(Wang Dong'er illustration)
Star Dou Great Forest.
The female Man Faced Demon Spider snapped out of its brief confusion. Bracing herself on her eight legs, she lifted her entire body from the ground.
She lowered her head and looked herself over:
She was another size larger than before. Faint dark-golden patterns flowed across her carapace, while her eight compound eyes flickered with terrifying red light.
One hundred thousand years!
She had actually broken through to the one-hundred-thousand-year level!
No... it was more than just her cultivation...
She suddenly sensed that something seemed to have appeared within her already powerful sea of consciousness.
Focusing inward,
She saw an illusory figure with long blue hair curled up quietly in a corner of her sea of consciousness, "sleeping."
That aura...
The aura unique to Blue Silver Grass!
And that face she loathed to the bone.
All eight of the Man Faced Demon Spider's compound eyes widened at once, bloodshot veins spreading through them.
Tang San!!!
There was no mistake—it was Tang San!
She had no idea why his divine sense had ended up in her mind, but that was not important.
What mattered was this:
Tang San's divine sense was now as weak as a dead dog. It was still sealed and deeply asleep.
The Man Faced Demon Spider laughed.
All eight of her legs trembled with excitement.
Without hesitation, she conjured a thick vine and bound Tang San's divine sense tightly.
"Who would have thought!"
She conjured another vine and lashed it out. With a sharp smack, it struck Tang San's divine sense.
"Tang San! You actually delivered yourself to me!"
Smack! Smack! Smack!
Each lash was harsher than the last.
"It may not be your true body, but it's still an avatar, right? Once this divine sense wakes up, you'll be in agony too, won't you? Hehehehe!"
The Man Faced Demon Spider whipped him to her heart's content.
It felt unbelievably satisfying.
The hatred of her clan's extermination ten thousand years ago could not be eased even if she whipped him to death!
Only when she grew tired from whipping him did she stop, panting heavily.
At last, she could take human form!
What she did not know was that a strange impulse had appeared within her body,
Urging her to head toward Shrek Academy.
That impulse came from Tang San's divine sense.
Tang San wanted to find the child of destiny chosen by Douluo Continent!
Over the next two days, Wang Dong'er pestered Lin Ye every day to make milk tea for her.
Lin Ye only gave her one cup a day. He knew drinking too much was not good for her.
Though Wang Dong'er was dissatisfied, she had no choice but to obediently listen to him.
On the third day, classes began.
That morning, Wang Dong'er climbed out from under her covers and rubbed her eyes.
She was not even up that late, yet Lin Ye was still sleeping soundly in the bed across from hers.
If he kept sleeping, they would be late.
She walked over and called to him, "Lin Ye, wake up. Wake up."
No response.
She raised her voice. "Wake up! We have class today!"
Still no response.
Wang Dong'er stood there with her hands on her hips for a while, thinking, People used to sleeping in really do have trouble getting up early...
But even after she called him several times, Lin Ye did not move at all.
"Serves you right for sleeping in!"
Wang Dong'er yanked back his blanket!
There was a notebook inside.
A large Chinese character for "too" was written across it, sprawled wide open.
And then...
The dot beneath the character—no, more accurately, the vertical stroke of the character for "wood"—came into view.
Wang Dong'er cried out and covered her eyes with both hands.
But she could not resist secretly peeking through her fingers again.
Oh my god, what kind of character was that?
It was... it was way too big, wasn't it?
So that was what it looked like???
Why... was it still standing upright in three dimensions...
Lin Ye shifted, seeming about to wake up.
Frightened, Wang Dong'er turned and ran. She shot out of the dormitory like an arrow, leaned against the hallway wall, and clutched her chest as her heart pounded so hard it felt ready to explode.
Her face was red, and her heart raced.
Her mind was filled with what she had just seen.
I'm done for, I'm done for, I'm done for...
I didn't see anything! I didn't see anything!
Lin Ye woke groggily and went to breakfast with Wang Dong'er.
For some reason, though, Wang Dong'er kept avoiding his gaze. She stammered when she spoke, and even the tips of her ears were faintly pink.
What was wrong with this girl today?
Lin Ye scratched his head and did not think much of it.
Before long, the two were seated in the classroom.
The room was full of girls.
After all, with two handsome guys sitting there, it was impossible not to draw attention.
In front, behind, left, and right, eyes were sneaking glances at them everywhere.
As class was about to begin, a young man wearing a black hood walked in.
With both hands in his pockets and his eyes fixed straight ahead, he headed directly for the podium.
A sharp-eyed student recognized him. "Isn't that Brother Killer from registration day?"
"What is he going to pull this time?"
"Why isn't he wearing a uniform? Is he trying to look cool with that black hood?"
"So Tang!"
Huo Yuhao stood on the podium with his hands in his pockets, expressionless.
But inwardly, he was already in turmoil:
This time, the reward is a Soul Bone!
I've never even seen what a Soul Bone looks like!
They say they're one-in-ten-thousand treasures among soul masters—priceless rarities!
And this mission isn't even difficult!
He took a deep breath.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, he slowly extended both hands.
He raised them to his chest.
Then...
He began DJing in midair!
His hands fluttered up and down, swiped left and right, while he bobbed his head and made his own "boots-and-cats" sound effects.
His movements flowed smoothly, full of rhythm.
The entire classroom instantly fell silent.
Everyone was stunned.
Their mouths hung open in O-shapes, their eyes wide as bells.
What... what was he doing?
DJing?
DJing in midair??
After three seconds of silence, someone in the corner finally failed to hold back a laugh. "Pfft—"
Then the entire classroom erupted.
"Hahahahaha—"
"This guy is insane!"
"Brother Killer truly lives up to his name!"
"Help, my toes have already dug out a three-bedroom apartment!"
Huo Yuhao's expression did not change as he continued DJing.
For a Soul Bone, what was a little public humiliation?
At last, Huo Yuhao completed the midair DJing mission while enduring the crushing embarrassment.
A system panel popped up before him:
[Ding! B-rank mission completed!] [Reward: Top-grade rare · Two-and-a-Half-Year Chicken Claw Left Leg Bone!]
Huo Yuhao remained expressionless on the surface, but inwardly he screamed wildly: Yes!
A Soul Bone! It really was a Soul Bone!
Meanwhile, Lin Ye received a notification as well:
[Huo Yuhao completed a mission. Points obtained: 25] [One draw opportunity obtained!]
Sitting in his seat, Lin Ye's lips curled slightly upward.
Not bad, not bad. This kid worked pretty hard.
Just then, someone entered through the classroom door.
Dressed in white robes, an elderly woman with a straight back strode step by step to the podium.
At Shrek Academy, colors symbolized status.
White represented new students.
The white robe on the elderly woman represented her status as a new student teacher.
Her icy gaze swept over the classroom, and the previously noisy room instantly fell quiet.
You could hear a pin drop.
Everyone understood that she had to be Zhou Yi, the homeroom teacher of Class One.
The legendary deranged old hag.
Here she came, here she came. The show was about to start!
Everyone waited to see how Huo Yuhao would be reprimanded.
He had just been DJing in midair on the podium. Hadn't he walked right into the line of fire?
Zhou Yi walked to the side of the podium, her gaze landing on Huo Yuhao.
The classroom was silent as a grave, and some people were already struggling not to laugh.
However...
