Has Xiao Xiao the Loli Grown Up?

The two did not plan to stay in Peach Spring Village for more than a few days, since Zhou Huan was still on leave.

Therefore, on the afternoon of the same day after the ceremony, the two began their return to Shrek.

Although Zhang Lexuan felt that with Zhou Huan's current strength and knowledge of Martial Soul, staying at Shrek Outer Court was not very meaningful, and whether he asked for leave or not was not important, since Zhou Huan spent most of his time studying alone in the library.

However, she also knew that, given Zhou Huan's personality, he would definitely stay in the Outer Court until he graduated from sixth grade before taking the Inner Court assessment.

So, now that the business is done, it's time to go back to Shrek.

However, they didn't rush on the road. On the way back, with Zhou Huan's meticulous care, Zhang Lexuan felt as if this trip really was a vacation.

Although I didn't obtain any treasures from the trip to the Underground Palace, I did enjoy excellent service along the way.

Suddenly, I felt that if I went out in the future, it would be pretty good to have Zhou Huan with me.

The moment this thought crossed Zhang Lexuan's mind, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have unknowingly fallen into Zhou Huan's "trap," and that she didn't seem to want to refuse.

So, after thinking it over and over again along the way, Zhang Lexuan couldn't come up with any conclusion, so she just let things take their course.

And so, a few days later, the two returned to Shrek.

Zhang Lexuan went straight back to Sea God Island, while Zhou Huan went to find Wang Yan to cancel her leave.

As soon as Zhou Huan arrived at Wang Yan's office, she saw her Second Senior Sister Han Ruoruo, there as well, so she quickly greeted her, "Hello, Second Senior Sister."

Then, Zhou Huan looked at Wang Yan, "Teacher Wang, why did you ask your Second Senior Sister to help you again? You haven't treated her to dinner last time, have you?"

Wang Yan wasn't angry when he heard this. Instead, he teased, "You're so good at talking, so good at flattering your senior sister. Oh, by the way, you have more than one senior sister, right? So you took another ten days off this time?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan looked embarrassed. "Teacher Wang, you've changed. Well, I'm just back to report back from leave. You guys continue with your work, I'll be going now."

As Han Ruoruo left Wang Yan Wang Yan Office, she overheard him asking, "Junior Zhou, did you take leave again right after the start of the semester?"

Wang Yan sighed, "Yeah, that kid's strength is getting stronger and stronger. It's only been a few years, and he's already a level 46 Soul Ancestor. I think he's ready to enter the Inner Court, but he said it's more convenient to eat in the Outer Court's cafeteria. What kind of reason is that? Anyway, let's not talk about him. Let's discuss your Martial Soul..."

Zhou Huan, still in the corridor, shook his head upon hearing this. Wang Yan, the straight man, remained as honest as ever, and his mind was always on the research of Martial Soul Theory.

After leaving the teaching building, Zhou Huan returned to her dormitory.

However, Wen Xiaoshuai wasn't there at the time; he probably didn't have class today, and no one knew where Old Wen had gone.

Zhou Huan didn't think any further and lay down on the bed.

Although the trip was quite enjoyable, and I even got some decent gear from dungeons, it felt like someone returning home after a long trip. The first thing I wanted to do was lie in my own little house all day and not want to do anything.

This was Zhou Huan's mindset at that moment.

And so, that one night, the next day passed.

Returning to the daily routine at Shrek is monotonous and uninspired, but Zhou Huan happens to enjoy this kind of life.

Because of the extremely high safety level of Shrek, watching his Soul Power Level gradually increase and his strength gradually become capable of making Xiao Xiao, this little loli, cry with a single punch, Zhou Huan was in a very good mood.

From beginning to end, becoming stronger was Zhou Huan's primary goal.

If I could shatter a Douluo Star with a single finger, would I need to live so cautiously, so timidly?

After thinking it over, Zhou Huan decided that he should play it safe. Who knew if there were any other powerful beings like Creator Gods, omnipotent gods, or cosmic gods who could crush a Douluo God King with a single punch?

Living in Fantasy Otherworld, one cannot be without a sense of awe.

However, it's always good to work hard and become stronger, at least after he becomes Invincible Douluo Continent, his freedom will be much greater.

I examine myself three times a day; this is something Zhou Huan often reminds himself of.

And so, the days passed by one by one.

A month and a half passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, while Zhou Huan was working on his books in the library, a little girl skipped up to his desk and said, "Zhou Huan, Zhou Huan, today is the final of the first-year Freshman Competition. Let's go watch! I heard that a peerless genius has emerged this year. It's... it's that pretty blonde girl who registered the other day. I think her name is Le Wuxue."

Zhou Huan took a deep breath and closed the book he was reading, "A Thousand Martial Soul, Ten Thousand Years of Exploration."

Then, with calm, serene eyes, she looked at the little girl before her and sighed, "Xiao Xiao, you're an Inner Court disciple, and Xuan Zi's closed-door Disciple no less. How many times have I told you? Don't rush things. Only with tranquility can you achieve great things. Besides, the freshman finals aren't a big deal; they happen every year, don't they?"

Xiao Xiao completely ignored Zhou Huan's nagging and said, "Yes, there is, but I heard that this year's Le Wuxue is super strong. In the Semifinals, two of her teammates underestimated her and were injured so badly that they can't get out of bed now. So, in today's final, Le Wuxue is fighting three against one."

That's quite interesting.

However, Zhou Huan still asked, "If she's so capable, why couldn't she even save her own teammates?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao was momentarily speechless, but finally said, "How would I know the specifics? I can't possibly watch the games every day. Just tell me, are you going or not?"

Zhou Huan: "..." Here we go again? This little girl always says this when she can't win an argument.

After a pause, Zhou Huan asked, "Your teacher didn't send you again this time, did they?"

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao pouted and said unhappily, "How can the teacher have so much time to manage you? The teacher is so busy now, she doesn't even drink much anymore. I think, there are less than two years left before the next Soul Master Competition starts, right? As a senior sister of the Inner Court, I will definitely participate in the next competition, so I have to pay attention to the potential Reserve Team now."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan felt a mix of emotions. Had this little girl grown up?

Why would you even be thinking about this kind of thing now?

Could Xuanzi truly have trained his Disciple to have such a strong sense of responsibility?

Unfortunately, the next tournament will be held in Mingdu, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire. Apart from the regular team members, it's highly likely that they won't bring the Reserve Team. Since they're in enemy territory, if something happens, where will they find enough people to protect the Reserve Team?

Zhou Huan couldn't remember whether Shrek sent Reserve Team when they went to Mingdu to compete in the original timeline.

After all, who would remember those NPCs who don't even have names?

However, Zhou Huan was quite certain that Xiao Xiao and Huo Gua, along with the other seven, were representing the Tang Sect, not Shrek.

So, all your concern about Reserve Team is a waste of time, little girl.

But Zhou Huan couldn't possibly tell her these things now.

Therefore, Zhou Huan replied, "Alright, let's go take a look. It's rare for Senior Sister Xiao Xiao to have such a refined interest."

In fact, Zhou Huan did want to see just how strong eleven-year-old Le Wuxue really was.
