Douluo Continent: Saving Zhang Lexuan at the Start

Chapter 65 Unexplained Hostility

Last night, Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan spent quite a while shopping at Shrek City, but they didn't buy much.

As the most prosperous city in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, Shrek City's prices are incomparable to those of other places.

Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan didn't visit many major cities. Compared to Tianyue City, where the Zhang family lived, Shrek City had prices that were almost three times higher.

Although both of them were well-off, they didn't spend money recklessly. After buying a few pieces of good quality clothing, they hurriedly left Shrek City.

"Ying-ge, do you think we'll run into that senior who borrowed money from you today?"

Zhang Lexuan blinked her beautiful eyes, a hint of seriousness appearing in them.

Although Han Ruoruo changed her clothes before going to Shrek City, Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan still sensed that there was a faint killing intent emanating from her that was somewhat dissipating and not yet fully formed.

This situation only occurs shortly after someone or something has been killed.

Han Ruoruo looked as if she had just returned, which made the perceptive Zhang Lexuan suspect that Shrek Academy might have some secrets.

Ye Ying wasn't sure either, but he remembered that Han Ruoruo had also participated in the Soul Master Competition, and given her current age, she should be able to meet her.

At dawn, Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan had already arrived at the opposite platform.

Just like yesterday, the platform remains closed.

Upon seeing that the visitors were Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan, the inner court students guarding the area voluntarily allowed them to pass.

The pretty female student chuckled softly, "You juniors are here quite early; the regulars haven't arrived yet."

To be selected for the inner academy of Shrek Academy, one must have a very good background and influence.

The reserve teams of the Soul Master Competition have always been a shortcut and a ticket to Shrek Academy's inner court.

Therefore, the female students in the inner courtyard also wanted to make connections, hoping that they might become useful contacts in the future.

Ye Ying is not averse to making friends with others, after all, making friends is one of the reasons he came to Shrek Academy.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the two inner court students at the entrance, the two also went to the opposite platform, where only Elder Song was sitting there meditating and cultivating.

The arrival of the two startled Old Song awake. "Oh ho, the two little ones are here quite early!"

"Greetings, Elder Song!"

Although the Ye family and Shrek Academy have a so-so relationship, Elder Song is a renowned figure in the Soul Master world and a Super Douluo-level expert. It is not shameful to pay respects to such an elder.

Old Master Song himself is quite easygoing, and apart from Xian Lin'er, there are hardly any people who can make her angry.

Seeing that no one was around, Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan found a quiet place to sit down and did not continue to disturb them.

A moment later, seven blood-red figures arrived. The one in the lead was none other than Han Ruoruo, who had asked Ye Ying for money yesterday.

The seven people approached Elder Song and bowed in unison.

Unlike his casual and indifferent demeanor when meeting Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan, Old Song's expression became noticeably more enthusiastic when he saw the seven people led by Han Ruoruo.

This is quite normal, unlike their year which included Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan, plus Ning Yu, three people with intertwined interests.

Han Ruoruo and the others were basically Shrek Academy's core members, whom they had cultivated with great effort.

Behind them were not powerful families like the Ye family; they were either minor nobles or from forces closely related to Shrek Academy, and their loyalty to Shrek was still quite high.

After talking with Mr. Song for a while, the group stood quietly behind him.

During this time, Han Ruoruo glanced at Ye Ying intentionally or unintentionally, thinking to herself: What a coincidence, I was originally planning to inquire about it from the outer courtyard.

After quite a while, Xu Xiangzhou, Chen Jiuying, Xu Le, Ning Yu, and Wu Ming from the reserve team also arrived one after another.

"Alright, everyone's here. Let's all introduce ourselves, starting with the reserve team!"

Under Elder Song's orders, Ye Ying and the others introduced themselves one by one. As the only Soul Master, Zhang Lexuan undoubtedly became the focus of everyone's attention once again.

After the reserve team finished their self-introductions, the regular team members began to introduce themselves. The first one was Han Ruoruo: "Captain Han Ruoruo, Martial Soul: Golden Rope, Level 65 Control-type Battle Soul Emperor."

"Song Wei, Martial Soul: Purple Gold Soft Sword, Level 63 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Emperor."

"Yu Shuqiang, Martial Soul: Jade Tree, Level 58 Support-type Soul King."

"Ling Tianyu, Martial Soul Ice Hidden Dragon, Level 57 Agility-Attack Type Battle Soul King."

"Dai Tianyong, Martial Soul: White Tiger, Level 55 Battle Soul King!"

"Mu Zifeng, Martial Soul: Red Maple Leaf, Level 59 Power Attack Type Battle Soul King."

"Yuan Longpan, Martial Soul: Dragon Pattern Staff, Level 57 Agility-Attack Type Battle Soul King."

The seven selected students were introduced one by one. It must be said that although the students of Shrek Academy all have impressive backgrounds, their strength is also quite good.

Of the seven regulars, none of them were below level 55, but Ye Ying always felt that someone harbored considerable hostility towards him.

Not only him, but Zhang Lexuan also noticed it.

His gaze sharpened, and it was none other than Dai Tianyong, the main candidate with the lowest soul power, from the lineage of Duke White Tiger.

"Alright, now that you've met, let's have an exchange match. The teams will switch places, and I'll see how you perform."

Unlike Elder Xuan, who was a bit of a show-off, Elder Song was relatively normal. He handled everything in a proper and conventional manner and didn't try anything fancy.

"Hey juniors, here, this is what I borrowed yesterday, returning it to you!"

With a gentle smile, Han Ruoruo strode up to Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan.

After handing the money bag to Ye Ying, Han Ruoruo suddenly said, "Do you want to join my team for the exchange match later? Don't worry, I won't choose that bastard Dai Tianyong."

Stubborn, self-willed, fond of showing off, and lustful—these are some of the flaws that members of the Dai family, the White Tiger clan, generally have to some extent.

Han Ruoruo didn't have a very good impression of Dai Tianyong, mainly because Dai Tianyong had once coveted her and even tried to force himself on her.

That time, even the usually gentle Han Ruoruo was genuinely angry and wanted to kill Dai Tianyong.

However, at the crucial moment, the elder of the Dai family responsible for protecting him arrived, which prevented Han Ruoruo from succeeding.

Later, with the coordination of Shrek Academy, the Dai family paid a huge price to clean up Dai Tianyong's mess.

Although that incident happened quite some time ago, Han Ruoruo still felt disgusted, especially since Dai Tianyong was still in her group.

Zhang Lexuan looked at Ye Ying with her beautiful eyes and a charming smile, as if to say, "I'll do whatever you say."

A resolute glint flashed in Ye Ying's eyes. "Alright, then please guide me, senior!"

"Hey, no problem!"

After winning over Ye Ying and the other person, the carefree Han Ruoruo went on to find other people.

Although Ye Ying still had a smile on her face, she had already made a mental note of the Dai family: Indeed, like begets like, the descendants of Dai Mubai—ha!
