Golden light flowed through Huo Yuhao's eyes. This was the first time he had witnessed a battle like this. Though it was not a fight to the death, Huo Yuhao could still learn a few things from it.

Huo Yuhao had originally considered using his Soul Skill to help Bei Bei, but one look at them told him that the three of them were merely fooling around.

Moreover, from what Chen Yuan had just said, this involved Bei Bei's elder as well. Strictly speaking, it was a private matter.

So Huo Yuhao gave up on the idea of helping his senior brother.

Seeing her boyfriend being besieged by two people, Tang Ya was momentarily unsure whether she should intervene.

She knew her own strength well. If she rashly entered the fight, she would only distract Bei Bei.

As more and more people gathered around them, Chen Yuan flashed in front of Bei Bei. His Flame Gauntlet repeatedly collided with Bei Bei's dragon claws.

Xu Sanshi gave Bei Bei no chance to catch his breath either. Left with no choice, Bei Bei could only rely on Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to weave and dart continuously between the two of them.

Even so, parts of his school uniform had already been scorched black, and a dull pain throbbed in his back and hands.

Since Xu Sanshi was putting in so much effort, Chen Yuan naturally could not keep holding back. His third Soul Ring flashed.

Third Soul Skill: Heart of Flame. Fire attribute +60%, strength and attack power doubled (independent multiplier).

In an instant, Chen Yuan's aura surged sharply. His left fist, wrapped in Dragon Soul, slammed into Bei Bei's chest.

Bei Bei was sent flying by that enormous force, his body like a kite with its string cut. Xu Sanshi judged the position, predicted where Bei Bei would land, and steadily caught the weakened Bei Bei.

"Seriously, Chen Yuan? You actually used a Soul Skill?"

Wiping the sweat from his face, Bei Bei looked at Chen Yuan with bitter resentment.

He truly had not expected Chen Yuan to use a Soul Skill against him.

The three people in their dorm had sparred plenty of times before. Only after Chen Yuan obtained his ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring had their sparring sessions gradually become less frequent.

Because of those sparring sessions, they had a certain understanding of one another's Soul Skills. Among them, Chen Yuan's numbers were the most outrageous.

He did not have a single offensive Soul Skill. They were all enhancement-type Soul Skills. Combined with the physical strengthening from several over-age-limit Soul Rings, as well as Chen Yuan's deliberate physical training—

It meant that once Chen Yuan activated his third and fourth Soul Skills, beating an unprepared Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi alone was merely a matter of throwing a few extra punches.

With the fight over, the Soul Power within Chen Yuan's body began circulating on its own again under Dali Gu's control.

"No helping it. Take someone's money, help them deal with trouble. I had to teach you a lesson."

"What exactly did you get that made you hit me this hard?"

Bei Bei understood Chen Yuan fairly well. Chen Yuan should not have been the sort of person who would attack a friend over some trifling reward.

Bei Bei knew that the elder Chen Yuan had said hired him could only be his Mystic Ancestor.

Based on Bei Bei's guess, his Mystic Ancestor must have given Chen Yuan a considerable reward. Not only did he want Chen Yuan to knock some sense into him, but Mystic Ancestor himself also intended to guide Chen Yuan.

"A Self-Created Soul Skill."

Beside Bei Bei's ear, Chen Yuan quietly revealed the reward he had received.

There was no need for Chen Yuan to hide the fact that he had obtained the Self-Created Soul Skill Reign Over the World from Bei Bei. Even if he hid it, Bei Bei would find out as soon as he asked.

If Bei Bei wanted to learn Mu En's three Self-Created Soul Skills, he only needed to mention it to Mu En.

And that was indeed what happened. Before the second Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament, Bei Bei truly did learn Mu En's Self-Created Soul Skill.

Hearing that Chen Yuan had received a Self-Created Soul Skill, Bei Bei could not help marveling at his Mystic Ancestor's generosity. From the looks of it, his Mystic Ancestor wanted to take Chen Yuan in as a disciple.

Bei Bei thought of many things. Hearing that his Mystic Ancestor had taught Chen Yuan a Self-Created Soul Skill before even accepting him as a disciple left him deeply surprised.

But more than that, he was sincerely happy for Chen Yuan.

Bei Bei glanced at Tang Ya, feeling somewhat troubled. How could he not understand Mu En's intentions?

His mother had died in childbirth, and his father had taken on an impossible mission afterward and died as well. Zhang Lexuan and Mu En had raised him since childhood.

Perhaps Mystic Ancestor had become dissatisfied with his laziness lately? That was why he had Chen Yuan teach him a lesson.

Having figured out the reason, Bei Bei silently sighed, then draped an arm over Chen Yuan's shoulder and let him support him.

"Chen Yuan, how about we make a deal?"

"What do you want?"

"I remember you still have a Mystic Water Pill, right? Sell it to me. Junior brother's talent is a little lacking, so it would be better for him to take two more Mystic Water Pills."

Mystic Water Pills could cleanse the impurities within one's body. The lower one's Innate Soul Power, the better the effect.

With Huo Yuhao's aptitude of only level-one Innate Soul Power, even though Douluo Continent's pills were unsystematic, taking two more would only benefit him and do no harm.

"Sure. I'll sell it to you for one thousand Gold Soul Coins. Oh, right, you won your bet with Sanshi. Don't forget that Mystic Water Pill."

Bei Bei's eyes lit up.

When he arrived earlier and did not see Jiang Nannan, he had thought that the bet would not be settled today. It seemed he had simply come too late.

Looking at Bei Bei, who still had not fully recovered, Xu Sanshi directly took a small white jade porcelain bottle from his Storage Soul Tool and handed it to him.

"I keep my word. Besides, Yuhao's grilled fish really does taste good. This Mystic Water Pill is yours."

"And Chen Yuan, get your eyes off my Storage Soul Tool! I've already run out of pills for this semester!"

Taking the porcelain bottle Xu Sanshi handed over, Bei Bei looked at Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan also took out a porcelain bottle and gave it to Bei Bei.

As for the Gold Soul Coins, he could ask for them later. Bei Bei, that rich bastard, would not cheat him out of a thousand Gold Soul Coins.

Mu En's task was temporarily resolved, and Chen Yuan did not plan to linger any longer. After handing Bei Bei over to Tang Ya, Chen Yuan left with Xu Sanshi.

By the time Bei Bei reached four rings, Chen Yuan probably would not have reached level fifty yet. When they were both Soul Ancestors, beating Bei Bei senseless one-on-one would be the best way to correct him.

After checking the time, Chen Yuan headed toward Shrek's cafeteria.

The remaining grilled fish could be eaten later, or even reheated with fire tomorrow when he got hungry. But if he missed the cafeteria's nutritious meal, then he had truly missed it.

The moment he entered the cafeteria, Chen Yuan saw someone familiar.

Even though Wang Dong'er's facial features had softened after returning to female attire, Chen Yuan recognized her at once from her pinkish-blue hair.

As one of the two SSR cards needed to synthesize the R card Tang Wutong, Chen Yuan had quite a deep impression of Wang Dong'er.

The instant he saw Wang Dong'er, Chen Yuan decisively turned around and changed direction.

He did not want to have any dealings with Wang Dong'er this early, much less be discovered by God King Tang so soon.

But the moment he turned around, that proud Big White Goose noticed him.

She had already been quite curious about this senior who had seen through her disguise as a girl, but she was even more angry. After all, Chen Yuan had questioned her in front of so many people.

That made the proud Wang Dong'er feel humiliated.

But after asking around, she discovered that Chen Yuan's strength was truly not something she could provoke on her own, unless the Clear Sky Sect stepped in.

"Hey! Wait! Wait up!"

"What do you want, junior sister?"

Chen Yuan stopped. He also wanted to see what Wang Dong'er intended to do. Although he did not want God King Tang to notice him yet, constantly avoiding her would look far too suspicious.

Besides, Chen Yuan could not keep avoiding her forever. He still wanted a normal academy life.

"You bastard! Why did you expose my disguise back then?!"

"If it weren't for you, nobody would have found out!"

Wang Dong'er had looked into it as well. The fact that Light Goddess Butterfly martial soul owners were female was not common knowledge. Even most teachers did not know it.

Chen Yuan let out a breath of relief. He had thought Wang Dong'er wanted something serious, but it turned out to be such a trivial matter.

Chen Yuan looked meaningfully at Wang Dong'er. That gaze made Wang Dong'er extremely uncomfortable, as if he were thinking about something terribly improper.

"Junior sister, you're a girl dressing as a boy at the academy, and you even wanted to stay in the Male Dormitory. What were you thinking?"

"If they really let you stay there, what would happen to your normal life? You'd have to be cautious even when using the restroom. What, do you want to live like that?"

"I..."

"Think it over carefully. Was dressing as a boy truly your own idea, or was it forced on you by someone else?"

As she watched Chen Yuan's departing back, a Trident mark appeared on Wang Dong'er's forehead, flashing away in an instant.

The small seed of self-doubt in Wang Dong'er's heart vanished without a trace.
