Woohoo, it looked like I no longer needed to rack my brains to find a way into the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy. The appearance of the siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen had practically provided me with the most convenient route to enrollment.

All I could say was that the soul skill Tian Meng gave me truly was terrifying! After all, who could refuse the thrill of cheating with Mental Detection and Mental Sharing?

Then let me say it again: thank you, Brother Sky Dream! I'll take care of your Bingbing, so don't worry!

As they looked at the contents of the Diary Copy, Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao, who had just packed their things and were preparing to leave Shrek Academy, exchanged glances. They could both clearly see the deep surprise in each other's eyes.

Could those siblings named Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen really help Huo Yuhao join the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy?

As though she had suddenly thought of something, Wang Dong'er leaned close to Xiao Xiao's ear and asked in a low voice.

"Xiao Xiao, do you think that Meng Hongchen might be like us?"

Xiao Xiao understood what Wang Dong'er meant and immediately nodded. "Very likely."

Even if Huo Yuhao was the Child of Destiny of the Douluo Continent, it should not have been such a coincidence that he had just arrived at the border of the Sun Moon Empire and encountered the siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, who could help him smoothly enter the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy.

The reason for such a "coincidence," according to their guess, was most likely that Meng Hongchen, like them, possessed a Diary Copy belonging to Huo Yuhao. She knew Huo Yuhao's identity, which was why she was so eager to recruit him!

This only made Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao even more anxious to reach the Sun Moon Empire as soon as possible. They also wanted to meet Huo Yuhao, the Child of Destiny, in person.

On their way out of Shrek Academy, they clearly saw the students of New Student Class One desperately running laps around Shrek Square beneath Zhou Yi's watchful gaze.

When Zhou Yi saw the two of them, she sneered, then shouted at the students.

"Run faster! Don't forget what I said earlier—if you don't want to be expelled like those two, then you must finish one hundred laps within two hours!"

The new students' gazes toward Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao were complicated. There was envy, disdain, mockery, and indifference.

Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao paid no attention to Zhou Yi's sarcastic taunts. No matter what Zhou Yi said now, the more she acted like this, the more relieved they were to have withdrawn from Shrek Academy. So this was the true face of the so-called Number One Academy on the Continent!

Huo Yuhao calmly pulled his hands from Xiao Hongchen's grasp and knowingly asked.

"Is there any need to be this excited?"

Xiao Hongchen could not control his emotions at all. He was practically dancing with excitement, his expression constantly shifting as he kept shouting.

"You don't understand! You have no idea what this soul skill of yours means!"

"Do you know that as long as you're present, I won't need to worry about my Soul Tools missing their targets? Even if I fired with my eyes closed, I could hit whatever I pointed at! It's practically like cheating in a game!"

"Those idiots from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion have no idea what they missed out on! Especially that White Tiger Duke—he's the biggest idiot of them all!"

Meng Hongchen tugged at the wildly excited Xiao Hongchen. Coming back to his senses, Xiao Hongchen immediately scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Sorry, Yuhao. I got too excited and said the wrong thing."

With a smile on his face, Huo Yuhao shook his head. "You didn't say anything wrong. I also think there aren't many people in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion who aren't idiots."

Huo Yuhao knew that Xiao Hongchen was standing up for him. It was completely different from a certain Blue Silver Saintess who refused to be named, blurting out "That's great!" upon hearing that he was an orphan. Naturally, he would not hold it against him.

Huo Yuhao's words made Xiao Hongchen relax. He casually threw an arm around Huo Yuhao's shoulders and declared boldly.

"Don't worry. With me here, I can definitely make you a member of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy! Even if you want revenge against the White Tiger Duke someday, I'll absolutely support you with everything I have!"

"When the time comes, just activate your Mental Detection and Mental Sharing, and I'll give the White Tiger Duke's Mansion a full barrage! Heh, hehehe."

There was not the slightest trace of a noble's arrogance in Xiao Hongchen. More precisely, the moment he saw Huo Yuhao, he had inexplicably felt as though he ought to get along with him.

Seeing her brother acting so flighty, Meng Hongchen shot him an annoyed glare before turning to Huo Yuhao with a radiant smile.

"Don't misunderstand, Yuhao. Xiao isn't usually like this."

Huo Yuhao waved a hand unconcernedly. "It's fine. I understand."

Meng Hongchen lightly kicked Xiao Hongchen in the calf, stopping his absurd behavior.

"Alright, Xiao. Let's return to the academy with Yuhao."

Xiao Hongchen took several deep breaths to calm his excitement over gaining Huo Yuhao, a Human Cheat, as support. He looked Meng Hongchen up and down in surprise.

"Didn't you say you wanted to come out and relax? We're heading back already?"

Meng Hongchen nodded, her eyes curving as she looked at Huo Yuhao.

"We need to return quickly and tell Grandpa about Yuhao, so that Yuhao can become a new student at the academy."

Xiao Hongchen noticed nothing unusual and nodded in agreement.

"True. Yuhao's soul skill is far too important. Even Grandpa will probably be shocked! I never expected that just by coming out with you, I'd run into a genius like Yuhao who was nearly buried. Looks like my luck is as good as ever!"

Xiao Hongchen raised his chin, nearly putting his hands on his hips to show off how impressive he was.

Meng Hongchen felt too powerless to criticize him. What did he mean, his luck was good? Clearly, it was Huo Yuhao, the Child of Destiny, whose luck was good! While inwardly looking down on her brother, she flashed a bright smile.

"Let's go, Yuhao. We'll take you to the academy."

Naturally, Huo Yuhao had no objections. Although this operation had gone a little too smoothly, considering his identity as the Child of Destiny, he did not suspect anything. He simply could not help writing in the Diary with his thoughts.

I unexpectedly ran into the siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen. I'll soon be able to smoothly join the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy and officially begin my journey of showing off—cross that out—of studying.

Xiao Hongchen seemed a little flighty, but he had also experienced the strength of me, a Human Cheat. Sure enough, what artillery user could refuse cheats that gave full-map vision and auto-aim?

As for Meng Hongchen, ummm, if I remembered correctly, when she used Martial Soul Possession, her pupils turned red, right? White hair and crimson eyes... that hits my preferences way too perfectly! No, no, calm down. I absolutely can't be assimilated by love-struck thinking. I need to focus on my career and cannot disappoint the Plane Will's expectations!

Speaking of which, Miss Meng was also a veteran looks addict. During the Soul Master Competition, she fell in love at first sight with Wang Dong'er, who was disguised as a man. If she had not later learned that Wang Dong'er was a girl, who knew what she might have done? When the Soul Master Competition came around, would I have the chance to witness Meng Hongchen pursuing Wang Dong'er in person?

That scene would be too beautiful. Just imagining it made people unable to resist getting excited!
