Putting on a Show and Slapping Faces

The Artificial Wang Chun'er Project was now activated!

Di Tian had not acted on a whim. Through simulation, he had meticulously formulated the plan, preparing everything before making his move!

As it happened, the Heavenly Dragon Horse had little lifespan left due to its bloodline. It also possessed the Radiant Sacred Dragon bloodline, had a gentle temperament, and was a female soul beast—far less troublesome than changing the Golden Hawksbill Turtle's sex.

No matter what, no matter how disappointing the Auspicious Beast was, he had to protect her!

Di Tian tore open space and decisively departed, eager to behold the Daughter of the God King's beauty.

At this moment, Shrek Academy!

Huo Gua had returned to the academy, ready for a display of swagger and face-slapping!

"I'll wait for you to kneel and admit your guilt!"

Before the break, although Huo Gua had given it his all and led his team to first place in the Freshman Assessment, his name alone had been absent from the list of ten Core Disciples.

Thus, Huo Gua had set off with unwilling steps, following the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm headlong into the Far North. He successfully fused with the Ice Empress and gained his second martial soul, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion!

When he returned for the advancement assessment held in the Colosseum, he directly revealed two Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings!

Though the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings were fake, the Million-Year Spirit Ring was real!

Watching his "dear older brother," Dai Huabin, spit blood as he said, "I was wrong," then kneel and heavily slam his head against the ground before leaving in fury—

Huo Yuhao could not help clenching his fists. Mom, did you hear that? I will definitely seek justice for you!

Meanwhile, Du Weilun, the director of the Spirit Department, nearly blacked out with regret!

Huo Gua had displayed his second martial soul in the morning. That afternoon, a Sea God Pavilion meeting had been convened, and he had been invited into the Spirit Department as a Core Disciple. It truly felt incredible!

Of course, Huo Gua wanted to feel even better—for example, by forcefully refusing and slapping their faces again—but he could only think about it. After all, the terms for signing on as a Core Disciple this time were simply too tempting.

Free resources were not to be refused.

As for the status of Core Disciple, it had been owed to him from the beginning!

Huo Yuhao accepted it calmly.

That evening, in Shrek City, the Treasure Appreciation Fair began!

As the most prosperous city on the Douluo Continent, Shrek City remained bustling even at dusk. With the Continent's Number One Academy located there, merchants and pedestrians came and went without end.

Huo Yuhao curiously looked around as he passed through the broad city gates and arrived at the Treasure Pavilion.

Wang Dong pulled Huo Yuhao all the way into a massive building four stories tall and over twenty meters high. Its entire exterior was resplendent in gold and jade, like a giant treasure basin!

In particular, the young women welcoming guests were all fair-skinned, beautiful, and long-legged, leaving Huo Yuhao wide-eyed. Naturally, Wang Dong was furious.

"Keep staring, and you'll get a stye!"

Huo Yuhao was helpless. Something was wrong with his good brother! Everyone loved beauty. What man did not like beautiful women? Was it not perfectly normal to take a couple of glances?

Unfortunately, Wang Dong was utterly unreasonable. She forcibly dragged him straight to the second floor and warned, "You're not allowed to learn bad habits, or this Young Master won't let you off!"

The treasures on the second floor were even more precious, and every item had a label.

After making a round, the two were quickly drawn to a spirit bone that emitted a faint golden-red glow. Beneath the illumination of an enormous crystal cover, it gleamed brilliantly.

"Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone?"

Wang Dong's face filled with anticipation. "I want it!"

Huo Yuhao was speechless. "We don't have the money!"

Just then, Xiao Hong, the attendant responsible for guiding guests, hurried over and said, "Hello, sir. You have been promoted to a top-tier guest of our Treasure Pavilion. Your privileges entitle you to select and take away any one item from the Treasure Appreciation Fair each year, free of charge."

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were instantly stunned. What was this?

Xiao Hong then took out two cards. She handed a red one to Huo Yuhao, while she was just about to give a purple one to Wang Dong when she seemed to receive some sudden instruction and promptly withdrew it.

"Mr. Wang, you were originally to receive a Purple Card that allowed you to purchase on credit up to one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins. However, because of your special identity, you need only verify it to receive the same treatment as Mr. Huo."

Huo Yuhao was even more shocked. What on earth was going on?

Only Wang Dong suddenly thought of something. Her identity?

Could it be that her hidden identity as the Clear Sky Sect's sect master had been discovered?

In truth, buying this spirit bone with her own wealth would not have been a problem. She simply had not brought that many Gold Soul Coins with her when she came out.

"This way, please!"

Huo Yuhao tugged at Wang Dong, but she reassured him, "It's fine. This is Shrek City—how could there possibly be a problem?"

"Besides, this Young Master is very strong. I'll go see what's going on."

Xiao Hong also took away the spirit bone Wang Dong had chosen. "Mr. Wang, this is the spirit bone you selected. If you want it, you can register to take it away while you're there. Otherwise, if someone else gets it first, things may become troublesome."

Wang Dong nodded. She had picked up a spirit bone for free—she had struck it rich, all right?

Otherwise, she would have had to use Huo Yuhao's privilege to buy it for her. Would she not then owe him a favor? But now, it seemed that would not be necessary.

"Wang...?"

At that moment, a gentle voice entered Huo Yuhao's ears. "There is no need to worry. This place is an academy property. The top-tier card you received was the academy's decision. However, you must keep this matter confidential and not reveal it to anyone."

Upon hearing that it was an academy property, Huo Yuhao immediately relaxed.

On the other side, Wang Dong followed Xiao Hong to a private room upstairs.

Xiao Hong opened the door and made an inviting gesture. "Mr. Wang, please enter!"

Wang Dong walked in and curiously looked around. When she reached a folding screen and turned back, she discovered that Xiao Hong had already vanished.

"Where? Where did she go?"

The next instant, a hand silently reached out and touched her shoulder.

"Who?"

Before she could finish speaking, Wang Dong felt a powerful force send her into sleep, and she collapsed heavily to the floor.

"She doesn't look like much!"

The one who had extended his claw was naturally Di Tian!

As the Lord of Soul Beasts, he was the foremost among the Ten Great Beast Kings.

Entering Shrek Academy might have been somewhat difficult, but entering Shrek City was no problem at all.

That was the pride of his extraordinary spatial talent.

Only then did his gaze fall upon the unconscious Wang Dong. "This is the Daughter of the God King?"

Di Tian frowned slightly. He had just conducted a rather bold and cursory examination. Naturally, he did not dare rashly enter her Sea of Consciousness, considering her title as the Daughter of the God King.

But?

There seemed to be something wrong with her body!

She did not resemble someone nurtured by Immortal Spiritual Qi in the God Realm at all. Instead, she seemed more like a native of the Douluo Continent.

Di Tian shook his head. He did not dare act carelessly regarding the Daughter of the God King.

His target was only Huo Yuhao.

Thus, with a wave of his hand, he imprinted Wang Dong's facial features. Then he tore open space and vanished without a trace!
