Zhu Zhuqing said, "If you really have 38th level Soul Power, I... I can give you a kiss. But if you don't, then beat up that blond boy for me!"
After saying that, she pointed at Dai Mubai.
It was obvious that Zhu Zhuqing held a grudge.
Back in Star Luo City, her fiancé, Dai Mubai, had indulged in pleasure and gained a reputation as a playboy.
Unable to withstand the pressure of competition within the families, Dai Mubai had chosen to flee, leaving Zhu Zhuqing behind alone and coming to Shrek Academy.
Because of their families' generations-long marriage alliance, Zhu Zhuqing knew that her fate had already been bound to Dai Mubai's.
She had no other choice.
So, she too fled Star Luo City and came to Shrek Academy, where Dai Mubai was.
Yet, as soon as she arrived in nearby Suotuo City, she saw Dai Mubai taking Girls to a hotel to play in Secret Rooms—and he played with two at once.
Anyone would have held a grudge over that.
"Douluo Continent really is a continent of romance! People always want to kiss at the drop of a hat. If I don't agree, I'll look completely out of place."
"But! Did she really think I couldn't walk when I saw a pretty girl?"
Tang Yu refused without hesitation. "Sorry, I'm not interested."
"Tch, I think you're just scared."
Zhu Zhuqing shot him a glance and followed Tang Yu toward the second entrance examination area.
As long as one's Soul Power was above level 25, they could skip the Second Trial and Third Trial and proceed directly to the final fourth entrance examination.
At that moment, in the second examination area.
Just as in the original work.
Because Dai Mubai had directly led Tang San and Xiao Wu past the second and third examinations, the other bystanders were unconvinced.
So Tang San and Xiao Wu immediately underwent a Soul Power orb test.
Their level 29 Soul Power instantly astonished all the bystanders.
"God! Level 29 Soul Power!"
"We're all the same age, so why can they cultivate so quickly?"
"Is that really something a human can achieve?"
Xiao Wu wore a proud expression. She greatly enjoyed the feeling of being shocked and praised by others.
"I think I can skip the second and third rounds too." At that moment, Ning Rongrong stepped forward, took the Soul Power orb, and revealed a level of 26.
Zhu Zhuqing flashed forward and snatched the Soul Power orb, revealing level 27.
She looked at Tang Yu. "Aren't you going to test your Soul Power?"
"What is this kid's relationship with Zhu Qing?" Dai Mubai stared at Tang Yu with hostility. He had noticed earlier that Zhu Zhuqing had been chatting with Tang Yu all along.
"Go ahead."
Tang Yu smiled and took the Soul Power orb from Zhu Zhuqing's hand.
Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, and the others all turned their gazes toward Tang Yu.
But in their eyes, Tang Yu's Soul Power could only be somewhere in the twenties at most.
Tang San asked with a smile, "Xiao Wu, what level do you think his Soul Power is?"
Xiao Wu pouted and flashed an adorable smile. "Hehe, he definitely won't be higher level than us. Xiao Wu and Third Brother are the strongest."
"Hehe, Xiao Wu, there is always someone stronger, and a sky beyond the sky. We can't be overly confident." Tang San smiled indulgently, but despite his words, he did not believe Tang Yu's level could be higher than his.
Yet the next scene.
Stunned Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and everyone else.
"What?!"
The number that appeared on the Soul Power orb was level 38.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened. She covered her mouth with one hand, her delicate body trembling fiercely in shock. "God! Level 38! He really has 38th level Soul Power. How could such an outstanding man exist in this world?!"
"Level 38! Impossible! How could his Soul Power be so much higher than ours, Third Brother?" Xiao Wu and Tang San both looked utterly incredulous, their expressions somewhat unpleasant.
In an instant, all these so-called geniuses—Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Dai Mubai—were overshadowed.
Even Ning Rongrong, who had always been so proud and confident, felt extraordinarily ordinary. "So amazing..."
Tang Yu had undoubtedly become the most dazzling presence in the entire area.
This immediately left Tang San and Xiao Wu, who had been so self-assured before, feeling somewhat frustrated.
They had come from a small place like Notting City, where they had always been the best and the brightest. Wherever they went, they were the center of attention, the protagonists. Yet now, they had been completely outshone and reduced to supporting roles in someone else's story.
This left them, especially Xiao Wu, deeply frustrated and uncomfortable. Refusing to admit defeat, she said stubbornly, "Tch, so what if he's level 38? What's so impressive about that? Whoever is stronger is the impressive one!"
"Oh? So you think you're stronger than me? Then how about we spar?"
Tang Yu knew that in the fourth round, they would have to fight Zhao Wuji.
If that happened, Tang Yu's abilities would be completely exposed before Tang San.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. An information gap was actually very important in a Soul Master duel.
Tang Yu had been thinking of finding an excuse to hammer Tang San before fighting Zhao Wuji, but Xiao Wu had voluntarily handed him an opening.
In that case, he would not be polite.
"Fine! Who's afraid of who?! Do you think being a level 38 Soul Elder makes you so amazing? Hmph! I'm not afraid of you!" Xiao Wu was also someone who feared neither heaven nor earth. She rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward.
"Whether I'm amazing or not aside, beating you will be more than easy." Tang Yu said confidently.
"Heh, underestimate me, and you'll suffer for it~"
Xiao Wu gave a wicked smile, not believing for a moment that she would lose.
It was not as if she had never fought three rings Soul Elders before. Even the Soul Elder Teachers at Notting Academy had been defeated by her.
"Alright, enough nonsense. Make your move already." Tang Yu crooked a finger at Xiao Wu.
This provocative gesture immediately sent Xiao Wu's anger surging. A beast-like fierceness appeared on her face. "Heh! You're really too arrogant and conceited! Do you really think being a Soul Elder means you've got me beat?!"
"I, Xiao Wu, am a genius capable of challenging opponents above my level!"
"Don't cry when I beat you until you're crawling around looking for your teeth!"
Martial Soul Possession!
Soft Bone Rabbit!
Brimming with confidence, Xiao Wu charged toward Tang Yu.
Tang Yu silently watched Xiao Wu rush straight at him.
"The fourth principle of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record: never try to play the pig to eat the tiger, or you may easily become a pig for real."
Seeing Xiao Wu about to reach him, Tang Yu had yet to release his Martial Soul, while Tang San's lips had already curled into a confident smile. "Heh, this person is far too careless. Foolish. Does he really think Xiao Wu is so easy to deal with?"
"Xiao Wu is extremely strong in close combat. Once her Soft Skill is unleashed at close range, even I would find it difficult to withstand."
"You're finished, level 38 Soul Elder!"
Soft Skill!
Xiao Wu successfully closed in and climbed onto Tang Yu's body.
She climbed all over Tang Yu, exceptionally agile and nimble as she constantly shifted positions, yet Tang Yu remained completely motionless.
Even when Xiao Wu freely wreaked havoc atop an enemy's body, ordinary Soul Masters found it difficult to catch her. Yet at this moment, every movement Xiao Wu made was captured by Tang Yu's focused Spiritual Power.
"Heh, it's over." Tang San and Xiao Wu both smiled confidently.
Yet just as Xiao Wu reached above Tang Yu and was about to unleash her first soul skill, Waist Bow, kicking Tang Yu with both legs.
Tang San and Xiao Wu's expressions changed drastically. "What?!"
"How is that possible?!"
