"Heavenly Emperor..."

Zhu Zhuqing was baffled by such an unfamiliar title.

Born into an aristocratic family, what genius had she not seen before?

Even so, if those worldly young nobles and geniuses encountered this man, they would be like grains of rice before the bright moon!

She sighed softly to herself, secretly glanced at Ning Rongrong, and a trace of envy appeared in her eyes!

"Roar!"

In the waters, seeing that it had no way to escape, the Mutant White Tiger let out a series of low roars.

Decisive and ruthless by nature, it shook its head as an incredibly powerful wave of Soul Power emerged from its body!

Self-destruction?

Seeing this, Ye Xingchen sighed slightly and folded his arms.

"I only need the White Tiger Divine Beast Soul Ring inside you. It won't do any harm to you!"

"Why go this far?"

The Mutant White Tiger, which understood human speech, let out a low roar but remained unmoved.

Faced with this irresistible opponent, it would rather die than have its Soul Ring stripped away!

"Roar..."

With a low growl, the Mutant White Tiger's body suddenly burst with white light!

Just as it was about to successfully self-destruct, the water beneath its feet abruptly began to surge violently!

Immediately afterward, a huge palm formed from water slammed down onto its body!

Soul Skill—Crashing Waves!

Ye Xingchen, still with his arms folded, sighed softly. Looking at the dying White Tiger, he walked over!

"System! Strip the White Tiger Divine Beast Soul Ring from its body!"

The moment he spoke, the System's power immediately covered the White Tiger.

The entire surrounding area was also enclosed by a water tank under his deliberate control!

Outside, Ning Rongrong immediately understood that Ye Xingchen was absorbing a Soul Ring when she saw this scene!

She smiled slightly and, without hesitation, released her Soul Power to stand guard around him.

"A second Soul Ring..."

"How powerful will it be..."

Zhu Zhuqing sighed awkwardly. Looking at the enormous water tank formed atop the lake, she too released her Soul Power and slowly began standing guard!

A short while later, Ye Xingchen, dressed in white, slowly opened his eyes within the water tank. Two Yellow Soul Rings were clearly wrapped around his body!

The Mutant White Tiger's awakened Divine Beast Bloodline had forcefully raised it from an ordinary hundred-year White Tiger to a six-hundred-year one!

The saturation level of its Soul Power was extremely compatible with Ye Xingchen's own Soul Power!

With a casual wave of his hand, a flower formed from Soul Power appeared in his palm!

"Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the Soul Skill Tiger Roars in the Forest!"

"Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained Martial Soul Lottery x1!"

"Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained 100,000 Spiritual Qi!"

Hearing the System notifications, Ye Xingchen was overjoyed!

Having absorbed his second Soul Ring, he had gained another Soul Skill. Including Xuanwu's Soul Skill, he now possessed three Soul Skills!

From birth, he already had one more Soul Skill than others!

Though he did not possess Innate Full Soul Power, he was better than those who did!

With the Heaven Shading Method supporting him, he was invincible among those of the same rank!

"System, open my personal status panel!"

"Host: Ye Xingchen!"

"Physique: Minor Achievement Chaos Body!"

"Sky Covering Realm: Initial Bitter Sea Shore!"

"Douluo Realm: Level 29 Soul Grandmaster!"

"Martial Soul: Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul!"

"Storage: 100,000 Spiritual Qi! Martial Soul Lottery!"

"Soul Skills: Crashing Waves! Ten Thousand Ton Gravity Domain! Tiger Roars in the Forest!"

Level 29 Soul Grandmaster!

Ye Xingchen was ecstatic. With the boost from the Soul Ring, this leveling speed felt incredible!

If he arrived at Shrek Academy like this, Tang San probably would not be able to withstand a single move from him!

With the defense of the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul, would he fear hidden weapons?

With the Heaven Shading Method, would he fear the Tang Sect cultivation method?

Ye Xingchen, clad in white, slowly rose to his feet. An invincible aura gradually rose from his body!

"System, if I draw another Martial Soul from this Martial Soul Lottery, will I become a mutated Dual Martial Souls user?"

"According to the System's calculations, there is no such thing as a mutated Martial Soul for the host. There is no upper limit to your Soul Rings!"

Hearing this, Ye Xingchen froze where he stood.

If his Martial Souls had no limit, didn't that mean he could possibly have three, four, or even ten Martial Souls?

He thought of the various Sky Covering Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons within the Martial Soul Lottery System. If all those items became his Martial Souls, just how powerful would he become?

Unable to guess the answer, he sighed. Just as he was about to see what he could draw from this Martial Soul Lottery, a shout suddenly came from outside.

"Brother Ye, why aren't you done yet?"

Hearing Rongrong's voice, Ye Xingchen shook his head slightly. He then dispersed the curtain of water, revealing himself at once.

Ning Rongrong, anxiously waiting on the shore, could not help but smile when she saw that Ye Xingchen was safe and sound.

With a slight push from her heels, she immediately rode the waves forward.

"You scared me to death! I thought something had gone wrong while you were absorbing the Soul Ring. It's been nearly half a day already!"

Hearing Ning Rongrong say this, Ye Xingchen looked up at the Sky Dome. The eastern horizon was already beginning to brighten.

He shook his head slightly and said with a smile,

"It succeeded, it just took a little longer. This time went pretty well!"

Ning Rongrong nodded smugly, then asked,

"What level are you now? Have you reached the Soul Grandmaster level?"

Ye Xingchen smiled indifferently and casually waved his hand. A wave of Soul Power belonging to a level 29 Soul Grandmaster slowly spread from his body.

When Ning Rongrong saw this, her face immediately fell.

"This really is enough to make people furious with envy! How long has it been? You've already reached level 29 Soul Grandmaster. Your leveling speed is way too fast!"

"But it's pretty normal for you. After all, even as a level 18 Soul Master, you could rival a Soul Elder. It really makes people jealous!"

Ye Xingchen smiled slightly. Looking at Ning Rongrong before him, he scratched his head and teased,

"Don't worry. The stronger I become, the safer you'll be. From now on, no one in this world will be able to hurt you!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's pretty face immediately turned bright red. Just as she was about to leave this stretch of water with Ye Xingchen

A white figure in the waters behind them suddenly caught her attention.

Looking closely, it was actually a miniature Little White Tiger.

"Look, this Little White Tiger didn't die! It's so much smaller than before too. It's so cute!"

"It's all fluffy, I really like it! Can I adopt it?"

Ye Xingchen was slightly puzzled. After a brief pause, he turned to look behind him.

He discovered that the so-called miniature Little White Tiger was the Mutant White Tiger whose Divine Beast Soul Ring he had just stripped away.

It was floating weakly on the water's surface, barely alive. Its life force was continuously fading, and if no one paid attention to it, it would probably become a corpse before long.

"If you like it, take it in. I quite like White Tigers too!"

"White and covered in so much water—it really is rather adorable!"

She liked White Tigers?

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong nodded slightly. With a casual wave of her hand, a stream of Soul Power immediately wrapped around the Little White Tiger.

After it arrived in her arms, she smiled and said,

"It looks pretty well-behaved, and it's even female. No wonder it was so fierce!"

"From today onward, I'll name you Xiao Bai. Follow us from now on. We just happen to be short a mount!"

The dying Mutant White Tiger let out a low roar upon hearing this. Unfortunately, all her Soul Power had disappeared, and she was no different from an ordinary tiger now.

For a moment, she felt that all the dignity of a tiger king had been utterly lost.

"Did you hear me? I'm talking to you, and you still dare roar at me?"

While she was distracted, the Mutant White Tiger suddenly felt a sharp pain in her little head. Looking at Ning Rongrong before her, she abruptly felt that this woman was terrifying.

Trembling, she nodded, then quietly lay down in Ning Rongrong's arms in an ingratiating manner.

"See? It understands human nature quite well. If you don't give it a little beating, it won't know to respect its master!"

Ning Rongrong smiled smugly after taming the Mutant White Tiger.

"Let's go. Our little rabbit should be burnt by now, right?"

Hearing Ye Xingchen say this, Ning Rongrong immediately came to her senses. She grabbed Ye Xingchen's arm and headed toward the Shore.

Watching the two approach across the waves, Zhu Zhuqing, who stood on the Shore, thought they looked like an immortal couple, incomparably beautiful.

She could not help but feel a little envious, while a trace of bitterness rose in her heart.

There really was such a captivating man in this world. Unfortunately, someone had gotten to him first. Now that she had taken a liking to him, all she could do was stand to the side and envy them.

"What a coincidence. I didn't expect to run into you again. You're soaked through. Come with us and warm yourself by the fire over there!"

Zhu Zhuqing, who had been lost in thought, immediately blushed upon hearing Ye Xingchen's words.

Lowering her head, she discovered that her black clothes, which tightly wrapped around her body, were completely soaked, fully revealing her graceful figure.

Feeling somewhat shy, she nodded and said, "I misunderstood you earlier. I'm really sorry!"

Ning Rongrong, holding Xiao Bai, asked upon hearing this,

"You two know each other?"

Ye Xingchen nodded indifferently, then recounted everything that had happened in the forest earlier.

"So that's what happened. It seems we really are fated. We're heading to Shrek Academy. Where are you going? This forest is too dangerous, so let us protect you as we leave!"

Ning Rongrong smiled and nodded slightly, then looked at Zhu Zhuqing and asked.

Shrek Academy?

Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat surprised by Ning Rongrong's words, and a hint of delight appeared on her face.

She glanced at the two of them, then said with a smile,

"I'm going to Shrek Academy too. It seems we really are fated, or we wouldn't have met so many times!"

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong's face lit up with delight.

She placed Xiao Bai in Ye Xingchen's arms, then turned around and grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's arm with a smile, saying:
