An hour later.

Ye Chen and Wang Dong finished their cultivation.

"Ye Chen, has your secret technique become more effective? I feel like my cultivation speed has increased compared to during the day."

Wang Dong blinked her beautiful blue-pink eyes and looked at Ye Chen curiously.

"Yes, this secret technique has a unique feature: the more in sync the two practitioners are, the faster the cultivation speed will be."

“You’ve already trained with me once, so following my rhythm will naturally make you better than the first time.”

Ye Chen nodded.

They described intimacy as "tacit understanding".

To prevent Wang Dong from having other ideas.

"Really? We have such great chemistry!"

Wang Dong's eyes brightened slightly, and he felt a strange sense of joy in his heart.

"Alright, I'm a little tired from using my secret technique. Let's rest first," Ye Chen waved his hand, feigning exhaustion.

"Okay, okay, then you get some rest, thank you~"

Wang Dong nodded repeatedly, got off Ye Chen's bed, and crawled back into his own little quilt.

……

Soon, Ye Chen turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Although it was a brand new dormitory, Ye Chen slept soundly.

Wang Dong, on the other hand, was still awake. Instead, he lay on his side, using the dim light from the window to secretly watch Ye Chen.

For some reason, he felt that Ye Chen was still incredibly charming even when he was asleep...

This was the first time he had ever met such a perfect boy; he couldn't help but feel fond of him in every way.

"Hmm... I don't think I've fallen for him..."

Wang Dong touched his slightly flushed face, feeling somewhat incredulous yet also finding it reasonable.

He showed exceptional talent from a young age, learning everything quickly and surpassing his peers in cultivation.

Although he had many suitors in the Haotian Sect, none of them caught his eye.

Forget about taking a liking to them, they're just a bunch of idiots who only know how to forge iron, they don't even have the interest to give him a second glance.

The reason I came to Shrek Academy was partly because I was interested in the academy itself, and partly because I was interested in the geniuses there.

However, he was somewhat disappointed when he first arrived. The number one academy on the continent actually had a level 11 piece of trash...

Not to mention others.

Although he lost to Huo Yuhao on the first day, it was because he was careless. If they really fought, he was confident that he could beat Huo Yuhao to a pulp.

Well, he also had to admit that Huo Yuhao was quite lucky, unexpectedly obtaining the Profound Water Pill and the Soul Ascension Pill; otherwise, he would still be just a level 12 piece of trash.

Aside from Huo Yuhao's hard work and good luck, everyone else seemed ordinary to him.

Even those prodigies at levels 28 and 29 are nothing special in his eyes; with a little effort, he can easily catch up.

However, when facing Ye Chen, he seemed to see an insurmountable mountain, one that he could only look up to...

It wasn't until he met Ye Chen that he realized what a true "monster" was.

"My eldest and second uncles said my father was very powerful when he was young. I wonder who was more powerful, Ye Chen or my father when they were young..." Wang Dong's eyelids grew heavy, and finally... he slowly drifted off to sleep.

……

……

The next morning.

Ye Chen got up early.

Wang Dong was also well-trained by Zhou Yi, and dared not sleep in late for fear of being late.

After a quick wash, the two walked out of the dormitory side by side.

Coincidentally, Huo Yuhao and Long San, who were diagonally opposite, also came out.

Huo Yuhao was already thin and small, and compared to Long San, he seemed like he would break at the slightest touch...

The four of them stared at each other. Huo Yuhao looked at Ye Chen, his eyes filled with intense hostility.

"You wait, I'll surpass you sooner or later!" Huo Yuhao said through gritted teeth, then turned and left.

"Uh, what happened to him? Did you bully him last night, Long San?" Ye Chen looked at Long San with some confusion.

"Hehe, don't slander me, boss." Long San chuckled and joked, "On the contrary, you guys must have had a great time last night, right?"

Long San gave Ye Chen and Wang Dong a meaningful look.

"Damn it, Long San, don't talk nonsense, believe me or I'll beat you up?" Ye Chen's face darkened, feeling that his personality had been insulted.

Wang Dong, on the other hand, was innocent and adorable, blinking her bright, lively eyes. She clearly didn't understand the meaning behind Long San's gaze.

"No, no, no, boss, I was wrong... I'll be going now~"

Long San sensed Ye Chen's malicious gaze, quickly shrank back, and fled.

Although he was physically imposing, he was only a level 21 Great Soul Master.

If you anger Ye Chen, you will definitely be humiliated by him.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand." Wang Dong curiously came over at this moment, scratching his head with a bewildered look on his face.

"Children shouldn't ask about adult matters." Ye Chen flicked Wang Dong's wrist and turned to leave.

"Hey, who's a kid? You're not that much older than me, Ye Chen, you bastard, explain yourself..." Wang Dong was furious.

He was actually underestimated!
Damn it!
……

……

……

Class time is naturally tedious and boring.

Practical training, physical training, and theoretical training are conducted in rotation.

Aside from the knowledge of soul tools being somewhat useful to Ye Chen, the rest of his knowledge wasn't really of much use to him.

The various courses also made Ye Chen completely disappointed with Shrek Academy's teaching methods.

In just one month of classes, the students have already become polarized.

On one side are those with power and connections. With the help of cultivation resources and high-intensity training, their cultivation speed is extremely fast, and several of them have already advanced by 1 level.

The other group consists of those without resources, whose soul power level is barely at the beginner level of 16 or 17. No matter how much they train, their soul power will not improve much, and they will probably remain stagnant for three months. If they are lucky, they may be able to advance one level, but in the end, they will also be cannon fodder, becoming part of the 50% that are eliminated and serving as a foil for others.

……

……

in the afternoon.

After school, Ye Chen declined Wu Feng and Ning Tian's invitation to dinner and instead went to the east gate of Shrek City.

There are quite a few small vendors here.

The most popular stall was naturally Huo Yuhao's grilled fish stand.

At that moment, Huo Yuhao had just set up his stall when many students began to gather around and line up on their own initiative.

Although Ye Chen arrived late, several female students blushed and offered him their seats, which allowed him to be placed at the front of the line.

Next to Huo Yuhao's grilled fish stall, Tang Ya was diligently helping out while also sneaking a bite of grilled fish.

At this moment, Tang Ya seemed to realize something, and she raised her head slightly to meet Ye Chen's gaze.

"Ah, it's him..."

Tang Ya's eyes lit up the moment she saw Ye Chen.

The first time Tang Ya saw Ye Chen, she thought this junior was exceptionally handsome and wanted to recruit him into the Tang Sect as a benchmark for good looks.

Later, after making some inquiries, she discovered that Ye Chen was not only handsome but also incredibly strong, even stronger than Bei Bei, making him a true rookie king.

This made her even more eager to recruit Ye Chen into the Tang Clan.

Such a talented person should join the Tang Clan!
Thinking of this, Tang Ya quickly waved to Ye Chen and called out, "Junior, come here, your senior will treat you to grilled fish~"

PS1: The protagonist of this book will join the Tang Sect, turn it into his own backyard, and find a chance to dump Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei. The Tang Sect will then refuse to accept male disciples, hehehehe…

PS2: [Darkened Tang Ya is so damn good-looking! Darkened, she absolutely has to be darkened! Switching between black and white Tang Ya is so fun!]
