Tang San is Truly a Pig Teammate!

Clear Sky Sect

A dainty figure followed Er Ming back into the great hall.

The young girl had long, powder-blue hair cascading down her back, eyes as bright as the stars, and skin as fair as snow. Even dressed in simple athletic attire, she could not hide her peerless beauty.

She was none other than the little princess of the Clear Sky Sect, Wang Dong'er, whom Da Ming and Er Ming cherished like the apple of their eye.

"Big Uncle, Second Uncle."

Wang Dong'er blinked her large eyes, looking with curiosity at the two elders who usually doted on her so much.

"Why were you in such a rush to call me back? Did something happen?"

Da Ming looked at the girl before him, a flash of complexity crossing his eyes before he cleared his throat and spoke with a serious expression.

"Xiao Qi, we called you back because there is something we need to tell you."

"We had originally planned to send you to enroll at Shrek Academy in a few days, remember?"

"Mm-hmm, that's right."

Wang Dong'er nodded obediently.

"Ahem..."

Da Ming coughed twice, looking a bit awkward, his gaze flickering.

"Well... as for that Shrek Academy, we aren't going there for the time being."

"Huh?"

Wang Dong'er was stunned, her small face filled with confusion.

"Not going? Why? Then where will I go to school?"

"Uh... well, about that..."

Da Ming paused, seemingly trying to organize his words.

"We intend to send you to a different Shrek Academy."

"A different... Shrek Academy?"

Wang Dong'er was even more bewildered.

"There are... two Shrek Academies?"

"What exactly is this other Shrek Academy?"

Faced with Wang Dong'er's persistent questioning, Da Ming and Er Ming exchanged glances, both looking completely baffled.

To tell the truth, they didn't know what on earth this other Shrek Academy was either.

After all, they had been holed up in the Clear Sky Sect for ten thousand years and knew little about the outside world, let alone this mysterious force that had just popped up. Tang San had only told them that the academy was currently recruiting and that today was the final day, urging them to hurry.

"This..."

Er Ming scratched his head and gave a simple, honest smile.

"Actually, we aren't very clear on it either."

"But we'll know once we get there. Time is tight, so let's hurry; today is the last day."

"Xiao Qi, we really must move quickly."

However, upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er's small mouth began to pout, and an unhappy expression appeared on her face.

"Hmph!"

She stomped her foot, looking at the two of them with a sense of grievance.

"Big Uncle, Second Uncle, are you hiding something from me?"

"Why is even something like which academy I attend being kept so mysterious?"

"Is it... another one of Father's arrangements?"

When she said the word "Father," there was a distinct note of estrangement and resentment in Wang Dong'er's tone.

She had no memories of this father of hers; in fact, she had no memories of her childhood at all.

Yet, her Big Uncle and Second Uncle obeyed his every word and kept her under strict control.

This feeling of being manipulated made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing Wang Dong'er's aggrieved little expression, Da Ming and Er Ming felt a pang of heartache, but constrained by Tang San's authority, they dared not say anything more.

They could only nod helplessly.

"Yes... it is indeed your father's intention."

Da Ming sighed and spoke in a gentle, soothing tone.

"Xiao Qi, you know that your father... even though he isn't by your side, every decision he makes is surely for your own good."

"Since he wants you to go to that academy, he must have his reasons."

"Just be a good girl and go give it a try, alright?"

"Hmph..."

Although Wang Dong'er was still somewhat reluctant in her heart, she knew she could not win against these two elders, nor could she win against that father she had never met.

She could only nod her head, albeit unwillingly.

"Then hurry up and go prepare."

Da Ming let out a sigh of relief and urged her quickly.

"Remember to change into male attire; it will be more convenient for traveling outside and will save you some trouble."

The male attire was also a requirement from Tang San.

The outer perimeter of the Star Dou Forest.

By the time Da Ming and Er Ming arrived here with Wang Dong'er, who was disguised as a handsome youth, the sun was already about to set.

The recruitment site, which had been bustling with activity, was now cold and deserted.

Shen Yi and Zhuo Shi had long since taken the batch of recruited students and returned to the academy via the floating bus.

Only a beautiful woman in a silver robe with a graceful and noble temperament remained, directing several staff members to pack up the tables and chairs.

It was none other than the Silver Moon Douluo, Cai Yue'er.

"Excuse me..."

Er Ming took a large stride forward, walked up to Cai Yue'er, and asked in a muffled, booming voice.

"Is this the place where Shrek Academy is conducting recruitment?"

Cai Yue'er stopped what she was doing, looked up, and sized up the three people in front of her.

"That is correct, this is indeed the Shrek Academy recruitment station."

Cai Yue'er nodded indifferently.

"However, you are all late."

"Today's recruitment work has already concluded."

"If you wish to sign up, please come earlier next year."

"What?!"

Hearing this, both Da Ming and Er Ming were stunned.

"Con... concluded?"

Er Ming was so anxious he began scratching his head and ears.

They had rushed over with Wang Dong'er the moment Tang San finished speaking; even traveling at full speed, they were still late. This was all Tang San's fault—couldn't he have said something sooner? Why did he have to cut it so close?

Moreover, if they failed to get Wang Dong'er in, Tang San might blame them for being incompetent.

"Teacher."

"Could you please make an exception?"

"We traveled here from a very long way off and were delayed a bit on the road."

"My nephew here has great talent! He is absolutely a genius!"

"Could you... give him a chance?"

Cai Yue'er had originally intended to refuse, but the voice of Lin Feng echoed in her mind, and she spoke slowly.

"A chance... I suppose that is not entirely impossible."

"How about this."

As Cai Yue'er spoke, she flipped her wrist and retrieved a small, exquisite model from her storage Soul Tool.

The model then expanded rapidly in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a silver sports car with sleek lines and a high-tech aesthetic!

"Vroom—"

The engine's roar was low and powerful, and a faint, flowing light radiated from the car's body as it actually began to hover slowly!

"If you can keep up with my speed and reach Shrek Academy..."

Cai Yue'er sat in the driver's seat, rolled down the window, and raised an eyebrow at the three of them.

"I will make an exception and give this little one a qualification to participate in the test."

No sooner had she finished speaking.

"Boom!"

A blue flame erupted from the rear of the silver sports car, and it instantly turned into a silver streak of lightning, shooting straight up into the sky!

"What the hell?!"

Watching the flying car speed away, Er Ming couldn't help but curse, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

"What on earth was that?"

Have the Soul Tools that humans have been tinkering with these days really become this overpowered?

Even Da Ming, who was always composed, wore a look of shock and disbelief at this moment.

This thing... it completely exceeded their understanding of Soul Tools!

"What are you standing there for! Hurry and chase!"

Da Ming was the first to react, letting out a loud shout as green light erupted from his body, directly enveloping Wang Dong'er as he soared into the sky.

"Wait for me!"

Er Ming hurriedly followed suit.

The three of them moved at lightning speed, keeping a tight grip on the silver streak of light ahead.

Following Cai Yue'er, they finally caught sight of Shrek Academy in the sky.

"This..."

Looking at the scene before them, all three were dumbfounded.

"This is... that Shrek Academy?"

"It's actually in the sky?!"

"How is this possible?!"

A tempestuous storm raged in their hearts.

This was no academy; it was a city in the sky!

Was this the God Realm?

However.

Just as the three were about to approach the floating island.

"Ugh..."

Wang Dong'er, who had been carried by Da Ming the entire flight, suddenly turned pale, her brows knitting tightly together.

An intense wave of nausea surged in her heart.

"It hurts so much..."

Wang Dong'er clutched her chest, groaning in pain.

"Xiao Qi?! What's wrong?!"

Noticing Wang Dong'er's abnormality, Da Ming and Er Ming hurriedly stopped, asking with nervous expressions.

"I... I don't feel well..."

Wang Dong'er pointed at the academy ahead, which was filled with a sense of technology, her voice trembling.

"The closer I get to there... the more uncomfortable I feel all over..."

Da Ming froze, his gaze immediately falling upon the dense array of Soul Tool facilities surrounding the academy, and a flash of realization crossed his mind.

"Soul Tools?!"

The two of them finally remembered that Tang San had placed something within Wang Dong'er's soul, causing her to be unable to touch or use Soul Tools, and to instinctively reject them.

They had already made it this far, only to be told they couldn't enter?

They didn't believe for a second that Tang San was unaware of this.

First, he delayed telling them about the enrollment information, and now he hadn't mentioned that this place was filled with Soul Tools that would prevent Wang Dong'er from entering.

That guy Tang San was truly a pitfall! He could have at least lifted the soul restriction!

Did he expect them to figure out a solution on their own?
