Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, who was kidnapped to another world

Oscar is only fourteen years old. Reaching level 30 in soul power at fourteen is a rather astonishing number for traditional soul masters. Although it cannot compare to Xiao Yan's level 30 at the age of ten, it is still a remarkable achievement for Oscar, a food-type soul master, to reach level 30 at the age of fourteen.

"Good, good, good! Oscar, I knew I hadn't misjudged you!" Flander's eyes lit up noticeably.

"You are the third Soul Master to reach level 30 among the current students. On behalf of the academy, I congratulate you!"

Upon hearing the word "third," the others suddenly remembered that there was a super genius present who had reached level 30 at the age of ten.

Oscar suddenly realized that he, a fourteen-year-old level 30, had nothing to be proud of in front of Xiao Yan, or even Tang San and Xiao Wu.

After everyone's congratulations to Oscar had temporarily subsided, Flander slowly announced the content of the lesson—eating sausages made by Oscar.

In order to persuade the girls and Tang San, whose faces clearly darkened after hearing the content of the lesson, Flander even called it: adaptive training.

"This is training your mindset. If you can't even do this, how will you survive in the world of Soul Masters? To survive, you must do whatever it takes! Don't even mention eating a sausage. When your life is in danger, you have to eat rats, cockroaches, and earthworms!"

Upon hearing these words, the girls' faces turned pale simultaneously, and they looked even more uneasy.

"Alright, I'll go first." Xiao Yan didn't seem to mind and simply stepped forward, extending his right hand to Oscar.

"Huh?" Oscar glanced at Flander instinctively, only to be glared at before hurriedly chanting the soul incantation, "I have a big sausage! I have a small sausage!"

Xiao Yan took the freshly made sausage from Oscar, glanced at it, and then put it directly into his mouth.

"The effects of the First-Grade Qi-Returning Pill, which also includes some healing benefits, barely qualify it as a Second-Grade."

Xiao Yan had a high opinion of Oscar's first soul skill, but the detoxification effect of his second soul skill was significantly worse. Xiao Yan even suspected that the detoxification effect of this soul skill was not as good as the detoxification powder refined by the pharmacist.

With Xiao Yan taking the lead, the others felt embarrassed to be coy and ate the sausages made by Oscar one after another.

The one who had the most fun was Ma Hongjun. As a senior student at Shrek Academy, he must have experienced this kind of class many times. But when it was his turn, he had to force himself to show resistance until Flander threatened him. Only then did he reluctantly eat the dozen or so sausages and cured meats that Oscar had prepared.

Seeing that everyone had finished today's lesson, Flander nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good, you have all passed today's lesson. Remember, from now on, when you are together, Oscar will be your logistical support. Forget those meaningless soul spells, preserve your lives, become stronger, and unleash your full potential, or even exceed your usual level. That is the most important thing!"

"Now, everyone go back and prepare. You have one day to adjust and rest. Tomorrow morning, we will all set off. Teacher Zhao Wuji will lead you to the Star Dou Great Forest to help Oscar obtain his third spirit ring. Consider this a trial for all of you. Before encountering a thousand-year-old spirit beast, Teacher Zhao will not easily take action. Everything depends on yourselves. Alright, dismissed."

After the group dispersed, several girls went to Soto City in a group, seemingly to buy enough camping supplies; Ma Hongjun was the same as yesterday, disappearing as soon as the group dispersed, but judging from his gaunt appearance in the morning, as if he had lost several kilograms, it was probably not because the side effects of removing his martial soul had been removed.

Xiao Yan, Oscar, and Tang San returned to their dormitory.

"Rock Owl, you should have been to the Star Dou Great Forest, right? Tell me about it."

Squeezed into Xiao Yan's room, Tang San looked at Xiao Yan with some curiosity, but his eyes were clearly scanning around the room as if he were looking for something.

"Star Dou Great Forest? It's a pretty dangerous place..." Xiao Yan ignored Tang San's subtle movements and continued reminiscing, "There are countless powerful soul beasts, and countless opportunities..."

If the Azure Flame Dragon Beast can be considered powerful, then its treasure can be considered an opportunity.

"Is that the forest where the Heaven Dou Empire raises soul beasts?"

"Haven't you learned about the Soul Hunting Forest?" Oscar retorted helplessly. "You basically won't find thousand-year-old soul beasts in forests where soul beasts are kept in captivity!"

"Is that so..." Tang San smiled awkwardly, while his eyes, which had been looking around, refocused on Xiao Yan.

"I hope Oscar has a good harvest this time," Xiao Yan said to Oscar, ignoring Tang San's gaze.

"Then I will borrow your blessing!"

Oscar laughed heartily.

Chapter 41 Canghui Academy

The next morning, after breakfast, everyone spontaneously went to the playground to assemble.

Even earlier than them, Zhao Wuji and Dai Mubai were waiting on the playground.

Upon seeing Zhao Wuji and Dai Mubai, everyone's faces showed obvious astonishment; they wanted to laugh, but dared not actually do so.

Zhao Wuji had three or four bruises on his face that hadn't faded, and the panda eye around his left eye made him look ridiculous; as for Dai Mubai, his head was swollen into the shape of a pig's head, and his originally handsome appearance was completely unrecognizable at this moment.

"What are you looking at, you little brats? Are you asking for a beating?"

Hearing the words "little brat," Xiao Wu was clearly displeased and whispered, "Why not say 'blind bear'?"

Zhao Wuji's eyes widened. "Xiao Wu, what are you saying?"

Tang San subconsciously took a step to the side, waving to Xiao Wu behind him while shielding her behind him, his protectiveness evident in his words.

Upon seeing Tang San, Zhao Wuji's expression clearly showed a hint of hesitation, and in the end, he did not pursue the matter of Xiao Wu's teasing.

"Alright, it seems you're all ready. Let's set off then. Mu Bai, you lead the team!"

Although he was the instructor leading the group, Zhao Wuji was only responsible for protecting the safety of the students. He would not interfere with the arrangements for things like lining up when traveling or taking breaks during the journey.

"Yes, Teacher Zhao!"

Despite his face being swollen like a pig's head, Dai Mubai's voice was very clear, suggesting that it was Flander who had attacked him.

"Yan Xiao, Tang San, you two go first. Oscar and Ning Rongrong, you two follow behind them. Zhu Zhuqing, you are responsible for protecting Oscar and Ning Rongrong. Fatty and Xiao Wu, you two go to the left and right sides. I'll be at the back."

After everyone nodded to indicate that there were no problems, they followed Zhao Wuji out of the academy and then... started running.

As they continued their journey, everyone's physical strength was constantly being depleted. However, with Oscar's sausages as a source of replenishment, the exertion from running was negligible, and everyone's energy remained almost uninterrupted.

Although Oscar and Ning Rongrong's stamina was a bit of a drag, by nightfall, the Shrek Academy group had already traveled more than 400 kilometers and were very close to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Seeing that they wouldn't reach their destination that day, Zhao Wuji ordered a rest, as they had just arrived at a small town. Continuing forward, it was uncertain whether they would find supplies.

The town is many times larger than the village where Shrek Academy is located. Except for the lack of city walls, it is almost like a complete small city. The streets are lined with shops, and of course, apart from restaurants and hotels, most of the shops are related to Soul Masters.

Upon arriving in town, Zhao Wuji randomly selected a hotel, booked a single room, and went upstairs. After a brief discussion, the students decided to book three triple rooms, three for the girls and the remaining boys to draw lots to decide their rooms.

"Let's eat first before going upstairs, shall we? I'm getting nauseous from eating sausages all day." Ma Hongjun voiced everyone's thoughts, and even Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement.

So the eight of them found a table in the corner and sat down.

"Should we go and call Teacher Zhao down?" Xiao Yan asked Dai Mubai.

After a day of treatment with Oscar's sausage, Dai Mubai's facial swelling had mostly subsided. Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, he shook his head: "No need. Our teacher won't pay any fees for us or accept any benefits from us. This is a rule specifically set by the dean."

Ma Hongjun, who was chosen by everyone to order the food, smiled and came over, saying, "Isn't it great? Everything is clear and transparent. I like the unpretentious feeling of the academy!"

"Alright, go order your food!" Dai Mubai pushed Ma Hongjun in an annoyed tone.

Ma Hongjun chuckled twice, picked up the menu handed to him by the waiter, and quickly ordered more than a dozen dishes. Xiao Yan had never heard of most of the dish names, but the fat man looked very excited.

The eight people sat around a table. Although Zhu Zhuqing kept a cold face, Oscar and Ma Hongjun were both talkative people, so for a while, the atmosphere was quite good.

"By the way, Boss Dai, what happened to you this morning? Did the Dean really hit you so hard?" Oscar suddenly asked in a low voice after chatting for a while.

In the morning, because of Zhao Wuji's threat, everyone tacitly ignored the injuries on Zhao Wuji and Dai Mubai's faces. On the way, they didn't have time to ask because they were running non-stop. Now that they had some free time, Oscar naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass by.

“Uh…” Dai Mubai’s expression froze, and he subconsciously glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, who was sitting there with an icy expression.

However, Zhu Zhuqing's gaze did not fall on Dai Mubai at all. Instead, the others cast somewhat mocking glances at him because of the Oscar issue.

"What are you looking at? Skipping class is a...!"

Zhu Zhuqing's neglect made Dai Mubai grit his teeth, and he had no intention of properly answering the questions Oscar asked.

“Yesterday, the dean and Teacher Lu caught Boss Dai at the central hotel in Soto City,” Ma Hongjun said, while eating the dishes that had just been served and tearing down Dai Mubai’s underwear. “I heard that when they found Boss Dai, he was still asleep…”

"If you keep talking, you'll have to pay!" Dai Mubai roared, resorting to threats.

"...I didn't say anything!" Ma Hongjun's small eyes darted around, and thinking about the expensive dishes he had ordered, he reluctantly chose to stop gossiping.

"What are you afraid of, Fatty? Keep talking!" Oscar grinned mischievously. "I've hardly ever used my allowance. I can always pay for it myself!"

"real?!"

The prospect of being able to gossip without paying made Ma Hongjun's eyes light up.

"real……"

"Really what?" Dai Mubai interrupted Oscar. "You don't want me to reveal the reason for your breakthrough yesterday, do you?"

"The reason for the breakthrough?" Oscar was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed drastically. "Fine, I won't say anything!"

"Was there any special reason for Oscar's breakthrough yesterday?" Tang San, who had been stuck at level 29 for several months, asked curiously, thinking about his breakthrough in the last two days.

“There’s no reason at all! It’s just accumulated over time!” Oscar replied firmly.

"Tch, what are you pretending for?" Ma Hongjun, who couldn't stand Dai Mubai's antics, quipped, "So what if you went to a brothel? What's there to be ashamed of?"

"Not a brothel! Not a brothel! Yingzi isn't a brothel girl!" As a result, Oscar was completely blown away.

None of those present were truly innocent. Almost immediately after Ma Hongjun revealed Oscar's little secret, everyone understood that Oscar had given up his virginity after fourteen years, either yesterday or the night before.

For a moment, the Shrek Academy students couldn't help but chuckle.

What are you laughing at?

Seeing himself fall into the water, Oscar immediately set his sights on Dai Mubai. He had only instigated Ma Hongjun before because he didn't want to expose Dai Mubai's dirty deeds. Now that he was in the water himself, he naturally wouldn't let Dai Mubai get away with it: "Boss Dai was really impressive the night before last! A pair of twins!"

After saying this, Oscar closed his eyes, looking as if he were bravely going to his death.

Unexpectedly, Dai Mubai completely ignored Oscar and instead looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a panicked expression, "Zhuqing, let me explain!"

You really disgust me!

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Dai Mubai with disappointment, her first reaction to him still being flustered and wanting to explain rather than directly revealing the identities of those women. At this moment, she had completely given up on the competition for the future and only wanted to enjoy her last days at the academy.

"Zhuqing, let me explain!"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing turn and go upstairs, not even intending to continue dinner, Dai Mubai looked panicked. He wanted to stop her, but didn't dare to actually go forward.

"puff……"

Dai Mubai's comical performance ultimately made people laugh.

"Who's laughing?! Step forward!"

Dai Mubai instantly flew into a rage, seamlessly activating his Martial Soul and summoning his Soul Rings. Then, ignoring the tables and chairs blown away by the air currents from his Martial Soul summoning, his crimson eyes fixed on the direction from which the laughter originated—

There were eight people sitting at that table, each wearing a moon-white Soul Master robe. However, the robe of the man in the forties at the head of the group was embroidered with exquisite patterns in silver thread.

The one who laughed was, unsurprisingly, the only girl among the eight.

"Brother..."

Seeing Dai Mubai's posture, one of the eight young men stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute, as if preparing to apologize.

"This trash from Canghui Academy dares to talk to me?!" Dai Mubai completely ignored the young man's actions, his soul ring lit up, and he opened his mouth, spitting out a white ball of light.

A purple-gold light screen appeared in front of the young man who had just summoned his martial soul. As the light screen fluctuated, Dai Mubai's White Tiger Blazing Light Wave was swallowed up.

"Yan Xiao, what are you doing?!"
