Douluo Continent: I possess astonishing wisdom as I control energy!

It wasn't serious, just venting my anger.

Finally, she sat back down in her previous spot, crossed her legs slightly, and said with a cold snort, arms crossed, "Are you still going to take the test or not? If not, don't bother me, I'm going to play games!"

Hmm. Judging from that tone, Hyotei has probably lost their guard.

Kong Ming quickly made a judgment in his heart, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

Smiling at Hyotei, Kongming'an's gaze softened, and he slowly said, "Don't rush, I'll test you now."

Stepping forward, Kong Ming'an placed Hyotei's raised little feet aside, then took Hyotei's hand, his palm radiating faint fluctuations of soul power and spiritual energy, and began to carefully examine Hyotei's physical condition after her transformation.

The test was completed quickly.

Just as Kong Ming'an had predicted, Hyotei's transformation was perfect, without any hidden dangers.

Releasing Hyotei's hand, Kong Ming'an said, "Let me see the spirit rings."

Hyotei nodded, casually raising his hand. In an instant, nine spirit rings rose from beneath his feet, arranged in a configuration of five black and four red.

A powerful aura spread out, and without a doubt, the Ice Emperor's cultivation level was also a level 99 Limit Douluo.

Feeling the powerful force coursing through his body, yet moving with effortless ease, Hyotei's eyes involuntarily flashed with excitement.

Compared to the body of a soul beast, the human body offers less restriction in the use of soul power.

Of course, most importantly, the feeling of being locked in by the heavenly tribulation that had haunted her for years, like a sword hanging over her head, had completely disappeared.

This feeling of freedom and ease made her understand why Xue Di had remained in human form almost entirely after mastering transformation.

Ice Emperor pursed her lips, a vague premonition rising in her heart. If this perfect transformation technique were to spread, the entire landscape of the Soul Beast World would likely undergo earth-shattering changes.

It's unknown how many soul beasts stuck at a bottleneck or fearing heavenly tribulations will choose to walk this path, transform into humans, and then integrate into human society. Whether this is a blessing or a curse remains to be seen.

A slight sigh crossed his mind, but the thought was fleeting. Hyotei pursed his lips and didn't dwell on it.

Although it may sound selfish, what does the fate of other soul beasts have to do with her?

In any case, this guy will keep his promise to the Snow Empress and protect the far north and all its creatures.

She would rather keep her hometown and people safe and sound than care about any other places that were turned upside down.

Thinking of this, Hyotei's expression became somewhat complicated again. This guy seemed to have always taken his promise to Yuki-tei very seriously.

Looking at the boy in front of her, a strange feeling of bitterness and irritation welled up inside her. She was very unhappy.

However, she didn't know whether she was annoyed by Xue Di or by the guy in front of her.

Hyotei's thoughts were extremely conflicted.

Kong Ming'an, who had been observing the Ice Emperor's spirit rings for a moment, withdrew his gaze and slowly said:

"The 'Soul Points' system is progressing smoothly, and energy is being collected as planned."

"Once the universal cultivation method for the 'Star Ring' is perfected, you will be able to condense your own 'Star Ring'. At that time, the energy collected by the Chamber of Commerce will be prioritized for your cultivation, allowing you to quickly complete the first two rings of the 'Star Ring'."

"Understood," Hyotei replied.

Kong Ming'an nodded and continued, "Then after a while, you can switch places with the Snow Empress."

"The Snow Empress's four 'Star Rings' are now complete, and the energy required for the rest is too enormous. There is currently no energy source available, so she can return to protect me again."

"And you can return to the far north to cultivate in seclusion, while I can continue to use the Snow Empress as a template to deduce the possible future paths of the 'Star Ring'."

"no!"

Before he could finish speaking, Hyotei interrupted him decisively.

Kong Ming'an looked at her in confusion, but saw that Hyotei paused slightly, then gritted her teeth and said in an unusually firm tone: "I want to be with Yuki-tei!"

"But this might significantly reduce your cultivation efficiency."

"I don't care!" Hyotei snorted coldly, turning her face away, but her voice carried an undeniable stubbornness.

"Wherever the Snow Empress is, that's where I'll be! Since the Snow Empress wants to stay by your side, then naturally I'll stay by your side too!"

Kong Ming'an looked at her silently for a few seconds, and finally nodded with a hint of helplessness:

"Fine. Whatever you say."

Seeing Kong Ming'an agree, Hyotei gave a soft hum, turned her head, and struck a victorious pose. Kong Ming'an did not notice that in the instant she turned around, her slender hand unconsciously tightened its grip on the hem of her skirt.

Kong Ming'an, standing to the side, was multitasking. Half of his attention was focused on the "Ling Shu Network" to record Hyotei's data, while the other half was lost in thought.

Kong Ming'an wasn't too opposed to Hyotei's desire to stay, after all, there wasn't much difference between having one person by your side and having two.

Moreover, with Yuki-tei present, Hyo-tei might be more obedient and well-behaved, at least not as prone to outbursts and violence as he is now. This adds another layer of protection for his safety.

The only problem is his bi-weekly contract with Zhang Lexuan.

Hyotei wouldn't see the problem, and even if she did, given her personality, she'd probably be too lazy to think about it and forget about it after a while.

But if it's Xue Di...

It'll be discovered, won't it? It's bound to be discovered, right?

What should we do then?

Let me briefly digress a bit about the plot. Currently, I'm brainstorming ideas related to "weapon cultivation" and "artificial martial souls," and my mind is a little scattered, so the plot for the next few days probably won't have much theoretical groundwork; it'll mostly be a bit of absurdity. Also, I'm brainstorming ideas about the protagonist's attempt to take Tang San's godhood (here's an interesting point: in a sense, Xiao Wu is an appendage of the Asura God's godhood. If the protagonist steals the Asura God's godhood, could he also steal Xiao Wu? And what if he takes Xiao Wu's godhood right in front of Tang San? Why am I having such a dream? Staying up too much has definitely made my brain weird).

Chapter 121 Tang Ya: This thief who stole the Tang Clan's secret techniques!

Shrek Academy, outer courtyard.

The sun is shining brightly today, and the warm sunshine feels wonderful and comfortable on my skin.

At this moment, on a tree-lined path, two strikingly beautiful young women were walking briskly, hand in hand.

One of the girls had long, golden hair, fluffy rabbit ears, a tall figure, and long, slender legs.

The other girl, though slightly less tall than the first, had a bright and relaxed smile on her face, making her equally eye-catching.

It was Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya.

Although they were contractual employees of the Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce, they spent a lot of time working for their guild leader at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, handling various matters related to the Blue Silver Immortal Herb cultivation base.

But this doesn't stop them from continuing to act as "undercover agents" within Shrek Academy.

There was no other way; the Chamber of Commerce had given them just too much!

Working two jobs and getting paid three times the salary—who could refuse such a deal?

Furthermore, with the guild leader's approval, they also possess a certain share of immortal herbs, which they can use to aid their cultivation.

With their respective shifts to the "Dharma Cultivation - Imprinting School" and "Body Cultivation" paths, their cultivation levels improved rapidly, and their actual combat strength also increased exceptionally quickly.

Thanks to their outstanding talent, they quickly rose to fame in the outer academy and became core disciples of Shrek Academy, making their entry into the inner academy virtually guaranteed.

And precisely because of this, their undercover work subsidies were also quite substantial, which greatly increased their enthusiasm.

And now, they are going to "make contact".

"We're going to be late, Nan Nan! Let's hurry! We're picking up the newlyweds today!"

Tang Ya pulled Jiang Nannan along quickly, her face showing some anxiety.

Jiang Nannan's face showed a hint of helplessness, but she let Tang Ya pull her along.

"No need to rush, Xiaoya." She slightly shifted her gaze, connected her consciousness to the "Ling Shu Network," glanced at the built-in navigation map, and then said, "The restaurant we agreed to meet is just ahead, turn right, we're almost there."

As Jiang Nannan was speaking, Tang Ya had already pulled her to their destination.

This is a quiet restaurant within the college grounds. Following their reservation, the two arrived at a quiet booth by the window.

And here, a boy with short blue hair and clear eyes was already sitting.

Upon seeing the two women, the young man immediately stood up and bowed, his tone respectful: "Team Leader Tang, Team Leader Jiang."

Tang Ya waved her hand casually and spoke in a very familiar manner:

"You don't need to use titles here, just call me senior."

"Uh, yes, Senior Tang Ya, Senior Jiang Nannan."

The young man, or rather Huo Yuhao, nodded. After a brief conversation and confirming each other's identities, the group added each other as friends on the "Ling Shu Network."

This completed the initial contact with the undercover agent. However, perhaps because it was his first time making an "undercover contact," Huo Yuhao was still a little nervous.

"Don't be nervous. Being an undercover agent isn't so shameful at Shrek Academy. You know, a third of the top students at Shrek Academy are currently under contract with the Chamber of Commerce."

Shrek knew about this, but he couldn't do anything about it and was forced to acquiesce.

"So don't worry too much about getting caught or anything, otherwise why do you think I would have directly asked you to come out and meet me? Now just relax and wait for me."

Tang Ya said with a light laugh,

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao felt somewhat relieved, but upon hearing the last sentence, he couldn't help but feel a little doubtful:

"Are we waiting for someone?"

Tang Ya smiled slightly: "Like you, I'm a newcomer who just joined us."

A moment later, just before the originally agreed meeting time, a petite young woman appeared at the restaurant entrance.

She had long black hair, which she styled into a neat side ponytail. Her eyes were emerald green, clear and seemingly brimming with vitality.

The girl's appearance might not be considered exceptionally beautiful, but her demeanor was remarkably pure. She wore the white uniform of a first-year student at Shrek Academy, and beneath her short skirt were a pair of fair, jade-like legs. She seemed somewhat uneasy.

She glanced around, and upon seeing Tang Ya and the others, a hint of nervousness appeared on her face. She quickly walked over and bowed respectfully to them.

"Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Xiao, a new member of the Chamber of Commerce. Please take good care of me in the future."

Tang Ya's eyes lit up slightly. Unable to resist a cute girl, she reached out and affectionately pulled Xiao Xiao to sit beside her, smiling as she spoke:

"Oh, no need to be so polite. I checked, Xiao Xiao, your access level is only slightly lower than mine."

"Besides, I heard that the president specifically mentioned you and included you in the key training program, so you must be incredibly talented! If you ever need anything, just call me, I'll protect you!"

Xiao Xiao was a little overwhelmed by Tang Ya's enthusiasm. She blinked her beautiful emerald green eyes, unsure of what to say, and could only nod with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"I understand, Senior Tang Ya."

"Call me Sister Ya Ya."

“It’s Sister Ya Ya.” Xiao Xiao replied obediently.

Once everyone was present, Tang Ya, as the "senior," began to explain the various things to be aware of as a Chamber of Commerce infiltrator within Shrek Academy.

After giving a general overview, she sent the detailed information she had compiled to Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao's accounts via the "Ling Shu Network".

Huo Yuhao was carefully flipping through the documents when suddenly, a huge commotion erupted outside the restaurant.

He subconsciously activated the "Mental Detection" soul skill he had gained through "Imprinting," and invisible perceptual ripples spread out, instantly making the commotion in the distance clear to him.

At the center of the riot were two students locked in a fierce fight; judging from their clothing, they were probably first-year students like him.

One of them had an ordinary appearance, but the martial spirit he held in his hand, after being compared with the martial spirit encyclopedia built into the "Ling Shu Network," could be identified as the rare "Haotian Hammer."

And the other person.

Huo Yuhao paused slightly, a flash of hatred suddenly appearing in his eyes.

The blond boy who was being suppressed and whose face was already bleeding was none other than Dai Huabin, one of his targets when he entered Shrek Academy!

However, just as Huo Yuhao was fully focused on the battle in the distance, he suddenly sensed something was amiss.

He turned his head and saw that Tang Ya, who had been excitedly pulling Xiao Xiao along to recommend the "President's Gossip Club," now had no smile left on her face.

Her gaze followed the built-in detection function of the "Spiritual Pivot Network," locking onto the figure wielding the Clear Sky Hammer at the center of the commotion, her eyes chillingly cold.

Tang Ya, who had been calm, now spoke with undisguised disgust:

"This guy is a thief who stole my Tang Clan's secret techniques!"

Chapter 122 The Visitor from Outside

The specific details of Tang San's public beating of Dai Huabin can be traced back to a few days ago.

A few days ago, Tang San was beaten like a dead dog by Dai Huabin and his guards, but thanks to his body, which had been modified by a trace of Asura God's divine power, Tang San quickly recovered.

Subsequently, Tang San was fortunate enough to successfully register at Shrek Academy before the final registration deadline, becoming a proud Shrek student.

Just as Tang San came out of the dormitory, heading to the cafeteria for lunch, he happened to bump into Dai Huabin, who was alone and without any guards.

In an instant, a long-suppressed rage erupted like a volcano, rushing straight to Tang San's head and instantly engulfing what little reason he had left.
