Douluo Continent: The Peerless Sun and Moon Traverse the Heavens

Late at night, a dim light was still on in the bedroom on the fourth floor of the General Soul Guidance Building.

"Give me another piece of whale glue."

"Born in the Year of the Dog? Never enough to eat."

"I'm never satisfied with you."

Han Ruoruo quickly raised her leg, pressing down on Xu Cheng who was trying to get up, propped herself up on her elbow, and lay on her side looking down at him:

"So you plan to control evil spirits this way from now on?"

"You know Xiao Tao's ancestor, Ma Hongjun, right?"

Xu Cheng stared blankly at the ceiling:

"It's said that before he met Tang San's ancestor, he vented his evil energy in this way. Aren't you quite happy about that?"

Han Ruoruo traced circles on Xu Cheng's chest with her fingers, her tone complex:

"So, besides using the Golden Light Left Arm Bone and some cultivation resources for Nan Nan, you used the rest of the spending card the academy gave you to buy whale glue?"

Do you want to be a whale glue fairy?

At the rate you eat like that, even if you hunted down all the whale-like spirit beasts in the vicinity of the entire continent, it still wouldn't be enough for you to wreak havoc."

As Xu Cheng stroked Han Ruoruo's small, black-stockinged feet, his thoughts drifted back to what had happened that evening:

Today, after learning from Qian Duoduo that his application had been rejected, he knew that he would not be able to integrate into Shrek Academy in a short period of time.

So he took the Jubaoge gift card and went on a spending spree.

Huo Yuhao had too many cheat codes for cultivation. In order to let him cultivate in peace, Xu Cheng used a selection process instead of banning, buying the Golden Radiance left arm bone and the dried ten-thousand-year-old whale glue.

The Golden Light Left Arm Bone was given by Huo Yuhao to his roommate Wang Dong'er at the Treasure Pavilion when he was in his second year.

Its main soul skill is to increase cultivation speed. Because Wang Dong'er and Huo Yuhao can achieve 100% Martial Soul Fusion, their cultivation speed is twice that of a normal Soul Master. With the assistance of this Soul Bone, their cultivation speed can be described as leaping forward.

As for that piece of ancient whale glue, it didn't look very appealing due to being dried for so long, so it was a classic case of finding a bargain.

Whale glue can enhance a Soul Master's physical attributes. Its only drawback is that it can generate desires. However, this is not a drawback for Xu Cheng; he even enjoys it to some extent.

To avoid the God King's gaze, leaving before Huo Yuhao arrives at Shrek City might be a good option.

It's time to make decision two.

After a long silence, Xu Cheng suddenly said:

"Ruoruo, I want to go back to Mingdu."

Han Ruoruo paused her circling fingers, then slowly slid them upwards, cupping Xu Cheng's cheek and making him meet her gaze:

"Fine, I'll go back with you. I don't want to stay in this lousy academy anymore."

Han Ruoruo's voice was tinged with languor and helplessness, her soft whispers sounding like the murmurs of lovers:

"Anyway, I've fallen out with Elder Xuan. With his petty temper, he's definitely not going to have a good life in the future. Actually, when Hai Shenyuan agreed to be your girlfriend, I had this expectation, but I didn't expect things to happen so suddenly."

Sensing that there was no forced meaning in Han Ruoruo's words, Xu Cheng perked up:

"Continue?"

"Continued!"

……

The following morning, Shrek Academy.

"Today we'll be discussing how absorbing spirit rings enhances a spirit master's martial spirit essence..."

In the classroom of Class 1, Grade 3 of the Foreign Languages ​​Department, the class teacher Zhou Yi was holding a textbook on the podium and reading aloud word by word. Her voice was hoarse and had little variation.

The students sitting in the classroom listened attentively to Shrek Academy's millennia-old experience as Soul Masters.

Jiang Nannan, sitting in the center of the classroom, had a blank look in her eyes as she recalled what had happened that morning:

Early in the morning, her sister Ruoruo, looking radiant, came downstairs yawning: "No need to wait for your brother Cheng, he probably won't get up until very late today. Let's eat first, and then go to the academy together later."

The three sat down and enjoyed their morning breakfast as usual. Halfway through the meal, Han Ruoruo suddenly said:

"By the way, Nan Nan, Xu Cheng and I are planning to go to Mingdu together after graduating this semester. I wanted to ask about your plans. You can come with us or stay at Shrek Academy to continue your studies."

Jiang Nannan was at a loss when she heard the news and looked at her mother.

Jiang's mother responded with a gentle smile: "Nannan, I'll listen to you. You're a grown woman now, do what you think is right."

"Oh..." Hearing her mother's statement, Jiang Nannan buried her face in her rice bowl, lowered her head and sipped her porridge. The originally sweet white porridge suddenly became tasteless.

Han Ruoruo reached out and tidied Jiang Nannan's stray hairs: "There's no rush. We respect your decision."

On one side are her older brother and sister whom she considers family, and on the other side is her status as a core disciple of Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent.

These three years were the happiest time of her life. She not only made classmates and friends, but her economic conditions also improved, and her life was full of hope.

Now, suddenly presented with a choice, even a thirteen-year-old girl is filled with hesitation.

However, without Xu Cheng and Han Ruoruo, she might have agreed to help the so-called young master undergo some kind of awakening ritual because she was so eager to save her mother. If she was lucky, she would become the young master's wife; if she was unlucky, she would become a concubine or maid.

Shrek Academy offered her resources for the future, while Xu Cheng and Han Ruoruo gave her a fresh start in life, free from bowing her head and compromising herself.

This question wasn't actually difficult for her to answer.

Jiang Nannan was nudged by the person next to her as she supported her body. She turned around and saw her deskmate and best friend, Tang Ya, whose long, black hair was styled into a high ponytail and whose big eyes were full of youthful liveliness.

Tang Ya leaned close to Jiang Nannan's ear and whispered, "What's wrong, Nannan? You seem distracted all morning."

Seeing that it was her best friend who cared about her, Jiang Nannan glanced at Zhou Yi, who was lecturing on the podium, and replied in a low voice, "Xiaoya, I might not be studying at Shrek Academy next semester."

"ah?!"

Tang Ya exclaimed excitedly, her voice immediately attracting the attention of the whole class. She instinctively tried to cover her mouth, but to no avail.

"Tang Ya! Stand up!"

Zhou Yi's stern voice came from the front of the classroom.

Tang Ya cursed her bad luck inwardly. Having studied under Zhou Yi for three years, she naturally knew the old hag's temper and dared not resist. She lowered her head and stood up timidly.

"You're a great Soul Master, yet you don't focus on your own cultivation and don't bother Jiang Nannan, who's already a Soul Sect Master. She's a core disciple of the outer academy. The academy requires you to reach the Soul Venerable level to advance to the fourth year. Let's see if you can still stay in the academy."

Someone like you, at the bottom of the class, should have been expelled long ago.

Zhou Yi paused, as if thinking of something: "If you hadn't used the Tang Sect's quota to enroll, you wouldn't even have been able to get through the gates of Shrek Academy. I'm going to teach monsters, not trash like you who has no talent and doesn't even bother to cultivate properly."

Upon hearing the words "Tang Clan," Tang Ya clenched her fist and replied, "Teacher, I'm trying..."

"Effort? With your talent, what good would it do to work harder? Are you born with full soul power like Tang San's ancestor? Do you have twin martial souls?"

Tang Ya fought back tears welling up in her eyes: "Teacher, every leader of our Tang Clan has followed..."

"Shut up! If you don't want to listen to the lesson, then stand outside the classroom."

Just as Tang Ya was about to take a step, a slender, fair hand appeared in front of her, blocking her way.

It was Jiang Nannan.
