Winning Over All Shrek Academy Students

Oscar soon finished converting the Soul Power within his body and opened his eyes. Zhao Xiaotian also removed the talisman attached to the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent.

The moment the talisman was removed, the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's body dissipated. A snake pattern had also appeared on the talisman in Zhao Xiaotian's hand.

Zhao Xiaotian smiled. "It worked! The Swift Talisman is complete."

Zhao Xiaotian looked at Oscar and asked, "How is your third soul skill?"

Oscar replied excitedly, "It's incredible! It can be summed up in one word: awesome!"

Dai Mubai stepped forward and draped an arm around Oscar's shoulders. "Come on, tell your brothers what your third soul skill is."

Oscar's face reddened. "I'll say it, but you can't laugh at me!"

"Don't worry! We're brothers. Why would I make fun of you?"

Oscar released his third soul skill. "Third soul skill! Swift Flying Mushroom Sausage!"

Dai Mubai immediately burst out laughing. Ma Hongjun came over clutching his stomach, patted Oscar on the shoulder, and said, "Hahaha! Oscar, your soul skills are as lewd as ever! Hahaha!"

Oscar slapped Ma Hongjun's hand away. "You're the lewd one! Your whole family is lewd! My soul skill isn't as simple as it looks!"

Zhao Xiaotian said, "Explain it."

"OK! After eating it, my third soul skill lets someone fly at the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's speed for one minute. It can be stored for three minutes!"

Zhao Wuji praised him, "Not bad! This soul skill will be a huge help to you in the future. As your Soul Power increases, it should also extend the flight time."

Seeing this, Zhao Xiaotian held out his hand. "Xiao Ao, I want to ask you something."

Oscar said, "Go ahead, Xiaotian! As long as I can do it, I'll definitely agree!"

Zhao Xiaotian smiled. "You can definitely do it."

Zhao Xiaotian said, "Xiao Ao, I come from the secluded White Shadow Sect. I invite you to join us. I can guarantee that once you join, we'll allocate you a piece of land where you can develop your own family. As for the family name, you can decide it yourself!"

Zhao Wuji's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Zhao Xiaotian. Casually giving someone land to develop their own family—just how deep were their reserves?

Oscar fell into thought after hearing this. "Um, Xiaotian, I need to ask Dean Flender first. He brought me back and raised me, so I need his approval. I'm sorry."

Zhao Xiaotian said indifferently, "It's fine! I think Dean Flender will agree."

Time passed quickly, and after a day of travel, they returned to Shrek Academy. Oscar immediately went to find Flender and told him what Zhao Xiaotian had said.

Flender summoned Zhao Xiaotian to ask about it. Once he learned that Zhao Xiaotian truly could fulfill his promise, he sighed. "Fine! I agree!"

Zhao Xiaotian nodded. "Dean, would you like to join as well? You can join Oscar's family and help him build it. I can also help build a new Shrek Academy."

A gleam flashed through Flender's eyes, and he looked somewhat delighted. Then Zhao Xiaotian made another promise. "I can make your Shrek Academy the second-ranked academy on the continent. As for whether you can claim first place, that will depend on your own efforts."

Flender instantly stood up and slapped the table. "Good! I agree!"

Zhao Xiaotian smiled faintly and called out the window, "Fourth Grandpa, come in for a moment!"

The window of Flender's office suddenly opened, and a white figure instantly appeared before Zhao Xiaotian. Upon seeing the newcomer, Flender cupped his hands and said, "Flender greets Your Excellency Bai Jin!"

Liu Jin waved a hand. "I heard everything just now. Xiaotian, don't worry. I'll report this matter to the family head."

Zhao Xiaotian nodded and continued, "Since that's the case, Fourth Grandpa, have Sister Ruyan and Sister Ruxue come to this academy to participate in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament."

Liu Jin hesitated before asking, "Why?"

"Because I'm taking Xiao Wu to Heaven Dou City, and I'll be setting out on a new journey of training as well."

Zhao Xiaotian looked out the window as he spoke. Liu Jin nodded. "Alright, I'll arrange it right away!"

It quickly became known that Zhao Xiaotian wanted to leave and take Xiao Wu with him. After Zhu Zhuqing learned that Zhao Xiaotian came from the White Shadow Sect, she also resolved to join.

Thus, on a dark and windy night, Zhu Zhuqing went alone to find Zhao Xiaotian. Zhao Xiaotian looked at her in confusion.

Zhu Zhuqing spoke coldly. "I want to join your sect too."

Zhao Xiaotian was somewhat surprised. "Why?"

"Because I want to control my own fate! Only your family can help me!"

Zhao Xiaotian felt a headache coming on. He knew Zhu Zhuqing's identity: someone from a family that supplied women to the Star Luo Empire's imperial family wanted to join them.

Although it would be easy enough to handle, Zhao Xiaotian did not want to trigger another war. At that moment, Liu Junxi, who had replaced Liu Jin in secretly protecting Zhao Xiaotian, transmitted his voice to him. "Xiaotian, you can agree. I know your concerns, and I know that you already know about what happened back then. But times have changed. We old fellows can still protect the younger generation of the White Shadow Sect."

Zhao Xiaotian nodded and looked at Zhu Zhuqing. "Alright! I agree! You can establish your own Zhu Family near the White Shadow Sect. Remember, our White Shadow Sect has its own army. You don't need to fear the Star Luo imperial family causing trouble."

Zhu Zhuqing dropped to one knee and cupped her hands. "Thank you! I definitely won't let you down."

After Zhu Zhuqing left, she began packing her things. Zhao Xiaotian had only been sitting in his room for a while when Ma Hongjun came looking for him. Seeing that Oscar had been recruited and given such immense benefits, Ma Hongjun was tempted as well. He came to ask if he could establish his own Phoenix Family too.

Zhao Xiaotian: What's with this? What are all of you trying to do?

Zhao Xiaotian rubbed his forehead, unwilling to take in the fat man. However, Liu Junxi spoke up again and said Ma Hongjun could be accepted. Zhao Xiaotian was utterly numb. Even if their talents were good, he could not just accept every last one of them!

Still, Zhao Xiaotian approved Ma Hongjun's application to join the sect. Ma Hongjun was overjoyed and ran outside.

Before he could run off, Zhao Xiaotian took out a talisman and handed it to him. Ma Hongjun looked at it in confusion, so Zhao Xiaotian said, "This can help you suppress the evil fire in your body. Also, our sect does not allow you to fool around. Understand?"

Ma Hongjun said tearfully, "I understand! Brother Tian, you're my real brother!"

Zhao Xiaotian slapped him. Ma Hongjun covered his face and happily left Zhao Xiaotian's room. Zhao Xiaotian had wanted to continue resting, but Dai Mubai came looking to join as well. Liu Junxi rejected him.

Thus, Dai Mubai was turned away. The main reason for rejecting him was that he had once declared that women were not people, but resources.

Liu Junxi feared that if Dai Mubai joined, he might make some more earth-shattering remarks. That was why he rejected him. The reason he had agreed to accept Ma Hongjun was that Ma Hongjun's bastardly behavior had been entirely influenced by his martial soul.

PS: If you think the author has whitewashed Ma Hongjun, I can only say that this is not the original novel, but fanfiction.
