An old man dressed in coarse linen clothes, with short red hair and a burly build, roared and grabbed Yan Shaozhe by the collar as soon as he came up.

"Hehe, Elder Gong, it wasn't me who did it..." Yan Shaozhe said with a wry smile.

"Bullshit! Besides you, who else here could exert this level of bloodline suppression on a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast? All the other soul beasts under ten thousand years old in my arena are already soiling themselves and have fainted from fright. You'll have to pay for the cleanup!"

"It really wasn't me."

"Who was that? Don't tell me it was one of the students who took the test today, who killed this ten-thousand-year-old Fiery Rhinoceros with unparalleled strength." Elder Gong became increasingly furious.

"Director, Director..." A staff member rushed over and whispered a few words in Gong Changlong's ear.

Gong Changlong's expression gradually turned astonished, blank, and stiff as he looked at Lu Cheng beside him.

……

"That's a 100,000-year soul ring!" Ning Cong exclaimed excitedly as he surrounded Lu Cheng.

"Hmm," Lu Cheng said nonchalantly.

Facing the almost fanatical, worshipful, and infatuated gazes of the Shrek Academy students on both sides, even a noble princess or a beautiful aristocratic young lady couldn't help but send flirtatious glances to Lu Cheng. He was so handsome and so incredibly strong, and his towering spirit and the fact that he could defeat a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast made their legs go weak.

No one can resist this extreme visual impact.

Especially these girls who are going through puberty.

Yu Linglong slumped into his chair, watching the departing figure. His back was already soaked with sweat. It turned out that guy had never considered him an opponent from the beginning...

Lu Cheng, of course, had no time to ponder the psychology of this group of people.

Having dealt with Yan Shaozhe's series of empty promises and resolved the crisis facing Jiang's mother, he completely severed his last ties with Shrek Academy. Now, he's just waiting for Zhang Lexuan to return before making any further plans...

Let's improve our strength first.

There are still about six months until the start of the new school year next year. At least before that... I need to take advantage of Jiao Jiao, this giant power bank, to advance to the Soul King level in one fell swoop.

Next year will truly be a star-studded year.

And... Electrolux and the giant bug.

……

Empire of the Sun and Moon.

In a remote town.

A woman wearing a dark green cloak and a mask was sitting leisurely in a tavern, drinking sweet and mellow Sun and Moon Wine.

The woman picked up her wine glass, lightly touched it with her red lips, and an involuntary look of intoxication and lingering affection flashed in her eyes.

She is retracing his steps.

In his memory, he joined the Holy Spirit Cult and lived here for nearly ten years. In this filthy, evil place that could easily drive a normal person mad, he endured a life of compromise for nearly ten years.

Does she hate it?

Perhaps...

But she only hated the other party for acting on their own initiative, and hated that she wasn't the one who died that night. Her deep-seated hatred for Mu En almost made her show her anger after she woke up, but fortunately it was only for a moment and was not noticed.

But what exactly is the relationship between dreams and reality?

Could it be... that the truth behind the massacre of her family was really the work of Elder Mu? The kind old man from her past memories, who helped her take revenge.

Memories and dreams intertwined, and after carefully searching her memories, she did indeed find something unusual. In the last remaining memory of her childhood, the other party seemed to be an evil spirit master, and her mother blocked her body in front of the cabinet and covered her mouth.

In her eyes, this was almost a huge flaw.

Not to mention that she was only a Great Soul Master at the time, and it was impossible for her to conceal her aura. The opponent could easily slaughter her entire family, so he must be at least a Soul Saint level expert...

Why wasn't she discovered?!

She didn't believe that those ruthless killers would be kind enough to let her go.

Then there's probably only one possibility.

She was the ultimate target that night.

In my memory, Mu En's methods were laid bare, and behind him were even powerful figures like Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui colluding with him. If it weren't for my extraordinary talent, which led me to personally enter the game and die as the price, I wouldn't have been able to reap the benefits and eliminate these three Limit Douluo.

But in this life...

Zhang Lexuan's eyes gradually hardened, and she gently exhaled a puff of white mist. "Brother, don't worry, Lexuan is no longer that delicate little girl. I can stand on my own now."

"I will find out the truth and then kill these guys one by one."

"But Brother Dan."

The beautiful woman's voice was somewhat hoarse again: "Where are you in this life...?"

Under the guise of going on missions, she has traveled to almost half of the Sun Moon Empire over the past two years, searching for the hideouts of various evil soul masters and looking for Lu Cheng's whereabouts.

But they still came up empty-handed.

It's as if this person never existed.

I left the tavern.

She casually dealt with a few burly men who were following her, their eyes filled with lust. Standing on the eaves of a rooftop, she removed her turban, revealing her stunningly beautiful face under the moonlight. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. A dark shadow flew down from the sky and landed on her shoulder a few seconds later.

It was a small, light blue bird with a crumpled piece of paper tied to its leg.

"This is... a letter from Xiaotao?"

Zhang Lexuan's eyes looked slightly better.

The college has sent people to urge her to return several times, but she has always made excuses.

But Xiaotao... has the same experience as her.

She crumpled the paper in her bare hands, glanced at its contents casually, and was about to destroy it.

But his expression suddenly froze.

Her body trembled violently, as if struck by lightning, and her gaze was fixed on the crumpled paper.

"Find Lu Cheng and return immediately!"

Chapter 68 Forced Marriage at Home

Above the eaves.

Zhang Lexuan clutched the envelope in a daze, as if time had frozen. Lu Cheng, whom she had been searching for for two years without any news, had actually appeared at Shrek Academy?

Oh right, he should have memories too...

If he were to search for himself, he would definitely go to Shrek Academy first.

How could she be so stupid!

"Brother, wait for me!" Zhang Lexuan clenched her fair fists, her light blue eyes filled with a mixture of joy and worry. She was afraid that the person was not Lu Cheng, and even more afraid that the academy was using Xiao Tao's handwriting to trick her into going back.

But at least now, there is hope...

Zhang Lexuan gently stroked her fair and clean forehead, where a golden line spread across it, then slowly opened like a golden vertical pupil, releasing powerful spiritual energy.

This was the second martial soul that Lu Cheng gave her before his death, and it also helped her escape the encirclement and suppression of the Holy Spirit Cult's powerful members several times.

"I hope it's not a scam." Zhang Lexuan's eyes narrowed slightly. She probably already sensed Mu En's suspicions because of his shrewd and calculating nature, but he should be unaware of the memory issue, so he was only surprised by the change in his own personality.

“It must be my brother, Xiao Tao wouldn’t lie to me…” Zhang Lexuan took a deep breath to calm her turmoil. After hesitating for a moment, she touched the eaves with her toes and, under the bright moonlight, transformed into a silver streak and sped away into the distance.

……

"This is it?"

Xu Sanshi glanced at the pageboy beside him, his eyes showing some impatience.

"Yes, Second Young Master," the pageboy said with a fawning smile.

"This is the Second Young Mistress's residence. Please knock on the door."

"When did my father arrange a marriage for me? This is such a hassle..." Xu Sanshi said with a gloomy expression. Just yesterday, his childhood page and steward came to him with a letter from his father, saying that he already had a fiancée, who was also a disciple of Shrek Academy and was said to be exceptionally beautiful.

But so what?

He already had someone in his heart: Jiang Nannan, the number one beauty of Shrek Academy's outer school. The key point is that his good brother Beibei has already won over Tang Ya, and Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya are roommates and best friends. Based on the principle of being close to the water, he has already begun to pursue Jiang Nannan.

But this letter shattered all the plans.

Moreover, his father in the letter urged him to take the initiative in pursuing her, saying that a good woman fears a persistent suitor, and that he needed to be thick-skinned. That's how he won over the princess of the Douling Empire, his own biological mother...

"Dong Dong Dong~"

Xu Sanshi knocked on the courtyard gate with some impatience.

"Which one?"

The door was slowly opened.

A stunningly beautiful figure appeared before everyone's eyes. Tall and slender, with an exquisite face, she wore a pale yellow dress and delicate leather boots. She was wearing an apron and her hands were covered in white flour, clearly indicating that she was cooking.

“Nan, Nan Nan?!!” Xu Sanshi was completely stunned.

This happiness came too suddenly.

This left him momentarily stunned.

His dad actually helped him win over the most beautiful girl in Shrek Academy's outer courtyard?! Jiang Nannan is his fiancée?!

Go for it! Even if it means relentlessly pursuing her, I'm determined to win her over!

"Xu Sanshi?" Jiang Nannan's pretty face, which had been carrying a hint of a smile, instantly turned as cold as ice. Who didn't know that all of this was the work of the Xuanming Sect?

What kind of persistent ghost has actually tracked us down here?

If Lu Cheng hadn't been away for so long and only returned to the academy today, and if it weren't for the fact that today was a family reunion dinner, she would have kicked him out long ago, not wanting to spoil the celebration.

"Young Master Xu, please leave. You are not welcome here," Jiang Nannan said coldly.

"Nannan, isn't this a coincidence? I only just found out from my father that we're engaged... This..."

"roll!!!"

Jiang Nannan completely lost it.

Her eyes were as cold as ice, and soul rings were already swirling beneath her feet, her power growing stronger and stronger; she had truly decided to kill.
