Shui Lingji was born
When Xue Beng first appeared, he was a complete wastrel, joining forces with Prince Xue Xing and Dugu Bo to drive away Tang San and the rest of Shrek.
Later, when he was whitewashed, Xiao Yao's jaw had nearly dropped in shock.
His reason for doing this was actually that the three education commissioners were "Xue Qinghe's" men. Since the three commissioners had recruited Shrek, they had to drive them away.
Reading that part in his previous life had left Xiao Yao numb.
You hadn't even figured out who your opponent was, yet you were already putting your "grand schemes for the ages" into action, huh?
The three education commissioners were absolute royalists, and Prince Xue Xing was also the honorary dean of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. With that connection, it was one thing not to show goodwill and win them over, but you actually targeted them at every turn.
If Qian Renxue hadn't suffered a sudden drop in intelligence and handed the three commissioners over to the opposing side, this pig would have been played to death long ago.
Qin Ming stepped forward, making the student who had called them "country bumpkins" shudder in fright.
The name "Tyrant" wasn't only known within the Heaven Dou Royal Team.
But he quickly regained his nerve. So what if he was the "Tyrant"? He had the fourth prince backing him.
Surely this "Tyrant" wouldn't dare turn that temper on His Highness the Fourth Prince.
He was just about to step forward and run his mouth when Qin Ming pressed down on his head and shoved him down.
Clearly, Qin Ming didn't even spare him a glance. "Your Highness, these two are genius students invited by His Highness the Crown Prince. Their talent is astonishing..."
Xue Beng played dumb, still acting like a wastrel:
"My eldest brother invited them? So what if my eldest brother invited them? Does that mean they can look down on our academy? I'm driving them out of the academy today, no matter what."
Xiao Yao could see it now. Everything was fine until "Xue Qinghe" was mentioned, but the moment he was, this pig got all worked up.
He had no objective at all. He was simply opposing things for the sake of opposing them.
But while he could drive Shrek away this way, Xiao Yao wouldn't let him have his way.
Wasn't it just Heaven Dou Royal Academy? He was staying, and that was final.
Xiao Yao stepped forward. "What if I don't leave? What can you do to me?"
Qin Ming froze for a moment. Ever since Xiao Yao entered the academy, he had carried himself like a modest gentleman. This was the first time he had looked like a punk.
Xiao Wu, on the other hand, was quite excited, because whenever Xiao Yao wore this expression during their sparring sessions, she would be routed, left casting aside her helmet and armor and kneeling to beg for mercy.
"Send you packing, of course. Boys, get him!"
Xue Beng showed none of the bearing of the Heaven Dou Empire's fourth prince. Instead, he was like a bandit chief, calling on his lackeys to swarm forward.
"Hmph. Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique, fallen heart flame-Wolf Spirit."
The Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique was not merely a powerful skill, but also a complete set of flame-control arts.
This was also why Xiao Yao had chosen to cultivate it first: it could greatly improve his control over flames.
Under Xiao Yao's control, the fallen heart flame transformed into a flaming war wolf. Its fangs, claws, and even fur were rendered in exquisite detail, lifelike in every way.
As it panted, fiery vapor rose from both sides of its cheeks.
Qin Ming stared in bewilderment, because the flaming Wolf Spirit before him actually bore some resemblance to his Martial Soul, the blazing fire war wolf.
With a single charge from the flaming Wolf Spirit, the lackeys were scattered in all directions, unable to get back up.
Its momentum unspent, the flaming Wolf Spirit charged straight at Xue Beng.
Xue Beng was immediately scared out of his wits and collapsed to the ground, a faint stench of urine wafting from him.
But just as the flaming Wolf Spirit was about to touch him, it suddenly dispersed into fiery vapor, streaming past Xue Beng without harming him in the slightest.
This offered a glimpse of Xiao Yao's current control over flames.
The stench of urine was particularly strong. Not only Xiao Yao, but Qin Ming and Teacher Feihong smelled it too, their expressions showing that they wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
Xue Beng immediately flushed scarlet. "Just you wait! I'll be back!"
Xiao Yao didn't stop him, because if he actually injured him, events would unfold just as they had in the original story, with Prince Xue Xing bringing Dugu Bo over to force their hand.
He was confident that Dugu Bo would absolutely be no match for him in the future, but now was not the time for a direct confrontation.
The current situation was just fine. Though Xue Beng made plenty of noise, without his uncle backing him, he wouldn't dare come bother Xiao Yao for a while.
And so, Xiao Yao and Xiao Wu settled down at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Time gradually passed. Xiao Wu often came out to use some of the training facilities, teaching that bunch of "country bumpkins" a lesson along the way.
After demonstrating her strength several times, and especially after revealing her talent, she became famous throughout Heaven Dou Royal Academy and was called the "Heaven Dou goddess."
By contrast, her older brother Xiao Yao kept to himself and rarely appeared. Aside from Qin Ming and a handful of others, no one even knew he existed.
Qin Ming and the three education commissioners all thought he was in secluded cultivation, unaware that he had long since left Heaven Dou Royal Academy...
As the holder of the Heavenly Book, Xiao Yao's fastest way to increase his strength, aside from secluded cultivation, was to unlock pages in the Wordless Heavenly Book and obtain all sorts of skills and spiritual treasures.
To obtain these treasures, he needed to raise his contracted partners' intimacy.
He had already maxed out Xiao Wu's intimacy, but he had only just started with his second contracted partner, Shui Bing'er.
After careful consideration, Xiao Yao decided to enter Skywater Academy and spend his days with Shui Bing'er.
Only then could he raise intimacy and obtain treasures.
However, as everyone knew, Skywater Academy only accepted beautiful female students, and their Martial Souls had to be related to water.
Xiao Yao felt he could pass off the sea heart flame as a water-attribute Martial Soul, but as for his sex, it seemed the Incomplete Chapter of the Seventy-Two Transformations would have to earn its keep...
Heaven Dou City had six prestigious academies: Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Godwind Academy, Thunder Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, Elephant Armor Academy, and Skywater Academy.
As the only academy open to commoners, Skywater Academy was also the only one located within Heaven Dou City.
Today was the academies' annual admissions day, and there was a large crowd outside Skywater Academy's gates.
It wasn't that there were many students applying to Skywater Academy. After all, its admissions requirements were the strictest of the six academies.
It was simply that today was a rare occasion when everyone from Skywater Academy appeared to welcome new students.
And whether they were current Skywater Academy students or those about to join, they were all rare beauties. Men who knew, knew.
The transformed Xiao Yao arrived at the back of the long queue, his outstanding appearance drawing the gazes of a whole crowd of lechers.
Even the haughty official students of Skywater Academy looked at him with a trace of envy.
After entering Skywater Academy, Xiao Yao planned to use only the sea heart flame for the time being.
To improve his flame control, and also to display a different set of tactics, the beauty Xiao Yao had transformed into this time was Yan Lingji.
A bewitching face and a sizzling figure.
Dressed in a water-blue gauze dress, his waist-length tresses danced gently in the breeze.
Who wouldn't be dazed at the sight of such an unparalleled beauty?
