Zhang Lexuan stood up, her gaze fixed firmly on Xue Yuheng.

"Prince Gan, with Wu Ming as my witness, I am willing to try."

She was the team leader, the benchmark for this generation of Shrek Academy.

She could not stop here.

Wu Ming had originally only been a Spirit King, not particularly outstanding among the Seven Monsters of this generation, but her martial soul had evolved, propelling her all the way to a high-level Spirit Emperor.

It looked like she was about to surpass her.

Zhang Lexuan being the first to volunteer was somewhat beyond Xue Yuheng's expectations; he took a prepared document from his storage ring and handed it over.

"You're too kind, Senior Sister. This list contains all the rare treasures needed for the evolution of your Moon martial soul.

Once you have gathered the materials, you can come to me at any time to hold the martial soul promotion ceremony."

Zhang Lexuan took the document and glanced down at it.

Although the materials listed were all extremely rare, they were not priceless, one-of-a-kind items.

The savings Zhang Lexuan had accumulated over the years were more than enough to acquire them.

The other four women also responded one after another, receiving their own material lists. However, they intended to observe the situation with the senior sister first before making their own decisions.

A martial soul affected a spirit master's entire life, so one had to be cautious.

That afternoon, Zhang Lexuan went alone to the largest royal auction house in Tiantou City.

Relying on the reputation of Shrek Academy and the ample Gold Soul Coins in her possession, she managed to collect all the materials on the list in just two hours.

The next morning, Zhang Lexuan carried the storage ring filled with the rare treasures and knocked on Wu Ming's door.

Wu Ming had been taken to the night market by Baise, so only Xue Yuheng was in the room, playing a video game.

"Are the materials all here?" Xue Yuheng took the storage ring, scanned it with his spiritual power, and nodded.

"Thank you for your trouble, Your Highness." Zhang Lexuan's voice carried a hint of nervousness.

"No need to be so formal. I'll be going to Shrek in the future, so just call me Junior Brother."

Xue Yuheng didn't say much more, leading her into the quiet room within the suite.

He arranged all the rare treasures on the floor according to their positions. In his sea of consciousness, the Wordless Heavenly Book slowly opened, and the page belonging to Zhang Lexuan had already completed all its deductions.

A majestic Power of Creation slowly surged from his body, enveloping all the materials placed on the ground.

The rare treasures melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, transforming into streams of pure origin of light and life force that poured into Zhang Lexuan's body.

"Junior Brother... I feel so uncomfortable..."

Zhang Lexuan let out a muffled groan, as if ants were crawling inside her body; she immediately sat cross-legged and activated her Moon martial soul.

One hour... two hours, until four hours had passed.

A cold, bright moon phantom slowly rose behind Zhang Lexuan, and silver radiance bathed the entire quiet room.

At that moment, the Power of Creation surged into the origin of her martial soul, and the cold, bright moon erupted with unprecedented brilliance.

Within the silver radiance, tiny stars slowly emerged, revolving around the bright moon.

The moonlight and starlight intertwined, and the originally cold light instantly became dazzling; it was light in its purest form, as if it could dispel all the darkness in the world.

The authority of the Ultimate Light awakened completely at this moment.

Zhang Lexuan could clearly feel her martial soul undergoing a earth-shattering transformation.

The Moon martial soul, which had already reached its limit, seemed to break free from all shackles, climbing frantically toward a higher level.

A quasi-god-level martial soul, Star Moon!

Her spirit power also surged wildly at this moment; the bottleneck at level sixty-eight was instantly shattered, breaking through to level seventy!

In the corridor outside the quiet room, the other six Shrek Monsters waited anxiously, and even Wu Ming felt a bit nervous.

Elder Song stood in the shadows, feeling the terrifying pressure of the quasi-god-level martial soul emanating from the room, along with that aura of the pure law of light, and a flash of undisguised brilliance erupted in her eyes.

She had been stuck at the threshold of level ninety-seven for thirty years.

If... if her own martial soul could also complete such an evolution?

This kid... must not be allowed to get away.

The door to the quiet room finally pushed open.

Zhang Lexuan walked out slowly.

Her figure was fuller, her skin looked delicate enough to break at a touch, and her temperament had changed completely, as if she were coated in a layer of maternal radiance, making Zhang Lexuan appear more mature.

"Senior Sister!"

"How is it? Did you succeed?"

The remaining four female students immediately surrounded her, asking questions all at once.

Chu Qingtian also hurried over, stretching his neck with a curious look in his eyes.

Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly, her voice filled with excitement:

"It was a success. There were no abnormalities at all; the martial soul completed its evolution, and my soul power broke through to level seventy as a result."

As these words fell, the women were left dumbstruck.

Not only did the martial soul evolve, but it even brought a breakthrough of the bottleneck along with it?

This was no flawed ancient technique; this was a divine art capable of defying the heavens and changing one's fate!

Mu Yue, Su Tong, Hua Yao, and Baise exchanged glances, the hesitation in their eyes vanishing completely, replaced only by a burning desire.

"Are there really no side effects? Is it very painful when the martial soul evolves?" Hua Yao asked in a low voice, her tone full of trepidation.

She was terrified of pain, which was the very reason she had never sought a boyfriend.

Zhang Lexuan shook her head, her gaze landing on Xue Yuheng with a hint of gratitude, "Apart from some soreness and numbness at the very beginning, there was no discomfort at all."

Chu Qingtian could no longer hold back; he pushed through the crowd to stand before Xue Yuheng, feigning composure as he spoke:

"What about me? Can my Electric Mad Leopard martial soul evolve too?"

Xue Yuheng raised his eyes to scan him, his tone indifferent.

"No. My family's ancient technique is only effective for women; it has no effect on men."

"You're lying!" Chu Qingtian bristled instantly, pointing at Xue Yuheng as he shouted, "What kind of ancient technique only works on women?

I think you're doing this on purpose! If you don't want to help me, just say so, don't use such a lame excuse!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Pavilion Elder Song nearby, his tone carrying a hint of grievance.

"Pavilion Elder Song, look at him! He clearly has such a great opportunity, yet he's hiding it away.

This is blatant discrimination against male soul masters!"

Pavilion Elder Song ignored Chu Qingtian's clamoring, her gaze fixed solemnly on Xue Yuheng.

"Prince Gan, is this true? Is this ancient technique truly completely ineffective for men?"

"Absolutely true." Xue Yuheng nodded, "This is a limitation of the ancient technique, and there is nothing I can do to change it. In the experiments conducted by our Douling Royal Family, there has never been a precedent for this technique succeeding on a male soul master."

Pavilion Elder Song's brows furrowed slightly.

If it were only effective for women, the value of this ancient technique would indeed be greatly diminished.

Within Shrek Academy, the number of male soul masters was far greater than that of female soul masters.

Then again, if this method were useful for male soul masters, the Douling Empire would have already conquered the continent.

Just as she was secretly lamenting, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck her mind.

Wait.

Am I not a woman as well?

Her expression became alluring, and a raging fire ignited in the depths of her eyes.

The way Song Wanying looked at Xue Yuheng changed completely.

"Pavilion Elder Song?" Chu Qingtian called out, seeing that she had been silent for a long time.

Pavilion Elder Song snapped back to reality and glanced at him indifferently.

"Since it is a limitation of the ancient technique, then so be it. It cannot be forced."

Chu Qingtian froze on the spot, his face full of disbelief.

Pavilion Elder Song wasn't going to speak up for him?

Are you still the same Pavilion Elder Song who was so fiercely protective of her own that I remember?

Before Chu Qingtian could speak again, the four women—Mu Yue and the others—had already surrounded Xue Yuheng once more.

"Prince Gan, can you help me first next? My materials have been prepared for a long time!"

"Why should you be first? I've got a bigger chest, I go first!"

"Your Highness, I'm the youngest, could you please help me first?"

The four women chattered away, making Xue Yuheng's head spin.

Xue Yuheng raised a hand to press down, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

"Stop arguing. One by one; the next round of the elimination tournament doesn't start for another three days, so there is enough time. Prepare yourselves in order, and I will help two people evolve each day. It won't delay your training."

Only then did everyone quiet down, nodding in agreement.

Pavilion Elder Song spoke up at this moment: "Lexuan has just broken through to level seventy, and this is the perfect time to hunt for her seventh soul ring. I will take her to the Star Dou Forest for a trip and strive to return within a week. With the strength of a Soul Saint, we will have an extra trump card for this tournament."

Zhang Lexuan immediately replied: "Yes, Pavilion Elder Song."

Pavilion Elder Song looked deeply at Xue Yuheng, her tone solemn:

"Prince Gan, I have some matters to attend to here. Once I return with Lexuan, I will seek you out for a detailed discussion."

"That is easily done." Xue Yuheng nodded slightly.

After saying this, Elder Song took Zhang Lexuan and turned to leave the hotel.

Chu Qingtian watched everyone crowding around Xue Yuheng to fuss over him, then looked at his own lonely figure, his heart turning sour with envy.

He gritted his teeth, let out a cold snort, turned around, and slammed the door as he left.

Lunch was eaten in a luxurious private room on the top floor of the hotel.

Xue Yuheng sat in the seat of honor, with Mu Yue, Su Tong, Hua Yao, Baise, and Wu Ming seated around him.

The five women took turns with their chopsticks, constantly piling food into Xue Yuheng's bowl.

One moment they were asking what he liked to eat, and the next they were asking what he needed to pay attention to during his evolution, their sweet, melodic voices filling the air.

Xue Yuheng shoveled rice into his mouth happily, unable to help but complain to himself.

Having transmigrated into this world for so many years, this was the first time he had been this "unprofessional."

In just the time it took to eat lunch, he already felt a faint potential to become a decadent ruler.

After the meal, everyone sat on the sofa to rest.

Mu Yue had drunk two glasses of fruit wine at lunch, leaving her cheeks flushed and her eyes somewhat hazy.

She stood up to pour a glass of water, but suddenly stumbled, let out a startled cry, and fell straight toward Xue Yuheng.

Xue Yuheng instinctively reached out to steady her.

Mu Yue leaned her entire body into Xue Yuheng's embrace, her warm breath brushing against his neck, her voice soft and sweet, tinged with the scent of alcohol.

"Junior... Sister feels so uncomfortable..."
