Unknowingly, a month had passed.
Ye Lengleng's joining undoubtedly made the Shrek's Seven Devils' cultivation enthusiasm much stronger.
Especially Oscar and Ma Hongjun.
The two were originally single dogs. Seeing the beautiful Ye Lengleng, how could they resist?
Naturally, they had to perform well and cultivate seriously to attract Ye Lengleng's attention.
"Heh heh, Brother Chen finally has a sister now. I can't pursue Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, so I can finally pursue Ye Lengleng now?" Ma Hongjun said with a sly grin.
"After all, Ye Lengleng is Brother Chen's biological sister. Brother Chen would never have any other relationship with his own sister." Ma Hongjun already envisioned a beautiful future.
"You're talking nonsense. Ye Lengleng is clearly mine. I'm so handsome, she'll definitely fall for me. How could she like a shut-in like you?" Oscar scoffed.
Just as the two were arguing, Ye Lengleng walked past them.
"Lengleng, good morning." Ma Hongjun undoubtedly displayed his sycophantic skills.
"Lengleng, welcome to Shrek Academy." Oscar was not as lewd. He pretended to be upright and show off in front of Ye Lengleng.
"Mhm, hello." Ye Lengleng nodded and gave a faint smile, leaving behind a stunning visage that melted Oscar and Ma Hongjun's hearts.
Since joining Shrek Academy, Ye Lengleng had gradually become more cheerful. These were all her friends, and she also had her brother.
"Lengleng, where are you going? You're holding lunch. We haven't eaten yet, actually." Oscar said with a smile.
Ye Lengleng smiled faintly, "My brother is still cultivating. I'm bringing him food."
Oscar: "..."
Ma Hongjun: "..."
Comparing people was infuriating.
Look at someone else's sister, always so good to Ye Chen.
The key was that when Ye Chen went out to cultivate, Rongrong used to bring him food, but now Ye Lengleng was bringing him delicious meals.
Moreover, Ye Lengleng's cooking skills were truly excellent, even better than Ning Rongrong's. After all, Rongrong was a young lady, a little demon. Her cooking, along with Xiao Wu's and Zhu Zhuqing's, wasn't as good.
"What's wrong?" Ye Lengleng turned back and asked.
Oscar chuckled, "Lengleng, you see how hard we cultivate. Can you also cook for us someday?"
Ma Hongjun nodded, "Yes, yes, yes. Lengleng, you're so kind. We're hungry too. Look how fat I am, I eat a lot."
Before Ye Lengleng could speak, Xiao Wu walked out, hands on her hips, looking at Ma Hongjun and Oscar. "How about I cook for you?"
Seeing Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun shivered and took two steps back. Who could withstand Xiao Wu's Eight Section Fall?
Oscar subconsciously agreed, "Okay."
Xiao Wu snorted, "Oscar, you dare to agree? Are you asking for a beating? You two guys only know how to bully Leng Leng. Leng Leng, let's go, we're ignoring them."
Ye Lengleng smiled shyly, glanced at the two with an apologetic look, and left with Xiao Wu.
Clearly, cooking for her own brother was better than cooking for others.
"Leng Leng's figure is really good. I must win her over." Ma Hongjun had already made up his mind.
"Forget it, Fatty. I couldn't even chase her, how could you?" Oscar shook his head. The path to chasing girls was too long.
In the place of cultivation, on a tree.
Ning Rongrong was leaning on Ye Chen's shoulder, her snow-white legs dangling gently. Her skin was still as good as ever, better than any other girl's.
"Rongrong, you said before that you didn't want me to have other sisters, but I still do. Aren't you angry?" Ye Chen looked at Rongrong and asked.
"Brother, that's your biological sister. We're different," Ning Rongrong said softly.
"How are we different?" Ye Chen asked again.
Ning Rongrong linked her arm with Ye Chen's. "Hehe, I don't have any blood relation with you, and I'm happy about it. What kind of relationship do we have now?"
Ye Chen shook his head. "Aren't you always my sister? Is there any other relationship?"
Ning Rongrong's cheeks flushed, and she lightly imprinted her lips on Ye Chen's. "Do you understand now?"
Looking at Ning Rongrong like this, it was the first time she had actively kissed Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's heart felt like it was melting. Although he was a bit of wood, he could still distinguish some things.
Ning Rongrong and Ye Lengleng were ultimately different.
Ye Chen truly regarded Ye Lengleng as a biological sister and would take care of her. As for Ning Rongrong, there was more longing for separation and the beauty of being together.
Ye Chen looked at the girl before him, slowly leaned closer, and felt the faint fragrance from Rongrong. With her Glazed Body, her appearance was very high, even on the same level as Qian Renxue.
Rongrong had grown up and become even more beautiful, with a unique temperament, different from others. She could be sweet or cool, but in front of Ye Chen, she was always a sweet young girl.
Ye Chen gently embraced Ning Rongrong's slender waist and pulled her into his arms, then slowly leaned closer.
Ning Rongrong's pretty face turned red, and she closed her eyes.
Then...
Ye Lengleng and Xiao Wu arrived, along with Tang San.
"Brother, time to eat." Ye Lengleng said softly. When she saw Ye Chen and Ning Rongrong together, she felt her face flush and was happy for Ye Chen.
"Brother Chen, Rongrong, what are you two doing here? Don't tell me..." Xiao Wu smiled, looking at the two on the tree.
"Cough, cough..." Tang San said, glancing at Xiao Wu. He also often went on dates alone with Xiao Wu.
"Hmph, it's nothing." Ning Rongrong felt guilty. She was so embarrassed.
"It's nothing," Ye Chen said, putting his arm around Ning Rongrong's slender waist and descending steadily from the tree.
Shrek's Seven Devils followed the Grandmaster's advice, not to cultivate desperately all the time. Alternating work and rest was the best way to cultivate.
"Brother Chen, Teacher called us and told us to get ready to head to Sunset Forest to hunt Spirit Beasts and find suitable Spirit Rings," Tang San said with a slight smile.
"All of us Shrek's Seven Devils have reached Level Forty, except for Xiao Wu who hasn't reached Level Forty yet," Tang San said.
"Brother, you won't dislike me for only being Level Thirty-Eight, will you?" Xiao Wu looked crestfallen, gazing at the Lovesick Heartbreak Red in her hand.
"How could I, Xiao Wu?" Tang San shook his head, looking at Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu's Strength had already improved quickly, but it was still normal that she couldn't catch up to everyone.
Ye Chen also didn't consume the immortal herbs. Besides hiding his Strength, he also needed to make full preparations for the great battle with Qian Renxue.
Before long, Shrek's Seven Devils gathered together again.
Dai Mubai, Oscar, Tang San, Ye Chen, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing. The eight of them were reunited.
Shrek's Seven Devils only had eight members. Although Ye Lengleng had joined Shrek Academy, her Spirit Power had clearly not reached Level Forty yet. However, she wasn't part of Shrek's Seven Devils.
After such a long time, there was also Tailong in the academy, who didn't come this time. Tailong and Tang San had also gone from love rivals to ordinary friends.
Of course, Tailong wouldn't try to pursue Xiao Wu.
Almost every student in Shrek knew that Tang San's eyes were only for Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu's heart was only for Tang San.
Although Xiao Wu and Ye Chen had a good relationship, she only saw him as a brother. Xiao Wu had also blocked other girls who tried to get close to Tang San.
Tang San knew this and didn't say anything.
The two of them hadn't officially become a couple yet, but everyone already treated them as a couple. In reality, Tang San and Xiao Wu were still very pure, and nothing had happened between them.
It was the same for Ye Chen and Ning Rongrong. They cultivated in the academy every day, so who wouldn't think they were a couple?
In fact, Ye Chen and Ning Rongrong had never confessed their feelings to each other.
Of course, no one pursued Zhu Zhuqing. Zhu Zhuqing was extremely beautiful but rarely paid attention to men. She spent most of her time cultivating alone.
The only man Zhu Zhuqing would seek out was Ye Chen.
Since Ye Lengleng joined, Shrek Academy had gained a bit more vitality. After all, Ye Lengleng was a great Beauty, and it was impossible for her to be with Ye Chen or Tang San.
Oscar looked at Tang San and chuckled, "Third Brother, you and Xiao Wu aren't already together, are you?"
Tang San glanced at Oscar, "Xiao Wu and I are just siblings."
Xiao Wu also nodded.
Oscar smirked, putting on an "I understand" expression, "Mm, just siblings, we all get it."
Everyone looked at Tang San and chuckled. Tang San and Xiao Wu's clinginess was even more pronounced than Ye Chen and Ning Rongrong's.
Tang San couldn't help but curse, "You guys don't understand shit."
After he said that, everyone burst into laughter. Even Zhu Zhuqing's lips curved upwards slightly. This was the first time Tang San had ever cursed, and Xiao Wu's face turned into a cute red apple.
"What are you guys doing?" Flender walked over, looking at the Shrek's Seven Devils, and said with annoyance.
The Shrek's Seven Devils quickly straightened their backs, ready to depart for Sunset Forest.
Flender looked at everyone, "Our destination this time is Sunset Forest. Most of you have reached Level Forty, so obtaining a spirit ring is crucial. This time, I, Xiao Gang, Zhao Wuji, and Er Long will accompany you. Your fourth spirit ring is exceptionally important; it will determine your final results in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."
"In the tournament, most opponents will be Soul Elders and Soul Ancestors, but there's a possibility of encountering Spirit Kings. To prepare for this tournament, hunting spirit beasts in Sunset Forest will be up to you eight. The four of us will not intervene, nor will we protect you."
"So, remember, even if you face a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beast, we might not intervene in this tournament. You eight will fight together. A Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beast is equivalent to the Strength of a Spirit King. In the tournament, you absolutely might encounter opponents at the Spirit King level. This battle will be a comprehensive training for you," Flender said.
"Are you all ready? If you are, then let's depart now." Flender waved his hand.
Flender and the other three walked at the very front, chatting and laughing as if they were out for a picnic.
The Shrek's Seven Devils, however, gathered together.
Of course, Dai Mubai had already obtained his fourth spirit ring and could use his Fourth Spirit Ability, White Tiger Meteor Rain.
Dai Mubai said, "Most spirit beasts in Sunset Forest are under ten thousand years old. Absorbing a fourth spirit ring around four to five thousand years is sufficient. Absorbing one over five thousand years will be extremely painful. This battle, let Little Chen and Little San take command."
As the leader of Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai had always cared more about everyone and would always stand at the forefront, no matter the situation.
Tang San looked at Ye Chen, "Brother Chen, I have Purple Demon Eye and can be responsible for relaying information. Please take charge of the command."
After all, everyone's trust in Ye Chen had long surpassed everything else.
With Ye Chen around, everyone felt at ease.
Ye Chen nodded, "For this spirit beast hunt, I will find suitable spirit beasts for everyone. Before we encounter a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beast, I will not act. My main role this time is to protect everyone. For the actual combat, Little San will be responsible for controlling the spirit beast first, followed by a collective attack from everyone."
"Xiao Ao, prepare Flying Mushroom Sausages for us, one for each person, in case of any unforeseen circumstances. Rongrong, when needed, activate the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda to assist everyone. Little San, Xiao Wu, and Mubai will be responsible for the attack. Zhuqing will be in charge of reconnaissance. Fatty, be ready for long-range attacks at any time to protect everyone in case of unforeseen circumstances," Ye Chen instructed everyone.
Ye Chen knew that facing spirit beasts of five to six thousand years, everyone would have the Strength to fight.
Only when facing a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beast would he feel pressure, and Ye Chen would only act against Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beasts.
Although he hadn't consumed any immortal herbs, Ye Chen's strength was still at level forty-six, above everyone else.
Also, Ye Chen still hadn't used his Fourth Spirit Ability.
Ye Chen's Fourth Spirit Ring was obtained by hunting a twenty thousand year Spirit Beast, but this spirit ability had always been kept well by Ye Chen.
"Brother, when will you use your Fourth Spirit Ability? Even we haven't seen it," Zhu Zhuqing said, looking at Ye Chen.
"Yeah, the Fourth Spirit Ability, Little Chen's Fourth Spirit Ability, I haven't seen it either. He already had his Fourth Spirit Ring, and none of us knew about his Fourth Spirit Ability," Dai Mubai laughed.
"My Fourth Spirit Ability is quite powerful, and it consumes a lot of spirit power, so I don't usually use it. If there's a chance in the future, you'll all see it," Ye Chen smiled slightly. He had long since cultivated his Fourth Spirit Ability to perfection.
While cultivating near the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye, Ye Chen continuously tempered his spirit power. It was precisely during that time that the power of his Fourth Spirit Ability also greatly increased.
"Rongrong, have you seen Brother Chen's Fourth Spirit Ability?" Xiao Wu looked at Ning Rongrong curiously.
Ning Rongrong looked at Xiao Wu with innocent eyes and shook her head. "I haven't seen it either. Last time, my brother didn't even use his Fourth Spirit Ability when he fought Grandpa Sword."
She also really wanted to see Ye Chen's Fourth Spirit Ability, but she had never had the chance.
"Alright, this time is mainly for your training. The cooperation of you seven people is crucial."
"Only when you seven can cooperate perfectly, combined with me, will we, the Shrek's Seven Devils, be invincible in team battles."
Ye Chen spoke with great confidence.
He was also looking forward to seeing how much everyone's strength would transform after obtaining spirit rings in the Sunset Forest this time!
