Little Seven's Age Aligned with Huo Yuhao

As for the fourth Soul Ring, there was no need to rush for now.

Just as Bai Ran was carrying out his daily cultivation of the complete Mysterious Heaven Technique,

he suddenly received some "terrible news."

"What? You want me to attend Shrek Academy?

No, no. How old am I?"

Strictly speaking, Bai Ran was only a little over seven years old.

Tang Wutong, on the other hand, was exactly eleven when her age in the God Realm and the more than a year she had spent in the lower realm were counted together.

She was just the right age to enroll at Shrek Academy.

However, Shrek's admission standards varied from person to person.

Take Mu En, the current master of Sea God Pavilion. Back then, he had broken through to Great Soul Master at the age of eight and was exceptionally admitted into Shrek Academy ahead of schedule.

Because of this, Shrek Academy had specifically lowered its admission standards somewhat.

Bai Ran's current soul power level naturally far exceeded Shrek's admission requirements.

But wasn't he simply too young?

Even Mu En had been eight years old when he entered Shrek.

Bai Ran was still more than half a year away from turning eight.

"Little ancestor, just go."

To be honest, Da Ming and Er Ming also wanted to spend more time with Little Seven.

Besides, although they did not know why, this little Bai Ran always made Third Brother angry.

Still, the child was quite well-behaved in everyday life.

He stayed in the sect cultivating diligently all day and never caused trouble.

Unfortunately, the decision to send Bai Ran to Shrek Academy had been made by Tang San.

Tang San had ordered that, no matter what methods Da Ming and Er Ming used, they had to get Bai Ran into Shrek Academy.

Even though Tang San had not spoken to Shrek's higher-ups, with Bai Ran's talent, unless Shrek's leaders had all gotten their heads stuck in doors, they could not possibly find a reason to turn him away.

"Little ancestor, just go. In a little over a year, it will be time for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

I heard the next tournament will be held in the Star Luo Empire. It would be nice to go join in the fun."

Hearing them,

Bai Ran could not help but freeze.

The Soul Master Tournament was in a year, and it was being held in the Star Luo Empire?

Th-That was not right, was it?

According to the original timeline, Huo Yuhao should have been the same age as him...

No, no, no, no.

Bai Ran suddenly realized that it was not his age that aligned with Huo Yuhao's, but Little Seven's.

In other words, without his influence,

Tang Wutong had already gone to Shrek Academy under the identity of "Wang Dong" to take the new student entrance test?

Bai Ran: Was it still in time for me to head to the Great Star Dou Forest and snatch Sky Dream Ice Silkworm?

Forget it. The moment he thought about how that giant bug would live inside his body in the form of a "soul spirit" after he took it in,

Bai Ran could not stand it.

Besides, Tang Wutong was already living inside him.

It would have been one thing if Tian Meng had been female, but the key was that he was male.

And he was an outrageously lecherous bug at that.

In the original story, Tian Meng had long since seen through Wang Dong's female identity with his spiritual power.

"Fine. I'll treat it as a chance to get out and relax."

Since there was a high chance that Huo Yuhao had already gone to Shrek Academy, how could Bai Ran possibly not go?

"Then should I disguise myself as a girl or something?"

Come to think of it, Bai Ran had always been rather delicate-looking, especially after his Martial Soul awakened.

Perhaps because he had spent too much time with Tang Wutong, he seemed to have been subtly assimilated by her.

Bai Ran: This was probably what they called a couple's resemblance.

"What, do you want to sneak into the girls' dormitory and peep at other girls bathing?"

Tang Wutong appeared beside Bai Ran at some unknown point and spoke angrily.

Tang Wutong: This Haki Bai is too awful. I have to glare at him fiercely.

"That wouldn't be impossible."

"Haki Bai, there's such a great beauty right here, yet you won't look at me—you want to look at other people?"

A little devil was a little devil. A shy girl could never say something like that.

Yet Tang Wutong said it with perfect confidence.

"You're too young."

"I'm a few years older than you, okay?"

"I wasn't talking about age."

"Haki Bai, you bastard!"

Watching Tang Wutong turn into a rabid dog again,

Bai Ran remarked: Little Seven's Martial Soul should not be the Goddess of Light Butterfly. It should be the Goddess of Light Dog.

Wait, Little Seven's Martial Soul was his Martial Soul.

Then it had better remain the Goddess of Light Butterfly.

Bai Ran did not want the butterfly wings on his back to turn into a dog tail when he used Martial Soul Possession.

"Alright, you two little ones, stop messing around.

Big Daddy will tell you some things you need to watch out for when heading to the academy."

"Big Daddy, go ahead."

Since Big Daddy had spoken, Tang Wutong stopped trying to bite Bai Ran.

Honestly, Tang Wutong had always been someone who could not sit still.

Staying in the sect cultivating all day made her feel as though she were about to grow mold.

She had long wanted to go out and look around.

"First, you cannot let Little Seven out under normal circumstances. As for your Martial Soul, just display your Goddess of Light Butterfly. Do not take out the Sea God's Trident."

There was no need to explain what the Sea God's Trident represented at Shrek.

As long as Bai Ran revealed the Sea God's Trident, even if he had no relationship whatsoever with Tang San,

he would become someone like Shrek's crown prince the very next second.

"I have no problem with not showing the Sea God's Trident, but why can't I come out, Big Daddy?"

Tang Wutong: If I can only stay inside Haki Bai and can't come out, then wasn't going out for nothing?
