New Roommate, Tang San and Mu En's Doing!

Jiang Nannan lowered her head to look at her blood-soaked hands, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Her face was pale as paper. Her stomach churned, and a powerful wave of nausea rose in her throat, making her nearly vomit.

She... had really killed someone.

This was her first time killing someone.

Even if he deserved his fate, even if death was no more than he deserved, the crushing weight of personally taking a life still made her feel suffocated.

Li Changqing stood to one side, watching her reaction with a calm expression. He merely said lightly, "You'll get used to it. There will be plenty more people to kill later."

Ye Guyi stepped forward and gently took Jiang Nannan's cold hand, nodding in agreement. "That's right. Evil soul masters run rampant across the continent, and conflicts between empires never cease. If we want to grow stronger and avoid dying halfway through, we can only keep becoming stronger and keep killing."

She paused and sighed softly, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness and reflection. "What a terrible chaotic age."

Li Changqing said nothing more. With a wave of his right hand, a golden flame landed on the corpse.

The flames instantly spread, enveloping the old man's body.

Within moments, it was burned to nothing. Even the ashes were scattered by the wind, leaving no trace behind.

After finishing this, he clapped his hands and turned toward the courtyard exit. "Let's go. It's time to return to the academy."

Ye Guyi tightened her grip on Jiang Nannan's hand and gave her an encouraging look before pulling her along after Li Changqing.

By the time the three returned to Shrek Academy, it was already the third night.

The night was deep, and the campus was silent. Only the streetlights cast their dim yellow glow.

Tomorrow marked the official start of the new term. Most students had already returned to their dormitories to prepare for the next day's classes.

Li Changqing pushed open the dorm room door and habitually headed toward his bed, but suddenly sensed that something was off.

He looked up toward the bed that had originally belonged to Bei Bei.

Someone was sitting on it.

But it was not Bei Bei.

It was a boy he had never seen before.

The boy looked about eleven or twelve years old, somewhat younger than him.

He had short blue hair, delicate features that were almost perfect, and a pair of clear, bright dark-blue eyes that seemed to hold an entire lake within them.

His skin was white as jade. Sitting there, he looked as though he had stepped out of a painting, so unreal that it was hard to believe.

Li Changqing froze for a moment, then instinctively stepped back outside and looked up at the room number.

That was right. It was his room.

He walked back in, looked at the unfamiliar boy, and frowned slightly. "Who are you? Where did Bei Bei go?"

Seeing him enter, the boy quickly rose from the bed and bowed respectfully. "Hello, Senior! My name is Wang Dong. I'm a new student this year, and I was assigned to this dormitory. Senior Bei Bei said he moved to another dorm, so this bed is mine from now on."

Li Changqing: "..."

Wang Dong?

Wang Donger?

Tang Wutong?

A string of names and identities flashed through his mind.

Tang San's daughter, infiltrating Shrek Academy...

He knew all of that.

But the question was, why had she come to his dormitory?

By all rights, shouldn't she have been living with Huo Yuhao?

And why had Bei Bei suddenly moved out for no reason?

Li Changqing stood at the doorway, looking at the "boy" before him. That excessively delicate face made it obvious at a glance that she was a girl disguised as a boy, and he fell silent for a moment.

Meanwhile, inside the Sea God Pavilion.

Bei Bei sat beside Mu En, looking at his great-grandfather with a face full of confusion. His tone carried a trace of complaint. "Great-Grandfather, what exactly were you thinking? Why did you suddenly stuff a new student who had just enrolled into Changqing's dorm? And you even insisted on kicking me out."

Mu En lay in a wicker chair with his eyes closed, slowly rocking back and forth, wearing an inscrutable expression. After a long while, he finally uttered a few words. "There is a reason."

Bei Bei grew anxious. "What reason? At least tell me! I've lived with Changqing for four years, and we got along just fine. You suddenly kicked me out without even giving me time to prepare myself!"

Mu En opened his eyes, glanced at him, then closed them again and said leisurely, "That child named Wang Dong is not simple."

Bei Bei was stunned. "Not simple? What do you mean?"

Mu En did not answer again. He merely waved his hand, signaling that Bei Bei could leave.

Bei Bei opened his mouth, wanting to ask more, but seeing his great-grandfather's expression of the secrets of heaven must not be revealed, he could only sigh helplessly in the end.

He got to his feet and left the Sea God Pavilion dejectedly.

After walking outside, he looked back at the tightly shut wooden door and could not help muttering, "Not simple... How extraordinary could he possibly be? Could he be more extraordinary than Changqing?"

After all, Li Changqing was already a Soul King.

Such cultivation speed was unprecedented even in the history of the soul master world.

That was why he truly could not understand why his great-grandfather had arranged things this way.

It could not be that this junior's talent was comparable to Li Changqing's, could it?

That was far too absurd!

In truth, it was not that Mu En did not dare reveal Wang Dong's true identity. It was simply too frightening.

Mu En had initially believed Wang Dong was merely the young master of the Haotian Sect, with at most some connection to the Tang Family.

Yet he had never imagined that Wang Dong also had close ties to the Sea God in the heavens.

There was even a strong possibility that she was that lord's blood descendant.

At that point, this was no longer something he could involve himself in.

Mu En lay in his wicker chair, his aged fingers lightly tapping the armrest as countless thoughts ran through his mind.

He could not understand why the lofty Sea God had Wang Dong disguise herself as a boy and infiltrate Shrek Academy.

And why had he specifically demanded that she stay in Li Changqing's dormitory?

Could it be...

That lord had taken a liking to Li Changqing and wanted to pass down his godhood to him?

If that were the case, then everything made sense.

With Li Changqing's talent and temperament, he was indeed qualified to become a god's inheritor.

It was only a pity that Mu En could never have imagined...

Li Changqing had not only already received a god's inheritance, but the gods passing it on to him were no ordinary gods.

They were the Life Goddess and the Destruction God, two of the five great God Kings of the Divine Realm.

In other words, as long as Li Changqing successfully completed his inheritance, his future status would be among the very highest even within the Divine Realm.

No one could compare to him, not even Tang San, the Sea God from ten thousand years ago.

Inside the dormitory.

Li Changqing sat on his own bed, his gaze settling on the boy before him. He calmly examined him for a moment before asking, "What is your martial soul?"
