative to speak to him.

"It's not early. You should keep the habit of going to bed early and getting up early," Li Changsheng said with a smile.

Hearing this, Mu En merely smiled faintly and closed his eyes again.

Li Changsheng said nothing further and turned to head toward his dormitory.

"This child is interesting!"

Upon returning to his dormitory, Li Changsheng was slightly stunned to discover that the person living inside was none other than Wang Dong, dressed as a girl.

Wasn't I being set up hard by Divine King Tang? Logically speaking, shouldn't Wang Dong's roommate have been that guy Huo Yuhao? Why did he end up with me?

He had never met Wang Dong before, nor had anyone told him his identity. But among all the new students, other than Wang Dong, who else could possess such stunning looks?

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a handsome guy?"

Before Li Changsheng could ask anything, Wang Dong lost patience first.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke with obvious displeasure.

"Heh, am I not even allowed to look?"

After coming to his senses, Li Changsheng chuckled. "The dorm is only this big. What, am I supposed to gouge out one of my eyes? You're really something!"

"Forget it!"

Wang Dong did not want to waste more time arguing with him. He directly laid out several rules, domineeringly demanding that Li Changsheng obey them.

"Listen, buddy, who the hell do you think you are? Why should I listen to you? If you were a beautiful girl, I could understand, but you're a damn man!"

Li Changsheng was never one to suffer in silence and immediately snapped, "I can understand not bringing people back to the dorm, not disturbing you, and not touching your bed. But why can't I do anything else? If you care that much, why not live alone? What do you need a roommate for?"

"You think I want one? Isn't this the academy's requirement?" Wang Dong was utterly dumbfounded. He had never imagined that this person would not only refuse him, but would be this tough about it.

Logically, weren't soul masters from commoner backgrounds supposed to be timid and avoid trouble? Why was this one so different?

"You know it's the academy's requirement too!"

Li Changsheng snorted. "Those who know might think we're roommates. Those who don't would think I'm your servant!"

"You want a beating?"

Wang Dong rose from the bed. As he clenched his fists, the fury in his eyes was impossible to conceal.

As the Young Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, when had anyone ever cursed at him like this?

"You? I could beat you with one hand!"

Li Changsheng looked utterly disdainful.

Whether he was Wang Dong, Wang Dong'er, or Tang Wutong, none of it mattered to him. After all, that so-called Chastity Lock was meant to guard against Huo Yuhao, the Son of Destiny, not him.

Besides, was Wang Dong the only one with someone backing him? It was not as though he did not have anyone behind him.

If you've got the guts, have your father come down here himself. I'd like to see whether that dead father of yours would dare utter a word in front of the Grand Pure Daoist Venerable.

Wang Dong was so angry he nearly laughed. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Good, good, good. You're the most arrogant commoner I've ever seen in my life!"

"I hope your strength is as tough as your mouth!"

"How about we make a bet?" Li Changsheng said.

"What kind of bet?" Wang Dong asked, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Whoever loses calls the other one Dad. How about it?" Li Changsheng asked with a grin.

"W-What?"

Wang Dong froze. Clearly, he had not expected this person's wager to be such a thing.

"Just tell me if you're in or not. If you're scared, forget it!" Li Changsheng said with a contemptuous look.

"Fine. Let's do it!"

Wang Dong let out a breath. Determined to save face no matter what, he ultimately accepted the bet.

He did not believe that a commoner soul master could be stronger than him!

After all, he had come out of the Clear Sky Sect. He absolutely could not lose face.

The two left the room and arrived at an open area beneath the moonlight.

Not far away, Mu En grew slightly interested upon seeing this.

Though he did not know the young man, he could see through Wang Dong's true identity. After all, he was one of Shrek Academy's leaders.

"Come on. Don't say I bullied you. You make the first move!"

Li Changsheng beckoned to Wang Dong.

"You bully me? Heh!"

Wang Dong sneered. Then his gaze sharpened, and his figure flashed as he charged straight at Li Changsheng.

He was incredibly fast, reaching Li Changsheng in only a few breaths.

His right hand suddenly swung out, carrying immense force as he sought to teach this bastard a lesson.

Facing the attack, Li Changsheng merely glanced at it before raising a single middle finger and blocking it.

How could Wang Dong, a Soul Grandmaster, possibly compare to him, a Soul Elder?

Not to mention that in terms of martial soul quality, the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda could utterly crush Wang Dong's Light Goddess Butterfly.
