Peerless Tang Sect: Snow Empress Adopts and Intercepts Jiang Nannan

Chapter 121 Unbelievable Ma Xiaotao

The group walked through the campus of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

The entire campus covers a vast area, and its technological content is far superior to that of Shrek Academy.

The Shrek Academy students disposed of any soul tools whose uses they couldn't understand by leaving them by the roadside.

This is truly like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.

The group looked around curiously.

I wanted to ask, but I was too embarrassed to.

"Is that Ye Xuanxin?"

Zhang Lexuan took the initiative to step forward and ask.

"Yes, ma'am, do you know me?"

Zhang Lexuan has a very distinctive aura, so Ye Xuanxin, who had read the original novel, recognized her long ago, but pretended not to know her.

"Who on the continent doesn't know Ye Xuanxin now?"

"You and Ye Bing'er, who is next to you, worked together to win the championship of the Continental Soul Master Competition not long ago."

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself."

"My name is Zhang Lexuan, and I come from the inner academy of Shrek Academy."

"Oh, I see. Sister Zhang, is there anything I can help you with?"

Zhang Lexuan didn't do anything wrong; she was just looking for an opportunity to get closer to him.

"I saw a lot of soul tools by the roadside, but I don't know what they are for."

"Those are just soul power distribution facilities for supplying the soul guide lamps."

"Soul Power Lamps? You've already started using Soul Guiding Lamps on a large scale?"

Zhang Lexuan was stunned.

Don't underestimate a small soul guide lamp.

It's fine if it's just used by a small family or household.

However, if we want to lay them out on a large scale like streetlights...

That requires a whole set of large-scale supporting facilities. The most difficult part is the storage and transportation of soul power. You can't have someone standing next to the soul guide lamp all the time to provide soul power, can you?

Even Shrek only uses it on a small scale.

Not to mention the entire campus of a school like the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

"That's natural."

"Sister Zhang, the soul guidance technology of the Sun Moon Empire has developed to a level that is unimaginable in the Douluo Three Kingdoms. If we calculate the generational gap, it is at least forty or fifty years ahead."

"Not only in the academy, but throughout the entire Mingdu City, there are countless soul guidance facilities like this."

"."

Zhang Lexuan was silent for a moment.

laughed.

"It seems that this study session was quite necessary."

"If you always stay in your own comfort zone and ignore how advanced the outside world has become, you will only be eliminated by the times."

"That's exactly why the direction led by Soul Guidance Technology is the direction of future development."

"Clinging to outdated ideas and sticking to the old ways, even the mighty Shrek Academy."

"There is no way to stop the Sun and Moon Empire's progress as it did four thousand years ago."

Ye Xuanxin nodded.

His stance can be discerned from just a few words.

Zhang Lexuan's eyes flickered.

"I heard it from Ye's words."

"Are you now siding with the Sun Moon Empire?"

Ye Xuanxin shook her head.

"I will only stand on the side of greater technological advancement."

"I am not a member of the Sun Moon Empire, and I have no need to stand on their side."

"It's just that their ideas happen to align with mine."

As a transmigrator, and a researcher before transmigrating, Ye Xuanxin naturally felt closer to the technological advancements of the Sun and Moon Empire and abhorred the feudal, backward, and xenophobic atmosphere of the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

"Then what makes you think that only the Sun Moon Empire aligns with your ideals? Why can't Shrek Academy do the same?"

"Shrek Academy has now realized the importance of soul tools; otherwise, they wouldn't have established a new soul tool department, nor would they have sent us here."

Zhang Lexuan's tone was very gentle, making people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.

Her eyes were like a pool of spring water.

But what was said was a very serious matter.

"It will probably be several decades before Shrek Academy develops a similar ideology and atmosphere as the Sun Moon Empire."

"It has been around for so long, like an old man who has weathered many storms. You know, old people are always stubborn and conservative."

"Even if we realize it now, making a change is not something that can be achieved in the short term."

"I reckon there was a fierce argument among the elders of the Sea God Pavilion when the Soul Guidance Department was first established at Shrek Academy, right?"

"Once the Soul Guidance Department is established, it is destined to take away the resources of the Martial Soul Department and compete for Martial Soul Department students."

Zhang Lexuan was startled.

I didn't expect Ye Xuanxin to be able to guess this.

As the senior disciple of the inner courtyard, she naturally understood some things very well.

Although Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, and Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department, had some emotional entanglements in their early years, their relationship has become increasingly ugly in recent years due to the establishment of the Soul Guidance Department.

So much so that even Elder Mu had to step in to mediate before things calmed down.

Her gaze fell on Ye Xuanxin's deep eyes, which seemed to see through everything in the world.

And indeed, he was able to see right through her.

"Sister Zhang, I reckon that Elder Xuan and Dean Yan of your academy told you before you left that you should try to get in touch with me as much as possible and try to get me on Shrek Academy's side, right?"

"Otherwise, if Director Lin were here, you wouldn't be so eager to talk to me, right?"

Zhang Lexuan was startled again.

He smiled wryly.

"No wonder Elder Xuan and Elder Yan speak so highly of you."

"It turns out it wasn't just because of talent."

"Your quick wit and intelligence are not something that ordinary people possess."

Ye Xuanxin ignored her praise; he'd heard it so many times that he was no longer bothered by it.

"Sister Zhang, there's no need to waste your time. You can't change my mind."

"No one can force me to change my mind."

"The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is the most suitable place for me."

"Of course, I'll also visit Shrek Academy."

"The timing is uncertain, it might be in the next few years."

"Sister Zhang, judging from the way your students look, you must hold a fairly high position within Shrek Academy, right?"

"Shouldn't you also be in charge of Shrek Academy students' affairs on the Sun Moon side?"

"Then I must give you some advice."

"I know that when you set off, your elders instructed you to gather as much intelligence and secrets about the Sun Moon Empire as possible."

"I must advise you not to do anything out of line."

"If things get ugly between the two sides, it will be difficult to resolve."

"."

Ye Xuanxin smiled, shook her head, and walked away.

The last few sentences are probably nonsense.

In the original story, Huo Yuhao was able to successfully steal so much important information entirely because of the interference of the Body Sect and his protagonist halo.

If these Shrek Academy students want to steal it now, they will all die.

"Senior Sister, what's wrong?"

"Stunned?"

"Did that kid say something offensive?"

Ma Xiaotao approached Zhang Lexuan, half angry and half nervous, and asked.

"No."

"I just suddenly found him terrifying."

Zhang Lexuan shook her head.

A look of horror flashed in his eyes.

Leaving aside talent, ability, and family background.

This kid is no more than twelve or thirteen years old.

When talking to him, even though he could remain calm in front of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion all year round, he was completely suppressed and led by the nose.

In the verbal exchange alone, she was completely outmatched.

Not only did they fail to achieve their goal, but they were also seen through and even received a warning to their face.

"Terrifying? He is indeed very strong, but surely not to the point that Senior Sister finds him terrifying?"

Ma Xiaotao was puzzled.

"It's not about how formidable they are in terms of strength."

"It's not about wisdom."

"Even without extraordinary talent, such a person would definitely be a formidable opponent if they stood on the opposite side of Shrek Academy."

"."

"Senior Sister, is it really necessary?"

"Isn't this giving him too much prestige and diminishing our own morale?"

Ma Xiaotao pouted.

Her full body pressed against Zhang Lexuan's.

It's like she's trying to act cute with an older sister she's known since childhood.

Given Ma Xiaotao's fiery temper, only Zhang Lexuan, the senior sister whose strength and personality are beyond doubt, could elicit such an attitude from her.

"It's really that serious."

"Xiao Tao, with your talent, you are destined to join the Sea God Pavilion in the future."

"Don't underestimate him."

"."

Ma Xiaotao looked confused.

"Forget it, it's too early to talk about that now."

"By the way, Xiao Tao, have you been experiencing any recurrence of your 'heat' in the past few months?"

"How is it? Has the situation improved?"

"I've recovered from the injury I sustained in the last match, and there hasn't been a recurrence in all these days."

"But in the last few days, they've started to get restless again."

"Then you need to be careful. I'll remind Luo Chen these next few days. Her martial soul is ice, which can help you suppress it to some extent."

"Fortunately, Luo Chen came along this time, otherwise your problem with the evil fire would have been difficult to handle."

Zhang Lexuan said with relief.

Ma Xiaotao looked dejected.

To be honest, she really didn't want to trouble Ling Luochen.

She disliked his cold and arrogant demeanor. He, in turn, looked down on her.

Moreover, the suppression effect was not good; the difference in attribute quality between Ling Luochen's Ice Martial Soul and her Evil Fire Phoenix was too great.

Thinking this, Ma Xiaotao's gaze fell on Ye Xuanxin's back.

Last time, he was knocked to the ground by Ye Xuanxin's ice spear, and the cold air entered his body.

He was able to suppress her evil fire for more than two months.

She didn't know what Ye Xuanxin's second martial soul was, only assuming it was the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion with extreme ice attributes.

If it were the ultimate ice, it would definitely be able to suppress her evil fire.

But how could she possibly feel even the slightest bit of goodwill towards Ye Xuanxin? She might as well seek help from Ling Luochen.

At least Ling Luochen is a member of Shrek Academy, while Ye Xuanxin is an enemy.

Meanwhile, the group arrived at the corridor of the first-grade teaching building, at the door of a classroom with a sign that read "Physical Testing Room".

Lin Jiayi opened the classroom door.

"Please come in, everyone."

"This is our college's physical testing room."

"Our students participate in routine physical tests every year, so there's no need for you to worry."

Lin Jiayi invited everyone inside.

The room is not large, probably only a hundred square meters.

However, there are many large soul tools inside, and the fluctuations in soul power are quite significant.

This made Shrek and his group somewhat uneasy.

Standing there, at a loss.

Lin Jiayi smiled when he saw this.

"Don't worry, these instruments will not harm the human body."

"However, all metal objects must be removed from your body during the test, otherwise the test results will be inaccurate."

"Everyone can temporarily store their soul tools and metal items."

"So, who wants to go first?"

"."

No one answered.

The Shrek Academy members all turned their attention to their senior sister, Zhang Lexuan.

Zhang Lexuan frowned.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's actions on the first day were clearly purposeful.

So-called physical tests, but aren't they actually just collecting their physical data?

No one answered, but Lin Jiayi didn't feel embarrassed.

"Since no one else is coming, why don't you go first, Xuanxin?"

"I remember you didn't take the physical fitness test when you enrolled this year, right?"

"Ye Bing'er can attend if she wants."

Hyotei remained unmoved; if she went up there, she wouldn't be able to control her strength—too much or too little wouldn't be appropriate.

"I'll do it."

Ye Xuanxin stepped forward and handed over all the metal she had to Bingdi.

"it is good."

Lin Jiayi nodded.

They led Ye Xuanxin to a cylindrical soul tool.

"Just put your hand on it."

"Relax a little."

Ye Xuanxin placed her hand on it.

As Lin Jiayi operated, a beam of white light slowly scanned Ye Xuanxin's body.

Wait for the white light scan to complete.

Lin Jiayi glanced at the result.

He showed a look of horror.

"Physical strength level 78, physical resilience level 71, soul power fluctuation level 45, height 1.73 meters, weight 63 kilograms. No soul bone attachment."

Overall Assessment

"Data is corrupted and cannot be calculated?"

"Xuanxin, what are you doing?"

"Director Lin, my family is wealthy, and we have no shortage of all kinds of medicinal herbs for improving one's health."

Ye Xuanxin smiled.

"Well"

"Well, you really are a monster."

Ye Xuanxin clicked her tongue. No other lines, huh?

"No, please don't say that. They are the monsters, not me."

"Please don't slap Shrek in the face."

He pointed to the Shrek team.

The Shrek members exchanged ambiguous glances, clearly not understanding what they were saying.

They didn't know what those numbers meant; they just thought they sounded very impressive.

"Alright, everyone, it really is just a routine check."

"It's your turn!"

Zhang Lexuan nodded gently.

That's why Shrek Academy students went up to take the test.

"."

"That sounds intimidating."

"How could someone at level 40-something possibly have the physical attributes of a level 70?"

"I have no idea what the judging criteria are for this damn machine?"

"If we calculate it the way he does."

"Even if our talent isn't as good as Ye Xuanxin's, at the same level of four rings, our physical attributes should be at least around level sixty, right?"

Ma Xiaotao pouted unhappily.

"The teachers at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy are truly ignorant."

"Are there any weak students among our Shrek Academy students?"

"We'll scare him half to death."

But the next moment, she was the one who was completely shocked.

The first person to go up was Dai Yueheng.

Also a four-ring Soul Master.

But the physical test results were quite unexpected.

"Physical strength level 45, physical resilience level 38, soul power fluctuation level 44, height 1.89 meters, weight 86 kilograms. Left arm bone soul bone attachment."

Overall rating: Soul Master; Physical strength: Soul Master; Physical power: To be determined.

"How...how is this possible?"

"Dai Yueheng only has a physical strength of level 45?"

"Then why does Ye Xuanxin possess a physical strength of level seventy-eight?"

"This is not scientifically sound!"

"Ye Xuanxin is a genius! More talented than all of us, but he can't be this much worse, can he?"

Ma Xiaotao's eyes widened in disbelief.
