Suotuo City

Although they were technically taking classes at the academy, Yu Xiaogang taught them everything. The four of them had never once set foot in a proper classroom, and the academy turned a blind eye to it since they were all geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power.

Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, five years had passed, and the four of them had graduated from the junior Soul Master Academy. As soon as they graduated, countless intermediate and even advanced Soul Master Academies extended invitations to them.

Tang Yu in particular was a cheat. He spent all his time playing around, yet after six years, he had somehow reached level forty-nine! He was twenty levels ahead of Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Tang Xiaomi.

On top of that, all of Tang Yu's Soul Rings were purple. He would show off from time to time, and the sentence he said most often was, "If only there were Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts with lightning attributes in the Soul Hunting Forest. Then my Soul Rings would definitely be black."

Tang Yu wasn't the only cheat; Tang Xiaomi and Xiao Wu were, too. They were both Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, so they only needed to cultivate a little. Of the four, Tang San had it the worst. He had to cultivate every day, and he had to forge metal, too. His days were packed from start to finish.

The four of them didn't accept any of the invitations from the Soul Master Academies, because Yu Xiaogang said he was taking them to an academy called Shrek Academy.

Tang San and Tang Yu naturally listened to Yu Xiaogang. Xiao Wu wanted to stay with Tang San, and Tang Xiaomi wanted to stay with Tang Yu, so the five of them left Nuoding City for Suotuo City.

Tang Yu rented a carriage, and after two days on the road, the five of them arrived in Suotuo City. Once they got there, Yu Xiaogang looked at the four and said, "Registration doesn't start for another two days. Go find yourselves somewhere to stay. I have a few things to take care of."

With that, Yu Xiaogang left. The four exchanged glances, then went to look for somewhere to stay. They weren't worried that Yu Xiaogang wouldn't be able to find them, because Luo Sanpao—no, Blue Lightning Holy Dragon had an excellent nose and could find them in no time.

Soon, the four arrived at the hotel where Dai Mubai had appeared in the original story. Since they had arrived a day earlier than in the original story, there were exactly two rooms left, so they checked in.

Tang San immediately said he wanted to share a room with Tang Yu and have Xiao Wu and Tang Xiaomi share the other. Tang Xiaomi promptly objected, looking ready to pick a fight if he separated her from Tang Yu.

Tang Yu waved his hand with a smile. After six years, Tang Xiaomi was already his girlfriend, so he was no longer nervous around her. In fact, if he didn't cuddle up with her to sleep, he had trouble falling asleep.

Tang San gave a wry smile, then resigned himself to sharing a room with Xiao Wu.

But the four of them hadn't considered where Yu Xiaogang would sleep if he came back...

After Tang Yu and Tang Xiaomi entered their room and washed up, they fell asleep in each other's arms. Meanwhile, Tang San insisted on sleeping on the sofa, leaving Xiao Wu so angry she nearly knocked him out and dragged him onto the bed herself.

Early the next morning

After getting up, Tang Yu went to fetch some breakfast to eat with Tang Xiaomi. While the two of them were eating, they heard a commotion from the room next door.

Tang Yu kept eating as he went to the doorway to watch the show. There, he saw a man dressed in white causing a scene outside Tang San's room with two voluptuous twin sisters. The unusual thing about the man was his eyes: they were different colors. Tang Yu knew this had to be Dai Mubai.
