Breakthrough to Level 30

Little Bell had desperately wanted to become an Assault System Soul Master like her sister, with the ability to protect others. Unfortunately... she had ultimately awakened the Spirit Nourishing Ganoderma, a Plant-type Martial Soul, with Level 8 Soul Power, becoming a Healing-type Soul Master.

After being comforted by her sister, she calmly accepted it. She felt that she could still be useful and become her sister's Personal Doctor.

Her sister would never have to fear getting hurt again.

And she definitely would not sit around waiting to die!

Little did she know that because of Shen Ranxi, countless people in the future would tremble at the very mention of this harmless-looking Healing-type Soul Master.

Shen Ranxi patted Little Bell's back, the corner of her mouth curving up in a smile. "Of course I did. How could I not? But why aren't you in class with your teacher?"

Little Bell's teacher was an old acquaintance.

Little Bell rubbed away her tears against her sister's embrace, then chuckled cheerfully. "I finished the task Teacher assigned me ages ago. I came back specifically to wait for you. And Teacher asked me to bring something to you."

Shen Ranxi did not notice her little movements at all. She was wondering what Sister Mosna had to give her.

A dazed look flashed through her eyes. If Sister Mosna had not revealed her identity herself, Shen Ranxi would never have discovered that she was actually a Soul Saint—and a Healing-type Soul Master at that.

She had revealed her identity in order to take Little Bell as her Direct Disciple.

Seeing this, Flender said, "Little Xi, you children go catch up first. Later, tell the teachers about what you gained in the Cafeteria."

The teachers all left.

Only then did Oscar and Ma Hongjun arrive, panting heavily.

"Little Xi!" "Sister Xi!" Ma Hongjun and Oscar approached excitedly.

Oscar also greeted Feifei. "Feifei, did you miss me?" Feifei flicked its tail and raised its chin at him. This was its cook, after all, so it could reluctantly give him a pleasant look.

But it had no pleasant expression whatsoever for Ma Hongjun, who competed with it for food.

The group chatted and laughed as they headed toward the Cafeteria. Oscar and Fatty kept peppering her with questions, but Shen Ranxi did not find it annoying. After three months in the mountains without their constant chatter, she had actually felt rather unaccustomed to the quiet.

Inside the Cafeteria.

Teacher Shao Xin was cooking today, and the table was already covered with dishes.

Ma Hongjun threw himself at the table and shouted miserably, "Teachers, you're playing favorites! The moment Little Xi comes back, you make so much Delicious Food. Usually, you just brush us off. Wuwuwu~ I'm heartbroken."

Oscar rolled his eyes. "Fatty, you actually have the nerve to say that? You eat enough for several people in one meal. The school is going to go broke feeding you. Have some self-awareness."

Ma Hongjun said angrily, "I don't care. This is my only hobby. Every day, Teacher throws me around like a punching bag. If I don't eat more, how am I supposed to survive..."

Zhao Wuji teasingly nudged Flender, his gaze full of mockery. Lu Qibin lifted the tea Shen Ranxi had given him, steam curling over his smiling eyes.

Flender's gaze shifted away. Hong Jun worked so hard, so it was only right for him to eat more... It was just that the money being spent made his heart ache...

Shen Ranxi watched the scene with a smile in her eyes, feeling herself relax slightly. This Training had kept her nerves taut, and staying tense for three months had not been easy.

As they ate, everyone listened to Shen Ranxi recount her experiences, and she handed them their gifts.

Flender naturally recognized the item in his hand. "Royal Jelly?!"

Zhao Wuji was quite pleased. Perhaps because his Martial Soul was a Bear, he rather liked honey.

What Bear didn't love honey?

Shen Ranxi said, "Teacher, I've already made a Breakthrough to Level 30."

She casually dropped a bombshell, as though she had merely said, "The weather is nice today."

Lu Qibin, who had been drinking tea, spat out a mouthful onto Ma Hongjun's face.

Receiving a resentful glare, Ma Hongjun wiped his face. "Teacher Lu, you got too excited."

No one paid attention to him. With a screech, a chair was suddenly shoved over onto the floor.

Flender instantly appeared before Shen Ranxi. "Little Xi, is that really true?!"

Everyone present went from Astonished to shocked as they watched the calm-faced Young Girl nod in confirmation.

The teachers present could all be considered Strong Experts. Over the years, they had seen no shortage of Geniuses and taught many monsters, so few people had ever made them view them differently.

But Shen Ranxi was vastly different from the Geniuses and monsters they had seen before.

Calling her a Genius was far too plain, far too inadequate.

She had just turned eleven, yet she had already crossed the threshold of Level Thirty. Her talent was monstrously exceptional, but she lacked even a trace of a Genius's arrogance. She could endure hardship better than anyone, and sometimes even they found that ruthlessness frightening. Was she really a child?

They had no doubt that Shen Ranxi would one day become a Titled Douluo renowned across the continent. Even becoming a god was not impossible...

Twin Martial Souls. Once she reached Titled Douluo, she could add Soul Rings to her other Martial Soul. At that point, even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings could be considered...

After their shock faded, the teachers were overjoyed. Such a Genius was a student of Shrek Academy. Hahahaha!

The Cafeteria filled with the teachers' hearty laughter.

Ma Hongjun had a chicken drumstick stuffed in his mouth as he watched happily.

Little Bell looked immensely proud, her face clearly saying, "My sister is just that amazing."

Though happy for Shen Ranxi, Oscar could not help feeling dejected. He was even a few months older than Little Xi, yet he was only Level 25 now... The gap was far too great... When would he ever catch up to her?

Shen Ranxi noticed the dejection in Oscar's eyes and patted his shoulder. "Oscar, don't be discouraged. Support System cultivation is naturally slower. Not only do you have Innate Full Soul Power, but you also have a Meat-Eating System Martial Soul. You're already ahead of many people. Besides, haven't you always trained your physique with me? You'll become the first Support System Soul Master who can fight!"

Tears immediately glimmered in Oscar's peach-blossom eyes. He looked at Shen Ranxi emotionally. "Thank you, Little Xi. I'll work hard! You're so kind!"

Feeling goosebumps at his mushiness, Shen Ranxi twitched the corner of her mouth and changed the subject. "Teacher, when are we going to obtain my Third Soul Ring?"

At that, Flender's delighted expression turned serious. "No rush. School starts in two days. Once you enroll, we'll take the new students along as well. It can count as Training for them."

It would accomplish two things at once.

Zhao Wuji grinned. "You're so sure we'll recruit students this year? Recruiting Little Xi and the other two was already blind luck for you. You're dreaming."

Flender adjusted his glasses. "If we don't recruit anyone this year, then so be it. Little Xi and Oscar can enroll anyway."

***

Two mornings later.

After completing her meditation and doing some simple physical training, Shen Ranxi went to the Cafeteria for breakfast.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun followed behind her. Ma Hongjun panted and said enviously, "Sister Xi ran much farther than us. Why does she still look so relaxed?"

Ma Hongjun was at least a Battle Soul Master, while Oscar was a frail Support System Soul Master. Yet Oscar looked even more bedraggled than Ma Hongjun. "Y-you should look at the ground Little Xi walked over..."

Ma Hongjun looked down and saw that wherever Shen Ranxi had walked, there was a string of deep footprints. One had to know that the ground was paved with stone slabs.

"Holy shit!!!"

Ma Hongjun asked in shock, "Sister Xi, did your staff get heavier again?"

Helplessness flashed through Shen Ranxi's eyes. She had forgotten. When she summoned the Golden Cudgel today and withdrew her Soul Power, it had nearly crushed her to death.

She finally understood that a god's weapon was not so easy to use.

If others knew, they would definitely curse her for failing to appreciate her blessings! Wasn't she just showing off?

"More than five thousand jin now. I have to get used to it again, but fortunately, my body can withstand far more than before. Give me two days, and I'll adapt."

Shao Xin watched the three children eat with a smile. Beside them, Feifei was also eating Shao Xin's special meal.

"Your Dean has something to discuss with you."
