Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully triggering the suppression reward! Reward One: Top-tier background support—Soul Tool Department Vice Dean, Rank 94 Titled Douluo: Qian Duoduo (Oolong Douluo). Relationship Implantation: Because of the Extreme Gold and Extreme Slaughter talents demonstrated by the Host, Qian Duoduo felt an instant kinship with the Host. Although the Host's special Martial Soul made it inconvenient for him to accept him as a disciple, he would regard the Host as his own grandson and be extremely protective of him! Reward Two: Special Item—Rank 8 Soul Tool "Eight-faced Exquisite" (Growth-type). Item Description: An extremely rare auxiliary Soul Tool. Once worn, it can freely alter the user's facial features, skeletal structure, height, and build. Anyone whose Spiritual Power is not more than two major realms above the Host's will be unable to see through the disguise. It can later raise its rank by devouring rare metals.
Looking at the golden words that had appeared on the System Panel, Dai Yu felt completely reassured, and the mocking curve at the corner of his mouth grew even more pronounced.
Fan Yu?
A Rank 8 Soul Tool Grandmaster?
He was indeed very strong.
But before his immediate superior, one of the true leaders of Shrek Academy's Soul Tool Department,
Titled Douluo Qian Duoduo, he was nothing more than a little brother!
Old hag, let's see how you'll die this time.
Dai Yu stood where he was, facing the fatal palm strike Zhou Yi was about to unleash,
yet he did not even make a move to dodge. He merely looked at her coldly, as though he were looking at a clown.
"Go to hell!"
Zhou Yi roared. The palm wind carrying her Soul Power had already reached Dai Yu's face, and its fierce force even stung his cheeks.
Huo Yuhao closed his eyes in despair. Wang Dong cried out in alarm and tried to rush over, but the Soul Emperor's pressure pinned him firmly in place.
At the critical moment!
"Boom—!!!"
An even more terrifying and heavier silver Light Screen descended from the sky without warning, instantly stretching between Dai Yu and Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi's furious strike landed on the Light Screen like an egg smashing against a rock,
without even stirring a ripple,
while a tremendous force of recoil sent her flying backward!
"Pfft—"
Still in midair, Zhou Yi spat out a mouthful of blood before crashing heavily into a distant flowerbed, utterly disheveled.
"Who?!
Who dares interfere in other people's business?!"
Zhou Yi climbed to her feet with her hair hanging loose and shouted with false bravado.
However, the moment she saw who had arrived, the resentment on her face instantly froze, replaced by endless terror.
An imposing, square-faced old man stood in front of Dai Yu.
His hands were clasped behind his back. He wore no particularly splendid clothes and even carried a trace of the commoner's air,
but the nine slowly revolving Soul Rings around him were like nine towering mountains, pressing down on everyone present until they could barely breathe!
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!
A Titled Douluo!
"Zhou Yi, you certainly put on quite a show!"
Qian Duoduo's face was as cold as still water. His usually smiling eyes now gleamed with chill as he fixed them on Zhou Yi:
"You made a lethal attack against a new student who just enrolled?
Is this how Fan Yu usually disciplines you?
Have you even started treating my words as mere wind in your ears?!"
"D-Dean Qian?!"
Zhou Yi's legs went limp from fright, and she fell directly to her knees, her voice trembling:
"N-No, that's not it... It was him!
He openly disrespected his teacher and disrupted classroom discipline. I only wanted to teach him a lesson..."
"Shut up!"
Qian Duoduo roared, and the terrifying sound wave made Zhou Yi's eardrums ache:
"Teach him a lesson?
I think you wanted to kill someone!
Since when did the rules of Shrek Academy allow teachers to slaughter students at will?
I'll personally settle this matter with Fan Yu!
Now, get your ass to the Academic Affairs Office and receive your punishment!
Without my permission, you are not to come within ten steps of these children!"
Zhou Yi's face turned deathly pale. She never would have imagined that a few new students would actually draw out the Soul Tool Department's Vice Dean,
and a Rank 94 Titled Douluo at that—Qian Duoduo!
She could throw tantrums in front of Fan Yu, but before Qian Duoduo, she would not dare even if she had a hundred lives!
"Yes... yes..."
Zhou Yi shot Dai Yu a venomous glance, but she did not dare say another word. Clutching her chest, she fled the scene in disgrace.
Only after Zhou Yi had disappeared did Qian Duoduo rein in his terrifying aura.
He turned around and looked at Dai Yu behind him. His originally stern face instantly bloomed like a chrysanthemum, becoming incomparably kind and benevolent.
That gaze was exactly like the way one looked at a precious grandson from a family with only one heir for generations.
"Good grandson... Ahem, I mean, kid Dai Yu, are you all right?"
Qian Duoduo looked Dai Yu up and down, growing more satisfied the longer he looked.
Extreme Gold!
This was a natural-born seed for becoming a Soul Engineer!
Although this boy's Martial Soul was a White Tiger and he followed the Attack Type path, making him unsuitable to become Qian Duoduo's personal disciple,
that did not stop him from doting on the boy like his own grandson!
If he could coax this boy into registering with the Soul Tool Department, that would be excellent as well!
"Thank you, senior, for saving my life."
Although Dai Yu understood everything perfectly, he still put on an expression of overwhelming gratitude and respectfully bowed.
"But... why did you help me, senior?"
"Hey, none of this 'senior' nonsense. Call me Grandpa!"
Qian Duoduo waved his large hand, completely ignoring the surrounding students' astonished expressions,
and patted Dai Yu on the shoulder with a beaming smile:
"This old man is Qian Duoduo, Vice Dean of the Soul Tool Department.
I happened to be passing by just now when I sensed an extremely pure Geng Metal Qi. I never expected it to have come from you, little fellow.
Good!
Very good!
Extreme Gold and Extreme Slaughter—Dual Extreme Attributes. In all my life, I have never seen anything like it!
Although your Martial Soul is a Beast Martial Soul, these attributes resonate with me!
From now on in Shrek, if anyone dares bully you, just give them my name!
Even if that old thing Yan Shaozhe shows up, I still dare to pluck out a few of his whiskers!"
His words caused an uproar throughout the entire scene.
Everyone looked at Dai Yu as though they were looking at a monster.
Just what kind of background did Dai Yu have?
He had actually made a Titled Douluo acknowledge him as his grandson on the spot?!
This was no longer a case of kicking an iron plate. He had kicked a titanium-alloy steel plate!
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were even more dumbfounded.
Wang Dong poked Huo Yuhao in the waist:
"Hey, this... this is part of Dai Yu's background too?"
Huo Yuhao swallowed hard:
"I-I don't know... Yu Ge has never mentioned it..."
After handling the "family reunion" scene, Qian Duoduo stuffed a golden token into Dai Yu's hands,
then left in satisfaction. Before departing, he even reminded Dai Yu to visit him at the Soul Tool Department whenever he had the time.
After the crowd dispersed, Dai Yu returned to the dormitory.
He eagerly began examining the second item from the System Reward.
With a thought, a delicate silver mask appeared in his hand.
The mask was as thin as a cicada's wing. Complicated patterns were carved across it, and faint spatial fluctuations radiated from it.
Rank 8 Soul Tool—Eight-faced Exquisite!
"With this thing, it will be much more convenient to handle matters outside in the future."
Dai Yu pressed the mask against his face.
A cool sensation spread through him, and the mask instantly merged into his skin and vanished.
Immediately afterward, Dai Yu's thoughts stirred.
His bones gave off a faint crackling sound, and his original height of around one hundred and sixty centimeters abruptly stretched to two meters!
The muscles on his face writhed. In the blink of an eye, that handsome youth had transformed into a burly man with a face full of flesh and a fierce gaze.
Even the aura around him changed from sharp Geng Metal Qi into a thick and steady Earth Attribute aura!
"Perfect."
Dai Yu looked at his completely unfamiliar reflection in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.
"Now, whether I'm visiting the black market for treasures or hunting Soul Beasts, I won't have to worry about exposing my identity."
