Shrek Tryouts, the Forgotten Little Dragon God

Dong Qianqiu covered her eyes, but the gaps were so large they seemed big enough to fit an egg. She was about to shout, but when she saw Lin Yuan wearing a white bathrobe, she was immediately disappointed.

Lin Yuan:?

Why does your tone sound so off?

"Who said I'm not wearing clothes?"

"Then why did you say you weren't dressed properly?"

"A bathrobe is considered a fine garment?"

Dong Qianqiu:...

"Wait!" Lin Yuan's eyes immediately became wary as he looked at Dong Qianqiu.

"You don't think I'm not wearing anything and you're trying to take advantage of me, do you?"

"Who wants to take advantage of you! Get lost, get lost, hmph!"

Dong Qianqiu's cheeks flushed instantly. She let out a soft hum, nudged Lin Yuan slightly with her head, and strode quickly into the room with her long, slender legs.

With a snap.

Dong Qianqiu took the backpack off her shoulder. The backpack seemed a bit heavy, and the straps digging into her delicate skin revealed faint red and white marks.

Dong Qianqiu took out a tissue from her pocket, wiped the sweat from her face and forehead, and threw it into the trash can.

"Didn't I ask you to go to the flower shop and buy some flowers and plants? Why are you so late?"

Lin Yuan stepped forward and, at Dong Qianqiu's prompting, opened the backpack. Inside was a white flower, perched diagonally on a verdant stem, its edges slightly curled up, its petals so thin they were almost translucent, a testament to the meticulous care its owner had given it.

Good heavens, it seems this was carefully cultivated by Dong Qianqiu...

Is it a bit wasteful to use it for collapse experiments?

Dong Qianqiu said softly:

"I'm going back to my dorm."

Actually, at first, Dong Qianqiu really wanted to just go back to the flower shop and buy some flowers and plants.

However, for some reason, she inexplicably ran back to her dormitory from the Tiandou Hotel to bring her favorite white flower. The round trip took a whole afternoon, and she was completely numb from riding the Soul Guidance Bus.

Dong Qianqiu also regretted going back to the dormitory, but seeing how carefully Lin Yuan treated the white flower, Dong Qianqiu felt that even a long bus ride was worth it.

Splash!

Dong Qianqiu rummaged through her schoolbag and handed a handbook to Lin Yuan.

"This is my log of cultivating this flower since I bought it. You can refer to it if you're interested in growing one."

Dong Qianqiu sat next to Lin Yuan, and a pleasant, mysterious scent wafted from Lin Yuan.

Dong Qianqiu subtly flicked her blue hair and continued wiping the sweat from her forehead with a tissue.

This weather is getting hotter and hotter!

Seeing Lin Yuan pick up the log and start reading it, Dong Qianqiu kept observing Lin Yuan.

But as Lin Yuan read the words from the diary, Dong Qianqiu's expression froze.

"On July 15th, Lin Yuan held a concert on Tianluo Planet, and his song 'Kingdom of Eden' was so captivating..."

Snap!

Before Lin Yuan could finish reading, Dong Qianqiu snatched it away, looking embarrassed and annoyed.

"Don't look! Don't read!"

Lin Yuan: "... Oh."

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

At this point, Dong Qianqiu blushed and left as if fleeing.

Before long, Lin Yuan heard Lan Mengqin's question through his Divine Power:

"Hey, Qianqiu, you're out so late? I just saw you carrying your schoolbag and protecting it with your Soul Power. It looked exhausting. What is that?"

"... It's nothing, just some of my documents. Mengqin, let's go eat."

"Oh, okay, okay!" Lan Mengqin exclaimed excitedly.

"How about we name him Lin Yuan?"

"Don't want!"

Lin Yuan:...

As the two women's voices faded into the distance, Lin Yuan couldn't help but recall the contents of Dong Qianqiu's diary once more.

I was supposed to be recording this flower, but I ended up...

Pooh!

This 100,000-year-old shark is really going down!

Then, Lin Yuan slightly restrained his Divine Power and focused all his attention on the flower.

Lin Yuan played with the flower petals while pondering.

Logically speaking, this white flower should also have a bloodline, so I should be able to use my third Soul Skill to collapse its bloodline and thus achieve the effect of reversion to my ancestral form.

Collapsed bloodline – this was Lin Yuan's planned path for cultivating his third Soul Skill.

Lin Yuan acted immediately upon thinking of it, directly using [Supernova Explosion] on the flower. Because it was necessary to collapse the bloodline, Lin Yuan also entered the flower's spiritual world, found the bloodline, and focused the collapse of the Supernova Explosion mainly on the bloodline.

Because this flower is far too weak; it's not even Soul Beast.

It couldn't be easier for it to collapse.

But soon, Lin Yuan couldn't hold back anymore.

When the flower's veins shrank to half its original size, it suddenly became uncontrollable and began to grow wildly, gradually becoming more abstract.

Back to reality.

The once beautiful Xiao Bai has now sprouted a pair of bright red lips, its petals covered in freckles, and the liquid that flows out is viscous and disgusting.

"Holy crap, what is this thing?!"

Seeing such a disgusting thing, Lin Yuan couldn't hold back any longer and sent it to meet Ah Yin with a single Shinra Tensei.

After doing all this, Lin Yuan lay back down on the bed, his expression gradually becoming serious.

Sure enough, if I want to achieve bloodline reversion, the object itself must be powerful enough; otherwise, it will be like that flower from before—exploding would be the best outcome, or worse, I'd turn into a monster!

At this moment, Lin Yuan felt extremely fortunate that he had not admitted that he could revert to his ancestral bloodline.

A new vest is urgently needed!

Lin Yuan was just about to rest when he saw the flower that had been broken in two and fell into deep thought.

How am I supposed to explain this to Dong Qianqiu?

In the following days, Lin Yuan, Gu Yuena, Lan Mengqin, Dong Qian, Lan Bing, Ruo Ye spent their time traveling around Tiandou Planet, visiting shopping malls, popular photo spots, tourist attractions, and the Evil Soul Master's Haunted House. They had a wonderful time.

On the very last day, Lin Yuan received a call from Ji Hongbin.

"Hello, Elder Ji?"

"Um, when are you coming back?"

"Us?" Upon hearing these two words, Lin Yuan suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

Oh no, Little Dragon God!

Ji Hongbin continued:

"That's right, you and Lan Xuanyu, didn't you go to Tiandou Planet? When are you coming back? The Shrek Academy auditions will be held in twenty days, so you need to hurry."

"Okay, I understand, thank you, Elder Ji."

Tiandou Academy, classrooms and dormitories, Gu Yuena's dormitory, Cultivation Room.

Lan Xuanyu mechanically took out the communicator, saw the words "[No Signal]", and silently put it back.

Today marks the seventh day of his detention!

He hasn't had a drop of water or a meal!

"Brother, Teacher Nana, have you forgotten me?" Lan Xuanyu murmured to himself.

Suddenly, the door was flung open!

The intense light rushed in, causing Lan Xuanyu, who was used to the darkness, to squint slightly.

"What the hell?!"

Lin Yuan was taken aback when he saw the Little Dragon God with unfocused eyes, sallow cheeks, and a loud rumbling stomach.

It's just a few days of being locked up, why do you act like you've been abused?

"Brother, I don't know either. After I broke through that day, Teacher Nana was gone, and this Cultivation Room can't be opened anymore, and there's no signal."

Lan Xuanyu murmured.

Can't open, no signal?

Lin Yuan glanced at Gu Yuena silently.

Gu Yuena's lips twitched, and after a moment of silence, she said calmly:

"I couldn't open it because I was worried someone would disturb Lan Xuanyu's breakthrough. There was no signal because I used my Divine Power to shroud this area. Actually, this was intentional, a test I set for you, Lan Xuanyu. After a breakthrough, one needs a period of quiet cultivation."

Lan Xuanyu Youyou at Gu Yuena, then silently walked to a corner and sat down, hugging his knees.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan laughed and said, "Alright, Lan Xuanyu, we should go back to the Tianluo Academy. Elder Ji just called; the Shrek Academy auditions are about to begin."

Shrek Tryouts...

Thinking of these five words, a barely perceptible smile appeared on Lin Yuan's lips.

It's finally here.
