The First Butterfly Effect: Black Tortoise Turtle Xu Sanshi

Watching the two exits get blocked, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xue Ningbing, and Xiao Xiao could only stare speechlessly as the other students frantically rushed out of the classroom.

Wang Dong asked in surprise, "Do they really need to be this crazy?"

"I don't understand it, but I respect it." It was Xue Ningbing's first time seeing such a shocking scene as well.

Were they really this obsessed with getting out of class?

Xiao Xiao asked, "So, where are we going to have fun tonight?"

"We can't possibly keep cultivating all the time. Sooner or later, something will go wrong." After saying that, Xiao Xiao looked at Xue Ningbing.

Xue Ningbing nodded. "Don't worry. With me around, I won't let him stay addicted to cultivation all the time."

"Xiao Xiao, I really have to thank you for that." Huo Yuhao had originally decided to return to the dormitory and cultivate after class, but Xiao Xiao's words had thrown that plan into disarray.

"No need to thank me." Xiao Xiao was delighted to see her plan succeed.

Wang Dong said, "Where else can we go? We already wandered around most of Shrek City when we registered. We've basically visited everywhere we're qualified to enter."

"Yeah." Xiao Xiao agreed with Wang Dong's words.

"How about we go to the Soul Arena and take a look?" Huo Yuhao offered when they were at a loss.

Wang Dong said, "The Soul Arena? I think that works. Besides, I heard some gossip that the Outer Court's Twin Stars will be dueling there tonight. We can go join the excitement."

"That could work." Xue Ningbing was not particularly interested in fights between low-level soul masters, but it was still better than letting Huo Yuhao cultivate until he forgot the time.

Wang Dong said happily, "Then it's decided."

It seemed that even if Xu Sanshi did not pester him over grilled fish, Beibei and Xu Sanshi would still have a Soul Arena duel.

After discussing it, they returned to their dormitories, took a refreshing bath, and then headed to Shrek City for dinner.

Inside a barbecue restaurant in Shrek City.

Watching Huo Yuhao finish grilling the meat, Wang Dong immediately stuffed it into his mouth. "This barbecue tastes pretty good."

"Wang Dong, why are you stealing my barbecue?" Xue Ningbing was furious when Wang Dong snatched her meat away.

"Does it have your name written on it?" Wang Dong ignored Xue Ningbing's angry accusation.

"Don't be angry. There's more here." Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Huo Yuhao fed Xue Ningbing a piece of meat slightly larger than the one Wang Dong had taken.

Having been fed, Xue Ningbing simply chose not to pursue the matter further.

After swallowing the meat, Xue Ningbing mocked Wang Dong, "Some people's hands may be fast, but Yuhao fed me this barbecue himself. Do you have that?"

"You bastard!" Wang Dong was furious at Xue Ningbing's taunt.

As for the constantly forgotten Xiao Xiao, she silently ate her own barbecue.

It was clearly a meal for four people, so why did Xiao Xiao feel like an outsider?

Today's victor and loser: Xiao Xiao had suffered a crushing defeat.

Just as Huo Yuhao and the others continued eating, a voice broke the current stalemate.

"Oh, Huo Yuhao and Xue Ningbing, you're at this barbecue restaurant too?"

Hearing someone call them, Huo Yuhao and Xue Ningbing looked toward the source of the voice and saw Beibei and Tang Ya.

The moment Xiao Xiao saw Beibei, she recognized him and asked, "Are you Senior Beibei, one of the Outer Court's Twin Stars?"

Seeing that a junior sister recognized him, Beibei smiled. "Looks like I'm quite famous."

Tang Ya said with some dissatisfaction, "Yes, yes. After all, you're one of our Outer Court's Twin Stars. The only ones with that title are you and that bastard Xu Sanshi."

Wang Dong asked timidly, "Um, Senior Sister, can I take that to mean Senior Xu's martial soul is a turtle?"

Tang Ya answered directly, "You can understand it that way."

"Tang Ya, you're calling me a bastard behind my back again!" An unfriendly voice rang out just as Tang Ya finished speaking.

A young man appeared in their line of sight. He wore a black school uniform, was several years older than Huo Yuhao and the others, and seemed to be about the same age as Beibei.

Xu Sanshi angrily warned Tang Ya, "I'm warning you for the last time. My martial soul is the Black Tortoise Turtle, the Black Tortoise Turtle! A Black Tortoise Turtle with the bloodline of the divine beast Black Tortoise! Not some bastard turtle! Can't you show some manners?"

"Don't think I won't beat you up just because you're Nannan's best friend!"

Tang Ya could not help complaining, "Why do I run into you everywhere?"

Sure enough, wherever Jiang Nannan was, Xu Sanshi the clingy follower would be there too.

The four freshmen, Huo Yuhao and the others, could not get a word into the conversation between these senior students.

However, Huo Yuhao, who was extremely observant, caught the most important term in Xu Sanshi's words.

Black Tortoise Turtle.

Logically speaking, Xu Sanshi's martial soul should not have evolved yet at this point. More precisely, it should have been the Dark Nether Turtle.

That meant Huo Yuhao's rebirth had changed some events involving certain people. His arrival had altered the course that should have continued forward.

Take Xu Sanshi before them, for example. The martial souls of the Xuanming Sect required a second awakening with a girl, but because Xu Sanshi had entered the wrong place, his martial soul could only evolve into a mutated Dark Nether Turtle.

But in Huo Yuhao's current reborn timeline, Xu Sanshi had smoothly completed his martial soul's second awakening without any mishaps. He simply had not awakened into the Black Tortoise. Still, that was normal; the Black Tortoise was not something one could awaken casually.

It seemed this was one change caused by Huo Yuhao's rebirth.

That also meant Jiang Nannan probably no longer had the same disgust toward Xu Sanshi that she had in his previous life.

Still, Huo Yuhao suspected that this timeline was the correct one.

That Xu Sanshi from his previous life had truly been embarrassing. His own sect's second awakening had somehow gone wrong.

Huo Yuhao absolutely did not believe that Xu Sanshi, as the sect master's son, had never learned about such matters.

"Xu Sanshi, how many times have I told you not to argue with my best friend? You can't win against her." Just as Tang Ya and Xu Sanshi were arguing over the name of his martial soul, a crisp voice stopped them both.

The owner of the voice was a young girl dressed in a purple school uniform.

She was about the same age as Beibei and Tang Ya, with a tall, well-proportioned figure. Her long golden hair, styled in large waves, cascaded down her back. Her skin was fair as snow, and her eyes were as clear as water.

Her arrival drew the gazes of countless Shrek students in the barbecue restaurant.

However, those students were frightened back by Xu Sanshi's fierce glare and silently returned to eating their barbecue.
