"Roar!"

Inside Shrek Academy's training grounds, a massive winged tiger soared through the air, radiating immense pressure.

"We finally succeeded!"

Yu Xiaogang, Zhao Wuji, Flender, Shao Xin, Li Yusong, and Lu Qibin watched from the sidelines.

It had been over two months since Dai Mubai's death.

Though he was gone, the Netherworld White Tiger remained—stronger than ever.

"They've just achieved Martial Soul fusion, and their compatibility isn't yet perfect. There's still room for improvement," Yu Xiaogang commented.

Zhao Wuji grinned. "Yunhan and Zhuer are getting along better and better. Their fusion will definitely reach perfection."

Li Yusong added, "Right now, their combined power is at the Soul King level. Zhu Zhuqing is only a Great Soul Master, so there's a gap between her and Yunhan. If both were Soul Ancestors, their fusion might even reach Soul Emperor strength."

Shao Xin chuckled. "They're still young. There's plenty of time for growth—no need to rush."

Lu Qibin mused, "Among the seven of them, Yunhan and Tang San have the highest potential, followed by Oscar. I hope all three eventually become Titled Douluo."

Flender laughed. "If that happens, Shrek Academy's name will go down in history! Haha, let's hope for the best."

On the other side, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar watched the Netherworld White Tiger in awe.

"So this is the power of Martial Soul fusion!" Ma Hongjun exclaimed. "I wish I could find someone to fuse with too!"

Oscar teased, "Fatty, maybe you should go find a wild chicken. That might work."

"Screw you!" Ma Hongjun scowled.

Ning Rongrong interjected, "Martial Soul fusion isn't that simple. Yunhan and Zhuqing both have beast-type Martial Souls, and they're both feline-based. The key is that Zhuqing's Netherworld Spirit Cat already has fusion experience with tiger-type Martial Souls. Plus, they've been training together nonstop. The conditions are strict—otherwise, everyone would be fusing left and right."

Xiao Wu added, "I think the most important thing is that Yunhan and Zhuqing have a deep bond. Their chemistry is what made it work."

Ning Rongrong nodded. "Mhm, that's crucial."

Tang San, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun exchanged awkward glances.

After all, it was no secret that Xu Yunhan and Zhu Zhuqing were a couple—yet Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong still acted casually around him, as if being Zhuqing's best friends meant they had free rein.

Strangely enough, Zhu Zhuqing didn't seem to mind Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu getting close to Xu Yunhan.

Were they really okay with sharing?

The three girls often spent time with Xu Yunhan, laughing and enjoying themselves.

Tang San and Oscar couldn't help but feel jealous. Yet, whenever they tried to call out Xu Yunhan's behavior, Xiao Wu would argue that nothing inappropriate was happening—just normal friendship. She even accused Tang San of being petty, which only made him more frustrated.

What none of them realized was that Xu Yunhan's "Charm" soul skill was subtly influencing Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong, deepening their trust and affection for him.

Tang San and the others were also affected, but their jealousy and resentment counteracted the growing goodwill.

High above, Xu Yunhan and Zhu Zhuqing—merged as the Netherworld White Tiger—felt an indescribable connection. A single glance was enough to understand each other's thoughts.

For Zhu Zhuqing, this was her first time achieving Martial Soul fusion—and with the person she loved. Happiness filled her heart.

He was her anchor now. She couldn't bear to lose him.

They flew until Zhu Zhuqing's soul power ran low, forcing them to separate.

"Yunhan, my soul power is too weak. I could've done better," Zhu Zhuqing said guiltily.

Xu Yunhan patted her head. "It's fine. I'll help you. I'll always be with you."

Overcome with emotion, Zhu Zhuqing stood on her toes and kissed his cheek.

"Ahem! We're still here, you know!" Ma Hongjun ruined the moment.

Blushing furiously, Zhu Zhuqing hurried over to Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu.

"Boss, you're amazing!" Ma Hongjun said in admiration. "Wait—Boss, did your soul power just increase?"

Xu Yunhan nodded. "The fusion gave us both a breakthrough. I'm now at Rank 44."

Zhu Zhuqing had reached Rank 29.

"Damn! That's not fair!" Ma Hongjun whined. "I need to find a girl to fuse with too!"

Oscar walked over, grinning. "Fatty, stop daydreaming. Boss, congrats—double happiness!"

Oscar had recently broken through to Rank 32.

Among the seven, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were Great Soul Masters, while Tang San, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Xiao Wu were Soul Elders. Xu Yunhan alone stood at Soul Ancestor level.

"Enough chatter. Back to training," Yu Xiaogang ordered. "Especially Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong—you must work harder to reach Soul Elder. The rest of you, no slacking either."

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing nodded silently.

These days, Xu Yunhan and the others spent most of their time cultivating. The long-distance runs had been abandoned, and after Dai Mubai's incident, plans to train at Suotuo City's Great Spirit Arena were postponed.

However, the past two months had been peaceful.

With Dai Mubai's death ruled as an accident (likely due to his reckless lifestyle), Yu Xiaogang was reconsidering sending them back to the arena.

Nightfall.

Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu were about to begin their evening cultivation when Zhu Zhuqing spoke up.

"Xiao Wu, Rongrong… I'm going to Yunhan's place to train with him."

Xiao Wu blinked, then smirked. "Zhuqing, you're not planning anything naughty, are you?"

Ning Rongrong added, "We're still young. Some things can wait."

Zhu Zhuqing's face burned. "You two have dirty minds! He's just tutoring me. I'll be back after we're done."

As Zhu Zhuqing left, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu exchanged glances.

"Xiao Wu… do you think she'll really come back tonight?" Ning Rongrong asked, a hint of envy in her voice.

"She said she would," Xiao Wu replied distractedly.

Ning Rongrong stood abruptly. "Yunhan's cultivation is advancing so fast—he must have a special method! Xiao Wu, let's go ask him for advice. What do you think?"

"Is… that okay?" Xiao Wu hesitated.

Ning Rongrong stared at her until Xiao Wu finally nodded.

Together, they headed out.

Zhu Zhuqing had only just arrived at Xu Yunhan's place when the other two showed up.

She sighed inwardly—she had genuinely come to train (though a little affection wouldn't hurt). Xu Yunhan, too, had only intended to guide her. There was no rush; she wasn't going anywhere.

But with Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong there, Xu Yunhan treated them all equally.

All three were women he'd marked as his own. If he could help them, why not?

Especially Ning Rongrong—the future heir of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. Winning her over meant gaining influence, and she was the perfect key.

So, with utmost seriousness, Xu Yunhan taught them advanced cultivation techniques from ten thousand years in the future. The three girls listened intently, absorbing every word.

By midnight, the lesson ended, and the trio returned together.

Ma Hongjun, who happened to be out for a late-night bathroom break, spotted them.

"Heh… Tang San and Oscar don't stand a chance," he muttered to himself. "The boss is just too damn good."
