Yu Tianshu: I'm only a Soul Ancestor? Returning to Shrek: Zhu Zhuqing is my Aunt.

In the time that followed, Dugu Yan detailed the life she and Dugu Bo had shared, relying on each other for survival.

"Oh, my poor granddaughter, it has truly been hard on you and your grandfather! Your grandfather is already of such an advanced age, yet he still had to raise you all by himself."

"It wasn't hard!" Dugu Yan wiped away her tears, then wiped away her grandmother's, before stubbornly forcing a smile. It made the hearts of those present ache.

After exchanging pleasantries for a long while, the group gradually calmed down from their initial excitement. Dugu Yan suddenly asked, "By the way, what about the me in this world? And my younger brother and sister..."

Dugu Xin explained, "Recently, some people in the South Sea region have been illegally hunting sea soul beasts to obtain Whale Rubber. Yan'er has gone to the South Sea with the law enforcement team to handle it."

"Oh~"

"Also, your brother and sister are currently attending Xianting University. Would you like to go there as well? It would be a good chance to see the learning environment at Xianting University."

"Ah? I don't think I should! I'm almost twenty-one..." Dugu Yan's voice was soft and hesitant; she felt embarrassed about attending school with a bunch of little kids. Especially since she was not only older than them but also weaker! How could she have the face to squeeze into a classroom with them...

"Haha, it's fine, it's fine! Your brother and sister are only just starting their freshman year. I'll arrange for you to be in the same class; that way, you can look out for each other."

Dugu Yan was hesitant, and a large part of her heart was unwilling. She was terrified of losing face for the Douluo World No. 1.

Dugu Xin continued to persuade her, "Yan'er, Xianting University possesses the most perfect methods for condensing soul rings! I see your Soul Power Level must be at level fifty, right? You can go there to learn the method of soul ring condensation, and you can get whatever skills you desire~"

Hearing this, Dugu Yan was finally tempted, so she decided to ask her Soul Spirit, the Earth Dragon, when she was alone later before making a final decision.

Douluo World No. 1.

The newcomers Qian Pingchuan, Yu Tianshu, Hu Lieni, and Xiong Jun finally gained a rough understanding of the basic intelligence.

Yu Tianshu felt terrible!

What was his counterpart's soul power level again? Level 41? How on earth did this guy cultivate? To be only level 41 at twenty years old! Had he wasted all his cultivation on nothing?

Even if he cultivated with his ass, he shouldn't be level 41! Damn it! Yu Tianshu felt indignant.

At this moment!

Dugu Bo did not reveal that Yu Tianheng was his granddaughter's boyfriend, secretly feeling relieved: My granddaughter has now gone to the main world's Xianting; she shouldn't have any more contact with Yu Tianheng in the future!

Not long after.

Dugu Xue looked at the sun, which was about to set on the horizon, and said, "It is getting late now, so you should all rest here for a while. This old man still needs to make a trip to Shrek Academy to fulfill the Empress's instructions."

"Second Uncle."

Qian Pingchuan stepped forward, "Let us handle this matter; it would be a good chance for us to go out and look around."

"This..." Dugu Xue was worried that Qian Pingchuan might clash with the people of this world, but then he remembered that the overall combat power of Shrek Academy was pitifully weak—even a level 62 food-type soul master like Ozka could beat them up. He instructed, "Then go if you must, but do not use any martial arts or immortal techniques outside of your soul master abilities for now! And for the time being, do not expose our identity as people from another world."

"Understood! Second Uncle, please rest assured."

"Then I leave the matter of the Zhu Zhuqin counterpart to you. Be careful yourselves. Xiong Jun, protect the Third Prince."

Xiong Jun patted his chest from the side, guaranteeing, "Don't worry. With me here, even if the Di Shitian counterpart shows up, I can press him back into the Star Dou Forest with a single finger!"

Dugu Xue smiled helplessly, turned his head, and said, "And Dugu Bo, you stay behind. The pills from Xianting have been refined successfully and were sent over this time. Prepare yourself to refine the pill in a moment. First, resolve the defects in your martial soul, and then I will help you condense a soul core. A Title Douluo without a soul core is just a weakling!"

Dugu Bo was shocked, and joy immediately surged into his heart; he was incredibly excited! Not only had his long-cherished wish been fulfilled, but it had been exceeded! His granddaughter had not only solved her martial soul defect but had also obtained a hundred thousand year soul ring and a hundred thousand year soul bone! She had even gone to Xianting, with a path to godhood in sight!

Now, was he also going to refine the pill and evolve his martial soul into a Jade Phosphorous Earth Dragon?

"Many thanks to the Venerable! Thank you to Xianting, thank you to Emperor Qingtian!" Dugu Bo's tone was filled with gratitude.

"No need for that. You are the first person in Douluo World No. 1 to pledge loyalty to Xianting, so you will naturally receive preferential treatment! As for your granddaughter, she will not lack cultivation resources over there."

"I will definitely make a huge contribution to Xianting's expedition! I am willing to dedicate everything I have!" Dugu Bo was extremely emotional, his voice ringing with conviction.

A moment later.

Just as everyone was about to leave together, Dugu Bo quickly said, "Wait a moment!"

Qian Pingchuan asked, "What is it? Senior Dugu, is there anything else we need to be careful about?"

Dugu Bo looked at Hu Lieni, Yu Tianshu, Feng Xiaodi, and Ozka, saying, "You look almost exactly like your counterparts. Why don't you... do some disguising?"

Speaking of disguises, Feng Xiaodi spoke speechlessly of his past experiences.

He would stick on a fake beard, and Ozka would be recognized in a second!

He even wore a mask, and he himself was still recognized in a second!

He was starting to doubt his own disguise skills!

Dugu Bo then warned Feng Xiaodi, "And Feng Xiaodi, you must not make a move! Even if you do, you cannot expose your Gale Two-Headed Wolf martial soul! You are already wanted by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"

"Uh... alright."

Qian Pingchuan looked at Feng Xiaodi curiously and asked, "What did you do? You're actually wanted? Isn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect the second-greatest sect in Douluo World No. 1? And since the number one sect is in seclusion, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is basically the strongest, right?"

Feng Xiaodi scratched his head and said with a smile, "I didn't do much. Ozka and I just castrated their sect master! Then we spread the news that their sect master had become a eunuch. After that, I fought two Title Douluo elders from their sect and exposed my Gale Two-Headed Wolf martial soul."

Qian Pingchuan: "..."

Yu Tianshu: "666!"

Hu Lieni asked, "Why did you castrate him?"

From the side, Xiao Wei, who had been serving tea and water to everyone, spoke up weakly and explained the whole story.

Bang!

"Well castrated!"

Hu Lieni slammed the table, giving Ozka an approving look.

Ozka smiled triumphantly; in Xiao Wei's eyes, that smile was so radiant that she found herself momentarily dazed!

The group had dressed as guards, wearing uniform attire and concealing their hair, mouths, and noses, leaving only their eyes exposed.

Ozka sighed, "It's great to be the Third Prince. There isn't even a counterpart of him in this world! No disguise needed at all."

Qian Pingchuan smiled, thinking to himself: Perhaps it's because I am unique! Even the Imperial Sister has a counterpart; the reason I don't is likely because I hail from the Tang Sect!

Lost in thought, the time spent on the road passed much faster.

Ozka asked, "After traveling for so long, do you have any impressions?"

Yu Tianshu frowned and said, "The fact that people in this world still rely on horse-drawn carriages to travel... it's truly hard to describe! They haven't even developed Soul Tool cars or Soul Tool motorcycles."

"What if I told you that the craftsmanship for creating Soul Tools in this world has been severed? Would you believe it?"

"No way? Even the inheritance of Soul Tool craftsmanship can be severed?" Yu Tianshu was full of shock, finding it hard to imagine!

The craftsmanship for creating Soul Tools was certainly not kept secret by any single person or any single faction.

It must have been held by a vast number of people and countless factions!

Therefore, the severance of the inheritance of Soul Tool craftsmanship meant that a vast number of people and countless factions had been silenced at the same time! To achieve such conditions, there could only be one larger faction: one that launched a targeted extermination campaign! And they must have burned all the relevant books as well!

And then, this great faction must have eventually been wiped out itself!

Or, perhaps the Douluo Continent had suffered a massive catastrophe, one that involved the entire continent, leaving nine out of ten households empty and barely one in ten surviving! Perhaps the human race had even nearly gone extinct because of it!

Only these two scenarios could explain the severance of the Soul Tool inheritance.

"Alright, we have arrived at the gates of Shrek Academy, let's not talk about other things for now!"

Qian Pingchuan took the lead and jumped off the carriage. Xiong Jun followed second; he did not disguise himself because his counterpart was in the Star Dou Forest, and no one here knew him. Feng Xiaodi and the other four stood on either side to act as guards.

"Who are you people? What are you doing at Shrek?"

A guard at the academy gate asked.

"We are here to find Zhu Zhuqing," Qian Pingchuan said, while the others served as background scenery.

"What are you to her?"

Qian Pingchuan pondered for a second, quickly sorting out his relationship with Zhu Zhuqing in his mind, and said, "She is my aunt!"

"What? Aunt?"

"Yes." Qian Pingchuan nodded calmly.

The Shrek guard was suddenly stunned, his wide, shocked eyes staring at Qian Pingchuan's earnest expression, feeling that this handsome youth didn't seem to be lying. He then looked at the people behind the youth, all of whom looked extraordinary!

"You... you... wait a moment, I'll go report this! We at Shrek do not allow outsiders to enter as they please."

"Fine, go ahead."

Since they intended to take Zhu Zhuqing away, the group had chosen to arrive at Shrek openly; following the rules was a necessary step.

After the guard left, Ozka whispered, "Last time Feng Xiaodi and I came, we snuck in at midnight! Shrek's security was very lax, and we reached the inner courtyard without any effort! We discovered that there was only one person in all of Shrek worth noting."

Qian Pingchuan nodded and said, "Is it that person named Tang San? Is there no one else worth noting? After all, everyone is a counterpart!"

Ozka had a strange expression; he glanced quietly at Yu Tianshu and shook his head, saying, "Aside from that transformed soul beast that one might pay a little attention to, the others... none!"

Beside them, Feng Xiaodi also glanced at Yu Tianshu, wanting to say something but stopping himself, ultimately saying nothing. He couldn't exactly tell Yu Tianshu: Did you know your aunt secretly rewards herself at night?

Feng Xiaodi was quite worried that if Yu Tianshu found out, he would fight him to the death.

As they spoke, Qian Pingchuan frowned slightly, thinking: Before I transmigrated, my name was Tang Yier; one plus two happens to be three... The name Tang San is quite a coincidence!

Ozka continued to explain, "Tang San's intuition is incredibly sharp! Even after we used the Breath Concealment Art, we were almost discovered by him! Furthermore, he knows a type of internal energy cultivation method! It is similar to the techniques of our Immortal Court, a method that can be practiced without the need for soul power. We suspect it is very likely that someone from the Clear Sky Sect created a martial dao technique in the past!"

"Internal energy cultivation method?" Qian Pingchuan's frown deepened. He thought of his own Mysterious Heaven Skill. Although he hadn't practiced the Mysterious Heaven Skill after transmigrating, choosing instead a more profound and mysterious technique, he certainly wouldn't forget those three words!

Could he be my counterpart?

The more Tang San was mentioned, the more of a strange feeling Qian Pingchuan had in his heart! His intuition told him that this Tang San had an inexplicable connection to him.
