"Fuck off! What did you just say to Zhu Zhuqing?"

Dai Mubai glared fiercely at Li Qiu.

"I just told her my Martial Soul and my name, then said she was pretty. That was it!

Boss Dai, am I not allowed to talk to a new classmate?

Do you like Zhu Zhuqing?"

Li Qiu took a bite of his chicken leg and stood up.

"You fucking brat. You'd better not be lying.

If I find out you said anything bad about me to Zhu Zhuqing, I'll cripple you!"

Dai Mubai shot Li Qiu a glare, then turned to Oscar.

"Your level's higher than Li Qiu's, and you still got taken down by an armpit attack. You're even more useless than him. I can't be bothered with you!"

"Uh..." Oscar looked helpless.

Li Qiu saw that Dai Mubai had stopped paying Oscar any attention and was deliberately trying to look impressive in front of Zhu Zhuqing.

The peacock's about to spread his tail!

Oscar glanced at Dai Mubai and grinned wickedly.

"Boss Dai's got his eye on that busty girl. You'd better not talk to her again, or he'll cripple you."

"Got it!"

Li Qiu agreed aloud, but he had no intention of obeying.

Meanwhile, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing were discussing how to deal with Zhao Wuji.

They introduced their Martial Souls to one another.

Tang San then told Ning Rongrong to stand aside and provide support, while Zhu Zhuqing would help him and Xiao Wu attack.

Zhu Zhuqing stood to one side with her arms crossed.

"Actually, we were exempted from the second and third rounds, so we've already passed. I won't take part."

"Really?"

Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up at Zhu Zhuqing's words.

She no longer wanted to take this fourth-round test either.

"Who told you that?"

"I don't know!" Zhu Zhuqing knew Li Qiu had meant well. She couldn't give him away.

"All right!"

Ning Rongrong thought back to the only person who had spoken to Zhu Zhuqing earlier. It had to be that guy.

"Then I'm not taking part either!"

"Uh..."

Hearing that they wanted to withdraw from the fourth test,

Tang San, who had been full of confidence and eager to show what he could do, was left speechless.

Could they really pass without taking the test?

He looked at Xiao Wu.

"What do we do? It's just the two of us."

"Fight!"

Xiao Wu met Tang San's eyes. Soul Rings slowly rose beneath their feet,

and they summoned their Martial Souls before charging at Zhao Wuji.

"Just the two of you?"

Zhao Wuji froze. Why weren't the other two Little Monsters coming?

"You two don't want to join the academy?"

He turned to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Are you letting us join without taking the fourth test, or telling us to leave?"

Ning Rongrong asked.

"Uh..."

Zhao Wuji paused. These two youngsters were trying to outsmart him.

Ning Rongrong in particular was from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, according to Dai Mubai.

If he sent them away, the headmaster would beat him to death.

That thought killed his desire to stretch his muscles.

"That's great. Just deal with those two!"

Dai Mubai whispered to Teacher Zhao,

urging him to give Tang San and Xiao Wu a beating.

Those two were the reason Zhu Zhuqing had learned about his visits to brothels.

Teacher Zhao had to teach them a proper lesson.

"Think it over. You can withdraw from the test with them and still become students of Shrek Academy.

Of course, if you'd like to spar with me and see what your training has accomplished, that's fine too. The choice is yours!"

Zhao Wuji had no choice but to change his approach.

Dai Mubai ground his teeth at those words, furious beyond belief.

Teacher Zhao, weren't you supposed to have a terrible temper?

Weren't you supposed to be unstoppable once you got going?

How can you let them pass without a test?

"Then we won't take it!"

Xiao Wu figured fighting would only waste their strength. Besides, their opponent was a Soul Saint. How could they beat him?

"Mm. I'll go with Xiao Wu!"

Tang San said.

At that, Dai Mubai realized his plan had fallen through.

Damn it.

Before long, Zhu Zhuqing and the others successfully joined Shrek Academy.

[Spirit Hall Saintess: Good morning. I have to see Qian Xunji again today, and I don't know how to face him!] [Should I leave Spirit Hall?] [Otherwise, sooner or later I'll be imprisoned in a secret chamber... and become his tool for bearing children!] [Waaah... Can anyone save me?]

After learning what the future held, Young Bibi Dong woke that morning tense and unsettled.

Whenever she thought about the vile intentions behind Qian Xunji taking her as his disciple, anxiety and panic filled her heart.

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: What's there to be nervous about? Just act as you normally do.] [If you want a chance to leave, you'll only get one when you go out traveling.] [Otherwise, you won't escape Qian Xunji's grasp. Spirit Hall is far too powerful!] [Spirit Hall Saintess: But the moment I picture Qian Xunji's face, I feel sick.] [He treats me so well right now. Am I being too selfish?] [He's put so much into training me, and now I'm supposed to hate him? Be on guard against him?] [A Leaf Knows Autumn: At least you're aware of that.] [You can find a chance to repay him. Once you feel you've done enough, you can leave!] [Spirit Hall Saintess: But how am I supposed to repay him? He already has everything!] [A Leaf Knows Autumn: Keep chatting. You might get a lucky draw later that gives you a way to repay him!] [For now, take a deep breath, calm your mind, and face Qian Xunji.] [Spirit Hall Saintess: All right!]

Young Bibi Dong closed her eyes and took a deep breath, her full chest rising and falling.

A moment later, she opened her eyes and the door. Her teacher was walking toward her, followed by two Elders.

"Good morning, Teacher!"

As always, she bowed respectfully to Qian Xunji.

Then they went to eat breakfast.

Later, they arrived in Heaven Dou City and went straight to the venue for the Upper Three Sects' competition.

The matches on the stage were already in full swing.

Silver snakes flashed wildly across the stage, and a massive hammer rose high before crashing down with tremendous force.

Of course, the Upper Three Sects' competition was largely a showcase for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Clear Sky Sect.

The Clear Sky Sect's disciples, in particular, held the advantage.

In the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's section sat its sect master, Yu Yuanba, and his sons, Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian.

Beside Yu Yuanzhen sat a thirteen-year-old boy.

Young Bibi Dong knew who he was the moment she saw him.

Yu Xiaogang.

He was only level nine.

He really was useless.

Yet Yu Yuanzhen still had him seated at his side. Clearly, he treated him well.

"His Holiness the Pope has arrived!"

Elder Lion's voice rang out.

The lively venue, filled with cheers and shouts, suddenly fell silent.

Even the fighting onstage stopped.

Qian Xunji strode forward in his papal robes, his face expressionless and his presence imposing.

Young Bibi Dong followed at his side.

Ning Hai, Yu Yuanzhen, and Tang Shan rose to their feet.

"Greetings, Your Holiness."

They saluted.

Everyone else rose as well.

"Greetings, Your Holiness."

"Rise. The younger generation of the Upper Three Sects is truly brimming with talent.

In the next match, the Saintess will spar with members of your younger generation! She's only fourteen, so you may send two against her."

Qian Xunji spoke calmly, his voice quiet yet thunderous to every ear.

The three sect masters narrowed their eyes at the breathtakingly beautiful girl beside him.

Her face was expressionless, her gaze calm as still water.

Yet they could sense that she had already reached level forty-nine.

"What? Four... fourteen years old and level forty-nine?"

Tang Shan, a Titled Douluo, sensed the girl's Soul Power and cried out in astonishment.
