It wasn't just the Shrek group who were astonished by the scene on the Heavenly Screen.

Spirit Hall's many experts were equally surprised.

Spirit City?

This was Black World's Spirit City?

Damn, the difference compared to White World was way too huge, wasn't it?

Not only had the city's area expanded tremendously.

Even the roadsides were lined with all kinds of dazzling goods and shops filled with a modern technological aesthetic.

Were they really in the same era?

[Zhu Zhuqing was born in the Star Luo Empire.]

[The Zhu Clan she belonged to was a top hereditary noble family that had been passed down through the empire for a thousand years. They had intermarried with the imperial Dai Clan for generations, and their status was exceptionally prominent.]

[In her view.]

[Even if the Zhu Clan could not be called fabulously wealthy.]

[They certainly lived in luxury.]

[Such conditions already surpassed over ninety percent of the families in the Star Luo Empire.]

[Yet even so.]

[When Zhu Zhuqing first stepped into Spirit City.]

[She still felt like a country girl entering the city for the first time.]

[Not good with words, Zhu Zhuqing quickly fell into confusion, unsure how she should get to Spirit Hall Academy.]

[At that moment.]

[A small hand suddenly gave her shoulder a light pat.]

[Zhu Zhuqing jumped in fright.]

[When she turned around.]

[She discovered two girls about her age, whose looks and temperament were in no way inferior to her own.]

[One was dressed magnificently, with fair, tender skin that seemed as though water could be squeezed from it with a pinch. At a glance, she was clearly the young miss of some wealthy and distinguished family.]

[The other was rather tall, with a high ponytail. She held an exceptionally well-shaped carrot in her hand and nibbled at it in small bites, her bright, large eyes filled with clarity and foolishness.]

["Classmate, I saw you standing here for quite a while."]

["Are you here to register at Spirit Hall Academy?"]

["Just follow this road to the end, then turn left. There will be volunteers from the admissions office there to take you over."]

[The beautiful young miss smilingly pointed at the recommendation letter in Zhu Zhuqing's hand as she spoke.]

[Zhu Zhuqing stood blankly for a moment. Once she recovered, she immediately nodded and thanked her.]

[The other girl merely smiled, waved her hand, said, "You're welcome," and turned to leave.]

["Those two were both Soul Elders..."]

[Zhu Zhuqing possessed the Netherworld Spirit Cat martial soul, giving her exceptionally sharp senses.]

[Thus, she could clearly sense the faint pressure emanating from them.]

[They looked about the same age as her, yet they were so much stronger?]

["So this is Spirit Hall Academy?"]

["It truly is a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers abound."]

[The registration process went very smoothly.]

[A twelve-year-old level 27 agility-attack Battle Soul Master.]

[Even within Spirit Hall, she could be considered quite outstanding, not to mention that Zhu Zhuqing's innate soul power had only been level 7.]

[Who knew how much effort she had put in over the past few years.]

[However, it was worth mentioning that.]

[When the student volunteer at the registration desk opened the recommendation letter in Zhu Zhuqing's hand and saw the name written on it.]

[A flicker of disbelief crossed her face.]

[She immediately turned and called a teacher over.]

[This made Zhu Zhuqing tense up for a moment, wondering whether there was something wrong with the letter.]

[However, after confirming that the recommendation letter was genuine.]

[The teacher instead enthusiastically took the initiative to lead her to the girls' dormitory.]

[She later learned.]

[That among this year's students, only four had received recommendation letters personally written by His Highness the Spirit Hall Holy Son.]

[And among the new students, she had been assigned a Black rank.]

[Of the six ranks—White, Yellow, Purple, Black, Red, and Gold—it ranked third.]

[This meant that she possessed tremendous potential among the new students, and the resources and privileges she received at the academy would be more generous than those of other students.]

[However, if she wanted to keep this rating or rise even higher.]

[She would have to achieve outstanding results in the assessments held every three months.]

[After all, it was not just the Black rank.]

[Even the Red rank in second place and the Gold-rank national team in first place had many people eyeing their positions covetously.]

[After hearing the teacher's explanation.]

[Zhu Zhuqing finally felt a trace of pressure.]

[But she did not feel afraid. Instead, her heart was filled with excitement and anticipation.]

[Compared with staying in her clan, where she had to guard against the schemes and plots of the contenders for the throne at every turn.]

[This comfortable cultivation environment.]

[Was something she would not even have dared dream of.]

["Gold rank!!"]

["Would he be a member of the national team?!"]

[Zhu Zhuqing lay on the large bed in her luxurious single dorm room and muttered to herself.]

Black World.

A soft creak came from the living room door.

Ning Rongrong instinctively turned her head.

Then she smiled and waved.

"Ah, Zhuqing, Yan'er, Lingling, you came back at just the right time!"

"The Heavenly Screen is showing what happened around the time Spirit Hall Academy began its term!"

Dugu Yan was the first to walk in, her flowing purple hair draping past her slender, snake-like waist and plump, lifted hips.

Her charmingly pretty face carried an alluring glamour. Her eyes were narrow and sharp, her skin fair as snow, and her lips red as blood roses. Her entire body exuded a strong air of languid ease.

She looked up at the sky and could not help exclaiming.

"Wow, it really is! I never expected Zhuqing to already be so big back then?!"

"I miss those days so much. Before I knew it, so many years had passed."

The girl following behind her had shoulder-length short hair. She was Ye Lingling.

Judging from her appearance alone.

Although Ye Lingling was only a little over 1.6 meters tall and had a petite, delicate figure, her curves were quite full.

Coupled with all the good food and drink Spirit Hall had provided over the years.

The girl had been raised into a round-faced, delicate, youthful, and adorable doll-faced beauty.

If someone unaware of the situation saw so many girls standing together.

They would definitely assume she was the youngest one present.

But in truth, she was the same age as Dugu Yan, and the two had been very close friends even before joining Spirit Hall Academy.

"Huh?"

"This little one is here too. Let big sister have a feel... she seems to have gotten chubbier again!"

As soon as Ye Lingling walked around the sofa, she spotted the Three-Eyed Golden Lion waving a paw at her. She stretched out her little hand and rubbed her belly twice.

The last to enter was Zhu Zhuqing.

Her cool features paired with an exquisite oval face, carrying a natural charm and sensuality that made her already stunning beauty even more bewitching.

Her figure had become even more voluptuous than when she was young. Her waist was slender enough to fit in one hand, her hips were full and shapely, and her legs were long and straight.

It further accentuated her extraordinarily exaggerated proportions.

(Black World Zhu Zhuqing's appearance)

She gazed at her younger self on the Heavenly Screen.

A trace of softness rarely surfaced in those eyes that usually showed not the slightest ripple.

Because this place was where her fate had begun to change.

Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong among the crowd looked at the Zhu Zhuqing on the Heavenly Screen.

Then at the real Zhu Zhuqing.

Finally, she lowered her head to look at her own snow-white rabbits.

She sank into deep thought.

After so many years.

She was not even comparable to Zhu Zhuqing when she had first enrolled on the Heavenly Screen.

Ning Rongrong collapsed despairingly onto the sofa.

There really was nothing left to look forward to in life.

[The next day.]

[Zhu Zhuqing put on her beautiful uniform.]

[By the time she arrived at the training ground.]

[There was not much time left before the opening ceremony.]

[After much effort, she found her class and sat down in a corner.]

[When she looked up, she saw dozens of students sitting near the podium.]

[Some were upperclassmen, while others were new students about her age.]

[Even the Spirit Hall Holy Son who had given her the recommendation letter, as well as the two particularly beautiful girls who had shown her the way yesterday, were seated beside him.]

[What was worth noting was.]

[The badges worn by those ten students were all golden.]

[They were this year's national team of the Spirit Hall Academy Team?]

[The strongest elite team that would represent the academy in the Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament three years later.]

[As Zhu Zhuqing waited patiently.]

[A violent commotion and waves of shrieks suddenly erupted from some distance away on the training ground.]

[Even the Soul Sages, Soul Douluos, and other powerful teachers and directors on the stage did not dare slack off in the slightest. They all rose to their feet and respectfully saluted in that direction.]

When the people outside the White World Heavenly Screen saw the figures surrounded by so many experts.

An uproar swept through the entire Spirit Hall Arena.

Because the person who had arrived was Spirit Hall's current Pope.

Bibi Dong.
