Triggering a treasure chest in Douluo Continent

Chapter 85 Zhu Zhuqing

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at the cloth strip over Shi Quan's eyes and the stick in his hand, and her cold expression softened a little. "Okay, give me the stick, and I'll lead the way."

Shi Quan chuckled and shook his head. "Thank you. You can go ahead. I can keep up, don't worry."

After a moment of silence, Zhu Zhuqing nodded and said, "Okay, you can call me if you have any questions."

"Um."

Shi Quan followed Zhu Zhuqing, and the two walked together toward Shrek Academy.

Because of Shi Quan, Zhu Zhuqing's walking speed was noticeably slower than before.

As we walked towards the academy, we saw many parents leading their children back towards Soto City.

These people were clearly the ones who left voluntarily after hearing Shrek's exaggerated demands.

Zhu Zhuqing had clearly learned about Shrek Academy beforehand, and without asking anyone along the way, she led Shi Quan against the flow of people to the entrance of Shrek Academy's village.

At this point, only five or six people remained in the front of the group. The last two were Tang San and Xiao Wu, but Ning Rongrong and Dai Mubai were nowhere to be seen.

"Was she taken in by Dai Mubai, or did she not come?"

As Shi Quan was thinking, Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice rang out, "Shrek Academy is just ahead. There are four more people registering. You can stand next to me."

"Thank you for your help." Shi Quan nodded with a smile.

"It's nothing." Zhu Zhuqing looked into Shi Quan's eyes, her voice much gentler than before.

These remaining people all possessed a soul power exceeding level twenty-one and were no more than twelve years old.

The examination was quick; they determined age by bone-pinch examination, released the martial soul, and checked the spirit rings and martial soul. The whole process took only a minute or two.

They were quickly approaching Tang San when Dai Mubai emerged from the academy. As soon as he stepped out, his wicked eyes fixed intently on Zhu Zhuqing.

Tang San's gaze also fell on Zhu Zhuqing, and his heart trembled. This tremor caused Xiao Wu, who was extremely jealous, to erupt in anger, her fierce gaze seeming as if she wanted to devour Tang San.

If it weren't for Li Yusong's reminder, Tang San would probably have been in serious trouble.

Li Yusong quickly completed the examination for Tang San and Xiao Wu. When he saw Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, Li Yusong became noticeably more curious and immediately instructed Dai Mubai to take Tang San and the other six to the next level.

Dai Mubai's wicked eyes seemed to want to stay on Zhu Zhuqing forever. Hearing Li Yusong's words, he could only reluctantly lead Tang San and the others toward the second level.

Only Shi Quan and Zhu Zhuqing remained to register on-site.

"The registration fee is ten gold soul coins," Li Yusong said to Zhu Zhuqing, completely ignoring Shi Quan standing to the side.

Shi Quan took out twenty gold soul coins from inside his clothes and put them into the wooden box. "Let's register together."

Li Yusong frowned, looked at Shi Quan, and asked, "Are you going to sign up too?"

"Can't I?" Shi Quan asked back.

"Okay, give me your hand."

Shi Quan stretched out his hand, gathering his inner strength in his palm. Because of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, if Shi Quan did not use his inner strength to pry open the muscles for protection, Li Yusong would not be able to determine Shi Quan's exact age by pinching his bones.

"Bone age is appropriate."

Li Yusong checked Zhu Zhuqing's bone age again, nodded, and said, "Release your martial spirits."

Shi Quan and Zhu Zhuqing activated their internal energy and soul power almost simultaneously.

Under the shimmering light, Zhu Zhuqing's long hair naturally draped over her back, and her eyes changed color simultaneously, her left eye becoming dark green and her right eye becoming clear blue. She was surrounded by a faint phantom, and two yellow soul rings spiraled upwards beneath her.

On the other side, Shi Quan's figure remained standing in the same spot, without any change. Only three spirit rings, yellow, yellow, and purple, slowly rose from beneath him!

"A Soul Master?" Li Yusong's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his gaze, which had been on Zhu Zhuqing, immediately focused on Shi Quan. "A twelve-year-old Soul Master."

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze towards Shi Quan also changed; she had never expected Shi Quan's strength to be so high.

Shi Quan smiled faintly, "Teacher, do I meet the academy's requirements?"

"Yes, yes, it matches." Li Yusong smiled broadly, but after looking him up and down, he couldn't help but ask with a hint of doubt, "But what is your martial soul?"

"My martial spirit is myself," Shi Quan said with a smile, pointing to himself.

"Myself?" Li Yusong was taken aback. He had never heard that his martial soul was actually his own, but he didn't think much of it and nodded, saying, "You two have both passed the first test. Wait here for a moment, and Mu Bai will take you to the second test in a little while."

"Yes, teacher." Shi Quan nodded.

The two then went behind the table, and Li Yusong closed his eyes to rest.

"This is the registration fee." Zhu Zhuqing took out ten gold soul coins from her pocket and handed them to Shi Quan.

Shi Quan shook his head and said, "No need, consider it a thank you for bringing me here."

Zhu Zhuqing said, "You've given quite a lot as a thank-you fee."

"Money is just an external thing. I'm very happy to have met you. By the way, I don't know your name yet. My name is Zhuang Zhou," Shi Quan said with a smile.

"Zhu Zhuqing".

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Zhu Zhuqing. Shall I call you Zhuqing?" Shi Quan raised his hand and looked at Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing stared at Shi Quan's hand for a moment, but a faint smile still appeared on her lips. "Okay, it's also a pleasure to meet you, Zhuang Zhou."

He reached out and shook hands with Shi Quan.

Zhu Zhuqing's hands were slender, and their texture was as cool and stiff as she was, yet very soft.

"What are you doing?" Dai Mubai's hurried voice came from not far away.

The two couldn't help but look at Dai Mubai. When Zhu Zhuqing saw Dai Mubai, her expression became noticeably colder, and Shi Quan could feel that Zhu Zhuqing's hands tightened a bit.

Upon hearing Dai Mubai's voice, Li Yusong opened his eyes and looked at Dai Mubai with some confusion. "What's wrong, Mubai?"

Dai Mubai paused, glanced at Shi Quan and Zhu Zhuqing's still-holding hands, and realized that he had been a little anxious and lost his composure. He quickly said, "It's nothing."

Li Yusong looked thoughtfully at Zhu Zhuqing and then at Dai Mubai, shook his head, and said, "Both of them passed the first test. Send them to the second test, especially this kid. Send him directly to the fourth test."

Upon hearing Li Yusong's words, Shi Quan and Zhu Zhuqing finally released their grip.

"Yes." Upon seeing this, Dai Mubai quickly stepped forward, puffed out his chest, and revealed what he considered to be a dashing and handsome smile, saying to Zhu Zhuqing, "Come with me."

Dai Mubai walked beside Zhu Zhuqing, glanced at her, then at Shi Quan. Although Shi Quan looked quite handsome now, his act of being blind immediately boosted Dai Mubai's confidence. As they walked, he asked, "Are you together?"

Zhu Zhuqing's expression was icy, and she had no intention of paying any attention to Dai Mubai.

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing didn't speak, Shi Quan smiled faintly and said, "We came together."

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing remained silent, Dai Mubai, to avoid embarrassment, asked, "What's wrong with your eyes?"

"It's just that we can't see it for now; we will see it one day." Shi Quan's voice was calm, yet it gave people a sense of perseverance.

"You're Dai Mubai, right?" Shi Quan said with a light laugh.

Dai Mubai was taken aback for a moment, then said, "How did you know my surname is Dai?"

Shi Quan explained with a smile, "I've been staying at the Rose Hotel for the past few days. The day before yesterday at noon, I happened to run into you and your two girlfriends sparring with Tang San in the Rose Hotel lobby. I was in a corner at the time, so you probably didn't see me."

"Rose Hotel?!" Dai Mubai's expression froze, and his look towards Shi Quan and Zhu Zhuqing immediately changed.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression turned even colder upon hearing Shi Quan's words.

Dai Mubai's point is that Shi Quan is staying at the Rose Hotel, and Zhu Zhuqing came with Shi Quan, so doesn't that mean the two of them are staying at the Rose Hotel together?

Zhu Zhuqing's focus was naturally on noon, when Dai Mubai took two women to a hotel!

However, in order to save face in front of Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai still asked with a stiff face, "Didn't you say you couldn't see it? How can you be sure it was me?"

"Although I can't see, I can still determine things from sounds and smells. That Blue Silver Grass Soul Master named Tang San was standing right in front of me and Zhu Qing. You even told Tang San that when we got to Shrek Academy, all he had to do was mention your name, Evil-Eyed White Tiger Dai Mubai." Shi Quan said with a faint smile, looking at Dai Mubai. "So don't think that just because I can't see, I don't know anything."

"Alright." Dai Mubai looked embarrassed and could only change the subject, saying, "The second test location is just ahead."

"Tang San, what are you doing?" Dai Mubai shifted his gaze forward and noticed Tang San, who was preparing to buy Oscar sausages not far away.

Upon seeing Dai Mubai, Oscar immediately wore a pained expression. "Boss Dai, want a sausage?"

"Go to hell." Dai Mubai glared at him angrily, then had Oscar demonstrate his soul skill.

Under Dai Mubai's pressure, Oscar could only weakly say in a somewhat lewd voice, "I have a big sausage."

Upon hearing Oscar's soul incantation, Tang San's expression clearly showed more anger, while Zhu Zhuqing's expression also showed more disdain.

Even after Oscar's explanation, the expressions of the others remained unchanged, and they seemed to avoid Oscar's sausage at all costs.

Oscar looked indignant upon seeing this.

"Give me one."

Shi Quan's voice was like a rock falling into a calm pond, creating ripples.

Tang San and Dai Mubai looked at Shi Quan with somewhat strange expressions, as did Zhu Zhuqing. Only Oscar seemed to have met a kindred spirit, stepping forward and grabbing Shi Quan's hand with a look of delighted surprise, saying, "Brother, you just said you wanted a sausage, right?... "
