Douluo: My Martial Soul Is My Fiancee

"Twelve years old, huh." Su Yunqing said casually, looking clearly indifferent.

Forget it, this girl's height is on par with Xiao Nai's.

Xiao Nai suddenly spoke up: "Xiao Li, I suspect you're thinking about something inappropriate."

"No, not at all." Zheng Li shook his head; he couldn't admit to that.

Come to think of it, Zheng Li looked around; it seemed the three of them were the shortest in the entire class.

"What about you?" Su Yunqing asked back offhandedly, though since Shrek freshmen were basically eleven or twelve, she assumed Zheng Li was the same.

"I'm ten."

"Oh, ten, that's still younger than..."

Wait, ten?

"Holy crap! You're only ten?" Su Yunqing exclaimed.

Zheng Li was famous now; the entire class looked over, and even Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu beside him couldn't help but take a few extra glances.

"What's your Soul Power Level?"

If Zheng Li's soul power was high, then her own level twenty-one soul power might as well be worthless!

"I just barely reached the minimum enrollment requirement for Shrek." Zheng Li said.

Su Yunqing breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; she felt she was back in the game! In two years, by the time Zheng Li reached her age, he would probably only be a few levels higher than her—well within the acceptable range.

Some of the others nearby who heard this also lost interest in Zheng Li in that instant.

Just as Su Yunqing thought, it was within their acceptable range.

Ling Nan, on the other hand, chattered away to Zheng Li quite a bit after returning, and even took the opportunity to get to know Su Yunqing.

The two of them hit it off quite well.

A few minutes later, the bell rang, and the Class Five homeroom teacher walked into the classroom right on time; she was a woman in her thirties.

The moment she entered, she swept her gaze across the entire class, lingering for a moment on Dai Huabin and Zheng Li.

Especially Zheng Li.

Yesterday, the Dean of Academic Affairs, Du Weilun, had personally sought her out to reveal a few things about Zheng Li.

An orphan with Twin Martial Souls?

They were both sensible people; how could she not understand such an obvious implication?

Of course, observing his character was still necessary, which was also Du Weilun's intention. If his character wasn't good, it didn't mean they would give up on Zheng Li; after all, he was still young and highly malleable.

Subsequently, Shen Lan stepped onto the podium and began her self-introduction.

Afterward, she didn't ask the students to introduce themselves, but simply said a few words of encouragement before starting to lecture on theoretical knowledge.

Shen Lan was not Zhou Yi, nor was she as strict as Zhou Yi.

On the contrary, she hated strictness; her younger brother had been expelled because of Zhou Yi's severity.

It wasn't that she claimed her brother was blameless at the time; as a teacher, she naturally understood that being strict was sometimes better.

The lecture lasted the entire morning.

Zheng Li listened very attentively; after all, he had just arrived in the Douluo world and didn't understand many things.

He gained quite a lot over the morning.

As the morning classes ended, Mu Jin scanned all the students and said: "Prepare yourselves. This afternoon, I will arrange for you to engage in actual combat. Based on your performance in combat and your entrance exam scores, I will select the class monitor! Class dismissed!"

"Zheng Li, let's go, let's go eat!" As soon as Shen Lan walked out of the classroom, Ling Nan stood up, grabbed Zheng Li, and headed out.

Among those paying attention to them, some whispered, and those who knew Ling Nan was a boy had very unnatural expressions.

Suddenly, a cute girl strikes up a conversation, only for it to turn out to be a boy—no one would have a normal expression after that!

Although Zheng Li didn't care about the gossip, he was still quite helpless and asked: "Ling Nan, are you that hungry?"

"Not really, it's just that the food in the cafeteria is delicious, and I've been craving it all morning." Ling Nan said while walking, a look of longing on his face.

A gluttonous cat?

Looking at Ling Nan's expression, Zheng Li couldn't help but think.

Just after they had walked a short distance out of the classroom door, a voice rang out from behind: "Zheng Li, Ling Nan, wait for me, let's go together!"

Zheng Li was puzzled; they didn't seem to have any other acquaintances.

Turning around, he discovered it was Su Yunqing, the little girl hopping along quite energetically.

"Is she cute enough to get to you?"

"A little." Zheng Li nodded.

"Do you want to pick her up and pat her head?"

"I want to... go to hell!"

Zheng Li slapped his forehead and corrected himself.

"Meng Xiaonai! Are you being cheeky? How come I never noticed this side of you before?"

In the Sea of Consciousness, Meng Xiaonai said indifferently, "There was nothing that could threaten me before. Even if there were, they were just children, and I didn't think you would be beastly enough to go that far!"

"And now, you're a child too!"

Zheng Li was speechless.

So, what exactly are you trying to express?

"Xiaonai, are you jealous?"

"It hasn't reached that point yet," Meng Xiaonai said flatly.

So it will eventually, then. Hearing this, Zheng Li was still quite happy, but...

"Rest assured, the situation you're imagining won't happen."

"Tang San also told Oscar that he and Xiao Wu were just friends," Meng Xiaonai retorted.

Zheng Li: "..."

Wait!

"What the hell! Meng Xiaonai, didn't you say you hadn't watched Douluo? How do you know so much?"

He hadn't even thought of that himself.

Meng Xiaonai: "I saw some short videos by accident, plus the general plot you told me."

"...Fair enough."

"What are you following us for, you little shrimp?" Ling Nan looked at Su Yunqing and teased.

"Little shrimp?" Su Yunqing was slightly stunned, then said angrily, "Ling Nan, do you want to die? This lady just hasn't finished growing yet!"

She hated it when people commented on her height.

As she spoke, she extended her right hand. A dark blue light flashed from it and transformed into a large hammer that was entirely dark blue. The construction of the hammer head was quite simple: a cylinder, a cone, another cone, and another cylinder. On the cylindrical faces on both sides, there were two rings, though these rings were earthy yellow.

The handle was over a foot long and looked quite heavy.

Su Yunqing gripped the handle with one hand and swung it toward Ling Nan's left side!

Zheng Li didn't intervene. His own strength wasn't particularly high, and taking that hammer head-on would likely be rough.

He figured Ling Nan wouldn't get hit either; those who possessed feline-type Martial Souls were never lacking in agility.

Just as Zheng Li thought, Ling Nan dodged with a sidestep, and Su Yunqing forcibly stopped the hammer mid-swing!

Just as Su Yunqing was about to pursue, a gentle voice came from behind her: "What are you doing?"

The owner of the voice was a teacher around forty years old. His appearance was very ordinary, and he lacked any overbearing aura. He was smiling, just as gentle as his voice.

Su Yunqing froze, then, without even retracting her Martial Soul, she turned and ran without looking back. Even though she was lugging a large hammer, her speed was not slow at all.

Seeing Su Yunqing's maneuver, Ling Nan was also stunned, and then he ran too... his speed was incredibly fast!

Only Zheng Li was left behind.

Zheng Li's mouth twitched. You guys were just playing around! Why was your first instinct to run?

At this moment, the teacher had already walked to Zheng Li's side. He looked at the backs of the two fleeing students and asked, "Are you with them, student?"

"Yes, teacher."

"Don't be nervous. I saw the whole process just now; I'm just giving you a reminder. By the way, let me introduce myself. My name is Wang Yan," Wang Yan said with a gentle smile.

"Teacher, I'm not nervous," Zheng Li smiled slightly. "My name is Zheng Li, and I'm from Class Five of the freshmen."

Hearing Zheng Li's words, Wang Yan's smile faltered slightly, but it recovered in an instant.

"Zheng Li, that's a nice name. You're heading to eat, right? Go on then, I won't hold you up any longer. Remember to remind them not to use their Martial Souls to mess around in the teaching building corridors next time; go somewhere more open."

After Wang Yan finished speaking, he patted Zheng Li on the shoulder and left.

"Is that Wang Yan, the disciple of Elder Xuan?" Xiaonai asked.

"It should be."

Meeting this teacher, Wang Yan, was quite a surprise for Zheng Li.

Chapter 11, Butterfly Effect: Practical Combat Revision

Outside the cafeteria, Ling Nan and Su Yunqing, who had run away, were waiting for Zheng Li.

Upon seeing Zheng Li, Su Yunqing rushed up, grabbed his hand, and asked nervously, "Zheng Li, what did the teacher say? Did he investigate? I don't want to be expelled!"

Ling Nan's expression was also very tense.

Zheng Li rolled his eyes at Su Yunqing. You don't want to be expelled? Then why were you so impulsive?

"It's fine. Teacher Wang Yan just wanted me to remind you not to use your Martial Souls to mess around in the teaching building corridors."

"Oh, oh, as long as he didn't pursue it," Ling Nan and Su Yunqing both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go. Since everything is fine, let's go eat! The smell of this food... it's making me hungry!" Ling Nan sniffed the air and said.

"Gluttonous meow? Meow?" Su Yunqing tilted her head in confusion. Was that a catchphrase?

"His Martial Soul is of the cat family." Zheng Li watched Ling Nan walk into the cafeteria and shook his head to explain to Su Yunqing.

Su Yunqing let out an "Oh," then added, "No wonder he runs as fast as a Soft Bone Rabbit?"

Zheng Li: "???"

Setting aside the comparison between a rabbit and a cat, wasn't there something wrong with the idea of a "Soft Bone Rabbit" being fast?

Forgive his ignorance, but shouldn't a Soft Bone Rabbit be strong in jujutsu?

Get to know Xiao Wu's Explosive Kill Eight-Stage Throw!

"Let's go in, too." Su Yunqing said as she walked inside.

Zheng Li and Ling Nan still went to order a lunch that cost over one Gold Soul Coin.

Returning to the table, they saw that Su Yunqing's lunch was very simple.

Neither Zheng Li nor Ling Nan said anything; they could naturally guess that Su Yunqing's family situation wasn't very good.

If Zheng Li didn't have the ten thousand Gold Soul Coins provided by his system, his situation would be even more dire than Su Yunqing's.

Seeing this, some ripples couldn't help but appear in Su Yunqing's yellow eyes.

After the meal, they each returned to their dorms, as the lunch break was quite long.

After returning and chatting with Ling Nan for a few moments, Zheng Li began his cultivation.

Following Zheng Li's lead, Ling Nan also began to cultivate.

After all, cultivation base didn't just blow in on the wind.

In the afternoon, Shrek Square.
