Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 336 Xiao Xiao: Wang Dong, please don't come to me on behalf of Shrek Academy. I'm afraid Senior Sister and the academy will misunderstand...

"Xiao Xiao, it's been more than two years since I last saw you. You've grown so much taller!"

"You too, Wang Dong. It's been a while since we last met. You've grown even taller and more handsome... I never thought we'd meet again."

At the border between the Sun Moon Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire, young master Wang Dong welcomed the most wonderful day of her life—

Waking up on the silk-covered soft bed in the five-star hotel's reception area, she saw her most important target on this trip, Xiao Xiao, standing prettily outside the door, gazing at her with affectionate and longing eyes.

Overwhelmed with joy, Young Master Wang Dong sprang out of bed in a flash, changed out of his pajamas into a more formal outfit, gave Xiao Xiao a big hug, and held her hand affectionately as they reminisced.

Two years have passed and a lot has changed, especially since Xiao Xiao is in a critical period of growth and development. She is no longer the petite girl who would cry after being threatened by Xu Tianxi.

Wang Dong... was also quite well-developed, with soft facial features that made him excessively handsome. He was a fair-skinned young man, holding Xiao Xiao's hand, giving off a somewhat refined yet roguish vibe...

At least in Ling Luochen's eyes outside the door, this was a genuine scoundrel. After more than two years, he couldn't wait to grab Xiao Xiao's hand and press his face against hers as soon as he saw her. He was clearly a lustful bastard.

You should at least learn from Xu Sanshi. Although the young sect leader of the Xuanming Sect is also inseparable from Jiang Nannan every day, he truly protects her with his life. As for you... tsk tsk.

“Xiao Xiao has been relying on me and my senior sister for the past two years. As her senior sister, I have to keep a close eye on her. Wang Dong is the young sect leader of Haotian Sect. It’s hard to say whether he’s truly in love with her. Otherwise, he would have come to rescue Xiao Xiao long ago.”

Ling Luochen subconsciously regarded herself as Xiao Xiao's older sister and elder, and secretly planned to prepare a test for Wang Dong, who was more than two years late.

You are the young sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, and our Xiao Xiao also possesses twin martial souls. Both of your martial souls are no less powerful than the Clear Sky Hammer, and your future is bright. Furthermore, with the Sun Moon Empire providing you with the full support, it's entirely possible that you could become a level 98 Super Douluo, let alone a Limit Douluo.

Thinking this, Ling Luochen focused his attention and scanned Wang Dong's cultivation level. His eyes widened in surprise, followed by a hint of disdain.

"It's been over two years, how come this guy only recently broke through to Soul Master? He was already a Soul Venerable back in the tournament, he's not even as good as Xiao Xiao."

When Xiao Xiao was imprisoned during the first competition, her cultivation level was close to that of a Soul Venerable. For more than two years, she received special care from Xu Tianxi and Jing Hongchen, and was provided with a constant supply of all kinds of rare and precious materials. Her usual cultivation was taught by Zhang Lexuan and Ling Luochen.

Xu Sanshi would occasionally take Jiang Nannan along to keep an eye on things and also to investigate whether Xiao Xiao had any intention of defecting.

After killing Qian Duoduo and Lin Huiqun, Xu Tianxi divided the captured soul bones among himself, giving one ten-thousand-year soul bone to Xiao Xiao as encouragement for her breakthrough to Soul Master.

It has a bit of a child-rearing feel to it.

Not long ago, Xu Tianxi killed Xian Lin'er and then gave Xiao Xiao a top-quality soul bone, aiming to make the most of Shrek Academy's resources and cultivate the talent he brought from Shrek Academy.

With a massive influx of resources, after more than two years, Xiao Xiao has become a Soul Master, and her soul power is just two levels higher than Wang Dong's.

Compared to this, Wang Dong, that lazy dog, seems utterly useless.

With the abundant resources of the Clear Sky Sect and Shrek Academy, you're still inferior to Xiao Xiao of the Sun Moon Empire? Have you been indulging in debauchery for the past two years?

Ling Luochen silently labeled Wang Dong in his mind as "not serious about cultivation and suspected of philandering and delaying his cultivation." He planned to talk to Zhang Lexuan about it when he got back and ask her to supervise Wang Dong, who grabbed his hand right away.

Wang Dong was naturally unaware that she had been labeled as unfortunate because of her laziness in cultivation, and even more so because she forgot to consider that she was a man, which gave Ling Luochen a very bad first impression.

The joy of meeting her good friend for the first time made her have endless things to say. She confided in Xiao Xiao, whose cheeks were slightly flushed. Xiao Xiao responded casually, and it was almost always a question-and-answer session.

"Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao, how have you been these past two years? Have you suffered any injustices?"

"No, no, the Sun Moon Empire treats me quite well. I have a detached apartment dormitory, and the conditions are much better than Shrek Academy. The teachers here don't force me to learn soul tools either; my cultivation is entirely up to me."

Xiao Xiao compared the luxurious apartment she had gotten used to living in for the past two years with Shrek Academy's old, dilapidated ten-square-meter double dormitory, and her eyes twitched, not wanting to mention it anymore. After collecting their registration fees and tuition, who knows how much money Shrek Academy embezzled from top to bottom? They couldn't even build a decent dormitory building, let alone a proper canteen—the food for the core disciples was far inferior.

Upon entering the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Xiao Xiao naturally ended up in the Control Department. Generally, all that was required was to know how to use a soul tool, and she also had to attend classes. However, twin soul master geniuses were extremely rare, and the Sun Moon Empire rarely saw one in a hundred years. So, they simply let Xiao Xiao do as she pleased.

As for the so-called teaching tasks, they didn't exist at all, and there was no brainwashing with empty words of honor. Instead, Xiao Xiao was given two older students as study partners.

Of course, they were all female students.

The only requirement for Xiao Xiao is to check in on the Soul Battle Arena, participate in the daily combat practice of the Control System, fully learn from Chief Ji Juechen's fighting spirit, treat all the masters in the academy as targets to challenge, and hone her powerful strength in actual combat.

Real combat was no problem for Xiao Xiao at all. In fact, she initially thought that issuing a challenge before a fight and forcibly starting a brawl on campus would result in being sent to the dean's office for solitary confinement, which was too civilized.

People say that the Sun and Moon Empire is completely different from the original Three Kingdoms. Xiao Xiao roughly understood the differences; it was indeed a gap in civilization.

Think of Zhou Yi, that old hag from Shrek Academy who forced them to run a hundred laps because they didn't fight at the start of the semester, and expelled them if they didn't finish. Tsk tsk, there's no comparison.

"It's good that you haven't been mistreated here. Do you have any money on you? Did the Sun Moon Empire take your wallet?" Wang Dong continued to ask.

“I’m quite wealthy. Until a few months ago, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy would give me a monthly stipend of 1,000 gold soul coins. After I broke through to Soul Master, they gave me a lot of money. I can also apply for interest-free student loans if I need anything.”

Xiao Xiao did her calculations and realized that she should have nearly 100,000 gold soul coins in savings.
"Huh? Then why did they stop paying you? Just because you're a Soul Master doesn't mean they won't give you money?" Wang Dong frowned.

Xiao Xiao's expression changed slightly, and she replied quietly, "Because the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was destroyed by Shrek Academy's terrorist attack and is still being rebuilt, they can't take care of us for the time being."

"However, we have been staying at the Mingdu City Hotel during this period. The academy said that once the academy is rebuilt, the subsidies in various aspects will be gradually paid out."

Shrek in the trenches is doing something inhuman!

Wang Dong's expression changed, and he cursed the despicable Shrek Academy in his heart again. He patted his chest and said, "Xiao Xiao, you need to know that this has nothing to do with me. I am firmly against Shrek Academy's reckless actions that have caused so many students to die tragically and be arrested."

"I know about this, and I certainly won't blame you," Xiao Xiao said with a smile.

"That's good. By the way, where are your parents? I remember you have a family..." Wang Dong asked again.

“They were brought here a long time ago. Those people arranged jobs for my parents nearby. My father is now a security guard, and my mother works part-time in the canteen. Apart from sometimes missing my hometown, the salary and benefits are quite good.”

As Xiao Xiao spoke, she couldn't help but marvel at how comprehensive and humanitarian the arrangements made by the Sun Moon Empire were, to the point that they exceeded her expectations.

She used to be a twin martial soul genius at Shrek Academy, but she was still subjected to the academy's daily PUA. Although there was nothing wrong with treating everyone equally, Kong Tianxi had told her that cultivating geniuses required insisting on differentiation.

A thoroughbred horse needs to be fed better and more refined to show its difference from a nag. Similarly, a genius with twin martial souls should receive preferential treatment in the early stages so that he can unleash his greater potential in the later stages.

Is there a problem with saying that? It doesn't seem so.

Xu Tianxi completely refuted Shrek Academy's ideology, and Xiao Xiao thought about it carefully and found no problem with it. Recently, even her senior sister Zhang Lexuan had been advising her to give up on Shrek Academy.

Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan often came to persuade her to adapt to the environment, saying that maybe once she cultivated into a Soul Emperor or Soul Saint and possessed considerable strength, she would be able to travel the continent on her own?
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Xiao pursed her lips and said:
"Wang Dong, if you're here on behalf of Shrek Academy to persuade me to go back, I think you'd better not say anything. I'm afraid Senior Sister and the academy will misunderstand."

Wang Dong immediately panicked, gripping Xiao Xiao's hand tightly and shaking it, saying:

"That's absolutely impossible! I've severed all ties with Shrek, and there's nothing between us anymore. In short, I've cut off all relations! I'm here to find you!"
