Zhu Zhuqing left Yu Xiaowei's dormitory with mixed feelings.
She didn't know what she was thinking now, but she had signed a contract to sell herself.
She had sold herself to Ning Rongrong.
"A lucky woman."
After standing in the corridor for a while, Zhu Zhuqing muttered to herself and left.
After Zhu Zhuqing left, Yu Xiaowei reviewed the contracts in his soul guide.
IOU from Dugu Bo. (Canceled.)
Blank letter of introduction. (Gave one to Long Gongshe Po, but they haven't come. Not sure if something happened since they've been gone so long.)
Acquisition contract of Shrek Academy. (Key item to prevent Flander, that shameless man, from crying to his sister and then renaming the academy.)
Qin Ming's lease contract. (Expected that Qin Ming would turn against him before the five-year period ended, so it's basically useless.)
The agreement with Zhu Zhuqing in his hand was a very important matter. He had used Zhu Zhuqing's life as a condition to exchange for a bodyguard for Ning Rongrong for the next twenty years.
The attack on Ning Rongrong during the battle had been a wake-up call for Yu Xiaowei.
Outsiders couldn't be relied on, and he needed to train someone to protect her.
Zhu Zhuqing was very suitable. Not just in combat, but in daily life too, she could closely protect Ning Rongrong.
Moreover, the agility-attack system had a major advantage: speed.
Although she wasn't a pure agility-type, those faster than her couldn't beat her at the same level, and those who could beat her couldn't catch her.
It was considered insurance for Ning Rongrong.
However, her combat strength was a bit too weak for now. She was only level 28, and Yu Xiaowei could kill her with a single finger.
"What was that thing she ate called again? Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone—what does it look like? Sounds like a flower. I'll have to go search for it at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well tomorrow."
Yu Xiaowei murmured to himself while gathering all the contracts.
It wasn't just the Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone—he also needed to find fairy herbs with lightning attributes for Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin to eat, but there didn't seem to be any.
The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower could be given to his sister. It wouldn't boost her spirit power, but it still had a good effect on fire attributes. It'd be great if it could enhance her Fire Dragon martial spirit.
Oscar was preparing to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. After taking the blood oath in the ancestral hall, he could be given the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid to consume.
Yu Xiaowei was still hesitant about one thing—whether to give Dugu Bo the highly toxic Snow Goose Kiss herb.
He had already found it, and it was easy to recognize, so there was no way he'd be mistaken. But he feared that after Dugu Bo's spirit mutated, he still might not be able to withstand such a potent poison.
However, if the old man could control the Snow Goose Kiss, he'd become nearly invincible.
As a titled poison master, his poison was nearly useless in fights against others of the same level, relying entirely on close combat. It was a real shame, and he couldn't beat anyone before because of this.
Now that his spirit had evolved, he could at least be considered one of the top experts at his level.
If his poison could also affect titled-level opponents, he might even be able to kill people stronger than himself.
Still, Yu Xiaowei felt this was something he should discuss with him. It was Dugu Bo's decision to make.
After spending so much time together peacefully, Yu Xiaowei actually liked Dugu Bo as a person and didn't want him to lose his life because of a single word from him.
At the Blue Tyrant Academy student dormitory—
Tang San watched Xiao Wu eat heartily and finally felt relieved. After days of illness, she had finally agreed to eat.
But who knew that Xiao Wu would suddenly start crying while eating.
"Xiao San, Xiao San, I'm eating rabbit, wuwuwu——"
"Eat, it's okay."
Tang San comforted Xiao Wu while picking up a rabbit leg and biting down hard.
His mouth full, he spoke unclearly.
"See, it's fine, just eating rabbit."
He didn't understand why she was crying just from eating rabbit meat. In his past life in Shu, there were many delicious rabbit-based dishes. He'd been eating rabbit since childhood.
Seeing Tang San eat so happily made Xiao Wu feel even worse. She couldn't keep eating and began crying harder.
She thought it would've been better not to come to this awful school at all!
Bang——
The dormitory door suddenly burst open, and Oscar stood there, panting heavily.
"Tang San, Xiao Wu, quick, come to the playground. Yu Xiaowei is gathering all soul masters above level 30."
"Ah? Xiao Wu's like this and you still want us to go?"
"Just go. I specifically asked, and he said what he's doing today is so important that as long as you're not dead and still breathing, you have to come."
Oscar was helpless too. He had even mentioned that Xiao Wu was sick, but Yu Xiaowei had replied with such cold and harsh words.
Tang San's face twitched and he said with resentment,
"I think Yu Xiaowei's just messing with us. He's been targeting us old Shrek Academy students since Soto City."
"Our Shrek Academy?"
Oscar sneered inwardly. Yu Xiaowei had said quite a bit to him that day at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family and mentioned one thing.
When the new students enrolled, he and Zhu Zhuqing had declared they were from Shrek Academy, while Tang San and Xiao Wu had said they were from Notting Junior College.
In other words, those two never saw themselves as Shrek Academy people at all.
If it hadn't been for them helping him hunt soul rings in the Great Star Dou Forest, he wouldn't have bothered speaking up for Xiao Wu.
"In short, you two better hurry. Yu Xiaowei said anyone who's late will have to run laps around the playground."
After saying that, Oscar left in a rush.
Looking at the miserable Xiao Wu, Tang San felt uneasy, but Yu Xiaowei's words carried the same weight as the dean's at Blue Tyrant Academy, so he had no choice but to carry Xiao Wu on his back and head out.
Before reaching the playground, Tang San heard Yu Xiaowei barking orders.
"Yu Tianheng, use your power!"
"Thunder Wrath!!! BOOM!!!"
Like a bolt from the blue, countless streaks of lightning suddenly converged into thunder arrows and shot forward.
Boom—
With a loud explosion, shockwaves spread in all directions, forcing spectators—both battle and support soul masters—back a few steps.
When the smoke and dust cleared, Yu Xiaowei's unscathed figure emerged. The immense thunder power had only singed a corner of his clothes.
Yu Tianheng sat on the ground in frustration. He had never imagined such a huge gap between them.
"All right, I've seen what's wrong with my second nephew. You can rest now."
Seeing Yu Tianheng so dispirited, Yu Xiaowei's tone softened slightly.
"Next, Tai... Eh?"
"Tang San, come here."
Tai Long, who was so nervous when Yu Xiaowei called his name, relaxed and looked at Tang San, who was carrying Xiao Wu, with delight.
Hearing Yu Xiaowei call him, Tang San's heart skipped a beat. He handed Xiao Wu to a nearby female student and cautiously walked up to Yu Xiaowei.
"Today we're officially confirming the lineup for the Blue Tyrant team. Before that, I need to understand the combat strength and weaknesses of each soul master."
"So, use your strongest attack on me and let me see your power."
Tang San breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Yu Xiaowei wasn't here to fight them.
Seeing Yu Xiaowei stand casually with damage all over his clothes, Tang San took a deep breath and assumed his stance.
Three soul rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—appeared beneath his feet.
"Bind!"
"Parasitize!"
"Sovereign's Prison!"
A mass of blue-black vines rose into the air and bound Yu Xiaowei tightly.
Especially Tang San's third soul skill, which manifested as a bunch of white flowers emitting a strange tea-like fragrance, clinging tightly to Yu Xiaowei and making him look like a snowman.
"No, that's poisonous."
Dugu Yan, who also used poison, immediately sensed something off. The severity of this toxin might not be inferior to her Green Scale Snake venom.
Tang San stepped through the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, his right hand turning jade white. A fierce straight punch aimed directly at Yu Xiaowei's face.
His third soul skill came from a 1,500-year-old Sovereign Flower. Its poison was strong enough to paralyze even soul sects, leaving them immobilized for a time.
Yu Xiaowei had been targeting him everywhere since Soto City, and he had long wanted to punch him like this.
Just as Tang San's fist was about to touch Yu Xiaowei's face, with a "snap," a finger emerged from the vines and gently pressed against his jade-white fist.
An invisible wave exploded from Yu Xiaowei's body, and the blue-black vines and white flowers withered in an instant.
Yu Xiaowei looked at Tang San, who was frightened, and said lightly.
"You didn't eat? Is this all the power you have?"
