"Obedience Test"

Xiao Wu's room.

Xiao Wu was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt her Soul Power surge within her.

[Yesterday's Diary Reading Reward Issued]

[Reward: Soul Power +1 Level]

Xiao Wu opened her eyes and felt the increase in Soul Power within her. She was stunned for a moment, then happily rolled around on the bed.

"Level 30! I can get my third Soul Ring now! It's even a little faster than three!"

She sat up, summoned her Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul, and felt her more solidified Soul Power, a brilliant smile appearing on her face.

"Yu Tiancheng, you're such a good person! I don't know who you are, but thank you!"

But as she smiled, her expression gradually became complicated, and her ears drooped slightly unconsciously.

She picked up the diary by her pillow again and flipped through its contents.

"Soul Hunting Plan... Destruction of the Upper Three Sects... Martial Soul Hall..."

As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who had transformed into human form, Xiao Wu originally didn't care about the conflicts in the human world. She just wanted to avenge her mother and then live peacefully and cultivate with Tang San.

However, the information revealed in the diary made it impossible for her to ignore.

Martial Soul Hall, the organization that had hunted her mother and forced her to flee the Star Dou Great Forest.

If what Yu Tiancheng said was true, and Martial Soul Hall would become so powerful in the future, launching the so-called "Soul Hunting Plan."

"Will there be a day when their soul hunting targets are no longer human sects, but..."

Xiao Wu bit her lip, a flicker of worry in her eyes.

She thought of Da Ming and Er Ming, and the powerful Soul Beast friends in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"No, I can't let them become powerful!"

A hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

"This Yu Tiancheng knows the future, and he also wants to change those tragedies."

If he succeeded and Martial Soul Hall's plan was hindered, it would be good for Da Ming and Er Ming too.

She jumped off the bed and paced around the room, thinking.

"After some more time, Shrek Academy should be moving to Heaven Dou City and merging with that Blue Tyrant Academy..."

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. At that time, she would be able to meet this Yu Tiancheng!

"I have to see for myself what kind of person you are. If he's a good person, and truly wants to oppose Martial Soul Hall..."

Xiao Wu's face broke into a smile again, with a hint of cunning, "Helping him is like helping Brother, helping myself, and helping Da Ming and Er Ming!"

She carefully put the diary away, deciding not to tell Tang San about this for now.

After all, the origin of the diary was too mysterious, and it would be too troublesome to explain.

"First, I'll get my third Soul Ring and become stronger!" Xiao Wu cheered herself up energetically.

"Yu Tiancheng, I'll see you in Heaven Dou City!"

Martial Soul Hall, Pope's Palace Bedchamber.

Bibi Dong opened her eyes, a sharp glint flashing in her beautiful eyes.

[Yesterday's Diary Reading Reward Issued]

[Reward: First Soul Ring Age +500 Years]

Bibi Dong felt the change in her first Soul Ring and was deeply shaken.

As the Pope of Martial Soul Hall, a rare Super Douluo on the continent, she knew too well what an increase in Soul Ring age meant—this was something only a god could do!

And now, just by reading a diary, her first Soul Ring had increased from 423 years to 923 years!

An increase in Soul Ring age meant enhanced Soul Skill power, more solidified Soul Power, and even an improvement in cultivation speed.

"The power behind this diary is definitely divine!"

And it might not be inferior to the Rakshasa God.

Bibi Dong looked at the diary by her hand, her gaze becoming profound.

She had originally thought that this diary might be a conspiracy by some force trying to disrupt the continent's situation.

But now, it seemed that things were far from that simple.

A power that could arbitrarily increase Soul Ring age...

"Yu Tiancheng, who exactly are you?"

"And what is the purpose of the being behind you?"

Bibi Dong stood up and walked to the window, looking at the devout believers praying in the Martial Soul Hall square.

"He knows about the Soul Hunting Plan and wants to change the future."

"Interesting."

A cold smile curved her lips.

"Then let me see what you can do."

"If your appearance can truly change certain predetermined destinies..."

A complex expression flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by coldness.

"But if you dare to obstruct the Martial Soul Hall's great cause of unification."

"Even if a god is behind you, I will slay that god!"

She turned back to her throne, opened the diary, and reread it.

This time, she read more carefully.

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, or Liu Erlong's nephew..."

"It seems I need to send someone to Heaven Dou City to take a look."

Outside the gates of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.

Yu Tiancheng carried a simple travel bag.

He looked back at the place he had lived for twelve years.

"Goodbye."

"When I return next time, I will make all of you see me in a new light."

He turned and set off on the road to Heaven Dou City.

To save time, he specifically chose a shortcut—through the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Although dangerous, with the Time-Space Ring, his Soul Power could recover continuously, making travel much more efficient.

Moreover...

"There are many Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. Maybe I can break through level 20 on the way and directly obtain my second Soul Ring."

"The second Soul Ring for the Time Dragon Emperor Martial Soul should be at least from a thousand-year Soul Beast."

He felt the map in his pocket, confirming his direction.

"At this speed, if I travel at full speed, I can cross the outskirts in two days, and it will take a few more days to reach Heaven Dou City."

He hoped the journey would be smooth.

At the same time, on the training ground of Shrek Academy.

Dean Flender stood before everyone, his expression serious.

"Today's lesson is simple, but very important." His sharp gaze swept over every student present.

"Each of you must eat at least one of the two sausages made by Oscar's Soul Power."

As he spoke, a strange silence fell over the training ground.

Oscar's sausages were effective, but that incantation...

Ning Rongrong bit her lip, the words from the diary flashing in her mind.

If she couldn't even overcome this small difficulty, how could she talk about becoming stronger? How could she protect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

She took a deep breath and was the first to step forward, walking up to Oscar. "Give me one."

Oscar looked at her with some surprise, but still recited the embarrassing incantation: "I've got a big sausage!"

A steaming hot sausage appeared in his hand.

Ning Rongrong closed her eyes, took the sausage, and took a big bite.

It tasted surprisingly good?

She opened her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them, then unhesitatingly finished the rest. She then took the small jerky sausage and quickly finished it as well.

The entire process was swift and decisive, without a hint of hesitation.

A hint of approval flashed in Flender's eyes. "Very good, Ning Rongrong, you passed."

With Ning Rongrong leading the way, the others stepped forward one by one.

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Tang San, Xiao Wu... everyone ate Oscar's sausages.

Xiao Wu mumbled as she ate, "Actually, it's quite tasty."

Finally, it was Zhu Zhuqing's turn.

The girl, who always wore a cold expression, walked forward expressionlessly, took the sausage, and ate it in small but exceptionally quick bites. The entire process was without hesitation, not even a flicker in her eyes.

It was as if she wasn't eating the sausage with the embarrassing incantation, but ordinary food.

"Very good." Flender nodded with satisfaction. "All of you have passed today's lesson. This shows you have a preliminary grasp of the trust required for a team."

He paused, his voice turning serious. "Tomorrow, Teacher Zhao Wuji will take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to help Oscar obtain his third Soul Ring."

"Remember, the Star Dou Great Forest is not like the Soul Hunting Forest outside Suotuo City. It is fraught with danger, with thousand-year Soul Beasts everywhere, and you might even encounter ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts. Everyone must obey orders."

Oscar rubbed his hands excitedly. "Finally, it's time to get my third Soul Ring. I wonder what Soul Skill it will be."

Ning Rongrong was a little nervous, but thinking of the future mentioned in her diary strengthened her resolve. She clenched her fist and told herself, This is just the beginning. I must become stronger.

Xiao Wu, on the other hand, was a little excited—returning to the Star Dou Great Forest felt like going home.

Tang San patted Xiao Wu's shoulder. "Don't worry, Teacher Zhao is here. We'll be fine."

Zhu Zhuqing stood silently to the side, her gaze firm.

Become stronger, obtain Soul Rings, and then... go to Heaven Dou City.

She already had a clear roadmap in her mind.

As night fell, the Shrek Academy students returned to their rooms to rest, conserving their energy for the next day's journey into the forest.

Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away, Yu Tiancheng had also settled into a small town inn, half a day's journey from the Star Dou Great Forest.
