Gu Yuan Was Sent by Heaven to Save Shrek

Du Weilun stood where he was, staring at Gu Yuan's handsome, upright figure.

His face wore an expression as though he had stumbled upon a priceless treasure.

He was already overwhelmed with excitement. Ultimate Ice—it was actually Ultimate Ice! And it was an exceptional Ice Dragon King martial soul possessing four beyond-limit soul rings: three purple and one black.

Most crucially, he had already cultivated to Rank 46.

The word "genius" was no longer enough to describe him.

Wasn't he practically the walking heir to the next Master of the Sea God Pavilion?

He had to report this—he absolutely had to report it. If the dean learned that such a genius had joined Shrek Academy, he would surely be delighted.

At that thought, Du Weilun forcefully suppressed his eagerness to bring the good news to Yan Shaozhe. His figure flashed as he darted in front of Gu Yuan and asked excitedly, "What is your name? And what is your martial soul called? This is the first time I've seen a martial soul with such overwhelming pressure. Even the Title Douluo within our academy are far inferior to it."

Gu Yuan replied calmly, "Gu Yuan. Martial soul: Ice Dragon King."

Ning Rongrong, Wu Feng, Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong'er, and Zhu Zhuqing also walked over.

They looked at Gu Yuan as though he were some kind of monster.

Ning Rongrong in particular kept warning herself inwardly, I have to win him over. I have to win him over. I have to win him over. It doesn't matter how many wives he has, as long as he can take me to ascend to the God Realm.

Even if he could not become a god, even if he could not ascend, it would be fine as long as he could marry her.

It had been a long time since she had met a man capable of making her tremble like this.

The last one had been Tang San. Unfortunately, he already had Xiao Wu—and he had been rotten to the core.

She had helped him deal with so many shady matters.

Yet in the end, she had still died with her soul scattered, only managing to be "reborn" by sheer luck.

Compared to Gu Yuan, who was tall and handsome, only eleven years old, already at Rank 46, and capable of defeating an eight-ringed Soul Douluo—

Tang San

wasn't worth a fart.

No, she should call him Little Scumbag now.

Little Scumbag wasn't worth a fart.

And she would not repeat the mistakes of her previous life.

In her previous life, because of Xiao Wu, she had failed to win Tang San over due to her own restraint and pride.

In this life, even if she had to cling to Gu Yuan shamelessly, she would win him over.

Du Weilun said, "Good name, good martial soul. Gu Yuan, from this moment on, you are a student of the Outer Court Elite Class."

[Ding! It has been detected that the host has joined Shrek Academy. Would you like to bind this faction?]

"Bind," Gu Yuan silently muttered in his heart.

[Binding successful!]

[Ding! It has been detected that the host has become a disciple of Shrek Academy's Elite Class. Congratulations, host, you have obtained five exchange opportunities.]

Five exchange opportunities just for enrolling? That's not a bad start.

Gu Yuan was quite pleased inwardly.

"Ning Tian, take him to the Elite Class dormitory and pick a room for him. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first."

Du Weilun looked at Ning Rongrong.

"Alright, Director, but what about the others' tests?"

Ning Rongrong asked.

Only then did Du Weilun look at Xiao Xiao, Zhu Zhuqing, and Wang Dong'er, who had yet to be tested. Raising a brow, he said, "You and Wu Feng can handle their tests."

The Elite Class had been established to nurture and select those capable of carrying Shrek Academy's banner in the future.

Now that they had already found one, there was no need to take the others too seriously.

After all, anyone who could reach over Rank 20 in Soul Power before the age of twelve could not be too bad.

After saying that, Du Weilun left.

"I'm an auxiliary-system soul master, so it wouldn't be convenient for me to fight. In that case, Wu Feng can test you. Wu Feng, we'll all be companions from now on, so just go easy on them."

At this moment, Ning Rongrong had unconsciously taken on the role of Gu Yuan's principal wife and stopped targeting the other outstanding girls close to the Child of Destiny.

Instead, she changed her approach, focusing on winning them over.

Since she could not beat them, she would join them.

Wu Feng nodded and began assessing the new students.

Xiao Xiao was the first to step up.

Since Ning Rongrong had made it clear beforehand, the level-twenty-five Wu Feng did not go too hard on the level-twenty-one Xiao Xiao.

After the time it took to burn an incense stick, Xiao Xiao passed the assessment and officially became a member of Shrek Outer Court's Elite Class.

Next, Wang Dong'er and Zhu Zhuqing took the stage in turn.

They likewise exchanged symbolic blows for a minute before passing the fourth assessment.

Ning Rongrong smiled. "Alright, since you've all passed the assessment, I'll take you to the Elite Class dormitories."

"Let me tell you, in order to focus on nurturing Elite Class students, the academy specially set aside an area to build dormitories for them. All Elite Class students live there."

"The accommodations are nothing special, but at least there are private bathrooms. It's much better than those dormitory buildings."

Gu Yuan smiled at that. "Then give us a proper introduction."

By now, he could completely confirm that Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Tang San had descended to the lower realm.

Xiao Wu had swapped bodies with Jiang Nannan.

Ning Rongrong had swapped with Ning Tian.

Tang San had swapped with Tang Ya.

Judging by how much Xu Sanshi simped for Xiao Wu, unless something unexpected had happened, he had probably slept with her.

That made things far more entertaining.

If Tang San ever found out about this, just thinking about it was amusing.

Meanwhile, Tang San was having a miserable time.

From the Spirit Fighting Arena all the way back to the Elite Class dormitories, the entire process of today's battle against Gu Yuan replayed over and over in Tang San's mind.

To him, this was far more than simply losing a spirit battle.

It had been the most difficult and helpless battle of his two lifetimes.

His opponent's Ice Dragon King Martial Soul was undoubtedly exceptionally powerful. At the same time, that difficulty and helplessness had also come from the other party's absurdly powerful Martial Soul.

But Tang San realized that it was precisely because of his own shortcomings that he had ended up in such a situation.

In his previous life, he had encountered something similar when fighting Shui Bing'er.

But back then, she had merely restrained him. She had only managed to force a draw with him in the end by relying on the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Ice Snow Fluttering.

It had been nowhere near as despairing and helpless as this.

The despair and helplessness were so overwhelming that Tang San could barely breathe.

Of course, he had only reincarnated at the age of thirteen. In truth, he had cultivated for barely a year.

He had started far too late.

Yet it was an indisputable fact that Gu Yuan had cultivated to level forty-six before turning twelve.

Then there was that absurd soul ring configuration, along with a Martial Soul so powerful it nearly drove one to despair.

This was practically cheating.

And what about him?

Gu Yuan had cultivated for more than five years, while he himself had cultivated for just over one.

The difference in cultivation time was a full four years.

He only had one Martial Soul, and it was Blue Silver Grass without the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. He had no second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer; no Eight Spider Lances; and no Immortal Herbs.

Even with all that, he still could not defeat Gu Yuan. How was he supposed to become a god, return to the God Realm, or take revenge on Destruction?

This was only the second time Beibei had seen "Tang Ya" so utterly dejected.

The first time had been when they were kissing, and she had suddenly cried and made a scene, shouting that she wanted to drop out of school.

After following her while she wandered outside for a year, he had finally thought her mood had recovered.

Yet she had become like this again.

It was as though she had become a different person.

Beibei could not help but worry.
