Li Luochen got up and put on his clothes. Dugu Yan was still asleep, likely exhausted from the previous night. Li Luochen quietly tucked the blanket around her and then left the room.

After the door closed, Dugu Yan opened her eyes, a fangirl-like smile spreading across her face.

"Hehehe, finally, we've reached this stage. Ouch! My lower back… Is he the beast-type soul master or am I? Wasn't it said that weapon-type soul masters have weaker physical bodies than beast-types? Whoever said that was completely wrong—utter nonsense.

But still, a horny Chen is just too cute. At first, when he didn't seem to make a move, I even thought about slipping him some aphrodisiacs. Hehe, looks like I didn't need to. But wait, could this mean I might already be pregnant?

No, no, that can't happen right now. I'm only seventeen—I can't have a big belly yet. Otherwise, Chen won't be able to take me out to play. Let's wait a few more years. After all, both Chen and I will become Title Douluos someday, and we'll have plenty of time.

We can have kids after we've had enough fun. Right now, kids would just be too much trouble. And what if we have a daughter? Wouldn't she end up competing with me for Chen? No, no, that absolutely cannot happen. Chen is mine—he can't be taken away right now."

Dugu Yan circulated her soul power, expelling the "milk" from her body to prevent it from reaching critical areas.

After finishing this, she got out of bed. As soon as her feet touched the ground, her legs wobbled, nearly causing her to lose balance. She quickly used her soul power to recover.

Once her legs felt better, Dugu Yan changed the bedsheets—it was quite a mess after all.

Looking at the sheets, Dugu Yan's face turned bright red again. "This… couldn't all of this really be mine, could it? Am I really that sensitive? It's like a flood!"

Shaking off the thought, Dugu Yan rummaged through the cabinet for a fresh set of sheets, replaced them, and then covered herself with a new blanket to rest. After all, she'd been through a lot and needed proper rest.

Not long after, the sound of steady breathing filled the room as Dugu Yan drifted off into dreamland, a smile still lingering on her lips—and even a bit of drool escaping.

Meanwhile,

After leaving his room, Li Luochen decided to take a stroll outside. He noticed the lights in the cafeteria were still on and decided to check it out.

Upon entering, he found two people training inside.

It was none other than Oscar and Ma Hongjun. Their relationship was extraordinary—better than in the original timeline. Oscar was continuously releasing his spirit and using his spirit skills near the kitchen area.

The cafeteria kitchen served as a natural and common mimicry environment for food-based spirit masters. Training here was twice as effective for Oscar.

Ma Hongjun, on the other hand, sat cross-legged by the stove. The area was rich in fire attributes, making it a half-mimicry training room that suited his cultivation needs far better than his own room.

Both were deeply immersed in their training and hadn't noticed Li Luochen's arrival.

"Haha, looks like you two little brothers are doing well. You've listened to my advice and are working hard. In the future, there will be two more extremely powerful Title Douluos among us."

Li Luochen crossed his arms, smiling as he looked at his two younger brothers.

His voice immediately woke the two from their training. Since they were merely accumulating soul power and not breaking through a bottleneck, being interrupted wasn't an issue—as long as it wasn't done in a frightening manner.

"Big Brother Chen? What are you doing here?"

"Hehe, Big Brother Chen came to check on our training, right? Xiao Ao and I have been working really hard."

Oscar and Ma Hongjun also snapped out of their trance. Seeing Li Luochen's approving smile, they felt reassured. After all, Li Luochen was one of their mentors, especially since their age gap wasn't too large.

Li Luochen was not only their senior but also their teacher and older brother. His help to the two of them had been immense.

When teaching, Li Luochen was particularly meticulous, thoroughly enjoying the joy of imparting knowledge. Fortunately, Ma Hongjun and Oscar were obedient students who listened attentively, making teaching them a pleasant experience.

If they had been difficult students, Li Luochen might have experienced the same occupational hazard as his former-world teachers—liver pain from frustration.

Because Li Luochen was the one educating them, he didn't just teach them about soul mastery but also about life lessons, instilling the right values in them from a young age.

Though Li Luochen wasn't entirely sure if his own values were correct, he did his best to guide the two boys using the best template he could think of. As a result, Oscar and Ma Hongjun became model students in this foreign world.

This was also why the two of them couldn't get along with Dai Mubai. Initially, Dai Mubai, seeing their talent, had wanted to befriend them to gain allies for his quest to seize the throne.

He spent a lot of money trying to build rapport, but Oscar and Ma Hongjun preferred to focus on their cultivation. Their first lesson had been that soul masters must prioritize strength—if you lack power, you can't protect what you cherish.

Even your true love could be taken away from you. To drive this point home, Li Luochen had even shared stories from his original world, such as the tale of the White Snake, adapting them into the context of the Douluo Continent.

This made the two boys train even harder, as they didn't want to find themselves powerless to protect what they held dear.

Secondly, Li Luochen taught them that strength was meant to protect—oneself and loved ones—and not to act recklessly or oppress others. True strength was about challenging those stronger than yourself, while weakness was about venting on those weaker. Of course, nothing was absolute; how they used their power depended on the righteousness of their hearts.

Li Luochen himself admittedly couldn't always live up to this ideal. If he could, he wouldn't have bowed to the Spirit Hall. He preferred to bide his time and strike in overwhelming situations. However, his values were already set, and it was crucial to instill righteous values in the two boys.

This was also why Oscar and Ma Hongjun looked down on Dai Mubai. Dai Mubai often relied on his strength to bully others, even getting into fights with other patrons in brothels over women.

That alone was bad enough, but Dai Mubai had also tried to drag them into such places, clearly intending to corrupt them. This infuriated Oscar and Ma Hongjun, who thought, "You do your own thing, but don't try to drag us down with you!"

They beat Dai Mubai so badly that he couldn't get out of bed for three days. The incident even reached Zhao Wuji, but after hearing about it, he simply left without comment.

In truth, Oscar and Ma Hongjun had somewhat misjudged Dai Mubai. Dai Mubai's original intention had been to use these outings to build rapport and strengthen their relationships. Instead, he ended up getting beaten up.

This was the result of Li Luochen instilling strong moral values in Oscar and Ma Hong Jun. They had become upright and virtuous youths who despised evil, which was why they looked down on Dai Mubai from head to toe.

A top-tier beast-type battle soul master with nine levels of innate soul power and twenty-eight levels of soul power—how could someone with such incredible talent fall into debauchery? It was such a waste.

"You two little rascals, you need to balance work and rest in your training. Don't push yourselves too hard, or you might end up going astray. Come on, let's head outside, and I'll test you two."

Li Luochen smiled as he spoke, leading the way to Shrek Academy's independent sparring arena. The two youngsters followed closely behind.

They loved receiving guidance from Li Luochen because it helped them quickly identify their weaknesses.
