Regarding the sisters Lan Susu and Lan Ruoruo, You Jie only felt their character designs were a true pity.

Clearly, they possessed Body Martial Souls, yet because of a single, airy remark from a Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, their futures were completely negated.

In the second tournament, they were merely four-ring Soul Ancestors; such cultivation was simply an eyesore.

Evidently, in the eyes of the Dead Wife Douluo, cannon fodder with hair-type Martial Souls were unworthy of better treatment, so it wielded the heavy hand of providence to sever the sisters' futures.

Although You Jie did not intend to become a harem king, if the Lan sisters had not unleashed something as nonsensical as a "path to death" upon him, then for the sake of their shared schooling, helping them out wouldn't be out of the question.

Soon, as the class bell rang, a young man with a very gentle temperament pushed up the glasses on his nose and walked into the classroom; it was Wang Yan, who had a relatively decent performance in the original work and, unlike Shrek, actually possessed some integrity.

After everyone went through the routine of self-introduction, You Jie, with a soul power as high as level thirty-eight, was pushed into the position of class monitor, and Wang Yan began his theoretical lecture.

His teaching was vivid and lively; if You Jie hadn't already learned all the content, he would have truly listened with great interest.

His gaze had already drifted outside the window, watching the students of Class One "running away in a panic" under the torture of Zhou Yi.

Hmm, Huo Yuhao is sharing a dorm with me now and hasn't been targeted by the daughter of the God King, so the daughter of the God King hasn't been taught a lesson by Huo Yuhao either; she still looks as arrogant and domineering as ever.

Watching Wang Dong, who had pink hair, running rapidly around Shrek Square, You Jie nodded slightly.

Logically speaking, the earliest the daughter of the God King should have intersected with him was at the freshman assessment three months later; in the time that followed, he should have been able to peacefully hand-craft a Duel Runner with Qian Duoduo and Huo Yuhao...

...As if.

"So, this classmate, you didn't even go to the cafeteria for lunch and came specifically to find me—is there something you need?"

Looking at the pink-haired boy who had rushed up to him in high spirits, You Jie only felt it was a bit troublesome.

Just a moment ago, before Wang Dong had found him, You Jie felt a scorching sensation in his arms. Pulling up his sleeves, he saw that a Red Dragon head tattoo and a dragon wing tattoo had appeared on his arms, respectively.

In a sense, this was You Jie's "Soul Seal" and the symbol of his Martial Soul.

Ever since his Martial Soul awakening, You Jie had rarely felt the dragon seals appear; this was the third time.

The first was during his Martial Soul awakening, and the second was after he encountered the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in the Star Dou Great Forest and met Electrolux.

If the second time was the Red Dragon's power persuading Di Tian and the others to retreat, then the dragon seals lighting up this time clearly meant that a crisis comparable to the arrival of Di Tian was about to occur.

"I... I wanted to sense the aura of your Martial Soul. I don't know why, but the moment I saw you, I subconsciously felt that our Martial Souls would be very compatible, and we might even possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill..."

Wang Dong, who was usually somewhat arrogant, seemed to sense the "don't touch me" aura radiating from You Jie, and his speech became a bit timid, as if he were a delicate young girl.

"Sorry, classmate, I don't have that feeling at all. You should hurry back and eat."

As he spoke, You Jie suddenly turned pale and walked away, leaving Wang Dong standing there in a daze, as if he didn't know what had just happened.

"Why am I here?!"

"Oh no, why is the line at the cafeteria so long? If I don't go eat now, it'll really be too late!"

"Tang San, damn your ancestors! To think you'd dare use your daughter to cast a curse; it's a good thing my third soul skill can replicate Solemn Judgment, otherwise I'd have really lost face."

You Jie cursed and swore as he headed straight for the Soul Tool Department, where he ate lunch with Qian Duoduo every day.

Just now, while interacting with Wang Dong, he had clearly felt a consciousness trying to rush straight into his sea of consciousness, just like the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had done to Huo Yuhao back then.

Because he didn't know if this effect counted as a monster effect or a spell/trap card effect, You Jie simply activated his third soul skill, Solemn Judgment, and at the cost of half his physical strength, negated and destroyed the activation of this effect.

Of course, You Jie could have used soul power as the cost, but he wanted to eat more at lunch, so he chose physical strength.

However, this also confirmed one thing for You Jie: Tang San could indeed interfere with matters on the Douluo Continent to a considerable extent, even if his methods weren't exactly wise.

As for what changes might occur in Wang Dong after You Jie used a Solemn Judgment on him, You Jie had no heart to consider that for the time being.

"Yuhao, your business is doing quite well!"

In the afternoon, after the courses ended, You Jie headed straight for the makeshift food street that had formed at the school gate.

During lunch, Huo Yuhao had mentioned his idea of setting up a stall to sell grilled fish.

After Huo Yuhao grilled a fish on the spot for Qian Duoduo to eat, the instantly clothes-bursting Qian Duoduo grabbed Huo Yuhao's shoulders in excitement and provided full-scale support for his grilled fish enterprise.

Not only were the grilling apparatuses top-tier, but even the supply of ingredients and seasonings were handled by Qian Duoduo.

As for the price of the final product, it rose with the tide, directly using Gold Soul Coins as the unit of settlement.

Yan Shaozhe was just stingy, but Qian Duoduo was someone who truly knew how to do business.

With the addition of Qian Duoduo's ideas, Huo Yuhao easily achieved financial freedom; although he still couldn't afford to pay for the most expensive dishes in the Shrek Academy cafeteria, he was already very content.

"Yes, Brother You Jie, I specifically saved a fish for you and the Senior Sister. Could you wait a moment to come and get it?"

Huo Yuhao nodded vigorously, his movements in grilling the fish becoming increasingly skillful.

"You keep grilling; I'll go check out some other food."

You Jie nodded in agreement, intending to go to other stalls to buy some food that Zhang Lexuan liked to eat.

Although they cooked together every night, occasionally sampling some street food had a unique flavor of its own.

However, before You Jie had taken a few steps, he saw a figure charging wildly through the crowd.

Judging by his trajectory, his target seemed to be Huo Yuhao's grilled fish stall.

Yet, upon seeing You Jie, that person's expression changed drastically, and he immediately came to a halt.

"Uh... isn't this Brother You Jie? Could it be that you know the person selling grilled fish?"

"Xu Sanshi, are you planning on buying some grilled fish? Sorry, but you're too late; Yuhao's fish are already sold out."

"Hey, Brother You Jie, don't go spouting nonsense with your eyes open. Isn't there still a grilled fish there that no one has bought? Why can't I buy it?"

"That fish belongs to me and Senior Sister, if you have a problem with that, go take it up with her."

"Or... Turtle Xu, are you looking to get your face punched in until you can't even open your eyes again?"

Seeing that Xu Sanshi actually dared to eye the grilled fish belonging to him and Sister Lexuan, You Jie immediately felt his fists itching. He raised his hand and cracked his knuckles, producing a series of "pop" sounds.
