Red Flame Sweet Potato, Grandpa Xiao's Gift, Heading to Shrek Academy

A year passed in the blink of an eye.

"Little hands wave, the hoe shines bright, Blue Silver Grass stands row on row, Soul Power waters sprouts to strength, Come autumn, granaries overflow!"

Within the Sea of Consciousness, Xiao Ze used Spiritual Power to form a watering can, continuously sprinkling the mixture of Spiritual Power and Soul Power within over the fields.

"Sigh... It's been a whole year. Why hasn't a new Agricultural Sprite appeared yet?" Xiao Ze had discovered that the emergence of Agricultural Sprites depended entirely on luck.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Ze noticed a Sweet Potato suddenly burst out of the ground and tremble violently. Its skin cracked with a sharp crack, and scorching red light shot from the fissures like a volcanic eruption!

Then, its skin shattered inch by inch.

Boom—!

Caramel-colored steam billowed as a three-meter-tall, meat-slice-eyed Sweet Potato rose from the earth.

Its flesh wriggled like magma, golden syrup flowing over its surface. The high heat filled the air with a cloying sweetness.

Hardened caramel formed six-fingered giant claws, while six burning potato vines emerged from its back and danced wildly through the air.

"It appeared!" Xiao Ze was delighted. The Sweet Potato's Agricultural Sprite had emerged.

And it had appeared as an Excellent-tier one right from the start.

It seemed that he had fed them quite a lot of good things before.

Unfortunately, those resources were not very good. Otherwise, after a whole year, Xi Mang would not have been the only one to reach the Fine tier.

Yu Jin and the Earth Potato King were still only Excellent-tier, with some distance left before reaching the Fine tier.

"A Sweet Potato like molten rock... from now on, you'll be called Red Flame."

Red Flame was delighted to receive a name. It moved close to Xiao Ze and wanted to pat his head, but its hand passed straight through Xiao Ze's body.

Red Flame froze. Panicking, it was on the verge of tears, thinking it had killed its master.

"Don't panic. I'm only a spiritual body here—I don't have a physical form." Xiao Ze did not know whether to laugh or cry. This one was quite the crybaby.

It was clearly the largest of the five Agricultural Sprites, yet it loved to cry.

Red Flame nodded, feeling much better.

Now that he had gained another Agricultural Sprite, he just did not know whether Chili or Tea Leaves would be the next to appear.

Returning to reality.

Xiao Ze headed to the Principal's Office, intending to bid Grandpa Xiao farewell. He was going to attend an intermediate academy.

Over the past year, Tang San and Xiao Wu had become much quieter and had not come to disgust him again.

Xiao Ze had been living quite comfortably. As for Yu Xiaogang, he had left the academy not long ago, and no one knew where he had gone.

But it did not matter. Yu Xiaogang posed no threat to him whatsoever.

He was just trash, unless he could call Bibi Dong over to take revenge.

And with Tang Hao dead, Tang San was not much of a threat for the time being.

Xiao Ze still had not figured out whether this person possessed the divine power of the Asura God.

Upon arriving at the Principal's Office.

Grandpa Xiao immediately pulled Xiao Ze over and had him sit down.

"Xiao Ze, you'll be leaving the academy tomorrow. Have you decided where you're going?"

"Grandpa Xiao, I plan to visit Shrek Academy first."

Grandpa Xiao frowned. "Xiao Ze, I looked into this Shrek Academy. Other than its Teachers being somewhat capable, it has no advantages at all.

There is no mimicry cultivation and no resources. It is not a good place for you.

Don't listen to Yu Xiaogang's nonsense.

Moreover, many students from Shrek Academy have died while trying to obtain Soul Rings."

Xiao Ze was somewhat surprised. He had not expected Grandpa Xiao to investigate Shrek Academy for his sake.

But Xiao Ze only planned to take a look. There was no way he would remain at Shrek Academy forever.

He still intended to go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy to find Dugu Yan.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was extremely important to his cultivation.

His cultivation speed was already excellent when he was around Blue Silver Grass. Wouldn't it explode at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?

As for the Immortal Herbs, they could also be used to cultivate Agricultural Sprites.

And as for whether he recognized the Immortal Herbs, Xiao Ze had a better method.

"Grandpa Xiao, I understand. I'm only going there to take a look. I know what I'm doing."

"As long as you know what you're doing, as long as you know what you're doing." Grandpa Xiao's spirits had been getting better and better lately.

Grandpa Xiao carefully looked Xiao Ze over and sighed. "Six years have passed. You've grown more and more mature, and your strength has grown greater as well. Perhaps you can become a Title Douluo in the future."

"Grandpa Xiao, I will definitely become a Title Douluo. Before long, I'll come back to see you too."

Xiao Ze was someone who cherished old ties. Not long ago, he had just returned from Qingxi Village.

After all, once he left this time, he would not be coming back for a long while.

He had left them quite a bit of rice, wheat, and other crops.

"Grandpa Xiao, these are for you." Xiao Ze took out bag after bag of crops.

Grandpa Xiao smiled gently. "Child, I'll accept these."

Grandpa Xiao knew that Xiao Ze did not lack such things. It was the thought that counted.

"Mm."

Afterward, Xiao Ze chatted with Grandpa Xiao for a long time before returning to his room.

Watching Xiao Ze's departing back, Grandpa Xiao remained silent for a long while before speaking. "What a good child."

"Looks like it's time to give him that."

The next day.

Xiao Ze and Tang San arrived at the academy gates, where Grandpa Xiao came over.

"Child, come here."

Xiao Ze immediately went up to Grandpa Xiao.

Grandpa Xiao handed Xiao Ze a ring. "When I was young, I found this Soul Tool. There's a strange hoe inside it. I don't know what it's for, but I feel that it's extraordinary. Xiao Ze, take it."

Xiao Ze was slightly surprised. This golden Soul Tool looked extraordinary at a glance.

"Alright, Grandpa Xiao. I'll accept it."

"Mm, go on. Keep moving forward, and you'll reach the end." Grandpa Xiao patted Xiao Ze on the shoulder.

Xiao Ze turned and left with Tang San and the others, looking back every three steps.

Until Grandpa Xiao's figure vanished from sight.

A few days later.

A handsome, dark-skinned young man entered Suotuo City. Behind him were an ordinary-looking man and a girl with a scorpion braid.

"Xiao Ze, what are we doing now?"

"Of course, we're finding a hotel to rest in and preparing to head to Shrek Academy tomorrow."

Xiao Ze was still planning to check out the gift Grandpa Xiao had given him.

He had no interest in wandering around with the two of them.

"Alright."

Soon, the three of them arrived in front of a huge rose.

The corner of Xiao Ze's mouth twitched. An erotic hotel of the Douluo Continent.

"This hotel is so beautiful, Third Brother. Let's stay here."

"Alright."

"You two go in first. I'm going to buy a few things."

"Mm."

Tang San paid Xiao Ze no mind at all and directly led Xiao Wu inside.

"Hello, get me two rooms."

The attendant looked at him, then at Xiao Wu behind him, his expression turning strange. "We only have one room left."

"This... will do."

"Alright."

"How presumptuous. You must be new here, attendant. Don't you know that one room has to be reserved for this young master?"

At that moment, a very handsome man with golden hair and double pupils entered from outside, with a woman in each arm.

They were twins.

It was none other than Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai walked to the counter and slapped a large hand on it. "Call your manager over."

The attendant could tell at once that this man was no ordinary person and hurried away.

"What is wrong with you?"
