Meanwhile, having finished registering, Ye Chen went to look at the dorm room Shrek Academy had assigned him.
Bibi Dong returned to Ye Chen's sea of spirit.
The rooms housed two students each. Ye Chen looked at the room number in his hand-Dorm 108-and muttered to himself.
"Don't tell me I'm sharing a room with Wang Dong?"
Just then, a voice sounded behind Ye Chen.
"You're in this room too?" The voice was clear and bright, yet carried an unquestionable forcefulness.
Ye Chen looked back and saw a young boy standing in the doorway.
The boy had delicate features, fair skin, and a pair of particularly striking eyes. His irises were a pale pinkish blue, as was his neatly cropped hair.
The boy was none other than Wang Dong'er, or rather, Wang Dong.
Tang San, oh, Tang San. You're really pulling out all the stops for Huo Yuhao, even dragging your own daughter into your schemes.
Too bad you've run into me. I'll kick Tang San and punch that slave Huo, starting by winning over Wang Dong'er.
Come to think of it, hasn't Tang San noticed that he can no longer probe the Douluo Plane? Ye Chen thought.
Meanwhile, inside the Divine Realm Core.
Having finished what he was doing with Xiao Wu, Tang San was about to check on the Douluo Continent.
"Wutong should have entered Shrek Academy by now, right? I wonder how she's getting along with that child of destiny?"
Just as he was about to operate the Divine Realm Core, Tang San suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Why can't I see what's happening in the Douluo Plane?"
Tang San checked again, but no matter how he operated the Divine Realm Core, he simply could not view the Douluo Plane!
"Could the Divine Realm Core be broken?"
Puzzled, Tang San checked the other planes and found that the Divine Realm Core worked again.
"What's going on?"
Tang San checked the Douluo Plane once more, but he still could not view it.
"What's happening? Who dares toy with this God King?" Tang San flew into a rage, but no one answered him.
So Tang San simply abandoned the Divine Realm Core and tried to contact the divine consciousness he had placed within Tang Wutong. There was no response.
He used a special means of communication to contact Da Ming and Er Ming in the Clear Sky Sect, but still could not reach them.
He contacted the Golden Tree, but once again, he could not reach it.
He even tried probing directly with his own divine consciousness, but the instant it touched the Douluo Plane, an immensely powerful force struck it and shattered it outright!
Even Tang San himself spat out a mouthful of blood when his divine consciousness was shattered, clearly suffering internal injuries.
"What's going on? Who is it?! You've already chosen the path to your death!"
Alone inside the Divine Realm Core, Tang San raged helplessly.
At that moment, in Shrek Academy,
Wang Dong had already begun laying down her rules. "There are a few rules you need to remember. First, don't bring people back to the room without permission. Second, don't walk around naked in the room and disgust me. Third, no snoring at night. Fourth, don't disturb me. Fifth, from now on, you're responsible for cleaning the room, but don't touch my bed. Is that clear?"
Ye Chen could not even be bothered to listen. "Why should I listen to you? Am I someone you can order around? Are you even qualified?"
Wang Dong snorted coldly, her gaze suddenly sharpening. "If you don't listen, I'll beat you out of here. Try me if you don't believe it."
"You? I can't be bothered to reason with you. You don't deserve to hear it," Ye Chen said with utter arrogance.
Seeing Ye Chen's arrogant demeanor, Wang Dong'er smiled.
"I still don't know your name," Wang Dong asked contemptuously.
"Ye Chen."
Wang Dong smiled faintly, then suddenly stepped forward and leaned close to Ye Chen's face.
Her pinkish-blue eyes brimmed with superiority. "Very good. I think your name will soon disappear from Shrek Academy. Come on, idiot."
With that, she turned and headed out first.
Then, as though remembering something, Wang Dong turned to Ye Chen and said, "I forgot to tell you. My name is Wang Dong."
"Whatever you're called makes no difference. I won't even need my hands to deal with you," Ye Chen said, following Wang Dong outside.
He had been wanting to test the three soul skills of his Three-Eyed Golden Lion anyway.
At the dormitory entrance, an old man reclining in a lounge chair raised his head and watched Ye Chen and Wang Dong with interest.
Ye Chen had noticed this renowned Sea God Pavilion Master, Mu En, as soon as he arrived.
Wang Dong stopped, turned around, and looked at Ye Chen disdainfully.
"I'll let you make the first move, so no one can say I'm bullying the weak." Wang Dong raised her chin, brimming with pride.
"No need. You should go first. Once I make my move, you won't even get a chance to use your martial soul."
"You're asking for death!" Wang Dong erupted in fury.
Pale blue light suddenly burst from Wang Dong's body, and a pair of enormous, translucent butterfly wings covered in golden patterns unfurled behind her,
One yellow and one purple soul ring rose from beneath her feet, and the pressure of a rank twenty-four Power Attack System Soul Grandmaster's soul power spread outward.
In the Sky Screen, Yu Xiaogang was dumbfounded at the sight of yet another unconventional soul ring configuration.
[Yu Xiaogang: Why is there another person with a thousand-year second soul ring? This completely contradicts the theory!]
[Xu Xiaoyan: Theory Master, you again? Haven't we already told you? Theory is theory, and practice is practice. Why can't you understand that?]
[Yu Xiaogang: How could martial soul theory be wrong? It took years of research to develop!]
[Ye Xinglan: You believe in martial soul theory? Then you must be a useless loser in real life too.]
[Yu Xiaogang: What's wrong with believing in martial soul theory? Has no one ever taught you theory?]
[Yun Ming: The theories of the strong come from their own insights.]
[Yu Xiaogang: What kind of damn powerhouse are you? If you came to Shrek Academy, you'd probably struggle just to register.]
Yu Xiaogang was thoroughly infuriated.
"Didn't Xiao San become a god by relying on my theories? How dare you question them?"
Yun Ming was just as furious.
He had spoken twice and been snapped at twice!
Fortunately, this chat box did not display names. Otherwise, where would he put his pride as the continent's strongest man?
By then, the battle between Wang Dong and Ye Chen had already begun.
"Aren't you going to release your martial soul?" Wang Dong asked in a low voice.
"Fine, then. As you wish." As Ye Chen finished speaking, three soul rings-two purple and one black-appeared beneath his feet.
The phantom of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion appeared behind him.
Seeing Ye Chen's soul ring configuration and martial soul, a flicker of shock crossed Mu En's eyes.
Wang Dong's face turned ashen when she saw Ye Chen's soul ring configuration as well.
She had never expected to encounter such a powerful opponent just after entering Shrek Academy.
Watching Wang Dong's expression grow increasingly grave, Ye Chen said, "What, don't tell me you're thinking of surrendering?"
"Hmph! So what if your soul rings are older? We'll only know how strong you are after we fight!"
Wang Dong dared not let her guard down. With a beat of her wings, she shot toward him like a blue rainbow.
Her second soul ring lit up, and countless golden spheres of light fired from her butterfly wings. Butterfly God's Light blanketed the sky and earth, engulfing Ye Chen.
Ye Chen merely smiled. "Light attribute? Sorry, but mine is ultimate light!"
