Emperor Rupert's Mechanical Master Skill Book?

He couldn't hold it together. Was this setting Xu Yuan up to fight an Emperor War?

Still, this skill was quite practical.

Five years ago, when Xu Yuan killed Haozi, he had obtained a Large Ten-Thousand-Year Black Ice Marrow Vein.

It contained top-grade metals like Ice Extremity Divine Crystal.

It was quite a coincidence that two of the three women by Xu Yuan's side had ice attributes.

Jingliu and March 7th.

With this [Mechanical Master] skill, Xu Yuan could evolve machinery and forge ice-element weapons and equipment.

Besides, such weapons and equipment did exist on the Douluo Continent.

Soul Tools? Forget it. They weren't worthy of comparison...

Imbuing weapons and equipment with spirituality somehow reminded him of one of the Four Geniuses, the Intelligentsia.

Maybe he could make a Belobog Automaton Direwolf and Grizzly later to guard the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in his place.

Xu Yuan thought it over and felt it was necessary to give it a try.

While Xu Yuan was thinking, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others had already signed up for Shrek Academy one after another.

After accepting four little monsters in a row, Flender's expression immediately went from cloudy to clear.

At that moment, Flender also noticed that Xu Yuan's group of four was still present and hurriedly put on a smiling face.

"Your Excellency Sparkle, four honored guests, would you like to take a look around Shrek Academy?"

Xu Yuan considered it. If it could increase the main quest progress bar a little, there was no harm in it, so he nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Flender was overjoyed and quickly had Li Yusong take the four little monsters for their assessment.

As for Flender himself, he led the way ahead.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong were all Second-Ring Soul Grandmasters, so they skipped straight to the final test.

Then...

The assessment officially began.

Unlike in the original story, Dai Mubai was still recovering from his injuries, so Ma Hongjun took the field instead.

Facing Zhao Wuji, the Mighty Vajra Bear Soul Sage.

"Little monsters, are you all ready?"

Zhao Wuji stood up and rolled his wrists, producing a series of teeth-grinding bone cracks as an invisible pressure spread outward.

After lighting an incense stick, Zhao Wuji began to wait.

Ning Rongrong was the first to summon her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Two Hundred Year Soul Rings flashed, providing boosts for all four of them.

Then Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Zhu Zhuqing began scratching away at him.

Facing the four attackers, Zhao Wuji could not even be bothered to move. He merely activated Martial Soul Possession and unleashed his first soul skill, Immovable Bright King Body.

Then, Zhao Wuji locked his gaze onto Ning Rongrong, intending to take out the support first.

A black shadow flashed past. Zhu Zhuqing, an agility-attack Soul Master, rescued Ning Rongrong like a nimble spirit cat.

With the support carried away, Zhao Wuji flew into a rage. The moment he turned around, he ran into Rogue Rabbit.

"Second soul skill—Charm!"

Zhao Wuji: "..."

Rogue Rabbit Xiao Wu had probably forgotten to take her medicine. A level 29 Soul Grandmaster—who gave her the courage to Charm a level 76 Soul Sage?

Her strength was nowhere to be seen, but her inexplicable confidence was certainly there.

As expected, she was immediately knocked unconscious by the backlash.

Seeing this, Sparkle mercilessly mocked her.

"Little Gray Hair, why does that rabbit Soul Master look so stupid? Just like March."

March 7th immediately took offense. "Sparkle, I'll give you two good punches! Who are you calling stupid?"

Before she even finished speaking, March 7th clenched her little fists and chased after Sparkle, only for the twin-tailed girl to nimbly dodge away.

The two beautiful girls frolicked and tussled, making for a lively scene.

Jingliu's crimson eyes narrowed slightly as she commented on the fight. "She doesn't know her own limits and has no brains at all."

"The fact that she lived this long is truly a miracle."

Xu Yuan fully agreed with Jingliu and added another jab.

Flender, standing nearby, was extremely embarrassed. He had wanted to impress a Titled Douluo, yet this farce had broken out instead.

As he looked at Rogue Rabbit Xiao Wu on the field, a trace of resentment appeared on Flender's face.

Why did that girl seem a little slow in the head?

Then the situation on the field suddenly changed.

"No... Xiao Wu! Whoever hurt her is unforgivable!"

Seeing Rogue Rabbit Xiao Wu injured, Tang San's passive was triggered.

Tang San immediately clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and roared like a bull, his eyes turning bloodshot.

The Tang Syndrome flavor of that move was far too strong.

Zhu Zhuqing and the others paused briefly, but they quickly moved to carry the unconscious Xiao Wu off the field.

Stuck with such extraordinary teammates, the agility-attack Soul Master helplessly ended up serving as a nanny.

Ma Hongjun had even less presence, aside from occasionally spitting out a Phoenix Fire Line.

Then Tang San declared a one-on-one duel against Zhao Wuji.

Without that Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges, Tang San had specifically changed into clothes covered in pockets, stuffed full of all kinds of hidden weapons.

"Clink, clink, clatter~~"

Streaks of silver light flashed as throwing knives, Coin Darts, and all sorts of hidden weapons continuously flew at Zhao Wuji's face.

Zhao Wuji's eyes, shoulders, throat, heart, knees, philtrum, and lower abdomen all became targets.

Seeing the little monster go mad, Zhao Wuji did not dare to be careless. His second and third Soul Rings lit up in succession.

Unfortunately, Tang San used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and slipped around like a loach.

By this point, there was nothing worth watching.

Xu Yuan felt a little bored. Fine, it seemed he had been overthinking things.

Shrek Academy could not raise his progress bar for now. He would have to wait for the wool to grow before shearing it.

At this moment, Sparkle and March 7th, who had been hopping around and playing, also stopped.

With her hands behind her back, Sparkle quietly approached Xu Yuan. "Little Gray Hair, there's no more fun here. Let's go."

March 7th looked completely agreeable. "Xu Yuan, how about we go shopping? There are plenty of tasty foods and fun things here."

Noticing Xu Yuan looking at her, Jingliu was indifferent. "Fine. Cultivation requires proper relaxation."

"Then let's go shopping."

Xu Yuan took Jingliu's little hand, while Sparkle and March 7th bounced along behind them.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji was speechless. Compared to them, he looked like a clown.

Not only had he been force-fed romance, but he still had to endure Tang San, who had gone red with rage, constantly using underhanded hidden weapons against him.

Before leaving, an item quietly appeared in Xu Yuan's hand, hidden within his sleeve, and he activated it.

Aha's Prank Dice.

After spinning for a while, the dice landed on "1."

Xu Yuan decisively chose Tang San as the target.

An inexplicable ripple spread out, and Tang San, who was still using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, suddenly froze.

Oh no!

"Gurgle, gurgle~~"

His stomach gave a strange growl. Tang San had originally wanted to grit his teeth and endure it, but he simply could not suppress the primordial force within him.

Then...

Tang San's nimble movements suddenly halted, and the hidden weapons in his hands went out of control.

Zhao Wuji instantly seized the opportunity. His black fifth Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring flashed as he finally got serious.

Gravity Crush!

An invisible gravitational field instantly trapped Tang San. Terrifying force began to compress around him, leaving Pathetic Wretch unable to move.

Zhao Wuji raised a fist as large as a sandbag and smashed it fiercely into Tang San's lower abdomen.

Then, Tang San suffered social death...

Pathetic Wretch's pants immediately went wet, followed by indescribable sounds and a spreading stench.

"Ugh~"

Ning Rongrong's breath caught, and she immediately recoiled from Tang San with a face full of disgust.

Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, and the others were also speechless. This move dealt hybrid mental and physical damage.

Flender's face was darker than the bottom of a pot.

Pathetic Wretch's social death had ruined his reputation as well.
