Qin Feng Distributes Benefits, the Women Erupt!

At this moment, Qin Feng, who was sitting in the carriage with his eyes closed to rest, was savoring the beautiful images in the group chat with great interest.

Hu Liena's enchanting figure, Ning Rongrong's pure and naive charm, Zhu Zhuqing's cold and spicy allure, and Liu Erlong's wild maturity...

Each photo, distinct in style yet all possessing peerless beauty, appeared in his mind, instantly putting Qin Feng in an incredibly pleasant mood.

Not bad, these group perks are quite on point.

Qin Feng praised inwardly.

Since he was in a good mood, he naturally wasn't stingy.

Seeing as everyone put so much effort into showing off, I'll send out a little bonus.

With a thought, Qin Feng directly sent a large red packet into the group.

The contents were various peerless treasures he had recently obtained from system rewards, as well as those he had condensed at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well using medicinal herbs combined with his own soul power.

[Douluo People Don't Deceive Douluo People]: "Seeing how enthusiastic everyone is, I'm sending a red packet. Everyone, try your luck."

[System Notification: 'Douluo People Don't Deceive Douluo People' has sent a luck-based red packet!]

As soon as the red packet appeared, the previously quiet group chat instantly exploded.

Those who were lurking, arguing, or observing from the shadows all instinctively tapped on the red packet at almost the same time.

[System Notification: 'Little Witch' snatched a 'Ten Thousand Year Nine-Grade Ginseng King Slice'!]

[System Notification: 'Fragrant Fox' snatched a 'Heavenly Fox Body-Tempering Saliva'!]

[System Notification: 'Pope' snatched a 'Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast Inner Core Fragment'!]

[System Notification: 'My Cat Is White And Big' snatched a 'Divine Source Spirit Transformation Pill'!]

Within a second, all the red packets were snatched up.

After a brief moment of silence, the group chat began to boil.

[Little Witch]: "My god! A Ten Thousand Year Nine-Grade Ginseng King Slice? This is a peerless divine medicine that can increase soul power without side effects and improve one's physique! Long live Group Leader!"

[Fragrant Fox]: "This Heavenly Fox Body-Tempering Saliva... it can actually purify my Heavenly Fox bloodline? Group Leader, I love you to death!"

Even Bibi Dong, the Pope of Spirit Hall, lost her composure as she looked at the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast Inner Core Fragment in her inventory, which was emitting terrifying energy fluctuations.

Her noble, beautiful face was filled with shock, and the hand holding her scepter trembled slightly.

A treasure of this level, and this Group Leader just casually gave it away as a red packet?

Who exactly is he?

What kind of heaven-defying resources does he possess?

Meanwhile, far away in the Blue Lightning Academy dormitory, Zhu Zhuqing was staring blankly at the "Divine Source Spirit Transformation Pill" she had snatched, which was emitting a nine-colored halo.

The moment her consciousness touched the pill, it transformed into a stream of pure, golden energy that flowed directly into her body through her glabella.

"Boom!"

Zhu Zhuqing felt a thunderous roar echo from the depths of her soul.

An irresistible, warm force instantly swept through her entire body.

Behind her, her "Nether Spirit Cat" martial soul, which had originally emitted a dark, gloomy light, suddenly emerged uncontrollably.

But this time, the Nether Spirit Cat began to undergo a earth-shattering transformation.

Its originally pitch-black fur gradually gained a layer of starlight as deep as the night sky, and a mysterious golden rune condensed on its forehead.

Its once somewhat illusory body became incredibly solid at this moment, radiating a noble and terrifying aura that surpassed that of ordinary soul beasts.

"Meow--"

A crisp yet majestic cat cry rang out in the room.

Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes, which had now turned a pure, deep purple, as if they could see through all shadows.

Martial soul evolution!

At this moment, her Nether Spirit Cat had officially evolved into the legendary god-level martial soul—the Shadowless Spirit Cat!

Zhu Zhuqing could clearly feel that although her soul power hadn't skyrocketed instantly, her cultivation talent, agility, and control over shadow power had increased by several times!

Suppressing the ecstasy in her heart, she sent a trembling message to the group.

[My Cat Is White And Big]: "My martial soul... has evolved. It evolved into a Shadowless Spirit Cat. Thank you for your grace, Group Leader!"

This message was like a bombshell, leaving everyone in the group stunned.

[Little Witch]: "What?! Martial soul evolution?! You're not joking, right? That's martial soul evolution!"

[Gentle Fire Dragon]: "Shadowless Spirit Cat? I've lived for so many years, and I've never heard of a divine pill that can directly evolve a martial soul... Group Leader, your methods are truly extraordinary!"

[Pope]: "[Douluo People Don't Deceive Douluo People], do you have any more of these pills that can evolve martial souls? As long as you are willing to name your price, Spirit Hall can satisfy any of your conditions!"

Looking at the series of shocks and envy in the group, Qin Feng, sitting in the carriage, merely smiled slightly and offered no further explanation.

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

Only by displaying god-like methods could he force these proud women to submit to his feet, one after another.

Meanwhile, in another courtyard of the Blue Lightning Academy, the atmosphere among the Shrek group felt somewhat stifled.

Ever since they had sought refuge here, life in the academy had been difficult for them due to their previous scandals.

Dai Mubai sat on a large rock, staring at the sky in a daze.

After the repeated blows he had suffered, his reputation was now in tatters.

The once-proud Evil-Eyed White Tiger now resembled a stray dog.

Just then, he saw Zhu Zhuqing, dressed in black, walking slowly out of the distant dormitory area.

Dai Mubai's evil eyes narrowed slightly.

He keenly noticed that Zhu Zhuqing seemed somewhat different today.

Her gait had become lighter; with every step she took, her shadow on the ground would twist in a strange, uncanny way.

The cold, aloof aura that usually kept others at a distance now carried an indescribable sense of nobility and mystery, making her appear taller and more enchanting.

Dai Mubai's heart rate accelerated involuntarily.

A strong sense of crisis and possessiveness intertwined in his mind.

He took a deep breath, forcing a gentle, ingratiating smile onto his face, and walked up to her with some hesitation.

"Zhuqing, are you finished with your cultivation?"

Dai Mubai took the initiative to lower his posture, his voice sounding uncharacteristically soft.

Zhu Zhuqing stopped and looked at him coldly, saying nothing.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai hurriedly pulled an exquisite brocade box from his robes and held it out to her.

"Zhuqing, I went to Heaven Dou City today specifically to pick this Deep Sea Warm Jade Pendant out for you."

"I know you work very hard at your cultivation. This pendant has a calming effect and will be very helpful to your progress."

"Everything in the past was my fault. I promise that from now on, I will treat you twice as well. I will never let you down again."

Dai Mubai spoke with genuine sincerity, and his evil eyes even held a rare hint of pleading.

He had nothing left now; if he lost Zhu Zhuqing as well, he would truly become a laughingstock.

Watching Dai Mubai's cautious, almost fawning demeanor, Zhu Zhuqing's gaze softened slightly.

She recalled the little moments they had shared back in the Star Luo Empire.

Although this man had a history of countless misdeeds and had once cowardly run away, seeing him in such a humble state made her cold heart soften just a little.

"No need. I don't need these things."

Although Zhu Zhuqing's voice remained cold, her tone was clearly softer than before.

She walked past Dai Mubai and headed straight out of the courtyard.

Dai Mubai watched her retreating figure; despite the rejection, a flash of joy crossed his eyes.

He could sense that Zhu Zhuqing's attitude was not as resolute as it had been before.

There's a chance!

Dai Mubai clenched his fists in excitement.

Just then, a stiff, dull voice came from outside the courtyard gate.

"Why are you all gathered here? Is there no need for cultivation?"

The group turned to see Yu Xiaogang walking in with a gloomy expression.

His hands were clasped behind his back, his chin slightly raised, still maintaining the arrogant air of a self-proclaimed grandmaster.

However, ever since the Blue Lightning Academy had refused to change its name, his status in the academy had become somewhat awkward.

To re-establish his authority and help the Shrek Seven Devils regain their confidence, he had made a major decision today.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others as they gathered around, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Your training has been lax lately."

"True powerhouses cannot be cultivated in a greenhouse."

"Therefore, starting tonight, I will take you to the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena for specialized combat training."

He looked at Tang San, a stern glint in his eyes.

"Especially you, Little San. Your recent state has left me very disappointed."

"I want you to obtain the Silver Soul Badge in the Soul Arena in the shortest time possible!"

"Only by undergoing the baptism of blood and fire can you be worthy of the title 'Shrek Monsters'!"

Yu Xiaogang's tone was low, yet it carried an unquestionable air of command.

Tang San took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and a flash of gloom crossed his eyes.

"Teacher, I understand. I will never let you down again."

Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back.

He looked up at the somewhat broken crescent moon hanging over Heaven Dou City, the cool moonlight spilling onto his stiff face.

Since arriving in Heaven Dou City, Shrek Academy had suffered setback after setback; even the Blue Lightning Academy refused to change its name for him.

He desperately needed an opportunity—a chance to prove to the entire continent once more that his spirit master theory was invincible.

And the Great Soul Arena was the stage he had meticulously chosen.

He turned his head to look at Tang San, who stood behind him with a sullen expression, his voice slow and heavy.

"San, you don't need to be discouraged."

"A momentary setback counts for nothing. True powerhouses are all forged from the mire."

"As long as you make a name for yourselves in the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, the Heaven Dou royal family, and indeed the entire continent, will recognize Shrek once again."

Tang San raised his head, meeting Yu Xiaogang's gaze.

He gripped his fists so tightly that his nails nearly pierced his palms.

"Teacher, I understand."

"I will definitely make those who look down on us pay the price."

Standing at the back of the group, Zhu Zhuqing watched the mutual flattery between the master and disciple with a sense of weariness.

She touched the Deep Sea Warm Jade Pendant in her pocket, her fingers feeling slightly cold.

The image of Dai Mubai's humble, pleading demeanor kept flashing through her mind.

Had the man who once knew only how to run away in the Star Luo Empire, and only how to drown his sorrows with twins in Soto City, truly changed?

Zhu Zhuqing felt a sense of confusion.

She did not join the conversation between Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, instead silently turning and heading back to her dormitory.

She closed the door, shutting out the noise from outside.

Zhu Zhuqing leaned against the door panel, exhausted, and slowly closed her eyes.

In her mind, the interface of the mysterious Chat Group lit up.

Looking at the lingering excitement in the group from the recent red packet grab, she hesitated for a long time before finally typing a line with some trepidation.

[My Cat Is White And Big]: "Um... I have a friend."

[My Cat Is White And Big]: "Her fiancé committed many unforgivable mistakes in the past, even abandoning her to flee alone during the most dangerous moments."

[My Cat Is White And Big]: "But now, he has suddenly changed. He's become very humble, constantly begging my friend for forgiveness and even giving her many valuable items."

[My Cat Is White And Big]: "My friend is a bit confused right now. Does everyone think she should forgive him?"

The message was sent, and the previously quiet atmosphere in the group was instantly broken.

[Little Witch]: "Wow! This 'friend' you're talking about, couldn't it be yourself?"

[Little Witch]: "But honestly, this man sounds like total trash. Abandoning his fiancée to run away in a crisis? Is he even a man?"

[Fragrant Fox]: "Agreed. A man capable of abandoning his fiancée is a coward to the core."

[Fragrant Fox]: "Running back now to beg for forgiveness? He's probably failing at life elsewhere, or he saw your friend became beautiful and got lecherous ideas."

Spirit City, Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong leaned back on her throne, watching the lines Zhu Zhuqing had typed into the group, a cold, chilling sneer tugging at the corners of her mouth.

Abandonment.

Running away.

And then, putting on a display of deep affection and humble begging for forgiveness afterward.

Every single word was like a poison-tipped needle, stabbing fiercely into Bibi Dong's already scarred and battered heart.

In her mind, the cowardly and hypocritical face of Yu Xiaogang appeared unbidden.

Back then, wasn't that man exactly the same?

When faced with danger or obstacles, he lacked even the courage to resist, choosing instead to flee like a coward and leaving her alone to bear all the pain and gossip.

[Pope]: "Foolish."

[Pope]: "Don't bother making excuses for your 'friend'; you are talking about yourself."

[Pope]: "This Seat will tell you clearly: there isn't a single good man in this world. Especially those useless wastes who are cowardly in daily life, only know how to run when trouble strikes, and then come crawling back to beg for pity afterward—they aren't even worth mentioning."
