With that comparison, Lin Chen was the truly heaven-defying genius.
Not only was he strong, but his luck was heaven-defying too.
Powerhouses like them all believed deeply in luck.
Something so intangible and mysterious did, in fact, truly exist.
Further growth in strength also depended heavily on luck.
Mu En had simply been a little luckier than Du Bisou, which was why he had broken through to the realm of Limit Douluo.
Now it seemed Lin Chen was a monster among peerless prodigies, perhaps even every bit Tang Ya's equal.
And that explained everything.
With a hundred-thousand-year fourth soul ring granting two additional Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skills, combined with Tang Ya's top-tier mutated martial soul...
The two of them really did have the ability to join forces and kill a ten-thousand-year soul beast.
After all, the pressure from a hundred-thousand-year soul beast's soul ring alone could suppress a ten-thousand-year soul beast.
So it was entirely possible that they had hunted down Tang Ya's two soul rings themselves.
Even so, they were still deeply shocked. It was simply too outrageous.
A three-ring Soul Elder and a four-ring Soul Ancestor could actually join forces to kill a ten-thousand-year soul beast.
Both were monsters among peerless geniuses. Fortunately, they had both come to Shrek Academy.
At that, Yan Shaozhe's attitude immediately changed.
But no matter how much his attitude changed, Lin Chen still refused to give him a pleasant look.
"Now that you've finished asking your questions, may we leave?"
Lin Chen stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes.
"Today seems to be the last day of registration at Shrek. If we delay any longer, we won't make it."
"Of course."
Yan Shaozhe immediately made a call through soul tool communication.
The next moment, a bespectacled figure hurried over from outside and waited beyond the Sea God Pavilion's main doors.
It was none other than Du Weilun, the director of studies for Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department.
"You and that boy-what was his name again?"
Yan Shaozhe waved a hand.
"Huo Yuhao is getting special admission, right? Go together. He's the director of studies, so have him handle your enrollment directly."
"Fast-track everything."
Whoa, how generous.
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow.
"All right."
He couldn't be bothered to keep tangling with them anyway.
He had secured the greatest possible benefits for Tang Ya. His goal had been achieved.
And once he joined Shrek Academy, his mission would effectively begin.
Soon, he could work undercover on four fronts.
A servant of four masters. That's really what I've become.
But my daily check-in points will jump straight to four. Sweet.
Du Weilun led Huo Yuhao and Lin Chen out of the Sea God Pavilion.
What remained was private business between Tang Ya, Bei Bei, Mu En, and the others.
It was none of Lin Chen's business, and he couldn't be bothered with it.
Not everyone enjoyed munching on melon seeds while watching other people's drama.
All Lin Chen knew was that Bei Bei's days as a lovesick lapdog were completely over.
But wasn't that a kind of liberation too?
By helping Bei Bei escape a gold digger like Tang Ya, he had done a good deed, hadn't he?
Still, the most satisfying part of today had been giving Shrek a vicious tongue-lashing.
He had wanted to curse them out for ages, and now he had finally found a chance to tear those little bastards apart.
One man, one mouth, leaving everyone without the slightest room to talk back. That feeling was simply incredible.
When dealing with super geniuses, Shrek was always so efficient!
Before long, Huo Yuhao and Lin Chen successfully enrolled at Shrek Academy.
His mission to infiltrate Shrek had officially begun.
At that point, he and Huo Yuhao went their separate ways.
Their dorm rooms were in different buildings.
Holding his room tag, Lin Chen headed toward his dorm room.
The door was open.
He could tell his roommate had already arrived, though no one was there.
The room was seriously filthy.
Had a single summer vacation really left this much dust?
Still, Lin Chen wasn't incapable of handling a little hardship. He rolled up his sleeves and got straight to work.
Once he had cleaned his own space and finished his half of the room, he stopped.
He would leave the other half to his roommate.
Before long, his roommate arrived.
Lin Chen looked up at her.
She had delicate features, short blue hair, and an unmistakably aristocratic air.
Her expression, however, was haughty and arrogant.
Looks like trouble.
Lin Chen shook his head, not wanting to bother with her.
But just then, the blue-haired youth looked at Lin Chen.
The next moment, her eyes went wide.
He's so handsome!
She had already thought up countless ways to put her new roommate in his place.
But at that moment, she forgot every last one.
Lin Chen was simply too handsome.
Living with someone like him for a few years didn't seem like such a bad thing.
Damn it, Wang Dong, snap out of it! Beauty leads people astray!
I can't forget what matters just because he's handsome.
Since I'm disguising myself as a boy, I have to lay down some ground rules. Otherwise, living here will be impossible.
So she forcibly suppressed her amazement, cleared her throat, and addressed Lin Chen fiercely.
"So you're my new roommate?"
"You don't look like much."
"Oh, neither do you."
Since she clearly hadn't come in peace, Lin Chen didn't bother being pleasant either.
That left Wang Dong choking on her words.
"You-"
"What about me?"
Without even looking up, Lin Chen continued organizing his belongings.
"If you're full, go run around and help your digestion. Don't come hovering in front of me just because you've eaten your fill and have nothing better to do. I don't have time for you."
"That won't do."
Wang Dong held her head high and took a step forward.
"We'll be living together for the next few years. We need to establish some rules."
"One look tells me you're weaker than I am."
"Starting today, I'm the boss of this room. You'll do everything I say, including all the cleaning."
"Most importantly, you absolutely cannot come in when I'm bathing."
Uh...
Lin Chen listened as Wang Dong listed her ground rules, each harsher than the last.
This familiar routine...
He immediately looked at her in confusion.
"Your name. What's your name?"
"I'm Wang Dong. What about you?"
Wang Dong lifted her chin, her face full of pride.
It really is Wang Dong.
How did Wang Dong get assigned to my room?
What about Huo Yuhao?
What's supposed to happen to Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er's destined romance?
Am I the lapdog now?
No. I'd sooner be the blond homewrecker than a lapdog. Besides, there's no way I'd fall for Wang Dong.
"You said you're stronger than me, so you get to be my boss."
Lin Chen lay on his bed and spoke lazily.
"So you mean whoever's stronger gets to be the boss, and the other person has to obey them in the dorm from now on?"
"Of course."
Wang Dong was very confident in her strength, and she raised her chin even higher.
"Really?"
Lin Chen smiled.
As he lay on the bed, his gaze suddenly changed.
His languid eyes instantly turned cold and sharp, like an unsheathed blade.
The next moment...
Black light flashed, and a pitch-black Dart Blade materialized out of thin air. An emerald sheen of life flowed across its surface as it gave off a faint, chilling gleam.
Then his body flashed.
He appeared directly behind Wang Dong.
There was no fluctuation of soul power, no sound whatsoever. It was as though he had teleported out of thin air.
The Dart Blade left its sheath.
Blade draw.
