Douluo Continent: I'm writing a diary, and something's not right with you guys.

He was stunned for more than ten seconds before he came to his senses. His first thought was: Oh no, my secret has been exposed!

After seeing off his father, who looked radiant and seemed twenty years younger, Lin Ye sat down in a chair with a blank expression.

The expressionless face remained for a few minutes, then he sighed deeply and began to write down today's diary entries in his mind.

[I'm helpless, I'm truly helpless. I just woke up and received this shocking news: the Haotian Sect actually wants me to accompany Wang Dong'er to Shrek Academy?!]

The inspector just left yesterday, and this happens today. Isn't this just making things clear?

Lin Ye, stop pretending, kid. We know your secret. We're all on the same side, so we won't make things difficult for you. Since you're a hidden genius, then come with our young master to Shrek Academy and shine!

Lin Ye sat at the table, expressionless, his diary filled with powerless complaints.

I knew it, I couldn't hold out any longer! But I didn't expect it to happen so quickly!

I've only been here a short time, and I haven't even had a chance to write a few days' worth of diary entries and collect my rewards, yet I've already been targeted by the sect's higher-ups?

No, no, if we were truly exposed, things wouldn't be so calm, and I wouldn't just be given the task of accompanying the young master to school, would I?

[Besides, is Shrek Academy even a place for humans? But I can't refuse. The sect's higher-ups have personally spoken, not pursuing the matter of me hiding my talents, but simply allowing me to accompany the young master to Shrek. This is already an immense favor.]

[Fine, what's done is done. It's just Shrek Academy, right? It's just accompanying Wang Dong'er to school, okay? I'll go, alright?]

Chapter 16 Shrek? Just a den of iniquity!

If I had a choice and could simply refuse, I really wouldn't want to set foot in that godforsaken place, Shrek Academy, for even a second.

Outsiders all think that Shrek Academy is the number one soul master academy on the continent and a holy place in the hearts of all soul masters. But if you really believe that it is just a simple academy for teaching and educating people, then you are too naive.

Unfortunately, when you're under someone's roof, you have no choice but to bow your head.

Ultimately, it's my own fault for not communicating with the system beforehand, and for not letting it completely conceal the unusual phenomena that occurred when my first martial soul evolved and my second martial soul awakened.

Although it didn't create any grand or exaggerated scenes like the moon rising over the sea or a celestial king descending from the heavens, a sacred beam of light shooting straight into the sky was still eye-catching enough.

After thinking it over and over, I realized that this was all the system's fault. It didn't care about me at all, as I was just trying to hide my talents and develop. It ruined my chance to conceal my abilities.

Now, things are really messed up. The sect's higher-ups have their eyes on me and are determined to send me to Shrek Academy for further studies. I can't escape it.

However, you should know, you really shouldn't say it.

In the original novel Douluo II, Wang Dong'er is described as a unique beauty, unparalleled in the world, a truly first-rate beauty.

Oh no! Why am I starting to look forward to this?

Damn it, Douluo Continent's nickname truly lives up to its name: the Continent of Love. I've only been in this godforsaken place for a few days, and the seal on me, a dignified Sigma man, is already starting to loosen?

No, no, I have to find a way to reinforce it. Women will only slow down my sword-drawing speed, especially since she's the original female lead with a built-in love-struck debuff. I can't get involved with her.

On another note, what if Wang Dong'er really takes a liking to me? The model of this body I'm in is quite impressive—sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose, and outstanding temperament. In my previous life, I'd be good enough to debut as a celebrity. It seems pretty normal for a young girl to have her eye on me, right?

A single room in the girls' dormitory at Shrek Academy.

Xiao Xiao was sitting cross-legged on the bed, hugging a pillow. As soon as the diary in her mind was refreshed, she immediately scanned through all the contents.

She hadn't paid much attention to the first half of the complaints, but when she saw Lin Ye talking about Wang Dong'er and even narcissistically worrying that the other party would take a liking to her, Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up, and she tightened her grip on the pillow.

Wang Dong'er is the little princess of the Haotian Sect. Countless geniuses from various sects would kill to even have a chance to speak to her. This guy named Lin Ye actually worries that Wang Dong'er might take a liking to him.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but swing her legs, her cheeks puffed out, and her curiosity grew wildly like weeds.

She wanted to see just how handsome this Lin Ye was, that he dared to say such things. Could he really be so handsome that Wang Dong'er would fall for him at first sight?

……

When the diary in Wang Dong'er's mind started to tremble, she checked it immediately.

When she saw Lin Ye complaining about being sent to Shrek Academy at the beginning, she couldn't help but purse her lips and secretly sigh at her father's efficiency. In just half a day, Lin Ye had already mentioned this matter in his diary.

The further Wang Dong'er read, the hotter her cheeks became, especially when she saw Lin Ye say he was worried she would fall for him. She couldn't help but let out a soft hum, her ear tips turning so red they were almost bleeding.

How can Lin Ye be so shameless?

Is Wang Dong'er the kind of person who falls for any handsome guy she sees? Worrying that she might like him is utter nonsense!

She turned her head away angrily to look at the willow tree outside the window, but the scene from yesterday couldn't help but replay in her mind.

Lin Ye's handsome and upright figure, along with his somewhat nonchalant eyes, appeared in her mind, and Wang Dong'er's heart skipped a beat for no reason.

Thinking of this, her cheeks burned even hotter. She raised her hand and patted her face, muttering softly, "Wang Dong'er, what are you thinking about! Stop thinking about it!"

Back to Shrek Academy, its reputation as the number one academy on the continent was so great that it lured countless young men and women with dreams of becoming Soul Masters to scramble for a place there.

But to be honest, this place only sounds impressive; once you really look inside, it's just an empty shell with a lot of hype.

Forget it, I won't go into the details of all that filth today. I'm already in a bad mood because of going to Shrek Academy, there's no need to write about those disgusting things and make myself sick, ruining my mood for the day.

The moment this diary entry was updated, the female protagonists who had copies of the diary instantly went wild.

Xiao Xiao, who was just imagining what Lin Ye looked like, suddenly slammed her pillow on the bed with a "thud," jumped up from the bed, her eyes wide open, and almost screamed out loud.

"What do you mean by having an empty reputation? What do you mean by all sorts of rotten things?!"

Xiao Xiao paced anxiously back and forth in the room, scratching her hair, her heart itching like it was being scratched by a cat. "Just tell me already! What's the point of only saying half of what you mean?! It's driving me crazy!"

In her heart, and in the eyes of all the Soul Masters on the entire Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy is an irreplaceable holy land for Soul Masters.

But Lin Ye's words implied that this was not a sacred place at all, but rather a den of iniquity.

If someone else had said this, Xiao Xiao would have thought they were just being sour grapes and maliciously smearing Shrek Academy.

But these words came from Lin Ye's diary.

During this period, all the secrets and seemingly outlandish predictions that Lin Ye wrote in his diary have come true, one by one.

He never lied in his diary, and even the most outrageous statements eventually came to be true.

That's why they were so insanely curious about the "truth about Shrek" that Lin Ye mentioned.

On the other side, Wang Dong'er had long since lost her earlier shyness. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and her fingertips had clenched the hem of her clothes into wrinkles.

She grew up in the Haotian Sect, listening to the legendary stories of Shrek Academy. Her two uncles often told her that Shrek Academy was the most prestigious academy on the continent, and encouraged her to go there to cultivate.

But now, Lin Ye says that Shrek Academy is all show and no substance, and that there are many shameful things they have done?

"Saying only halfway through is too much!"

Wang Dong'er stomped her foot angrily, her cheeks puffed up like little buns, but her mind was already racing, trying to imagine what kind of mess Lin Ye was talking about.

Ma Xiaotiao, inside Shrek Academy, also stopped what he was doing, his smile vanished, and his brows furrowed slightly.

She's been in Shrek Academy's inner courtyard for so long, is there really some inside story she doesn't know?

For a moment, all the holders of the diary copies related to Shrek Academy were so anxious that they could hardly sit still because of Lin Ye's half-sentence.

It felt like a stone was hanging over my heart, neither going up nor down, and my mind was filled with the question, "What kind of mess has Shrek gotten into?"

……

After writing the last sentence in his diary, Lin Ye stretched contentedly.

A few days later was the day the sect arranged for him to depart for Shrek Academy.

Lin Ye sighed softly and raised his hand to rub his temples.

Fine, I'll go then.

With the diary as his cheat code, even in Shrek Academy, a place rife with trouble, he might still be able to roam freely.

Chapter 17 Settlement Reward: 100,000-Year Soul Bone!

The outer city of Haotian Sect.

Lin Ye sat cross-legged on the bed in the bedroom, his eyes gently closed, his breathing steady, and a bluish-green aura swirling around him.

Lin Ye has already begun to try to cultivate the Everlasting Spring Technique. Although he has made some progress, he has at least made it to the basics.

Open your eyes, activate the diary system, and select to settle today's rewards.

[Today's Diary Rewards: Soul Power +3, Right Arm Bone of a 100,000-Year-Old Titan Ape]

Two distinct orbs of light burst forth from the diary.

A burst of light merged into his body, and a gentle yet extremely powerful current of soul energy flowed slowly along his eight extraordinary meridians.

Wherever it passed, the meridians were nourished, and the level 26 soul power, like a flood that had been released, broke through the barriers one after another without any hindrance.

Level 27, Level 28, Level 29!

In just a few breaths, his soul power was firmly fixed at the peak of a level 29 Great Soul Master.

Lin Ye couldn't help but slowly exhale a breath of stale air, open his eyes, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in them.

Another ball of light slowly condensed in his palm.

The cool touch came first, and then a Titan Ape soul bone, completely black and covered with mysterious golden patterns, lay quietly in his palm.

The soul power fluctuations swirling around the soul bone were so dense that they were almost tangible. Even a light touch could reveal the terrifying energy contained within. It was a complete right arm bone of a 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape.

Lin Ye raised his hand and put the 100,000-year-old soul bone into his storage soul tool. The right arm bone of the Titan Giant Ape was quite suitable for his martial soul.

His martial soul is a staff-like weapon, suitable for strength and explosive power, and the Titan Giant Ape is the epitome of strength, but now is not the time to absorb it.

After carefully accepting the reward, Lin Ye closed his eyes again, his mind sinking back into his sea of ​​consciousness. With a slight thought, the diary turned to a brand new blank page.
