This Dormitory is Ominous

Huo Yuhao was resting next to Kong Deming's room at this time, having already consumed the Black Tortoise God Pill.

This night increased his soul power by about three levels, and his meridians felt significantly more unobstructed.

Kong Deming was astonished by his talent for spiritual power, so he kept him by his side to teach him, figuring he might as well treat him like his own grand-disciple.

The next morning, Xu Yanli changed into an outfit belonging to Xiaoyao Pavilion; naturally, he had designed this clothing himself.

After all, given Shrek Academy's tendency to look down on others, he had to wear clothes that symbolized his status to avoid unnecessary trouble.

In truth, as Xu Yanli recalled the conditions of the dormitories and other facilities for Shrek Academy students, he was cursing under his breath.

He was accustomed to living in luxury in this life; although he had been used to such trashy environments in his past life, he certainly couldn't get used to it now.

He wondered if he could apply to live off-campus; he didn't really care about those two minutes of cultivation time anyway.

Xu Yanli sighed in despair, then took the sealed recommendation letter out of his storage soul tool and slowly walked toward the registration area.

The registration area was bustling with activity, with a group of youths around fifteen or sixteen years old standing there, seemingly guarding something.

"Are you here to register, classmate?" a very enthusiastic-looking youth asked with a smile.

"Yes, this is my recommendation letter." Xu Yanli smiled and handed the letter to the senior student in front of him.

The senior glanced at the envelope twice, took out a very ordinary-looking crystal ball from the side, and said, "Hmm, this is indeed a recommendation letter from Lingdou City in the Heaven Dou Empire. Take this crystal ball and test your soul power."

Xu Yanli nodded and placed his hand on the crystal ball. The orb lit up rapidly, and the next moment, it gloriously shattered.

The senior looked at Xu Yanli with a blank expression, his voice trembling as he asked, "Junior, has your soul power broken through level 50?"

Xu Yanli nodded.

The senior shuddered from head to toe, unsure if it was out of fear or shock.

Xu Yanli stroked his chin. In reality, his current martial soul and soul power were a double-edged sword at Shrek Academy, but his talent was enough to put on a good show.

Xu Yanli believed that nothing was more attractive at Shrek these days than a powerful healing-type martial soul, excluding, of course, martial souls with ultimate attributes.

But the problem was, his martial soul also possessed the ultimate sacred and light attributes.

The senior quickly handed him a badge and said, "Go to the area behind to verify your martial soul, and you can be admitted directly."

Xu Yanli took the badge, said thank you, and walked toward the back.

The next checkpoint was not managed by students, but by a young teacher wearing glasses.

"Classmate, please release your martial soul. I am the theory teacher, Wang Yan." The bespectacled teacher pushed up his glasses and said with a smile.

After Xu Yanli pushed the badge toward the teacher, he slowly released his martial soul.

Two purple and three black soul rings rose from beneath his feet, and twelve angel wings unfurled behind him, scattering holy radiance.

"Twelve-Winged Angel martial soul!" A flash of excitement crossed Wang Yan's eyes. "No wonder, no wonder you have over level 50 soul power. Shrek Academy welcomes you."

Wang Yan's eyes gleamed with excitement, and he grabbed Xu Yanli's hand emotionally, saying, "Classmate, would you have any free time for a teacher to listen to you explain the specificities of the Angel Martial Soul?"

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Yanli nodded.

"Then, then thank you, classmate." Wang Yan seemed a bit flustered, then took a dormitory tag from a box nearby and handed it to Xu Yanli. "This is the school's freshman badge. Keep it, classmate; you should be able to see the class assignments this afternoon."

"Thank you, teacher." Xu Yanli's eyes shifted slightly up and down, observing Wang Yan's overall state.

It looked like this guy could be poached, though he wondered what excuse he could use to do it.

A plan flashed through Xu Yanli's mind, but he probably couldn't put it into action just yet.

Xu Yanli looked at the badge in his hand, thinking he should go find his dormitory first, and hoping it was close to the restroom.

Ah...

Which genius came up with this? Hundreds of dorm rooms fighting over two toilets!

Thinking about it more carefully, the configuration of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy compared to this place was truly worlds apart.

He wondered what was going on in these people's heads...

Xu Yanli rolled his eyes in secret and headed toward the dormitory building.

When Xu Yanli reached the white dormitory building, he saw an old man in grey cloth clothes lying there, seemingly basking in the sun.

Xu Yanli walked up and said with a smile, "Hello, Grandpa. I'm here to move in. Are there any rules for the school dorms?"

When Mu En looked up and saw Xu Yanli's face, his eyes constricted for a split second, but he quickly returned to normal and said with a smile, "Hmm, let me see your badge and dormitory key first."

Xu Yanli subconsciously handed the badge and key to Mu En, though he had clearly caught Mu En's reaction just now.

Did Mu En recognize this face?

No, he definitely didn't recognize him; it was highly likely he recognized his mother or an even older ancestor.

Xu Yanli tapped his fingers against the outside of his thigh, his expression drifting.

But his thoughts were quickly interrupted by Mu En's voice: "Go on, classmate. Your room is on the first floor, the third one on the left, number 108. There aren't really any rules for the dorms, except that you aren't allowed on the fourth floor. Once discovered, you will be expelled."

Xu Yanli smiled lightly: "Hmm, thank you very much, Grandpa."

Xu Yanli took his key and walked toward the dormitory, though he subconsciously kept an eye on Mu En, not daring to be too obvious.

Yet, he still heard Mu En's mutter: "Too similar, truly too similar."

Xu Yanli walked away straight after without hearing the rest, but why did that "Dorm 108" sound so familiar? Why did he have such an ominous premonition?

Could it be that eldest miss from the Tang Clan?

Xu Yanli pinched the bridge of his nose, his face full of disdain.

In truth, he was quite curious: how did two SSRs combine to form one SB?

At this moment, Xu Yanli wanted nothing more than to rush downstairs and demand a room change, but after some thought, he decided against it; unstable factors were best kept right under his own nose.

Besides, he would just try his best to avoid any contact with her.

Xu Yanli arrived in front of his dorm and slowly pushed the door open, the rush of dusty air making him feel like he was on the verge of a breakdown.

Xu Yanli was somewhat puzzled—how did this school dorm manage to get this filthy after only two months of neglect?

After a moment of hesitation, Xu Yanli knocked on the door of the student next door.
