Moving In

"Move aside."

Zhao Wuji left with a dark face, the footprint on his cheek exceptionally distinct.

Li Yusong and Lu Qibin both stifled their laughter; it was rare to see the usually unyielding Zhao Wuji suffer such a setback.

The only pity was that Shao Xin and Flender were not there to witness it.

Right, there were still people testing over at Shao Xin's side.

"Old Zhao, there might be more people looking for you to test them later," Li Yusong said, seizing the chance to tease him.

"Test them yourselves if you want!" Zhao Wuji only wanted a good bath right now; he was covered in dust and dirt from head to toe.

Li Yusong found this even more amusing; the two old men were truly wicked.

Over by Jiang Jiu, Ning Rongrong let out a "Yeah!"—she, Ning Rongrong, was simply too strong.

Xiao Wu came to Jiang Jiu's side, using both hands to massage his thighs and calves through his pants.

"Xiao Jiu, are your legs alright?"

The force Jiang Jiu had unleashed just now was terrifying. It was the combined power of his and Xiao Wu's Chaotic Cloak Leg Technique. They had been pondering this move since their time at the Blacksmith Shop and had been practicing it together for years.

Their leg techniques could not only overlap in perfect sync but could also transfer force to one another; it was a small ultimate move that required precise timing and spatial coordination.

The effect of the Chaotic Cloak was excellent and its power immense, but naturally, the pressure the body had to endure was equally significant.

"I'm fine. These legs haven't been trained for all these years for nothing."

"Mm, they really aren't injured." After confirming this, Xiao Wu's mindset shifted from worry to relaxation, and she began to take some liberties.

Although Jiang Jiu's muscles were still engorged with blood, making his quadriceps look incredibly explosive and his posterior chain muscles equally impressive, it was just a normal phenomenon—that was what happened when one exerted force too violently.

"Wow, so amazing! Can I touch them?"

"Uh, never mind then."

On the field, Ning Rongrong was the most relaxed. She had consumed a bit more soul power, but since she hadn't encountered any real confrontation, she remained full of energy.

Thus, she naturally ran over to Xiao Wu, a sister she considered herself close to, but then became captivated by Jiang Jiu's legs. Just as she wanted to poke them, she was met with Xiao Wu's gaze, which was filled with intense pressure.

The idea of them being "good sisters" was clearly just an illusion.

On the other side, Zhu Zhuqing, who had been left aside by Xiao Wu, silently stood up.

In truth, she had suffered the most injuries during the assessment, followed by Tang San, whose Blue Silver Grass had been snapped apart. However, Zhao Wuji had been careful with his strength, so the injuries weren't severe; she would recover after resting for a while.

But what truly wounded her was her own performance.

She could not accept being this weak.

She looked over at Jiang Jiu's group, which had returned to a harmonious atmosphere.

"That should be about enough, right?"

Feeling more and more eyes on them, Jiang Jiu tapped Xiao Wu on the head; her technique was becoming increasingly inappropriate.

"Hehe."

Seeing the sweet smile on Xiao Wu's face, Ning Rongrong even doubted if what she had just seen was merely her own imagination.

At this moment, the two teachers, Li Yusong and Lu Qibin, walked over.

"From now on, you are all students of our Shrek Academy. Classes officially start tomorrow."

"Little Ao, take them to get settled in."

Seeing that Xiao Wu and the others had no objections and agreed to enroll, Li Yusong breathed a silent sigh of relief.

Leaving the task of leading them to their quarters to Oscar, Li Yusong and his companion headed straight for Shao Xin; how could they not share such a brilliant assessment with their colleague?

Once Flender returned tonight or tomorrow, they would have to share it all over again.

Back on the spot.

"Fellow junior sisters, oh, and junior brother, I'll take you to the dorms."

Having watched the entire test, Oscar had become much more well-behaved.

The two yellow and one purple soul rings that appeared after Xiao Wu activated her martial soul were too dazzling. Combined with Jiang Jiu, they were clearly a violent duo—just look at how they had tossed Teacher Zhao around, let alone his own fragile frame.

He didn't dare spout any nonsense for the time being; he would wait until they were more familiar with each other.

"These wooden houses here are the area where you girls will be staying. You can pick two rooms," Oscar said, pointing to a specific area.

"Can girls only live with girls?" Xiao Wu blinked and asked.

"Otherwise, do you want to live with the boys?"

Oscar replied subconsciously, but suddenly realized something was wrong.

Asking if one could live with the opposite sex—wasn't that the kind of thing people like them should be asking? Whether it was him, Oscar, or Ma Hongjun.

What was the situation with Xiao Wu, a girl, asking that? Did she want to cohabit with some man?

"Then where do the boys live?" Xiao Wu continued to ask.

Oscar pointed to the wooden houses a few dozen meters to the right.

"Our boys' dormitory area is over there. Since I'm living alone, we'll be roommates from now on," Oscar said, nodding his head toward Tang San.

Tang San looked toward Jiang Jiu.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to share a room with Oscar, but if two boys were going to live together, it was obviously better for him and Jiang Jiu to room together.

"Xiao Jiu~" Xiao Wu began to exert her influence.

She was even more confident than Jiang Jiu; he could live in the girls' dormitory without anyone discovering anything. After all, he had the "prestige" of being led by all the sales clerks to buy camisoles at a lingerie shop.

Moreover, looking at the current situation, there hadn't been any of the usual commotion over Xiao Jiu's appearance, so things were very stable.

They just needed to endure a little, and once they moved in, everything would be fine.

But Jiang Jiu had his own ideas.

"Can I rent a house here?"

"Rent?" Oscar scratched his head. Why would someone want to rent a house when there were perfectly good dorms? The dormitory fees were already included in the tuition.

Living in the dorm was one thing, but if you mentioned renting, Flender would surely be thrilled.

"Yes, I have a hobby of blacksmithing and need a forge."

"Uh, that's certainly a unique hobby."

No wonder he was so strong.

As for Jiang Jiu's question, Oscar didn't even need to think about it before replying, "Based on my understanding of our Dean, as long as you pay, you can do whatever you want."

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. Why bother with the dorms? She and Xiao Jiu could just continue to rent the same room together.

"Let's go find the Dean!"

Xiao Wu grabbed Jiang Jiu's hand and prepared to bolt.

"Do you know where the Dean is?"

Xiao Wu, having just launched herself into motion, swerved right back into Jiang Jiu's arms.

"Oh, right." Xiao Wu had no choice but to act cute.

"We can rent our own place? But I really wanted to have a roommate and experience dormitory life."

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were both people who weren't short on money. The two of them had even brought storage soul tools with them when they ran away, making them much wealthier than Jiang Jiu and the others.

Although she wasn't short on money, Ning Rongrong still quite wanted a girl as a roommate.

It had to be said that as proud as Ning Rongrong was, she actually quite wanted to make friends with the girls around her. After all, their talents weren't bad, and they would be people of the same world on the path of a soul master in the future.

Among them, Xiao Wu was the most suitable, but she and Jiang Jiu were basically joined at the hip.

That left only Zhu Zhuqing.

Well, actually, living alone was quite nice too.

"Let's go find the Dean together!" Ning Rongrong quickly changed her mind.

Zhu Zhuqing also nodded silently. In truth, she preferred being alone; she would feel a bit reserved having any girl as a roommate.

"But the Dean isn't here right now."

Oscar felt a headache coming on. It was just moving into a dormitory, wasn't it? How did such a small matter suddenly become so troublesome!
