The moment Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes, she hazily saw a girl about her age sitting cross-legged beside her. She immediately became wary, but the next moment, she noticed the clean clothes on her body and the tight sensation of bandages wrapped around her.
Mm. Though these clothes were a little small for her.
Xiao Wu sensed the movement beside her and immediately stopped cultivating. She softly said to Zhu Zhuqing, "How are you feeling now?
"My name is Xiao Wu, Wu as in dancing. You suddenly fainted earlier, so we gave you the medicine my brother provided. Feel it out for yourself."
Zhu Zhuqing's face remained frosty. After nodding, she checked her condition and discovered in surprise that the poison in her body had actually been cured!
"Do you have a change of clothes with you? My clothes are really a little too small on you."
Xiao Wu's tone was full of sourness. Unwilling to admit defeat, she still asked one more question, "You still haven't told me your name. May I ask how old you are?"
"Zhu Zhuqing. Eleven."
Zhu Zhuqing's answer was exceptionally concise.
Xiao Wu could tell that the person before her seemed rather aloof.
But she was actually younger than Xiao Wu. How depressing.
However, Xiao Wu quickly pulled herself together. It was fine. She was still growing, so she could not compare herself to this freak.
"Brother, Tang San, Master, she's awake."
After Zhu Zhuqing had changed her clothes, Xiao Wu lifted the tent flap and walked outside.
After getting to know one another, they were surprised to discover that they were all headed to Shrek Academy.
Xiao Wu immediately became curious. "Zhu Qing, where are you from? Shrek Academy clearly isn't that well-known."
Xiao Tian: ...
Xiao Tian lightly tugged at Xiao Wu. They had only just met; why would Zhu Zhuqing tell them?
Zhu Zhuqing noticed Xiao Tian's small gesture. Her gaze toward the person who had saved her softened slightly as she said, "I'm from the Star Luo Empire. I came to Shrek Academy to find someone."
Yu Xiaogang immediately became interested. Flender had privately told him about the state of Shrek Academy last time, and it could only be described as utterly miserable.
The entire academy had only three students. What a disgrace to the Golden Iron Triangle!
Those registration fees were clearly nonrefundable, yet that Iron Rooster still would not improve the academy's environment or anything!
Find someone...
Yu Xiaogang pondered for a moment and quickly formed a guess. At Shrek Academy, Oscar had been adopted by Flender, while Ma Hongjun was Flender's direct disciple. Neither could have any connection to Zhu Zhuqing.
That only left Dai Mubai. One was surnamed Zhu, the other Dai. He immediately understood.
Although he had secluded himself at Nuoding Academy for several years, he still knew quite a bit about the Star Luo Empire.
This Zhu Zhuqing was very likely Dai Mubai's fiancée. Tomorrow, he definitely had to keep her at Shrek Academy. With Tang San and the other two, Shrek could participate in the Soul Master Elite Tournament in a few years.
"Zhu Zhuqing, may I ask who you wish to find at Shrek? To be honest, Shrek Academy was founded by Flender, the Flying Horn of the Golden Iron Triangle, while I am Yu Xiaogang, the Wisdom Horn. Have you heard of us?
"When Shrek Academy recruits students the day after tomorrow, don't be too shocked when you go. Shrek Academy only accepts monsters. Without some strength, you won't be able to enter."
Yu Xiaogang smiled at Zhu Zhuqing, his words full of temptation. Shrek Academy was not a place just anyone could enter!
Zhu Zhuqing merely nodded coldly without speaking.
Yet countless thoughts churned in her heart. It only accepted monsters?
Then if he had come from the Star Luo Empire to Shrek Academy, he probably had not run away. He was likely preparing to strike at the root of the problem.
Yu Xiaogang did not know that his words had planted a hidden danger in Zhu Zhuqing's heart.
Afterward, Zhu Zhuqing thanked Xiao Tian once more. They agreed to set off together for Suotuo City tomorrow, then rested in their tents.
During that time, Zhu Zhuqing learned their current Soul Power Levels from Xiao Wu and said in surprise, "How do you cultivate? You're only a year older than me, but your Soul Power Levels are so much higher?"
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly paused before saying, "Could it be that all three of you have Innate Full Soul Power? Is that why you're so strong?"
Zhu Zhuqing felt that she had guessed correctly.
Her Innate Soul Power was only level seven. Combined with her daily diligent cultivation, that was why she had reached level twenty-seven at this age, breaking her family's record. Yet she had not expected there to be people who cultivated even faster than she did.
There was only one possibility: their Innate Soul Power was higher than hers, and they were no less diligent than she was.
Xiao Wu smiled mysteriously. "Zhu Qing, you only guessed half right. Tang San and I do have Innate Full Soul Power, but my brother doesn't. My brother's Innate Soul Power was only level five."
Xiao Wu was naturally friendly and directly called her Zhu Qing. In a few days, they would be classmates anyway.
"What! Xiao Wu, are you sure that's true? Innate Level Five? In this continent's history, no one has reached the Soul Elder realm at this age!"
Zhu Zhuqing spoke in utter shock, even raising her voice considerably. She could no longer maintain her cool expression. Her small mouth hung slightly open, and her eyes widened.
She had already learned that Xiao Tian was the strongest among the three, but she had not expected his talent to be the weakest?
She found it very difficult to understand.
If she could learn something from Xiao Tian, could she become even stronger?
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing was filled with endless curiosity about Xiao Tian. Yet her gaze became incomparably resolute. She had to become stronger!
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's shocked expression, Xiao Wu was very pleased.
After all, Xiao Tian was her brother, and he had practically opened up an entirely new path for assisting cultivation, hadn't he?
Although this method was not suitable for most people, it was still something to be proud of!
After that, Zhu Zhuqing gradually opened up a little more. During her chats with Xiao Wu, she only asked about matters related to Xiao Tian, immediately putting Xiao Wu on guard.
Could Zhu Qing be interested in my brother?
And from the very beginning, Xiao Tian had admired Zhu Qing's figure and appearance.
Xiao Wu remembered something Xiao Tian had once said: when you became interested in a man, congratulations, you had already begun to fall for him.
For some reason, Xiao Wu suddenly felt sour inside. That was her brother. How could he be so easily snatched away by someone else?
