The streets are busy with traffic and shops. The air is filled with the aroma of food, the sound of metal knocking, and the various Soul Power waves inadvertently emitted by Soul Masters, mixing into a symphony full of vitality.
Especially at the main entrance of the college, the road leading to hope and glory, there is now a long queue with no end in sight.
They were young and energetic faces, with longing for the future, nervousness about the unknown, and the purest awe of the three words Shrek in their eyes.
They are the new students this year, coming from all over the mainland, with their own dreams in mind, hoping to start their own legend here.
Unknowingly, sisters Yin Chen, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo have gone from being part of this long dragon to veteran students who are looked upon with envy by the freshmen at the tail of the dragon.
The school uniforms they wear are no longer pure white, which represents freshmen, but have been replaced by bright yellow, which symbolizes the status of sophomores.
This is not only a change in color, but also a symbol of status and qualifications.
"Hello, senior, hello, senior."
The three of them walked to the door and greeted the third-year seniors who were responsible for guiding the new students familiarly.
When the seniors saw it was them, they all smiled and nodded in response. Their eyes stayed on Yin Chen for a moment longer, with a bit of inquiry and respect.
Yin Chen is a popular figure among Outer Court, and its popularity is even higher than that of Outer Court Twin Stars Xu Sanshi and Beibei.
Under the eyes of the freshmen who were mixed with envy, curiosity and awe, the three of them passed through the grand school gate and officially entered the campus for the new semester.
The roads in the college are lined with towering old trees and lush greenery, forming a sharp contrast with the hustle and bustle of the city.
Their destination was no longer the white teaching building from last year, but a teaching building made entirely of yellow rocks located deeper in the college.
It is taller and more primitive than Freshman Teaching Building, as if it is silently telling that the students who come out of this place have lost their childishness and begun to truly embark on the path of becoming strong.
When Yin Chen opened the door of second grade Class One's classroom, many people were already inside.
In the spacious classroom, students in twos and threes gathered together, excitedly discussing their experiences during the holidays.
Most of them are students who are originally from Shrek City, or who choose to stay in school during the holidays to study hard.
Yin Chen glanced around and found that he came back relatively late.
His eyes quickly locked on a small group by the window.
Zhou Sichen was bragging about something to a few people, while Gu Yuena was sitting quietly in her seat, holding her chin with one hand, looking at the scenery outside the window. Her cool temperament made it seem like a quiet realm had formed around her.
Ye Guyi, on the other hand, was like a restless butterfly, shuttling between several people, and bursting out with crisp laughter from time to time.
Seeing Yin Chen and the others coming in, Ye Guyi's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had found a new target, and he immediately jumped up to meet them.
"Yin Chen, Susu, Luoluo, you are finally back."
The little angel was as enthusiastic as ever. She opened her arms and gave Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo a big hug, then turned to look at Yin Chen.
Yin Chen's eyes fell on her, and his heterochromatic pupils narrowed slightly.
In his perception, Ye Guyi at this moment is like a bottle that has just been filled with water. The water surface is still shaking slightly and has not completely calmed down.
The Soul Power fluctuations in her body were extremely active, and there were even signs of overflow that were difficult to completely contain.
That sacred and pure aura is more solid and powerful than at the end of last semester.
This is a typical characteristic of someone who has just completed a major breakthrough and has not yet had time to completely stabilize his cultivation.
"As expected of you, you have seen all this."
When Ye Guyi saw Yin Chen just staring at him without speaking, he knew that his changes would definitely not be hidden from him.
She proudly put her hands on her slender waist and raised her chin slightly, like a proud little peacock.
"That's right, I have exceeded level 40, and now I am Soul Ancestor."
"Look how proud you are."
Yin Chen looked at her look of wanting to tell the world, feeling annoyed and amused, he stretched out his finger and lightly tapped her smooth forehead in annoyance.
"Why so fast? During this month's holiday, have you taken drugs?"
Of course, the so-called drug abuse is just a joke.
With Ye Guyi's arrogant temperament, it is absolutely impossible to improve his strength in a way that damages his foundation.
Yin Chen It almost takes no guessing to know that Qian Renxue must be behind this.
For Holy Angel Martial Soul, there is no faster way to practice than purifying evil, whether it is Evil Soul Master or Nirvana Corpse.
"Why are you taking drugs?"
Ye Guyi covered his forehead and glared at him dissatisfied.
"Am I the kind of person who has no foresight? It's not like you don't know my Martial Soul Talent. I was lucky during the holidays and met a few Nirvana Corpse without eyes, which happened to be purified by me. The Soul Power just increased on its own."
She said it in an understatement, but Yin Chen could imagine the danger involved.
Nirvana Corpse is not a lamb to be slaughtered. It allows her to obtain a huge Soul Power that is enough to break through the bottleneck. The enemies she faces are by no means ordinary people.
But with Qian Renxue here, it's not too dangerous.
"Of course I know, you are lucky."
Yin Chen smiled and did not expose her.
His eyes turned and fell on the silver-haired figure not far away who was always quiet.
"I actually let you catch up with Gu Yue's progress."
Compared with Ye Guyi's breath of Soul Power that almost overflows, the breath of Gu Yuena is like a deep pool, smooth and restrained, without any leakage.
But Yin Chen can be sure that under the calm water, there is a power that is vaster and deeper than before.
Not only did she break through level 40, but she probably broke through much earlier than Ye Guyi, and she had completely stabilized her level.
"That's right."
Ye Guyi said excitedly, completely unaware of the profound meaning of Yin Chen's words. She ran to Gu Yuena and held her arm affectionately.
"Gu Yue also broke through. How about it? It's awesome."
She clasped her fingers and counted excitedly:
"Along with you, a pervert, me, and Gu Yue, our class now has three Soul Ancestors."
As soon as these words came out, the classroom fell silent for a moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on him, with shock, envy, and a hint of disbelief.
You know, for the Shrek Academy students, they can advance to the second grade at the age of twelve or thirteen, while most Soul Power students are still hovering between level 25 and level 30.
Even Dai Huabin, who is said to have been practicing hard during the holidays, will only reach level 36. He is still far away from the threshold of level 40, Soul Ancestor.
