Chapter 6 Huo Yuhao's Macho Roommate
Chapter 6: Huo Yuhao's Manly Roommate
The two returned to the dormitory, Wang Dong pouting, getting angrier the more he thought about it.
"I'm not convinced, you cheated, I was careless, if you have the guts, let's have another match!" Wang Dong said angrily.
He probably guessed that one of Xu Feng's Spirit Abilities prevented the opponent from releasing Spirit Abilities, but it definitely required touching the opponent. If he had used his second Spirit Ability, "Light of the Butterfly God," for a long-range attack immediately, he would have definitely made Xu Feng run away clutching his head.
Wang Dong furiously simulated the fight in his mind, constantly beating up Xu Feng, but still couldn't get over his anger.
"Stop imagining things. Losing is losing. And your second Spirit Ability consumes so much, how many times can you use it? As long as I touch you once, you'll still lose." Xu Feng leaned to the side, smiling as he looked at Wang Dong.
He thought the boy looked quite cute when he was angry.
"Hmph!"
Although Wang Dong didn't want to admit it, he couldn't refute it either, so he could only snort coldly and turn his head away.
"But no matter what, a bet is a bet. You lost, so from now on, you're my little brother. From now on, you'll be responsible for the dorm's cleaning, laundry, cooking, and so on. Of course, that includes washing underwear~" Xu Feng didn't indulge him and directly dumped all the chores on Wang Dong.
"You... you scoundrel!!!" Wang Dong's eyes welled up with tears again as he imagined his future dark life.
"I give up, why are you crying like a girl? It's as if I did something that angered both gods and men." Xu Feng was speechless when he saw Wang Dong about to cry again.
He admitted that Wang Dong was good-looking, but his personality was truly difficult to compliment. He could be a lover, but if he were to be a wife, he would need to be disciplined first.
"I..." Wang Dong was silenced on the spot.
He now really wanted to immediately revert to his female appearance, then transfer to the girls' dormitory, and escape from Xu Feng, this devil.
But his cross-dressing was originally for convenience, to avoid harassment from male students in the academy. If he reverted to female attire now, there would probably be even more trouble.
After much thought, Wang Dong still swallowed his anger and decided to cultivate diligently from now on, then find a support system teammate who could remove negative statuses to beat up Xu Feng and get his revenge.
Xu Feng no longer paid attention to Wang Dong and directly began cultivating.
He didn't know what Wang Dong was thinking, but since they were living in the same dorm anyway, he would have plenty of time to discipline him in the future. He would definitely make Wang Dong obedient. For now, he still needed to continue cultivating and strive to reach level 30 as soon as possible.
Just then, the long-awaited system prompt sounded:
[Detected that the host and Wang Dong's bond has deepened. Host's luck has greatly increased, gaining 10 Millennium spirit ring Pills, 100% full attribute boost, and 100% increase in cultivation speed.]
Seeing the rewards, Xu Feng was very satisfied.
The Millennium spirit ring Pills were undoubtedly supreme treasures, but he didn't plan to use them now. Instead, he would save them for his third spirit ring.
After all, the Spirit Ability effects of his first and second spirit rings were already completely sufficient. Adding more years would only be icing on the cake, not very useful.
The full attribute boost reward was also good, directly doubling his strength, physique, speed, etc., increasing his overall strength by at least five times.
The 100% increase in cultivation speed also meant it directly doubled, leading to higher cultivation efficiency.
It was a pity that Wang Dong's luck might be relatively low, as there were no heaven-defying treasures like Spirit Evolution Pills. It seemed that to get better rewards, it was best to fleece Huo Yuhao.
...
Meanwhile, in room 111.
Huo Yuhao finished his simple breakfast and immediately entered a state of cultivation.
After all, he knew his talent wasn't good, which was why he needed to cultivate even harder.
He just didn't know why, but these past two days, he always felt as if he had lost something in the depths of his being. This made him slightly irritable, and his cultivation efficiency also dropped significantly.
"Knock knock knock~"
"Is anyone there?"
Just then, the dorm door was knocked, and a tender voice came from outside. It sounded like he wasn't very old.
"Come in, the door's not locked."
Huo Yuhao knew his roommate had arrived and felt a bit of anticipation.
"Click~"
The door opened, and then Huo Yuhao saw a huge object completely blocking the entire doorway.
Huo Yuhao: ??? What the hell???
Just then, the shadow at the doorway suddenly moved, and with a whoosh, it darted into the dormitory.
The person who entered was over two meters tall, with dark skin. The vest he wore was almost bursting from his massive muscles, and his arms were even thicker than Huo Yuhao's thighs. But what was most surprising was that the person's face was very young, even with a hint of tenderness.
"Who are you!!!" Seeing this, Huo Yuhao sprang up from the bed, even drawing his dagger in alert, his small face full of vigilance.
He didn't remember ever offending such a deformed monster, and wasn't this Shrek Academy? How could such a monster suddenly break into his dormitory?
"Don't be afraid, classmate. My name is Dragon Three. I'm a new student at the academy."
"You're also in Dorm 111, right? We'll be roommates from now on."
Dragon Three quickly reassured Huo Yuhao and introduced himself, showing a friendly smile.
He wasn't very surprised by Huo Yuhao's reaction. Compared to some new students he had scared away, Huo Yuhao's performance was quite good.
"You, you, you... you're a new student??"
"Then doesn't that mean you're only 12 years old!"
Huo Yuhao was now also severely shocked by the muscular... youth in front of him, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his small face.
He couldn't imagine why, at the same age of 12, the other person could be so big!
In comparison, he looked like a toy in the other's hands. The other's single palm was bigger than his head.
"That's right~"
"Actually, I didn't want to come to Shrek, but I don't know why, my dad somehow got some news and insisted that I join Shrek."
Dragon Three nodded, sounding a bit helpless.
He was a member of the Long family in Shrek City. Because of his mutated Spirit, which caused his large physique, he was not very well-liked since childhood, and his peers didn't play with him.
He had long been used to this, so he wasn't interested in joining any academy. He only wanted to inherit the family business and contribute to his family.
Who knew his dad suddenly got some news and insisted he try Shrek? So he came, and unexpectedly passed the assessment right away. And Shrek didn't dislike him, which made him feel a bit touched.
"Ah, so that's how it is~"
"My name is Huo Yuhao. Since you've enrolled and are in this dorm, then we're roommates."
Although Huo Yuhao didn't know what the other party wanted to express, he still extended his hand and warmly welcomed him.
"Haha, yes, we're roommates!"
Dragon Three also extended his hand and shook Huo Yuhao's.
And at the moment their hands met, a very strange connection instantly occurred between the spirit power within their bodies, beginning to intermingle.
Huo Yuhao and Dragon Three were both stunned.
"What's that noise?" At the same time, the Tianmeng Iceworm in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea was also instantly awakened by this strange commotion.
And when the Tianmeng Iceworm saw the spirit power fluctuations between Huo Yuhao and Dragon Three, he was instantly stunnedChapter 7: Soul Fusion, Demonic Heart Sutra
Chapter 7: Spirit Fusion, Heavenly Devil Heart Sutra
"Huo Yuhao!! You've hit the jackpot!! Your spirit power is so close, it's highly possible you have a Spirit fusion skill!" Tianmeng Iceworm's surprised voice came from Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.
"What's going on? This feels so good…" Dragon Three was a bit confused, but subconsciously, he still held Huo Yuhao's hand tightly, and their spirit power flowed more smoothly.
Huo Yuhao noticed Dragon Three's warm, large palm, and his small face couldn't help but flush.
"Dragon Three, let go first…" Huo Yuhao struggled a bit, finding he couldn't break free, and quickly said.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, did I hurt you?!" Dragon Three quickly let go, his eyes full of concern.
"No… I'm fine. What did you feel just now?" Huo Yuhao felt Dragon Three's heavy breathing and quickly changed the subject.
"It felt very comfortable. I don't know why, but I feel like our spirit power is very close. When we held hands, I could even feel the restlessness of my Spirit. Huo Yuhao, what exactly is your Spirit? Can I see it?" Dragon Three asked curiously.
"My Spirit is the Spiritual Eye, which is my own eyes," Huo Yuhao slowly replied.
"Eye Spirit!" Upon hearing this, Dragon Three's eyes immediately lit up, and he directly released his own Spirit.
A sturdy black "one-eyed dragon" slowly appeared behind Dragon Three.
Dragon Three quickly introduced, "My Spirit is a black dragon. I call him 'Fatty Dragon,' but he only has one eye, while Yuhao, your Spirit is a pair of eyes…"
"Yuhao, is there a possibility that our Spirits can fuse and release a Spirit fusion skill?!" The more Dragon Three spoke, the brighter his eyes became, and his gaze towards Huo Yuhao was filled with delight.
No wonder his old man told him to join Shrek. He never expected to meet a roommate here who might have a Spirit fusion skill with him! This is too cool!
"Possibly… probably… Isn't Spirit fusion skill very rare? How could it be that easy…" Huo Yuhao gave an awkward laugh. For some reason, there was a deep-seated resistance within him.
It seemed that if he truly cultivated with the other party, he would lose something even more precious…
"Come on, let's give it a try!"
"Yuhao, release your Spirit. Maybe it really will work!"
Dragon Three didn't care about any of that. He looked at Huo Yuhao as if he were looking at a treasure and quickly urged him.
Spirit fusion skill is truly too rare, but Spirit fusion skill is also extremely powerful. Even the simplest fusion skill can cause the combat power of both parties to skyrocket several times over!
"Huo Yuhao, what are you waiting for? Such a good opportunity is too rare!"
"If you really have a Spirit fusion skill with him, then he will be your most important partner in the future!"
Tianmeng Iceworm clearly didn't understand things between men. He was bouncing around in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, appearing extremely excited.
He was worried about how to increase Huo Yuhao's cultivation speed, but if Huo Yuhao could cultivate with this Dragon Three, his cultivation speed would definitely skyrocket. This way, Huo Yuhao would be able to reach level 20 faster and then go to the Extreme North Land to find the Ice Empress.
"Bingbing, wait for me. I will definitely come to find you as soon as possible!" Tianmeng Iceworm secretly swore in his heart.
…
Finally, Huo Yuhao still released his Spirit.
His eyes emitted a faint golden glow, and a white spirit ring appeared beneath him.
"So this is your Spirit? How magical…" Subconsciously, Dragon Three pulled Huo Yuhao into his embrace.
Huo Yuhao's face was pressed tightly against Dragon Three's warm chest…
Huo Yuhao: ???
Their spirit power instantly intertwined.
"Boom—"
Huo Yuhao only felt his spirit power instantly become active. The bottleneck that had long remained unbroken shattered instantly, and his spirit power level reached 12.
"I broke through!!" Huo Yuhao was pleasantly surprised, recovering from his daze.
However, perhaps due to Huo Yuhao's instinctive repulsion, their Spirits failed to fuse successfully.
"Oh, you broke through?"
Dragon Three noticed Huo Yuhao's abnormality and quickly let go of Huo Yuhao.
"Dragon Three, thank you. My spirit power broke through a small level!" Huo Yuhao looked at Dragon Three, his eyes full of gratitude.
Although it felt a bit strange, his spirit power breakthrough was indeed due to the intertwining of his and Dragon Three's spirit power.
"Haha, congratulations, Yuhao~ Although our Spirits didn't fuse successfully, our spirit power does have a very strong affinity. If we can practice and cooperate more, who knows, we might really achieve a Spirit fusion skill in the future!" Dragon Three was also very happy. Although they didn't fuse successfully, he saw hope.
"Mm! I'll try my best!" Huo Yuhao also nodded seriously, but he quickly noticed a problem and suddenly asked, "By the way, Dragon Three, you're too tall. The bed in the dorm doesn't seem big enough. Do you want the school to get you a bigger bed?"
"Haha, don't worry, I'll just sleep on the floor. I'm used to it," Dragon Three laughed, taking out a huge quilt from his storage spirit tool and quickly making a bed on the floor. Although the dorm was simple, it was quite spacious, and Dragon Three sleeping on the floor seemed just right.
And when Huo Yuhao saw this scene, he immediately recalled the time when he and his mother slept on the floor in the White Tiger Duke's mansion when he was a child, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
For some reason, he saw his own shadow in Dragon Three…
"I will report this to the dorm supervisor. Dragon Three, you are also a member of Shrek, and you should also have your own bed!" Huo Yuhao thought to himself, determined to get Dragon Three a suitable bed.
…
"Detected that the host's luck has super doubled, obtaining the cultivation method "Heavenly Devil Heart Sutra"."
Xu Feng, who was cultivating, suddenly noticed the system prompt in his mind and was instantly a bit confused.
He quickly used his Eye of Destiny to check and was surprised to find that the thick, tightly connected line of destiny between Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao had suddenly become incredibly thin, as if a super muscular man had instantly turned into a scrawny dog.
Not only that, Xu Feng also saw that Huo Yuhao's dorm had an extra person, who should be his roommate, and there was an unusually thick line of destiny between Huo Yuhao and his roommate.
Clearly, that roommate was very likely to have a Spirit fusion skill with Huo Yuhao, and as the luck was weakened in the unseen, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's Spirits completely lost the possibility of fusion!
"No wonder the luck increase is so great this time. Intercepting Wang Dong seems to have an unimaginable impact on Huo Yuhao," Xu Feng muttered to himself, feeling that this wave was a huge profit.
He then quickly checked the cultivation method he had obtained.
On the Douluo Continent, cultivation methods were very rare. Even a martial arts World's internal cultivation method like "Mysterious Heaven Skill" could stir up wind and rain on this Douluo Continent, so how awesome would the cultivation method rewarded by the system be?Chapter 8 Class Dinner, Encounter with Tang Ya
Chapter 8: Class Dinner, Encountering Tang Ya
After a brief inspection, Xu Feng understood the profoundness of the Heavenly Devil Heart Sutra cultivation technique.
This cultivation technique is a top-tier demonic art. After cultivating it, one can plant a "demonic seed" in the hearts of others. The "demonic seed" will absorb and grow from various negative emotions on the Parasite host.
He can also subtly influence the host's mind with the "demonic seed." The "demonic seed" will gradually grow stronger, and a stronger "demonic seed" will allow him to deepen his influence over the host.
Once the "demonic seed" matures, the host will completely become his slave, fully obeying Xu Feng.
This is different from a puppet; a host Parasite by a "demonic seed" will retain a completely clear consciousness and show no abnormalities.
"This cultivation technique is too evil…"
"It's simply tailor-made for me, hehehe!!!!"
Upon learning the secrets of this cultivation technique, Xu Feng instantly felt a thrill.
The World has the existence of Evil Soul Masters, and this cultivation technique can perfectly counter Evil Soul Masters, and even transform them into his slaves!
Not only that, but this demonic seed, by absorbing the evil thoughts of Evil Soul Masters, can turn them into normal Spirit Masters while retaining their combat power!
If this cultivation technique were to spread, the entire Continent would surely go completely insane!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, calm down, calm down. This is just a regular system reward; there will be even better ones later…" Xu Feng forcibly suppressed his excited heart.
It was truly because this wave of system-rewarded cultivation techniques was too good, catching him off guard.
Taking advantage of Wang Dong's departure, Xu Feng quickly began cultivating this technique.
The cultivation technique is a demonic art; its main purpose is to create "demonic seeds" to control puppets. The growth of the "demonic seeds" will, in turn, feed back into himself, increasing his cultivation.
Even so, the strength of this cultivation technique far exceeds the Douluo Continent's level. Compared to that trashy Mysterious Heaven Skill, it is countless times more powerful. Even if used as a regular internal cultivation method, the speed of cultivating spirit power is still dozens of times faster than meditation!
Suddenly increasing cultivation speed by dozens of times was an unexpected bonus.
…
Time quickly passed, and it was noon. Xu Feng was still cultivating. If one looked closely, they could even see a vortex of heaven and earth essence energy coalescing around him.
Dozens of times the cultivation speed is not something ordinary meditation can compare to.
It is mainly because Spirit and spirit ring limit the creativity and imagination of Spirit Masters in this World, so there is simply no such heaven-defying thing as cultivation techniques. For hundreds of thousands of years, it has been like this, at most, some exceptionally talented individuals have created some martial skills, such as his Xu Family's spear techniques, adapted to their inherited Tool Spirit.
Or some saber techniques, sword techniques, fist techniques, etc. When these are integrated with one's Spirit, they become what are called "self-created Spirit Ability," which are extraordinarily powerful.
"Time to eat…"
Just then, Wang Dong returned to the dormitory in a sulk, carrying two boxes in his hands—one for his own meal and one for Xu Feng's.
However, seeing Xu Feng still cultivating, Wang Dong immediately put his hands on his hips and shouted, somewhat angrily, "Xu Feng! Eat!"
"Got it, got it. I'm not deaf. Keep your voice down." Xu Feng recovered from his cultivation and gave Wang Dong a speechless look.
Although people on this hormone-filled Continent develop relatively quickly, Wang Dong was still under 12 years old, and most of his memories had been sealed by Tang San, leaving him only with memories from his time in the Clear Sky Sect, which made him seem a bit childish.
"Hmph, who told you not to answer me!"
"And you're already so strong, yet you still cultivate. I really don't know what you're thinking."
Wang Dong grumbled.
He truly didn't understand Xu Feng. He clearly had such great strength, yet he still cultivated so diligently. Wouldn't it be better to just enjoy life? Look at how comfortable the scenery of Shrek is.
Cultivation was so boring; he really didn't know how the other person managed to persist in cultivating for an entire morning.
"That's because you have good talent and abundant resources; you can easily reach Spirit Grandmaster."
"My talent is poor, so naturally, I have to work harder."
Xu Feng rolled his eyes.
He wasn't lying about this. Without the system, he had worked hard to cultivate since he was 6 years old. Only he knew the hardships he endured back then.
Although he had the system now, he wouldn't neglect his cultivation.
This is a Xuanhuan sewer World, and it's still a place where the strong prey on the weak. If his cultivation is too low, he won't be able to do many things.
As his cultivation increases, his destiny system will also be able to strengthen. Currently, it can only modify 3 times at most, and only for things like changing dorms or changing classes.
Once his strength becomes great, the number of modifications should increase, and the scope of modifications should also strengthen, such as pulling all of Huo Yuhao's luck onto himself… or directly severing Wang Dong's father-daughter relationship with that dog Tang San… Well, these are just thoughts for now, and certainly not achievable in the short term.
"I really don't understand you…"
Wang Dong moved a table and chairs, arranged the food, and muttered softly.
Perhaps due to luck, or other reasons, Wang Dong's attitude towards Xu Feng had undergone some subtle changes.
"Oh, by the way, we checked, and we've both been assigned to Class Nine. Someone just found me and said they wanted to have a dinner together to get to know each other early. Do you want to come along?" Wang Dong suddenly remembered something and looked at Xu Feng, asking.
"Dinner party?"
"Wait, how did those people know we were both in Class Nine?"
Xu Feng was a bit confused. Wasn't student information supposed to be confidential? How did everyone know he was in Class Nine?
"I just went to Class Nine to check out the classroom and met some other students who are also in Class Nine. They told me."
"And you were only focused on cultivating, so what would you know?"
Wang Dong rolled his eyes and pouted slightly.
"Alright, call me tonight." Xu Feng nodded and agreed.
Actually, this was similar to his previous life. Every class was different, and some classes had some socially adept individuals who probably liked to engage in these social niceties.
Xu Feng knew without thinking that the person spearheading this gathering was definitely aiming to run for class monitor, trying to build good relationships over a meal and use the opportunity to solicit votes. He had seen plenty of such things in his previous life.
After eating, Wang Dong ran off to play again, clearly unable to sit still.
Xu Feng, however, thought Wang Dong's mindset was good and decided to go for a stroll himself.
By the Sea God Lake.
It was the beginning of the school year, and the autumn air was crisp and pleasantly cool.
Scattered students walked by the lake, occasionally looking towards the opposite shore. That was an area enveloped in a faint mist, and it was also the sacred place that all Outer Courtyard students yearned for—the Inner Courtyard.
Only students who entered the Inner Courtyard were the backbone of Shrek, the true prodigies of Shrek.
The annual enrollment exceeded a thousand people, but fewer than double digits entered the Inner Courtyard each year.
Xu Feng glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze. It was just the Inner Courtyard; he wasn't particularly interested. After all, he had the system, and entering the Inner Courtyard would only be icing on the cake for him.
Just then, Xu Feng's mind stirred, and he suddenly looked into the distance.
He saw three people approaching about a hundred meters in front of him: two males and one female. Xu Feng had seen them all before; they were the three remaining members of the Tang Sect—Tang Ya, Beibei, and Huo YuhaoChapter 9: The Devil's Heart, Tang Ya's Inner Demon
Chapter 9: Heavenly Demon Seed in the Heart, Tang Ya's Inner Demon…
"Yuhao, do you like life at the Academy? How are your roommates?" Tang Ya chirped, circling Huo Yuhao and asking questions non-stop.
"Sister Xiaoya, don't worry, I'm doing very well, and my roommates are also very good…" Huo Yuhao thought of Dragon Three and scratched his head a bit awkwardly, but he didn't mention the matter of his spirit power merging with Dragon Three's.
"Hehehe~ That's good~"
"Oh right, Yuhao, your grilled fish skills are so good, why don't you set up a grilled fish stall at the school? That way, your daily living expenses will be covered. After all, even though we are your senior brother and sister, we won't directly give you money. Only this way can you be better trained~" Tang Ya suddenly said.
"Thank you, Sister Xiaoya, I will consider it." Huo Yuhao nodded seriously, feeling that Tang Ya made sense.
But it was also possible that Tang Ya just wanted to eat fish…
…
Xu Feng leaned against a willow tree, watching the group walk towards him, chatting and laughing, with a faint smile on his face.
However, the moment Tang Ya approached him, he suddenly sensed that something seemed to be hidden within Tang Ya's heart.
"Dark Blue Silver Grass, it's a good host~"
Xu Feng suddenly grinned. With a slight movement of his mind, a black seed, visible only to him, burst from his hand and instantly shot into Tang Ya's body.
Tang Ya, who was laughing, suddenly froze, her smile fading.
"Hmm? Sister Xiaoya, what's wrong?"
Huo Yuhao's mental force was keen, and he instantly detected the abnormality in Tang Ya's emotions.
"Xiaoya, are you alright!" Beibei also quickly asked with concern.
"I'm fine, just thought of some things~ You guys go ahead, I need to go back and rest a bit~" Tang Ya paused for a moment, then smiled brightly again.
"Xiaoya, I'll go with you." Beibei said, holding Tang Ya's small hand.
Tang Ya froze, instinctively wanting to resist, but in the end, she still nodded.
Huo Yuhao watched the two leave, a bit puzzled, but he didn't think much of it. After all, it was Tang Ya and Beibei's business, and it wasn't his place to ask too much right now.
…
"The 'demon seed' has been planted. I'll find a time to activate its effect~" Xu Feng felt the 'demon seed' taking root and sprouting within Tang Ya's body, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved upward.
Speaking of which, Tang Ya was really quite unlucky.
Just because her Spirit was Blue Silver Grass, she inexplicably inherited the position of Tang Sect Master, then was brainwashed by Tang Sect, and finally, both her parents died, and she herself almost kicked the bucket.
Tang Ya sought help from Clear Sky Sect and Shrek, wanting them to avenge her parents, but they all refused.
However, the seed of hatred had already been planted. In the original work, Tang Ya eventually became an Evil Soul Master and personally avenged her enemies.
Although she was later rescued, only she knew the suffering she endured.
The ending seemed beautiful, with Tang Sect being rebuilt to its former glory and flourishing, but in reality, only Tang Ya suffered from beginning to end. No matter how glorious Tang Sect became, her parents could not be resurrected, and the suffering she endured could not be forgotten.
The most ridiculous thing was that Tang Ya had no idea that she was a puppet manipulated at will by Tang Sect and Shrek, nor did she know that she was a pawn of powerful figures…
Trash Tang Sect, it should have been destroyed long ago.
…
Girls' Dormitory.
After shaking off Beibei, Tang Ya went straight back to her dormitory, threw herself onto the bed, and burrowed under the covers.
She didn't know why, but her heart was in turmoil at this moment.
Scenes from her childhood emerged from the depths of her mind, one after another.
"Xiaoya… run… quickly…"
"Xiaoya, don't mind us, we'll hold them off, you leave quickly…"
"Don't come back, never come back…"
"…"
…
"Father, Mother… I miss you so much…"
"I want to avenge you…"
Tang Ya sobbed softly. She truly wanted to avenge her parents, but she didn't have the ability.
Although she had joined Shrek Academy, no matter how hard she cultivated, she was still far from being able to avenge her parents.
Although she had obtained her third spirit ring a few days ago, and it was even a thousand-year Datura Snake spirit ring, her Spirit was just ordinary Blue Silver Grass. Even with the boost of a thousand-year spirit ring, it was still a useless Spirit with no powerful combat ability.
Moreover, her cultivation speed had already fallen far behind her peers.
Because her Spirit was Blue Silver Grass, her innate spirit power was only level 2. To reach this stage at her age, besides her parents giving her rare treasures in her childhood to increase her talent, it was mainly due to her frantic cultivation that she barely reached level 31 at this age.
Blue Silver Grass made her the Tang Sect Master, and because of it, both her parents died.
Blue Silver Grass was merely a symbol; it was still recognized as a useless Spirit on the continent. Let alone her being level 31, even at level 41 or 51, it was unlikely for her to avenge her parents.
"Do you want revenge…?"
Just then, a faint voice suddenly entered Tang Ya's mind.
"Who!!"
Tang Ya's heart jolted, and she quickly jumped out of bed, looking around cautiously, but found no one else in the dormitory.
She was a third-year student and already qualified to have her own single dormitory, so it was impossible for anyone else to come in.
"Did I imagine it…?"
Tang Ya wiped away her tears, her expression somewhat dazed, wondering if she was experiencing auditory hallucinations due to too much stress.
"Do you want revenge…?"
Suddenly, that voice sounded again!
This time, Tang Ya heard clearly. The voice seemed to come from within her mind, as if the other party was living inside her body.
At this thought, a hint of fear involuntarily arose in Tang Ya's heart.
"Who are you! Come out!!"
Tang Ya shouted sharply, her eyes darting around as she considered whether to leave and find a teacher at the academy.
"Don't be nervous, I won't harm you. Do you want to become stronger and avenge your parents?"
The voice came again, its tone still calm.
"Avenge my parents…" Tang Ya suddenly heard these words, and a certain chord in her heart was struck.
"I can feel a powerful force within your body. If you wish, I can help you…" The voice came again.
"Who are you, hiding your face! Why should I believe you!" Although Tang Ya really wanted to become stronger, she still maintained a hint of vigilance.
"Who I am isn't important. What's important is that I can make you stronger quickly, giving you the chance to seek revenge. There's only one chance…"
"Do you… want revenge…?"
The voice gradually weakened, as if it could disappear at any moment.
Tang Ya was still a bit hesitant, but as soon as she heard that there was only one chance, and she also found that the voice seemed to be about to disappear, she immediately panicked.
"Wait… I… I… I want to think about it…" Tang Ya quickly said, suddenly afraid that the voice would disappear.
"Your parents died for Tang Sect. You pleaded humbly with Clear Sky Sect for Tang Sect, begged Shrek for Tang Sect, but they remained indifferent…"
"They cannot help you avenge, but I can…"
"Do you… want revenge?"
The voice grew weaker and weaker…
"I… I…" Tang Ya stood frozen in place upon hearing these words.
All the past memories, all the humiliations, flooded her mind…
She thought of her lowliness when she knelt at the Clear Sky Sect mountain gate for three days and three nights, begging for help…
She thought of her humble demeanor when she came to Shrek seeking help…
Why, why did they have the strength but didn't help? Why did they have the strength but stood by indifferently? Why did her parents have to die…
What was all this for…?Chapter 10 Freshman Party
Chapter 10: Freshmen Gathering
"I… I want revenge!!!"
"I want power! I want to avenge my parents!"
"I want to make those who harmed my parents wish they were dead!!!"
Finally, Tang Ya's last line of defense within her heart completely collapsed.
"Crackling—"
The next moment, it was as if something shattered.
Tang Ya's entire spirit power surged violently, and a faint black mist slowly began to emanate from her body, even her eyes gradually turning black.
The Dark Blue Silver Grass bloodline within Tang Ya finally fully awakened!
However, just as Tang Ya was about to lose control, a powerful suction force suddenly surged from within her body, absorbing all the evil thoughts within her.
"Burp~"
Faintly, Tang Ya even heard something burp inside her body.
"Do not let hatred blind your eyes. I will help you suppress the evil thoughts in your heart, but since you have awakened the Dark Blue Silver Grass, you will need to devour the flesh and blood of living beings to continuously improve your strength…" The voice came again, this time sounding quite robust, as if it had eaten its fill.
"Though I don't know what you are, I still want to thank you…"
Tang Ya's eyes flickered slightly, and the streaks of blackness in her eyes began to recede, restoring her to a normal appearance this time.
However, anyone familiar with her would immediately notice that Tang Ya's demeanor had completely changed; it was as if she had matured greatly all at once, no longer the naive and foolish girl she once was.
…
At the entrance of the freshmen dormitory building, Moo-Eun's brows furrowed slightly.
"What's going on? Why was there just a flash of an Evil Soul Master-like aura… How strange…"
Moo-Eun was somewhat puzzled.
But when he used his mental force to scan the entire dormitory area, he found no trace whatsoever.
"Forget it, whatever it is, it won't cause any trouble in this Shrek Academy."
In the end, Moo-Eun gave up. After all, this was Shrek, and no matter what the opponent was, it would not pose any threat to Shrek.
…
"Burp~"
By Sea God Lake, Xu Feng burped contentedly.
That's right, he was full.
Tang Ya's massive wave of evil thoughts, through the feedback of the "Magic Seed," directly caused his spirit power to surge by 5 levels, reaching level 29, which was truly terrifying.
If one Tang Ya could make him level up so quickly, what if he raided an Evil Soul Master's lair and devoured all the evil thoughts of every Evil Soul Master? Wouldn't he directly become a God on the spot!
Of course, for now, he could only dream about it, because his current strength was too low; at most, he could only condense 5 "Magic Seeds." Any more and he would be drained dry…
Moreover, the reason his spirit power could increase so much, besides Tang Ya's deep-seated hatred, was also because leveling up before level 30 was relatively easier.
After level 30, it would be more difficult for spirit power to increase, but the stronger the host Parasite by the Magic Seed, the more benefits he would gain. Next time, he would have to find a true Evil Soul Master to test it out.
…
At seven in the evening, the sky was dark, but Shrek Academy was still brightly lit.
Xu Feng and Wang Dong left through the academy's back gate, entered Shrek City, and soon arrived at a bustling tavern.
Xu Feng also learned that this gathering was initiated by Wu Feng and Ning Tian. These two came from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and were very wealthy, so treating the entire class to a meal was naturally no problem at all.
Entering the hotel, the two presented their student badges and were led by a staff member to a private room on the fourth floor of the hotel. The private room door was open, and the two walked straight in.
The private room was very large, and about forty-odd students had already arrived, roughly half the class, as each freshmen class had about 100 people.
After all, Wu Feng and Ning Tian didn't have a list or photos of everyone in the class, and the news of the gathering was spread by word of mouth, so it was already quite good that so many people came.
"Hello, my name is Yun Shan. Are you two also from Class Nine?" A rather good-looking girl walked over, smiling as she greeted Xu Feng and Wang Dong.
After all, both Xu Feng and Wang Dong, in terms of appearance and demeanor, were considered top-tier among the male students, naturally quickly attracting the attention of some female students.
"Hello, my name is Xu Feng. We're all classmates now," Xu Feng replied with a slight smile, seeing their enthusiasm, and greeted them.
Douluo Continent is also known as the Hormone Continent. Although these students were only around 11 or 12 years old, each of them was tall and well-proportioned. Aside from slightly underdeveloped bodies and somewhat tender faces, they were all very pleasant to look at.
Although Xu Feng felt he had little in common with these children, looking at beautiful women always made a man feel physically and mentally pleased.
"My name is Wang Dong. I'm just here to join the fun." Wang Dong folded his arms, a hint of arrogance still on his face. He was naturally not very receptive to the enthusiasm of these female classmates, even showing some disdain.
Of course, he also felt a bit contemptuous of Xu Feng.
"His taste is really bad. What a waste of such powerful strength. These withered flowers and faded willows can make him so utterly infatuated. If I were to drop my disguise, wouldn't it just blind his dog eyes!" Wang Dong lightly curled his lip at Xu Feng, thinking to himself.
Xu Feng chatted briefly with a few girls, then sent them all over to Wang Dong.
He had initially thought this gathering would be the organizers' personal show, but unexpectedly, it was so open, purely for eating and getting to know each other. If someone liked someone, they would directly go up and strike up a conversation. No one really knew anyone else, and since those who could enter Shrek were all exceptional individuals, both boys and girls chatted quite happily.
Xu Feng found a corner and sat down, then activated his Eye of Destiny.
In an instant, the scene before him became illusory, and what he saw instead were countless destiny lines of varying thickness and brightness.
The destiny lines of Shrek students were all relatively thick and bright; each person seemed to glow faintly, suggesting that their future achievements would not be too low.
Among these dozens of people, Xu Feng quickly spotted a few special individuals.
Most noticeable were two girls sitting not far in front: one wore a long red dress and had short red hair; her eyes even had a slight red tint, making her quite the standout. However, her features were delicate, her skin fair, and her beauty was top-tier among the girls.
Xu Feng guessed that this person should be Wu Feng, who organized this gathering. Perhaps because she came from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, her destiny line was much brighter than that of ordinary people.
Beside her sat a girl in a white dress with short golden hair, looking very neat. Her large, sky-blue eyes had long eyelashes, and she exuded an aristocratic aura.
The brightness of her destiny line was more than five times that of Wu Feng's, and there were countless inseparable connections between her and Wu Feng. Xu Feng guessed that she was Ning Tian of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.Chapter 11 Wang Dong was furious when he met Xiao Xiao
Chapter 11: Encountering Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong Explodes with Rage
"Wu Feng and Ning Tian, how interesting~"
When Xu Feng saw these two, his lips curled slightly, which also brought back memories of the original plot.
The relationship between Wu Feng and Ning Tian was quite interesting.
Wu Feng liked Ning Tian, and Ning Tian also liked Wu Feng, but Ning Tian was normal, while Wu Feng's pursuit was too intense, which ended up twisting Ning Tian...
As the Young Sect Master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Tian naturally bore the responsibility of continuing the family line. Regardless of gender, a successor of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School had to choose a powerful individual of the opposite sex to combine with. Only in this way could they combine support and attack, unleashing the most powerful combat strength, and of course, for the purpose of continuing the family line.
Ning Tian bore the inheritance of the Sect and naturally could not be with Wu Feng, otherwise, the inheritance of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School would be directly cut off, an inheritance of tens of thousands of years would be directly wiped out...
In the end, the two entered that ridiculous Qiankun Asking Love Valley. Ning Tian, for Wu Feng's sake, willingly became a man, and the two lived happily ever after...
...
When Xu Feng saw this plotline back then, he was quite speechless; it was too melodramatic.
He wondered what Ning Tian's father would think if he knew his daughter had become a man...
Xu Feng gently shook his head, then scanned again, and quickly found a young girl radiating a faint golden glow in another corner.
The young girl was petite, with a slightly chubby face, dressed in a simple green dress, which was quite cute. However, she seemed to have social anxiety, as several boys who approached her to strike up a conversation were politely turned down with just a few words.
"Who is this little loli...? She's quite cute. If she wore white stockings, she would be... Ahem..."
Xu Feng cast aside the thoughts in his mind, just as he was about to go and introduce himself, he suddenly noticed that her gaze seemed to be secretly looking at something...
Following her gaze, it was precisely in Wang Dong's direction. Wang Dong was still entangled by several girls and looked quite depressed, clearly regretting coming here.
"Hiss~ This little loli couldn't have fallen for Wang Dong, could she...?" Xu Feng gasped.
After some thought, Xu Feng still walked over with a glass of low-alcohol red wine and greeted with a smile, "Hello, my name is Xu Feng, and we'll be classmates from now on."
"Mm, hello, my name is Xiao Xiao~" The little loli nodded to Xu Feng, her expression somewhat calm.
"Xiao Xiao... Holy crap, shouldn't this person be in Huo Yuhao's class? I didn't change her fate, did I?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Feng was instantly a bit dumbfounded.
No wonder the destiny lines on her body were so bright; it turned out to be Xiao Xiao. Then it was fine, after all, she possessed twin spirits and had the potential to become one of the Shrek Seven Devils.
However, what piqued his curiosity the most was why she had come to Class Nine. Was she attracted by his luck, or by Wang Dong's luck?
Xu Feng didn't understand, nor did he want to understand.
The freshman assessment required three people, and he was just worrying about not finding the last teammate. It was truly a pillow delivered when he was sleepy.
Xiao Xiao falling in love at first sight with Wang Dong, who was disguised as a boy, was also destined, and Xu Feng could understand that.
"What's wrong with you? Are you alright?" Xiao Xiao looked at the boy in front of her staring blankly at her and immediately felt a little confused.
"Hehe, nothing. I see you seem to care a lot about that guy with pink-blue hair~" Xu Feng pointed at Wang Dong with his chin and said with a smile.
"What? I, I didn't! Don't talk nonsense...!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao was instantly startled, stammering a bit, and a faint blush appeared on her small face, looking very pretty.
"His name is Wang Dong, he's my roommate, and he's currently single. Do you want me to introduce him to you?" Xu Feng still asked with a slight smile.
"Wang Dong, huh? What a nice name..." A hint of joy flashed in Xiao Xiao's heart, but upon hearing Xu Feng's next sentence, she shyly lowered her head again and whispered defensively, "Don't talk nonsense, I just think he looks good."
"Hehe, I understand, I understand. This must be love at first sight~" Xu Feng waved his hand, pretending to be very understanding.
This made Xiao Xiao even more mortified. She puffed out her cheeks and glared at Xu Feng, somewhat annoyed.
"Haha, just kidding~"
"I heard the freshman assessment requires a team of three. Wang Dong and I are just short of one person. Both Wang Dong and I are of the attack system. What type is your Spirit, classmate? Are you interested in teaming up?"
Xu Feng continued to coax her, after all, Xiao Xiao had good potential; her twin spirits were one in ten thousand, and he had to secure her.
"I'm of the control system. Can I join you guys?" Xiao Xiao's eyes instantly lit up upon hearing this.
"Haha, control system is the best! I'll tell Wang Dong later, and then we'll be teammates~" Xu Feng smiled and extended his hand.
"Thank you~" Xiao Xiao also reached out, gently shook Xu Feng's hand, and then quickly withdrew it, still a bit shy, of course.
"Hey, hey, hey, I say, Xu Feng, you're too much! I'm being harassed, and you're actually here flirting with girls!" Just then, an exasperated voice came from behind Xu Feng, which was naturally Wang Dong.
He was annoyed to death being pestered by so many female classmates, while Xu Feng was hiding in a corner, flirting with a cute girl. How shameless!
He should have known better than to call Xu Feng over!
"Oh, right, let me introduce you. This is Xiao Xiao, and she'll be our teammate from now on." Xu Feng shrugged and introduced Xiao Xiao to Wang Dong, then added, "Xiao Xiao and I are innocent; don't slander us randomly."
"Xiao Xiao, you agree, right?" Xu Feng looked at Xiao Xiao again.
"Mm, mm, mm, Xu Feng and I are friends~" Xiao Xiao also nodded repeatedly, afraid that Wang Dong would misunderstand.
"Oh, you've only known each other for how long, and Xiao Xiao is already defending you? Xu Feng, you scumbag, I see right through you!" Wang Dong became even angrier. If he wasn't afraid of being held accountable later, he would have pointed at Xu Feng's nose and cursed him already.
Wang Dong was so angry that he plopped down next to Xu Feng. He wanted to see what these two lovebirds were talking about.
He had thought Xu Feng was a cool man before, but he didn't expect him to hook up with a female classmate in the blink of an eye!
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao also dared not speak, lowering her head, occasionally stealing glances at Wang Dong.
With an outsider present, Xu Feng found it inconvenient to lecture Wang Dong, giving him some face.
The three of them suddenly fell into an awkward silence.
"Boom—"
Just then, a loud bang suddenly came from outside, and then everyone felt the fluctuation of spirit power.
"What's going on?"
"Is someone fighting?"
"It seems to be someone from our Class Nine!"
"What! Who dares to bully someone from our Class Nine? Brothers, let's get him!"
...
Upon hearing this, all the classmates in the private room rushed out.
Seeing this, Xu Feng and the other two also quickly got up to watch the show.
When the three of them came outside, they saw the wide corridor filled with people. On one side were those from their Class Nine, and on the other side was another group of people, led by a tall young man with golden hair and unusual eyes, who looked extremely arrogant.
On the ground lay a boy, his face bruised, clearly having been beaten.Chapter 12: To Wear the Crown, One Must Bear the Weight
Chapter 12: He Who Wears the Crown Must Bear Its Weight
"Dai Huabin, what do you mean by this? How dare you bully someone from our Class Nine? You must give us an explanation today!" At this moment, Wu Feng stepped forward, blocking the boy and angrily pointing at Dai Huabin.
Wu Feng was very angry at this moment, extremely angry!
This was a class gathering she had painstakingly organized, all to elevate her standing in the eyes of her classmates and to prepare for her future bid for class president.
But now Dai Huabin had hit someone from their class—wasn't that a blatant slap in her face?!
"Tch, Wu Feng, don't flatter yourself. I hit him, what can you do about it? He's just a good-for-nothing. He dirtied my shoes, so hitting him was already letting him off easy," Dai Huabin said dismissively, glancing at Wu Feng without putting her in his eyes at all.
He, Wu Feng, and Ning Tian had been old rivals since their days at the Junior Spirit Master Academy. They were all scions from powerful factions, knew each other's backgrounds thoroughly, and thus, he naturally had nothing to fear.
As for the boy lying on the ground, he was just a commoner. If he weren't a Shrek Academy student, Dai Huabin would have kicked him out long ago.
"Dai Huabin, you're asking for it! Fight me! If you lose, you apologize to him!" Wu Feng raged, her voice filled with anger.
Her spirit power was 3 levels lower than Dai Huabin's, but as fellow top-tier attack system Spirit users, she didn't believe she was much weaker than him!
The most important thing was to stand her ground. Even if she lost, she wouldn't let Dai Huabin off easy. After all, with so many students watching, if she didn't reclaim her dignity, her prestige in the class would surely be gone!
"A fight it is. Without Ning Tian's assistance, you're useless," Dai Huabin sneered, not taking Wu Feng seriously at all.
...
Soon, everyone arrived at the restaurant's underground Soul Arena.
After all, conflicts were inevitable when drinking in a restaurant. For ordinary people, fighting on the spot was fine, but Spirit Masters had immense destructive power, so they certainly couldn't fight outside. Shrek City didn't allow it, nor did the restaurant. If civilians were injured, there would be very severe penalties.
However, for the convenience of guests, most restaurants had one or two underground Soul Arenas for Spirit Masters to settle their grievances, which was very considerate.
The Soul Arena wasn't large, but it was more than enough to accommodate a hundred people.
Wu Feng and Dai Huabin stepped onto the stage, simultaneously releasing their Spirits.
Wu Feng's Spirit was a Red Dragon Spirit. Although it wasn't a high-bloodline dragon, it was still a very high-grade attack system Beast Spirit. Dragon-type Spirits were never weak, and with two hundred-year spirit rings, she was very powerful.
As Wu Feng merged with her Fire Dragon Spirit, her entire figure became even more fiery, and two small dragon horns grew on her head, making her appear somewhat mischievous and cute.
Dai Huabin also released his Spirit, which was naturally the ancestral Evil Eyes White Tiger. Although it had undergone some mutation during its inheritance, its dazzling double pupils were still very distinct. As the inherited Spirit of the former Star Luo Empire imperial family, it naturally wouldn't be too weak. Moreover, Dai Huabin's level had reached 27, which was terrifying.
"Fire Dragon Armor!"
"Blazing Dragon Breath—"
Wu Feng made the first move, her entire being like an erupting volcano, exuding terrifying fighting intent.
"White Tiger Barrier!"
Dai Huabin was not to be outdone, also releasing his Spirit Ability.
"Bang bang bang—"
"Boom boom boom—"
The two instantly became entangled, fighting fiercely.
Both being attack system Beast Spirits, close-quarters combat was the most common and efficient fighting style when their Spirits were attached to their bodies.
"This Dai Huabin is quite interesting~" Xu Feng found a front-row seat, casually cracking the melon seeds Wang Dong had peeled for him, and commented softly.
"You know him? This guy is too arrogant. I even want to go up there and teach him a lesson," Wang Dong muttered softly while cracking melon seeds.
Xu Feng didn't answer, but instead activated his Eye of Destiny.
Although this observed destiny, generally speaking, the stronger one's power, the stronger their destiny. Dai Huabin's destiny power significantly surpassed Wu Feng's, coupled with his level, talent, and even a slight suppression from his Spirit.
Wu Feng was destined to lose.
Just then, the seemingly evenly matched battle suddenly took a drastic turn.
"White Tiger Light Wave—"
"Boom!!"
A terrifying shockwave struck, sending Wu Feng flying over ten meters, directly off the stage. The outcome was clear; Wu Feng had lost completely.
However, Wu Feng's landing spot, coincidentally, was exactly where Xu Feng was standing.
"Oh crap, no way, is this my lucky break with romance?" Xu Feng looked at Wu Feng, who was flying towards him, somewhat bewildered.
He had just stood up when Wu Feng already fell into his arms.
Xu Feng steadily caught Wu Feng, his right hand very impolitely landing on her soft, bouncy bottom.
"Are you alright?"
Xu Feng looked at Wu Feng in his arms, asking with concern.
"Let go... cough cough cough..." Wu Feng was both shy and angry. Just as she was about to speak, she started coughing repeatedly, clearly having suffered internal injuries.
In front of everyone, Xu Feng quickly let Wu Feng down.
"Wu Feng, are you okay!" Ning Tian ran over and quickly embraced Wu Feng, but she did cast a grateful look at Xu Feng, nodding at him.
After all, if Xu Feng hadn't caught Wu Feng, she might have suffered secondary injuries.
"Heh heh, kid, you've got something. Saving the damsel in distress, how about I give you a chance to avenge her?" Just then, Dai Huabin noticed Xu Feng in front of him, thinking Xu Feng was with Wu Feng. He directly mocked him face-to-face, his expression full of ridicule, utterly arrogant!
"Hahaha, Brother Dai is mighty! Class Nine are all a bunch of good-for-nothings!"
"Kill them all, hahahaha~"
Dai Huabin's friends, hearing this, all burst into laughter.
The few of them seemed to be in the same class as Dai Huabin and had all drunk a lot. Their attitude was also unusually arrogant, suggesting they likely had strong backgrounds like Dai Huabin and were simply enjoying the spectacle.
"Want to fight? I'll take you on!" Wang Dong couldn't stand it when Dai Huabin and his group provoked Xu Feng. Plus, he had already accumulated a belly full of grievances from this gathering and had nowhere to vent. Beating up this big tomcat would be a good way to let off some steam.
"No need, I'll do it myself."
Xu Feng, however, gently waved his hand, stopping Wang Dong.
How did that saying go...? He who wears the crown must bear its weight.
He seemed to have plundered a lot of Huo Yuhao's destiny, and it seemed he had a touch of the Son of Destiny's romantic fortune, so he would naturally be subjected to some people's ridicule.
This had almost become an iron rule, one that no one could avoid.
"Plop~"
Xu Feng simply leaped onto the Soul Arena, his hands clasped behind his back, smiling as he looked down at Dai Huabin with his nostrils, and slowly said, "You're very arrogant, but unfortunately, you're still a bit lacking as my opponent."
As Xu Feng's words fell, they instantly stirred up a thousand waves. Everyone stared dumbfounded at Xu Feng on the stage, all utterly bewildered.
