Beibei fell into thought after hearing this. "Looks like quite a few things really happened at the academy during the year we were away training."

Ning Rongrong had been watching the passersby all along. Upon hearing their conversation, she immediately leaned over and introduced herself:

"Hello, Senior. We're students of the Elite Class too."

"My name is Ning Tian. I'm eleven this year. My martial soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda, and I'm a level thirty-one auxiliary-system Soul Elder."

"This is my younger sister, Wu Feng. She's also eleven this year. Her martial soul is the Red Dragon, and she's a level twenty-four assault-system Soul Grandmaster."

"It's a pleasure to meet you."

Ning Rongrong's easy familiarity caught Beibei somewhat off guard.

But out of courtesy—and also to avoid making 'Tang Ya' misunderstand their relationship—he still said:

"Hello, I'm Beibei. My martial soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. I'm thirteen years old, a level thirty-seven assault-system battle Soul Elder."

"This is my girlfriend, Tang Ya. She's fourteen, her martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, and she's a level forty-two control-system battle Soul Ancestor."

The moment those words left his mouth, Xu Sanshi couldn't help but cry out, "Holy shit, Beibei, has your Xiao Ya gotten this strong already? She's risen more than ten Soul Power Levels in just one year."

Bitterness welled up in Beibei's heart, but he offered no further explanation and continued the introductions:

"This is my junior apprentice brother, Huo Yuhao. His martial soul is the Spirit Eye. Like you, he's eleven years old, a level eleven one-ring soul master."

Ning Rongrong let out an "Oh," instantly losing interest. She turned around and led Wu Feng back to where they had been standing, continuing to wait for the Child of Destiny she had in mind.

As for Beibei and Huo Yuhao, the former could be considered a genius, but that was all.

He was nowhere near the level of a Child of Destiny.

Even Xu Sanshi standing beside him was no worse than he was.

Someone like that could never become a god.

As for the latter, let alone being a genius, he did not even qualify as mediocre. Becoming a soul master only at eleven—she had never seen anyone so useless.

"What's wrong with those two?" Beibei shot them a speechless glance before turning to Xu Sanshi.

"Don't mind them. They're just two arrogant brats. What are they so proud of... They were merely born into the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect; it's not like they awakened the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda as their martial souls."

It was not hard to hear from Xu Sanshi's tone that he found Ning Rongrong and Wu Feng extremely unpleasant.

After all, those two had privately called him a lapdog.

Did they really think he could not hear them?

He simply did not want to ruin his good image in 'Jiang Nannan's' eyes.

Hearing this, Beibei said nothing more, merely assuming they were spoiled young heirs with nothing but talent.

"Let's go." Tang San had long since grown impatient. If he had not been unfamiliar with this so-called new registration process, he would have left already.

"Let's go, then."

After Beibei's group of three departed, quite a few more new students arrived one after another.

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong continued waiting.

But no matter how long they waited, the person they were looking for never appeared.

Fortunately, new student registration lasted for three days.

They could keep waiting.

Meanwhile, two uninvited guests arrived at Shrek's Sea God Pavilion.

One had long cyan hair and cyan eyes, with broad shoulders and an imposing build.

The other had bristle-like short hair, stood over two meters tall, and was built like a bull.

Mu En gave the two a wary look and asked in a deep voice:

"So it is Sect Master Niu Tian and Sect Master Titan. May I ask why the two esteemed guests of the Clear Sky Sect have come to my Shrek?"

"It's nothing. Our precious goddaughter, Wang Dong'er, will be enrolling at Shrek tomorrow. But for certain reasons, she'll have to disguise herself as a boy and go by Wang Dong. We hope Dragon God Douluo can make an exception for her."

Mu En chuckled. "No problem, no problem. Shrek is a place for soul masters from the three Douluo nations to study and exchange knowledge together. As long as it is not a matter of principle, Shrek will not interfere."

"In that case, the two of us will take our leave." The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape rose and left Shrek.

Other than Mu En, no one ever knew they had come.

Originally, they had wanted Mu En to arrange for Wang Dong to share a dormitory with the Child of Destiny.

But Tang San had not contacted them at all during the past year.

They had no idea who Huo Yuhao was. Even if they had known, Huo Yuhao had changed his name.

There was no way to arrange it.

They could only hope the two would meet on their own.

God King Tang had already tampered with them anyway.

As long as they met, they would inevitably be drawn to each other sooner or later.

Meanwhile, after registering, Huo Yuhao was assigned to the freshman dormitory.

After doing a simple cleanup, he eagerly sat cross-legged on the bed and began cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

But the moment he entered meditation, his vision flashed white, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm pulled him into the Spirit Sea.

"Brother Sky Dream?" Huo Yuhao cried out in delight.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said excitedly, "Yuhao, do you remember that Grandmaster I told you about before?"

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up. "Brother Sky Dream, is he real?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm nodded. "Yes. I can basically confirm it now. Physical appearances can be faked, but souls cannot."

"The Grandmaster statue we saw at Shrek Academy just now was exactly the same as this one in your Spirit Sea."

Huo Yuhao asked doubtfully, "But Brother Sky Dream, didn't you say he was very weak? That his martial soul was just a Farting Pig...?"

"He's a theoretical Grandmaster, renowned for his wisdom in theory. I suppose his talent as a soul master wasn't all that great, which was why he chose the path of theory."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm pondered for a moment before answering uncertainly.

"True. My mother only ever told me what an extraordinary figure the Grandmaster was. She said he trained Sea God Tang San, and even the other six gods were trained by him as well."

Huo Yuhao nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "Brother Sky Dream, what do you think I should do?"

"Isn't that obvious? Such a great opportunity is right in front of you—of course you should take him as your master."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm floated before Huo Yuhao and smacked him lightly on the head in annoyance.

"But will he accept me?" Huo Yuhao asked self-consciously.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said proudly:

"Of course he will."

"Don't forget who I am. I'm Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the first—and only—million-year soul beast in history."

"After receiving my sacrifice, you've been completely reborn."

"Not only did you gain an unprecedented million-year first soul ring, you also gained a second martial soul."

"Besides,"

"The only reason he hasn't had his soul scattered is because I've been continuously supplying him with spiritual essence. Otherwise, his soul would have scattered long ago."

"If he dares refuse, I'll cut off his lifeline."

Huo Yuhao thought about it and realized that it made sense. "Then what should I do?"

Tian Meng thought for a while, then said, "Humans all like flattery. In a moment, praise him a bit first, then ask to become his disciple. I'll cover for you from the side."

As he spoke, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm used his own spiritual essence to awaken Yu Gang from his slumber.
