At the Blue Tyrant Academy, Liu Erlong felt like her mind had completely stopped working. She stared into the distance, unable to process what she was seeing. It was truly a shock to her system. She thought about Yu Xiaogang and how his Spirit had mutated into something so weak. Then she looked at Su Yan and how his Spirit had also mutated, but into something so divine.
The contrast was painful. Yu Xiaogang was truly a good-for-nothing in her eyes now. Liu Erlong realized she could no longer even compare the two men. Su Yan's Spirit was an omnipotent, divine being that defied logic. Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang wasn't even worthy of drinking the water Su Yan used to wash his feet. He was nothing but a joke. Actually, he was worse than a joke; he was just a man who only knew how to use his farting Spirit.
This is outrageous, she thought to herself. She felt a deep sense of regret. How blind was I before? How could I have ever cared for someone like that?
She quickly opened the group chat to share her thoughts.
Liu Erlong: This Transmigrator is absolutely terrifying. I have to ask, where can a person even go to Awaken a Spirit like that?
Tang Yuehua: Su Yan, aren't you being a bit too outstanding? You are making everyone else look bad.
Ah Yin: Wait, what exactly is going on here? Our Spirit Beast race doesn't have any beasts that are this terrifying. Even our great Beast God couldn't possibly have these kinds of abilities! Is it possible that this isn't a Little Monkey at all, but was originally some kind of divine bird?
Bo Saixi: ???
Su Yan's latest display of power was heaven-defying enough to shock even Bo Saixi. She had been staying quiet and acting as if she weren't paying attention, but this forced her out of her stupor. She was full of questions that she couldn't answer. Was he a God? Could a God really change their form so freely? She didn't think so. Even the gods she knew had limits. So why could this Little Monkey change its shape at will?
Far away in the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Bibi Dong had just sat down to rest. However, seeing the news made her stand up straight instantly. She stood there frozen, unable to recover her calm for a long time. Hu Liena was standing by her side with her eyes wide open. A look of pure joy covered the young girl's face.
Teacher, this Spirit is just too heaven-defying, Hu Liena said excitedly. Do you think this Spirit can freely imitate any Spirit Beast it wants?
It's over, Bibi Dong muttered. She plopped back down into her throne, her face turning red with a mix of shame and anger. This little scoundrel was hiding another trick from me! His Spirit, that Little Monkey, definitely has a Spirit Ability that lets it imitate other Spirit Beasts. Damn it! This little bastard is actually calculating everything against me.
Hu Liena looked at her teacher and gave a wry smile. She couldn't help but feel a little bit of amusement at the situation. Hehe, Teacher, it looks like you've lost to him again, she teased.
On the other side of the world, Su Yan and the two girls were sitting comfortably on the back of the giant bird. Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were huddled close in Su Yan's arms. They were shivering slightly because the wind high in the sky was quite cold. Su Yan noticed this and reached out to hold their hands. He began transmitting strands of his Nine Yang Internal Energy into their bodies to warm them up.
The two girls instantly felt the warmth and beamed with joy.
Are you not cold anymore? Su Yan asked with a smile.
Su Yan, you're amazing, Dugu Yan replied, looking down at the ground. The scenery from up here is truly beautiful.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were very happy now. They started looking at the landscape below, which looked like a giant painting spread across the earth. They felt a deep sense of warmth and bliss as they flew through the clouds.

Yanzi is not a Swallow: Look at this! Such beautiful scenery from up here.
Su Yan: I will stand on the highest peak one day, and when I do, all other mountains will seem small.
Group Member Number Nine: I feel so happy and blissful right now.
Seven Treasures Little Princess: Damn it! Don't think I don't know what you two are doing up there. You two are being too hateful! Big Brother Su Yan, I want to go flying too!
Liu Erlong: Tsk tsk. Just thinking about Little Wild Goose and those two being with Su Yan makes me jealous. Flying on a big bird in the sky and looking at the beautiful scenery... I'm truly envious of them.
Tang Yuehua: +1. I feel the same way.
Ah Yin: Su Yan, can you please tell us what is actually going on with that Little Monkey?
Bo Saixi: That Little Monkey is his Spirit. This Spirit should have an imitation Spirit Ability that allows it to mimic and transform into other Spirit Beasts or even other Spirits. It is also a materialized Spirit, which is very rare. Besides that, the rank of this Spirit is extremely high. It even surpasses Divine Rank Spirits. You should think about whether your Spirit Beast race has ever had such a powerful Spirit Beast God in its history.
Ah Yin was completely dumbfounded after reading that. She thought about her race. Don't even talk about a Spirit Beast God, she thought. Even our Lord Dragon God might not be so omnipotent and versatile. This situation really doesn't make sense according to the laws of the world at all!
I Am an Orphan: The Little Monkey is the one doing all the hard work and suffering, while Su Yan just sits back with two beauties in his arms. Life is unfair.
Loves Eating Carrots: Little Monkey: Finally, someone is speaking up for me and my hard work!
Liu Erlong: Old Woman, don't play dead! Come out quickly and say a few words to us. Tell us what you are thinking right now.
Hu Liena: I honestly can't remember how many times Teacher has been outmaneuvered by Su Yan. Let me tell you all the truth. Teacher... Su Yan is definitely your bane!
Yanzi is not a Swallow: Hahahaha!! Su Yan is your bane! That is so true!
Liu Erlong: Su Yan is your bane!
Tang Yuehua: Su Yan is your bane!
Everyone: +1.
Bibi Dong: HU LIENA!!!
Bibi Dong didn't say anything else in the chat. She was so frustrated that she vented her anger on Hu Liena's butt. She gave the little fox such a beating that the girl couldn't stop whimpering in pain.
Liu Erlong: Old Woman, a loss is a loss. You should just accept it. What Hu Liena said is the truth anyway!
Bibi Dong: You shut up. The bet isn't over yet. It only ends when we meet up with the Little Princess and the others at dinner time. I haven't lost until the clock strikes.
Hu Liena rubbed her sore bottom and spoke in a helpless voice. Teacher, you should just admit defeat early and save yourself the trouble! I'll go get you a basin of water right now.
Bibi Dong was furious. She gritted her teeth and looked at her disciple. Shut up! I already said the bet isn't over. I still have a chance to win this. What are you getting water for anyway?
Hu Liena ran out of the main hall in one breath before she dared to reply. I'm getting it for Teacher to practice... washing feet!
???
Bibi Dong was instantly half-dead with anger. She couldn't believe her own student said that to her. Damn it! She thought. Am I really going to have to wash that little scoundrel's feet? Wait a minute. What did he mean by 'if it's good, get a membership card'?
The sun began to set, and evening arrived. Zhao Wuji led the Shrek group to a small town located just outside the Star Dou Great Forest. After looking around, they found a decent-looking hotel to stay in.
Everyone will stay here tonight, Zhao Wuji announced to the students. We will continue our journey tomorrow morning. Be ready because we are preparing to enter the Star Dou Great Forest. Also, remember that you have to cover your own expenses for the rooms and the food.
The hotel was a simple two-story building. The restaurant was on the first floor, and the lodging rooms were on the second floor. It was still quite a distance away from the actual forest, but it was the best place nearby. After giving his instructions, Zhao Wuji booked a single room for himself and went upstairs without looking back.
Shrek Academy was poor. In fact, Shrek was really damn poor. Teachers like Zhao Wuji and Flender had almost no regular income. Students like Tang San had to rely entirely on the subsidies they received from the Spirit Hall to cover their daily expenses.
When the teachers and students traveled, they always paid for their own meals and rooms. To put it bluntly, if it wasn't for the money from the Spirit Hall, Shrek Academy probably wouldn't even be able to operate. It was honestly baffling how they had the nerve to oppose the Spirit Hall when they survived on its money.
Ma Hongjun found a place to sit and slumped onto the table. I'm so hungry, he said weakly. I've only eaten a few of Oscar's sausages all day. I'm practically starving to death here.
Dai Mubai sat down beside him and looked at him grumpily. Dead Fatty, stop talking nonsense and just hurry up and order the food! You're the biggest eater here anyway.
Ma Hongjun smiled and looked at Dai Mubai. So, are you treating us today? You have the highest subsidy among us, so you're the big spender.
Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu sat at the same table together. They were all preoccupied with their own thoughts. They were somewhat worried about whether Su Yan would be able to find them in this small town.
Dai Mubai glanced at everyone and tried to act like a leader. Treating everyone is no problem for me. It's fate that we can all study together at Shrek. Let's consider this meal as our formal introduction to each other.
Ning Rongrong heard this and waved her small hand to stop him. No need for that, she said firmly. Waiter! Bring out double portions of all your best food. All the expenses today will be paid for by me.
