Yu Xiaogang's Persuasion, an Encounter with Zhu Zhuqing!

"Brother Tian, are you really going to Shrek Academy with Tang San? Who exactly is at Shrek Academy? Why do you insist on going there?"

"With our current strength, so many intermediate and even advanced Soul Master Academies have sent us invitations. Even the dean said we could consider going to an advanced academy in the Balak Kingdom. Perhaps we might even have a chance to participate in that Soul Master Tournament later on?"

"I asked all around the academy about Shrek Academy, but no one had ever heard of it. It might even be some shady academy without certification. What benefit could it possibly bring to our cultivation?"

Xiao Wu was thoroughly depressed.

Wouldn't that mean the two of them would have to study alongside Tang San for several more years?

Ever since she had revealed her Soul Beast identity to Xiao Wu and Xiao Tian, the three of them had grown even closer. Xiao Wu directly acknowledged Xiao Tian as her older brother, with no intention of acting like the big sister anymore.

Xiao Tian was quite satisfied with this. Xiao Wu's training had been fairly successful; at the very least, she now knew to cultivate diligently, keep a low profile, and not waste effort on meaningless things.

Xiao Tian leaned close to Xiao Wu and whispered, "Don't worry. Don't you trust your brother? If Master really tricked us, we can just leave then. Like you said, with our current strength, we won't have trouble finding a good advanced academy."

Xiao Tian was also rather helpless. Once they got to Shrek Academy and Tang Hao left for good, he would finally be able to act freely.

Besides, he had his own reasons for going to Shrek Academy. Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were both there.

Given the habits of this Scumbag System, as long as he did something to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, it should trigger a Critical Strike Reward.

Having come to the Douluo world, if he did not take a few beautiful wives, he would be letting down the fact that he had awakened his memories of his past life.

If he had not been curious about Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing and wanted to see them in person, who would go to that godforsaken Shrek Academy?

Xiao Tian considered himself a very ordinary man. Other than swords, he liked all kinds of beautiful women.

Of course, in his previous life, he could only admire them through a screen. But now he could get close to them. How could he give up such an opportunity?

Of course, groveling was out of the question. He would never grovel in this life.

He especially remembered what an old master from his previous life had said: money was for women to see, not for women to spend.

In this Douluo world, that meant using his own strength and looks to attract them. If he could not attract them, then he should cut his losses in time.

The reason Xiao Tian had specifically made a trip to Holy Spirit Village last time was because of this as well. Ah Yin was also an exceptionally beautiful woman in Douluo, and she even had the allure of a married woman. Who would not be excited?

Once Ah Yin re-formed her body after one hundred thousand years, her body would be brand new as well. Who would not want that?

Fortunately, his ring Soul Tool contained a treasure given by the system that concealed auras, allowing Ah Yin and the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone to completely suppress their auras. Otherwise, he would not have acted so rashly.

After all, compared to beauties, his own life was just as important.

At that moment, Xiao Tian saw Tang San emerge from Yu Xiaogang's office and asked, "How did it go?"

Tang San was in a rather good mood and smiled. "Yes, I finally persuaded Teacher. Teacher is preparing to go to Shrek Academy with us."

"Tang San, are you sure Shrek Academy is any good? If I find out Master fooled me, just see how I beat you up! Even though you've obtained an External Soul Bone, don't forget that I'm still stronger than you."

Yu Xiaogang casually packed a few things from his office and came out, only to hear Xiao Wu's voice outside.

"Don't worry. Shrek Academy may not be famous across the continent, but it only accepts monsters. I can tell you in advance that Shrek was founded by Flender, whom you met once before. An academy founded by a Level 78 Soul Sage should have some credibility, right?"

Yu Xiaogang had not originally planned to go to Shrek Academy with Tang San and the others. After all, he had avoided Flender and Liu Erlong for so many years. Because of certain things that had happened back then, he did not want to see either of them. He cared too much about saving face.

However, under Xiao Tian's "abuse," Tang San's strength had risen rapidly, reaching Level 30 more than half a year ago.

According to his theory, the best choice for Tang San's Third Soul Ring was a Man Faced Demon Spider Soul Ring. But there were basically no Man Faced Demon Spiders in the nearby Soul Hunting Forest. If they wanted one, they could only try their luck in the Star Dou Great Forest.

As he looked at the expectant expression in his disciple's eyes, he recalled Tang San's figure training desperately so that one day he could defeat Xiao Tian.

He had no choice. He could only write a letter asking his old friend to come over. Yes, Flender.

This was the first time he had contacted Flender since disappearing for so many years.

Although if Tang San and the other two went to Shrek Academy half a year later, Flender would take greater care of Tang San after learning that Tang San was his disciple, Tang San could not wait that long.

Thus, half a year ago, after Flender received Yu Xiaogang's message, he abandoned the academy and rushed over at once.

Xiao Tian, Xiao Wu, and the others had met Flender that day as well.

It was also that day, after Flender met Xiao Tian and the other three, that he strongly urged Yu Xiaogang to bring them to his Shrek Academy. They were living, breathing monstrous geniuses!

At such young ages, they had all already surpassed Level 30. They were far better than Oscar, Dai Mubai, and the others at his academy. Once he returned, he had to push those brats to cultivate properly!

Xiao Wu: You're the brat! Your whole family is brats, cat-eyed blind man!

What surprised Xiao Tian was that Tang San truly deserved to be the Child of Destiny of this world—albeit a fake one. Even when he went to the Star Dou Great Forest half a year early to hunt a Man Faced Demon Spider, he still managed to obtain the Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone?

However, after learning that Tang San had obtained the Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone, Xiao Tian was not depressed at all. On the contrary, he was rather excited.

Tang San was already above Level 30 now. With the Eight Spider Lances boosting him, if Xiao Tian defeated him at this point, he should receive a decent reward, right?

And if he ripped off Tang San's Eight Spider Lances too, would that trigger another Critical Strike Reward?

Just thinking about it excited him.

Since Tang San had forcibly fused an External Soul Bone beyond his level, he could not easily make the Eight Spider Lances fully integrate with him unless he was subjected to an extremely powerful yet gentle Soul Power Pressure, such as that of Douluo Zhi Lin in the original story.

But Xiao Tian was in no hurry to spar with Tang San. He needed to wait until Tang San could use the Eight Spider Lances. Besides, once they reached Shrek Academy, there would be plenty of chances to spar.

Several days later, after the four of them hurried along day and night, they estimated that they would reach Suotuo City the next day.

Just then, Xiao Tian felt something soft touch his back from behind.

It was actually Zhu Zhuqing!

Zhu Zhuqing's face was extremely pale at that moment, and the black cloak draped over her body felt damp. Xiao Tian smelled a rusty scent. (The following was fanfiction.)

It was blood!

"Brother, this person seems to be injured, and it looks rather serious?"

Xiao Wu said worriedly.

She had seen streaks of black blood slowly running down Xiao Tian's arm.

It was clearly blood that had gotten onto him from the unconscious girl before them.

"Xiao Wu, support her for a moment. I'll check her back. The blood flowed from her back, and she is probably poisoned."

Xiao Tian spoke with a grave expression, directly ignoring the system notification in his mind. Saving her came first.

He could not understand why Zhu Zhuqing had appeared here injured. It was not like this in the original story.

Could it be that she had escaped her sister's pursuit but sustained severe injuries in the process?

That should not be right. Then how had she healed herself in the original story?

After taking off her cloak, Xiao Tian could clearly see a long wound on her back.

"This young lady was probably poisoned by a Shadow Poison Claw Wolf."

Yu Xiaogang looked at the shallow wound and gave his judgment.

"A Shadow Poison Claw Wolf?" Xiao Wu asked in confusion.

"If my judgment is correct, then that is what it was. Fortunately, she was only lightly grazed, so the poisoning is not severe. She should wake up after some time. The reason she fainted was probably because she had exhausted her strength. Fortunately, the poison on this kind of Soul Beast is not a strong toxin, but a slow-acting one. This young lady is lucky to be alive!"

Yu Xiaogang analyzed confidently.

"Tang San, do you have any antidote pills on you?"

Yu Xiaogang asked Tang San.

He knew that his disciple had always been interested in poisons. Perhaps he might have an antidote on him.

Facing the gazes of the three of them, Tang San's expression stiffened, and he said awkwardly, "Teacher, no. I only have poisons on me at the moment. I haven't made any Detox Pills yet."

Although he wanted to answer Xiao Wu's expectations, Nuoding City was ultimately too small and could not meet his needs.

The few poisons he had on him were not particularly potent either, and he felt helpless about that.

"Xiao Wu, help me carry her into the tent and let her lie down first. You're a girl, so change her into a clean set of clothes and clean her wound. I happen to have some Trauma Medicine. We'll treat a dead horse like it's alive. Master said the poison will not kill her for now anyway, and we'll enter the city tomorrow."

"Xiao Tian, isn't that too careless? We shouldn't use medicine recklessly."

Tang San frowned as he spoke.

"Don't worry. Master said the poison won't be a problem. Later, I'll send some Soul Power into her, and she can use her own Soul Power to resist it."

Xiao Tian said unconcernedly.

In truth, what he had given Xiao Wu was not ordinary Trauma Medicine bought nearby, but healing medicine given by the system, which could detoxify and heal wounds.

The reason he said that was simply because he could not explain its origin.

Xiao Wu trusted Xiao Tian unconditionally. She knew that perhaps Xiao Tian had some other plan.

After the two of them worked together to carry Zhu Zhuqing into the tent, Xiao Tian handed the healing medicine to Xiao Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, have her swallow one of these pills later. Grind the other one with water, apply it to her wound, and bandage it. She should recover in a few days.

It would be a pity if such a beautiful woman was left with a scar because of this."

When Xiao Wu heard the first half of Xiao Tian's words, her eyes lit up. She knew it—her sworn brother was no ordinary person. After living together these past years, she knew better than anyone that Xiao Tian had become more and more mysterious.

Still, she was sensible and did not ask further questions. Xiao Tian would tell her what he was willing to tell her.

But when she heard the latter half, Xiao Wu did not know why, but her heart felt a little sour.

Xiao Wu fell silent.

Xiao Wu pouted.

Xiao Wu huffed coyly.

"Brother, don't tell me you took pity on her because she's beautiful? You told me before that cultivation comes first and that we shouldn't waste extra energy on other matters."

Xiao Wu said with a wary expression.

"Hahaha, Xiao Wu, don't tell me you're... jealous?"

Xiao Tian could not help teasing her.

"Jealous? Why would I be jealous for no reason? As your little sister, I have an obligation to remind you that before becoming strong, cultivating diligently is our first priority!"

Xiao Wu felt as if her little thoughts had been exposed. A blush spread across her face, but she still repeated what Xiao Tian had told her before, trying to use it against him.

However, she knew now was not the time to dwell on it. Although the person before her was pale, she could tell that she was indeed beautiful. Even Xiao Wu herself felt tempted. It truly would be a pity if she were scarred.

After pushing Xiao Tian out and warning the three of them not to come within three meters of the tent without her permission, she took out a basin, kettle, and towel from her Soul Tool and prepared to clean Zhu Zhuqing.

After carefully removing Zhu Zhuqing's upper clothes, Xiao Wu could not help widening her eyes. She instinctively covered her mouth, looked at Zhu Zhuqing's milky-white breasts, then looked down at her own, and fell silent.

She was jealous!

Over the past six years, she had eaten milk and papaya every day, and her cup size had finally evolved from A to B. But compared to Zhu Zhuqing's pair, it was truly infuriating how people could differ so much!

Over the past six years, she had not even eaten her favorite carrots every day!

Xiao Wu felt like crying without tears. How had Zhu Zhuqing done it?

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's delicate face, Xiao Wu knew that Zhu Zhuqing should be around the same age as herself.

Out of curiosity, after cleaning the blood from Zhu Zhuqing's body and applying the medicine, she felt around Zhu Zhuqing's body and estimated her bone age.

Xiao Wu fell silent.

Xiao Wu was shocked.

Xiao Wu wanted to cry.

Though it might not be entirely accurate, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to be... younger than her!

Outside the tent.

Only now did Xiao Tian have the leisure to pay attention to the system notification.

[Warning! Warning! God of Speed Zhu Zhuqing is rapidly approaching the host. To avoid War God Dai Mubai becoming jealous, please maintain your distance from Zhu Zhuqing. It is best not to have physical contact! Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself!]

Bear the consequences myself?

When I see Dai Mubai tomorrow or the day after, I'll beat him until he shits himself!

With Dai Mubai's current strength, he was probably not even a match for Tang San, let alone Xiao Tian!

Hmph!

More than half an hour later, Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes in confusion.
