Douluo Continent: The Eternal Dawn

Chapter 65 The Clash Between Tang Wutong and Zhou Yi

The new year's student recruitment is gradually coming to an end, and the freshmen dormitories are bustling with activity. Although each dormitory room isn't very large, it's convenient because it's shared by two people, and the soundproofing is quite good.

Besides the two wooden beds, there is extra space to place cabinets, wooden tables, wooden chairs, and other items; the space is more than enough.

The warm sunlight shone in from the windows on both sides of the door, landing directly on Ye Xixuan's and Huang Chutian's beds, illuminating the otherwise dimly lit dormitory with two clear beams of golden light.

These days, Tang Ya is busy with her promotion exams for the new semester and hasn't had time to see Ye Xixuan.

Ye Xixuan simply stayed in the dormitory to cultivate, only going to the freshman cafeteria with Huang Chutian at mealtimes.

As his soul power cultivation improved, he now felt the difficulty of cultivating an ultimate martial soul more and more deeply. Each level of soul power improvement required a long period of accumulation, which perfectly matched the characteristic of ultimate martial souls: a gradual accumulation leading to a powerful release.

Of course, this is without external assistance. If he could fuse several soul bones, Ye Xixuan's soul power level would definitely be able to break through to level 40 in a very short time.

Elder Mu simply hopes that he can solidify his foundation at this stage, so that he can have a smoother path in his future cultivation. Otherwise, with Shrek Academy's resources, he could easily equip him with a complete set of high-quality soul bones.

Huang Chutian didn't know if he was just naturally diligent in his cultivation or if he was inspired by Ye Xixuan, but he had been cultivating like crazy these past few days.

Ye Xixuan slowly opened his eyes after finishing his meditation, and stared blankly at the black soul power surging around Huang Chutian opposite him.

He was exceptionally gifted from a young age, and in recent years he had been in contact with geniuses and elites on Poseidon Island. It seems that he has lost the basic concept and understanding of the cultivation level that his peers should have.

Ye Xixuan could sense the fluctuations of soul power emanating from Huang Chutian. His soul power cultivation level should be around level 25, which is considered to be among the top in this year's freshmen.

Moreover, his martial soul, the Hercules Ape, is still quite different from top-tier martial souls like the White Tiger and the Red Dragon, which shows how much effort he has put into cultivation over the years.

Not everyone is like Wang Dong in the original story, who, despite possessing two top-tier martial souls, squandered his talent due to laziness and aversion to hard work. When he enrolled as a freshman, his soul power cultivation had barely reached level twenty-one.

Drawn by the energy, Huang Chutian quickly finished his cultivation, met Ye Xixuan's gaze, and scratched his head in confusion.

"Why are you looking at me?"

"Do you usually cultivate like this?" Ye Xixuan suddenly asked.

Huang Chutian nodded blankly, "Yeah, what's wrong? Actually, when I was in the family, I often spent the whole day cultivating. Anyway, someone would bring me my three meals a day."

"So you don't usually interact with other people, no wonder your emotional intelligence is so low." Ye Xixuan smiled with sudden realization. However, what he was thinking was that in the original story, Zhou Yi, because of her own selfishness, had negated the efforts of countless students like Huang Chutian.

But who would care?
Huang Chutian stood up and laughed dismissively.

"You don't understand, do you? This is what makes a boy bold and heroic." As he spoke, he habitually showed off his muscles.

"By the way, we should have class today, right?"

Upon hearing this, both Huang Chutian, who spoke the words, and Ye Xixuan, who heard them, subconsciously looked at the soul-guided clock hanging in the center of the dormitory bed.

"Uh, class is about to start, looks like I won't have time for breakfast."

The doors of the freshman teaching building opened, and a group of freshmen, dressed in white school uniforms, filed in. Each of them had a small green monster badge on the left chest, symbolizing Shrek Academy.

The colors of the school uniforms and school buildings correspond to the different grades. White school buildings and uniforms symbolize the new students.

Since Ye Xixuan and Huang Chutian had given up on going to breakfast, there was still some time before the bell rang when they arrived at the classroom of Class 7, the freshmen class.

The spacious lecture hall was already quite full of people. Huang Chutian followed behind Ye Xixuan, giving the impression that Ye Xixuan was the leader.

This is the credibility that comes with strength.

Ye Xixuan casually found an empty seat and sat down. Huang Chutian was about to sit next to Ye Xixuan when a female student beat him to it.

The female student had long blue hair and a rosy face, making her a pretty and delicate young girl.

Huang Chutian was stunned for a moment, then prepared to sit on the other side of Ye Xixuan. The previous scene was repeated again, almost making him think he was seeing things.

When he looked closely, he realized that there were twin sisters flanking Ye Xixuan on either side, and the two looked almost identical.

"You're way too popular with girls." Huang Chutian didn't hold back and immediately started complaining, eventually ending up sitting behind Ye Xixuan.

Ye Xixuan glanced at the two female students beside him, and based on his memories from his previous life, he recognized their identities.

He then smiled and greeted the two of them.

"Hello, my name is Ye Xixuan."

"My name is Lan Susu." The female student on the left lowered her head shyly and introduced herself to the girl on the right.

"Her name is Lan Luoluo, and she's my younger sister." Compared to her older sister Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo was a little bolder. She blushed and secretly peeked at Ye Xixuan's face before taking out an exquisite little box from her storage soul tool and speaking in a clear voice.

“I saw that you came directly from the freshman dormitory building. I guess you might not have had breakfast. These are some snacks I made at home. If you don’t mind, you can have some to tide you over.”

"No, you said you saw us earlier, so why is it only Xi Xuan who got to see us?" Huang Chutian immediately became dissatisfied. His behavior would make anyone who came shout "She Niu!"

"What about mine?"

Lan Luoluo, being a bit too thin-skinned, opened the lid of the wooden box, revealing a variety of exquisite pastries inside.

"Um, please have some too."

"Haha, then I won't be polite." A smile immediately appeared on Huang Chutian's face. He didn't treat himself as an outsider at all, and reached out to grab a handful of pastries and put them into his mouth.

Upon seeing this, Ye Xixuan's lips twitched slightly, but he still politely accepted the wooden box from Lan Luoluo's hand.

"Thank you."

Lan Luoluo gave a hesitant reply.

"You're welcome."

"This is for you too." Lan Susu, looking slightly shy, took out an identical box, and Ye Xixuan, naturally, couldn't show favoritism, so he accepted it as well.

Huang Chutian wanted to say something more, but realized that he didn't seem to have a share in this, so he could only smack his lips with a sense of unsatisfaction.

Ye Xixuan himself didn't have many thoughts on it; he was simply not used to rejecting other people's sincere kindness.

The bell rang for class soon, but the homeroom teacher of Class 7 was nowhere to be seen. Without a teacher's supervision, the classroom was in a chaotic mess, with the new students chatting amongst themselves.

The more unfamiliar the environment and the people around, the more interested one is in talking.

While eating pastries, Ye Xixuan casually asked Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo with a gentle smile.

"Judging from your accents, you must be from the Heavenly Soul Empire. Which city are you from?"

"Tianling City." The two sisters answered in unison, which immediately silenced Ye Xixuan.

They looked at each other blankly, and just as they were about to say something, Shrek Square outside the window suddenly became chaotic.

Some students in the class who liked to watch the excitement immediately gathered by the window. One of them said in surprise, "It looks like the students from Class 1 of the freshmen are in Shrek Square. I recognize some of them. They're from the same place as me."

Ye Xixuan also looked out the window, his expression becoming somewhat strange.

Tang Wutong, who had previously met Ye Xixuan, was standing in the center of Shrek Square, confronting an old woman. He was also familiar with this old woman; she was Zhou Yi, whom he had met when he first came to Shrek Academy.

Zhou Yi stared coldly at Tang Wutong.

"I'll give you one more chance to repeat what you said earlier."

"I'll say this a thousand times. If your teaching method consists only of so-called running, then don't come here to mislead students." Tang Wutong crossed her arms and stared defiantly at Zhou Yi.

Before she finished speaking, rings of spirit rings appeared beneath her feet, causing the students of Class 1 to gasp in surprise.

purple! purple! purple!
This not only symbolizes Tang Wutong's cultivation level as a three-ring Soul Master, but also her Soul Ring ratio, which far exceeds conventional understanding.

Tang Wutong gave a haughty snort.

"If you can get them to have a spirit ring ratio like mine through running, I'll take back what I said."

"Don't forget, as the class teacher, I have the right to expel any student." Zhou Yi's face darkened, and a terrifying aura surged from her body. That powerful fluctuation of soul power made every student present feel like they couldn't breathe.

Two yellow, two purple, and two black spirit rings—a total of six—circled around her, pulsating with an indescribable aura of power.

Although her spirit ring ratio is not as good as Tang Wutong's, she possesses two black ten-thousand-year spirit rings.

"If you don't accept my teaching methods, you can get out of here!"

In the next instant, a burly man in black appeared beside Tang Wutong without warning, and with every move he made, he instantly suppressed Zhou Yi's aura.

"Let's see who dares to tell the young sect master of Haotian Sect to get lost!"
