Wutong and Qiu'er Stun the Audience

Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, Spirit Pagoda Academy, classroom.

This was the exchange students' first class after joining the academy. Snow Empress stood at the podium, giving the students below a detailed explanation of knowledge related to soul spirits.

Meng Hongchen sat in the corner by the window in the third row. At the moment, she was gazing at Tang Wutong and Jin Qiurui with an infatuated expression, unable to stop herself from sighing inwardly.

How could there be such beautiful girls in this world? They aren't even related by blood, yet they look so alike.

Tang Wutong had long pink-blue hair, with two stray locks sticking up from her head and a blue butterfly hairclip as decoration.

Jin Qiurui, meanwhile, had golden-blue hair. However, she only had one stray lock sticking up, along with a golden dragon-scale hair ornament.

Their expressions and appearances were distinctly different upon closer inspection. Tang Wutong gave off a cool, breathtakingly beautiful air, gentle yet strong, while Jin Qiurui felt fresh and otherworldly, delicate and adorable.

After all, Huo Yuhao had not allowed Tang San to interfere successfully. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion had lived freely, which was why she had developed such a lively and adorable personality.

And because of that, Tang Wutong had not obtained the Golden Dragon Bloodline, a branch of the Dragon God's Bloodline, from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Thus, she now only possessed the Light Goddess Butterfly, the Clear Sky Hammer, and the Sea God's Bloodline.

Moreover, Tang Wutong in the original work had relied on Huo Yuhao's help to obtain the Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores. Therefore, Tang San had to put in far more effort before he could barely help his daughter become a god.

Xiao Xiao was also somewhat surprised. After all, it truly was rare for people without blood ties to look so alike.

Xiao Hongchen looked at his sister with a strange expression, his eyes seeming to say:

Meng, don't tell me you've fallen for those two beauties? Your brother hasn't even said anything about it, yet you actually like girls?!

Xiao Hongchen helplessly waved a hand in front of Meng Hongchen, trying to divert his sister's attention.

Meng Hongchen awkwardly stuck out her tongue. Only then did she reluctantly shift her gaze away and finally focus on Snow Empress's lecture.

"The same soul spirit can successively enter into soul spirit contracts with different people, thereby continuously extending that soul spirit's life. Once a soul spirit has been passed down through a family for generations, it becomes what we call a—Soul Spirit Ancestor."

Snow Empress continued patiently, "The soul spirit side is the principal party in this relationship. Humans must continue to uphold the soul spirits' primary status and respect their opinions and choices. Only then can humans and soul beasts achieve lasting peaceful development."

After explaining the knowledge related to soul spirits, Snow Empress had everyone introduce themselves in turn so they could get to know one another.

Snow Empress added, "There is no need to introduce your martial souls or Soul Power. After all, when you compete, each of you will be the others' opponent. You only need to state your name and which academy you come from."

The green-haired girl sitting in the first row consciously stood up and said in a clear, youthful voice, "Hello, everyone. My name is Xiao Xiao, and I'm from Spirit Pagoda Academy."

The golden-haired girl with a pair of fluffy rabbit ears stood up right after her. "I'm Jiang Nannan, from Spirit Pagoda Academy."

Next, a black-haired boy with a lock of dark red hair hanging over his forehead stood up. He gave off an extremely unserious impression as he smiled wickedly. "My name is Xu Sanshi. I'm also from Spirit Pagoda Academy."

After that, a snow-white-haired girl rose elegantly and said softly, "I am Su Tong from Spirit Pagoda Academy."

The girl with long ice-blue hair also stood up, saying calmly, "Ling Luocheng, Spirit Pagoda Academy."

The golden-blue-haired girl impatiently stood up and said playfully, "I'm Jin Qiurui from Spirit Pagoda Academy. You can just call me Qiu'er."

Everyone immediately turned their eyes toward Jin Qiurui, as well as the pink-blue-haired girl with wavy long hair who stood up next.

"Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, Tang Wutong."

Tang Wutong spoke calmly, her expression unruffled.

Her reaction was completely different from when Wang Dong had first met Wang Qiuer in the original work. Back then, Wang Dong had already fallen for Huo Yuhao, so she had feared that Wang Qiuer, who looked so similar to her, would steal her lover away.

But Tang Wutong was the little princess of the God Realm and possessed her complete memories. Naturally, through Tang San's explanation, she knew Jin Qiurui's true identity. Thus, she had long stopped caring about their similar appearances.

Next, the blue-purple-haired boy smiled. "I'm Bei Bei, also from Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect."

After him came the bald boy—He Caitou; the fiery red-haired girl—Ma Xiaotao; and the golden-haired boy—Dai Yueheng. All three were from Shrek Academy.

Finally came Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen from Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy. The siblings both had snow-white hair.

After Snow Empress announced the end of class, Xiao Xiao curiously asked Jin Qiurui, "Qiu'er, you and Tang Wutong aren't distant relatives, are you?"

Jin Qiurui tapped her cherry-red lips, a thoughtful look appearing on her face. "That can't be. I've met all my relatives. There has never been anyone who looks extremely similar to me."

Meng Hongchen was also curious. Outgoing and open as she was, she took the initiative to approach Tang Wutong and asked with a puzzled expression, "Wutong, do you know Qiu'er? Are you two biological sisters?"

Tang Wutong replied indifferently, "I don't know her. No."

Meng Hongchen continued, "You two are the most beautiful girls I've ever seen. I wonder if you'd be willing to be good friends with me?"

Tang Wutong's expression remained cold. "Thank you for the compliment, but you should find Qiu'er to be your friend instead."

Seeing Tang Wutong's frosty attitude, Meng Hongchen could only tactfully leave her side and walk over to Jin Qiurui instead.

"Qiu'er, can I be good friends with you?"

Jin Qiurui took out a box of milk chocolate and handed it to Meng Hongchen, replying with a smile, "Of course you can. Here, this is a little gift for our first meeting."

Meng Hongchen's eyes lit up. "Qiu'er, you're way too nice! Thank you."

Watching his sister happily eat the milk chocolate, Xiao Hongchen said helplessly, "How did she win you over so easily?"

Meng Hongchen stuffed one piece after another into her mouth, yet she still muttered in reply, "What do you know? She's beautiful and kind-hearted. Not everyone is a total villain like you."

Xiao Hongchen's face darkened. "Is that any way to talk about your own brother?"

However, Meng Hongchen ignored her brother and happily immersed herself in the delicious treat alone.

Five minutes later, Gu Yuena walked in from outside. She informed everyone to head to the training grounds together and prepare for practical combat class.
