[I hadn't planned on writing in my diary right now, but there are some things I just have to get off my chest. Is the sect master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect out of her mind? Why does Ning Tian have to drag me along to Shrek Academy? I've never even met her, and we have nothing to do with each other. Why does she insist on having me accompany her to Shrek Academy?]
[The sect master's really got a lot of faith in me. I'm so handsome—doesn't she worry Ning Tian will be unable to take her eyes off me once she sees me? After all, this is the Love Brain Continent, where looks are everything. Anything can happen.]
[Damned Shrek... I don't want to go to Shrek at all!]
Ning Tian was packing her bags when she saw the new entries appear in the diary. Her face lit up, and she couldn't help giving her mother a mental thumbs-up.
Yesterday, she'd just told her mother she wanted Ao Yao to go to Shrek Academy with her. By this morning, her mother had already found him.
Now that was the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect master's efficiency!
But when she read what Ao Yao wrote next, Ning Tian's cheeks turned faintly red. She couldn't help muttering under her breath.
What did he mean, she'd be unable to take her eyes off him once she saw him? That was such an awful way to put it... Was she really the kind of person who cared about looks?
The man Ning Tian married had to be strong, all right?
That was what she told herself, but she was still a little curious about Ao Yao's looks. She'd seen him brag about his appearance in the diary more than once, even claiming that the landlady had confirmed it.
And with all the rumors going around the sect, she really was curious.
That was all. She was simply curious, and had absolutely no other thoughts!
Wang Dong'er, over at the Clear Sky Sect, also brightened when she saw the new diary entries. She'd planned to secretly search the continent for Ao Yao after leaving the Clear Sky Sect, but she hadn't expected that he'd be heading to Shrek Academy too!
And even if Ao Yao didn't end up going to Shrek Academy, she now knew where he was.
The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, huh?
In that case, she could follow Niu Tian and Tai Tan's plan to go to Shrek Academy disguised as a boy, without arousing their suspicions. If Ao Yao wasn't at Shrek Academy, she could sneak away and head to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to look for him.
Wang Dong'er couldn't help giving her clever little self a mental thumbs-up.
Plan success~
Meanwhile, Ao Yao had no idea what anyone else was thinking. He kept writing furiously, venting his resentment in his diary.
[Shrek Academy, the continent's number one academy. It sounds impressive and prestigious, but in reality, it's a bizarre place! Take that famous Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, an ancestor of Shrek Academy from ten thousand years ago. He came up with that slogan about how there are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters. And yet he was the biggest waste of them all!]
[He had a perfectly good Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul, but failed to awaken it properly and ended up with the useless Martial Soul Luo Sanpao. Then, even in middle age, he was still just a useless Level 29 Soul Grandmaster. "There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters"—he was basically introducing himself!]
[He got himself the title of Grandmaster by riding on his first love's coattails, then left her looking less than human before walking away like nothing had happened. After that, he went off and started dating his own cousin. The most ridiculous part is that they even had direct descendants!]
[Sea God Pavilion Master Mu En and Bei Bei are both direct descendants of those two. That's completely absurd! They're playing cousin marriage on the Douluo Continent. Aren't you afraid someone's going to break your legs?]
Zhang Lexuan, who was in the Inner Court, and Tang Ya, who had been fretting over how to improve her cultivation, both sucked in a sharp breath.
The Sea God Pavilion Master and Bei Bei were direct descendants of that Yu Xiaogang and his cousin!?
[And that's already outrageous enough, but Shrek Academy has even more outrageous stuff. I can't even be bothered to rant about that Taotie Douluo, Xuan Zi. He's ancient, but he's never managed to do his job properly. A Level 98 Super Douluo led the Shrek Seven Devils to capture an Evil Soul Master who was only a Soul King, and somehow let that Evil Soul Master blow himself up, leaving the Shrek Seven Devils with one dead and six injured!]
[The Holy Spirit Cult couldn't pull it off, but you did, Xuan Zi! And you still tried to make excuses, claiming you weren't an honorary Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult?]
[This damned Shrek Academy keeps going on about its dedication to hunting down and killing Evil Soul Masters, yet both of the Holy Spirit Cult's Saintesses came from Shrek Academy!]
[One was Ma Xiaotao, a disciple of the Martial Soul Department dean. The other was Tang Ya, the head of the Tang Sect. Once those two became Evil Soul Masters, they were each more sinister than the other!]
Shrek Academy, Inner Court.
Ma Xiaotao had recently been in a good mood, since her Evil Fire hadn't troubled her much. But when she saw what appeared in the diary, her pretty face darkened at once, and her eyes seemed to spit fire.
Anyone familiar with Ma Xiaotao knew she was absolutely furious.
She'd thought of the mysterious diary as nothing more than a bit of entertainment, a chance to get some juicy gossip. She'd never imagined that the gossip would end up being about her!
At first, when she read that Xuan Zi had led the team and left the Shrek Seven Devils with one dead and six injured, Ma Xiaotao had only been a little puzzled. She hadn't paid it much attention, merely wondering whether it was some dark secret from Xuan Zi's past or something that would happen in the future.
But when she finished reading what came next, Ma Xiaotao flew into a rage. She wished she could appear in front of that brat named Ao Yao right then and there and teach him a harsh lesson!
I, Ma Xiaotao, hate Evil Soul Masters with every fiber of my being. I'll never make peace with them!
And you dare say I'll become a Saintess of the Holy Spirit Cult in the future—that I'll fall and become an Evil Soul Master?
I don't care if you're a transmigrator... How dare you slander me like that!
So you're coming to Shrek Academy with the young lady of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, are you?
Ma Xiaotao sneered, a cruel look on her face.
"If you dare come, I dare burn you! If I don't singe every last hair on your body, you can consider yourself lucky!"
The instant the words left her mouth, an indescribable pain suddenly shot through her.
Ma Xiaotao's face went deathly pale. She clutched at her chest, her expression one of disbelief.
Could this be...
The Pain of Ten Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart mentioned in the group rules?
The searing pain instantly left Ma Xiaotao helpless. Her body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground, fine beads of sweat breaking out across her forehead in an instant.
There was no easing this agony, let alone resisting it!
It hurt! It hurt so much!
It was an unbearable torment!
Ma Xiaotao refused to beg for mercy. She'd planned to tough it out, but then the Soul Power inside her began to surge out of control. Her Evil Fire, which had been relatively stable lately, turned violently savage in an instant, rampaging through every channel in her body!
