"Director Du Weilun, it's been two weeks since Qingfeng-ge left. He didn't even show up for the awards ceremony for the freshmen competition, and Qingfeng-ge was the champion! He led Ning Tian and the others to victory!"
"What's the point of an awards ceremony without the champion there?!"
"Exactly, Director Du Weilun, just tell us, where did you hide Qingfeng-ge?"
In the outer court director's office of Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were questioning Du Weilun. It was more like they were grilling him.
Two outer court students daring to pester the director was quite bold.
"I've told you countless times, he's a specially selected student. Even I have no right to manage him. How would I know where he went?"
Du Weilun rubbed his temples. He had already seen how powerful Su Qingfeng was, and he knew he had a strong background.
But there were still things he couldn't figure out. His charm was such that Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao came to bother him every day. During the awards ceremony, they even made a scene, disrupting the ceremony and speaking up for Su Qingfeng.
If it weren't for the Dean's magnanimity, these two children would have been severely reprimanded long ago.
"Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao, I know both of you."
"Wang Dong, your talent is excellent. You've smoothly become a Core Disciple in the first year, with a bright future ahead, and a good chance of entering the Inner Court."
"Huo Yuhao, your talent isn't outstanding. It's through luck, hard work, and Zhou Yi's efforts that you barely obtained Core Disciple status, and you're not a true Core Disciple yet. However, this is already quite remarkable."
"However, Su Qingfeng isn't someone you should be investigating. Some things are better left unknown. You two don't want to be expelled by the Academy, do you?"
"Focus on your cultivation. There will be a selection competition later, in which Core Disciples from the first to fifth years will participate. This competition will be even more intense, determining whether you can advance and whether you can retain your Core Disciple status."
Du Weilun finished speaking and gathered his documents. He walked to the door and ushered Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong out.
Huo Yuhao had finally made it to Shrek Academy, and he had come so far. He didn't want to be expelled, nor did he want to be persuaded to leave. At the very least, only by staying could he have a chance to see Qingfeng again!
Wang Dong still wouldn't give up, asking, "Will Qingfeng-gege participate in that... what was it, the big melee selection match?"
"I've already told you, the Special Select Student has unprecedented privileges in the academy. I can't decide, nor can I predict where he'll show up or what he'll do."
Just when Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao were feeling rather dejected, probably thinking they would never see Su Qingfeng again, Du Weilun relented slightly and shared his thoughts:
"If you two really want to see the Special Select Student again, then you should work even harder on your cultivation. The Core Disciples' assessment competition is related to your grade promotion. If you do well, you'll have a chance to enter the Inner Court."
"Based on my guess, the Special Select Student's ability to have such authority in the academy must be due to someone from Seagod Island. Entering the Inner Court might allow you to learn about his true identity, to keep up with his pace. That's what you'd call true following."
Du Weilun's words truly enlightened Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao.
Wang Dong thought: So that's how it is. Qingfeng-gege is from the Inner Court? Seagod Island? So there's a Seagod Island in Shrek Academy? Will Qingfeng-gege be there? Someday, I'll get in, even if I have to use the power of Haotian Fort!
Huo Yuhao sighed, "Yeah, it's not easy to stay by someone as outstanding as Brother Qingfeng. You can only do it if you become strong!"
After Huo Yuhao's team won second place in the Freshman Competition, he received decent rewards. Coupled with his teacher's help, he had reached level nineteen and was beginning to strive for level twenty.
Tianmeng had reminded him more than once to break through to level twenty as soon as possible. Gaining the second soul ring would cause a qualitative change in his strength and talent; he had to do it!
Mm! Huo Yuhao benefited greatly from Du Weilun's words.
In the following days, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao were both diligently cultivating. Wang Dong was striving towards level thirty, while Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng had their own plans.
Tianmeng watched Huo Yuhao striving to break through to level twenty, already looking forward to the trip to the Extreme North, to see the nemesis and goddess he had been longing for.
But how could Tianmeng have imagined that this trip to the Extreme North would only make him drop his jaw.
Xiao Xiao was rather worried. She was increasingly curious about Su Qingfeng's identity, especially his performance during the Freshman Competition, which had slapped her in the face.
Sometimes, she would gaze at the starry sky, as if seeing the masked youth in the night sky, propping his face with his hand, muttering: "Who exactly are you? What do you look like? With such talent, you don't need to cover your face even if you're not good-looking, right? Sigh..."
In a simple courtyard in a northern town, in front of a small house built entirely of cold- and moisture-resistant wood.
Mu En sat on a wooden railing, leaning against a wooden pillar.
In the open space in front of him, Su Qingfeng and Ma Xiaotao stood facing each other, while the Three-Eyed Golden Lion watched from the side.
"Qingfeng, although your Martial Soul is superb, and you have an exceptional talent, this child Xiaotao isn't weak either. If you can't win, don't force it. One is my beloved disciple, and the other is my disciple's disciple. If you suffer a loss, I, the old man, won't be able to bully her."
Mu En waved his sleeve and said faintly.
They hadn't returned to Shrek Academy directly after leaving the scorching region of the Star Dou Great Forest.
After some thought, they felt that since Su Qingfeng's second extreme star could accommodate a hundred Soul Beasts and gain elemental amplification, he should undergo an evolution in his first extreme star now that he was already out.
Therefore, they returned to the Extreme North.
From the Star Dou Great Forest to the edge of the Extreme North, they enjoyed a leisurely journey, taking in the sights and relaxing. It was a relatively happy time for them.
However, it was clear that Ma Xiaotao was happier than Mu En. Her complexion was much rosier now.
All along the way, she was affectionate with Su Qingfeng, touching and caressing him. Every day, she was either researching wild delicacies to feed Su Qingfeng or finding interesting things to show him.
Mu En even suspected that if he wasn't around, Xiaotao would have already snuck into Su Qingfeng's room and... well, taken care of things, adding more disciples and grandchildren to the family.
At this moment, the two of them were in high spirits, so they decided to give Su Qingfeng a chance to practice, to test the strength of his second extreme star.
Chi Wang had also given Su Qingfeng three additional soul skills, and one awakening soul skill, of the Fire Star.
In fact, soul beasts and soul bones of one hundred thousand years or more in age usually provided soul masters with two or more soul skills.
The Evil Fire Phoenix appeared, causing the surrounding snow to melt into pools of warm water. Six soul rings shone on her.
"Don't worry, Senior Grandmaster. I wouldn't dream of hurting Little Senior Uncle. I'll test his abilities properly!"
Seeing the starry sky reflected behind Su Qingfeng, and his Starry Sky Martial Soul appearing, Ma Xiaotao composed herself. It was rare for her to drop her infatuated expression in front of Su Qingfeng and become serious.
After all, that was power brought by a several-hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast. Furthermore, Ma Xiaotao knew that Su Qingfeng's first soul ring was also extraordinary. Under the enhancement of extreme ice and hellfire, even though Su Qingfeng was only in his twenties, he couldn't be underestimated!
"Little Tao, I'm coming."
"Alright, I'm ready. Come on!"
