Story, Beating Up Shrek Students?

"Xue Liushuang, martial soul: Ice Sword, Level Forty-Two Power Attack System Soul Elder."

"Weng Daimin, martial soul: Ice, Level Thirty-Eight Control System Soul Venerable."

"Jian Mochen, martial soul: Sky Tiger Shield, Level Forty-One Defense System Soul Elder."

After the three introduced themselves, Yun Ze gave a brief introduction as well. "Yun Ze, martial soul: Phoenix, Level Twenty-Eight Power Attack System Grand Soul Master."

Xue Liushaung, Weng Daimin, and Jian Mochen had never interacted with Yun Ze before. When they heard his Soul Power Level, their eyes widened in shock.

Six months ago, when Yun Ze fought Long Chen, he had seemed to be only Level Twenty-Two. Now he was already Level Twenty-Eight? One level per month? "Liushaung, explain the effects of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill between you and Daimin," said the director of instruction, bringing the three back from their surprise.

"Alright." Xue Liushaung agreed. After calming herself, she began explaining the Martial Soul Fusion Skill she shared with Weng Daimin.

After more than ten minutes, everyone had gained a basic understanding of their teammates' abilities and arranged some tactics. Then Gu Yue Na and Yun Ze temporarily left the lounge.

Inside a secluded room, Yun Ze looked questioningly at Gu Yue Na. The room contained only the two of them.

"One of Shrek Academy's students carries the Golden Dragon King Bloodline. It shares the same origin as mine, and I want to extract and absorb it," Gu Yue Na said simply.

"You're worried that moving against that student will provoke Shrek Academy's anger and have an adverse effect on us?" Yun Ze asked.

He did not act like an overly curious child and ask about the Golden Dragon King. He did not care about that.

It was enough for him to know that the bloodline was useful to Gu Yue Na, that she wanted to extract and absorb it, and that doing so might offend Shrek Academy. That was the point of her words.

Gu Yue Na had already prepared to explain the Golden Dragon King's origins to Yun Ze, but she had not expected him not to ask. Everything she had prepared turned into one word. "Mm."

"Just have Di Tian do it more discreetly. As long as there's no concrete evidence, Shrek Academy won't be able to pin it on us."

"Besides, even if they know we did it, it doesn't matter much. It won't have much impact on our plan to infiltrate the Federation. We never expected Shrek Academy to support us in the Federation Election anyway. If they become enemies, then they become enemies," Yun Ze said indifferently.

"Then I'm relieved. Once they leave the academy, I'll have Di Tian secretly capture him," Gu Yue Na said, a little excited.

"Oh, right. Don't you want to hear the story of the Golden Dragon King?" After being happy for a moment, Gu Yue Na asked.

"Mm... if you want to tell it, then go ahead. There's still quite a while before the competition begins, so listening to a story isn't bad," Yun Ze said.

"Alright." Gu Yue Na smiled, pulled Yun Ze to sit on the sofa, and began telling her story.

"I only told you before that my true body is the Silver Dragon King, but I never told you my specific origins. Now, I'll tell you properly."

"Long ago, there was a supreme god in the Divine Realm named the Dragon God. He was the common ruler of soul beasts and also the most powerful god in the Divine Realm. His power surpassed that of the Five Great Divine Kings..."

As Gu Yue Na told the story, she was also reliving the memories. She spoke of the beautiful time when soul beasts and humans lived together in the Divine Realm, and of the conflicts that accumulated between the two races until they finally erupted into a tragic war.

Her emotions shifted along with the story. There was joy and sorrow, and she completely immersed herself in it.

Yun Ze, however, remained expressionless, entirely in the role of an observer. He felt neither joy nor sorrow for either side. He had heard and seen far too many cruel scenes like this and had long become accustomed to them.

Among all the cruel scenes he had heard of and witnessed, the battle Gu Yue Na described would rank near the bottom.

"Later, the Dragon God's body was severed by the Asura God and split into two, becoming the Silver Dragon King and the Golden Dragon King."

"The Silver Dragon King is me. As for where the Golden Dragon King is, I don't know. When I escaped the Divine Realm, he had not yet left, so I don't know what happened to him. I only know that he isn't dead."

"He may be in the Divine Realm now, or he may be on the continent."

She paused before adding, "He may even be within a Shrek student."

This was only her guess. She still did not know the exact situation. Only after capturing that person and studying him carefully could she find the answer.

Yun Ze now had a basic understanding of their origins. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "If that person really is the Golden Dragon King in human form, who do you think Di Tian and the others would side with—him or you?"

"Hm?" Gu Yue Na froze, not expecting Yun Ze to ask that. She lowered her head and carefully considered the meaning of his words.

"You're worried that Di Tian and the others might betray me?" Gu Yue Na looked at Yun Ze, her eyes bright.

"Even if they remain neutral, it won't do you any good. It might even lead to you being devoured instead," Yun Ze said.

"You're worried about me?" Gu Yue Na smiled like a blooming flower, her train of thought taking an abrupt turn.

"It's just the ordinary concern between friends," Yun Ze said flatly.

"Oh..." Gu Yue Na sounded somewhat disappointed, drawing out the word. She looked adorable, completely unlike her usual cold and aloof self.

Then she said with confidence and seriousness, "Don't worry. Di Tian and the others have followed me for hundreds of thousands of years. They will absolutely stand firmly by my side. What you described will never happen."

"It's good that you're confident," Yun Ze said in the same calm tone. "There's one more thing you need to watch out for. When you devour him, remember to completely erase his soul."

"Otherwise, after devouring him, you may no longer be yourself."

Yun Ze said something difficult to understand. It took Gu Yue Na quite some time to grasp what he meant, and her expression turned grave.

With the Sun Moon Royal Academy mobilizing all sorts of resources, news of Shrek Academy coming to provoke the Sun Moon Royal Academy spread at an unimaginable speed. In less than half an hour, it became a major trending story with enormous attention. The Sun Moon Royal Academy launched official livestreams on every major streaming platform, with an eye-catching title: "Shrek Academy's Rude Provocation, Sun Moon Royal Academy Furiously Takes Them On—Six-Year-Old Student Beats Them Up Live."

The moment many people saw the title, their interest was piqued. Curious, they entered the livestream to see what was going on. Such explosive footage could not be missed. Calling it a once-in-a-thousand-years, or even once-in-ten-thousand-years, occurrence would not be an exaggeration.

Most people on the continent were ordinary people. They could not cultivate, but that did not mean they did not know of Shrek Academy. This academy was renowned throughout the continent, and stories about it and the Tang Sect were household tales, widely passed down.

Precisely because they knew how formidable this academy was, the title drew the attention of the entire population. They all wanted to know how a six-year-old student would beat up Shrek Academy's students. Many soul master factions also joined in the excitement. Although they felt the title was somewhat exaggerated and arrogant, deep down, they were quite eager to see it.
