Ning Tian covered her red lips, her azure eyes shimmering with crystalline tears, like ripples in a clear spring. Her delicate, round shoulders trembled, and tears silently streamed down her face, glistening and transparent.

She gazed intently at the figure before her, his features clean and warm, as if retaining the last rays of late spring. His bright, golden eyes shone like morning stars, and the laughter in their depths seemed to gather all the world's beauty.

Ling Bai defeated everyone with the grace of a descending god, yet he admitted his defeat to himself. What Ning Tian cared about was not the soul bone, but the feeling of being favored by Ling Bai.

This feeling was like Cupid firing an Italian Cannon at her, leaving her dazed and surrendering.

"Brother Bai, I..."

Ning Tian's red lips parted slightly, as if she was about to say something, but Ling Bai, who knew her well, placed a finger on her lips and chuckled, "Xiao Tian, I've seen your recent mood and actions, and I understand what you want to do. The Medusa Skull is a solidifying soul skill, and Medusa's Gaze will surely be a great help on your future path.

Besides, I've already given it to you, with so many people watching. Don't make me lose face, okay?"

"Mm!"

Ning Tian nodded vigorously, solemnly vowing not to disappoint Ling Bai!

The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower has sent its direct disciples to Shrek Academy for generations, so they have a good understanding of Shrek's patterns.

The Continent-Wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Duel Tournament is held every five years, and next year will be the time for the next tournament. Shrek Academy will send two teams: the Shrek Seven Monsters and the Seven Monsters Reserve Team, composed of inner and outer academy disciples, respectively.

The Seven Monsters Reserve Team-she and Huo Yuhao's trio will surely have another intense battle!

Ning Tian is not the type to endure humiliation silently. She wants to wash away her disgrace with dignity!

At this moment, the two of them looked deeply devoted, feeding the single-dog food to the four hundred and more first-year students.

Cao Jinxuan slowly woke up, turning his head to see Ling Bai and Ning Tian feeding each other, and immediately turned to his good friend Zhou Sichen, lamenting, "Brother Zhou, do I look like a cheap person? Why do I get hit the moment I open my eyes!"

"Just don't look."

Zhou Sichen pulled down Cao Jinxuan's eyelids, murmuring, "It's not our fault, it's the fault of this world that mocks single dogs."

"Brother Zhou, I'm so upset. I can't beat him, and now I can't even outplay him!"

It wasn't just Cao Jinxuan and Zhou Sichen; the first-year boys all looked sour, as if they had eaten two pounds of sour plums. Whether in appearance, personality, talent, or background, Ning Tian was flawless.

Thus, many male students decided to embark on the 'dog-licking' journey, and senior disciples, upon learning that the successor of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower had appeared, also pursued Ning Tian fiercely, hoping to climb the social ladder.

The male students felt bitter, as Ning Tian never showed any interest in her suitors, making them believe they still had a chance to win her heart, in case the goddess went blind one day. Now their hopes were shattered. A peer, who surpassed them in both talent and looks, appeared out of nowhere, forming a deep connection with Ning Tian at first sight!

Ling Bai seemed to be taken, and the female students naturally felt very sorry, but their innate talent for gossip and CP brain fever made them temporarily forget the handsome guy and the battle defeat. The Lan Sisters and other fangirls watched the well-matched couple from afar, their faces breaking into silly, pink smiles.

Everything was harmonious and friendly, except for Wu Feng's furious grinding of teeth, which somewhat disrupted the atmosphere.

"What a thrilling battle!"

The head of the Soul Master Department, Du Weilun, led the applause, and the stands soon echoed with the teachers' approving claps.

"Teacher Li, thank you for your trouble."

"No problem."

Teacher Li, a middle-aged man in white, raised his smooth, childlike hands, and gentle green light grew from his palms. Seven soul rings, yellow, purple, black, and black, rose from his feet, revealing him to be a Soul Saint.

The green light formed the shape of leaves, and Teacher Li's sixth soul ring flickered. A gentle breeze seemed to blow through the Soul Duel Arena, and four hundred and fifty-one green leaves flew out, landing lightly on Ling Bai and the first-year students' foreheads.

A cool, life-affirming energy instantly nourished their bodies, dispelling the fatigue and weakness from soul power depletion, healing minor injuries from the battle, and rapidly restoring their physical strength.

A top-tier healing soul master, the Tree of Life.

Under the Tree of Life's nourishment, the students returned to their peak state. Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Dai Huabin, and others woke up. If not for Ling Bai and Ning Tian standing in the center of the Soul Duel Arena, they would have thought it was just a bad dream.

Three pairs of eyes instantly locked onto Ling Bai. Dai Huabin's was pure battle intent. He and Ling Bai were strangers, with no enmity between them. The White Tiger soul master is a combat and killing soul master, and Dai Huabin had previously believed he was unbeatable among his peers. Now he finally had a target to chase!

In contrast, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's eyes were much more complex. The former's eyes were a mix of wariness, disappointment, battle intent, fear, and awe, like a pie chart. The latter's eyes held a deep, hidden hatred.

Teacher Li finished his healing and retreated to the teachers' ranks. Du Weilun cleared his throat, and his loud voice echoed throughout the arena, "First-year students, did you see that? This is what Shrek's inner academy is like, this is what a true monster is! Four hundred and fifty students, unable to defeat one peer!"

Hearing this, the first-year students lowered their heads in shame. No one present was stupid; Ling Bai's defeat by Ning Tian was just a formality. No one would foolishly claim they won with the help of a support soul master like Ning Tian.

"I can clearly tell you that Shrek is a paradise for monsters, only monsters can enter, and only the best of the best can leave!

And the inner academy disciples, like Ling Bai, climbed in by stepping on the heads of countless monsters. Most of your talents and abilities are uncertain, and whether you can graduate from the outer academy is still unknown, let alone the inner academy!"

Du Weilun's words were a heavy blow to the first-year students. The harsh reality was laid bare before them. The monsters from all over the continent, kneeling before a towering, monstrous figure, saw their pride from passing the freshman exam vanish, and their mindset became as cautious as walking on thin ice.

Ling Bai leisurely surveyed the crowd. Du Weilun was indeed exaggerating, but it was a teaching method. Just like in the past, making you do an extremely difficult test to suppress you, the ultimate goal was not to suppress but to motivate through shame.

Du Weilun continued, "Given your poor performance, I have decided to add an exam next year! All of you will challenge Ling Bai again. If your performance is still this bad, then please leave Shrek voluntarily, so you don't waste several years of your precious time failing the

graduation exam!"

Huh?

No!

It was supposed to be one battle, why suddenly another?

Ling Bai saw through it; Du Weilun was not a good person!

Ning Tian felt deeply humiliated by her loss to Huo Yuhao and vowed to reclaim her honor. The four hundred plus losers, hearing they could fight Ling Bai again, were also filled with a burning desire to battle, a flame raging within them.

Ling Bai cursed Du Weilun in his heart, "You damn troublemaker!"

The plan ended perfectly, and Du Weilun's worries were lifted. He turned to Zhou Yi and said, "Remember to fulfill our bet. I expect to see your transfer application tomorrow morning."

"Understood."

Zhou Yi clenched her teeth, seemingly forcing out the words.

The position of class teacher at the continent's top soul master academy was a dream for many soul masters, but she lost it so easily, and now she had to roll over to the soul conductor

department to do logistics.

She was not willing!

"Director Du, I've contributed to the Soul Master Department over the years, with the highest graduation rate among all teachers! Give me another chance, I promise not to dismiss

students arbitrarily..."

The situation was dire, and Zhou Yi began to soften, listing her achievements to Du Weilun,

but he remained unmoved, coldly saying, "A gentleman's word is as binding as a horse's gallop. Is Teacher Zhou the type to make promises lightly?"

As he spoke, a Soul Douluo-level pressure enveloped Zhou Yi, making her bones creak and her face contort as if she would shatter at any moment.

Zhou Yi, under the pressure, sweat pouring down her face, managed to say, "I'm sorry, Director Du. My transfer application will be submitted to you tomorrow."

Du Weilun withdrew the pressure, nodding in satisfaction. He then remembered something and said, "The bet also includes a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone. Fulfill it soon." Zhou Yi clenched her fists, veins bulging on her forehead. She took a deep breath, reached into

her storage soul conductor, and pulled out a white jade box, tossing it to Du Weilun before hastily leaving, heading towards the soul conductor department.

"That's it for today. Everyone go back to your dorms and practice hard. Teachers, get some

rest. Ling Bai, come to the director's office!"

As the sky grew dark, Du Weilun dismissed the first-year students and teachers, but specifically kept Ling Bai behind.

"Today is a good day. Zhou Yi's gone, and I'm so happy~"

On the way, Ling Bai suffered from Du Weilun's annoying voice, maintaining a five-meter

safety distance from him with a deadpan face.

"Bang!"

Du Weilun closed the office door, his face splitting into a red grin. The Soul Master

Department had rid itself of Zhou Yi like a patient cutting out a tumor. No more overflowing complaint boxes, no more geniuses being dismissed for no reason.

Seeing Ling Bai's speechless expression, Du Weilun took out the jade box and pushed it towards him, smiling, "This is a Ten-Thousand-Year Mad Rhino right leg soul bone, worth at least a million gold soul coins. It's your fee."

Ling Bai saw through it; Du Weilun was a good person!

Making a million in one afternoon, hehe, next time too!

"Director Du, you're too kind. I'm a senior and should naturally take care of the growth of the

outer academy juniors!"

Ling Bai mouthed the words, but his hands didn't slow in taking the jade box. "Enough, no need for false modesty!" Du Weilun laughed heartily, "You've worked hard

today. Go back to Sea God Island and rest!"

Ling Bai thanked him with a smile. This solo battle against all the first-year students helped

Ning Tian save face and earned him a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone. Du Weilun cleared Zhou Yi from the Soul Master Department and ignited the students' passion for practice.

Both got what they wanted; no one lost out.

As Ling Bai walked out of the Soul Master Department building, the sky was dark, and a full

moon rose high, casting a silver glow.

The night view of Shrek Academy was beautiful. Ling Bai bathed in the moonlight, appreciating the scenery, feeling his soul cleansed, and his fatigue and worries vanished.

Fifteen minutes later, Ling Bai reached the outer academy's Sea God Lake. Just as he was about to cross the lake, a familiar fiery red figure appeared in his field of vision.

Wu Feng!

Seeing Wu Feng, Ling Bai rubbed his eyes in disbelief. This guy was running around the Sea

God Lake at night!

"Um..."

Ling Bai couldn't help but laugh and cry. Running at midnight, Wu Feng had learned all the

bad habits of Shrek!

What, copying Huo Yuhao?

He has a cheat, do you?

For a soul master, running is like a fish riding a bicycle.

The effect of running is negligible. Huo Yuhao ran to exhaust his energy, making the Mystic

Sky Technique better nourish his meridians. Replacing running with sit-ups would have the

same effect.

So... Wu Feng, what's your problem?

"Huff... Huff..."

Wu Feng's white school uniform was thoroughly soaked. Her figure was already fiery, and

now it was even more enticing, with a curvaceous figure.

Seeing Ling Bai, she ignored him, panting heavily and continuing her run.

Ling Bai crossed his arms, remaining calm.

Human strength has its limits, he thought.

One lap... two laps... five laps...

Wu Feng ran lap after lap, losing count of how many she had run. Her feet felt heavy as lead,

her body exhausted, her feet aching, and her breathing painful. She bit her lips until they turned white, unwilling to stop in front of Ling Bai.

Her soul power and physical strength were completely drained, relying solely on her willpower. But the human body has its limits, and Wu Feng collapsed in front of Ling Bai withNôv(el)B\\jnn

a thud.

"Sss-"

Wu Feng sucked in a cold breath, trying several times to push herself up but failing. Then, she

felt a shadow over her.

She knew who it was, and precisely because she knew, she desperately wanted to get up.

"In the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower's basic soul master education, there is no mention of running to promote cultivation."

Sitting on the ground, she slowly raised her head, her red and golden eyes meeting. A misty layer of tears formed in Wu Feng's eyes, and she struggled to hold back, but the tears fell like broken pearls. Her fiery red hair was wet, with two strands sticking to her pale cheeks.

"Ling Bai, I want to become stronger..."

She murmured. "Louder, I can't hear you." "Ling Bai, I want to become stronger!" Somehow, Wu Feng leapt up and shouted at Ling Bai.

"You bully me, but I endured it for Ning Tian. Now, when others bully Ning Tian, it's unacceptable! Ling Bai, I know you're much stronger than those outer academy teachers. Please, teach me to become stronger! I want to help Ning Tian defeat all her opponents, no

matter what it takes!"

On the night by the Sea God Lake, the girl shouted out her frustration and her desire to

become stronger!

"No matter what, including your life?" Ling Bai asked.

"Life, soul, I don't want them. I only want strength!"

When Ning Tian fled with her face in her hands, her heart shattered. Wu Feng vowed that Ning

Tian would never feel the humiliation of failure again in her life!

"Rent a private room at the Soul Duel Arena. After the Soul Master Department classes end,

I'll wait for you there. Every night, I'll personally train you for two hours, in practical

combat."

Ling Bai rose into the air, his clear voice resonating in Wu Feng's ears.

"Okay!"

Wu Feng's eyes gleamed. If there was a choice, who would like to run stupidly!

"Don't cry to the heavens and earth like when you were a kid after losing."

Hearing this, Wu Feng's cheeks flushed, and she shouted, "Impossible! One day, I will surpass you!"

In the air, two golden characters appeared, dancing like dragons and phoenixes.

Expectation.
