Pretty Young Man? A Thousand-Year Second Ring!

Noticing that Tang San and Xiao Wu were secretly following him, Yang Tian paid them no mind and wandered through the streets of Suotuo City.

Before long, he arrived at a bustling commercial street.

Just then, a girl in a plain dress approached from the opposite direction. She was exceptionally beautiful and carried an otherworldly air. With an armful of snacks, she skipped along cheerfully.

Yang Tian looked over just as the girl looked his way. Their eyes met, and Yang Tian blinked. His powerful spiritual power allowed him to detect the Soul Masters concealed in the shadows, giving him a guess about the girl's identity.

The girl's pretty face flushed slightly before she rolled her eyes at Yang Tian. "What are you staring at? Have you never seen a princess as beautiful as me?"

Yang Tian froze for a moment, then came back to his senses. He had forgotten—Ning Rongrong was the Little Devil Girl of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

To think he had been snapped at for no reason by a little girl. Yang Tian smiled wryly, then disdainfully swept his gaze over Ning Rongrong's flat chest. "Indeed, I've never seen such a beautiful young man."

"..."

Ning Rongrong paused, then looked down at her own chest, her beautiful eyes widening round. Yet Yang Tian had already vanished without a trace, leaving her with nowhere to vent her anger.

After taking a turn around Suotuo City, Yang Tian felt somewhat disappointed. He had originally hoped to run into a little kitty by chance...

Tang San, on the other hand, just as in the original story, picked up a treasure from Flender's shabby shop.

The next day, the three left through Suotuo City's southern gate and headed for Shrek Academy outside the city.

Heat shimmered above the golden wheat fields. Xiao Wu wore a miserable expression as her delicate hand lightly fanned herself.

Yang Tian smiled. With Heavenly Flames in his body, he feared neither heat nor cold.

Soon, a village came into view. Xiao Wu was the first to run over, but she soon turned back with a disappointed look.

"What? This is the academy the Grandmaster recommended?"

Pointing at the dilapidated academy gate ahead of the line, Xiao Wu was beginning to regret coming here.

"Appearances can be deceiving." Yang Tian glanced over Shrek Academy's gate. Dilapidated was the most fitting description for it.

Beside him, Tang San nodded in agreement with Yang Tian's words. However, the sentence Yang Tian added immediately afterward made Tang San's face darken.

Yang Tian said, "Appearances can be deceiving. Take Tang San, for example. He looks ordinary and harmless, but who would know that this guy is cunning and treacherous, with extraordinary strength?"

Xiao Wu looked at Tang San awkwardly. Tang San, meanwhile, silently turned his head aside. As though he had long since grown used to it, he chose to ignore him. Only a barely audible laugh sounded behind Yang Tian.

Yang Tian turned around and saw that the owner of that laugh was a young girl.

The girl's black hair draped over her shoulders. She stood around one meter sixty-five tall, with a youthful face that made her seem even younger than Xiao Wu. Her hot, voluptuous figure was utterly at odds with her age.

The expression on the girl's face was very indifferent, a coldness that came from the depths of her heart—a pure coldness. Yet at that moment, she covered her Red Lips with a delicate hand, as if holding back laughter.

Yang Tian stared at Zhu Zhuqing's exquisite face and put on a mischievous smile. "What are you laughing at?"

At his words, Zhu Zhuqing's cool eyes turned toward Yang Tian, her gaze somewhat blank. But she quickly realized her lapse, her cheeks reddened, and she lowered her head.

"Nothing." Zhu Zhuqing's coldness did not surprise Yang Tian. Instead, he understood it well. It was a kind of despair.

At that moment, seeing Yang Tian stare unblinkingly at another girl, Xiao Wu could not help tugging on his arm. "Heavenly Brother, how can you stare at a girl like that?"

Yang Tian glared at Xiao Wu. "I'm finding you a sister-in-law. Why are you butting in?"

Xiao Wu froze. Tang San froze. Even Zhu Zhuqing looked at Yang Tian in disbelief and quietly took a step back. Although Yang Tian was very handsome, Zhu Zhuqing was not someone who judged by looks.

Just then, a gentle voice suddenly rang out. "You're obviously just lusting after her beauty."

Yang Tian followed the voice and saw that it was Ning Rongrong. At that moment, she was refined and graceful, her voice gentle enough to soothe the heart.

She's pretending!

Yang Tian shot Ning Rongrong a glance. "Little brother, you're not convinced? So what if I was attracted by her looks?"

Yang Tian's punchable expression made Ning Rongrong grit her teeth and clench her little fists tightly. But she knew she could not possibly be Yang Tian's match. Still, that "little brother" was simply too hateful!

So she grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's arm and moved to the back of the line. "Stay away from him. He's not a good person."

Zhu Zhuqing said nothing. She would not judge whether someone was good or bad based on a few words from others.

Yang Tian glared at Ning Rongrong. At that moment, Tang San called out from the academy gate, "Xiao Wu, Heavenly Brother, it's your turn."

Yang Tian looked over and saw that the line ahead had already disappeared. Tang San had also passed the first round of assessment.

"Coming, coming." At Tang San's words, Xiao Wu skipped over to the old man and quickly passed the assessment as well.

Just as Yang Tian stepped forward, Ning Rongrong ran ahead of him. "I'll go first."

As she spoke, she directly summoned her Martial Soul, releasing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and two yellow Soul Rings.

"Not bad. Your bone age is suitable." After checking her bone age, the old man gestured for Ning Rongrong to pass the first round.

Having passed, Ning Rongrong smugly lifted her chin at Yang Tian, her face brimming with pride. Half of the Little Devil Girl's fox tail had already been exposed.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? The continent's number one support-type Weapon Martial Soul." Tang San immediately spoke, making no attempt to hide his admiration. This made Ning Rongrong even prouder.

Yang Tian ignored Ning Rongrong, then looked at Zhu Zhuqing. "You first?"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and stepped forward.

A moment later, the old man smiled in satisfaction. "Not yet twelve years old, yet already possessing such cultivation. Not bad, not bad.

Young man, you come too."

Yang Tian was the last one left. He no longer hesitated and extended one hand.

After checking his bones, the old man nodded in satisfaction. "Release your Martial Soul."

Yang Tian nodded, then raised his right hand. A cluster of glazed flames intertwined with azure and crimson rose up.

"Fire?" Feeling the scorching heat radiating from the flames in Yang Tian's palm, the old man nodded. Yet the next scene made his eyes widen.

"Th-this is... a purple Soul Ring?"

The old man stared in shock at the Soul Ring beneath Yang Tian's feet, then rubbed his eyes in disbelief and checked again and again.

Ning Rongrong murmured, "It's just purple. What's so impressive abou..."

As she spoke, Ning Rongrong unconsciously swallowed. A Thousand-Year Soul Ring was nothing remarkable, but what if that Thousand-Year Soul Ring was in the position of his second ring?

Beside her, even the cool-faced Zhu Zhuqing could not help looking at Yang Tian several more times, curiosity appearing in her eyes.

Behind the others, Dai Mubai remained silent, but inwardly thought, No wonder he's so strong!

Even Tang San and Xiao Wu, who already knew the result, could not help sighing inwardly. Heavenly Brother is way too monstrous!
