The moment Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes, she vaguely saw a girl about her age sitting cross-legged beside her. She immediately became wary, but in the next instant, she noticed the clean clothes on her body and the tight feeling of the bandages wrapped around her.
Mm. Though the clothes were a little small for her.
Xiao Wu sensed movement beside her and immediately stopped cultivating. She said softly to Zhu Zhuqing, "How do you feel now? My name is Xiao Wu, the Wu from dancing. You suddenly fainted just now, and we already gave you the medicine my brother provided. Try sensing your condition."
Zhu Zhuqing's face was still extremely cold. After nodding, she checked the state of her body and was shocked to discover that the poison in her had actually been cured!
"Do you have any spare clothes with you? My clothes really are a bit small on you."
Xiao Wu's tone was full of sourness, and unwilling to admit defeat, she still asked one more question: "You still haven't said what your name is. Can I ask how old you are this year?"
"Zhu Zhuqing. Eleven this year."
Zhu Zhuqing's words were extremely concise.
Xiao Wu also sensed that the person before her seemed a little aloof.
But she really was younger than her. She could cry.
However, Xiao Wu quickly tidied up her emotions. It was fine. She was still growing and couldn't compare herself to this freak.
"Brother, Tang San, Grandmaster, she's awake."
After waiting for Zhu Zhuqing to change her clothes, Xiao Wu lifted the tent flap and walked out.
After they talked it over, the group was surprised to discover that they were all going to Shrek Academy.
Xiao Wu's curiosity was instantly piqued. "Zhuqing, where are you from? Shrek Academy is clearly so unknown."
Xiao Tian: .
Xiao Tian gently tugged Xiao Wu with his hand. This was only their first meeting. Why would she tell them?
Zhu Zhuqing noticed Xiao Tian's small movement. When she looked at this person who had saved her, her gaze softened slightly, and she said, "I came from the Star Luo Empire. I'm going to Shrek Academy to find someone."
Yu Xiaogang immediately became interested. Flender had privately told him about Shrek Academy's situation last time, and it could only be described as utterly miserable.
The entire academy only had three students. It truly disgraced the Golden Iron Triangle!
The registration fees clearly weren't refunded, so couldn't that miser improve the academy's environment or something?
Find someone?
Yu Xiaogang pondered briefly, and soon had a few guesses. In Shrek Academy, Oscar had been adopted by Flender, while Ma Hongjun was Flender's direct disciple, so neither of them could possibly be connected to Zhu Zhuqing.
That left only Dai Mubai. One surnamed Zhu, one surnamed Dai. He instantly understood.
Although he had lived in seclusion at Notting Academy for several years, he still knew quite a bit about the situation in the Star Luo Empire.
This Zhu Zhuqing before him was very likely Dai Mubai's fiancée. Tomorrow, he absolutely had to keep her at Shrek Academy. With Tang San and the other two added in, Shrek could participate in the Soul Master Elite Competition in a few years.
"Zhu Zhuqing, may I ask who you want to find at Shrek? To be honest, Shrek Academy was founded by Flender, the Flying Horn of the Golden Iron Triangle, while I am Yu Xiaogang, the Wisdom Horn. I wonder if you've heard of us? When Shrek Academy recruits students the day after tomorrow, don't be too surprised when you go. Shrek Academy only accepts monsters. If you don't have some strength, you won't be able to enter."
Yu Xiaogang smiled as he spoke to Zhu Zhuqing, his words full of temptation. Shrek Academy wasn't somewhere just anyone could enter!
Zhu Zhuqing merely nodded coldly and did not speak.
But her thoughts were churning. It only accepted monsters?
Then his coming from the Star Luo Empire to Shrek Academy probably wasn't an escape, but a plan to pull the rug out from under them, right?
Yu Xiaogang did not know that his words had planted a mine in Zhu Zhuqing's heart.
Afterward, Zhu Zhuqing thanked Xiao Tian again. The group discussed setting off together for Suotuo City tomorrow, then rested in the tent.
During that time, Zhu Zhuqing learned from Xiao Wu about their current Soul Power Levels. She was immediately somewhat shocked and said, "How did you cultivate? You're clearly only one year older than me, but your Soul Power Level is so much higher than mine?"
Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing paused, then said, "Don't tell me the three of you all have Innate Full Soul Power? Is that why you're so strong?"
Zhu Zhuqing felt that she should have guessed right.
Her Innate Soul Power was only level seven, and with her cultivating hard every day on top of that, having level twenty-seven soul power at this age was already considered breaking her family's record. Yet she hadn't expected that there were others who cultivated even faster than her.
Then there was only one possibility: their Innate Soul Power was higher than hers, and their level of effort was no less than her own.
Xiao Wu smiled mysteriously. "Zhuqing, you only guessed half right. Tang San and I do indeed both have Innate Full Soul Power, but my brother doesn't. My brother's Innate Soul Power was only level five."
Xiao Wu was very naturally familiar and directly called her Zhuqing. In any case, they would be classmates in a few days.
"What! Xiao Wu, are you sure what you said is true? Innate level five—throughout this continent's history, no one has ever reached the Soul Elder realm at this age!"
Zhu Zhuqing spoke in extreme shock. Even her tone rose considerably, and she could no longer maintain her cold expression. Her little mouth opened slightly, and her eyes widened.
She already knew earlier that Xiao Tian was the strongest among the three, but she hadn't expected his talent to be the weakest?
This left her utterly unable to understand.
If she could learn something from Xiao Tian, then could she become stronger too?
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing was filled with endless curiosity toward Xiao Tian, but her gaze became incomparably firm. She had to become stronger!
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's shocked expression, Xiao Wu felt extremely happy inside.
After all, Xiao Tian was her brother. Besides, he could be considered to have opened up an entirely new path for assisted cultivation on his own, right?
Although this method did not apply to most people, it was enough to be proud of!
After that, Zhu Zhuqing could be considered to have opened up a little. While chatting with Xiao Wu, every question she asked was related to Xiao Tian, which immediately put Xiao Wu on guard.
Zhuqing isn't interested in my brother, is she?
And from the very beginning, Xiao Tian had admired both Zhuqing's figure and her looks.
Xiao Wu remembered something Xiao Tian had once said: when you became interested in a man, then congratulations, you had already begun to fall.
For some reason, Xiao Wu's heart suddenly felt sour. That was her brother—how could he be snatched away by someone else so easily?
