At the same time. 108th window.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong poked their heads out, watching Su Wen's figure disappear in the distance. They exchanged glances, both feeling a bit relieved.
Compared to the level of fighting happening next door, the two of them seemed much more amicable.
"Wanna talk?" Huo Yuhao whispered.
"Your rules are way too over-the-top. Most of them are fine, but a few need to be changed."
Wang Dong pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
The atmosphere became much more harmonious.
207th Dorm
Dai Huabin's expression was full of seriousness, his fists clenching unconsciously. Unlike most new students who had a big gap in strength and could just sit back and watch, he himself was now a Soul Elder, among the top of the new students.
He felt he could take on Xie Huanyue directly and win.
But that other boy…
He unconsciously imagined himself in Xie Huanyue's place. If he had faced that guy, even with White Tiger Transformation and his third soul skill—
"Damn!" Dai Huabin broke out in a cold sweat.
If it had been him, he probably wouldn't have escaped Xie Huanyue's fate either.
After all, Xie Huanyue had already used all his trump cards, while that guy was still effortlessly suppressing him; it was impossible to gauge his true strength.
Anyone able to become a Soul Elder before age twelve would naturally be proud and ambitious—he didn't want to end up like Xie Huanyue, cowering and calling someone boss…
"Forget it, I'll just avoid him next time we meet."
He narrowed his eyes.
…
Cafeteria.
Su Wen ordered a serving of stir-fried golden dragon fish, while Xie Huanyue ordered braised vegetarian chicken, frozen dragon skin, stir-fried rhino liver, and filled up the whole table next to them.
Then they dug in like a whirlwind.
"What's your martial soul?" Su Wen asked with interest.
"Uh, it's a Rubber Elephant, more of a power attack type… boss." Xie Huanyue replied, smacking his lips.
Su Wen suddenly remembered—Xie Huanyue's martial soul wasn't much mentioned in the original work; even he almost forgot.
"An all-rounder, not bad."
But with talent like this, it wasn't something you could achieve just by meditating. There was probably a strong clan backing him. Among the disciples able to enter Shrek Academy, many had prominent family backgrounds.
After lunch, they wandered the outer courtyard for a bit.
Suddenly, they spotted a tall and stunning beauty in the distance, wearing the iconic red and white uniform of the inner courtyard. She seemed to be waiting for someone.
"Boss, that senior is so pretty…" Xie Huanyue said, sighing regretfully. "But I heard that's Senior Ma Xiaotao from the inner courtyard. She's really strong and has a fiery temper. I wouldn't dare approach her."
Su Wen: "…."
He shot him a sidelong glance.
Suddenly interested, he took a few steps forward.
"Senior, may I ask you a question?"
"Hmm?"
Ma Xiaotao slowly turned her gaze, causing Xie Huanyue's heart to skip a beat. Her beautiful face was expressionless, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Her tone was icy:
"If you want to ask my name, forget it."
"Would I ask such a cliché question?" Su Wen smiled.
"If you want to ask my age, forget it." Ma Xiaotao crossed her arms and teased.
"Would I ask such a rude question?"
"If you want to ask anything about me, forget it." Ma Xiaotao raised an eyebrow, her tone indifferent.
"Guess it's hopeless after all…" Xie Huanyue mumbled to the side. But Su Wen remained calm, slowly turning around: "Of course, actually, I'm not interested in you at all."
Under Xie Huanyue's shocked gaze, Ma Xiaotao's red lips parted slightly and she let out a questioning "Oh?"
"Young man, I got lost in the outer courtyard. Can you help me find my way home? Maybe even walk me home? When the time comes, whatever you want to do is fine." Ma Xiaotao suddenly grabbed Su Wen's arm flirtatiously, her eyes sultry.
Xie Huanyue: ???
Is this for real?!
Watching them walk away, Su Wen gestured behind his back to signal Xie Huanyue to head home first. Xie Huanyue's restless heart began thumping wildly—he wanted love too! The love of a senior would be even better!
After wandering around the outer courtyard for a while, he finally spotted another beautiful senior in a yellow school uniform, apparently a third-year. Seeing her cold expression, he mustered his courage and stepped forward.
"Senior, may I—"
"Get lost!"
"Okay then."
Xie Huanyue slunk back to the dorm, buried himself in his blanket, and cried.
"Does this stuff really need modeling?"
…
Meanwhile, inner courtyard dorm.
Su Wen walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe, holding his waist, looking a bit pale. He was even kicked lightly in the butt by a pair of stunningly long, fair legs belonging to a beauty inside, who was laughing playfully behind her hand.
She was asking for trouble.
Su Wen grumbled to himself.
His strength was still too weak. Under Soul Emperor Ma Xiaotao's wicked hands, he had no energy left.
Once he got stronger…
"Haa~"
He yawned.
Lying on Ma Xiaotao's soft bed, within minutes, the sound of slippers flapping down the hallway could be heard from outside. Su Wen barely opened his eyes and caught a glimpse of fair, jade-like legs and red-nailed feet in slippers.
But he was exhausted, his eyelids heavy, and soon drifted off to sleep.
The ultimate ice attribute did restrain Ma Xiaotao's evil fire, but unfortunately, her soul power was much higher, so suppressing her evil fire was no easy task.
When he woke up again,
It was already bright outside.
With Ma Xiaotao half draped over him, her body radiating a faint scent, her long legs tangled messily with his.
The sunlight was just right outside. Su Wen didn't wake the peacefully sleeping Ma Xiaotao.
He shifted his consciousness back into his spiritual sea.
Electrolux, now a cloud of black mist, showed no reaction. His spiritual sense was so weak at the moment; he'd have to wait until the competition in Star Luo next year to get the Spirit Devouring Engraving Knife at the auction—only then could he restore Elder Yi, so there was no rush.
As for the three purple spirit balls floating within,
The silkworm cocoon, without Skydream's control, had lost its former toughness and now resembled a cake. The three pet beasts had already consumed half of it; the rest would be saved for future beasts.
Su Wen couldn't help but smile.
With the silkworm cocoon as a backup, he wouldn't have to worry about resources for years. If he threw the beasts into the Star Dou Forest, he feared some god-king might take notice.
Within the Poké Balls,
The other soul beasts had fallen into a short sleep.
Having absorbed such rich power, sleep was the best way to digest it.
That's why he chose to take care of things himself yesterday.
