The Transmigrator's Goal

So she leaned more toward the second mission.

At that moment, Chu Zhao, who had been left somewhat dizzy by the two systems' strange maneuvers, had not realized that she could have taken both.

That had always been her style.

The Longevity Art slowly flowed into Zhao Wuji's body. It made a circuit through the areas affected by Death Qi and Mandala Pollen, easily eliminating the effects of both.

It also restored the three wounds to their original state and woke Zhao Wuji up.

"Teacher Zhao, you're awake! How do you feel?"

The moment the snoring stopped, Dai Mubai saw Zhao Wuji's eyelids twitch.

Zhao Wuji had originally wanted to pretend to keep sleeping out of embarrassment, but Dai Mubai mercilessly exposed him.

"Xiao Bai, remember to come find me for extra training tomorrow afternoon."

Zhao Wuji said resentfully.

"You all did very well. You've passed the fourth test. Xiao Bai, take them to the dormitories."

Zhao Wuji practically squeezed those words through clenched teeth, glaring at Chu Zhao as well.

He cared a great deal about his reputation. He felt that he had utterly disgraced himself this time and could not face Chu Zhao and the others normally for the time being.

Having just benefited from him, Chu Zhao did not care about that look and simply ignored it.

"Yes, Teacher Zhao."

Dai Mubai wore a miserable expression as he led them toward the dormitory area. Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Shi Yang had all been injured, making it inconvenient for them to move.

Xiao Wu was practically limp against Chu Zhao. Caught between Shi Yang and Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai decisively reached out toward Zhu Zhuqing, with whom he had some connection.

But Zhu Zhuqing avoided his hand. She had no desire to be involved with Dai Mubai and would rather drag her injured body forward herself.

Dai Mubai got snubbed and looked rather awkward.

Shi Yang had just been snubbed by Tang San as well, so the two of them unexpectedly ended up together.

"Two people share a dorm here. I'm already staying with Fatty. Tang San, do you want to room with Shi Yang or with another student named Oscar?"

Since Dai Mubai had met Tang San first and admired him the most, he asked Tang San for his opinion first.

"I'll room with Oscar."

Tang San decisively chose Oscar, ignoring Shi Yang's look.

"What about you? The academy never had any girls before, so the four of you can split into pairs."

Only then did Dai Mubai ask Chu Zhao and the other four girls.

"I have no objections." That was Ning Rongrong.

"I want to stay with Zhao Zhao! Nobody's separating us!"

Xiao Wu was the first to voice her opinion, and she got her wish of sharing a room with Chu Zhao.

Shrek Academy's dormitories were little wooden cabins, and the conditions were extremely rudimentary.

Since she had suffered minor injuries, Xiao Wu chose to sit on the bed and heal as soon as she entered the dormitory.

Chu Zhao, meanwhile, recalled everything that had happened that day and checked her gains.

She found that both rewards were safely stored away and could be used at any time.

Moreover, she had gained an unexpected benefit from Zhao Wuji.

When Chu Zhao used the Longevity Art to help others heal, she also received some Soul Power feedback. Since Zhao Wuji was a Soul Saint, the feedback directly raised Chu Zhao's Soul Power from level fifty to level fifty-one.

However, that level fifty-one could not be displayed because she lacked her Fifth Soul Ring.

Chu Zhao had only just broken through to level fifty that morning and had not had time to hunt for a Soul Ring, which was why she had arrived in line a little late.

She had made another discovery that day: the Transmigrator named Shi Yang.

"System, can you sense the presence of other systems?"

Chu Zhao poked both systems separately, and they gave her the same answer.

Systems could only sense systems of a lower level. At present, no such system had been detected around the host.

That meant Shi Yang did not necessarily lack a system. Another possibility was that his system was more advanced and therefore could not be detected.

Meanwhile, Shi Yang, whom Chu Zhao had been discussing, was bitterly talking about Chu Zhao as well.

"Who exactly is this Chu Zhao? How could such an unexpected variable appear, and such a freak at that?"

But no one was destined to answer him, because Shi Yang had not been lucky enough to carry a system.

He had died from sudden cardiac death while staying up late to read "Douluo Continent," but it had been an accident during soul collection, so he had been granted a chance at rebirth as compensation.

Because he had been obsessed with the story of "Douluo Continent," he chose to come to this world. He wanted to become good friends with Tang San and the others and write a legendary tale of ascension to godhood together.

"With Chu Zhao as an unexpected variable, wouldn't I have to drive out two people before I can successfully take a spot and become one of the Shrek Seven Devils?"

"That freak Chu Zhao has to go. She never belonged here in the first place."

"Third Brother definitely can't go. Without Third Brother and the Grandmaster, how could all of the Shrek Seven Devils possibly become gods?

Xiao Wu is Third Brother's beloved. She can't go either.

Dai Lao Da is currently the strongest, so he can't go.

Oscar is the only food-system Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power. He's destined to become a god, so I can't drive him away.

That Fatty Ma Hongjun is Flender's disciple, practically half a son to him. Flender won't let him leave either.

Ning Rongrong is a walking money tree. She has a noble status and is so beautiful..."

Shi Yang counted through them one by one and found that every one of them was indispensable. When he got to Ning Rongrong, he wore a silly grin for a long while before finally remembering the important matter.

"Then it can only be Zhu Zhuqing. Sorry, but your talent is the worst, your strength is the lowest, and your status is the lowest too. You don't even have any backing. If you don't leave, who will?"

"But it's a pity. Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai's Martial Soul Fusion Skill is pretty formidable. And Zhu Zhuqing really has an incredible figure, that body, tsk tsk tsk..."

Shi Yang could not stay serious for even a minute before once again thinking about such irrelevant nonsense.

"But when it comes to beauty, that crazy woman Chu Zhao is actually the prettiest. I wonder where she came from. I've never even heard of her before.

What a shame. If she weren't here to fight me for a place among the Shrek Seven Devils, I might have had a little good will toward her. What a shame..."

After thinking through a pile of nonsense and indulging in some unrealistic fantasies, Shi Yang remembered the important matter again.

"I successfully stayed at Shrek Academy and even helped say good things about Shrek. My Soul Power has actually risen quite a bit again. I've already broken through to level thirty. Great. I reached level thirty before Third Brother did. Maybe I'm the chosen one too."

No one knew that although Shi Yang had not bound a system, he had still obtained a cheat.

As long as he protected Shrek Academy or improved Shrek's prospects, his Soul Power would grow and break through more quickly.

On his way from the Star Luo Empire to Shrek Academy, he had said plenty of good things about Shrek Academy and successfully raised his Soul Power by several levels.

"That freak Chu Zhao may be level thirty, but so am I. I'm not that far behind her."
