A Twisted Sense of Humor, Shrek's Inherited Running Training

Ouyang Zixin took the Communication Soul Device and stared blankly at the newly added name, Leng Hanyuan, in her contact list.

So his name is Leng Hanyuan?

What a lovely name.

"Still daydreaming, are you?"

A fair palm slapped Ouyang Zixin's shoulder without warning.

The sudden contact startled Ouyang Zixin, who was still lost in her thoughts.

Seeing the beautiful girl who had popped up from behind her, Ouyang Zixin blushed and let out a soft cry:

"Mu Xi!"

Mu Xi smiled triumphantly.

She then looked at her good friend with a hint of surprise.

"Zixin, I never expected you to actually go up and get his contact information!"

Her gaze was as if she were looking at something truly incredible.

Mu Xi knew Ouyang Zixin's personality well.

Taking the initiative to approach a boy and ask for his contact information was truly difficult for her.

She never imagined she would actually go through with it.

"Mmm..."

Ouyang Zixin blushed, clutching the Communication Soul Device to her chest.

She didn't even know how she had managed to do it just now.

She had simply felt a rush of heat to her head and walked over.

Sometimes, the impulses of youth are just that unreasonable, capable of making people do things completely out of character.

Although she had never met Leng Hanyuan before, the moment that sharp, angular face entered her field of vision, it had left a deep mark on the bottom of Ouyang Zixin's heart.

To put it romantically, it was love at first sight.

To put it plainly, it was being captivated by his looks.

After all, Leng Hanyuan's face, paired with the temperament of a quasi-god-level powerhouse, was lethally attractive to a young girl like Ouyang Zixin, who was just beginning to understand the stirrings of love.

Unaware of the conversation between the two girls, Gu Yue cast a strange look at Leng Hanyuan beside her.

"Is that the type you like?"

During their time at the Spirit Transmission Pagoda, Gu Yue had seen no shortage of female staff members coming over to curry favor with him.

There were even more who had asked for his contact information.

Yet, Leng Hanyuan had never paid any of them any mind.

She had originally assumed that Ouyang Zixin would meet the same fate as those female staff members.

She hadn't expected Leng Hanyuan to actually agree.

Therefore, in Gu Yue's eyes, Leng Hanyuan's behavior was naturally interpreted as him having a preference for youthful, vibrant girls like Ouyang Zixin.

"No, I just found it interesting, that's all."

Leng Hanyuan shook his head, a mischievous smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

The reason he had agreed to give Ouyang Zixin his contact information wasn't because he had taken a fancy to this school beauty.

It was merely a casual act driven by his own dark sense of humor, knowing her identity as Tang Wulin's "white moonlight" senior.

She didn't understand.

As the embodiment of the Dragon God's wisdom, Gu Yue couldn't grasp the meaning behind Leng Hanyuan's words at all.

She shook her head and withdrew her gaze.

After spending this time together, Leng Hanyuan often said things she couldn't comprehend, and Gu Yue had more or less grown accustomed to it.

She couldn't see through this human at all.

She stopped in her tracks, seemingly sensing something, and turned her gaze toward the East Sea Academy playground nearby.

Leng Hanyuan followed her gaze.

Two figures were running on the playground, both wearing iron vests made of chains.

Leng Hanyuan understood immediately.

The better-looking boy was most likely the original protagonist, the son of the Tang God King, Tang Wulin.

As for the boy beside him, he should be Xie Xie, the wielder of the twin-dagger martial soul.

They were likely undergoing that running training again.

This has always been a tradition at Shrek Academy.

Starting from the generation of Tang San, it has been running drills.

By the time of the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, ten thousand years later, it was still running drills.

Now, twenty thousand years later, this running drill is still present.

One can only say that this is the educational style inherited by Shrek Academy.

Teachers may come and go, but the running remains constant!

At this moment, Wu Zhangkong, who was watching Tang Wulin and his companion train from the side of the track, also noticed the presence of Leng Hanyuan and Gu Yue, who were not wearing school uniforms.

He frowned and walked over.

"Which class are you from?"

"We aren't from any class; we missed the enrollment period," Gu Yue replied indifferently.

Although her plans had shifted slightly because of Leng Hanyuan, the general outline remained unchanged.

She had to join East Sea Academy first, using it as an opportunity to make Tang Wulin reveal the inherent flaws of humanity.

This would cause Na'er to lose hope, allowing her to return to a complete state with a flawless soul.

"You aren't students of East Sea Academy?"

Wu Zhangkong's brows furrowed.

According to school regulations, he should have chased them away right then and there.

However, his intuition told Wu Zhangkong that neither of the two people before him was simple.

Especially the young man who stood there with a smile on his lips, watching Tang Wulin and his companion run with an expression of keen interest.

Although his temperament was as refreshing as a spring breeze and he showed no other signs of hostility, he made Wu Zhangkong feel a faint, lingering pressure.

"Well, she isn't."

"But she will be soon."

Leng Hanyuan withdrew his gaze and chuckled softly.

"Do you have the contact information for the leadership of your East Sea Academy?"

He looked at Wu Zhangkong, and the way he looked at him—as if looking at a junior—made Wu Zhangkong feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Under normal circumstances, given his personality, he naturally would not have bothered with such a request.

But for some reason, as if Leng Hanyuan's words contained some kind of irresistible magic, Wu Zhangkong broke his usual habits and actually nodded.

"Then please do me a favor and call him, tell him to come over here."

"Mm." Wu Zhangkong responded coldly.

Subconsciously, he took out his Communication Soul Device from his pocket and dialed the number of Principal Yu Zhen.

It wasn't until he heard Yu Zhen's voice coming from the device that Wu Zhangkong suddenly snapped back to his senses!

He looked at Leng Hanyuan with eyes full of astonishment.

His heart was in a state of turmoil, shocked beyond measure.

What was going on?

How could he have obeyed this person's instructions without any resistance?

"Teacher Wu, is something the matter?"

Principal Yu Zhen's voice came through the Communication Soul Device.

He seemed puzzled that Wu Zhangkong had called but remained silent.

However, because of Wu Zhangkong's special status, Yu Zhen was quite patient.

Suppressing the turbulent emotions in his heart, Wu Zhangkong hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Principal, someone wants to see you."

"At the academy's south track."

With that, Wu Zhangkong ended the call.

It was as concise and to the point as he always was.

Putting the Communication Soul Device back into his pocket, Wu Zhangkong looked at Leng Hanyuan with many new emotions in his eyes.

Inquiry, wariness, vigilance...

The level of mystery surrounding this smiling young man had been infinitely magnified in Wu Zhangkong's mind.

This guy...

Who exactly is he?

Not caring about Wu Zhangkong's gaze, Leng Hanyuan smiled slightly:

"Thanks."

The method he used was simple.

It was the same technique he had applied to the old gatekeeper.

He used his spiritual power to subtly interfere with the man's perception.

Although Wu Zhangkong's strength was far beyond what that old gatekeeper could compare to...

In front of Leng Hanyuan...

It made little difference.
