Why Isn't This How We Agreed?

Xiao Xue reluctantly agreed with the point: "But you can't force a girl, can you? She's already breaking up with him, yet he's still clinging to her!"

Continuing this topic wouldn't be very productive. Besides, they'd already broken up. Xiao Yan advised, "Alright Xiao Xue, this Ma Hongjun's situation is a bit special. Miss Cuihua might be like a lifeline to him."

Dai Mubai coughed awkwardly and nodded, "Xiao Yan's right. Fatty's been dumped a few times. He finally found a girlfriend again this time, so he's bound to be a bit worked up."

Xiao Yan thought to himself: This method might work to some extent, but it's only a temporary fix. If he keeps cultivating like this, no matter how many girlfriends this little fatty finds, it probably won't help.

Ma Hongjun glared at Dai Mubai, "If I had a face like yours and Oscar's, able to date multiple girls at once, why would I be like this? Don't flatter yourself; I know you're going on three dates a day with different girls."

Dai Mubai hurriedly looked behind him, as if afraid of being discovered. He lowered his voice, "Fatty, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't just say whatever you want. Keep your voice down."

"Are those even dates?" Xiao Xue facepalmed. This monster academy…let's just hope it gets destroyed today.

Ma Hongjun looked at Dai Mubai with a strange expression. "Dai, have you taken the wrong medicine today? Aren't you usually shameless and proud of it?"

Dai Mubai glared at him. "Stop talking nonsense. Some things shouldn't be said carelessly. If you ruin my reputation again, don't blame me for being unfriendly to you."

Is the appeal of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill really that great? Can it turn a playboy around in just one day?

With a doubt in his heart, Xiao Yan asked, "When do we start classes?"

After solving the problem with that evil academy today, he planned to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to find a few Soul Beasts and absorb their Soul Rings to improve his Inner Strength.

"We should have told you this yesterday, but after the test, you didn't return to the academy. I believe the other students have already gathered. Let's go over there quickly."

The group arrived at the academy's training ground. It was just a large empty space.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were already standing there, looking like they'd been there for a while.

Seeing Xiao Yan and the other two appear, the two girls turned their gazes towards them. Xiao Yan's self-created techniques were truly amazing.

I wonder if there's been any new progress after half a day and a night?

Ma Hongjun's eyes were fixed on the two girls. Both were rare beauties: one with a figure ridiculously curvy, the other with an elegant air. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva without any attempt to hide it.

Dai Mubai elbowed him, whispering, "Behave yourself. You'd better suppress your evil fire."

Ma Hongjun looked at Dai Mubai with a look of disbelief. "No way, Dai-laoda! Are you going to make a move again? I mean, Dai-laoda, even if you're the boss, you should at least leave some scraps for your brothers."

Dai Mubai raised his hand to nudge him again, glancing at Zhu Zhuqing. Zhu Zhuqing didn't seem to notice them, still standing there with a cold demeanor, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

The way women build friendships is always strange. Sometimes, a single piece of clothing or jewelry can lead to conversations about things that will happen decades later.

This process is almost impossible for men to understand.

Xiao Xue had already joined Ning Rongrong and was talking to her with a smile.

From Ning Rongrong's strange look up at Ma Hongjun, Xiao Yan knew that Xiao Xue had probably told her about Ma Hongjun's peculiar Martial Soul.

Dai Mubai coughed and said, "Oscar is still sleeping in. He's always so lazy. Aside from Oscar, I think everyone else is here. We'll be living and studying together for a while, so let's get to know each other.

Let me introduce you. This fat guy is another student from our academy. His name is Ma Hongjun, and his Martial Soul is grass... oh, no, it's Phoenix."

When the word "Phoenix" was uttered, Zhu Zhuqing looked up, but only glanced at Ma Hongjun.

Just then, Oscar walked over.

However, his appearance had changed drastically.

Looking at Oscar's somewhat familiar clothes, Xiao Yan said, "That looks like the sausage seller from yesterday? He just shaved his beard."

"This is the last of our academy's three students, Oscar," Dai Mubai introduced. "You might have seen him yesterday. He was the one selling sausages.

Because of his special Martial Soul, his hair grew very thick, which might make him look a bit older. However, after shaving his beard, he still looked quite young. Right, he's only fourteen years old."

Oscar chuckled, scratching his head. "Aren't there some new beauties here? If I don't make an effort to look sharp, how will they notice me?"

Fourteen years old?

Xiao Yan's pupils narrowed slightly, and he immediately checked Oscar's soul power level.

"Level twenty-nine. Judging by the depth of his soul power, he's close to breaking through to level thirty. The original three students of Shrek Academy are really something; without exception, they're all geniuses."

After seeing the three students from Shrek Academy, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

Was it possible that, although Shrek Academy was a bit unorthodox, they had special methods? Could they have gathered so many geniuses just by luck?

One could be considered lucky, and two could be barely considered lucky, but when you added the academy's three original students, plus Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, that made five geniuses. It seemed difficult to explain this away with luck.

Standing there, Xiao Yan thought for a long while, but still couldn't figure out how Shrek Academy had managed to recruit all these geniuses.

Xiao Yan didn't make things difficult for himself, shaking his head. "Forget it, I'll just grab the teachers and the headmaster later and ask them."

Sensing a powerful aura appearing nearby, Xiao Yan accelerated the flow of his Inner Strength, preparing to take action.

He didn't have to wait long. A middle-aged man walked over from the other side of the training ground.

The newcomer was around fifty years old. Xiao Yan and the others were very familiar with this person – the unscrupulous merchant.

Xiao Xue returned to Xiao Yan's side and whispered, "I didn't expect this merchant to actually be a teacher at Shrek Academy. No wonder he was sleeping while doing business. He's probably already made a fortune from scamming people out of their registration fees."

Xiao Yan nodded in agreement.

He had previously seen a Soul Saint opening a shop and thought he was a "hidden master" type, uninterested in making money.

Now it seemed that he had long since made a killing. The money from the shop was simply insignificant to him.

"What are you two whispering about?" Oscar asked from the side.

Xiao Yan smiled, "Nothing much. Is this uncle also a teacher at the academy? Are we going to see all the teachers at the academy today?"

Oscar explained, "This is our headmaster, the founder of Shrek Academy, Flender. He's a Soul Saint at level seventy-eight, even stronger than Teacher Zhao. He possesses an extremely rare flying-type Martial Soul."

"As for the other teachers? It's probably unlikely you'll see them. Our academy's schedule is quite scattered. You'll understand once you've been here a while."

Xiao Xue winked at Xiao Yan: This isn't what we agreed on? Didn't they say all the teachers would be here on the first day of school?

Xiao Yan shrugged, he didn't know either.

Noting Soul Skill Master Academy was like this, and had been for six years. He'd also heard that most intermediate Soul Master Academies were similar.

Now it seemed, Shrek Academy was truly strange.

Xiao Xue gestured with her eyes: What do we do now?

Xiao Yan held Xiao Xue's hand and quickly wrote a few words in her palm – Wait and see.

If they couldn't see all the teachers at once, there was a risk of leaving loose ends.

Leaving a teacher from Shrek Academy behind, I wonder what kind of negative impact that would have?

This goes against his original intention of 'eliminating an academy that harms young Soul Masters'.

Furthermore, he had a mystery in his heart: why could such a dilapidated academy gather so many geniuses?

If he couldn't figure this out, just wiping out Shrek Academy directly would be too frustrating.

Flender walked in front of the seven students, stopped, and said in his raspy voice, "This year is very good, we have five more little monsters. I, Flender, the Dean of Shrek Academy, welcome you on behalf of the academy. Later, each of you needs to hand over one hundred gold coins to Teacher Li, who is in charge of finances. Mubai."

"Dean." Dai Mubai stepped forward, seemingly very respectful of Flender, even with a hint of admiration.

Flender said, "Five more junior brothers and sisters have arrived, you can tell them the rules of the academy later. Then, everyone go back and rest, and try to restore your condition to its best. The first class of the day will start in the evening.

Xiao Yan, Oscar, and Ning Rongrong, you three are exceptions, stay here for a moment."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't rush to leave. Instead, her eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan. She was quite curious, wondering if he would display even more strange abilities during the upcoming training.

Ma Hongjun also didn't hurry to leave. He'd heard that this Xiao Yan was a formidable food-系 Soul Master. After witnessing today's fight, he indeed felt that Xiao Yan was quite powerful. He wondered what his Soul Skills were.

Looking at Xiao Yan, dressed in black robes, Flender asked with some doubt, "Xiao Yan, are you really a food-系 Blue Silver Grass Soul Master?"

This kid was simply too monstrous, a true freak! Twenty-six levels, and a food-系 Soul Master at that, had even made Old Zhao question his life choices.

Xiao Yan sighed. Why did no one believe he was a food-系 Soul Master?

Blue light surged, first creating two fake hundred-year-level Soul Rings for himself.

Xiao Yan extended his right hand, and the first and second Soul Rings on his body flashed in succession.

"First Soul Skill: Blue Silver Recovery Pill."

'Second Soul Skill: Blue Silver Exploding Candy.'

As two yellow lights flashed, two blue-and-gold, hair-like tendrils rapidly coiled within his palm.

With his ability to multitask, making two different Blue Silver Emperor foods at the same time wasn't difficult for Xiao Yan.

As the Blue Silver Emperor vines continuously coiled, they quickly formed two items about the size of candy beans.

The candy beans shimmered with a blue-gold light, and their surfaces instantly became much smoother. Blue-gold patterns intertwined across them, making them look incredibly tempting.

Watching Xiao Yan use his soul skills and create what looked like food, Flender's eyes widened. "Are you really a food-type Soul Master?"

Picking up the two similarly sized items, Flender examined them closely.

Looking at them, Flender asked Xiao Yan, "Which one is the Blue Silver Recovery Pill, and which is the Blue Silver Exploding Candy? What are their effects?"

Xiao Yan, calmly waiting to take down the Shrek Academy's headmaster and teachers, explained, "The smaller one is the Blue Silver Recovery Pill. It can restore a Soul Master's soul power, and it works well for Great Soul Masters.

As for the bigger one, it's the Blue Silver Exploding Candy..."

Watching Flender constantly fiddling with the Blue Silver Emperor food he'd made, Xiao Yan knew there was no need for further explanation and took two steps back.

Boom!

Everyone, except Xiao Yan, was stunned.

This is food?

Seeing the teacher's glasses shattered, a scene that felt eerily familiar, Ma Hongjun barely suppressed his laughter.

Why did you have to watch Xiao Yan's Martial Soul skill? And so close, too. You got blown up.

Ning Rongrong and Oscar both looked at Xiao Yan with strange expressions: You're a support-type Soul Master, but you're a violent support, sending enemies away directly?

Zhu Zhuqing had gained a new perspective. A food-type Soul Master can actually do this?

Flender, being a Soul Saint, didn't freeze in place like Ma Hongjun. After a puff of black smoke from his mouth and nose, he removed his cracked glasses, his eyes wide as he stared at Xiao Yan, waiting for an explanation.

Xiao Yan shrugged, quite helpless. "Blue Silver Exploding Candy explodes when subjected to external force. I hadn't even finished explaining, and you..."

Flender inwardly cursed his bad luck. Everyone knew this kid was strange, yet he still casually took his Martial Soul technique. This was going to be a disaster.

The story of Flender, the headmaster of Shrek Academy, being blown up on the first day of school would probably be told for a long time.

"Is this a food-based Martial Soul technique?" Flender asked, his face stern.

At this moment, his dark, swarthy face, combined with his expression, didn't have much intimidating power, but rather looked somewhat comical.

Xiao Yan gave a wry smile. "Compared to assisting teammates, directly sending enemies to heaven during battle seems like a pretty good choice."

Ning Rongrong blinked, wondering what kind of Soul Ring her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Martial Soul could absorb to produce this kind of technique. This was far better than just assisting teammates in a simple way.

Oscar stroked his chin, also unable to resist his curiosity about this food-based Martial Soul technique that could directly send enemies to heaven.

A super exploding sausage, directly blowing up an enemy… the feeling, just thinking about it was awesome!

Flender pulled a handkerchief from his soul tool and reluctantly wiped the soot from his face. He couldn't help but sigh, "What a violent food-type support Soul Master!"

After a small incident, Flender returned to the main topic and said to Xiao Yan and the other two, "On the Douluo Continent, there are almost no identical Martial Souls. Therefore, what the academy will teach you is not how to cultivate your Martial Soul, but how to use it and how to better protect yourselves and assist your teammates in future battles."

Realizing there might be an issue with what he'd said, Flender quickly added, "Although Xiao Yan's soul skills are quite powerful, not every support-type Soul Master can be like him."
