Breakthrough to Level Sixteen

Wang Xiao had never expected Yan Shaozhe to actually use all five chances to act, so he had not paid it much mind.

"By the way, which class did you arrange for me to join?"

Yan Shaozhe sipped his tea leisurely. "Zhou Yi, Freshman Class One."

"Teacher Zhou was transferred down from the upper grades. I specially picked her for you." He sounded quite proud, as though he had gone to great lengths for Wang Xiao's sake.

"Old Yan, are you trying to ruin me?"

Zhou Yi was practically a copy of Yu Xiaogang—sharp-tongued, arrogant, and always threatening to expel people. Wang Xiao would rather believe Tang San was a good person than believe she possessed exceptional teaching ability.

"Hey, kid, watch your mouth. How did Zhou Yi offend you?"

"She was rated an outstanding teacher in previous years. She's been assigned to a freshman class this time, so you should be secretly celebrating."

Wang Xiao did not want to explain. "Change it for me, or I'll take it up with you."

"Fine. One chance to act." Unexpectedly, Yan Shaozhe agreed immediately, the corner of his mouth curving into a smug smile.

"You did that on purpose, didn't you?" Wang Xiao glared at him.

Yan Shaozhe spread his hands, wearing an expression of complete incomprehension.

"Old fox!" Wang Xiao sneered inwardly. Did he really think I had no way around this?

"Send me back."

"Fine." Yan Shaozhe summoned a middle-aged teacher.

"Please take Little Wang back to the Outer Court."

The teacher nodded and raised his hand. A surge of pure Soul Power lifted Wang Xiao into the air, and with a whoosh, he departed Sea God Island.

"Little Wang, if you get expelled, come find me anytime. One chance to act will do," Yan Shaozhe called out, waving from below.

Veins bulged on Wang Xiao's forehead. Titled Douluo, noble and dignified, elegant in speech—he saw nothing but shamelessness in this man!

In the small courtyard,

Ma Xiaotao walked out of the house.

"Xiaotao, how is your Evil Fire suppression going?" Yan Shaozhe was deeply concerned about this matter.

Ma Xiaotao replied, "There's no need to worry in the short term. However, I feel that Little Wang's Martial Soul seems to be just one step short of Ultimate Ice."

"That should be because he doesn't have any Spirit Rings," Yan Shaozhe said.

"No Spirit Rings?"

Ma Xiaotao was instantly startled. She found it hard to believe. Wang Xiao's rich, refined Soul Power did not look like that of someone without Spirit Rings at all.

Yan Shaozhe grew serious. "That's the strange part I mentioned to you."

"This kid only has level fifteen Soul Power, but I learned from Bei Bei that the Martial Soul he primarily cultivates is Blue Silver Grass."

"Little Wang has Twin Martial Souls!" Ma Xiaotao's beautiful eyes widened.

Even after ten thousand years, Twin Martial Souls remained exceptionally rare.

"Yes. With the talent of Twin Martial Souls, there was no way his Soul Power could be only level fifteen at the age of thirteen or fourteen."

"Either this kid has a method for concealing his Soul Power, or some accident occurred that kept him from cultivating for many years."

"Teacher, aren't you overthinking it? How could Little Wang possibly be an Evil Soul Master?"

Ma Xiaotao did not want to believe that the person who had helped suppress her Evil Fire could be an Evil Soul Master.

Yan Shaozhe shook his head. "I'm only considering the worst possibility. If he is an Evil Soul Master, someone with such talent would have no motive whatsoever to join Shrek Academy."

"All right, go rest. I'll get to the bottom of this. If Wang Xiao's identity is clean, I am willing to take him as my disciple."

Meanwhile, in the Outer Court,

After some effort, Wang Xiao had finally entered the continent's number-one academy.

Shrek Academy was not his only option, but he had only just arrived on the continent and was unfamiliar with the place. He truly had nowhere better to go.

Wang Xiao headed for the Freshman Dormitory.

When he arrived downstairs, he indeed saw an elderly man with graying hair reclining in a lounge chair, casually fanning himself with a hand fan as he enjoyed the afternoon.

Wang Xiao still held great respect for such seemingly ordinary yet unfathomable figures.

"Hello, may I ask which floor room 202 is on?"

"Second floor. Go on," the old man replied casually without even lifting his eyelids.

"Thank you."

Wang Xiao cupped his fists in salute before heading upstairs.

"Hey, Brother Wang, it really is you! How did you get in?" Huo Yuhao had noticed Wang Xiao from upstairs and had specifically run out to greet him.

"They said I'm a genius unlike any in ten thousand, so they begged me to enroll," Wang Xiao said without missing a beat.

Huo Yuhao led him upstairs and found dorm room 202.

"Brother Wang, what a coincidence! You're living right next to me." He excitedly pointed at the plaque for room 201.

Wang Xiao did not need to guess to know that Yan Shaozhe had arranged it deliberately.

"At least he has a little conscience."

He was utterly exhausted in body and mind and only wanted a good rest. After speaking with Huo Yuhao for only a few moments, he entered his dorm room.

The room was simply furnished: two large one-and-a-half-meter beds, a desk, a wardrobe, and a shower room.

The space was not large, but it was clean and tidy.

Wang Xiao opened the wooden box Yan Shaozhe had given him. Inside lay two blue pills.

"According to that old fox, each Mysterious Water Pill is worth ten thousand Gold Soul Coins. They cleanse the meridians and marrow, raise Soul Power, and speed up cultivation."

"I just wonder whether they can still accelerate cultivation for someone with Innate Full Soul Power."

Wang Xiao took out one pill and swallowed it directly. Then he sat on the bed and circulated his Soul Power to absorb its medicinal effects.

"Let's see if it can help me break through."

The pill dissolved, and pure energy surged toward his limbs and internal organs, beginning to cleanse his body.

Wang Xiao's entire body felt cool and refreshing. His organs seemed to be soaking in warm water, nourished in soothing comfort.

His pores opened, and gradually, black bodily fluid seeped out. His body seemed to have undergone a minor transformation.

"Damn, I really broke through?" Wang Xiao exclaimed. The Mysterious Water Pill truly was good stuff—it had raised his Soul Power by one level in less than an hour.

After taking one pill, both his physical strength and Soul Power were completely restored.
