Douluo Continent: Shrek Prince, Getting to the Root of the Matter

Xu Sanshi gave a bitter smile.

"Thank you for going easy on me."

Yu Wudao's destructive power was enough to completely destroy the entire Xuanming Shield Formation, but he deliberately left one piece intact.

Xu Sanshi knew that Yu Wudao had done this on purpose, not wanting his martial spirit to shatter and cause him serious injury.

Don't let his current pitiful appearance fool you; he'll actually recover in two or three days. If his martial soul were shattered, he wouldn't be able to get out of bed for at least a month.

"Although this child speaks harshly and acts like a ruthless bandit, could he perhaps be a good person?"

"No need to thank me. If you faint, I'll have to wait at least three days to get the Mystic Water Pill. If you then go home to recuperate, my Mystic Water Pill will be wasted."

"..."

Xu Sanshi silently took out a Xuan Shui Pill from his storage soul tool and threw it over, then complained to Bei Bei with a mournful face:

"Heaven and earth bear witness! How can someone like this have such incredible talent! I'm so jealous!"

Seeing Xu Sanshi's expression, Beibei felt extremely satisfied and could hardly suppress the smile on her lips.

"You can't laugh yet! You can't laugh now!"

However, Beibei underestimated Xu Sanshi's observational skills.

"Beibei, you just laughed, didn't you? You did it on purpose, didn't you?! Huh?! Did you leak the effects of the soul skill you gave me?!"

"I refuse to accept this! I'll fight again in two years when my Black Tortoise awakens!"

"Hahahahaha!"

……

Six years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In these six years, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi have officially enrolled in the Foreign Languages ​​Department, and Bei Bei has also transformed into Tang Ya's form, just like in the original story. The two unfortunate brothers are both in a pitiful state, being manipulated by women.

Yu Wudao couldn't help but sigh, "What a tragic couple!"

However, because of what Moon said back then, Beibei did not slack off as she did in the original story, but old habits die hard.

Even so, Bei Bei's cultivation level is not much higher than in the original work, and she still hasn't reached the Soul King level.

With Bei Bei as a precedent, Xu Sanshi naturally dared not be too complacent. If he were to let Bei Bei take the lead by too much without careful attention, his life would be in trouble.

Unlike the two in the outer courtyard who were struggling and competing with each other, Yu Wudao had a much more comfortable life in the inner courtyard.

In the morning, I studied with Mu En; in the afternoon, I practiced combat with Zhang Lexuan; and in the evening, after taking a medicinal bath, I enjoyed a relaxing cultivation session while hugging a large, chubby pillow.

After six long years of such good days, Yu Wudao didn't want to go to the outer academy anymore, but Mu En still kicked him out.

In Mu En's words, Yu Wudao has already reached the limit he imagined at his current age; what he lacks is theoretical knowledge and experience.

This is the fundamental reason why Moon insisted on sending him to the outer courtyard.

Regardless of theoretical knowledge, becoming a powerful figure standing at the pinnacle of the continent is not something that can be achieved solely through cultivation; experience is also an indispensable part of the process.

Over the course of six years, Yu Wudao was like a sponge that had been dry for decades, frantically absorbing all useful nutrients, almost hollowing out Mu En.

Yu Wudao felt no fatigue whatsoever. Perhaps it was because there was no extraordinary power in his previous world that cultivation held a natural and immense allure for him. He enjoyed every moment of becoming stronger and was obsessed with it.

That's why he was able to reach level 35 in cultivation at the age of twelve!

Moreover, if it weren't for the need to compress soul power and improve quality during the cultivation of the ultimate martial soul from level 30 to 70, Yu Wudao would be fully capable of reaching the Soul Master level now.

Shrek Foreign Languages ​​School

Because it was the day of enrollment, the entire Shrek City became exceptionally lively.

But there is never a shortage of speculators in this world, and such an opportunity will naturally not be missed by them.

Before the admissions office,

A chubby boy with round-framed glasses was carefully scanning his surroundings at the admissions office, looking for his potential clients.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he spotted his target.

The man was wearing a blue jacket over a white fitted shirt, and casually paired with gray curved trousers.

Judging from the style and fabric of his clothes alone, the chubby boy was certain that he was definitely not short of money.

Such people are most likely disciples of some sect or noble family who come to Shrek Academy to study, and Shrek Academy has no shortage of students like this.

He took out a "list" from his storage soul tool and quietly approached.

"Brother, are you a freshman at Shrek Academy this year?"

Upon hearing this, the man turned his head and saw a chubby boy wearing round-framed glasses standing sleazily beside him, holding a stack of booklets with unknown contents.

The chubby boy keenly noticed his gaze.

"Hehe~ Did you notice?"

Brother, let me tell you, this year's Shrek Academy freshmen are something else! They are the strongest golden generation in Shrek Academy's history of hundreds of years!

This booklet is the result of a great deal of effort on my part, compiled from intelligence gathered from various sources across the Three Empires! It lists the fifty strongest new students of Shrek Academy! I call it the Prodigy Ranking!

Three gold soul coins! How about that? Pretty good deal, right?

"The top fifty? The Prodigy Ranking?"

He seemed interested.

He casually took out three gold soul coins from his soul tool and tossed them out. The chubby boy chuckled and caught them steadily, then handed the booklet to the man.

After receiving the list, he quickly flipped through it until he reached the top ten, at which point he slowed down.

Clearly, only at this level could the recorded geniuses pique his interest.

"What kind of ridiculous ranking is this? Putting someone whose information we don't know at all at the top and just writing 'impressive record' doesn't fool anyone!"

The man seemed very dissatisfied after looking at the list and immediately threw it on the ground.

However, the chubby guy was clearly a professional; he calmly picked up the list and dusted it off.

He adjusted his glasses, looking calm, clearly indicating that this wasn't the first time he'd encountered such a situation.
