A delighted smile appeared on Tang San's face. He took the initiative to walk toward Xiao Wu, intending to say something to her.

But at that moment, Xiao Wu stopped Tang San from speaking.

She said softly, "Third Brother, let's talk somewhere else. Rongrong is still cultivating inside. Don't disturb her."

Tang San naturally had no objection to Xiao Wu's considerate suggestion.

They left the dormitory area and headed into the village.

Tang San said with an apologetic expression, "Xiao Wu, I'm sorry. It was all my fault yesterday. I didn't protect you properly."

"This isn't your fault, Third Brother. That teacher was just too powerful!" Xiao Wu said. "This place is different from Nuoding City. Everyone seems very strong here. Fortunately, no Spirit Douluo-level experts have appeared."

Given Xiao Wu's identity as a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Transformation, any expert above the Spirit Douluo rank would be able to notice something unusual about her.

Now that she had arrived at Shrek Academy and no one had noticed anything amiss about her, it meant there were no experts above the Spirit Douluo rank.

Xiao Wu let out a sigh of relief and continued chatting with Tang San.

The people of the continent merely found Xiao Wu's words strange. They did not suspect that she was a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Transformation.

Only Xiao Wu's family of three in the Star Dou Great Forest knew that she was a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Transformation.

However, Xiao Wu was still young, innocent, and naive. Only Ah Rou and Xiao Wu worried about the Xiao Wu on the Sky Screen.

Having lost her parents, Xiao Wu had come alone to human society.

She really was rather pitiful.

Tang San and Xiao Wu wandered around the village.

Before long, they witnessed a young couple breaking up.

Perhaps because Tang San and Xiao Wu had witnessed it, the man who had been dumped came to resent them and deliberately picked a fight.

Xiao Wu also disliked the dumped man's attitude.

Tang San naturally took Xiao Wu's side.

He had sworn that he would protect Xiao Wu and never let her get hurt!

Therefore, when the dumped man launched an attack, Tang San stepped forward.

After putting in a great deal of effort, he finally defeated the dumped man.

However, the dumped man refused to accept it. He wanted to fight Tang San and Xiao Wu to the death.

Just then, Dai Mubai arrived and stopped the conflict before it could erupt.

He exposed the identity of the dumped man.

The dumped man was called Ma Hongjun.

His martial soul was a mutated phoenix.

Of course, judging by its appearance, it was really just a local chicken.

But in Ma Hongjun's heart, it was a phoenix!

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Madam Ning widened her eyes and stared blankly at Ma Hongjun's martial soul. Speechless, she said, "Fengzhi, he says his martial soul is a phoenix? Do you believe him?"

"It doesn't look like a phoenix, but that doesn't mean it can't evolve into one." Ning Fengzhi rubbed his chin and pondered for a long while before saying, "It should be a mutated martial soul. It was probably some kind of local chicken martial soul before."

"It became a phoenix after mutating, but unfortunately, the mutation was incomplete. There should be some kind of side effect..."

Ning Fengzhi's guess was quite accurate.

He had merely seen Ma Hongjun summon his martial soul to defeat Tang San and Xiao Wu on the Sky Screen, claiming it was a phoenix, and he had already made a rough guess—and guessed correctly.

Holy Spirit Village.

Villager A: "What kind of martial soul is that? It looks like a chicken, a chicken that can breathe fire..."

Villager B: "He says it's a phoenix. Does he think I've never seen a phoenix before? There's no way a phoenix could be such a lousy chicken."

Villager C: "It's just a mutated local chicken. I wonder whether it can mutate again later?"

The villagers discussed it animatedly, offering all sorts of opinions.

Some people even felt it would be nice if another Prize Quiz appeared here.

Unfortunately, the Sky Screen System would not even listen to Lin Xianyu. How could it possibly listen to everyone else?

Dai Mubai introduced Ma Hongjun's identity, one of Shrek Academy's three students.

His martial soul was a mutated local chicken. Naturally, he would not take the initiative to admit it, but if someone asked, he would tell the truth.

Although it was a mutated local chicken, it might yet become a phoenix in the future.

After introducing Ma Hongjun's identity, Dai Mubai began explaining the flaws of Ma Hongjun's martial soul.

Because the mutation of his martial soul was incomplete and had developed in an unfavorable direction, it caused his fire of desire to surge, and then...

Ma Hongjun had long since mastered the means of surviving without anyone teaching him.

He had no choice. If he did not possess the skills necessary to stay alive despite the defect caused by his failed martial soul mutation, he would probably have died young.

If he had a choice, Ma Hongjun would have preferred to live openly and honorably instead of relying on getting girlfriends to survive.

He had changed quite a few girlfriends over the years.

Take last year, for example. He had changed six girlfriends.

This year had only just begun, yet he had already broken up with one just now.

After introducing Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai led Tang San and Xiao Wu to meet Dean Flanders.

On the way to see Dean Flanders, they gradually met the other students of the academy.

The first person they saw was Zhu Zhuqing. She was still wearing that leather outfit, without even changing clothes, cold as an iceberg.

Then came Ning Rongrong, and finally Oscar.

With his beard shaved off, Oscar revealed those peach blossom eyes of his. He truly had a rather distinctive charm.

All of Shrek Academy's students had arrived.

Aside from the few who truly could not get away, practically everyone was there.

Dean Flanders came over to give them a lecture and made arrangements for Shrek Academy's seven students.

He ordered the two Support System Soul Masters to go running.

They had to run twenty laps around the village. If they did not finish, they would not be allowed lunch that day.

He also demanded 100 Gold Soul Coins from the students for living expenses.

Afterward, he recognized Tang San as the disciple of his former friend.

The Sky Screen's explanation of Ma Hongjun's mutated martial soul drew the attention of many people.

Quite a few people thought his mutated local chicken martial soul was very powerful.

It could actually breathe fire, and its offensive power was quite formidable.

Its appearance was a little ugly, but as long as it was powerful, that was enough.

The scene shifted to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, the young miss has successfully enrolled in Shrek Academy."

"How is Shrek Academy's situation?"

"There are several Spirit Emperors and at least one Soul Saint. This subordinate did not dare to infiltrate it, but I delivered the letter given by the Sect Master to Shrek Academy's dean."

"Good, I understand. You may..."

Ning Fengzhi had not finished speaking when the tightly shut doors suddenly flew open, and a frigid wind rushed in.

Sensing something unusual, Ning Fengzhi turned around.

At that moment, Sword Douluo flew in while standing on his martial soul and landed before Ning Fengzhi.

He looked at Ning Fengzhi and asked expressionlessly, "Where is Rongrong?"

"Uncle Sword, sit down first," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

Sword Douluo was so angry that his face turned pale.

He had no desire to sit down right now, but in the end, he still took a seat.

Mainly because Ning Fengzhi had treated him with courtesy.

He still had to give the respect that was due.
